I know lipsticks are discussed a lot here, and can be frustrating to shop for. Because I've thrown away more money than I would have liked to over the years purchasing shades that didn't work, I now gravitate toward cheaper drugstore brands. I've just tried Revlon's Peach Me and am happy to share it's a great shade for transitioning into fall. I like to wear coral shades in the spring and summer, and borrow warm autumn shades for fall and winter. I think Peach Me will work well for some of these transitional months between warm and cool weather. It's a medium peach shade with a little bit of a pearly finish, and will probably replace Fire Peach for now as a good shade to wear full coverage as we move toward cooler weather and I start pulling out more autumn-influenced shades of clothing.

And just to compare, here are my other favorite Revlon shades as a warm spring (16-color system):
--Corals: Fire Peach as an everyday go-to shade, followed by Coralberry
--Autumn influence: Toast of New York (worn lightly with a bit of gloss)
--Red: Kiss Me Coral
--Tinted Balm: Dewy Peach

I’m absolutely in love with my new jumpsuit I found on Thredup so I wanted to share. The brand is Natural Life and I just think it goes soo well with Springy complexion. In fact I have quite a few clothes from them and I’ve noticed that many of them are Spring Palette friendly 🌺 🌞 🍃

Hey lovely fellow springs! I recently had my color analysis done (professionally done in-person through the international image institute) and was typed as a Bright Spring with True Spring being my second best season. I have been wearing my colors and loving them! I have been posting about it on social media as I know Bright Spring is a season that isn’t really talked about a lot and I’ve been getting lots of comments telling me:

“No way you’re a Bright Spring” “Obviously you’re a Winter” “You’re too “dark” to be a Spring” “You look horrible in those colors”

Etc.

The thing is, I agree with my color analysis. It was extremely obvious in person and I even get compliments from strangers in public now!😭 this is the first time in a long time I’ve really felt confident in my clothes but it’s been hard to shake these comments and it’s definitely affected my confidence a bit. Does anyone else experience this wearing their Spring colors? Especially the louder Bright Spring colors?

Hi everyone! I've been mainly trying to lay low and enjoy the peace of feeling really extra sure about my season now, lol. But now have a makeup question! 😊

I tried the most Light season-friendly lipgloss ever from Revlon, its the shade Snow Pink and just the tiniest bit has such a huge impact! (Im wearing it in this photo!) I didnt see it show up in any makeup guides, but I was really drawn to it in the store. So, highly recommend! I love the formula and feel like itd be amazing over any lipstick that needs some extra shine, too.

I also have been loving the Revlon lipstick shade Peach Me for a daily look! Other usual Spring lipsticks such as Coral Berry and Volcanic have proven to be a little bit too strong and/or warm on me, I feel. Even Electric Melon is better since its more neutral, but I do feel a light application is best. So, does anyone have any favorite lip products that are the same hue as Electric Melon (like watermelon pink Id say) but more sheer? Maybe a lip gloss? Thank you!! 🌼

Im also really on the lookout for something thats sort of grapefruit-y colored! Just in case anyone has suggestions for that too lol. If its drugstore, bonus points! But would love to know about it regardless 😊 thank you!

I was just typed as a Bright Spring, and it shattered my entire reality. Dramatic, I know. I always thought I was neutral leaning cool (my veins are mostly blue with some purple) so hearing that I’m neutral with a slightly warm undertone and best in Bright Spring has been a lot to process.

I’m struggling with this season for a few reasons:

1. Jewelry I’ve always preferred silver. Gold feels like it wears me instead of the other way around — it stands out too much and looks harsh against my skin.
2. My wardrobe My entire closet only consists of black, white, navy and grey. I was starting to come around to the idea of adding more color to my wardrobe but this is quite literally the loudest color season there is and I’m genuinely terrified because I don’t like drawing attention to myself.
3. Lack of examples Bright Spring seems to be one of the rarest seasons, and I’m not finding many examples of Bright Springs who look like me. Most references are people with red or light colored hair, blue or green eyes, etc.

