What True Summer looks like

You are the coolest of the summers: skin with a pink or neutral-rosy cast, ash-toned hair, and eyes in soft blue, grey-blue or cool hazel. Blue-based colours with a little softness, such as watermelon, raspberry, cornflower and sea green, look effortless on you, while orange, gold and warm browns turn your skin sallow.
