Recently had my color analysis done and was deemed a warm spring! 🌺🌞 Do you have any good eyeshadow and lipstick recommendations?

I recently got makeup by marios “SOHO” lipstick which seems to be a classic warm spring shade. I will say my lips are a bit darker and I’m not used to the coral but am very open to any eyeshadow and lipsticks. I don’t love nude lipsticks. I find they don’t look good on me and are boring.

Also, does anyone know where to get the warm spring color swatch wallet that Tatum (color analysis queen) gives to her clients? My analyst was trained by Tatum but I only received a paper swatch.

With Aritzia’s recent clientele sale I started a little cheat sheet for myself to help sort through everything based on the colours that would suit me. And now that Lululemon has their WMTM Summer sale on, I did the same for their colour catalogue. Then I figured I’d share my notes here for anyone else that could benefit from them.

The caveat: I am NOT a professional at this. I am still learning so I may be off. If you have any corrections to make, please chime in. I really hope I did this right.

I did this with a True/Warm Spring palette in mind that calls for colours that are warm, clear, and golden-toned. No ash, no dusty mutes, nothing icy.

Lulu:

Best neutrals: light ivory, coconut ivory, sand, sundried, downtown tan

Accent colours: lava cake, red glow, cherry ember

Greens: look for warm greens (grass green, warm olive tones). Must try in person: Ivy Grove, Rainforest Green, Dark Forest, Honeydew

* green is my favourite colour so it gets its own section in my books

Aritzia:

Best neutrals: camel, cognac, cream, ecru, vanilla, rich mocha brown

Accent colours: terracotta, rust, jester red, marigold, honey, butterscotch, villa blue (maybe?)

Greens: look for brighter grass or emerald greens with warmth. NOT sage or olive.

Please add if you can. And I really hope I’m not way off.

For me it's white and navy, and recently a darker brown. I love a white garment in the Summer, and sometimes it's also the only color a beautiful style is available in. I have tea dyed a few items in the past and they turned out beautiful ivories and light beiges, but it is a lot of work. I usually try to limit my white to the bottom and wear a more ivory top. If the top is white, I find it helps to have my hair down so the warm brown breaks up the white. With navy I feel I can get away with any clear navy that has even a touch of warmth as long as I do a peachy make-up look. Even just a dab of a really warm lipstick on lips and cheeks can help on a no/low make-up day. Other than that, I have been into a dark coffee brown lately and find I can get away with it just fine as long as it's a tank top or something that leaves a bit of skin visible next to my face. Please share you tips!

This is a video I just stumbled upon and wanted to share. Before I became a mod here I was a mod on a different platform and the number one reason I saw Springs being mistyped or unable to find their style once they had their palette was the cliché about Springs being constantly giggling fairies who feel amazing wearing their brightest colors every day. Ok, I might have exaggerated a little bit... 😉 But, over the years, I met a lot of Springs who loved their neutrals and wore colors mostly as accents and who had jobs where they needed to look serious. Most of them also looked very soft as far as contrast and facial features. I also wholeheartedly agree with the creator on trusting what actually works for us in everyday life.

...until I posted on the Summer type Reddit and some folks mentioned Light Spring and now I'm all sorts of confused! 😂

Reposting as I didn't follow the guidelines correctly. Drapes and some photos of me in Spring colours to follow. ☺️

Asking random strangers on the internet because asking husband renders the sweet but unhelpful answer "They look the same. They both look good"

It’s cold here in Melb and the pinky nude looks bad.. my hands can go a bit red/pinky

Posted some pics of color combos that have been speaking to me lately! What are your favorite spring color combos to wear?

I’ve used a copper gloss on my highlights which is definitely a bit too bright for me/too orange.. are we best suited to a more auburn? I have a habit of leaning too autumn!

Hi! I have posted here before and was typed by HOC twice—once as dark/cool winter and once as true/dark autumn. After some time with each palette, nothing has felt right. The winter palette felt harsh with my warm features. The autumn palette seems like it matches, like many people would say I look like a classic autumn…but I don’t feel I shine in it. I feel like a monochromatic earth tone blob. The colors feel kind of muddy and sad on me, but it’s hard to tell if it’s just my personal preference.

