The Soft Summer Make-Up Guide

Soft Summer makeup is all about embracing soft, cool hues that naturally enhance your beauty. Discover our curated selection of clean, everyday makeup perfect for you. Plus, explore inspiring examples of Soft Summers wearing these beautiful shades below!

Blush.

Blush shades that complement a soft summer complexion include dusty pink, soft rose, and mauve. My top recommendation is the ILIA Multi-stick in At Last, perfect for both cheeks and lips.

Lip Colors.

There are so many gorgeous lip balms, lipsticks, and lip oils available in your Soft Summer colors! Look for shades that flatter your coloring, like mauve, soft rose, and a soft plum. One of my top recommendations is the Summer Friday lip oil in ‘Soft Mauve’.

Eye Shadow.

Soft Summer eye shadow palettes that complement your soft and cool complexion include: soft white, light pinks, taupe, and champagne. You want to keep your eyes ‘soft and light” so avoid darker colors on your eyes.

Mascara

You’ll want to go with a brown or brown/black mascara. Black can appear too harsh against your complexion, creating a softer and more flattering effect. My top recommendation for a brown/black mascara is from the clean brand, Thrive Causemetics.
