Light Spring Lippies

6/14/2012

4 Comments

 
Sorry for the long delay in this series!  My babies, my students and my graduate professors thank you for your patience.


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

If you're a Light Spring, most of these colors will work on your lips  -  and on 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. 

Several of these are discontinued. Check eBay for them. I just bought a four-pack of my favorite discontinued Soft Autumn long-lasting lippie.

Try before you buy. (Good advice, right? But I don't always follow it. I've bought a lot of Soft Autumn lippies sight unseen and been happy with all but one, which was too light.)

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

:-)

Do you know of any Dior lipsticks that would work for a somewhat brighter than average Light Spring?

Great list, thank you!

Some cooler side light spring UK currents, matched to the 12 Tone light spring fan -

Rimmel moisture renew lipstick in Latino
Maxfactor lipstick in English Rose (frosty, but lovely colour, and dabbing takes the frost off well)
Maybelline lipstick in Pink Lollipop (looks like an insane colour in the tube but smear it on paper and it's one of the lightest pinks, very sheer and light like lipgloss, but pretty)
Maybelline lipstick in Summer Pink

Thanks for the list!

I'm probably a warm-leaning light spring. Pur Minerals used to make a lippie called "Nealite Sunset" and it suited me beautifully, but now it's been discontinued. I'm looking for a new favourite. It'd be nice if there were an active forum where people could discuss makeup colors and compare notes.

"My closet has totally transformed into something I like, but don't think about much. How amazing is that? I just walk in, grab something for the occasion and the weather, and go. Because it's all the same color season, it all blends. Because it's all the right style (my style, so who cares if it's 'in'? It looks good on me) I can rest assured it looks about right. It's really amazing.

"I waste a lot less time and money now with shopping. I can walk into a store and rule out 90% of the inventory. I now try things I never would have dared and happily pass over things I used to think I had to have. Shopping is just a hunt now, not a source of guilt. I feel like I'm a lot less wasteful and more mindful this way."
