What foundation undertone should a Light Summer look for?
Rosy or neutral undertone; keep coverage airy.
Light Summer coloring is cool (pink/blue-based), light in depth, and moderately clear. Foundation is the one product where getting the undertone wrong is visible from across a room, so test it on your jaw in daylight and look for the shade that disappears rather than the one that matches the back of your hand.

Light Summer makeup: common questions
What is the most flattering lipstick shade for a Light Summer?
Watery Rose (#DE8FA8) — it is the most pigmented lip-range color in the Light Summer palette, which is why it is the one shade to buy first. The wider direction from the Light Summer report is cool rose, soft berry and pink nude — sheer and fresh.
Can a Light Summer wear a nude lip?
Yes, and the Light Summer version of nude is Petal Pink (#F5CCD9) — the lightest, least pigmented color in the palette's lip range. A nude borrowed from a different season is what reads as "wrong shade of concealer" rather than nude.
Should a Light Summer wear bronzer or gold-toned shimmer?
Light Summer metals are silver, and shimmer follows the same rule as jewelry. Lead with silver-toned product; yellow gold, brass and copper near the face.
Does a Light Summer suit a bold lip or a soft one?
Light Summer coloring is moderately clear, so the palette answers this directly: 3 of its colors carry enough pigment for a statement lip and 2 sit soft enough for a wash. Cool pink with a satin finish is the everyday setting.
