Debra,
What you describe is very normal for a Light Spring’s eyes in her best colours. The more yellow, the more Spring, generally speaking. You sound closer leaning to True Spring than Light Summer. I don’t quite understand what you find unexpected about the eye colour change you describe but I’ve seen it happen and I think it’s incredibly gorgeous – with no compromise needed by the skin.

Thank you so much for these lipstick recs, Rebelle and Monte Carlo are both gorgeous with the deeper colour but sheer enough to not look heavy. I love them, especially Monte Carlo. It’s lovely to find a ‘darker’ and livelier light spring match!

Hi Christine,
I have a unique dilemma and look forward to learning your thoughts on how to deal with it. I have been draped as a light spring and I do think it does work best with my skin tone, but my eye color, up close, is blue green with a sunburst of light yellow that makes them appear very yellow green. I find that when I wear my light spring colors, the yellow in them intensifies the yellow in my eyes and makes them appear more yellow than green. I understand the concept of going with the palette that best perfects your skin tone. Should I just ignore the eye color issue? Or move to light summer?

Thank you! I’ll be making a beeline for the nearest Chanel counter!

Ellie, a very close colour would be Chanel Rebelle. Antigone (cooler) and Monte Carlo would be variations on the same colour.

Thank you! Louise looks so balanced in it, I’d love to have an idea of the shade as it would look in the tube.

Ellie,
It’s a lip colour I bought from a wholesaler. I can’t think of a duplicate. It’s a very sheer fresh-air petal pink. It really is not dark at all and is also very sheer, imparts very little pigment. I may know of a Chanel dupe, will look in daylight tomorrow.

What lipstick was Louise wearing in these pics please? She looks great in it and it’s a darker and brighter colour than a lot of the usual LSp favourites.

I’ve been trying on makeup,colors,getting friend opinions,and looking at pictures. Then it really hit me that light spring fits perfectly. I now feel silly for not noticing sooner. The clariry of clear spring is nice but definatly to dark,and just a bit saturated. Warm spring is to warm simple as that. Soft autumn and autumn colors make me wanna run away and hide from my reflection. light summer was to cool I was missing the springyness of light spring. I really want to thank you for your help and for this amazing blog that helped me so much.

I will give you a list of my go to lipcolors,but they are cheap drug strore brands.. Jordana lip out loud super shiny lipgloss in BFF, burts bees rhubarb(although I’ve been using it less and less its the same color as my lips), burts bees hibiscus(along time ago I would have been worried about the orange in it but it look fine but not as good as the pinks,wet n wild glassy gloss lipgloss in glass is in session(a clear coralish color). I don’t have any reds to add. because I haven’t tried many. I don’t wear makeup that much. nude lipcolors look terrible on me,and light peach colors its still to nude, a light pink looks bad to. my lips being the same color as my skin is not a good look for me. Thanks again. oh I also have to be very careful with brown in makeup it can look like mud.
