How to tell if you’re a True Summer
Often ash brown or ash blonde hair, blue, grey or cool hazel eyes, and pink or rosy skin that burns before it tans.
Features vary a lot within every season, so the most reliable test is how colors react with your face. Take the free color analysis quiz for a quick estimate, or let the ToneLily app analyze a selfie in natural light.
