- Blush: peach, apricot or warm pink.
- Lips: peach, coral-pink, warm nude or light coral.
- Eyes: champagne, soft gold, light bronze or warm taupe, with a touch of light aqua, and light brown liner.
- Brows and mascara: a light golden-brown brow, and brown mascara.
Signature look: champagne lids, an apricot cheek, brown mascara and a coral-pink lip.
Light Spring hair color
Light Spring hair should be golden and bright, with no ashy tones.
- Golden blonde: the classic choice.
- Honey blonde: a little deeper and warmer.
- Strawberry blonde: for a reddish tint.
- Light golden brown: with sunny highlights.
Avoid ash platinum, jet black and dark cool brown. Preview warm blondes with the hair color changer.

Light Spring outfits are fresh and clear, with peach and cream at the center.
- Everyday: cream tee, light camel trousers and a peach cardigan.

- Icy cool colors: icy blue, fuchsia and blue-red.

Wear dark colors on the lower half, with a peach or cream near the face.
A light spring shopping list
Start with five items: an ivory knit, a light camel trench, a peach blouse, a light warm navy skirt and a coral-pink top. Add a butter yellow cardigan and aqua accessories for the spring and summer. For makeup, buy a peach blush, a coral-pink lip and a champagne eyeshadow, and you can build most looks from those three. Keep the rest of the bag light and warm.
Color pairings that work for light spring
Pair peach with cream, light coral with ivory, aqua with light camel and butter yellow with warm light grey. These stay fresh and warm, and they keep the contrast soft. For one accent, choose a clear turquoise in small amounts, such as earrings or a scarf, and keep the rest of the outfit close to your light, warm palette.
Light spring makeup, step by step
Start with a light, dewy base and a peach cream blush on the apples of the cheeks. Sweep champagne shadow across the lid, add a little light bronze in the outer corner and curl your lashes before a brown mascara. Finish with a coral-pink lip balm or tint. The whole routine takes five minutes and keeps the glow of the season. Use a gentle highlighter in a warm gold on the cheekbones if you want more shine.
