FOTD: Summer Berry


Berry toned colours are generally thought of as more appropriate for autumn and winter rather than spring and summer.  I think they're some of the best colours for my skin, though - so I generally try to wear them year round!  My only concession to summer is to wear a lighter, more brightening lip colour.

  1. BEAUTIFUL. And I mean you, not just your makeup. :)

  2. I love your make up - your eyes and skin look so 'soft' the way you've done them and your lips are a beautiful shape. I thought Ming was a more pinky shade, but I haven't seen it in real life.

  3. Thank you both :)

    Ming is quite pink but on me it runs to a more pinky neutral - still quite light, though, it's taken me a while to decide I like it as it's a lot lighter than I'd usually wear. Definitely worth a swatch next time you're near a Chanel counter!
