The 12 Color Seasons: Spring and its Subsets

Suggested Pre-read: Before you jump into this blog, it's suggested that you get familiar with the Color Season Analysis, as covered in this blog.

Imagine yourself in a beautiful pasture; there’s a slight breeze, the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and everything is perfect. See the colors? Those are the spring color season shades. If you’re a spring color season, this is the ultimate guide for finding your subset and the best colors to make your complexion pop.

How do I Know if I’m a Spring?

Springs are warm-toned, meaning gold jewelry looks better on them than platinum or silver. Their eyes are light to medium in darkness and are usually shades like clear blue, bright green, hazel, or light grey. Springs have a sort of golden aura to them.

Skin tone-wise, most springs are white in shades ranging from fair, light, medium, or tan, each with a golden undertone.

What are the Spring Subsets?

There are three subsets under the spring color season umbrella: light spring, warm spring, and bright spring. Though they share many traits in common, these subgroups are different, and it’s essential to differentiate yourself from the other two.

When you make color choices based on your color season, you'll have a much more pleasant shopping experience and lesser buyer's remorse.

1. Light Spring

Light springs will usually have a very fair and overall light complexion with little contrast between the facial features and hair. A light spring’s eyes are generally pale, such as pale grey, light blue, light green, light hazel, and light brown, and hair colors with golden or reddish undertones like light golden blonde, medium golden blonde, strawberry blonde, pale copper, or light golden brown. In addition, light springs have neutral or warm-neutral skin tones in shades such as fair, light, or medium.

Colors to wear and do makeup with: Light colors, gentle greys, greens, pinks, blues, and purples.

Great, but does this mean I have to change my whole wardrobe and makeup?

Not at all. The key is to bring your colors closer to your face. So, for sure go ahead and wear all the colors in your wardrobe, but just a neck scarf, or big earrings, or the right color lipstick from your personal color palette will do the trick.

We've all had faux-pas with colors, especially makeup colors. And who can blame us? All the cool makeup brands make it look like our lives would be sorted if wee just get that hot pink lip on the model's face. It's too tempting. But what they don't tell you, is that they pick the model, based on the lip color and it doesn't look as striking on everyone.

So if you want to stop playing tag with the makeup brands, then consider choosing the GoPlay LIPSKIT which lets you create your personal best lip colors in seconds in a sustainable way. The colors are high quality, highly pigmented (think Tarté lip paint), and you can even change the texture from matte-to-moist-to-tint. The kit is custom assembled for your undertone, and the GoPlay app suggests you your personal best colors with their LIPSKIT blends.

What if I’m Not a Spring?
