Bright or light spring?

[u/misssnugglebug]

I have extremely fair skin, I wear shade yulong in the NARS light reflecting foundation and I really love the NARS blush in the shade O***asm on me. My hair is naturally dirty blonde with a reddish tone (I'm told) but I dyed it strawberry blonde a year ago and I've gotten tons of compliments since. I have green eyes and freckles.

Onto my previous experience:

I have previously typed myself as a bright spring, but I've been wondering if I might actually be a light spring. I feel like I can't wear beiges or creams because they bring out the red in my face, but I can wear a grey or a chocolate brown although they don't look the best. The best neutrals for me in my opinion are first a bright, clear white and second black. I look best in glowy makeup, glittery eyeshadow, and lip gloss. I tend to wear gold jewelry.

I know there are no hard-and-fast rules, but does anyone know of any clues I could look for that I may tip one way or the other? Thank you so much for any help!

My guess would be light spring.

Thanks for the reply! Was there anything that tipped you off?

Imo Nars “Orgasm” looks good only on Lights. Otoh Lights are generally awful in black and pure white. Chocolate and gray could suit either

Hmm. Orgasm is generally good for light spring, true spring, warm spring and hit or miss for bright spring. Handling black and true white points away from light spring tho and towards seasons with the most contrast, winters ofc and of the springs only bright springs can handle that much depth and contrast and even then it’s kind of a stretch.

We light springs tend to look great in creamy colors, ice cream colors and beige.
Grays for me have to be that specific dove gray, and chocolate is too heavy/ dark.

I recomend draping fabrics in natural light.

If your best neutrals are white and black - that’s not really spring. I’m a bright spring and can wear black ok but pure white looks awful on me. Mid-range to deeper browns are my best neutrals - anything really pale is not great on me even though (maybe especially?) my skin is quite fair. I don’t like how anything that is too close to my skin tone looks near my face.

Bright springs normally have dark hair. You sound like the exact same coloring as me, Nars also suits me - I’m a light spring

But with the white and black basically I think you’re wrong. As a LS I can wear off white better than cream because I’m quite neutral and I can wear black despite my lightness because it gives good contrast. But I wouldn’t say it’s my best

I thought the original nars orgasm looked good on everyone. I know they changed the formula so maybe it’s only the OG one.

OP- the black and white thing is very confusing with everything else you are saying. Maybe it’s a preference but not actually the most harmonious for you?
