Frequently asked questions
Is Golden Coral too warm for cooler Spring sub-seasons?
Blue Springs and Pastel Springs may find Golden Coral slightly heavy. It shines brightest on Golden and Paint Box Springs who have the warmth and saturation to match its golden base. Cooler Springs should consider Coral Pop instead.
Can Golden Coral double as a cream blush?
Yes. Golden Coral's creamy, warm tone works beautifully dabbed onto the cheeks and blended with a fingertip. This creates a monochromatic warmth across the face that is very flattering for Spring palettes.
