Bright Spring Lippies.

11/23/2011

All of the lippies in this series are recs from the ladies of the 12 Blueprints Facebook page, Christine Scaman, or my own swatches.

If you're a Bright Spring, most of these colors will work on your lips - and your cheeks too, if you use them as blush.

Some may be a touch too warm, too cool, too light or dark. This is normal, because the variation of human coloring within a season means that not all women in a season wear the same colors on the face equally well.

Some of these are discontinued. Check eBay.

Try before you buy, if possible.

Please do share feedback on the recs, or additional recs, in the Comments section.

I love Revlon Coral berry! It is definitely a favorite because it is more pink than orange and is just the right amount of bright for my skin. Highly recommend trying that one. I also have carnation and love it as well!! :)

Hi! :)
I think NYX Butter lipstick in Fizzies & Bourjoise Naturel Sweet Kiss in Framboise Exquise fit this category.

Burt's Bees lip shimmer in Rhubarb was a good "dealbreaker" test lip for me (a BW): it was very good but clearly too warm. In my draping I turned out to be a BW who leans BSp, even though the BW lips I tried seemed waaay too extreme when I tried them on alone. :-) Recommend the Rhubarb for anyone trying to choose between Bright seasons.

MAC Speak Louder was the first Bright Spring makeup I ever tried, at the end of my PCA three years ago, and I was terrified of the color, but admit that it did in fact look good. I just bought some this very day, looked at the tube and was surprised how not bright it was. If I had looked at a lineup of lipsticks, I would not have pointed it out as BSp. And it looks glorious on me and I love it!

Revlon Blase Apricot was way too warm for me on its own (I'm learning that I lean slightly cooler in the season -- the learning doesn't end does it? Lol), but looks great over the top of a pink lipstick like Speak Louder. Which is funny, because my favorite bookish and one of my bosses are the exact same color, and I have no problems with them, just when it's on my face.

On the note of warmth, I tried samples of all of the 12 Blueprints BSp lipsticks (a year ago, so not sure of the current makeup) and they were all too crazy warm for me, which is probably why I gave up on lipsticks until now. What a journey! Definitely would not recommend trying to find your season based on makeup, as there seems to be a very narrow area of success in comparison to clothes.

Also, love putting a gold lip gloss over the top of a bright pink (like Bare Minerals Nude).

Just purchased MAC See Shear on your recommendation, and was surprised by that one, too! Also doesn't look like it would be a bright (I'm learning so much today!) And it looks freaking fantastic! I think it may actually be my My Lip But Better. I've been trying to figure out a natural BSp makeup look for forever, and you just filled in a huge part of that puzzle! Makeup for seasons is definitely a different game than clothing.

Thank so much! I'm bookmarking this page and reading the rest of your stuff!

I tried Clarin's Fuschia Pink and Clinique's Plushest Punch on recommendation from Christine Scaman's website. They are both gorgeous!
I know, rite, Victoria, I find some oranges, well; too orange for me! But for sm reason Blase Apricot looks fine.
I am thinking of another recommendation from Christine; Marc Jacobs' So Sofia. But it looks kinda blinding for me now, Lol.
I managed to find another BSp from Revlon; it's Lip Lacquer stick in Flirtatious.

Hello Rachel, I know you made this list like almost 10 years ago but I wanted to ask you if Nars Damage Control is BSpring or if it's another season lipstick? :)
