Springs have the most delicate quality of all the seasonal types. Spring’s skin is either creamy ivory, peachy pink, peach or golden beige. Freckles come naturally to her, though some springs have skin clear as glass, often called’ peaches and cream’. The ivory spring appears to have golden flecks or highlights to her skin, while the peachy spring is likely to have peachy pink cheeks.
Of all the seasons, springs are the most likely to have rosy cheeks and to flush easily. Their skin is usually finely textured and colour seems to rush to the surface. Some springs are very ruddy and can be confused with summers because of the apparent pinkness. Even their knuckles look purple. Springs have an aliveness and brightness to their skin tone, even if they are extremely fair. Black and oriental springs have light, golden brown skin.
HAIR
Spring’s hair is flaxen blonde, yellow blonde, honey, strawberry, taffy-red or golden brown. Ash-tone hair is not spring. In childhood many springs are blonde, ranging from flaxen to honey to strawberry but their hair often darkens with age. Some have very dark brown hair. Grey does not blend with the golden hair of a spring, so she is wise to keep her hair dyed its youthful colour until she has turned totally grey.
EYES
Spring’s eyes are likely to be blue, green, teal or aqua often with golden flecks in the iris or a golden cluster around the pupil. There are some brown-eyed springs but they are always golden brown or topaz. A spring’s hazel eye contains golden brown, green and gold.
TRYING YOUR COLOURS
Spring’s are the most delicate of all seasons, yet they need colours that are alive. When you shop, think clear, warm (yellow) and crisp. Your colours are the hardest to find because they must be clear, never muted and not too dark. Because of your delicate beauty you remain ageless. Spring’s best white is ivory, a creamy tone, though you may also wear off-white. Your beiges are all clear and warm- from light beige to camel.. Your browns begin with golden tan and go as dark as milk chocolate. Any golden brown is good as long as it is not too dark. Spring has clear gold from buff to golden yellow, bright but not harsh.
Peach, apricot, salmon and coral as well as all peachy are for springs. Avoid black, pure white, colours with blue undertones, dark and muted colours but you may wear black in prints, unless you are very fair.
