One thing worth saying

  • People often describe Light Summers as fair individuals with blonde hair and blue eyes. In practice—especially when analysing clients from East Asian, South Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Latina and mixed-heritage backgrounds—you'll find many Light Summers with naturally light-to-medium cool brown hair and soft brown eyes. The defining characteristics are light value, gentle coolness, low contrast and soft refinement.
