Frequently asked
What lipstick suits a Light Spring?
coral pink (#F58C7A), peach nude (#E8836F) and warm rose (#F09BA8). If you buy one, make it coral pink — it is the shade that does the most work with the least effort for this season.
What blush should a Light Spring use?
peach, apricot pink and warm nude. The test for blush is simple: it should look like the colour your own face goes when you have been walking in cold air. Anything more saturated than that reads as makeup rather than as you.
What eyeshadow colours work for a Light Spring?
golden beige, soft moss and light sky. These sit close enough to the palette to harmonise while still giving definition. This season can carry more shimmer and higher pigment than most.
What foundation undertone should a Light Spring look for?
Look for warm or golden in the shade name. Test along the jaw in daylight, never under shop lighting, and check it again after ten minutes — foundation oxidises and often shifts warmer than it looked in the bottle.
