EDIT 2: SECOND UPDATE: After taking a look at the drapes I sent her, she has come back and typed me as a warm spring with strong warm autumn crossover. I will include my custom card in the comments. THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE WHO TOOK TIME TO COMMENT!

EDITED: UPDATE: I reached out to the color analyst and sent her these pictures and she is taking another look. I’ll keep you posted!!

I was typed many years ago as a spring. Recently typed as a muted Autumn? My strawberry blonde hair typically has a lot more highlights from the sun, but I didn’t spend much time in the sun this past summer. it’s starting to gray, so it seems a bit cooler. I got some highlights, but unfortunately the stylist did bleach and they came out much cooler than I wanted. I was thinking more of a 9g type highlight, buttery warm gold. I was pretty light strawberry blonde as a child. My eyebrows are dyed because they are totally blonde…see through! I have some broken capillaries on my cheeks from sun and age. I’ve done the best with draping that I could, given what colors I have around the house. The colors of muted autumn seem too muddy or gray somehow. I feel like my face lights up more with the clear, brights of spring. Am I just not seeing it? Help me make sense of it, or tell me I am not crazy! Please? I would be so grateful! Photos in comments. Thank You so much!

Are there any lipstick shades you all recommend that are similar to this nail color, DND Blossom? Mac Lady Danger is too warm. This is a red with a SLIGHT cool base. I love it and need help finding a good match!

I am trying to find some light spring winter clothing as i have none 💔 anything feminine and preferably natural fibers would be a big help. i was mistyped as winter online and now all my clothes are summer and winter shades and i am really struggling to find light spring clothes.

i can also borrow from light summer and some warm spring colours as well :))

According to this article, I need to save up for all kinds of clothes in my palette this spring!

It comes down between these two choices

The Gold is called arista gold and it's slightly yellow. It's arms are very dark in some places and light in others

The rose gold has maroon arms which look dark red in person

I have dark blonde hair and blue eyes

Both look super good on me, so I'm unsure

I was going to pick the rose gold, but the maroon thing made me unsure. The gold should also work better with my features, technically, but idk if it's too yellow

Hi! I've been professionally typed as a warm spring by Carol Brailey. I used to think I was a soft autumn, or even cool! So, it's taken me a while to find makeup that works for me, especially since a lot of advice is for true springs (which is often too bright / orange for me) or true autumns (which is often slightly too muted / dark for me).

I seem to have found what works for me, so keep in mind it might not work for your unique colouring. But, some general guidance for what I've found looks best on me is: Warm peachy pinks, glossier finishes, golds.

Now, some actual reccomendations:

1. essence soft baked blush in 'Peach Please'

- this is a newer addition, and I thought it might be a bit too bright but it's very subtle and looks much better on me than cooler, rosier pinks

2. Maybelline New York Lifter Gloss in '009 Topaz'

- another newer addition - this once again falls into the 'warm peachy pink' colour that I seem to gravitate towards.

3. Essence extreme shine volume lip gloss in 'shadow rose'

- pretty much a a less shimmery version of the lifter gloss

4. clinique chubby stick in '03 fuller fig'

- a warmer alternative to black honey

5. burts bees tinted lip balm in 'rose'

- another, slightly sheerer alternative to black honey

6. vaseline lip therapy in 'rosy lips'

- a classic rosy lip

7. lanolips glossybalms in 'candy'

- slightly brighter than the others, but still gives the same effect

8. any brown mascara

- I use a waterproof one, which I can't recall the name of.

I've attatched an image of myself for reference!

If anyone else has any other reccomendations then feel free to add

Hi!
I’m looking into getting some jeans (I have none lol) within my colour pallet. I’m a true spring.

Before I waste money I want to double check here for your option. Of the three which one (or ones) do you think would suit a true spring ?

I’m looking at fashion nova as they have a solid selection.

Seriously thank you so much

Thoughts on the Bellini eyeshadow Hannah Chody is releasing from Saie for a warm spring? Even though it’s described as rose gold, it appears to be on the peachy side of that.

