Light Spring color palette
Also called Light Warm Spring
Light Spring is the most delicate of the warm seasons: light overall, warm or warm-neutral in undertone, with gentle contrast between hair, skin, and eyes.
The palette is a set of warm, sunlit pastels and clear light brights — peach, coral, warm aqua, butter yellow — kept light enough not to overwhelm soft colouring.

Eyeshadow

Keep everything light and warm. Choose peach and coral over berry, warm champagne over silver, and soft brown liner instead of black. Let the eyes or lips lead — not both at once.
