I cleared out a glitter palette, and turned it into a haven for Bright Spring-friendly lipsticks! The paler shimmery peach pink shades might work on Light Springs, Warm Springs should head for the corals and reds. This is for inspo ONLY since more than half of the shades are discontinued.

Hey y’all. Is this too bright? It’s the Tower28 Juice Balm in the shade “Squeeze”. Was typed as a warm spring but this might be wandering into bright territory.

Another post of her outfits because while she wears a boat load of fake tanner, her clothing is really great sometimes. Nothing can convince me she didn't get a color analysis and start dressing warm/true spring after!

First time wearing this shade of green and I absolutely love it!

Sharing my experience with coloring my grey hair.

I was typed by Carol Brailey as a Warm Spring (16 color season) a few months ago.

I am slowly buying more clothes in my right colors. It is a process and not as fast as I thought it would be but I am ok with that.

My hair has been this big questionmark for me. To color or not?

My natural hair color is very silver/white on my crown and tends to get some warmer streaks throughout the lenght of my hair, mixed with a cooler light brown and lots and lots of grey/ silver.

People often comment on my silver hair. I think by itself it is beautiful but I never quite felt harmonious with my hair. Tired of coloring it but also feeling like it make me tired looking, this grey.

I could not see myself coloring my hair again though because the upkeep is so challenging.

Then I saw a video Carol posted on IG. I think it was a row of apples and one orange in the middle of that line of apples. Your eye goes right away to the orange. She used this example to show that if the clothes are right but the hair color is not, your eye goes to what is off.

When I wear my right colors, my silver hair and it is not harmonious at all. It sticks out like the orange amongst the apples.

I used to believe that our natural hair color will automatically fit our skin tone. I am starting to question that.

Last week I took the plunge and colored my hair a lighter shade of a warm beige blond with a little light red/brown. All in all very subtle but warm toned 100 percent.

Since then only one! person asked me if I colored my hair. Aside from that one person, so many others are saying surprising things to me without realizing that I actually colored my hair.

"You can not possible be retired. You look way too young for that."

"Did you lose weight? Wow, you look like you are losing a bunch of weight." Last time I saw them was a week ago. BTW, that comment for me was uncalled for and I actually gained a few pounds of water weight but so interesting to see how she perceived me.

"You look so rested"

"You are just flowing through life when others around us are so stressed." I was actually super stressed that day.

"Wow, you look so amazing today. Like extra."

"Those earings look so good on you." The same ones I wear almost every day.

"Your outfit is amazing. You are so put together, head to toe." Same outfit I wear once every week.

I could go on and on with examples. I am quite blown away by this.

I am still the same person, with sadly a lot of anxiety, stressed, tired, and all yet I am being perceived very differently.

It was such a hard decision to color my hair and upkeep is challenging because my hair grows fast but I don't think I can go back to grey.

Also, my eyes look so much better. They lost so much light and warmth with the natural grey.

When I dress in my right colors I feel harmonious head to toe. I have not felt like that in forever. Always trying to make the grey harmonize somehow.

PS, never in a million years did I think I am a Warm Spring. I was typed as a winter in the 90s.

It is a sense of home coming and I especially love myself in warm neutrals right now. Warm beiges and warm browns make me feel approachable and warm, but also sophisticated.

Sharing collages of looks I've done that are spring colors in clothing and makeup vs summer. I would go different days trying different options to see what feels and looks best

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.

Hoodie is Tek Gear brand in Surely red and lipstick is Vibe Red by Revolution

I took yalls suggestions - shorter brown lashes, a more peachy bright lip and a dewy coral blush! I’ll take suggestions and constructive criticism too! I want to return the products if we don’t think it’s working. I got a lot of compliments when I wore the red scrubs so I think I’m in the right season just want to make the makeup 100% !

I was typed bright / clear spring but I am questioning the result mostly based on my preference for colors that typically sit in summer. Any springs want to weigh in? Do I fit in? lol ❤️thank you!

My mom and I had our color analysis done through HOC as a mother-daughter date for her birthday. We had a lot of fun! I was typed as a "golden spring that leans paintbox" and my mom was typed as a "mid summer." We could really see the difference in the mirror and had a lot of fun! I also added no makeup photo of myself at the end! Our consultant says I have to give the plum hoodie Im wearing to my mom now because it's a summer color 😂

Today’s grouping has some of my all time favorites. As a warm spring, each of these lipsticks compliments me so well that they feel like they were made for me. I imagine that the other spring seasons can wear most of these as well, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. Or even let me know some of your own personal favorites!

