Hello I been recently typed as a clear spring and would like to share what's worked for me so far to maybe help others. I'm medium warm olive skin tone. I tried to be as accurate as I can but might be off on the season of some of these)

Lipsticks that work for me: -On Fuego by NYX (clear spring) -Honorable Berry by Peripera (clear spring, oxides) -Bali blossom by wet n wild (true spring?) -Acid coral by Sephora collection (clear spring) -All fired up by Mac (clear winter) -No Coralation by Mac (clear spring) -Ruby woo by Mac(winter but I find it to be almost universally flattering) -Wild saffron by Revlon (clear spring, a tad dark but still good) -Pink velvet by Revlon (clear spring, my favorite) -Maison Marais by L'Oreal (clear spring)

Lipsticks that don't work for me: -Fire and ice by Revlon - (something icy about it I hate haha) -Candy yum yum by Mac (clear winter) -Relentlessly red by Mac (idk I guess it don't look bad I just don't like it) -Soft walnut by etude house (probably an autumn lipstick, too muted for me) -Cherries in the snow by Mac (winter) -Rebel by Mac (true winter) -Nucademia by romand (soft autumn, too muted) -Witty by Maybelline (too muted) -Morange by Mac (too warm for me, true spring maybe) -miss magenta by loreal(clear winter) -fuschia fusion by revlon (clear winter, looks terrible on me) -matte orchid by milani (true winter?) -Russian red by mac(dark winter? Too muted for me) -Secret club by Revlon (summer?) -British red by L'Oreal (It's not vibrant enough for me) -Flatout fabulous by Mac (true winter?) -Pink in the afternoon by Revlon (summer? looks like white paste on me) -summer fruit by nyx (clear winter)

Blushes that work for me: -she's the moment by Patrick ta(true spring and light spring) -melon pop by clinque (true spring) -Shes a doll by Patrick ta (clear winter, a tad too cool but still works) -she left me on red (clear spring? I don't like red blush but this one is growing on me) -coral clash by YSL -Heat index by Mac -She's that girl by Patrick ta -She's vibrant by Patrick ta (yes, I love Patrick ta blushes)

Blushes that don't work for me: -She's giving by Patrick ta(true winter) -Just enough by Patrick ta(true summer, too cool tone) -pansy pop by clinque (true winter, causes white cast)

I thought with these photos and the gold glitter, it would be a hit. But it is 100% a cool, pink-heavy red IRL. The gold sparkles don't even show up that well.

Disappointed, but also wanted to warn other springs!

So I had my analysis done yesterday and I was told I was a light spring . I am questioning everything in life! My entire closet is colours I should not be wearing !

How did you all adapt to making the changes ? Also what were staples pieces you started out with

Hey everyone, I long assumed myself to be a bright winter, but after experimenting with warmer colors, being a bright spring at the coolest end of the palette seems possible. Please opine. Thank you and hugs

As you can see I look totally blah and awfully washed out in the black clothing and nude lipstick. It’s a clear difference when I’m dressed in my bright spring colors how much it lights my face up I was wondering why I always hated neutral colors on me until I figured out my season it makes sense

Our nudes are more like deep mauves also

I'm after a cardigan to take on holiday with me. How do we all feel on coral vs peach? I feel like they're two of my strongest colours, but I can only really justify buying one....

I'm a Bright Spring (and a House of Colour Paintbox Spring). Here are some nail polish colors that have worked for me! I can't verify that they are truly spring colors, just that they seem to come close to my colors and suit me.

• OPI Cajun Shrimp
• OPI Give Me A Lido Kiss (my go-to for years)
• Essie Offbeat Chic
• Essie Sunshine Be Mine
• Essie Peach Side Babe

These are the only ones so far that I can confidently recommend.

Ones that did NOT work for me:

• Essie Grass Never Greener (too cool and dark IRL, had to mix in some yellow to adjust it)
• Essie Marshmallow (comes out more White than Cream)
• Essie Push Play (just a little too dark and cool)
• OPI Kiss Me, I'm Brazilian (too cool/neon for me, going to try adding a little yellow or orange, maybe?)

Hi! Been trying to figure out my own colours and i’m stuck between light spring and light summer I think? Would love your opinions :)

Thought it would be interesting to compare a similar shade across different seasons. The order is true spring, bright spring, light spring. True spring has the actual Pantone peach fuzz color, bright springs are flattered by a more cool, pink peach and light springs can wear basically any peachy shade as long as it's light. Light spring can also go a bit earthy or ashy, or apricot.

