You are SPRING

Everyone has a Season that's closest to their coloring!

BUT if you don't fit easily into this color palette, try the Tonal Color Quiz as you may be closer to one of the Tonal Color Families with just ONE color characteristic. 

SPRING is...

Spring is the most delicate of all the Seasons but the colors are alive, fresh and vibrant! 

The best colors for YOU are WARM with a golden yellow undertone, CLEAR (bright) never soft and muted, and LIGHT avoid all dark heavy shades. 

Your natural coloring

• Your complexion is fair through to golden beige often with a sprinkling of freckles but always with golden/yellow WARM undertones.  

• You are likely to feel an instinctive affinity with this fresh bright palette. 

• You have clear bright eyes - blue, turquoise/light teal, perhaps green or topaz and often flecked with yellow. There is often a darker rim around the iris.   
  

• Your hair is light with golden warm tones or elements of red.

• You will invariably have been a golden haired child and even as you age you're likely to carry that 'golden glow'. All the shades in this palette have the same characteristics as your own and will harmonize with and complement your coloring and complexion.

Your best colors

You will probably feel an affinity with your new Color Family or, at least, with some of the colors because your natural coloring and your instincts are connected.

Wearing these colors will allow you to look your best and avoid wasting money on clothes that don't do you justice. 

Carrying colors in your head is difficult and a Color Swatch makes organizing a breeze and shopping a pleasure. Your choice won't be limited, on the contrary, between each color there are literally hundreds of shades and tones just like an artist's palette.

Why you should wear SPRING colors

• Wearing these colors echoes your own natural coloring creating harmony and balance

• You will look healthier and more attractive and feel more confident both in yourself and your appearance 

• The SPRING color palette is a glorious mix of LIGHT WARM and BRIGHT shades and really will bring you to LIFE! 

• You can use this color palette to create a a co-ordinated wardrobe and streamline your life!

And how to recognize SPRING shades

• All SPRING shades are WARM with a yellow/golden undertone. 

• They are LIGHT and fresh, and also BRIGHT and vibrant.


• Choose light or bright ivory rather than a clinical pure white.

• Clear shades of peach and apricot, periwinkle and light true blue.

• Clear bright aqua and clear bright red.

• All these clear shades echo the brightness of your eyes.

Some familiar faces with SPRING coloring

Your Neutrals

• Neutrals form the backbone of your wardrobe - the investment pieces such as coats, jackets, trousers, a good dress, accessories etc. which take you from season to season

• Neutrals create the perfect foil for your vivid accent colors

• Your best neutrals have a Warm undertone with light and clarity - light warm beige, golden tan, camel, medium golden brown, a light clear navy

• The best light neutral to wear close to your face is bright ivory - pure white is too clinical against your warm skin
  

• Black is not part of the Spring palette, it's actually a 'Bright' so there is a connection! As you love to dress in 'snappy' colors you might like to use it in small splashes, perhaps a print, to offset the brightness of the Spring colors.

How to wear your SPRING colors

You have the brightest of the Seasonal palettes, and initially it may look difficult. But before you panic, slow down and have a thorough look at the colors.

Rather than looking at the whole palette at once, look at one color at a time and I'll bet you find a few favourites in there - perhaps the color of a t-shirt or a jumper which always gets you compliments. This is reassuring - these are your colors!

So how to begin putting them together for an outfit? When you look at the images below you'll see that there is probably nothing different to the way you would normally wear your clothes. Over thinking can complicate - just enjoy!

Makeup Hair and Jewelry

• When you choose makeup colors follow the golden tones of the SPRING palette keep the colors light and fresh.


• FOUNDATION: Look for a light foundation with a yellow/warm undertone to complement your skin. Match it as closely as possible on the jaw line. Avoid a 'flat' beige which will flatten your coloring. 

• LIPSTICK: Natural peachy pinks or copper, brilliant coral, shiny bronze or terracotta. Your pinks are always peachy, avoid harsh blue toned pink.


• EYES: Natural tones of taupe, beige or warm brown for shaping and creamy highlighter for the lid. For added color choose shades from the Spring palette:  light gold, apricot, teal, periwinkle, amethyst.

• BLUSH: Choose blusher with a peach (warm) undertone, not too dark.

• HAIR: Your hair is naturally golden to complement your skin tone so if you choose to add highlights stay with the gold.

• JEWELRY: Light shiny gold jewelry is flattering to you skin tone or wear beautiful creamy pearls.