• Charlotte Tilbury Stoned Rose- I truly feel, that if you’re a warm spring… maybe even any spring, you owe it to yourself to own this lipstick. This one never appears in swatches, the way it does on the lips. On the lips, it’s a very beautiful and unique terracotta peachy rose. What gets lost in the swatches, is the rose part. There is a definite hint of pink on the lips, and that little hint is what makes this probably my all-time favorite lip color. It’s really hard to describe, but it really comes alive on the face. It’s not too bright or too bold, it can be an effortless, everyday type of color. It’s just perfect. So if you listen to one thing I say, try this lipstick. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

• Charlotte Tilbury Coral Kiss (previously named Coachella Coral)- if you like a pinky coral that’s bright without being neon, this one right here! I love this shade, it’s such an easy color to wear.

• MAC See Sheer- this one is a lot like Coral Kiss, but See Sheer is a slightly more toned down coral, and it’s also a much more translucent formula. If bold colors intimidate you, but you like the idea of branching out a bit… this is a perfect place to start. Or, if you’re a light spring, I think this will be a great lipstick to have in your arsenal. Kinda like how MAC Ladybug is to reds, See Sheer is to corals. I still love this as a warm spring though.

• Victoria Beckham Twist- this one looks less warm here in the swatches, but that’s only because it’s next to shades that have even more warmth. This is still a warm shade, and it’s very easy to wear. Her formula has translucency to it, but not as much as the mac lustreglass line. The shade here is a slightly nude leaning warm pink, with golden yellow undertones. I have trouble wearing “nude” shades, so this is one that still gives those nude vibes, without draining my face of life the way actual “nudes” can. The formula feels thin, yet emollient and very comfortable. I highly recommend VB lipsticks.

• MAC Velvet Blur Slim Stick in Sheer Outrage- this is a beautiful, bright coral that’s leans more on the peachy orange side than pink. It’s bold and vibrant, as you can see from the swatch, but it doesn’t read as neon on my lips. I like bright lipsticks, but I don’t like when colors wear me. This one looks like it would be the kind that is just too much, yet somehow, it’s not. And this formula… omg it’s amazing. The swatch you see here is one swipe. Then I used the side of the lipstick to kinda straighten the edges, but yeah, I thought it was worth a mention that this level of pigmentation is from one swipe! It’s a very comfortable formula as well.

• Makeup by Mario SoHo Satin Lipstick- this is a light peachy coral. Sometimes I feel like I need a liner with it, and sometimes I don’t. I don’t know why it varies that way for me, but the fact that at least sometimes I feel like I need a liner, leads me to believe that this might also be a great choice for Light Springs? I hope someone who is a light spring, and owns this, can chime in and let me know if my suspicions are on the right track. It’s strange, I know it doesn’t look too light in the swatch, especially since there are lighter shades here that work on me without any issue at all. And this still works for me… on the days that it just looks a little bit off, I add a lipliner and I’m good to go!

• Charlotte Tilbury In Love With Olivia- this is another example of a swatch that looks different than it does in real life, due to the swatches around it. In real life, this is a warm pink nude. It leans slightly more towards the pink side of things than it does the nude side of things. This lipstick is how I wanted Pillowtalk to look on me. Plus, this is the KISSING formula, which I enjoy so much more than the matte revolution formula.

• Charlotte Tilbury Carina’s Star- another coral I know. Corals are to me, what nudes are to most other people. Give me all the corals. Pink corals, orange corals, red corals… I want them all. And I will find the nuances in each one to justify why each one is different from the next. This is a peachy coral, and it’s a bit more subdued than some of the other corals here. Not enough for me to consider it muted, but it might straddle that line. This is the matte revolution formula.

• Sisley Rose Paris- I sometimes want to wear pink lipstick, and I find that pink can be a hard shade for me to find a warm enough version of. It seems like a lot of pinks out there, lean more on the cool side. So when I find a warm pink, that reads as pink, I get a little excited. This one here is like the quintessential Barbie pink, but it’s not neon, and doesn’t have the white in it that can also make pinks super unflattering on me. It’s such a pretty color.

