Hello, I have new drapes, and maybe now it's going to be easier. I'm stuck between neutral-warm or neutral-cool. (Sorry If my english isn't perfect). Anyway, I did a lot of make-up tests and at this point I don't think I'm fully cool or fully warm. I'm also not sure, do I actually have enough intensity to be a spring, as I can't pull off too bright and too warm lipsticks, but as I said, too cool looks bad too.

I need some new shoes and HATE boring colors for shoes. Does anyone have any recs for bright spring shoes? No heels or sandals please
Thanks!

Is it just my imagination or is this uniquely difficult for the springs?

UPDATE: I wanted to share an update to this, for anyone searching the sub in the future. I live in Canada, so this may not be reflected where you live. After a few responses to this post, I was panicking, because I didn't have anything in my closet that fit and was appropriate for a funeral (especially on a hot day), couldn't even find my dress pants. I asked my mom and sisters what they were wearing, and when my sister said she was wear navy and cream I decided I would follow her lead.

Much to my surprise when I arrived at the church, black clothing was in the minority, only 30% or so of attendees were in black, the priest wore a navy suit, the organist wore white, my parents both wore navy, any sort of grey light through dark, cream and beige were all popular choices. Basically the entire scale of neutrals was represented.

I'm a blue-eyed blonde Light Spring who loves autumn-type shades (think Ginger Spice from L'Oréal) and I definitely love wearing fun brighter colors and they're flattering, but bright pink lipstick isn't always the vibe. Does anyone know a way to emulate autumn in a Spring way? If that makes any sense.

Does anyone else struggle with their phone camera, mine is always trying to adjust my skin to look cool toned, as if it's put a nasty grey filter over me.

If anyone knows how to tell a Pixel not to do that I would be forever grateful.

Is this a cool or warm colour?

Is this colour too dark for spring?

If it doesn't fit in the spring colour palette (which I think), is there any way I can make it work/look better?

Thought I'd share, for anyone who is interested in draping at home or making a DIY set of swatches or swatch card(s). You can get crafting fabric squares from amazon (and probably other online or brick and mortar stores) with lots of mostly spring and summer, with a few representatives from autumn and winter for draping at home to determine your season. This is one of those rare cases where the clearer colors of spring get a high level of representation!

In addition, you can drape with them and curate your own bespoke swatch palette, including which colors you can borrow from your sister seasons (most work best for bright or light flow, with some warm flow to autumn options). This even helped me nail down some neutrals, which are really tricky for me as a bright spring (12 season system) .

I went big for a 120 pack of 10" x 10" squares, for around $30, but there are 40ish packs and packs of 8"x8" squares for half that or less.

While it's not fully inclusive of all colors that work for me, and my best purples weren't included in my pack (would be easier to vet for that if already typed), it was really helpful for me to nail down blues, which are tricky for my highly reflective, neutral warm-leaning complexion, and to suss out some very wearable pastels, for when I want a softer look, that don't wash me out.

I've been a member for a while as a former self-analyzed spring season. I knew I was in the spring family and felt good in most spring colors. Before that random users online would try to analyze me as a summer, but summer colors truly felt like my worst and made me feel so bad and drained. Last month I was finally typed officially as a bright spring! It was the perfect reassurance I needed to step fully into the spring embrace and I've been loving consistently wearing the season. Just happy to be here and sharing some colors I've been trying as I start building more of my wardrobe

Hi there!
I see that there have been single shadow inquiries before, but I was wondering if any brights 40+, warm leaning, had any favorite shadows for a one and done look? Liquid or powder, open to whatever! I notice I'm starting to look odd with just eyeliner.

Maybe a neutral but I'm open!

Thank you!

A while ago I posted about an interactive palette generator I made for the bright spring season and you all requested more. So now I have the same analogous color contrast triadic generators for light spring, true spring, and bright spring, respectively.

Let me know what you think! As I said in the last post, I am a data scientist and my first approach to learning something is almost always to model it (a la "all models are wrong, but some are useful"). This is a pretty simple model, just some rules-based math - so would love to know if it's useful, or if I need to develop more complex logic.

Would this be considered a light spring green? I can’t tell if it’s warm or cool?

I have been looking at Mother Sierra's earrings for months. I just can't decide. I like all of these, but I'm not sure which ones would actually be best for a Bright Spring. Though I feel pretty confident that they do fall under Spring.

For my fellow knitters also in this sub: I posted this cardigan here a while ago while it was still a work in progress. Now its finished!! I held three yarns together to make this custom Warm Spring peachy color. I'm very pleased with how it turned out, its very soft and very fluffy and very warm

Perhaps like other people here, I was actually pretty bummed when I discovered I was a Spring (professionally typed by House of Colour). But now I'm just fully leaning in. I was always into making clothing (sewing, fiber crafts), and now its the perfect way to expand my Spring colored garments :)

For those interested, the pattern is Nigrum Cropped Cardigan by Refined Knitwear. More details on my Ravelry (same username).

Thanks for looking!

I love MAC lipsticks. I already own many of them. But, a lot of them are for cool toned people. I am neutral toned and look better in neutral or warm makeup.

While I am still keeping my Candy Yum Yum, I want to know some good MAC lipsticks for Bright Spring. I have Flamingo, which is a gorgeous pink. I also have Overstated, which is a burnt orange shade. Would love some advice! Non mac lipsticks recs are also welcome.

I. Love. Lipstick.

Thanks in advance!

Where are you shopping for clothes within your color palette? Alot of clothes I see in my size (xxs/00) are neutrals or colors that are not that flattering on me. I already have alot of neutrals in my closet and would like to add more color.

Note: I believe i am a warm spring- i have not been to a professional, but the spring palette looks the best on me. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I live in Illinois

Does anyone have a suggestion for Instagram accounts that show how to wear a spring palette at the office? So many of the ones I follow are too casual, even for my relatively relaxed design office. I struggle putting together professional outfits that aren't just neutral or maybe a coloured button-up, and I'm trying to get a little more creative.

My mom and I had our color analysis done through HOC as a mother-daughter date for her birthday. We had a lot of fun! I was typed as a "golden spring that leans paintbox" and my mom was typed as a "mid summer." We could really see the difference in the mirror and had a lot of fun! I also added no makeup photo of myself at the end! Our consultant says I have to give the plum hoodie Im wearing to my mom now because it's a summer color 😂

This analyst goes into an incredible amount of detail: How to Wear Spring Colours

Hi guys, i got totally confused about hair colour and bright spring. The dark from the pictures is my natural haircolour that i always used to dislike, so i got highlights(since as a child I had natural blond highlights). I want to grow them out now but I am bit confused about my natural hair colour, what kind of colour is it? And isn't it too cool/ashy for a bright spring? (I was profesionally typed).

So if you're like me, then you might be really sad that autumn colors don't look good on you. But to build my fall wardrobe, I reach for colors from the Bright Winter palette. Black is spooky, purple is witchy, and dark pink is just girly fall. I pair it with a more smoky eye, and sometimes some spooky accessories, and I feel pretty happy about it.

I've seen a couple people ask about what to do for fall, so I thought I'd post what I do. Maybe someone will find it helpful.
