Also called Bright Spring, your season is brilliant and 50% saturated, like rolling fields of tulips in the sun. You shine best in vibrant and bright colors that lean warm. Knowing your best colors will help you streamline your shopping trips, trim down your closet, and save you from wasting time wondering why certain outfits don’t look as great on you as they did on your Pinterest boards. Just follow these simple steps and watch the compliments – and confidence – roll in!

With warm undertones and bright features, Clear Springs can tame even the brightest yellows, lime greens, and bubblegum pinks into submission. Go ahead and add that aqua jumpsuit to cart, because we promise you can pull it off!

Clear Spring’s Best Colors

As you can see here, your best colors are on the warm and 50% saturated side, but their main attribute is brightness. Your worst colors are muted and muddy cool shades that have lots of gray mixed in. Stay away from these dull colors like they’re the plague, because then you will look like you have, in fact, caught the plague.

You can also borrow from your sister season, Clear Winter, but try to stay more on the warmer side of these colors.

Once you embrace your season, everything clicks. You’ll be throwing together outfits in your sleep, you’ll quit second-guessing your makeup routine, and the compliments will start rolling in. It’s not because you’ve discovered the Holy Grail of skin cream, but because you’re working with your natural features instead of against them. We call that a no-brainer over here!

Typical Features of a Clear Spring

If you are a Clear Spring, your brilliant eyes are likely the showstopper. They can be any shade of blue, green, hazel, or brown, but the distinguishing feature is bright.

If your eyes aren’t so bright, there is a chance that your lips are the brightness feature instead. To be a clear spring, you must have something in your features that stands out as bright.

Your hair is on the warmer side, but can be any shade from honey blonde to amber brown to very dark brown. Your skin tone can be any range, from light to dark.

Clear Spring Make Up

When shopping for makeup, look for warm and 50% saturated pinks and reds that have orange in them like flamingo and true red. Also remember, for a clear spring shiny is better than matte, although you can pull off both! Opt for a liquid peach or coral blush over powder to get that shine.

For Clear Springs, you can skip the contouring and heavy dark eyeshadow, as it only works against that brightness, your best asset. Opt for a fun and flirty glittery eye lid over a smokey eye! And don’t be afraid of a little aqua here and there!

For nail polish, you can pick a color straight from your palette! You can even choose a color from this full color palette here.

Clear Spring Celebrities

As you can see, these celebrities all look radiant in their best colors. The intense and saturated bright pinks, yellows, reds, and greens don’t overpower them at all. In fact, these colors take the backseat, letting their natural features steal the spotlight. If you are a Clear Spring, then the same will happen when you wear these colors!

Clear Spring Jewelry

We can’t forget jewelry! Because your main attributes are bright and warm, your jewelry should reflect that as well. Opt for bling over matte. Beaded bracelets or resin stones are so underrated, don’t forget about them! Even though you have a warm skin tone, and golds look best on you, you can still pull off white gold, silver, and platinum–provided they are shiny and not matte. Of course, bright, saturated stones like emeralds, sapphires, rubies, pink garnets, etc are fair game.

Start Dressing in Your Clear Spring Palette

If you don’t already dress in your best colors, or are used to wearing more muted shades and the idea of a whole wardrobe overhaul overwhelms you, you can book a Closet Review , a Shop With Me or even a Shop For Me package. But in the meantime, if you are excited to start wearing your best colors, here are my three tips to start incorporating your best colors!

• Pick 2-3 colors out of your palette to start experimenting with. I know you’ve probably pulled up “Bright Spring Color Palettes” on Pinterest and are seeing lime green power suits or kelly-green jeans paired with a bright pink top and thinking you’ll never dress like that–listen, put down Pinterest for just a second. Go back to your best colors graphic and pick 2-3 shades to start experimenting with. Pick up a couple of t-shirts or sweaters in those colors and watch the compliments start rolling in. 
• Don’t throw out your whole closet yet, but you can safely get rid of that old muted sage t-shirt in the back of your closet that never looked that great on you anyway, sage-rage be damned. Anything that just never had that spark when you put it on, you can safely chuck it knowing that it wasn’t you, it was the clothes. 
• Pair back your make-up routine. If you are a Clear Spring, then you never needed that much make-up to begin with. Feel free to exchange the contour stick for some glimmery gloss.

What If I Hate My Colors?

You’ve pulled up Pinterest and seen one bold outfit after another. You are a sophisticated woman and you feel it’s unprofessional to pair a cobalt blazer with a mint green blouse and a chunky red necklace and heels- that’s okay! Trust me- you have options!

If you’re happy and confident in the wardrobe you have now, that’s amazing. You are not obligated to wear only your best colors all the time! If you want to treat your Best Colors like a secret weapon you pull out for weddings, job interviews, photoshoots, or first dates, that’s great!

However, I think you’ll find that there are ways to blend this wild color palette into your personal style, and once you start raking in those compliments, it’s really difficult to go back to those colors that weren’t serving you well.

If you were ready to embrace your colors, but are now having a hard time envisioning yourself wearing them, start with your neutrals (cream and bright brown) and add one accent color at a time

When you’re ready to lean deeper into your best colors and choose outfits that also work for your body and lifestyle, book a Closet Review , Shop With Me, or even a Shop For Me if you dont want to step foot in a store but want great new clothes in your colors!
