While there's still a bit of crispness in the springtime air, makeup artist Bobbi Brown reaches for light, babydoll pink makeup. "A very wearable pink, a shimmer, glittery pink," she describes.

The faded colors should remind you of that favorite T-shirt that used to be a sunny yellow and is now more like French vanilla, or an evergreen sweatshirt turned more of a palm-leaf shade.

When translated into makeup, Brown says, the result often is a see-through or sheer look, which can be worn on the eyes, lips and cheeks. One of her favorite combinations is iris with white and gold on the eyes, transparent cream rouge in pink or coral on the cheek and a light lip stain or gloss.

Joe Costa, national makeup artist for Yves Saint Laurent, says he's seen many women drawn to peach and pinks so far this season. But, he adds, they're also doing a bit of experimenting with brighter colors on their eyes. "Women aren't afraid to put a little splash of color on the eyes as the accent. They're real intrigued by orange and a little bit of green and blue."

If you're preparing a daytime look, Costa suggests covering the entire eyelid with a light green, using a dark green shadow liner along the upper lash line and then a little bit of blue on top of that using a tapered-edge sponge applicator. He calls it "a taffeta affect," a rich but not blaring use of blue.

If you're going out in the evening, use the blue over the entire lashline on the top and the bottom, with a warm, soft pink on the cheek and a coppery lip color.
