There are some comparative characteristics of the skin color types:
The basic tone of spring nuances – yellow. That is why the tints of this type are more cheerful and brighter than the nuances of the same basic tone for fall gamut.
The basic tone of fall nuances – red. That is why they look richer, heavier, and of sallower complexion than the allied spring ones.
Now let’s distinguish each type thoroughly.
Spring tone type women are typical for:
- Skin – face transparent paleness, delicate gold tone, slight colour of peach hue. Spring type is characteristic by the natural radiation due to such a face color.
- Freckles – if there are any, they are gold-brown.
- Lips – warm red.
- Eyelashes and eyebrows – they are of the same tint that the hair is (light or brown) but in fact they could be a bit darker than hair.
- Sun tan – spring skin type acquires the tan pretty easy despite the delicate skin color. The skin gets the warm reddish-honey, gold-brown or dark-brow hue (that is the main distinction from the fall skin color type that doesn’t tan so well).
- Hair – these are the blonds. Hair tint is goldish or red. There are light and middle dark hues, but there are gold-yellow or gold-red tints in any case too. Spring type women go best with gold-yellow, honey, gold-reddish, copper-red hues when dyeing or streaking.
- Eyes – natural eye colors are: delicate-blue, grey-blue, grey-green, light brown, turquoise.
- Face skin color – the basic tone – cool, that’s why the skin looks tender and noble.
Fall tone type women are typical for:
- Skin – 2 skin color sorts:
1. Even-light, warm ivory or goldish champagne hues.
2. Bright gold-beige or peach tones (this tint is darker than the one of the spring type and colourless).
- Freckles – the fall color type is characteristic by the red or yellow-brown freckles and moles.
- Lips – all women of this color type have bright lips.
- Eyebrows – brown or reddish. There are thick but too light eyelashes very often.
- Sun tan – fall type women get the tan not so well in comparison with the spring type one (the skin becomes red but doesn’t tan).
- Hair – saturated red, gold-red, and just red tints but there are also some pretty dark nuances. Such hair color set off the skin paleness showily. If you dye your hair regularly try warm tints shot with red: from red-gold to chestnut-coloured but avoid cool bluish hues (like mahogany) as they create a poor contrast between the warm face and cold hair colors.
- Eyes – amber yellow, nut-brown, dark-brown, motton blue, turquoise-blue, green and yellow-green.
Celebs of the warm skin tone: Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Fergie, Charlize Theron, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Jennifer Lopez and so on.

What the hell are you trying to say? Your writing is very confused and now so am I!

You are incorrect in stating that Spring is a cool skin tone. Spring and Fall are both opposite each other for shades but this means they are the same when it comes to their warm tone. Winter and Summer are both the Cool skin tone family, with summer having the lighter shades of the cool family.
Go research your information a bit better before publishing it on a website. Fall and Spring are both WARM complexions and they both tan easily. Winter and Summer are COOL complexions and they burn easily.

Dear Heather. Read the post title correctly! It says: “Skin Color Seasons: WARM Skin Tone Type”. And the article is about Spring and Fall (- a warm skin tone type as you know)! If you still think you’re right, then cite the words and prove me wrong!
Sincerely yours, Mary Rise.

Heather was referring to your last bullet point under the Spring Tone type heading. To quote what you wrote: “Face skin color – the basic tone – cool, that’s why the skin looks tender and noble.”

I see you have posted Catherine Zeta-Jones’ picture as one example of a warm season. That is just wrong. In reality, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a true example of the winter type. She is NOT an Autumn. In the picture you have of her above, the ice cold violet undertones of her skin are so strong, they are actually overtaking the fake sepia tint in the picture and turning it a purple tint.
Her winter tones are so absolute, I don’t see how anyone can see ANY Autumn in her at all. If you put warm colors on her beautiful cold skin tone, you will wash her out. I mean, you had to use a sepia brown photo of her to turn her even a tad warm, and it still doesn’t work. Her blueness comes right through.

im very pale and burn easily but my skintone is very warm and i have naturally light brown reddish hair so a lot of you are wrong. just because you are very pale doesn’t always mean your skintone is cool.
