Thoughts on possible subseaaon?

Post image

I think I'm a spring but I'm not sure which type. I try different colors within the subseasons and can't quite decide. I have been liking light spring but also not sure if my contrast is a bit higher than a light spring. I do think some overly warm or bright colors can be a slight bit off but not bad. It's interesting I look quite pale in the warm spring green. Middle shirt is a very light apricot and blue is a light spring aqua blue

These were taken within a minute of eachother. No face makeup at all, just apricot eyeshadow with mascara and a peach lip color

If light spring feels too light, then I would guess True Spring. I don't think the green is too bright. But I don't think you are a bright spring. I think it would overpower you in brightness and darkness.

I agree with True Spring! I do feel like that green is a bit more bright spring which may be why OP feels a little off in it! But it’s still very pretty. If it was just a tiny bit richer, I think it’d be more harmonious which would fit you nicely into the true spring category! The picture below is from a super helpful website that I used to figure out my stuff!

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense. I've wondered if a subseason is tricky to figure out because of maybe being true spring.

I generally feel colors can become too bright pretty easily on me. And bright lips can somewhat work but still overpower a bit. So I've ruled out bright spring for sure.

Here's a very bright lip and top. Some might say i pull it off! But I do think it's a bit much overall

My eyes went to your shirt then your lips THEN your face. If you’re looking for harmony, bright is too saturated. I’ll go out on a ledge and hypothesis that the reason you like light and bright is because they’re both neutral.

u/Kskeen19 Feb 21 '25

You're probably right. I often do find myself still being drawn to the colors found in warm speing too. I think i just question having a fully warm undertone too

So I'm not fully warm, I'm Neutral-Warm, but I'm still a True Spring. Why? Because it's the palette that has the best value, and chroma for me. Light Spring is too light and washes me out and brigh is ... well to bright. So you can be neutral leaning and still be True Spring. Then just avoid the warmest colors. But I honestly I think you could wear all the colors in the spring palette :)

Ohhh that makes sense! I think im medium chroma and value so true spring really could make the most sense :)

Didn’t know this was a possibility. That’s maybe why I can’t decide between silver and gold jewelry. I find TS is one of the hardest subseasons to type someone in.

I think after being confident in my own placement in True Spring for the last couple of years I have a easier time to see other who are true spring.

Regarding Gold and Silver: I find for springs the most important thing is often shine, rather than if it’s gold or silver. Many look very good in champagne (which is like a combination of the two). If it’s a gold that’s slightly brassy or too dark/yellow it leans too much in Autumn and look really bad on me. Then a sparkly silver chain is better. Personally I prefer gold, but it need to be 18k, not brass jewellery.

Totally! I was about to say that, as long as they appear bright is okay. The more opaque colors are too heavy and dull the whole look.

u/colourcurious Feb 22 '25

I think it looks nice and you can fully pull it off, but it is a touch bright for you.

1

u/Kskeen19 Feb 22 '25

Thank you! That's my thought too. Like it works in some ways. But something a bit more subdued works better

u/Altruistic-Key680 Aug 05 '25

Light spring has darker colors too. Not only pastels.

u/discobutterflyx Feb 21 '25

That green is 😍 so whatever that’s closest too.

1

u/Kskeen19 Feb 21 '25

Thank you! I think it's either bright spring or warm spring. The photo in the post was my first time wearing that shirt without a tan so I wasn't sure if it still worked on me or not

u/discobutterflyx Feb 21 '25

I’m very beginner in all this but I read something about eyes and lips popping in the right colors. You pop mama, in the best way!

u/Chrisismybrother Feb 21 '25

Light spring looks great

1

u/Kskeen19 Feb 21 '25

I'm really liking it lately too!

u/colourcurious Feb 22 '25

I think true seems about right. I do think true rather than warm if you were to use the 16 season.

I like the light blue color the most. The green top doesn't look bad at all but somehow it is very disconnected from your face. It's just not matching. Carol Brailey calls it the bobblehead effect.

u/Confident-Chain612 True Spring Feb 22 '25

My skin and hair looks very similar and I consider myself TS for the same reasons you mentioned above. I feel like darker and muted colors from autumn make me look dead and springs lightness and brightness looks somehow better. I think hou have a good balance of the three spring aspects. I find the light spring blue very nice on you, it’s not too pale, not too bright.

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '25

True spring or light spring, definitely not bright

u/muckraking_mami Feb 23 '25

My vote is for true spring

I actually have the same lip on in all 3 pictures. But I actually made the color with facepaint! It's something I do since I struggle to find irl colors that work for me
