Spring Pastels.


Unlike coral that can be equally a Summer shade as it is a Spring one, pastels will always be Spring shades, in my mind. Lilacs and baby pinks are the perfect transitional colors from Winter's plums and reds to Summer's brights. They offer a touch of soft color that is lovely on pre-Summer skin that has not yet seen much sun.

Usually when I wear pale, pastel-like shades, I stick to the safe lavenders and pinks and avoid the minty greens and sky blues out of fear of the unknown, although I have to admit, this new cream pigment from Illamasqua is awfully tempting...
It's from their upcoming Toxic Nature collection and it's in the shade Bedaub. Gorge!

What's your take on pastel makeup for Spring?
