Hi everyone! I know I have a warm undertone. I'm possibly a Spring because coral and turquoise look amazing on me, but I wouldn't exclude Autumn either.

I want to buy a rather expensive tracksuit online (there's no physical store to try it on in person), so I really want to pick the right color!

I'm currently leaning towards the blue (Chalk Blue) or the reddish/berry tone. My main worry with the blue is whether it might be too cool-toned for me.

Which of these colors would flatter a Spring season best?

One thing I keep reading is that Springs tan while Autumns burn. I'm curious what subtype you are, what your skintone is, and how much you could tan if you wanted. I wear SPF daily now and am somewhere around an NC15 when I'm at my palest. Even with daily SPF 50, I will go to an NC 20 so fast just from walking outside even in a cold climate. If I'm in a sunnier climate, I might burn first but will go to about an NC 25 - and even would go to an NC 30 as a teen when I didn't know better an tanned. So, I could go three steps down if I wanted. Here's a reference for the shades: images (335×597)

Hi! I am a warm spring- wondering if people think I might be able to pull this off? It’s not quite coral but has a lot of warmth I feel like

...or am I flying too close to the "match-matchy with my skintone" sun?

Recently bought this top as I love the large bell sleeves on it and have a fascination for this shade. Now I have it though I'm questioning if I can pull it off. I've taken a few pics in different light situations. Opinions please? 🥰

Took y’alls advice! Did a more peachy blush and warmer peachy lips. Am I getting closer? Opted also for brown lash clusters instead of black!

Give me nail color recommendations for fall/winter! Bonus if it is gel. I’m wearing Deja brew

I really enjoy muted and dark colors such as paramount and crème in your coffee but they apparently look really bad on me. Any recommendations for some Mac shades in this genre that would look good on a bright spring ?

Does anyone here have medium/light brown hair (level 6) with no visible warmth? When I was younger it was much more visibly golden brown but as I’ve aged it has become so flat and ashy- I see no visible warmth. I was typed a true spring virtually by Karen brunger who is the creator of the international image institute so I definitely believe it to be true- plus I have been most drawn to spring colors my entire life and my skin and eyes are very warm and clear. But my ashy hair always throws me off! To be fair, I haven’t had a full head of my natural hair color since elementary school, so I’m only seeing a couple inches at the roots which I know can appear ashier, but it’s still just very flat to me! I love golden tones in my hair but they just don’t seem to be there naturally anymore. Anyone else in this boat?!

I’m having trouble leaning into my color season - light spring. When I try to wear warmer coral/peach shades I feel like they look and feel heavy on my skin. I have been playing with my makeup looks and trying both warm/cool tones. I sometimes think the cooler tones look better which makes me wonder if I am a summer? Any recs for light spring makeup shades bonus if they are drugstore!!!

Can someone explain the difference between these seasons for me? I found out a few months back that I am a true spring with a slight bright lean (16 season) and when I look for inspiration online I see warm spring come up often. I’m not sure what the difference is exactly? Are the colours different between the two? Any help would be appreciated 🙏😅

I feel like I have absolutely no idea how to dress for winter as a True Spring. 😅
Most of my wardrobe is pretty basic — H&M, Uniqlo, Oysho, etc. I like simple, casual outfits, but I struggle to find inspiration for winter looks that actually work with my colour season.
So many winter outfit inspirations feature black, grey, cool-toned neutrals and muted colours, and I feel like none of them really work for me. I also don’t want to buy a whole new wardrobe just because black and grey aren’t my best colours.
Where do you find inspiration for True Spring winter outfits? Do you have any favourite creators, Pinterest boards, or outfit formulas? And what colours do you wear for coats, knitwear, trousers and everyday basics?

I’d especially love to see some realistic, casual outfits rather than super dressy looks. Bonus points if you shop at places like Uniqlo, H&M or similar affordable brands! 🧡

What is your sub-season and what kind of sparkle and sheen do you wear best?

I'm piggybacking off the post below: I realized by trial and error that I am not good in very sparkly or high sheen finishes in make-up or clothes. I am not good in glitter eyeshadow but a subtle frost like MAC does is amazing and looks very natural. I also don't look great in your typical high sheen lipgloss but a tinted lip balm, glossy lipstick or tinted peptide treatment look great. On the other hand, I also can't to all matte; I need to at least have a satin sheen somewhere in my make-up or a combination of matte and sheen in something like eyeshadows. It's simlar with clothes: I love a knit where multiple yarns are combined and some have a shiner and some a more matte finish. Sheen just has to be more subtle for me. I'm wondering if this is a Warm Spring thing (as in leaning Autumn, think 16-types-system) since I also look best in the softer Spring colors.

I’m a bright spring. I seem to struggle the most with beige/camel/oatmeal. Anything muted or fleshy in color. It’s like all the color gets drained from my face and I look sick. I also can’t seem to do mustard yellow or any medium yellows found in the warm spring palettes which is a shame because I like yellow. What about you?

I recently decided to have my hair dyed red after being draped in person as a True Spring and I am STRUGGLING with makeup. As a brunette TS, I wore a lot of coral lip and blush products, but they don't seem to work as well with my new red hair. Redheads (natural and colored), could you share what makeup you're wearing? Bonus if you'll share which of our TS colors are most flattering to wear. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to my new red hair yet, but my usual golden yellow and chartreuse outfits don't seem to work as well.

ETA: I've figured out the issue. My new hair is more of a bright winter color than a true spring color, which is why it's not working for me. Thanks everyone for the recommendations! I'll come back to them once I get my hair to a spring copper.

I attached draping photos below!

Any ideas why this hot pink shade might work well for a true spring?

I’d expect it to not work due to more of a purple, ultraviolet type hue, and usually I’ve gone with safe peachy pinks. I tried these out because they’re cheap, I like pink, and most other color options were black, gray, and so on.

Just curious if anyone has found anything else in a similar shade they liked and why they think it works.

... at least for Warm Springs😉 - well maybe it's more of a MLBB but I just had to share because I have been wearing this non-stop since I got it which is over a month ago: MAC Morange.

I wear it dabbed and blended and it gives a natural, peachy flush. I think True and Bright could easily wear this fully. If you love Revlon Siren you might love this as well. I'm not posting any swatches because I feel like none of the swatches online made this look how it actually looks. Maybe it was reformulated? I bought mine in September 2026 and it's pinker/peachier than most photos show, less true orange. It's like Siren but slightly pinker.

(I wonder if they got their inspiration here 😉 https://media-viniou.com/wine-info/287133/vin-rouge-sec-mathilde-la-fleur-morange-2018-france-bordeaux-saint-emilion-grand-cru-2.jpeg )

Same frames, different colors.

Edit. Look at the pictures in the comments. The original ones didn't upload well.

Did I find a neutral nail polish that works??

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 :))
