SPRING MAKEUP LOOKS & TUTORIALS

The tones and hues of spring makeup

Spring weather can be unpredictable, with some days warm and sunny while others come with a drizzle of rain to help flowers blossom. With that comes a variety of hues and colours, all of which can help create a spring inspired makeup look.

The tones of spring can be broken down into warm or cool, depending on if you have more yellow or pink undertones in your skin. The third option is neutral - those with this undertone will find that most colours pop against your skin. If you have a yellow undertone, opt for a warm spring colour palette including warm greens, soft oranges and reds, yellow, peachy pink, coral, aqua and teals. If you have a pink undertone, cool colours will compliment your complexion. Think pale pink, melon, powder blue, light navy, purple, periwinkle, lime green, true red and pale yellows.

With a bit of overlap in these colours, it is all about experimenting with what works for your complexion and finding the spring makeup look that suits your own style and look. Feel free to mix and match, no matter your undertone.
