One of the surest signs that spring is approaching is the onslaught of pastels. Usually the softer shades of pink, purple, blue, yellow and even peach are found in the clothing department. Don't think of the hues in such narrow terms, however. They actually make for great makeup, too. Which is why we've done the shopping for you by compiling the top pastel makeup of the season.

From everything to make eyes pop to cheek enhancers like luminizer and blush, there are plenty of great options out there. Be super selective and just focus on one category or go for an array by combining eyeshadow with eyeliner and mascara. Feeling exceptionally brave? Include blush and highlighter. You can also rock several of the hues at once. Like pairing a few or all of the versions of Stila's Stay All Day Muted-Neon Liquid Eye Liner in one look.

Keep reading to bulk up your pastel makeup collection in anticipation of spring and all of its seasonal glory.
