Light Summer

Golden blonde over brown eyes is the pairing people notice, because the hair reads light and the eyes read deep. The palette keeps the neutrals pale so that contrast stays yours, then uses mulberry and blue plum to bring the eyes forward.

Cool, light and airy - powdery blues, lilacs and petal pinks.

Light summer is cool and light, which reads on the page as powdery and reads in a mirror as clean. The trap is contrast rather than color: put one dark piece into this palette and it takes over the whole outfit. Keeping the values close together is most of the skill here.
