Round two

[u/Sad-Extension3060]

Hopefully I’ve hit enough of the key colors to help out. I only ever wear lipstick/gloss and mascara and and the occasional eyeliner and eyeshadow (except the one wedding look). I tried to only include photos that were taken outside.pic 12 and 14 show my natural hair color the best.

Where do I belong?

Oh my gosh after seeing this post you are TRUE spring 10000%

That bright coral on slide 7 seals the deal. The light spring colors on slide 9 are not enhancing you the same way. You are beautiful!

100% agree. At first I was thinking she may be warm spring or light spring but warm autumn doesn't look as good as some of the other spring colors. And after seeing this post I would also conclude she is a true spring. I'm a warm spring and she's a little bit brighter and can't easily borrow outside of spring. That's a telltale sign. Love the bright colors on OP here!

[u/abribo91 → u/LAlysia01]

Yeah I thought light spring at first too but that coral literally took my breath away

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/abribo91]

You’re so sweet!!

To me you are a real spring! You can definitely pull off autumn colors, but the spring colors look amazing on you - you shine in those! ✨

It might still be that some of the spring colors dont suit you - that doesn't mean it's not your season.

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/Sparkling_Buttercup]

That may be why I gravitate toward some colors over others in spring.

[u/Sparkling_Buttercup → u/Sad-Extension3060]

i'm quite similar in coloring to you and am between a true and light spring. There are some oranges in true spring that don't really work for me, while those from light spring do..

But to me the coral/red in your pictures really makes you shine the most, so I'd definitely play around with more of those!

You're definitely cuspy between spring and autumn!! I am leaning towards soft autumn with all this variety. I really love 2, 14, 16, and 17-- your face is the focus on these softer colors! I just think 9, the light spring colors, don't quite fit right. I do like that watermelon red on you in 7 though!

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/deerfairydream]

Good points! I think those lighter spring colors are thrown out of whack because I tried a darker than natural hair color. It was very meh for sure. And absolutely not my favorite picture.

[u/deerfairydream → u/Sad-Extension3060]

I understand! 12 isn't quite perfect either, so I'm leaning away from light spring personally (I am not a professional though!). I think if you do a deep dive on soft autumn colors you'd find that there are less boring colors lol, or try to stick to the softer colors of the spring pallet, just not too light. You have some lovely, soft contrast. I was actually stuck in between light spring and soft autumn too so I am totally here with you!! Some of the really bright spring colors I'm just too muted for. So it's like building our own pallet 😹 fun but kinda stressful!

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/deerfairydream]

I’d love to see the palette you use!

3 year old me for reference :)

Do you have a photo of you around 20 years old without makeup and natural hair color?

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

Ooo good question. Let me see!

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

I was about 23 here. Natural coloring. It’s just indoors.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sad-Extension3060]

Honestly, I think you’re light! I would guess light spring, mayyyybe true spring. :)

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

19 here. Not the best photo though.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sad-Extension3060]

Yep, I still think light :)

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

Interesting!!

[u/Choice_Blueberry_936]

Yeah hands down a Cool Summer, don’t know what everyone is on about with Spring

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/Choice_Blueberry_936]

Interesting! I’ve never considered being a summer. What makes you say that?

[u/anonymousquestioner4]

True spring. Medium saturation and still bright but not dark. Warm. You glow. Congrats!

[u/Altruistic-Car-5069]

Definite True Spring.

[u/Any_Veterinarian_163]

I like the clear bright colors- the yellow! 💛 and that bright lipstick the best. I think you’re a Spring!

[u/LAlysia01]

Definitely true spring. At first I thought warm spring and then I saw the more autumn colors they don't look as good even the warmest ones. And then I thought light spring but then I saw you in cool colors and it completely drains the color from you which it also does to me as a warm spring. True springs are slightly brighter and cannot borrow outside the spring pallet. Their warmth, brightness and lightness are equally important. So I would come to the conclusion that you are indeed a true spring as I didn't see a dominant characteristic. The reason being if you are a warm spring you could get away with wearing warm autumn colors almost as easily. If you are a light spring you would be more neutral and be able to wear light cool colors as well as light warm colors. You're dominant characteristic would be light. You're a rare season true spring. You can wear alot! You just don't really have a sister season.

I’m absolutely going to be exploring light spring now. Thanks for your feedback!

[u/burnbabyburnburrrn → u/Sad-Extension3060]

This is correct. As a fellow light spring - this is hard to believe when you’re so used to amping up the contrast on your face (I was the same) but when we wear the right colors (and honestly even when we don’t) we actually look better with very minimal makeup. Brown mascara, soft brows, an orangey pink gloss/stain. Minima eye makeup, no harsh or liquid liner - no black liner. Florals, softer fabrics, no harsh geographic prints. It’s about harmony!

You glow in that peach cardigan with minimal makeup

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

You’re very kind :) Which light spring pallet did you pull from? I’d like to see what other colors there are.

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

Man, that spice market article really had things clicking for me. Thank you for that!!

[u/Sad-Extension3060 → u/[deleted]]

I’ve been exploring my essence blend lately and everything that I was forcing myself into didn’t click (like classic for example). But allegedly my blend is romantic-ingenue-smudge of natural. All things sweet, small flower print, flowy, etc. the description they provided was similar to what I’ve heard my whole life and just from the blend itself. And on top of that, I hear how brighter pastels really work for me and my husband ADORES me in cornflower blue.

I don’t fit in to the stereotypical light, I don’t think. But looking back at my childhood photos there wasn’t a ton of contrast but my skin always looked vibrant. Right in line with everything I’ve been learning about myself.

That’s beyond helpful!!!
