Quick Answer
The best blush for Light Spring sits in the peach, clay and terracotta range. Light Spring is warm-toned — gold and peach sit underneath — and runs light in value and clear in saturation, so a shade matching all three reads as part of the face rather than as product sitting on top of it. Avoid dark, cool or dusty shades; against this colouring the wrong direction reads as a bruise or as windburn rather than a flush. Every pick below was scored against its measured hex value, not its shade name.
These four words decide every pick on this page, and they are used loosely almost everywhere else. Here is what each one means precisely.
Undertone. The colour sitting underneath skin, hair and eyes, constant regardless of tan or makeup. Light Spring is warm: gold and peach sit underneath. This decides whether a blush flatters or fights the face.
Value. How light or dark a colour is, measured independently of what colour it is. Light Spring sits light in value, which is why shades far outside that range read as borrowed from someone else.
Chroma. How pure or saturated a colour is. High chroma is clear and vivid; low chroma is greyed or dusty. Light Spring is clear, and this is the dimension most shade guides skip entirely.
Contrast. The distance between the lightest and darkest features. Light Spring is low contrast, which sets how much pigment a blush needs before it registers at all.

Your coloring pulls warm, clear and vivid shades. When blush matches that profile, your skin looks more even, your eyes look brighter, and the overall effect is pulled-together instead of painted-on. The picks above sit in that sweet spot — they work WITH your palette instead of fighting it.
Skip dark, heavy shades like oxblood and deep plum — they overpower light coloring. Avoid cool blue-based pinks and anything matte-dark. Frosty silvers also fight the warm, fresh look.