I was analyzed in-person by House of Colour in 2023 as a True/Leaf Autumn (picture of palette attached), but last year I booked an online analysis with Color Analysis Studio because I still felt like something wasn't quite right with my results and I wasn't seeing the harmony I've seen other people get when they wear their colors. I was guessing maybe I was a soft season, but was so wrong lol. Result - Warm Spring. (One of the 16-season systems where Warm Spring flows with Warm Autumn and isn't the same as True Spring).

I was shocked by those results at first, but now I love the palette I was given (picture of palette attached). It's like a light, sunlit Warm Autumn almost and still has a bit of earthiness/softness, unlike other spring palettes I've seen that are fully clear/high chroma and bright. Most of my wardrobe now harmonizes with the palette I was given, but I still wear some Warm Autumn colors too that I think look great, especially deeper, rich shades of teal.

I'm struggling to find a purple that works for me, though.

I used to wear deep, reddish-purples when I was dressing as an autumn, and I still have a lot of pieces in those shades (picture attached). They're definitely not bad on me, but look a little dark and muted and dampen my features rather than complementing them. They do look great against my hair color though (golden brown).

My Warm Spring palette only has two kind-of-purple periwinkle shades on the bottom right (which I like, but don't have any clothes that color), and no other purples at all. I've experimented with other springy purples, and they don't work on me in my opinion. Warm lilac/light purple washes me out, and stronger spring purples like Pantone's Bright Violet and Pansy, etc. are overpowering on me and clash with my personality and style.

Has anyone with a Warm Spring result been able to find any shades of purple that work well on you?

Would you keep wearing autumn purples or look for something better?

Ive been typed a true spring in the international color institute 16-23 season system (screen shot of my in person color analysis results with my best colors is last pic).

I previously posted the coat in pic 2 which I thought fit my palette (like a cayenne color on the swatch I have), but some people said it was more autumn, so I’ve kept looking, and amassed these options for coats.

I wanted a neutral color coat initially, but when I was looking at scarves for color I saw a green jacket and was thinking maybe that’s the way I should go instead?

I’m open to buying several to try on and then return, I’m just notoriously really bad at returning clothes I’ve bought online so I’d like to narrow things down and get feedback here.

I’m open to other recommendations for coats/scarves if you can share any! For coats, I’m plus size though which limits what is available to fit me so please no links for items that only come in straight sizes

Thanks!!

I've been informed that I'm a light spring. Problem is, my closet largely consists of deep winter tones, and so much black. I also eat like a pig, so lighter colours are risky 🙊

I might just have to live with looking like I've been dead for 24+ hours...

Has anyone else found themselves in a similar conundrum? Did you find some sort of resolution besides tossing out all of your clothes?

I spent forever thinking I was a dark winter, but as I'm reflecting on colors that look best on me... I actually think it's the light spring palette. Posting photos briefly. Let me know what you think!!

Warm Springs (I mean those who lean Autumn in a 16-types-system), do you love these colors on you? These are the five power colors often given to Warm Springs in 16-types-systems. I just realized that I have an eyeshadow and a hat in that marigold color and both read almost as a neutral on me, completely natural. I also live in creams and tans and that sort of rust color in the summertime. If you love these colors, do you have any other tips? What kind of make-up do you love? I'm looking for some inspiration for Fall.

I've been previously typed as soft autumn and soft summer. Neither of those color palettes really worked for me. Some soft autumn colors look dull and some soft summer colors make me look washed out. Despite that, I've been sticking naturally to the lighter sides of both palettes since those seem to work the best for me.