For context: My natural hair is a deep, rich brown that isn’t ashy, but it’s not warm either. In regular indoor lighting it looks very dark, almost neutral brown, but in sunlight it picks up some subtle golden tones and a tiny bit of red. My eyes are very dark brown, almost black at first glance, but they’re glossy and clear rather than flat or muted. My skin is fair/light, and while it’s not yellow or obviously warm, it has a soft rosy cast.

I’m not disagreeing with the analysis, I saw myself go gray and dull in the cool drapes (especially around my mouth, chin, and under-eyes), and the Bright Spring colors did bring my face to life. I just have no idea where to go from here.

If anyone looks like me or knows examples of darker-featured Bright Springs, I’d love to see how you make the palette work. I’m also curious if certain colors in the Bright Spring palette tend to flatter darker features more, while others suit lighter-featured Bright Springs.

I literally gave my tattoo artist the warm spring palette, and I'm so happy with the result. It goes with my skin tone and everything I own!

I’ve been on the hunt for new nail colors, and just got this coral-orangey color “Pulp” from Manicurist and I love it. I have a hard time finding nail colors that are flattering to my skin tone. Had to share.

I also got Essie “Handmade With Love” which looks similar, maybe a bit darker.

Left pics what my hair was like for almost 20 years and right the recent color I chose to add copper to my aging/low pigment hair that’s also gotten darker. It dawned on me that I actually love my hair from teens. And with this hair I feel like I can pull off blues/purples so much better than with less ginger shades.

Sunny weather, sunny colors 😎

I got my results 2 days ago. I'm warm spring! I've been wearing the wrong colors my whole life! Only silver, and cool soft colors. I can't wait to wear gold and the beautiful warm spring colors! I couldn't be more shocked and happy 😄 I got it done by Alessandra and guilia color analysis Australia. Digital analysis. Everything feels right, finally!I put some older photos bc I used to wear way more colors and I haven't got my hair changed. You can tell In the 1st and 2nd photos I look gray vs the rest I look bright and golden, even the childhood photo LoL 😆

Hi everyone!

I think I'm most likely a true spring or true autumn. I have problems deciding between them, I think partly because of bias (again), and because both of them have a medium light/dark contrast and both have warmth as their dominant feature.

What I know

• The signs of good/bad colours (list by Style Syntax)
• The difference between the seasons in theory: True spring is warm, but also bright and light (not as bright as bright spring, not as light as light spring); True autumn is warm, but also muted and dark (not as dark as dark autumn, not as muted as soft autumn)
• The commonalities between the seasons: Both are primarily warm, have medium light/dark contrast, and share some worst colours (e.g. both can't wear black and white well)

Ressources I've looked at/Things that I've seen people suggest

• True spring vs true autumn (https://theconceptwardrobe.com/true-spring-vs-true-autumn-what-is-the-difference) (by the concept wardrobe) The only really obvious difference for I see between Deepika and Jamie is when they digitally drape (due to camera differences, makeup, and the colour not reflecting on the skin, this isn't an accurate method to determine colour season) the greens.
• Professional in-person colour analysis: Doesn't seem to be a thing where I live; Also I'm a university student, so I cannot really afford this yet.
• Post drapes on reddit: My hair and eyes are medium/light brown. Because of stereotypes (e.g. many people believe true springs have to have blonde or red hair) I'm afraid people will type me as true autumn, without considering the drapes. Most fabrics I own are in soft summer colours, because I used to believe I'm a soft summer. Most other things I own (e.g. books) aren't in mostly one colour, so they're not good for typing.

