Light Spring ๐ผ
Sunlit, sweet, and lighter than peach sorbet.
Light Spring is sunshine with the dimmer turned down a notch. Your coloring is light and warm-leaning, with a gentle glow rather than heavy contrast. Think golden or strawberry blonde hair, skin that looks peachy or creamy, and eyes in clear blue, aqua, green or soft hazel. You look fresh in colors that are light and a little warm, like apricot, peach and coral pink. Dark, heavy shades tend to sit on top of your face instead of melting in, and icy cool tones can leave you looking washed out. Your sweet spot is makeup that looks like you just came back from a walk in spring air: rosy, bright-eyed and easy.
Best blush for Light Spring
Go for blushes that look like a healthy flush on a warm day: peach, apricot, warm baby pink and light coral. Sheer, buildable formulas are your best friend, since heavy pigment can look stamped on. A satin or soft-glow finish echoes the natural luminosity in your skin, while very matte, chalky powders can flatten it. Tap it high on the apples and blend toward your temples so the color reads as sunshine, not stripes.
Best lip colors for Light Spring
Your lips love light, warm, juicy shades: peachy nudes, coral pink, warm rose and glossy apricot. Tinted balms and glosses look especially good because they keep things fresh and see-through. Skip nudes that lean beige or gray, since they can make your lips disappear. Your best red is a light, warm coral red with a little shine, bright enough to feel like a red but soft enough that it doesn't wear you.
