r/SpringColorAnalysis

i am trying to find a lipstick color for each sub season to test at home! :) i saw some ppl mention lady danger but idk which subseason suits that lipstick

Honestly, I have zero clue. I thought I was cool toned with a warm overtone, but I’ve had people say I look warm. The only season I’m confident I’m not is a winter. But I think light Summer and light Spring are the top two possibilities, but soft summer and soft Autumn maybe? Any and all help is much appreciated. I will add photos in the comments.

For details: I’m a natural blonde. Super light golden blonde until puberty. Then it turned darker (lvl 6-7 currently) and possibly ashy? But still warm golden highlights. I have blue/gray eyes with a Forrest green central heterochromia. I have freckles that primarily come out on my cheeks in the summer, and constantly are there along my arms. A few light brown birthmarks on my legs. I’m typically pretty pale. I get a golden overcast in the summer (after burning first) rather than an actual tan. I still glow pale regardless. I have purple, blue, and green veins. Though mostly blue and green. I struggle with foundations. Neutrals look best. Warm foundations and cool foundations both look wrong on me. Purple blush turns pink on me. I can’t wear anything too heavy on my face or it will wear me instead. I need medium to light contrast.

I hope that’s enough details? I can answer any additional questions that may be needed.

I was digitally typed by a professional as a Light Spring. However, every other color season guide online shows springs as having golden blonde or very light golden brown hair.

I would definitely describe my natural hair as a mousy brown and am struggling to imagine myself in most Light Spring colors, especially turquoise, coral, and mint.

Do you think I was mistyped? Pictures in comments!

Hello

I just feel like I need to do a little public service announcement.

I don't like orange. I don't wear orange makeup.

But I just got the etude water tint in orange and I love it beyond all my other makeup.

It looks orange going on but you can blend it out and it kind of dries down more subtle.

I love it on my lips - it gives my lips but better.

But if you wanted to - you could apply it more if you wanted it to be more obviously orange.

I am someone who struggles with lip stuff. I have thin droopy lip anatomy so bright lips tend to age me. I tend to go for subtle sheer lip colours. This goes on sheer orange then as it dries it sort of looks like a subtle warm tint that looks healthy and fresh, a little reddish when it mixes with the natural pink colour of my lips - a little brighter than my natural lip shade, and the shade is clear not muted. It's very pretty.

And on cheeks. It gives a kind of glow. It does look orange on cheeks initially but after applying .. I take a look at myself in my car mirror for example and it just kind of looks like a healthy glow rather than screaming orange.

I like that it's not rusty, it's not peachy as there's no pink in it, it's not orange mixed with white, it's sheer and buildable. When it's light it just gives a kind of my skin but better/healthy glow kind of thing - which is my preference for makeup. But because it's buildable, if orange is your thing, you could totally make it more bright if you wanted to.

I recommend checking out orange water tints - elf make one as well. They are actually not very expensive. Have a look on social media and see what colour it comes out - it's really nice and I think it would be so flattering for springs and with the potential to be subtle or "nude-ish" which I know springs struggle with at times.

I'm wearing it every day as someone who prefers low/subtle makeup. I've been trawling this subreddit searching for my lips but better lipliner recs and realised that "nude" makeup options are hard to come by - so I thought I'd share this gem with you all.

i had my color analysis done and got typed as a spring with highest lightness, medium to high contrast and a warm base :))

a year prior to this, i did an online color analysis that left me disappointed and typed me as a deep winter. i immediately tried out said colours and i looked horrible :// winter make up is the worst as well!! i look like i am putting on a costume and people told me that not every winter suits winter colours? so i tried out summer make up which was way way better. however the coolness still didn’t feel completely right.

so i went into a in-person color analysis and i got typed as spring:)) apparently my best jewellery colours are light gold or champagne gold and my second best season is summer and my WORST is winter.

last night i wanted to find out my sub season on r/coloranalysis. just for people to comment that i am a deep winter even tho i emphasised multiple times that these colours make me washed out etc. I was getting ignored after i said that these colours are literally my worst, even tho I know HOW colours reflect on me in person.

I understand that my dark hair and eyes can make me appear deeper at first glance, which is why I’m specifically asking for help distinguishing my Spring subseason. However, I don’t think my hair/eye depth should override the results of in-person draping. In my consultation, Winter was explicitly my weakest season, while Spring was my strongest and Summer was second. I’ve also personally tested Winter colours and consistently find them much less flattering.

i would really appreciate if you could help me out and bring me closer to a certain type.

I recently came to the conclusion that I am a true spring. I was always thought I was more muted because I’m a fair brunette, but I now realize I was frequently just washed out lmao. I have historically gravitated toward shimmery, glowy makeup which in retrospect was a sign.

I am struggling a bit because it seems like spring inspiration falls into a fairly narrow scope. Kind of preppy or very girly and majority blond or ginger hair color. I pull from more 90s inspired looks, but do like color. The colors I generally gravitate toward are blues(lots of denim), green, red, orange. Definitely not turquoise or peach. Also have almost exclusively silver jewelry I’m not ready to abandon

I guess my question is how much your season influences your personal style or not, do you view it as prescriptive or informative? Also any brunette true spring celeb suggestions would be awesome. I’m willing to attaching photos of my coloring if people are curious

I'm a very pale light spring, though I do look good in some autumn colours. We were burgled recently, and my makeup was stolen, and I am trying to find opportunity so...UK light springs, any particular makeup you recommend? I'm particularly interested in lipsticks, especially red, which is difficult for a light spring.

Hi all,

Going to a wedding in October. I absolutely love autumn colours, but I'm trying to dress for my bright spring palette. Can you help me find some nice suitable options and inspiration?

Any photos or links to examples and dresses are very welcome (even if no longer on sale), I'm terrible at visualising!

I bought he Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara in Chocolate Brown and love how the color harmonizes so well with my eyes and skin tone. I am Warm Spring in the 16 color seasons.

I think most brown mascaras are still too dark on me but this one works.

I would love to hear about any other recommendations.

Thank you.

Hi all,

I'm a super pale warm spring. I've been trying to wean off fake tan, and I am looking for a good body glow. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have seen some good deals on the Nuxe body glows in gold and rose gold. Has anyone had any experience with these? I'm considering the rose gold, as I fear that a gold/bronzy look wouldn't work for fair skin.

Edit: If anyone also has any recommendations for a drugstore peach toned foundation for fair skin, that would be brilliant :)
