1. Features – Bright & Warm

As a Bright Spring, your natural coloring is vibrant and warm, making bright and warm colors the most flattering for you.

They boast highly saturated, vibrant, and warm coloring without any hints of greyness.

Their features have high contrast. The warmth in their undertones means gold suits them better than silver, adding a touch of radiance to their look.

1.1 Eyes

Eyes often exhibit bright and warm undertones with a captivating sunburst pattern on the iris.

You might find common warm shades like blue, green, topaz, or bright brown. They create a striking contrast.

1.2 Hair

Hair ranges from medium to dark golden blonde with warm undertones, may show reddish highlights in the sun.

Auburn or medium brown with reddish undertones are also suitable options.

1.3 Skin

Skin tones for Bright Springs typically lean towards neutral or neutral-warm undertones, allowing for flexibility in metal choices. While both gold and silver can work, gold tends to complement their complexion better.

Their skin ranges from fair to tan, adding to the dynamic range of their natural beauty. Brittany Snow has a neutral undertone and light skin depth.

1.4 Contrast

Bright Springs have the most contrast of all twelve color seasons, seen in the strong differences between their skin, eyes, and hair.

This contrast is clear even in their eyes, where the iris contrasts with the whites, making each feature stand out instead of blending.

This striking contrast shows the bright and radiant colors of the Bright Spring palette.

2. Color Dimensions

The Bright Spring palette reflects your vibrancy:

• Hue: Colors lean warm, with a dominance of golden yellow undertones.
• Value: A balance of light and dark shades, with lighter colors dominating.
• Chroma: High saturation with bold and vibrant tones.

3. Color Palette

The Bright Spring palette is the most vivid of all the seasons, reminiscent of tropical landscapes.

Best Colors

• Light Neutrals: Soft yellow, off-white, or light greenish-grey.
• Dark Neutrals: Medium golden brown and dark olive green.
• Accent Colors: Jewel tones like turquoise, lime green, bright coral, and golden yellow.

Worst Colors

• Muted Colors: Dusty blues and muddy browns dull your natural brightness.
• Cool Colors: Icy blues and greys clash with your warmth.

3.1 Best Colors

Some fabulous color choices include:

Your best neutrals are soft yellowish, pinkish off white or light greenish greys. They are way better for you instead of pure white.

On the darkest side, you have lots of other darker neutrals - medium-dark browns and some shades of greenish greys.

3.2 Worst Colors

Your worst colors are muted and cool. You should avoid toned-down colors like muddy browns and dusty blues because they will make you look dull.

Also, avoid icy blues and greys because they don't help you at all.

4. Metals & Accessories

While Bright Spring exudes warmth, gold isn't the only metal option available. Given your skin's neutral-warm undertones, rose gold, white gold, and even silver and platinum can complement your look.

Bright Spring’s vibrant features pair well with shiny and polished metals.

• Best Metals: Yellow gold, rose gold, and warm-toned white gold.
• Avoid: Matte or oxidized finishes; they may dull your look.
• Accessories: Opt for vibrant gemstones like turquoise, citrine, and peridot.

Ensure that metals have a shiny or polished finish. Matte finishes may not harmonize with your naturally vibrant coloring.

5. Color Combinations

You can combine any of the colors on the Bright Spring palette with each other, but some combinations will look much better. Your natural appearance contains those combinations.

Bright Springs thrive on high-contrast pairings:

• Value Contrast: Combine light and dark shades of the same hue, such as light coral with deep red.
• Hue Contrast: Pair opposite colors like pinks and greens for a vibrant and playful look.

6. Prints

6.1 Colors

The best patterns for you are those that only have Bright Spring colors in them.

If a pattern has few colors from other palettes, it's still wearable. But if it has too much of a mismatched color, it's best to avoid it.

6.2 Contrast

Since your coloring has high contrast, try choosing patterns that have a higher contrast level too, rather than one which blends too much.

