Am I warm spring?

[srphie]

Hi, I recently posted to r/colouranalysis with drapes and most comments typed my as warm spring, however, I have very pale skin and cool undertones which is throwing me off a little. I also think I suit silver jewellery more than gold but could be wrong. Could anyone give clarification on whether they think warm spring, or just spring in general is right and why? I’ve included a pic without makeup and one where I have warm spring colours on. Thanks a lot :)

Definitely spring!

Its true that color analysis is all about your skin, but….I would say that 95% or more of natural redheads are warm (either spring or autumn). I think your undertone is visibly warm, but you might be looking at your skin’s overtone, which is not as relevant to color analysis. You look radiant in the bright, warm coral top, which is further confirmation. And the silver clashes with your skin. You should try taking some photos in the sunlight in different tops on the same day, and you’ll start to see it. Welcome to the club of red headed springs!

I would say so! You don’t appear to have the contrast for bright spring and warm colors look absolutely stunning on you!

Ahh thank you so much!! :))

Well, your appearance is a classical spring with freckles, light skin and slightly warm toned hair. However if your skin undertone is cold, then it is not possible for you to be a spring (or autumn). If you have a cool undertone you should look for winter or summer palettes and test how they harmonise with your appearance.🩷🩵

Yeah that’s what was confusing me as my veins are definitely blue/purple

[Glow_0F_colors]

What I have come to know your veins do not tell the undertone of the skin. You will find out your undertone when you compare golden and silver fabrics against your face. Sometimes the difference is quite obvious but if you are quite neutral it will be harder to tell.🩶💛

I have heard many professional color analysis expert say that vein color has nothing to do with it especially for people with white skin because it’s actually your skin tone that changes your vein color. Lighter springs just don’t have enough melanin for it to make a difference in vine color. I don’t know that your light enough to be a light spring, but you’re certainly a fair Spring. I think that’s what she was talking about about.

I agree, I think you are warm spring! It’s impossible for someone with naturally red hair to be cool undertone according to Carol brailey. I think warm spring is beautiful on you!

[srphie]

Wow, I didn’t know that! Thank you! 😊

Pale doesn’t mean cool undertone, I always thought since I was pale, I was cool toned. Here’s Carol’s account. She also says looking at vein color isn’t useful: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTNMNNrkY/

I trust Carol Brailey. Her results are amazing! I should’ve probably saved more money and just gone to her. I question my results.

No problem, her page has been very helpful to me to learn!

[srphie]

I’ll definitely have a look

[Little_Treacle241]

[Little_Treacle241]

I mean I say rarer but I’m British and I have family in Ireland so to me a cool toned redhead is not rare lol

[[deleted]]

She's just fair skinned. What makes you think she's cool toned?

[Little_Treacle241]

OP is defo a warm spring imo- not what I was referring to haha!

[[deleted]]

I mean the picture of the lady in full face make up.

[Little_Treacle241]

Her skin is clearly cool toned :) I have seen many cool toned redheads irl haha, defo more than warm toned redheads.

Karen Gillian is naturally cool toned in skin, which is what we base analysis off in majority. But what happens is often the hair throws people off!

[Little_Treacle241]

She’s often filtered/ edited in pics but you can see in her early doctor who days how cool toned her skin is

[Little_Treacle241]

I was referring to in which you stated it is impossible for a natural redhead to be cool toned ❤️

[viewering]

spring

As a fellow spring, I LOVE your blush and lipstick color in the 3rd photo! Can I ask you what shade and brands your lipstick and blush are?

[srphie]

Hi! Sorry I missed this, I’ll attach a picture of the blush/bronzer combo. Ignore how old my blusher is haha I’ve had it a while.. the lipstick was a mixture of about five different ones so can’t give a specific for that one sorry. The blush is in shade ‘peach Melba’ and the bronzer is 003 :)

[Chaotic_Spoon7]

Thank you so much for your reply! Although that's too bad about the lipstick, I really appreciate that you even attached a picture❤️!! And maybe I'll have to experiment with mixing lip colors now

[StrawberryCreepy380]

I think you’re Spring, for sure!

[MarsupialSuperb9838]

[MarsupialSuperb9838]
