Colors That Drain Springs

Not every color works for a Spring. Here are the shades to avoid and why:

• Pure black: too harsh against warm, light coloring; creates unflattering contrast
• Cool grays: wash out your skin's warmth and make you look tired
• Dusty or muted tones: muddy your brightness and make you look faded
• Deep burgundy or wine: too heavy for Spring's light, clear energy
• Icy pastels: too cool and clear for Spring's warmth — they belong to cooler seasons

If a color makes your under-eye circles more visible or your skin look sallow, it likely falls into one of these groups.
