Bright Spring

makeup

Makeup for Bright Spring

The same logic, applied to makeup.

Lips

Clear corals, bright pinks, and true reds match Bright Spring's natural vividness. Skip muted nudes, which gray the coloring out.

Blush

A bright peachy pink applied lightly gives a fresh pop without heaviness.

Eyes

Keep eyes clean and luminous with champagne, bronze, and a crisp defined line. One bright accent shade works beautifully.
