Spring 2026 makeup must-haves

Our wonderful makeup pro, Kelly, loves to share quick tips and makeup bag edits in her express lessons, which are done both here in our SF studio and via video, wherever you are. We asked her to share her must-haves for spring, and they’re so easy and actionable that we’re all adding them to our carts, too. She says, “This season, think watercolors, blue lagoons, pink petals, peach sorbets, and lilac lids.” Check out her quick guide to the season’s musts for all skin tones below.

1. Update your eyes with soft, sheer colors

On lids: Orce Cloud Dimensions Multi-Use Eye & Face Color
- Famous by Association: The unsung hero of spring, a soft wash of lilac
- Orce Sunset in Jaipur: Terracotta meets rosy apricot for a perfect wash of warm, sheer color on lids
Application tip: Pat it on lids with the index finger, then fan out to diffuse with the Eye of Horus Vegan Shadow brush

To line: Kosas Soulgazer Intensifying Gel Eyeliner
- Cosmic: A deep aqua satin that is a softer, intriguing alternative to black
- Mesmerize: Matte lilac that is perfect for creating a soft, pastel eye

2. Put a fresh pop of color on your cheeks for brightness

- Olio E Osso Tinted Balm in No. 9, Spring: Never mind the name, it’s the perfect shade for the season for cool-toned beauties
- M Picaut Genious Beauty Tint in Coral: Warm-toned beauties, this is the real pop of peach you will thank me for later

3. Pull it all together with a new shade on lips, listed from bold to soft

- Manasi 7 Tinted Beauty Potion in Azalea: Guava meets poppy in this new shade, the bold statement lip of the season
- Macrene Actives Chria Tinted Lip Filler in Pink: This soft petal pink feels minty on in the best possible way, and it’s perfect paired with Famous by Association on eyes
- Twelve Beauty Tint & Glow: Happy Nuance is a mid-tone pink that gives a softly radiant finish to lips
