With its delicate blend of cool undertones and muted, understated hues, soft summer is a seasonal type that celebrates subtlety. 

With summer temperatures requiring our makeup products to be more lightweight, soft summer makeup requires less coverage than the soft autumn makeup looks. 

Soft summer makeup leans cool and smoky, enhancing gentle, cool-toned coloring, while soft autumn makeup leans warm and earthy, complementing muted warmth.

This palette favors gentle, understated tones that enhance the natural softness of the individual's coloring. The best colors for Soft Summers are muted and cool, such as dusty rose, mauve, slate blue and soft gray.

There are products that you can use to achieve this look, ranging from skin tints and lightweight foundations to lip gloss instead of lip stain. Here are the looks and products to know. 

For a full makeup beat, you might usually use a pencil or powder to fill in your brows. However, a brow gel allows you to use a lightweight product that colors and molds. 

Neutral eyeshadows, and less swipes of them, will help you to achieve a soft summer makeup look. Less coverage, but still a pop of color or shimmer. Go for light browns, soft greens or plum tones. Avoid bright colors.

Since Soft Summers have low contrast and muted coloring, black mascara can often look too harsh. Instead, soft brown, taupe-brown or even gray-brown mascaras enhance the lashes without overpowering the rest of the face.

When we say light concealer, it's less about color and more about coverage. Soft summers require less on our skin since we'll be in the sun more. As a bonus, your product will last longer!

You may not go as far as adding a contour step to your soft summer makeup look. However, you can: as long as it's minimal and still within the natural look bounds. 

Skin tint and tinted moisturizers are more lightweight than your traditional foundation. They may also include more SPF, which protects your skin better, especially on sunny days.

You might opt out of setting powder in an effort to free your pores from an extra step of makeup. And you can totally use the spray instead, but a light powder will help it all melt in. 

The final step of the soft summer makeup look, this will help to seal the deal of your new go-to application style and all of the products used.
