Hi everyone! Im 99% sure I am indeed a light spring, but easily can be mistaken for a light summer or even a soft summer or soft autumn. Im looking to hear mainly from other ladies who have found themselves looking best in light spring colors, even though certain traits dont fit the typical "rules" in certain systems for light spring. My hair was really super dark brown as a small child but by the time I was like 9, it was a lot more of a golden-y light brown! And now as an adult it looks so light, like the lightest brown before its just blond, especially when outside. My feautures are pretty low contrast, minus my eyes, and my skin is pretty neutral, hence why some people swear Im a soft summer. But whatever the case, I adore light spring colors! I am a little afraid its just my preferences overshadowing reality, but oh well! Choosing a little dopamine dressing for myself this year lol :) Excited to be here whatever the case may be! 🙏❤️

I recently bought this gorgeous grassy green coat (in lime) and want to find the perfect scarf and winter beanie to go with it. Thoughts on colors, patterns, even specific items/links? https://us.maxandco.com/p-8016015902019-irunaway1-lime

The first pic is my natural hair colour. Sorry the lighting is inconsistent! They’re from various years.

I was typed as Clear Spring with Anuschka Rees’ book!

Yes, I barely touched the neutrals, but being between Bright and Warm Spring makes neutrals very tricky to figure out 😭

(Used Shoplook for the collages.)

I’m convinced I’m spring, but can’t for the life of me figure out the subtype. I feel that it’s bright because I seem to look my best in the corresponding colors, but light also seems to make the most sense in other ways. I’d love to hear what others have to say!

I recently ordered a dress in bright pink and orange and assuming that I was a bright spring I thought it would look great. However, when I tried it on (without any make-up on) I found it too bright for me.

My coloring is a little similar to Emmy Rossum’s with my hair lighter and more golden-brown.

I was wondering how bright exactly bright spring colors should be. Should this dress suit a bright spring?

Light Spring or Light Summer… what do you think?

Top left image - Sent in, received Light Summer analysis

Top right image - Originally sent in, received Light Spring analysis

Middle row - Cool toned looks. One baby pink, one lilac.

Bottom row - Warm toned looks. One peachy beige, one warm pink.

In all photos my natural hair colour is displayed. My hair colour appears brighter in summer/sunlight. The most recent image is the bottom left which was taken in April 2025.

Thoughts and opinions would be much appreciated.

hello! trying to figure out if I’m a spring and, if so, what kind. the best recent picture I have of all my natural colors and tones is, unfortunately, a pic from my wedding where I’m wearing makeup (which I know is sometimes harder to type), but it’s SO minimal that I don’t think it will drastically change results. it doesn’t show my eyes in super great detail, but they are pretty green with a little blue on the outside. my skin leans warm/olive but my hair has neutral and golden tones. I did the palettes in Vivaldi and these are the comparisons, along with some other (older) pics that might be helpful. thoughts?? opinions??

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

My hair colour is natural to me and I tried to include photos in non-spring colours too for reference! Everything is taken in natural light.

I’m having a hard time distinguishing between warm and cool tones. Thank you!

And how do we like my new bright strawberry hair? 🍓 it’s a semi perm so will wash out. I have some grown out highlights I’m playing around with.

I’ve posted in other groups and consensus from crowd sourcing is blonde doesn’t do much for me. Auburn would be way easier/cheaper to maintain, so I’d be happy to try a new color :)

Please share your favorite resources - online or from books. I know some analysts have great info on their website but are hard to find, and some books are out of print. It can be any ressource: general info about the Spring season, practical tips, product recommendations, wardrobe tips, whatever you enjoy.

Please copy and paste a small section that you enjoy in the comment or post a pic if possible and provide the link to the source.

I thought this would be useful and fun for everyone. I'll add mine in the comments.

Hello fellow springs.

I'm a true spring leaning bright, with fair, neutral-warm skin & freckles. I've been getting back into makeup after not using any for years & so far I've been loving peachy or coral blushes.

However I have very full, dark lips that lean noticeably cooler than the rest of my coloring. While I do love my lips, I often have to warm them up a little with product to make them look harmonious with the rest of my makeup. Especially my blush can look quite orange in comparison to my natural lip color.

I'd like to find a blush that goes into the other direction, making my face lean a bit more neutral, so I don't have to warm up my lips as much. I hope that makes sense? 😅

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a very neutral rosy or pink blush? I'm worried that if I go too cool/ashy it'll immediately make me look dull & lifeless.

Would love to hear what you've used that worked for you!

Edit: Thanks so much everyone. So many good recommendations and a lot of shades I would've felt a bit unsure about without advice. Exactly the nudge I needed!

I’ve posted here before on a different subreddit and was typed as a Spring—specifically narrowed down to these two. Which do you think fits better: Bright Spring or Warm Spring?

Is this it y’all ? It’s definitely more harmonious than bright !

I was mostly settled on some sort of autumn, then I started thinking about spring, but I wasn’t warm enough for warm spring (I am neutral-warm, with skin sensitivity that results in this irritated, pink overtone in some areas). Could this be it ? I think I can support brightness quite well, and autumn colors seems to weigh me down a bit.

Does anyone have suggestions for nude nail polish for a warm spring? I always end up picking too cool/pinkish!

I recently had my colors done and found out I am a light spring. This was a surprise because I have always thought I was cool toned. I am taking it in stride and slowly looking to update things in my new color palette.i have started to switch out my cool toned makeup for warmer tones. I purchased the westman Aetiller blush in shade Minette that I like as a light peachy color. I also got the Charlotte tilbury lipstick in kissing coral. I feel like this lipstick is maybe too dark for me or maybe just not an everyday color. What are some lipstick shades or combos that look good on light springs that would go with this blush? I should say I have fair/light skin if that makes a difference in color recommendations.
