How to confirm this result
Soft Summer vs Soft Autumn
Compare colours at a similar depth and brightness. Soft Summer should make the face look clearer and more even; if Soft Autumn feels more balanced, temperature, depth or softness may be shifting your result.
- Test colours beside the face in indirect daylight
- Keep makeup and lighting consistent between comparisons
- Judge the skin, eyes and shadows—not the colour alone
- Use the free quiz as guidance, not a medical or identity claim
