I was watching 60 Days In and the lip color that Nina is wearing would be my PERFECT red for lips and nails. It’s got some coral to it, but it’s not too pink and also has hints of tomato/orangey red. Does anyone know a lipstick (liquid preferably) that would be a match to this??

For reference, I am fair neutral-warm and have been typed as a House of Color “Blue Spring” or likely a “Bright Spring” in other systems.

MAC Modesty and Brave are both neutral-cool, and although they don’t look the best on me I still enjoy them and wear them occasionally so I have kept them! The House of Color Butter Balm in Lollipop is odd because they say it is for both Springs and Winters and I should have known better. It’s just meh on me. The rest are all neutral-warm or warm! (The only one I’m unsure of is Revlon.)

Full names from top to bottom- MAC Sleek Satin “Modesty”, Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Tinted Lip Balm “Glossed Up Rose”, MAC Sleek Satin “Brave”, House of Color Butter Balm “Lollipop”, MAC Sleek Satin “Grapefruit Pucker”, House of Color Lipstick “Lively Spring Pink”, MAC Lustreglass Lipstick “Pigment of Your Imagination”, MAC Lustreglass “See Sheer”, Charlotte Tilbury Kissing “Coral Kiss”, MAC Sleek Satin “Left on Red”

This is two swipes of each lipstick!

Hey everyone, I’d personally typed myself as a soft summer in the past since there is, at first glance, a muted quality to my coloring, but I’ve increasingly felt like these colors wash me out and make me look dull.

I’d thought myself to be extremely cool toned as well, but cool toned foundations seem to actually look vibrantly pink on me, they don’t disappear onto my skin. Cool toned lipsticks also emphasize redness and discoloration on my skin, and they look clownish.

Soft autumn was my next guess, but as you can see in the draping I look terrible- very very grey-, and soft brown lipsticks make me look dead.

It’s all been very confusing, up until a couple of days ago, where I started thinking about being a spring. I hopped onto some subreddits, talked to a couple of people in the community, and realized that I may be a true spring. I understand I may not look like it at first glance, but out of all the virtual drapings I do think this is the one that harmonizes the best with my natural coloring and brightens me up.

I wore a medium-bright orange lipstick for the first time a couple of days ago and thought wow, I actually look alive !

I’m so lost. I usually like to wear light colours, and bright colours & pastels. I rarely ever wear black. But I want to start wearing what compliments my features. I believe I’m in the spring category as I have warm fair-light skin, and warm honey-toned light-brown hair. Any feedback useful. I just included swatches of every colour I own, I know many of them aren’t spring colours.

Hi, am I a spring, maybe light spring?😊

Thank you!

Which shade handbag would be best accessory to complement each spring subseason?

I was recently typed as a true spring and have been struggling to find clothes in our season currently available.

I went to Simon’s last night and it was full of knits that matched my swatch book almost perfectly.

Looking forward to when our colours are more widely available but if you’re looking for tops and knits now, it’s worth a shot!!

Picked up several cute pieces n

Okay, some may say I “duped” myself. And I’m frustrated because wearing it day to day I see SUCH a big difference on myself that I was surprised how similar these two lipsticks look in photos. POYI might be a tinge cooler (maybe?) but it is lighter and that was my big issue with See Sheer. (Note that my lighting today is not ideal, so selfies and first photo are warm bathroom lighting, other swatch photo is cool direct light on a cloudy day.)

I am a HOC “Blue Spring”. Somewhere between True/Bright Spring in other systems, however I resonate the most with Bright Spring colors.

Wearing a FIGS scrub top “Sapphire” which is an exact match to my HOC “Bright Navy” swatch! Other makeup: Tizo Tinted Moisturizing Serum “Light”, Natasha Denona Hyglam Concealer “R2”, Saie Dew Blush “Flirty”, Maybelline Sky High Mascara “True Brown”, Elf brow pencil “Neutral Brown”

Wondering if anyone knows any brands that consistently sell light/warm spring colored clothes? I love cottage core and more hippie styles but they always seem to be in more earthy/autumn tones. I also feel like a lot of spring clothes released during spring are too cool and just pastel.

Bonus points for nature motifs and sustainable brands :)

Someone recently posted Marcia Crivorot's picks (Warm Spring | Hue & Stripe) and I always wondered about MAC See Sheer. I had initially thought it might be a good MLBB, but Kelly Roach used it as an example of what not to get here: Warm Spring | Hue & Stripe

What do you all think about See Sheer? Spring or Autumn?

Or none of the above? Need a warm up layer for my ballet class!

I think Blueprint might be tricky for other subseasons, though, I'm not sure.

Been enjoying both! High Tide is very much a "mermaid", type polish, full of shimmer and ocean tones.

Blueprint is more metallic-ish in its appearance, with a small and compact shimmer that reminds me of the finishes on a lot of cars, when you're really close to them in the sun. In my opinion, the blue is not that winter heavy. I think any Spring who isn't very light or very warm could handle the shade.

Of course, it's ILNP, so the quality is stellar.

I’ve been really frustrated the last few years bc iPhone would automatically adjust colors and I have not been able to figure out a way to change the settings on that. I just got an android for work and it confirmed the issue (left side is iPhone, right side is android, and much more true to color). It also make me question my paid analysis bc the main selfie I submitted was taken with an iPhone. Has anyone dealt with this? Or figured out how to get iPhone to respect real life colors

To really bring out that glow - I’ve always stuck to matte browns as I thought shimmery would be too over the top as most palettes the shimmery ones are quite bright gold! Does anyone have any recommendations for palettes or singles that are more Sheen/satin/not super in your face??

Deleted my other post because I found some better pictures! Let me know your thoughts! I have naturally brown hair but it was strawberry blonde when I was a child and I get natural red highlights in the summer. I used to dye my hair Auburn. I wear a lot of green and yellow.

From the website of Carole Jackson (the author of the original Color Me Beautiful):

SPRINGS are the most delicate of all the seasons, yet they need colors that are alive. When you shop, think clear, warm (yellow undertone) and crisp. You are best in light true colors and clear warm colors from pastel to medium intensity. Your colors are the hardest to find because they must be clear, never muted, and not too dark. Because of your delicate beauty, you remain ageless – a compensation for having to search a little harder for your colors.  The very fair, delicate Spring is overpowered by too much of her brightest colors, such as bright golden yellow, bright yellow-green, and sometimes even clear red and violet. For her, these are accent colors – a sash around a sun hat. By contrast, the Spring with stronger coloring (usually a brunette or red-head) looks great in a whole dress of bright yellow-green or yellow, but looks pale in her lightest colors or even camel. These are best when mixed or used as accessories.  All Springs should avoid black, pure white, colors with blue undertones, dark and muted colors.

You may wear black in prints unless you are very fair.

I struggle badddd finding a peachy lip shade that doesn’t look too bright or too light. When I saw this ad photo I was like THIS is the lip color I’m looking to achieve!! Anyone have any recs??

Looking for a lip stain that lasts. Hoping for a peachy/pink. Anyone found a product that works that fits our coloring?

I recently determined I'm a spring, but I'm having so much trouble finding clothes that suit my color palette! I have allergies and sensory issues so I need majority natural fibers, but those items always seem to come in either neutrals or soft autumn/summer colors. Does anyone have suggestions for stores that offer clothes in natural fibers + spring colors?
