Keep in mind, a consistent theme you’ll see for all of these colors is light and warm.
Light Spring Eye Makeup
You can create endless light spring makeup looks. In this case, we’re showcasing our favorite spring color combinations based on the unique features of this color type.
- Light blue eyes and light golden blonde hair- We like to emphasize the beautiful golden tones of this color season by using golden shadow and liner. This really makes the light blue pop without overwhelming your light complexion.
- Green blue eyes and strawberry blonde hair – This neutral grayish green shadow blends well with blue green eyes and strawberry tones in the brows. We used a medium gray liner to create a softer look that doesn’t overpower your natural coloring.
- Yellow-green eyes and light copper hair- Both the hair and eye color are very warm toned. Gold looks great with warm tones and that’s especially true with golden eye shadows.
- Hazel eyes and light golden brown hair– Both brows and eyes have beautiful brown tones. We added brown shadow, liner, and mascara to emphasize this stunning warm natural blend.
Eye Shadow
The light spring makeup colors can sure create a gorgeous eye shadow palette. (In fact, you’ll find these tones in almost every spring eye makeup palette.)
You have a wide variety of light and warm options. When it comes to choosing eye shadows look for warm tones like golden browns, oranges, and greens.
The light spring season is dominantly light and warm and this is the same for the eye shadow colors. Avoid cooler tones like rich silvers and blues.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner colors for light spring range from beautiful light neutrals to medium and darker fashion greens and corals.
Again, the consistent trend here is light and warm. Avoid cool and dark tones.
Mascara
With light being your dominant feature, you want to avoid stark dark colors. This is especially true with mascara.
Instead do toned down brown and charcoal tinted mascara if you are wanting to create a beautiful blend.
However, that doesn’t mean you can’t wear black mascara. It just means your black mascara may draw attention away from your beautiful natural colors instead of adding to them.
Brow Filler Colors
Your eyebrow pencil should match your natural hair color. Unfortunately, this sometimes mean you might need to mix and match a few shades to get that perfect shade.
The color listed on the brow filler should be labeled light or medium and should have warm or neutral undertones.. For example light golden blonde or light brown.
Light Spring Makeup Colors for Face
Your natural skin tones will be an easy guide to help you find the perfect foundation and blush colors.
Light springs have neutral warm, and neutral skin undertones. This means you’ll want to look for and NW or N on bottles for face makeup.
Foundation
When a makeup artist color tests you for foundation, one thing they look for is undertone. When color testing a light spring, your undertone may be a little more difficult to spot if you are a neutral.
Foundation bottles almost always have undertones clearly marked on the bottle. If you’re a light spring, you should look for the NW and N on the bottle. (Usually on the bottom.)
Blush
When choosing blush colors, you’ll again want to look for colors you would describe as lighter and warmer.
You’ll also want to gravitate toward warmer shades like golden corals and warm or neutral pinks. Since you are light, you won’t need to use much blush. Apply lightly to start and build to your perfect shade. Avoid plums and extremely dark shades.
Light Spring Lipstick
The best lipstick color for the light spring color season is going to have lighter warm tones.
Colors like nude corals, warm pinks, and warm reds.
Avoid very dark colors with cool tones like dark magentas and cool reds.
