I haven't found a more comprehensive gallery of real-life True Summers than this one, on elea blake cosmetic studio's Facebook page.
(For those of you who don't know, elea blake cosmetics, in Chattanooga, custom blends makeup to match each of the 12 seasonal palettes. It's awesome. If you know your season, their colors will work for you, period. If all women knew about this option, I honestly don't think other cosmetics companies could stay in business.)
Anyway, Darin Wright of eb cosmetics is a Sci Art-trained color analyst, and on the Facebook page she posts pictures of women she's draped.
If you still think of True Summer as a season of fair-haired white chicks, a quick glance through her True Summer album should correct that misperception. You'll see loads of brunettes. You'll see women with red hair, brown eyes, freckles, and other features that you don't think of when you think of True Summer. You'll see an African-American woman who would surely be mistyped as Deep Something in most other systems.
Here's to really seeing ourselves.
Truth is beauty!
