True Spring ๐ท
Golden, glowing, and basically a walking sunbeam.
True Spring is the warmest, sunniest of the spring seasons. Everything about your coloring has a golden undertone, from your skin to your hair to the flecks in your eyes. Your skin may look peachy, golden beige or warm ivory, often with freckles. Hair tends to be golden blonde, copper, strawberry or warm light brown, and eyes are often warm green, turquoise, golden hazel or bright blue. You need color with warmth and energy. Muted, dusty shades make you look tired, and cool icy tones clash with your natural gold. Put you in apricot, poppy and warm coral and you instantly look awake, healthy and happy.
Best blush for True Spring
Warm, lively blushes are your thing: apricot, golden peach, warm coral and peachy pink. You can handle more pigment than a Light Spring, so don't be shy about building it up. Satin and dewy finishes mirror your natural glow beautifully. Very cool pinks and plum blushes tend to sit on your skin like a bruise rather than a flush. Sweep color across the apples and slightly upward, and let a touch of golden highlight finish the look.
Best lip colors for True Spring
Your lips look best in warm, clear shades with some life in them: coral, apricot, warm salmon pink and golden peach nudes. Gloss and satin finishes keep the brightness you need, while very dry mattes can look flat. Avoid nudes that lean pink-gray or mauve. Your best red is a bright, warm poppy or orange-red, the kind that looks like a ripe tomato sitting in the sun.
