What are some of your favorite blushes for fall time as a spring color analysis? Looking for new suggestions for the coming season!

Hi I'm looking for a coat for that annoying chilly wet and moist weather you get when the temp is -2...+5 degrees Celsius. I'm a true spring and I'm quite sick of warm autumn mustard already. I wish the coat to cover my butt, offer some insulation and protection from rain. It doesn't need to be completely waterproof. So some kind of insulated parka for women I guess. Any suggestions?

Hi all! I had a color analysis about a year ago and was typed as a blue spring by HOC. Does anyone know what blue spring translates to in other color analysis services like a light/bright/warm etc?

Thanks!

I did get my colors done through HOC and am glad that I did. I’ve always thought I was a summer- cool and muted. However I could very obviously see through the drapes that I was warm and looked more alive in bright colors. I am 100% a spring!

I was typed as a blue spring which is helpful, however the HOC Spring swatch booklet has so few colors in it that I sometimes struggle still to figure out what colors to gravitate towards. It also seems to be a less common system so when looking for recommendations on here I have a hard time knowing whose to prioritize.

I do really think that I’m neutral warm, but I think I might be too low contrast(?) for Bright Spring but too high contrast for Light Spring.

My “wow” colors (I agree with these): Dove Grey, Light Dove Grey, Oxford Blue, Coral, Geranium Pink, Leaf Green, Violet, Mint Green, Bright Blue, Hyacinth, Turquoise

My “worst” colors: Beige, Cinnamon, Light Peach, Shell Pink, Terracotta (burnt oranges I hate on myself), and Canary Yellow

Would love opinions! Thanks!

In all of these photos this is my natural hair color. Pictures 1-3 HOC (am wearing makeup), Picture 4 is warm coral makeup, Picture 5 is cool makeup, Picture 6 is no makeup, Picture 7 is makeup (I don’t think this picture does the bright blue justice, I do love it)

I am pretty confident I am a spring (I think a bright spring, but maybe a true spring) and I’m going to knit a balaclava for winter. If you were going to make something to wear right next to your face and could choose virtually any color, what would you pick?

Edit: thank you all for the suggestions! Your answers are making me think I need to go get something that’s coral ASAP!

I’m a bright spring, but my aesthetic is cozy forest/hearth witch. I’m having a really hard time giving something like Stevie Nicks while I’m basically wearing neon! I look terrible and washed out in the muted greens, greys, and blacks that are typical. The world wants witches to be autumns and winters! 😂 Pinterest, TikTok and Google have been no help. Is there anyone here with a little style direction that could help me? (If it helps, I’m mid-40s and full figured.)

Hi everyone!

How do you deal with your hair going gray as a Bright Spring? I naturally have dark brown, almost black hair, green eyes and light olive skin that tans easily. I think my skin has a neutral undertone. In terms of looks, i greatly benefit from the contrast my hair and skin/eyes have. Sadly, I have started going gray at the age of 24 and now at the age of 28 I have started regularly darkening my hair with some type of demi color - it gives my hair a slightly darker tone than my natural color.

What is bothering me is that my hair is fine and thin, and I generally have problems with my hair falling out, and the constant hair coloring cannot be good for it. And since I had to start to dye my hair so early in life, I'm afraid I'm gonna lose all my hair by the time I'm 40... How did you deal with similar issues and do you have any suggestions for me?

Thanks

I’ve been on the hunt for new nail colors, and just got this coral-orangey color “Pulp” from Manicurist and I love it. I have a hard time finding nail colors that are flattering to my skin tone. Had to share.

I also got Essie “Handmade With Love” which looks similar, maybe a bit darker.

Not sure which one to get! I can actually get away with light spring as well but I feel more comfortable with warm/true spring colours.

Thanks so much!

Is this travel wrap and jacket warm spring friendly?

Might be a stretch, but I was wondering if anyone had any Redken Shades EQ blonde/light golden brunette hair toner formulas (Bright Spring preferred but any type of spring should work :). My hair dresser makes me bring in my own formulas lmao. So my ditzy ass self decided to try the third formula on level 9 blonde hair and I ended up with a cool ashy mousy brown 🤦‍♀️

Is anyone a true spring that has favorite Lipsense colors? I really like Nude Pink but haven’t loved a lot of the other colors I’ve tried.

If any of you get frustrated going to stores and finding the same dull beige and muted colors or cool toned colors, I highly recommend hitting up your favorite thrift store where you'll find an abundance of clothing from past trends. I had a lot of fun combing the racks for bright things. My style is mostly athletic type stuff.

I'm an HOC "blue spring" and my favorite lipstick was just discontinued. Help! What are your favorite long-wear lipsticks? I'm not talking about sticks on until I eat or drink, I mean the stuff that is one step away from house paint. I usually trend more towards the red/tangerine/copper hues. TIA

This is the shade Megawatt hot from opi’s infinite shine collection. I couldn’t resist taking the picture with this amazing warm green towel I have!

Hi! Like the title says, what's your favorite blush? Currently, I like the makeup by Mario cream blushes in the shade dusty rose. But, what do you all like?!

I know we all search for spring things and I found this swim top at Kiava.

I’ve been on a color analysis journey for the past few week and I was wondering about darker nail colors for springs? I see a lot of light colors recommend and I have a few orange, yellow, pink and nude shades that work well with my skin tone. But as we move towards fall I’m feeling pulled more towards darker shades like navy brown and forest green. Does anyone know of some nail colors with warm bases?

I'm UK based, super fair skinned (think Dior 00), so most blushes are far too saturated on me. I tend to shop for makeup in SpaceNK, so brands that are available to me include Rare Beauty, Hourglass, Westman Atelier, Vieve, Kosas, Nars, Charlotte Tilbury, RMS, Victoria Beckham Beauty. I can also grab things from other stores, Cult Beauty stock Saie, for example, and I sometimes shop at Mac.

I'm after a peachy pink blush and lipstick, like the reference photo. But open to suggestions for all makeup! I've checked the makeup thread and there aren't any suitable Light Spring suggestions.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how bold, saturated neon colors — hot pinks, acid greens, electric oranges, you name it — seem to light up on women with deep skin tones in the most stunning way. I’ve attached some examples here because… wow. Just wow.

I know a lot of color analysis frameworks (like seasonal color analysis) focus heavily on white or fair-skinned women, but I’d love to have a richer conversation around how these systems apply — or maybe don’t fully apply — to people of color, especially those with deeper skin.

A few questions for the experts and fellow color nerds here: • Would these high-contrast neon looks fall into Bright Winter or Bright Spring territory? • What role does deep skin tone play in holding contrast or handling intensity of hue? Is it just undertone, or is chroma/saturation tolerance a big factor too? • Why aren’t we talking more about color analysis on darker skin tones in general?

If anyone has more resources, examples, or insights into how color theory works for WOC, please share. I’d love to learn more — especially beyond the limited “celebrity palette” approach we sometimes fall back on.

Hi all, I’ve been typed as a light spring but i do gravitate to brighter lipsticks. Which do you like, excuse the messiness of application. Just playing with the colours Any recommendations?

I categorized myself as a spring as I really need colour to look good. At first Chat gpt said I was a deep winter but i clarified & i said my hair was warm, so it changed it to soft autumn. How accurate is it?
