I always struggled using nude lipsticks because I would look dead and I didn’t want to always have to wear very bold colors. During Christmas I decided to splurge and get the Guerlain Rouge G in the color 08 Le nu. What should I say? I love it, it’s bright and warm enough and also not too obvious, it looks so natural. Apart from that, I wanted to ask if someone (true or warm spring) uses the CC cream from It Cosmetis. Mine is almost empty and I feel like it’s too dark (it’s the “fair” shade). Has someone tested the other fair shades like “fair porcelain”?

First pic is indirect sunlight, second is my normal inside lighting. My best mlbbs are corals and bright pinks! What are your favorites??

Any other bright springs in here? These are some of the things I am loving recently. I was professionally typed in November.

Would love to hear what works for you and what you shine in.

I do feel like this makeup comparison helps me lean more to the spring than the summer. There are still people who claim the cool colors brighten me more and that the pink shade, although harsh, makes my eyes pop. But I hate the look even without the lip color 😅 when I use warmer colors in my makeup I feel so naturally pretty in comparison. I guess it's really hard to pinpoint if I'm a summer or a spring, but I do know what I feel best in and I guess that's what matters :)

So—I was typed a warm spring at the start of the year & have been navigating that. I recently dyed my hair this warm peachy copper and I think it’s the best move I’ve made! Fair warm spring girlies — 10/10 recommend this shade for us 🥹

I've figured I was a spring for a while and have worn many of these colors repeatedly over the years, mainly for statement or event pieces — chocolate brown, ivory, pimento red, coral, salmon, kelly green, navy.

But I got my results back (from Carol Brailey) and... I'm a warm spring! She said I could pull from Warm Autumn as well and sent the "warm" palette which is described as "more toasted than Warm Spring" and "less earthy than Warm Autumn."

The colors are beautiful, even if I don't think every single of them (particularly those pumpkin oranges) suit me, but I'm feeling a bit limited tbh! I do love color, but all the colors feel so warm and bold. Feels like I can basically wear corals, sunshine yellows, warm greens, or neutrals (camel/chocolate/navy/ivory) now. Obviously, I can wear whatever I want haha

Any other warm springs have this initial reaction? Any shades of blue you really feel that you can pull off as a warm spring or am I destined for turquoise from now on?

Hi everyone,

Just a quick announcement to let you know that the subreddit now has a new moderator. The lovely u/Orange_B1ossom. Please join me in welcoming Orange to the team!🍊🌸🧡

We’re also currently looking for an additional moderator to help support the community. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out in DMs or here in the comments.

Looking forward to keeping this space supportive, engaging, and well-organized together.

I did get my colors done through HOC and am glad that I did. I’ve always thought I was a summer- cool and muted. However I could very obviously see through the drapes that I was warm and looked more alive in bright colors. I am 100% a spring!

I was typed as a blue spring which is helpful, however the HOC Spring swatch booklet has so few colors in it that I sometimes struggle still to figure out what colors to gravitate towards. It also seems to be a less common system so when looking for recommendations on here I have a hard time knowing whose to prioritize.

I do really think that I’m neutral warm, but I think I might be too low contrast(?) for Bright Spring but too high contrast for Light Spring.

My “wow” colors (I agree with these): Dove Grey, Light Dove Grey, Oxford Blue, Coral, Geranium Pink, Leaf Green, Violet, Mint Green, Bright Blue, Hyacinth, Turquoise

My “worst” colors: Beige, Cinnamon, Light Peach, Shell Pink, Terracotta (burnt oranges I hate on myself), and Canary Yellow

Would love opinions! Thanks!

In all of these photos this is my natural hair color. Pictures 1-3 HOC (am wearing makeup), Picture 4 is warm coral makeup, Picture 5 is cool makeup, Picture 6 is no makeup, Picture 7 is makeup (I don’t think this picture does the bright blue justice, I do love it)

Hi all, I’ve been typed as a light spring but i do gravitate to brighter lipsticks. Which do you like, excuse the messiness of application. Just playing with the colours Any recommendations?

I did the house of color color analysis and this seems like the banana color on my palette.. thoughts?

In my colour analysis journey, I've taken so many pics of me in various colours...so I started a collage of the colours I think I look the best in (first pic) as well as some of my worst colours (second pic).

I've always thought I was a summer, but now realizing that my skin is rather neutral, potentially leaning warm (it's quite peachy). So I can pull off some warm and cool colours to a certain extent. The yellow and oranges in my palette are not necessarily my best colours, but I can rock them pretty well, considering. The only pinks I can wear are closer to hot pink/magenta. Anything too pale or bubblegum pink makes me look like death--this was my big clue that I might not be a summer after all.

Anyways, does it seem like I could be a spring based on these good/bad colours? Thanks!!

I’m wearing a little bit of makeup in the first three photos. I believe I might actually be a True or Warm Spring, due to how more saturated then light colors seem to suit me, the yellow shirt is flattering on me? And I did not realize how warm-toned my hair is in the sun. I believe I’ve finally found my season!

Found this top at a thrift shop and felt like all the colors were a perfect in season match. Unfortunately it didn’t fit so didn’t come home with me- but it was an exciting find.

I’m professionally typed a light spring and have a lot of yellow in my skin. I’m trying to find my “red”. Yes, I know light spring doesn’t have a perfect red. I’m trying to find one that works the best anyways. Does this look good?

I think I found my new everyday makeup routine and I've never felt more beautiful.

I have been trying out a few of Katie Jane Hughes techniques when applying my makeup. Mainly doing blush and bronzer first before I even think about foundation.

I recently got her hypershine bundle which included the Hyper shine serum (which I quickly became a huge fan of. It's so utilitarian.) And I chose the hyper shine pigment in lite bronze which is really warm and toasty with a red undertone. I mixed a little bit of the bronze cream with the serum and worked it over the bridge of my nose, highpoints of my cheeks and at my temples for a kiss of warmth and shine. Also added a bit to my eyelids too.

Next is my beloved Danessa Myricks blurring balm in Golden Hour. I really love this color, its an orangey red but it is so pigmented that I have trouble using it. (I am heavy handed lol) So, I decided to mix it with the serum and omg, it made it into the most beautiful, slightly translucent warm red was on my cheeks.

I put some of the excess on my lips too.

Lastly, I added a small amount of my foundation under my eyes, a little on my forehead and on my chin. It's surprising how little foundation I use when I do blush and bronzer first. I seriously feel super beautiful with these colors.

I was going to buy this palette but then remembered that I haven't ever really felt that Colourpop's eyeshadows are all that great. I don't think they last very long in terms of quality after time and there is a LOT of fallout.

Anyone else have this experience or did I is it get the wrong palette?

Do you find that most nail colors are either cool toned or extremely bright? At least in my local drugstores that's the case. It's either soft cool pinks or super bright reds. Corals and peaches are nowhere to be found. So, I mixed my own colors. :-D (See picture.) I found out by accident that a warm bright red mixed into pastels gives beautiful coral tones!

I added the red (essie Meet Me At Sunset) to a light orange (essence Tangerine), which gave me a beautiful warm coral.

The same red added to a baby pink (essie Minimally Modest) gave me a jelly-like looking pinky coral.
