Choosing make–up can feel overwhelming — with endless shades, undertones, and finishes, it’s tough to know what truly suits you. Warm or cool? Soft or vibrant? The good news: you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Below, you’ll find a simple, curated guide to make–up shades that enhance each of the four seasonal colour palettes. These picks are designed to complement your natural colouring so you can look (and feel) your best with make–up that we personally use and love.
Spring Warm & Clear
Spring palettes are known for their warm (golden or ivory) undertones paired with a subtle cool overtone. Their eyes are typically clear, vibrant, and lively, creating a beautiful high contrast with their skin.
Best make–up shades for Spring
To harmonise with their warm undertones, Springs glow in warm, fresh, bright shades.
Cheeks & Lips: warm pinks, peaches, corals
Eyes: golden browns, apricots, warm greens
Overall vibe: bright, warm–based colours (never muted)
These tones amplify the natural radiance and youthful brightness of the Spring palette.
Autumn Warm & Deep
Autumn palettes feature rich, warm golden undertones with no cool overtones. Their eye colours are often deep, muted, and earthy, resulting in a soft low–contrast appearance.
Best make–up shades for Autumn
Autumns shine in earthy, rich, warm tones.
Cheeks & Lips: brick reds, terracotta, warm nudes, salmon
Eyes: olive, bronze, copper, deep gold
Overall vibe: muted, earthy colours inspired by autumn foliage
These shades enhance the depth and richness that naturally define the Autumn palette.
Winter Cool & Clear
Winter palettes have cool (blue or pink) undertones with absolutely no warm overtones. Many Winters have bright, icy, or very dark eyes, creating striking contrast against their complexion.
Best make–up shades for Winter
Winters look incredible in cool, bold, high–contrast colours.
Cheeks & Lips: blue–based reds, berry, fuchsia
Eyes: charcoal, icy blue, plum, true black
Overall vibe: vivid, crisp, cool tones
Cool, saturated shades bring out the dramatic clarity and contrast that Winters wear best.
Summer Cool & Softly Bright
Summer palettes have a cool (blue/pink) undertone with a subtle warm overtone, giving their appearance a soft, blended, and slightly dusty look. Their eyes tend to be pretty, gentle, and subtly bright, resulting in a low–contrast complexion.
Best make–up shades for Summer
Summers look most harmonious in cool, dusty, soft tones.
Cheeks & Lips: rose, mauve, dusty pink, soft berry
Eyes: cool taupe, lavender, muted plum, soft grey
Overall vibe: powdery or water colour like hues (avoid bold or warm colours)
These shades enhance the Summer palette’s delicate, romantic colouring.
Understanding your season instantly simplifies your make–up routine. Whether you’re a bright Spring, earthy Autumn, dramatic Winter, or soft Summer, choosing shades that align with your natural undertones means your look will always feel flawless and flattering.
