Makeup for a Warm Spring.

Warm Spring makeup follows the same rule as your wardrobe: shades that match your warm undertone flatter you, while shades that fight it look harsh or muddy. Your most flattering lips are coral and warm peach; your foundation should sit on a warm / golden base; and your natural metal is gold or bronze. Here are the exact lip, blush and metal shades — with hex codes — plus how to choose foundation and what to skip.

Lips

Blush

Foundation & concealer

Choose a warm / golden undertone and match it to your jaw in natural daylight — not the back of your hand, which is often a different shade. If your foundation looks grey or ashy by midday, the undertone is wrong for you. Keep concealer one shade lighter in the same undertone.

Metals & finish

Gold or bronze jewellery and warm-vs-cool-matched hardware pull your makeup look together. For eyes, stay within your palette’s medium-light neutrals and accents rather than reaching for colours far cooler or warmer than your natural colouring.

What to skip

Avoid lip and cheek shades in the opposite temperature to your undertone — they’re the ones that make you look tired. For the complete picture (full palette, wardrobe and the colours to avoid), see your Warm Spring guide, or find your season first with the free quiz.