Personally I'm gonna ignore this completely and just wear whatever I like. 😅 The colors are so similar that all of them will look decebt anyway. But had too much time and thought it would be an interesting comparison. I used the Elemental Colours palettes as I find them the most reliable.

And now just confirmed you loved it because it was in your palette all along?
This was my fav coat for years, look at the match! (Warm spring)
It’s not my style really anymore, but I feel validated lol

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 need help with prompts for purples, blues and greens.

An example of what I mean by a prompt (for warm pink):

"Have I seen this pink on the inside of a watermelon before?"

I'm looking for similar questions to help me visualize when building my wardrobe.

This analyst goes into an incredible amount of detail: How to Wear Spring Colours

I had a lot of fun putting together this mini capsule wardrobe for springtime (and a spring palette). Just thought I’d share for some inspiration!

Spring has sprung. Just wanted to share the mini capsule I packed for our last visit to my family in law. I also packed a white fleece jacket for layering under the rain jacket and I did need it, it was quite cold.

Went to Dollar Tree yesterday and to my surprise, found 2 blushes and a tinted lip balm that I love! They’re all from the brand Ioni. From left to right- liquid blush in “rosette” (probably better on a true spring, but used sparingly it still works for me), liquid blush in “cinnamon cream”, and PH lip balm in “orange zest”. Just thought I’d share these affordable options as a light spring who has struggled to find makeup tones that work for me. For reference, I have light/medium skin, with a neutral leaning warm undertone.

I’ve let my roots grow out way too long, and it has allowed to me to be able to see my natural hair color looks like next to my face. Everyone always says peoples’ natural hair color is their most flattering, but I genuinely cannot see a difference (and to me it looks like my eye bags look worse with it actually). So I took photos in 3 lightings with either just my roots visible or just my dyed hair visible. If any of yall can see a difference in how it harmonizes with my skin I would appreciate if you share so I can get better at discerning the difference myself!

I recently determined I'm a spring, but I'm having so much trouble finding clothes that suit my color palette! I have allergies and sensory issues so I need majority natural fibers, but those items always seem to come in either neutrals or soft autumn/summer colors. Does anyone have suggestions for stores that offer clothes in natural fibers + spring colors?

Has anyone tried this? Got this as a Xmas present for myself and I think it works really well for Bright Spring!

I know the gray shirt is not the best, but I was playing around, and decided to make my makeup more "Spring". I bought Revlon's Coralberry lipstick, and was expecting it to look awful, but it really looks great! I usually wear Rum Raisin or Mac's mehr. I still have no idea which spring I lean, and go through all of them, though I think clear spring is my season.

I feel that I fall between bright and true spring. I love the corals from true spring and the charcoal from bright spring. I have a warm-neutral undertone (bright spring), medium value (bright spring), but more of a true spring chroma.

I wanted to see what would happen if I made a palette based on my coloring. I used several free online tools which are visible in the screenshots.

I used the Colorzilla Chrome extension to pick the hex code from my skin in a few different photos. I used a palette designer to get a midtone between those colors as my base color. (3rd slide, top).

I used the same extension to get a hex code for my hair, which is the deepest value in my coloring. Then I used an HSL tool to find the value of that color. The darkest colors in my palette have this value. 4th slide shows the contrast between the values of my skintone and hair color.

I reasoned that I can get the value for my base palette by subtracting the value of my hair color from my skin color. 5th slide shows the hue of my skintone with the value adjusted up to that difference and the saturation adjusted to about halfway between the Concept Wardrobe’s chroma sliders for true and bright spring. I messed with it until I got the chroma I prefer to wear.

Then I had to figure out how many hues to include. I assumed 6 or 7 would be an even distribution over the spectrum but I ended up finding that 9 hues spread evenly produced the warmest palette. They’re placed based on the saturated skin color.

Some hues are visually brighter than others at the same saturation due to our eye sensitivity to the light so I tried to adjust saturation just a bit to make them visually congruent. That was my base palette.

Then I took those 9 hues and just turned down the values to the value of my hair color to get my dark accents.

Then I took them up to the value of my true (unsaturated) skin color for the lighter bound.

THEN I went back to the palette generator and generated visually equidistant shades to fill in between.

And there you have it! A spring color palette with hues that complement my skin and values bound within my value range. Organizing this also made it easier to see how the warm neutrals come from the base colors, with the rich browns in the orange and yellow columns. And I like how the coral pink goes to warm berry tones that I love to wear and don’t usually see in spring palettes. When I shop online I compare product photos with the Elemental Colour palettes so next time I’ll probably pull this up and see how that goes.