In this example, the first one looks better because it has more contrast, just like your natural features.

6.3 Pattern arrangements

Avoid too small, loose and dense elements. Instead, go for hand-drawn elements, dotty, busy, creative, and geometric patterns.

7. Makeup

Your color palette combines brightness with warmth. Your colors are bright, neutral-warm and medium light. The best make-up for you is bright and colorful.

Your natural features are high in contrast, so you need to repeat that in your make-up. You have some dark and some light features which creates a value contrast.

You have an intense appearance because of the vibrancy that you’ve got. For you, natural makeup is an intense look, rather than a natural look.

Your makeup palette comes from the same colors used in clothing, and you have plenty of vibrant options to choose from, so no worries!

• Choose lightweight, peach-based formulas with a dewy finish to match your bright undertones.
• Avoid matte or cool-toned options.

7.1 Foundation & Concealer

Your skin is neutral-warm, so your foundation and concealer should be natural, dewy, and peach-based, but not too yellow.

Match foundation and concealer to your individual skin tone.

• Choose lightweight, peach-based formulas with a dewy finish to match your bright undertones.
• Avoid matte or cool-toned options.

7.2 Bronzer & contouring

Because of your bright complexion, you can’t handle dark, muddy, or grey colors.

You can wear a peachy or a yellower shade of bronzer. Just a light application of bronzer is enough, so don’t over-apply it.

Another option instead of a bronzer is a highlighter to accent your features. It should not be too yellow.

• A peachy or golden bronzer enhances your warmth.
• Apply lightly for a natural glow.

7.3 Blush Palette

You may need some trial and error because it depends on your individual skin tone. You can go either with peach and coral colors if you are more of a warm-toned skin, or you can go with more pinkish tones if you have more of a neutral skin.

Avoid cool and blue-based colors because they don’t match with your appearance.

• Opt for coral or peach-based blushes with a slight shimmer.
• Avoid blue-based pinks.

7.4 Lipstick

As you are bright, the best lipstick colors are intense. You can try coral, pinks and peach colors.

You might find them intense, but once you apply them to your lips, you'll see they look natural, mirroring your natural intensity.

Colors like plum or burgundy are not a good option for you. Try also to avoid too matte and dry finishes.

• Bright corals, pinks, and peaches harmonize with your natural vibrancy;
• Choose glossy or satin finishes for a fresh look.

8. Eye Makeup

8.1 Eyeshadows

You can go with dark eyeshadows too, since the Bright Spring palette is the darkest of the Spring family. You can go darker with purples, pinks, blues and greens.

Avoid going too dark as you are a bright, not a dark season. Some of the best neutral eyeshadows for you are champagnes, warm greys, creams and taupes.

To make your eyes pop out, opt for brighter colors. As textures, the best for you are creamy sheer ones with pure pigments. Avoid bright colors with blue undertones and matte finishes.

• Neutral shades like champagne and taupe work well, while bright accents like turquoise or coral add flair.
• Avoid matte or overly cool tones.

8.2 Mascara

Your best color mascara comes in a variety of dark greys. Since you're influenced by the Winter season, true black is also an option for you. Still it is a bit cooler and darker than your usual colors. If you go with it, be sure you add warmness in your look by choosing a lighter and warmer shade of eyeshadow.

• Dark grey or brown mascara is ideal;
• Black can also work but should be paired with warm eyeshadows;

8.3 Eyeliner

When choosing your eyeliner, consider coordinating with your mascara colors, steering clear of anything darker.

To accentuate your eyes, embrace brighter hues like purples, blues, and greens. While it might feel bold, the vibrant tones will harmonize with your bright features, creating a naturally stunning look.

• Explore colorful options like teal, emerald, or plum.

9. Conclusion

Bright Spring is all about vibrancy and warmth. Embrace bold, saturated colors and light-reflecting accessories to enhance your natural beauty.
