Makeup for Light Spring

The same logic, applied to makeup.

Lips

Sheer warm corals and peachy pinks look fresher on Light Spring coloring than deep or vampy shades.

Blush

A soft peach or warm apricot blush lifts the skin without overpowering it.

Eyes

Light warm browns, champagne, and soft gold brighten the eyes. Warm brown liner replaces harsh black.
