Pretty much the same as yours Christine. I avoid dark colours.and go for golds,pinks, blues, greens etc.
I use more peach, pink, pale grey or lighter brown, pastel colours instead
and I use brown liners more often then black in summer too.
my favorite combination so far is from Guerlain Summer Palette. gold peach, pink, brown and white..with brown liners. this palette is really my favorite now. I don’t find brown shade very easy to blend but the colour combinations are really pretty on my tan yellow /oilve skin.

Pinks, golds, and bronzes! Not so much blues and greens as eyeshadow but I like doing blue and green eyeliner.
Peachy pinks, taupes, beiges. I’ll occasionally go or brighter colors, but I like gentler makeup overall for summer.
Beachy and simple: Sephora brand mono eyshadow in Hawaiian Beach, a gorgeous light/warm golden taupe with a refined shimmer. I’d put this up against any eyeshadow on the market, it’s fantastic.

@andreakremer Those shadows are actually really good, and such a range of colors, too!
 @xamyx  @andreakremer They’re the best-kept secret in makeup!

@andreakremer I bought a few of the quads/quints, as well as a few of the “blockbuster” kits, and they were mediocre, so I never bothered with the singles. Then I received a VIB birthday gift, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I had heard they improved the formula, and after trying the Kat von D palettes, I took a chance on the singles. I have about 9, but I’m looking to get more, although the most recent blockbuster palettes have been good too, and I have 3 of those.
 @andreakremer I have that shadow, too!  It is really versatile!
I actually just go with light, neutral shadows, usually with a wash of a lighter shade, and a darker one in the crease. Again, we don’t have “seasons” in Los Angeles in the traditional sense, so as the weather gets hotter, I just keep my makeup simple to avoid smudges, fading, etc. The weather has been pretty nice lately, so I’ve been using my typical darker shades.
peachy colors, I think they help my blue eyes pop while keeping it light and summery! I also love a shimmery peach 😉
I love whipping out my MAC Blue Peep fluidline 🙂
I like the warm sunset look: Â orange, coral, yellow. Â I also like to do a tropic theme using yellows and greens. Â And sometimes I gravitate towards aquatic shades of turquoise and green.
I dig the chartreuse and teal, too! I particularly love Tarina Tarantino’s Tokyo Hardcore for chartreuse. A shame it was limited. I’ve been thinking lately of doing a summer smoky eye with a warmish brown lid and like a burnt orange or apricot crease.Â
I dont wear eyeshadow during the summer, it gets too messy when it’s humid and 100 degrees outside. I am good with mascara and a nice cream blush.
All that Glitters on the lid, Buck in the crease, and Smog on the outer V….I get so may compliments on that look!
I absolutely love doing teals, greens, blues, and purples. They’re all pretty bright bold colours that I feel a little uncomfortable wearing in freezing temperatures in the winter.Â
Peachy-pink with gold or bronze and a pop of blue eyeliner.
i love bold blues and purples with a hint of shimmer sliver or i go neutral with browns, whites etc either way i love it 🙂
Pink, plum and white gold!
orange and brown in different textures and shades . it is nice with blue eyes !
I agree with sunset eyes. I also love lime green in the summer. It’s the one color that I really don’t wear during the fall and winter seasons;
MAC Passionate or Electric Eel in the corner with a neutral lid, and MAC Soft Brown in the crease.
peach and teal!
I love a gorgeous green and gold and I love purples and lilacs

I like the orange shades but I almost always come back to cover girl’s shimmery sands palette esp when I’m tan. The pink highlight shade is just sooo pretty on tan skin!!!
Either a shimmery neutral look that’ll catch the eye in the sun if I’m wearing a bright lip, or peaches, corals, and bronzes on the lid. I should try branching out into some brighter colors!Â
My Naked palette
My Naked palette
Coral and pink 🙂 or rainbow/colorful look ^^
I adore teals, chartreuses, and watery blues/turqoises paired with copper, amber, or coral-y shades.I’m pretty much up for anything that’s ocean or mermaid-esque
I’ve been loving glowy skin with lots of highlighter. Also, intense cobalt eyeliner and corally pink lips!

Loving this season!
I really love Bronze, Taupe and Champagne shadows, especially during the summer when I am wearing a bright lip.
