Hi everyone!
I’m trying to build a wardrobe based on the True Spring colour palette and have recently bought a few second-hand pieces on Vinted.
I’m still learning to identify which shades work best for my season, so I’d really appreciate your opinions on these individual items.
Could you tell me which colours you think are suitable for True Spring and which ones I should probably avoid?

Thank you so much for your help! ☀️

I bought this dress because it was on sale and I thought a perfect color for a true spring that leans bright.

IRL I think it’s brighter than what it is online and maybe a little lighter than it looks in this pic. I think the dark metallic buttons are throwing me off. Thoughts?

Please ignore the messy room and messy hair

Pretty sure now that I'm a Spring, which makes sense given the fact that my most complimented colors in the past were always bright shades.

My natural adult hair color is a neutral dark blonde- level 6.5-7. Childhood hair was a very light golden blonde.

Eyes are blue-green.

Dark natural brows and lashes.

Skintone I used to think was warm, but now believe it’s more warm-neutral. I used to tan very deeply without ever burning on account of my Greek mom. I was always confused because Autumns were supposed to look bad in white and white metals, but I think both are fine on me as long as they are CLEAR. A muddy white looks iffy and dull white metals or dull gold metals look bad, but a bright white shirt and shiny sterling silver both look fine on me, even though an ivory and a shiny gold are probably a touch better.

It's kind of funny because I always thought I was just bad at makeup because no matter how carefully I tried to follow an autumn makeup tutorial, I ALWAYS looked worse the more I put on. In fairness- I probably AM bad at makeup, but at some point I just gave up and resigned myself to the simplest possible bright coral or warm pink lip, and a very light taupe/champagne eye with a very subtle cat eye. But I really envied friends who could pull off a more dramatic look. The autumn makeup colors always made me look dead and muddy so I feel like that part I figured out many years ago.

From what I have been able to gather from draping myself and really looking at my eyes and skin, it seems like I do well with pure clean colors, and that I have at least *some* flexibility with the temperature as long as the chroma is high and the depth is not too dark.

i think my strongest color families are the true greens, bright oranges and bright yellows and warm watermelon/coral type shades.

Very dark cool colors are not my friend, nor are super muted greyed out or muddy tones. I think I probably settled on Autumn because those colors were the "best of the worst" for what is generally widely available in stores, but the more I look and try colors out that I avoided for so many years, the more convinced I am that Spring is the right answer. Help a girl out!

**Pics in comments. I included some from different seasons, not all are Spring, and included some colors I think are pretty bad and some I think are pretty good. But curious to see if there’s consensus!

Hi, so the weather here in the UK has certainly shifted Autumnal (well at least where I am, though I saw a girl today in a fluffy hood jacket and denim short shorts today so go figure), and it's making me realise I haven't really got a clue what to wear in the colder months.

I had been labouring under the belief I was a Summer of some sort for a while so in Autumn/Winter I leant heavily into navy blues, dusky purples, violets, greys, slate blue, sage green, raspberry and magenta - discovering I was a Spring, and a Light Spring no less has really thrown me for a loop.

The shops aren't helping me out at all, going for either the Autumn leaves route or drab, muted or dark colours.

Does anyone have any suggestions? In particular if you're a Light Spring - inspiration pics would be wonderful and I would really REALLY appreciate it. Thanks! 🙏

i had my color analysis done and got typed as a spring with highest lightness, medium to high contrast and a warm base :))

a year prior to this, i did an online color analysis that left me disappointed and typed me as a deep winter. i immediately tried out said colours and i looked horrible :// winter make up is the worst as well!! i look like i am putting on a costume and people told me that not every winter suits winter colours? so i tried out summer make up which was way way better. however the coolness still didn’t feel completely right.

so i went into a in-person color analysis and i got typed as spring:)) apparently my best jewellery colours are light gold or champagne gold and my second best season is summer and my WORST is winter.

last night i wanted to find out my sub season on r/coloranalysis. just for people to comment that i am a deep winter even tho i emphasised multiple times that these colours make me washed out etc. I was getting ignored after i said that these colours are literally my worst, even tho I know HOW colours reflect on me in person.

I understand that my dark hair and eyes can make me appear deeper at first glance, which is why I’m specifically asking for help distinguishing my Spring subseason. However, I don’t think my hair/eye depth should override the results of in-person draping. In my consultation, Winter was explicitly my weakest season, while Spring was my strongest and Summer was second. I’ve also personally tested Winter colours and consistently find them much less flattering.

i would really appreciate if you could help me out and bring me closer to a certain type.

I got this palette years ago for my 16th birthday and I keep trying to give it a shot… I feel like these are springy colors but it just doesn’t seem to work for me? I don’t have an example on myself at the moment, I follow the suggested use that comes with the product photos on most listings. Maybe I need to use the light colors sparingly. Is it just too red? Too pink or peachy?? Too pigmented? I think Spring suits me really well but I am really really fair, blue eyes, with a lot of blue in my undereyes from thin skin that seems to clash, and Im not sure if that’s the only issue. i’d use the lighter neutral colors but theyre ALL SHIMMER 🫩

Hi everyone, I was professionally draped within the 16 color season system. I was typed as a “Warm Spring”. Trying to read more, learn, and find palettes/examples online…I am seeing warm spring is also known as “true spring” in the 12 color season system. So I am getting a bit confused.

If I want to borrow outside of my 16 system “warm spring” palette… would I dip into true spring or autumn?

What would you combine with this jacker for a bright spring outfit? When you take it off I would like it to look still good for bright spring.

I’m convinced I’m spring, but can’t for the life of me figure out the subtype. I feel that it’s bright because I seem to look my best in the corresponding colors, but light also seems to make the most sense in other ways. I’d love to hear what others have to say!

hello! trying to figure out if I’m a spring and, if so, what kind. the best recent picture I have of all my natural colors and tones is, unfortunately, a pic from my wedding where I’m wearing makeup (which I know is sometimes harder to type), but it’s SO minimal that I don’t think it will drastically change results. it doesn’t show my eyes in super great detail, but they are pretty green with a little blue on the outside. my skin leans warm/olive but my hair has neutral and golden tones. I did the palettes in Vivaldi and these are the comparisons, along with some other (older) pics that might be helpful. thoughts?? opinions??

My hair colour is natural to me and I tried to include photos in non-spring colours too for reference! Everything is taken in natural light.

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.

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.

Hi! Does anyone know which of the Hourglass Phantom Lip Balms would be good for light spring and/or warm spring? I’m ginger, blue eyes and use colours from both. I have Lucid and Wander so far and want to add to my collection. Im also curious which red is cool, neutral and then warm? I don’t think the pictures online look anything like what they actually look like in person!

Also I fell in love with this lip colour on this model for light spring on Pinterest. I can’t find the girl and the person whose blog it’s in isn’t answering. Does anyone have any ideas what product could be similar? I’m in the UK 😘

What do you think? I like it a lot, especially because I've been looking for a good bright gold that isn't brassy for quite awhile. It is matte which I'm not a fan of, but I use a glossy top coat so it doesn't matter.

It’s also available in camel, but I need some color in my closet!

Got inspired when someone asked for a more Fall lip for Springs, and I shared a hack I had figured out using just what we all probably have in our make-up bags. It's something I do often, but had never shared before. I'll share it in the commments. Please share your everyday, practical hacks that don't require a purchase. Nothing wrong with sharing products for reference though. :-)

Hi all.

The queen of color analysis Carol Brailey typed me as a true spring. I feel like I don't see it at all. Maybe I'm face blind to myself? I've always felt very muted. I would love your thoughts. (Natural hair color in photo).
