Reese Witherspoon is a Light Summer. Her cool-fair skin, soft cool-blonde hair, and light eyes place her in the light, cool, low-contrast band where rose quartz, soft sky, French blue, and dove grey flatter and dark or warm shades feel heavy.

About Reese Witherspoon's colors
Why Reese is a Light Summer.
Reese reads Light Summer: a light, cool, low-contrast colouring where nothing about her face is heavy or dark. Her best colours are the season's soft, watery pastels — rose quartz, lilac, powder blue, sage sorbet — cool but gentle, never saturated. Soft navy and dove grey serve as her darks instead of black, which would overpower her.
Because her hair can pull golden, she's sometimes called a warm Spring, but her skin and eyes read cool — keeping her in Summer. Toned cool, her blonde sits right at home in Light Summer. And she's lighter and softer than a Cool Summer, so the most delicate end of the palette flatters her most.

The 12-season map
Where Reese sits.
Reese Witherspoon's bubble sits in the Summer quadrant — the family of colors that wear her best. The closer a color sits to her, the better it reads on her face.
What this means.

Borrow neighbours
Light Spring and Cool Summer sit either side. Their picks cross over safely.
Skip the opposite

The read · Undertone
