Of course we tan very easy. Another good reason to stay out of the sun. Thanks Both my son and I have milky white complexions but when we tan it looks kind of dirty brownish orange.

That mauve-greyness in the hair and skin undertone are completely necessary to see the milk&roses perfection of True Summer skin. Tans, which are always yellowish brown as the skin deposits more melanin, don't look nearly as good on the pure cool Seasons as on an Autumn or Spring. Even the Neutrals of the pure cool Seasons (the other 2 Summers and Winters) are not at their sharpest best (for the Winters) or healthiest (for the Summers). Yes, Michelle.

I think on one of your sites you wrote that tanning for a true winter could kind of mess up their coloring. Is the same thing true for true summers? Thanks. Hi.

If we were to get into the actual compositions, I am not certain if there would be more blue pigment by proportion, but there certainly is more red and black in Winter's colors, so they appear 'more purple'. Now, if you meant "Does Winter have more purples to choose from?", then yes. Winter has many, many purples. Summer has more blues and just a few purples. Plum Wave is a good example of a product that might suit a darker True Summer or a True Winter that's not looking for a big color hit. It is certainly blue enough for Winter.

Is that true of the palette in general, or is it coincidence? Is it just me, or are the True Summer colors less purple than the True Winter?

I've finally found the right eyeshadow, blush, liner, and mascara for me. I'm still on the search for the right lip colour though. Is there any particular lip gloss you could recommend for a True Summer? Thanks for all this! I’ve finally found the right eyeshadow, blush, liner, and mascara for me.
