Bright Spring color palette

Bright and warm

Also called Clear Spring

Bright and warm, like a summer festival in full sun.

Clear eyes, crisp contrast and a warm spark: you can take color at full strength. Pure, juicy colors make you glow; dusty, muted shades look tired on you.

Bright Spring hair and makeup

Hair

Bright Spring hair color is about shine and contrast: glossy chocolate brown, clear auburn or bright golden blonde. Black hair suits a high-gloss finish with fine golden highlights, and gray looks best clean and luminous, with no yellowing. Dusty, mousy or ash tones usually dim the warm spark of this season.

Makeup

Bright Spring makeup can take color at full strength. A clear coral blush goes with poppy, watermelon or coral lips, and camel or chocolate shadow can carry a sharp line of turquoise or emerald. Skip dusty rose, mushroom and khaki, which usually look tired on such clear coloring.

How to wear it

  • Wear your colors close to your face: a top, a scarf, your glasses. Further away, they matter less.
  • Build on your neutrals, then add one or two colors from the palette.
  • Try them in daylight, next to your face: the right ones even out your skin and light up your eyes.

A test can’t see you, so take it as a starting point: try your colors next to your face, in daylight.
