1. Features – Light & Warm

As a Light Spring, lightness and warmth characterize your appearance. Warm colors complement you best, and when you look in the mirror, lightness is the first thing that catches your eye.

There are no dark areas anywhere, and you'll notice minimal contrast between your features, with your skin, eyes, and hair all sharing a lightness.

With warmer undertones, gold tends to suit you better than silver, adding to the overall warmth of your appearance.

 

1.1 Eyes

Your eyes shine with a lightness that reflects their bright and warm undertones, often accompanied by a sunburst pattern on the iris.

Typical colors include light blue, green, hazel, and light brown, all in warm shades.

 

1.2 Hair

Your hair includes light to medium blonde, light red (like strawberry blonde or light copper), and light golden brown shades, all with a warm, golden glow.

Some may have had fair hair as children, while those with darker ethnicities may exhibit a lighter brown shade.

 

1.3 Skin

Your skin has neutral or neutral-warm undertones, so you can choose from a variety of metals, but gold tends to suit you best.

You may have golden or peachy undertones and freckles. Ranging from fair to medium, your skin exudes a lightness that enhances your overall warmth.

In the case of Wallis Annabelle, her skin is light with neutral undertones.

 

1.4 Contrast

As a Light Spring, you exhibit low contrast between your skin, eyes, and hair. This minimal contrast extends even to the whites of your eyes and the iris.

In the image above, you'll notice an absence of dark areas across your features.

2. Color dimensions

On the hue scale, your colors lean more towards yellow than blue undertones, positioning them towards the warmer end of the spectrum without being overly warm.

As a result, you may notice fewer shades of blue in your palette since blue is the coolest color.

However, any blues present will have a hint of yellow, giving them a warmer and lighter appearance.

Given your primary characteristic of lightness, your colors tend to have low value overall. This means your palette predominantly features light colors, with only a few medium ones present to complement and support the lighter shades.

 

3. Color Palette

As a Light Spring, your palette boasts the lightest shades among the Spring seasons, blending lightness with warmth. Your features exude warmth and lightness, with minimal contrast between your eyes, skin, and hair.

True to your season's aspect, your palette leans towards lightness, favoring gentle pastel hues. This evokes freshness, warmth, and a touch of softness, akin to the gentle pastel colors of candy.

Within the Spring family, your palette is bright, colorful, and medium-saturated, featuring predominantly warm tones such as pinks and grass greens, with less intensity and saturation compared to the standard Spring palette.

 

3.1 Best Colors

Some fabulous color choices include:

Some other great colors for you are light aqua, buttermilk, light grey, camel, peach, ivory and khaki. Your best neutrals are light yellows and greens instead of whites.

On the darkest side, you have lots of other darker neutrals - medium-dark browns and some shades of greenish greys.

3.2 Worst Colors

Your worst colors are cool and dark. You should avoid black and white because they will make you look shallow.

Also, avoid deep purples and cold blues - they will overwhelm your appearance. Too saturated or too bright color as burnt orange will make you look pale.

4. Metals & Accessories

As Light Spring transitions from the warmth of Spring to the coolness of Summer, you have the flexibility to embrace both warm and cool-toned metals.

However, gold remains the reliable choice. The key consideration is to opt for metals that complement your delicate coloring, favoring lighter tones over deep and rich ones.

When it comes to finishes, you have options such as shiny, brushed, or matte.

Avoid antiqued or oxidized finishes that darken the metals excessively, as they won't harmonize with your light and airy appearance

 

5. Color Combinations

You can combine any of the colors on the Light Spring palette with each other, but some combinations will look much better. Those combinations are found in your natural appearance.

As a Light Spring, you have the lowest contrast out of the three Spring seasons.

You need vibrancy, low contrast and playful color combinations to make you sparkle.

You have a delicate appearance, but you are not blended or muted.

To achieve a playful look, you can combine colors that sit far from each other on the color wheel such as orange and blue. Or you can use colors that have neighbouring hues like yellow and green.

6. Prints

6.1 Colors

The best patterns for you are those that have light and warm colors in them.

If a pattern doesn’t have too much color from other palettes, you can still wear them, but if it contains too much of a disharmonious color, try to avoid this pattern.

6.2 Contrast

Since your coloring has little contrast, try choosing patterns that have low contrast level too, rather than one which are too bold.

In the following example, both prints are wearable, but the first one is more flattering because it has lower contrast, as your natural features.

6.3 Pattern arrangements

Try to avoid too small or too big elements, square geometric patterns. Instead, go for creative rounded shapes.

Elements should be small and dense. Flowers, butterflies and birds - all natural elements will look good on you, but be sure they are delicate.

7. Makeup

Light Spring color palette combines lightness with warmth. Your colors are light, neutral-warm quite bright.

The best make-up for you is fresh and colorful. Your natural features are light and the contrast between them is low. So, you need to repeat that in your make-up. You have a delicate appearance, but a fresh glow too.

To achieve this glow, you need color. You will find fresh but delicate shades in your palette.

 

7.1 Foundation & concealer

Your skin is light with golden undertones, so your foundation and concealer should be a yellow-based one. Foundation and concealer must be matched to your individual skin.

Avoid foundations with cool, blue-based or pink undertones as well as matte and dry finishes. Instead, choose creamy, natural, lightweight textures with little coverage and a dewy finish.

 

7.2 Bronzer & contouring

For bronzers and contouring, make sure you choose a lighter one with a peachy tone. Look for peachy and golden colors and make sure your makeup is yellow based.

Because of your light complexion, you can't handle dark colors. Still, you can wear a slightly browner color if your skin leans more towards tan.

Just a light application of bronzer is enough, so don't over-apply it.

 

7.3 Blush Palette

For your blush palette, you have yellow-based shades from peachy pinks and coral area.

Avoid matte finishes and opt for a slight shimmer. Your makeup should be light, shiny, and colorful but make sure you don't use too much of it.

 

7.4 Lipstick

As for your lipstick, you may need trial and error until you find the perfect one. The warm pinks will make your lips pop out more than coral pinks, peaches or apricots.

You can go with glossy lipsticks over matte finishes. Make-up should be creamy, sheer rather than dark, overly bright, muted ones.

 

8. Eye makeup

8.1 Eyeshadows

Your eye make-up colors are taken from the neutral area of your palette. The exceptions are your eyeshadows which come from the lightest complementary and accent colors.

To make your eyes pop out, choose gentle pastels with yellow undertones as well as colorful pinks, peaches, greens or blues.

As textures, the best for you are creamy sheer ones with pure pigments. Avoid bright colors with blue undertones.

 

8.2 Mascara

Usual black mascara is not the best option for you due to the lightness of your skin tone. It can appear aggressive against your light complexion.

Your best mascara comes in a variety of shades of brown and grey, which are lighter than black.

 

8.3 Eyeliner

Eyeliner colors are similar to your mascara, but don’t be afraid to also use some colorful options.

To make your eyes pop, you can choose an eyeliner which is similar to your eye color. And once again, avoid black because it is a cool color. Your darkest colors are spicy mix and granite grey.
