This is a thread for all of us who have had their colours done' by House of Colour and are a Spring. (And 'believe' in it...
.) Or, by CMB and are 'clear and warm'. Think a few other CMB catergories might be spring too - 'soft and warm' maybe/' warm and clear' (different from 'clear and warm' because of the order of priorities/dominance...)?
Feel free to ask any Spring-related fashion/make-up/style questions on this thread.... (I won't know the answer but lots of people on these boards will!)
So, I'll start with a 'spring' question.... I never wear lipstick. I occasionally wear neutral-ish lipgloss on a night out but never reapply during the evening so it's always gone within the first 20 mins. I know as a spring, I 'should'. Can anybody suggest a Revlon lip butter that is springish? I gather they are more sheer than full lipstick so might be a good way for me to start trying lip colour out! Thank you

Gilly, you are a wealth of lovely links, I really love the MB scarf.
at unicorn lady. My postnatal woolly sleep deprived brain did get a little lost at times but I get where she's coming from. I don't understand why I am a bright spring though?! I'm not that high contrast, do have fairly strong brows but they and my hair are dark blond/brown naturally and my eyes middish blue. I would never get mistaken for a winter! I get that working to your contrast is the thing to do, I wish my consultant had mentioned this.
Thank you for the link to the unicorn lady, it's a very interesting site. Lots to go & read!
I'm confused really about the contrast thing still though as I'm completely different from most of you, have virtually no contrast, look complete opposite of Mary Poppins., pale skin, hair as light as it's possible to be blonde & my eyes are turquoise ( variously described as unusual, amazing, really strange 
)
My two star colours at 100% are all the blues & turquoises, leaf green & dove grey and two stars at 75% are navy, coral & poppy. The tans, yellows & browns are much lower rated for me except for banana & honey which get two stars at 50%.
My consultant never really mentioned contrast. Perhaps because there were three of us & the other two were related & had brought along extra family members to " view" so in all that I felt a bit outnumbered really.
My consultant diagnosed me as a Blue Spring, & am sure she was right as the drawings really popped the colours. So is that a True Spring on the unicorn lady's site then as I did wonder seeing as she didn't seem to have Blue Spring?
Thank you Beginner...flattery will get you everywhere! 
oh for an edit facility !Oh, Gillybobs, thanks for that, brilliant
Despite having enough makeup to restock Boots, I've got none of those except for the Clarins Papaya which is gorgeous.
And I'm definitely trying the mac sheer one gillybobs recommended!!

Ah - I had a mix of deep throat and orgasm on my wedding day! Had a spaceNK make-up person... Yeah - it probably is a bit sparkly - I should wear glasses really but don't . (Only a bit short sighted..!)
Am buying that lipstick, thank you gillybobs. And a new blusher probably!
Just a thought vitamin, but maybe start an autumn thread??? Bet loads of people would join in!! I've found all the suggestions on this one very interesting. Not that you're not welcome on this one . I still feel very inane (and a bit Bridget jones' mum) banging on about the whole 'colours' thing but love it....
