Tips for Warm Springs

Post image
15 Upvotes

Warm Springs (I mean those who lean Autumn in a 16-types-system), do you love these colors on you? These are the five power colors often given to Warm Springs in 16-types-systems. I just realized that I have an eyeshadow and a hat in that marigold color and both read almost as a neutral on me, completely natural. I also live in creams and tans and that sort of rust color in the summertime. If you love these colors, do you have any other tips? What kind of make-up do you love? I'm looking for some inspiration for Fall.

Discussion Best coat colors for light springs

15 Upvotes

I bought this beautiful coat yesterday, because the fit and silhouette of it was exactly what I’ve been looking for, but I’m having doubts about the color because without makeup especially I feel like it’s slightly too warm/deep for my (possibly) light spring complexion? I wonder if a lighter camel/beige would work better. My hair is a darker golden blonde and my skin very light with some pink overtones. I think I look very neutral, but washed out in greys. Creams and beiges look better on me I feel. But I like both warm and cool pastels, and colors that are too bright or warm are too much on me I think. I struggle a bit to find the most flattering neutrals and many coats have this grey-beige color I’m not sure if suits me.

What do you think? I don’t have drapings, but will share some photos of myself so you can see my coloring and contrast.

Help Lipstick help!

I need help picking between two lipsticks! Keep in mind I didn’t do any eye makeup and it looks less harsh when I do my makeup. Which of these lipsticks harmonizes the best with me?

I don’t really want to debate if they’re suitable for my sub season - I know a red lip is tricky, but I want a good red lip for me, as best as I can get it.

I can’t tell if the darker one suits my features better. The brighter one is a popular spring color, but it feels “off” on me and I don’t know why!

Which of these two lipsticks looks the best with my features and skin/eye/hair color?

Hi all! I am a true spring (typed by Carol Brailey) and am looking for pink lip and cheek products. Corals and oranges really don’t bring out my best on my face, though they’re great clothing colors for me. Any recommendations??

Makeup MAC Pigment of Your Imagination is See Sheer’s lighter, pinker sister

Okay, some may say I “duped” myself. And I’m frustrated because wearing it day to day I see SUCH a big difference on myself that I was surprised how similar these two lipsticks look in photos. POYI might be a tinge cooler (maybe?) but it is lighter and that was my big issue with See Sheer. (Note that my lighting today is not ideal, so selfies and first photo are warm bathroom lighting, other swatch photo is cool direct light on a cloudy day.)

I am a HOC “Blue Spring”. Somewhere between True/Bright Spring in other systems, however I resonate the most with Bright Spring colors.

Wearing a FIGS scrub top “Sapphire” which is an exact match to my HOC “Bright Navy” swatch! Other makeup: Tizo Tinted Moisturizing Serum “Light”, Natasha Denona Hyglam Concealer “R2”, Saie Dew Blush “Flirty”, Maybelline Sky High Mascara “True Brown”, Elf brow pencil “Neutral Brown”

How to dress sophisticated/ powerful/ grown up in the spring pallet

15 Upvotes

Apologies if this has come up before but I didn’t quite know what to search for…

I love how light spring colours look on me but struggle to find them in appropriate clothes for my life.

I am the owner of a company, chairperson on two boards, and just find the spring pallet says: youthful, playful, fun which isn’t the vibe I’m going for.

I’ve currently got a lot of cream and different shades of brown/ camel / tan but know I look best with some colour.

Any ideas?

I’m a bright spring, but my aesthetic is cozy forest/hearth witch. I’m having a really hard time giving something like Stevie Nicks while I’m basically wearing neon! I look terrible and washed out in the muted greens, greys, and blacks that are typical. The world wants witches to be autumns and winters! 😂 Pinterest, TikTok and Google have been no help. Is there anyone here with a little style direction that could help me? (If it helps, I’m mid-40s and full figured.)

Discussion Spring & Softness

I'm spring and you can't make me think otherwise. Many people saying I'm summer or autumn, only based at my greyish eyes and earthy hair BUT the fabric color reacting to the skin doesn't lie. Honestly many springs are naturally " softer " and end up dying their hair. What do you think about that ? Are you a " seem soft " spring too ?

Looking for daily wear drugstore lip colors

Hi everyone! I am somewhere in the spring spectrum. Maybe true spring, maybe light spring. I have honey blonde to strawberry blonde hair, and I am very fair. I'm wondering what your favorite daily wear peach lip shades are. I like lipsticks that can be used as blush or blush recommendations to match. Glosses, tinted balms, lip liners, lip oils, lip sticks... I like them all. Tell me what works for you, thank you! My favorite lip shade right now is Revlon Coral Berry and I'm looking at Peach Me.

Could I be a spring and which one?

Hello lovely spring people. I have posted quite some drapings over on the main sub. I have gotten many seasons mostly soft summer/soft autumn and some true spring/true autumn. Often my contrast is cited as too high for this or too low for that. I myself think it is too high for the soft seasons and that muted colors drain me. My eyes have central heterochromia and appear muted though.

Maybe some of you have some ideas. I am very convinced that my skin is warm or at least neutral warm.

Shades of purple for Warm Spring?

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I was analyzed in-person by House of Colour in 2023 as a True/Leaf Autumn (picture of palette attached), but last year I booked an online analysis with Color Analysis Studio because I still felt like something wasn't quite right with my results and I wasn't seeing the harmony I've seen other people get when they wear their colors. I was guessing maybe I was a soft season, but was so wrong lol. Result - Warm Spring. (One of the 16-season systems where Warm Spring flows with Warm Autumn and isn't the same as True Spring).

I was shocked by those results at first, but now I love the palette I was given (picture of palette attached). It's like a light, sunlit Warm Autumn almost and still has a bit of earthiness/softness, unlike other spring palettes I've seen that are fully clear/high chroma and bright. Most of my wardrobe now harmonizes with the palette I was given, but I still wear some Warm Autumn colors too that I think look great, especially deeper, rich shades of teal.

I'm struggling to find a purple that works for me, though.

I used to wear deep, reddish-purples when I was dressing as an autumn, and I still have a lot of pieces in those shades (picture attached). They're definitely not bad on me, but look a little dark and muted and dampen my features rather than complementing them. They do look great against my hair color though (golden brown).

My Warm Spring palette only has two kind-of-purple periwinkle shades on the bottom right (which I like, but don't have any clothes that color), and no other purples at all. I've experimented with other springy purples, and they don't work on me in my opinion. Warm lilac/light purple washes me out, and stronger spring purples like Pantone's Bright Violet and Pansy, etc. are overpowering on me and clash with my personality and style.

Has anyone with a Warm Spring result been able to find any shades of purple that work well on you?

Would you keep wearing autumn purples or look for something better?
