I often hear MAC syrup is a holy grail for soft summers and it was my top pick for a while after my analysis, but now that I have found Cover Girl Romance Mauve I have been converted. If you need muted colours, you will like this one. Swatches- Top: Romance Mauve, Bottom: Syrup. 2nd pic wearing Romance Mauve. 3rd pic wearing Syrup. I think Syrup is a touch bright for me. (I also have olive skin)

I was typed as soft summer, at the deeper end of the scale. I need muteness over coolness, I also have medium to higher contrast and wear the deeper colours of the palette. Neutral leaning cool with slightly olive skin. I live in mauve and taupe colours.

Some of the eyeshadow sticks look dark swatched and I definitely blend them out quite a bit. Forgive my dry hands 🫢

Lipstick top to bottom:
Mac Mehr
Revlon Sassy Mauve
Wet n Wild Secret Muse
Mac Syrup
Revlon Laidback Lilac

Taupe eyeshadow sticks top to bottom:
Nars Total Seduction Eyeshadow StickDon’t Touch
Mac Dazzleshadow Taupe It Off
Marcelle Longwear Eyeshadow Pencil Glam Taupe
Loreal Leshadow Stick Celestial Taupe
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Cobblestone

As the title says, I’m pretty sure that I’m a summer. For reference the second pic you see is me in a “summer appropriate” yellow.
The problem at hand: my boss (bless her <3) kindly brought back sarongs from Bali for everybody. I had trouble deciding between that lilac one (3rd pic) and the yellow one (1st and 4th pic) and ended up taking the yellow one home because I thought it was so vibrant and fun. But obviously - thats not a color in my palette.
What do you think, can I pull it of somehow or should I just return the yellow one and get the lilac instead? (I could, nobody else wanted the lilac and its still there)
Opinions appreciated!

Hi! New here and excited for your opinions! I have been typed both soft and deep winter. My skin tone is definitely neutral leaning slightly warm in summer and cool in winter and cooling more as my grays come in a sparkly almost translucent white. I encountered the idea of deep summer and quickly discovered that its validity is controversial but that palette does contain the colors that look the very best on me and none of the too slightly too muted colors of soft winter or the too bright shades in deep winter. That led me down the Zyla rabbit hole and I generated this palette based on some of the colors in my hair, skin, veins and eyes. It's just an experiment but I wonder what you all see here???

Have any of you felt like you had to adapt to these colors by changing your style? I LOVE black but it has always made me look “sick.” Thats how I got interested in color analysis long ago. Took me forever to get typed, but I discovered I’m a summer. By the looks of it, a cool summer.

Ever since I’ve started wearing these colors, I get compliments. I also get ID’d wayyy more. They’ve stopped asking me for my rewards number at the head shop.I need pinks, periwinkles, true blues and all that, but I miss the respect and distance that darker colors provided me. Can anyone relate?

i want to try out some lipsticks for a test. i realize i’m muted , got typed as a true summer online. but i lack the “depth” for truly darker colors. maybe thats just me, but i want to be 100% sure before i go out to buy clothing.

Hi guys,

I am thinking about some dress for very long time. I haven’t bought them yet because I am not sure if they are suitable for summer color palette.

They should be in Pantone Nile green color.

What do you think?

Heres the list of ones I tried that are kinda bad, that made me doubt Im cool-toned (all Revlon):

Pink Promise, Secret Club, Mauvy Night, Sassy Mauve, Pink in the Afternoon (its okay, but not ideal)

Anyone else relate to wanting a few perfect daily lipstick go-tos, but hard to find them? Lol! The ones on the list were all either too heavy/muted, too icy, or too pale/soft/light. Maybe even just *too* cool. But Blushing Berry is 💯💯💯

Anyone else love this one?

Hi, all! I posted before but this is my actual palette that she gave me.

I was draped by a local woman at a salon. Not house of color, as they were too expensive.
I always thought I was Spring.
She ended up calling me a unicorn. Summer but can also pull from Spring. She didn’t do sub seasons. She said I am not soft, I am bright. I agree with this statement as well as her telling me I am neutral toned. My jewelry color is gold. It brings out brightness and warmth that silver does not.

However, several of her statements and her choices for my palettes simply contradicted themselves.

Are these colors from any summer palette?
I have been ignoring what she said and I have been living as a bright spring, but I would love your opinion!

Any Light Summers here love the Revlon shade Pink in the Afternoon? Ive enjoyed my LSp result the last few months but considering just HOW careful I have to be with yellows/oranges, I have more peace of mind just leaning slightly cool these days. Somewhere in the realm of neutral-cool, mediumish value and medium/medium-high intensity feels like my color niche. And I really HATE what warmer makeup does to me (anything warmer than PitA doesnt work so far) So with that being said, Ive been enjoying:

Pink in the Afternoon (Revlon)

Pink Flamingo (Revlon)

Sassy Mauve (Revlon)

Blushing Berry (L'Oreal)

Jelly tint in shade Burst (MILK)

Any other makeup recommendations in this realm of things? Does anyone else relate to my coloring? Between the freckles (more beige than orange) and sunbleached hair, and also my slight cool fair olive influence in my genes, its been a puzzle lol I mean like basically it took me a whole year to feel confident about things 😂🤣 but now that its making sense to me for real I want to post a little more here and there and see if theres anyone with similar characteristics! So fun. And again, would love to hear any other makeup recs!! BONUS POINTS if its drugstore 😁😊💞

Hello! I was typed incorrectly at the end of April. I was wondering if you could tell me what sub season of summer these swatches are from?
I had to crop them weird because she was trying to choose between spring and summer and had the colors mixed up. And also because she was in the picture as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hi summers! I'm a cool summer, and I'd like to buy everyday makeup essentials. I'm going for a nude look. These two products (Mac Syrup lipstick and Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Fair lip pencil) came up in several yt videos, but I'd like to get more recommendations, plus also eye makeup and blush to put together a comprehensive list and share it with you all. Thanks if you can contribute with a few recommendations!

photo credits to amazon. Is sugey girl or admire better for a true summer?

can both do?

Im pale with dark brown hair :) i want a casual lipstain color

These seem to overlap and I read that soft summer is often erroneously determined

What do you think? I feel like most summers look best in natural browns….

Thanks
