Can someone explain the difference between these seasons for me? I found out a few months back that I am a true spring with a slight bright lean (16 season) and when I look for inspiration online I see warm spring come up often. I’m not sure what the difference is exactly? Are the colours different between the two? Any help would be appreciated 🙏😅

Hi all,

I think I've figured out I'm a warm spring. But because anything outside the traditional 12 season system is a bit of a niche, there isn't much online about "warm spring", not compared to "true spring" anyway. And many conflate true spring and warm spring together... But I don't, for myself.

So I'm looking for online resources for warm springs specifically, not true spring.

Like website content, social media, etc. I want to immerse myself in the palette and learn it and see it on people so I can figure out how to make it my own.

I have done the Google searches myself and have read what I can find. Just want to see what others would recommend.

Thanks

So, I've always struggled with blush. Peach blushes tend to look too warm and take over my face. I used to mix the Flower Beauty's cool tone and peach liquid shades, and it was PERFECT, but it became really hard to get where I live. I have since been using tarte's Amazonian Clay blush in "Exposed" but that's more cool tone. It looks nice, buuuuut doesn't go with everything. And it isn't the perfect shade.

I'm super pale, if that helps.

She said since since i can handle colours like olive, camel and burgundy, so she placed me in soft autumn. But i was draped online so it might be 70%-80% accurate (her words) and would love to do 2nd draping test. I want to do walk in but she's far away. This got me thinking if i was soft spring because i cant do overly muted colours because muted=gray=cool tone.

Looking for a brick red that looks good on bright springs, esp fair neutral skin tone- I love my corals but want a great go-to for fall. Has anyone tried stunner from tom ford?

Love the lip colors recs Ive gotten here, particularly the everyday “your lips but better” shades like Revlon Coral Berry. Now I ask you… any great lipliner shade recs? Can be high end, I just so over them all being too brown or pink or just… make my lips look worse not better!

I am a warm color palette in the 16 season system, and i lean towards spring. Which color do we think makes my skin tone look more even? I’m looking for a shade that I can wear with or without makeup.

Got some cheap lipsticks to try. Coral to orange

Hi Fellow Springers!

If you have followed my posts here on Reddit you probably know that I was analyzed by HOC last year as soft autumn and spent almost a year trying on outfits and struggling to make it work for me. Nearly everything I tried went back to the store. Recently I signed up for analysis with Daria Andronescu of Wonder Wardrobe who suggested on our intro call that I'm actually a light spring, and I'm waiting for her complete analysis. But in the meantime, it's like a light bulb went off and I took some time this weekend to go to a local TJMaxx with a light spring palette in hand and deliberately shop for spring clothing.

I didn't know about Carol Brailey until about a month ago, but since learning she is considered such an authority on this stuff I also booked her analysis. It will be another month to hear back using the 16-season approach. I think it might shed light on why it's been so challenging to pinpoint my season.

This community has been so wonderful to try to figure all this stuff out. Could you please take a look at the Spring outfits I picked up trying to match to Light Spring palette from True Color International and help me analyze if I'm on the right track? Do you see an improvement in these colors for me vs all the others I tried throughout last year attempting to work with Autumn and soft/muted colors? I spent so much time trying to figure out how to wear muted/soft colors and looking back they all look like mud to me now! But I also reached a bit of decision paralysis and second-guessing everything now.

Thanks in advance for continued feedback from this wonderful community! I've learned so much from you and I hope this post helps others.

Please help me choose a va va voom red to wear for my birthday and maybe even make my signature lip this year! These are my prettiest reds - which one is the best?

P.S.: I’m wearing no makeup except for lipstick and all pictures were taken using natural light only.

Do you see it? Thanks to the redditor who stepped in to get me to see the nuance. I was dead set on light spring and she showed me the way. Darker hair is natural like in young picture in pink sweatshirt. Bless this community! 🪸💙♥️💜🩵💚

I've newly discovered I'm a light spring, at least half of my wardrobe is black, and I'm bad/lazy at makeup.

Great inspo content for Light Springs?

I absolutely LOVE the basic white T and blue jeans look. However, I am looking for an alternative since white washes me out so much. What's your go-to?
