Why these work on True Summer

Your coloring pulls cool, soft and muted shades. When lip gloss matches that profile, your skin looks more even, your eyes look brighter, and the overall effect is pulled-together instead of painted-on. The picks above sit in that sweet spot — they work WITH your palette instead of fighting it.

What to avoid

Skip warm oranges, bright corals, and golden nudes — they clash with your cool undertone. Anything too bright or too warm will look off.