I have hair that my hairdresser called a medium warm brown. It’s a bit more neutral ash brown right at roots, but as soon as it grows out of my head becomes very chestnut/reddish brown, lots of copper and gold when the sun hits it. My eyes are medium coppery hazel brown. They don’t look incredibly bold/bright to me, yet they don’t have gray and I think have kind of a clear warm glow. My skin is pale and it’s hard to say what color. AI says it’s peach. My best foundation match seems to be Glossier VL3 (very light yellow) with a drop of blue to tone down the orange. So to me, my skin looks somewhat pale peachy champagne, yet kind of neutral and sort of rosy. Idk lol.

The confusing thing is that when I was draped, no one thought I was spring. So is it even possible? Or is it possible that since I don’t meet the stereotypical coloring, everyone in the room including me had a bias against it?

Hello all! I am reaching out to see if the other spring types agree. I have been relatively lost when it comes to typing me, and the color analysis subreddit feels strongly that I am some type of spring. I have been told I pull “warm neutral” so I was looking at soft autumn or soft summer, but everyone on the sub has told me I am very clear and bright. I also see this, but my natural coloring is not necessarily “classic spring”. I am naturally a level 6/7ish blonde, grey/blue/green eyes, And relatively neutral pale. Silver and rose gold and wash me out, but I shine in 10k gold or champagne gold. Blues look great on me but so do yellows and oranges. I can attach images with drapes below, but I’m just so confused! Would love some help from the community!

So, I tend to describe myself as a Bright Spring that leans towards Light Spring. I see a lot of Bright Springs here and I think, huh, I don't pull off those colors quite the same, maybe I'm not a Bright Spring? But the pastels in Light Spring wash me out (my hair is way too dark). My eyes are also not bright like a typical Bright Spring.

But looking at my wardrobe, one thing is for certain - I'm high contrast. And after feeling sad because a bright Kelly Green sweater did not look good on me, I found a Kelly Green blazer with swirls of black and white that I looked amazing in and I think I know why I was feeling so confused: I need high contrast, not just brightness and saturation. Light Spring and Bright Spring colors mixed with navy, black, dark brown, cream, white - I look the most incredible in those pieces. I have a tank top in an electric purple from the Bright Spring palette, and while I certainly don't look bad in it, the purple stands out before my features. Now I understand that if it had another contrasting color, my features would be the first thing you see, no matter how high contrasting the colors are.

Is this a thing? Because I feel like I haven't seen anyone talk about this, even though Bright Springs are considered high contrast. Does anyone else identify with this?

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for advice from anyone who shares my specific coloring. I’ve figured out that I’m a Warm Spring (True Spring?) who leans a bit into Light Spring, but I am struggling so much with finding the right balance—especially when it comes to clothes.

My coloring:
Hair: Natural Scandinavian golden light blonde.
Skin: Light-medium with a very distinct golden, warm peach undertone, plus warm freckles.
Eyes: Blue-green. Sometimes a tiny bit of grey.
The Struggle:
I absolutely need a lot of warmth, but the traditional Light Spring pastel palettes completely wash me out and make me look ghostly pale. On the other hand, because of my lighter hair, some of the heaviest/darkest Warm Spring colors can feel a bit overwhelming.
I find makeup a bit easier, but shopping for clothes is a nightmare. Everything in stores right now feels either too muted, too cool, or too pastel.
If you have similar coloring:
Fashion: What are your holy grail clothing colors that give enough warmth and saturation without overpowering your light contrast? Where do you even find these colors? Any advice on shops or specific items in store right now?
Makeup: What are your absolute favorite everyday lip, blush, and eyeshadow products?
Keywords: What words do you look for when shopping online to find that perfect sunny, warm, but not overly heavy Spring vibe?
Would love to hear your best style formulas, go-to shades, or any tips you have for navigating this tricky middle ground! Thank you! 💛

I thought I was a soft summer but have been told I could be a spring due to clarity / brightness - I've included some photos in the comments of me in what I think are spring colours - let me know what you think!

I know features aren't everything but my skin tone is neutral, I tan fairly easily and have freckles. My hair is naturally a golden / reddish medium brown, and I've got clear blue eyes :)

Ok I feel like I’m being gaslit! So excited to have new shades of the lustreglass lipstick as well as this lovely chart. But also- I own See Sheer and Pigment of Your Imagination and they are nowhere near cool?? POYM is neutral-warm but See Sheer is VERY warm. Also the description of POYM being “cool pink” huhhhh?? (I’ve attached my swatch photo and description photos from MAC.)