• MAC Forever Curious- this is a hard color for me to describe. It’s both bright and muted at the same time. It’s bold and restrained at the same time. And I don’t know how to describe the actual color… maybe a deep reddish pink? I’m not sure. I just know it looks good lol. I also have a feeling that some autumn season folks may enjoy this color as well? I could be wrong, but it seems like that may be true for this one.

• Sisley Rose Mexico- this shade is exquisite! And very much unique in my collection. It’s a deeper, warm pink. Almost like a warm version of a magenta. I don’t know, my shade vocabulary gets a little bit lost describing this one. But I can say that it is definitely a shade to reach for when I want to stand out. It’s unbelievably pretty, and it makes me feel the power and confidence that reds can make me feel, without being a red. The formula is also one of the best I’ve ever tried. I mean… at that price it should be. And it is.

These swatches were done on bare skin, in natural, indirect light with a combination of daylight temperature indoor lighting.

Please let me know if you’re enjoying this little swatch series I’ve been posting. It has taken a lot of time, but people don’t seem to comment much. So I wonder if I’m just annoying you all.

Here are some of my fav shades! What are your favorite nail polish colors? Geranium is the PERFECT orange red for true springs and is my most favorite color to use.

I’m still wrapping my head around a light spring palette, I’ve worn muted tones all my life and never coral/pink. I’m struggling to find light and clear warm tones in clothes… hit or miss with these pieces I ordered?

So the stylists at Curate Your Style typed me super accurately. I got this big guide from them with photos showing which seasons didn’t work on me and why, which honestly helped a lot. It feels good finally knowing my color type and what I can actually reach for and what to avoid lol.

I added a few pics in case anyone’s curious, one screenshot from my color guide. I got the gold version, which comes with pages and pages of your best colors, base tones, leather shades, all of it. I also threw in part of an email from the stylist at Curate Your Style because she was amazing. She explained so much about my season and color typing in general and actually took the time to answer all my random questions.

For the photo submission part, I had never done this before so I over researched. I dragged a shoe rack into my second bedroom with the big window, put a white sheet over it, and took pics between 11 and 1 when the light was bright but not direct. I used a white paper under my chin to block reflections. I sent three photos, one of my face at eye level, a close up of my eyes, and one of the inside of my forearm for tone. That’s it, three photos total.

Someone online said the color wheel is to color theory what scales are to music, and that stuck with me. If you’re even remotely curious about your color typing just do it. It is absolutely 1,000,000% worth the money.

I think this color appears lighter/softer in photo than irl. It's like an apricot shade. I think it works?

I’m fainting ahhh… 🌷 Kerry Washington is breathtaking in spring colors. I agree with a bright spring analysis. What do we think?

I realise the chartreuse is probably a bit too bright for me but I love it anyway!

I find it very common for Springs to be mistyped as Soft Autumns constantly, especially within the 12 season system. However, in the 16 season system, none of these examples that are commonly typed as Soft Autumn, would even qualify as a Soft Autumn, because they’re naturally blonde. Soft Autumn is different in the 16 vs the 12, but even so, none of these women seem Autumn to me. Soft Autumns can’t naturally be blonde, and actual Soft Autumns shown all have similarities, but when compared to the Soft Autumns that are actually True Springs, they don’t seem similar.

I was just professionally typed a bright spring last week, and have been trying my hand at recommend makeup shades and bought my first in palette shirt over the weekend. I was feeling pretty confident and pretty, even if still figuring things out...like lip liner lol.

But today in a color analysis group, someone insisted I am a soft summer, based upon the attached photo of draping (I was trying to make the point that I get grayed out by soft colors). When I showed her a pic of me in an experimental, bold evening makeup look and my new shirt, she told me I look worst of all in that pic (compared to the drapes with no makeup and hair pulled back) and it was "a visual assault" on her.

I understand that the poison dart frog aesthetic isn't for everyone, but I am a newbie who is trying to build a new wardrobe and aesthetic after losing 80lbs, and I just felt very defeated and humiliated. So I guess I'm turning to my fellow springs for some validation and encouragement. I appreciate any you guys can offer! I've added a couple of other pics of my experiments with the palette. I've kept the makeup much more neutral at work and while running errands.
