The Light Spring palette — Warm, airy, fresh. See the full season
Light Spring makeup is warm, fresh and clear — but still light.
This is the season where peach-pink, watermelon, light coral and warm rosy shades can look effortless.
The biggest mistake is assuming Spring automatically means orange.
Light Spring usually needs warmth without heaviness.
What to look for
For lips, try peach-pink, light coral, warm pink, watermelon and sheer warm red.
For cheeks, look for fresh peach, peach-pink and light warm coral.
For eyes, consider champagne, light warm taupe, soft gold, peach-beige and warm light brown.
The Good Measure rule
Keep the warmth. Lose the weight.
A beautiful Light Spring shade should make the face look brighter and fresher rather than heavily made up.