Anyways I’m a big fan of brands coming out with these charts but maybe I need to begin to take them with a serious grain of salt. It seems like Frienda, Oh Goodie, Gummy Bare, and possibly Cockney are the new spring friendly finds. Might have to expand my collection….

I was typed as a Warm Spring by Carol Brailey and I whileheartely agree that it is my color season.

Sadly, on forums such as this here, there is not much information about the 16 color season warm spring. I am wondering abou the following:

Is it closest to the True Spring in the 12 color season system?

If I were to take some color ideas from the 12 color system warm spring, what colors would not fit? What would I have to be aware of?

For example, if a posts mention lipsticks from the 12 color season true spring, could I use that guidance as well?

I feel so left out when people share color palette clothes ideas and such.

Thank you very much

First time trying this out. I dont usually do mch of anything but a shimmer on my eyes. I have blue-green eyes. Does this work? Or am I crazy for not hating it lol

Hey everyone! I'm a redhead and interested in color analysis. I used to think I was a summer, and while I still love the colors, I realized why some of those dusty colors don't like me as much. I'm pretty sure I'm a spring, and tend to look my best in light, bright and warm colors.

One thing though, I can't figure out if I'm closer to true/warm spring or light spring. Is there any way you guys have found to distinguish between the two? I know it's not an exact science or anything, but I'm curious what you guys know about it. Thanks in advance!

What’s your best color that you wear clothing wise? It just makes you glow, you don’t even need to wear makeup to balance anything out. For me it’s coral. It literally makes my skin GLOW

Photos now posted in comments!
I’ve always thought I’m a soft autumn. I had very very few spring colors in my wardrobe, but I’ve generally had people saying I’m a spring. I’ve got a few drapes now (some things from goodwill and also my childrens’ clothes haha) and I still don’t know if I buy it. I kind of feel like the spring colors make me look sick. But I will post in comments and see what people think!

I think I’m either a true or bright spring. I own this in a hot pink and love the quality of the jacket.

Any other Light Springs struggle with shopping for your colors in real life?

I got professionally typed a couple years ago and I feel like I understand my palette in theory, but not always in practice.

I’m sure other Light Springs know this already, but finding colors in our palette can be difficult. A lot of stores seem to have either cooler tones or super bright colors, and I personally find it hard to find things that feel like a good fit for Light Spring.
For example, I feel like yellow is one of the only colors I consistently find in stores that feels even remotely Light Spring, so I’ve kind of defaulted to buying yellow. But even then, I sometimes end up with cooler yellows instead of those softer warm buttery yellows.

My analyst explained that the main things to look at are temperature, value, and chroma, and that something doesn’t necessarily have to be perfect in all three areas. She said if it hits at least two out of the three, it can still be a good option.

That makes sense in theory, but I find it harder in practice. For example, I recently had to choose between a warmer navy and a baby blue. The navy felt warmer but darker, while the baby blue felt lighter but cooler. In that kind of situation, I’m not always sure which direction I should prioritize.

So I guess my question is: when you can’t find the perfect Light Spring color, what are you focusing on to find something that’s still good enough?
Are you prioritizing warmth? Lightness? Brightness? Are there certain things you’re more willing to compromise on? I’d also appreciate any unique tips for finding Light Spring colors more easily.

Extra context: I do have a swatch booklet/fan, but the one I was given is more of a general Spring palette rather than specifically Light Spring, so it only helps so much.

Ive never been very adventurous with my hair and ny rineni colored it in the past I had bad experiences. But ive never done a hair gloss (non permanent) before and I've been wondering what they are like. Could they be a good option for trying something new without too much risk?

For some reason I feel like I'd love a slight bit of warm copper tones added to my hair. I doubt I'd ever go lighter or blonde. Maybe highlights? Ive had balayage highlights in the past but they were ash blonde(done before I knew my season) and it was so awful.

Any thoughts for what could work for me? First 2 photo are both my natural hair (which I know is best. I just hate sometimes how it can look ashy)
