1. Features – Light & Warm

As a Light Spring, your overall look is defined by lightness and warmth. Warm colors are the most flattering for you. When you look in the mirror, the first thing you’ll notice is the brightness and harmony in your features.

  • Minimal Contrast: Your skin, eyes, and hair share a light and warm tone, blending softly.

  • Warm Undertones: Gold suits you better than silver, enhancing your natural warmth.
