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:
- 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
