The Light Summer blush formula
A reliable blush formula for Light Summer balances undertone, saturation, finish, and how it interacts with the rest of your makeup. The shade should support your cool pink-beige undertone and repeat the same color temperature as the rest of your palette.
If a shade looks almost right but slightly disconnected, check the finish first. Light Summer usually looks best with satin or cream; a finish that is too flat, too glittery, too heavy, or too glossy can make the color read wrong even when the undertone is close.
