All tones should be cold and slightly muted. For this type of appearance, there is a certain palette of clothes that is suitable for creating fashionable images. Let's look at the main shades.
So, girls of the “Cold Summer” color type need to choose clothes in colors such as yellow, lilac, purple and emerald. These shades are suitable for creating a summer or spring wardrobe. But, if we are talking about autumn and winter, then darker tones should prevail here. For example, dark green and smoky.
When composing your wardrobe and choosing some items of clothing in the store, be sure to attach the model you like to your face and see if its shade suits you or not. If the tone of your face against such a background looks natural, and nothing bothers you, then you can safely purchase this product.

Makeup
Makeup base

In the case of the “Cold Summer” color type, preference should be given to the lightest beige tones, ivory, etc.Too dark or golden tones will emphasize skin imperfections and give you an exhausted look.
Perfectly for summer girls, light-colored BB-cream is suitable as a base. These creams are very easy to apply and refresh the skin.

Girls of this color should not be too zealous with blush. You can only slightly shade the cheekbones with cold and pink tones. Any red, brick and brown shades should be categorically excluded.
Eye makeup
When choosing mascara, keep in mind that it matches the tone of the eyeliner. As for the pencil itself, rich brown, gray or dark blue will look great here. But black eyeliner is best avoided. It is also not recommended to use any type of eyeliner.
Lipstick
Among the preferred shades - the whole palette of pink flowers. Feel free to choose berry, lilac, cherry and other tones of pink. If you prefer to line your lips with a pencil, then try to choose it a tone darker than the lipstick itself.
Hair color
Many representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, who have the “Cold Summer” appearance color type, may be dissatisfied with the hair color that nature has endowed them with. Some consider it too boring, inconspicuous and ordinary.
And, in the end, every woman sometimes comes up with the idea of changing her own image, and in order to slightly change her appearance, many young ladies decide to dye their hair. It is well known that a person is exactly the hair color that he has from birth.But, if you still decide or are forced (for example, in the case of gray hair) to repaint, you should remember one main rule: in no case should you choose shades that are too dark or too warm.
Otherwise, you risk getting several negative consequences of such staining: first of all, your appearance will change dramatically.
