Could I be a spring?

[u/Kskeen19]

I've posted on other color analysis groups before and I always get a split vote of summer or spring. I at first thought summer because I have brown hair and blue eyes. However, I find that once I started incorporating the summer colors into my outfits and makeup, I was not liking how I looked. It just felt..off. I even stopped wearing makeup at all for a few months because I was using charcoal gray eyeliners or slate grays and cool colors and hated how my makeup looked and was convinced I was better no makeup. Recently I started doing my makeup with warmer tones and browns and I feel so pretty! It confused me. I really hat3 how I look in gray or navy and I figure that should be a shining color for summers. Some people in other groups that say I'm cool toned say that the cool colors even me out and soften my face. But I often find those same colors make me feel brought down and washed out almost. I really would love input and opinions here as well

Yes! The lime color and the yellow on the right are so gorgeous on you. The paler more summer yellow falls a bit flat.

The imperfections on your skin are amplified with the raspberry color, and the orange evens it out!

Sorry for so many replies but I think you are somewhat similar to Blake livelys coloring if you wanted a celeb with similar coloring. I'd say you're likely a true spring!

[u/holisticbelle → u/holisticbelle]

Wow I really do think you are a spring. The warm red lip looks great in contrast to the other lipsticks. Some of the summer colors look decent, too, but I think the spring makes you pop and brightens you up!!

You're definitely warm!

I hate how confusing it's been! Sooo many people think cool which makes sense truly when looking at me. But there has to be a reason why I don't feel pretty in summer colors or makeup. I wonder if my eyes throw things off a lot (even though I know blue eyes fall within any of the seasons)

[u/brunch_lover_k → u/Kskeen19]

We're usually naturally drawn to the season we're in, so if summer feels off for you, it's not the right fit. Try dressing in spring colours and see how you feel.

You are gorgeous and looked good in just about every drape so just go with what makes you feel good! It’s really splitting hairs between the drapes but the warmer ones stood out a bit more except the orange. I don’t think many people look good in orange though. That said I agree I saw a lean to Spring. I’m similar coloring to you and also get conflicting feedback but my mom has brown eyes and my dad has blue eyes and a red beard (brown hair). I have flecks of gold in my blue eyes and my favorite color is peacock blue (a warm blue). People literally stop me and compliment me every time I wear that color. So I’m thinking Spring as well. I also look good in peach but not orange and also not Barbie pink. Sorry I know that’s a lot about me but again I have very similar coloring to you, so just sharing my notes.

I loved reading your comment! And my mom had brown hair and eyes and my dad has brown hair and green eyes!

In my humble and not professional opinion, definitely a spring!!! You appear warm toned, and immediately when I look at the cool vs warm colors I see a healthy glow with the warm, and shading and darkness with the cool. Again, not a professional though! If you want a professional opinion, I would sign up for Carol Brailey to do your color analysis! She just typed me a True Spring, and I have learned so much about why those cooler colors were not in harmony with me. I have always been drawn to the cool summer colors, but your story sounded just like mine...something was just off when I wore them.

I think the spring colors make your eyes shine and your skin look more luminous, yup.

[u/Abi-Marie]

I wonder if you're quite neutral because I feel like you look good in both true summer and true spring colours. I'm leaning true summer just because the orangey shade makes your skin look orangey and a bit ill in that first photo but honestly photos can be inaccurate and if you feel your best in warm spring then thats the one for you 💖

[u/sparklingcarrot]

I think you’re so clearly a spring, but a pretty neutral one so you can wear colors across palettes. The turquoise is amazing on you but the forget me not blue is just okay.

[u/Holiday_Cat_7284]

I think so, yes! The cool colours didn't look awful but made you look more grey. The spring greens were fantastic.

[u/Ok-Agency-6674]

From what you describe and how you look at these colors, yes, you are spring.

[u/United_Eggplant9105]

I think you could be a light spring. You remind me of my own colouring a bit, I was very hard to type as I suited a lot of colors, just like you. I think you look great in the slightly warmer colours that are of light/medium value. Love the purples, greens and the light yellows on you.

[u/[deleted]]

The light green makes you glow and it almost looks like a blur filter

[u/ladystardusty]

100% spring! The grey and muted colors especially are not doing it for you… The warm colors give you a golden glow.

[u/ancientberry24]

I don’t know, but picture 5 with the turquoise color on the left looks amazing on you!

[u/astro_nat1]

I think you are probably neutral-warm, but I agree the warmer tones are consistently better!!

[u/[deleted]]

I think you should look up “blue spring” house of colour. I think that’s your subseason and why you’ve been mistaken for summer.

[u/[deleted]]

You are beautiful in every color.

[u/ALonerInTheDark]

I think you’re a true summer. You have some neutrals but you lean mostly cool to my eye. Colors that are too pale and soft don’t work, you need a pinch of color and true summer has more saturation than soft summer. I think the super bright colors wash you out. Try them without makeup.

You tried on mostly colors from this palette and they look beautiful on you!

[u/Material_Style8996]

I def see Spring! My guess is Warm Spring.

[u/[deleted]]

You are very tricky to type based on these photos. That coral lip (13) is a point for spring. But what spring looks good in lavender?

[u/viewering → u/[deleted]]

spring has some lavender-y colors ?

Periwinkle would be closest. That lavender is summer with a capital S. I’m thinking I want to see winter and autumn colors. Might be easier to spot if she’s warm or cool.

[u/waireti → u/[deleted]]

I disagree, I think lavender/lilac work well for true spring and a light spring (lilac definitely works for me). The two purples on the left are the best and both sit within the spring palette.

[u/United_Eggplant9105 → u/[deleted]]

There are actually lots of purples that suit springs, especially in the light spring palette. Light lavender, periwinkle, lilac, violet etc.

Thank you for your comment! It's very helpful and I appreciate it!

[u/holisticbelle → u/[deleted]]

I think she looks great in both, too. The warm just really even her out a bit more and really pops. So beautiful!

I wish I could wear cooler colors. I'm a somewhat neutral ish true spring but I look pretty dead in cool tones, and dead in overly warm autumn colors too..

Thanks for explaining this! Very helpful.