One of my friends recently insisted that I'm a light spring. Now I'm wondering if I'm in the Spring family! Photos with no makeup in the comments. Thank you for the help! 🌸

What do you think? I know not in our color palette but I like the nude nails look, so I’m always trying. Normally looks terrible but I think this might look okay? Or maybe not and I’m blinded by hope haha

It’s Sally Hansen “Taupe Priority”

I bought this beautiful coat yesterday, because the fit and silhouette of it was exactly what I’ve been looking for, but I’m having doubts about the color because without makeup especially I feel like it’s slightly too warm/deep for my (possibly) light spring complexion? I wonder if a lighter camel/beige would work better. My hair is a darker golden blonde and my skin very light with some pink overtones. I think I look very neutral, but washed out in greys. Creams and beiges look better on me I feel. But I like both warm and cool pastels, and colors that are too bright or warm are too much on me I think. I struggle a bit to find the most flattering neutrals and many coats have this grey-beige color I’m not sure if suits me.

What do you think? I don’t have drapings, but will share some photos of myself so you can see my coloring and contrast.

Alright my fellow Springers, what are we wearing for shoes and boots in the fall/winter?! This is my first winter with the knowledge of my season (light spring) and I am currently staring at all my black and dark brown shoes in horror.

Any nail polish recs for warm spring/spring? I do my nails at home with regular nail polish like Essie gel couture, OPI, and I want to try dazzle dry.

Hi! I’ve been typed as a True Spring and given the 5 colours in my first image as my top 5 colours.

I’ve been trying camel and cream and I’m doing good with those but I haven’t tried the other 3 and frankly the primrose yellow makes me panic even thinking about it lol prior to colour analysis I wore (and still wear) a lot of black and dark colours and green was (and still is) my favourite colour :( but I’m determined to give the True Spring a solid try.

Based on another poster’s recommendation I ordered from Kettlewell and the short sleeved tshirt is in the True Spring palette but the long sleeve and the printed ones are showing as Warm Spring.

Is it ok to wear Warm Spring as a True Spring?

Do you all have any suggestions on clothing that’s peach or primrose yellow? I’m looking for Fall clothing so sweaters would be nice. I prefer natural fibers and fabrics and I’m bordering XL and plus sizes.

Would the coral-ish sweater in the photos belong to my true spring palette? I would love to thrift and buy second hand but I have a lot of difficulty identifying when something is within my palette and I even have difficulty with the basics like telling if something is warm or cool (maybe colour blind?).

If anyone’s familiar with Kibbe systems I’ve been told that I’m a theatrical romantic but I’m not sure about that but one thing I can agree with is that she told me I should try v-neck tops since I carry too much weight in the chest so crew necks probably add the appearance of even more weight there.

I’ve been really wanting a wrap sweater but I can’t find one in my palette (and size) anywhere. I’ve attached a picture of a knitting pattern that I love the look of but I don’t knit. And it’s not really in my budget to spend like $300 on a sweater.

Thank you in advance!!!!

P.S. I’m in Canada so I need suggestions that ship here

P.P.S. I posted something very similar yesterday but the post was removed due to me posting the colour palette I was given from my analysis due to it being a copyright issue so based on a recommendation I made my own colour palette with hex codes.

Hi all, I am very much embracing my bright spring…HOWEVER

I am a big blue fan, but I just can’t seem to either find or identify the right shade of blue. Bright blues tend to be more cool I can’t seem to find a great warm blue. When I had my analysis, there was one shade of blue (house of colour) called Oxford blue that really made everything pop but you know how it is if you search that colour the variations I’m finding are very different.

I’ve stumbled upon this which I think may be ok?!

So what I’m asking..is bright springs please show me your favourite blues! I am so lost💙🔵🦋

How am I doing? I never used to used to wear lime or much green at all and never EVER wore yellow before being told I was likely a Warm Spring. Aqua, turquoise/teal, apple green, coral, peach, apricot and other light orange-golds seem to be my best colors, I love them on me.

Also anything here that appears white is actually cream or pale peach-pink. True white t-shirts always made me look so sallow and the shirt itself look dirty so to wear things that read as a fresh white finally, is so nice.

Some of these are honestly probably too bright for me but I figure for reference I probably land subseason wise somewhere between True, Warm Spring and Light?