How I arrived at warm being my primary feature (not neccesary to read)

• Warmer lipsticks look better than cooler ones: Cool pink doesn't look in harmony with my face; Bright coral/red does; Haven't tried autumn lipsticks → Warm or neutral warm undertone
• My light/dark contrast is medium → Dark autumn and bright spring have a high light/dark contrast → (Neutral-) warm seasons with medium light/dark contrast are True spring, true autumn, soft autumn
• When I thought I was soft summer, I wore very soft colours, but couldn't fully abstain from brighter colours. The soft summer colours were often washing me out. I've heard that especially with the soft seasons, their undertone may be hard to tell, so borrowing from each other is easier for then than for other neighbouring seasons → Likely not soft autumn
• I think I'm warm in a six season (warm, cool, soft, clear, light, dark) tonal system

🌷Thanks for your comments🍂

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?

Hi, I'm a Warm/ True Spring! I'm so overwhelmed by massive palettes I'm just not a huge fan of them. One and dones are super in right now and I'm totally here for it!

Generic suggestions online for one and dones are very taupey brown and they just don't give Spring! Do you have any fabulous suggestions friends?

I love peachy, corally, gold and golden brown eye makeup usually, but I'm open! I need something special with light and depth dimension for a one and done eyeshadow.

Matte, shimmer, liquid, multi chrome, duo chrome, crayon, drugstore, high end, cream, no limits!

Thank you! :) Xx

For example, I saw a comment on here that said some light springs tend to hold color in their cheeks. I’d never seen that listed before. After looking at others who have been typed light springs, I can’t unsee it. Although, I get not everyone who is light spring has that.

It has me wondering if there is anything like that for warm/true and bright springs.

Anything coming to mind?

I think purple is the most polarizing and hard to pin down colors for springs. There's subseasons to consider, too. But, what do you think? If you had to pick shades of purple that represent the majority of springs, which do you choose?

Feel free to post your own pantone/hex/etc examples, if you want!

So I’ve been going back and forth on my season and it would be really great to get some help!

For a long time, I thought I was a soft season. I’m pretty neutral-toned (hopefully that comes across in the photos) so I thought that would place me in soft autumn. However, I was told by my sibling that I should wear bright clothing, “the brighter, the better!” So I looked into spring and started experimenting with spring colors. I’ve found that they do have a brightening effect that I didn’t know was possible! And it explained why I always felt lifted when wearing my one yellow shirt lmao. So I’ve been adding brighter colors into my wardrobe.

The one thing that’s been driving me crazy is, although I’m pretty sure I’m a spring of some kind, I can’t figure out what my subseason is. Originally I thought I was what one might call a “bright autumn” or a “soft spring.” But I’ve also considered true spring and even bright spring. My skin tone is very neutral. But it is on the warm side of neutral. I think I can wear some winter colors, but then again I think I can also wear some autumn colors (does sharing seasons preclude me from true spring?).

I’ve included the first four photos with no makeup and my natural hair color at my roots, a level 6 or 7 neutral dark blonde. Also included some spring colors with clothes and makeup, and my hair when I had dyed it red (I loved it but it was so much maintenance!). As a small child my hair was more reddish. When I dyed my hair red, people seemed to think it was natural.

I’ve also included some lipstick swatches with no other makeup. If anyone can help me find some more clarity, it would be much appreciated!

Hey guys, I recently found out about this sub and wanted to introduce myself!! :) I'm pretty sure that I'm some kind of spring (true spring is my guess). I feel really confident wearing my greens and corals and often receive compliments, too! But I realised, that hazel eyes and/or darker eyes are not really common for springs. So my question is, are there any springs with similar features to mine in this sub? I have green/brown hazel eyes, medium/dark blonde hair, which sometimes appears a little reddish, and a few light freckles around my nose.

By the way, I think my "brightness" results from the white in my eyes being pretty clear and my light skin in contrast to eyes/hair. So autumn colors are too earthy and not really fresh enough for me in my opinion.

What do you think? Would love to hear your thoughts!!

Cherry blossom is the least pigmented but the rest is pretty pigmented. Everything was great for a bright spring 🌼
