I am totally a summer gal! I love the corals and golds and bronzes!

This is my favorite question! I LOVE spring makeup!

I really love Fall makeup: dark, rich colors. The makeup collections are always gorgeous in Fall. Though Spring is absolutely a close second because I love the light, bright, fun shades!

I am definitely a Southern Cali girl and I love the summer but, when it comes to make up, I enjoy the Fall. I can get away with a red lip and smokey eye during the day. I love the fashion during the Fall— and great fashion doesn’t look all that great when your face doesn’t match your clothes. 🙂

spring and fall. i don’t like summer and winter.

i love using different hues of blush in spring and wearing darker lips in the fall.

in summer and winter, i stop wearing make-up.

Probably autumn. Love deep purples and greens for the eyes, creamy rose and berry for lips and nails, tawny beiges and flushed pink cheeks.

Plus the nights are cold but the days are usually still and clear!

I am very pale and cool-toned also, but I love summer for the bright colours and the sheer forumlas. I like the tinted moisturizers and lip balm, but I also love the pigmented bright pinks and corals. I stay away from bronzes though.

I like pink based corals, pinks, sometimes. For the most part though, I prefer deep plums, reds, etc. So there are elements of summer I like…. But all of the bronzes, “fakeatan” products,yellow based shades just don’t appeal. In all honesty, most of the “summery” brights, I usually buy out of season, from permanent collections.

I never ever buy full collections, so it’s really pick’n’choose what works for me. All the same, spring & autumn collections tend to have more for me: peach/coral blushes and muted/grayed/earth toned eyeshadows.

Simone Avatar

I can’t pick. I love my dark smokey make up and vampy lips in fall, winter for glittery smokey eyes with a pale pink lip and just in from the cold blush but in spring I love the flirty lips and eyes with it all fairly natural but fun and summer for my bronze and gold eyes bright lips!

Rosie Avatar

Considering the fact that I’m trying to get away with summer looks already, I think it’s safe to say that it’s summer! You can be gold, bronze, or bright and bold and no one thinks twice because it’s beautiful and sunny :).

I totally do not enjoy summer make up! Being in Hong Kong with 30+ degree celcius and 80-90% humidity, I really don’t like applying make up under that circumstances. I like Autumn and Winter because I can get away with darker and vampier colours.

I am kind of torn between fall & spring…I like the fall cause I like nudes but I also love spring cause the colors seem to pop and look so vibrant! It reminds me of coming out of hibernation…if that makes any sense…haha 🙂

Saki Avatar

Definitely fall!! I love how you can get away with wearing almost anything in autumn! I’m a total sucker for dark colours (especially lips!) and dramatic, over the top looks 🙂

Emily Avatar

I LOVE holiday sets and I LOVE glitter! But I also really love all fall, and most Spring. Not Summer as much, I’m super pale so bronzey colors don’t always look great on me.

Holiday – as in winter/December – when everything has that extra special sparkle. I think the most interesting products I have fallen in love with have been part of gorgeous, festive, shimmery holiday collections.

That said, I think I have to agree with you about summer as my second choice, because I too adore gorgeous sun-kissed metallics like bronze, copper, gold. (Can you tell I am a shimmer/sparkle girl?) Everything just seems a bit more fun and laid back and less “serious” in summer too – like you can indulge the desire to just frolic. Great question!

I love fall/autumn colors. The subdued dark hues are so great for sultry looks and they tend to go really well with my medium olive skin tone.

Nina Avatar

I love fall! Dark colors coming out! I love the bold cherry lips or nearly black purples, and crazy fall eyes….and I’m not afraid to wear it all year long….I however don’t mind wearing a pop of blush and a magenta lip either 🙂

Ooh, I don’t know. I don’t really wear season specific make up anyway, just what I fancy, so it doesn’t change with the seasons. But I’m not too keen on summer make up wise when it’s too hot and everything melts off my face, I prefer the cooler spring weather for that. But I do like summer colours as well as spring colours, and pretty much any colour, lol.

LNU Avatar

All of them! LOL. I love neutrals, deep smoky fall colors, shimmering winter colors, and bronzes have their own special place in my heart for summer.

Jordan Avatar

I am a summer girl because like you, I LOVE bronzes and golds and such. But Holiday Sets are the best things ever, so thats my all time favorite!

Daniela Avatar

def.. SUMMER
you can get away with nice neutral smokey eyes or just plain everyday makeup or go all out with bright fun colors and i love bronzer so fashooo summer(:
but i like fall too(:

Lorna Avatar

i tend to do light lips and dark smokey eyes so depending on the season, i prefer spring for lip products and fall for eye products.

i love spring for the light, wearable pastel colors because it’s something i can wear anytime and i don’t have to think about blending so much.

i love the fall for the intense and dramatic color selection especially with the eye products.

i love the holiday season just because each brand usually has some crazy holiday set where i can try out a bunch of products. i love how everything gets glittery and sparkly for the holiday season.

i tend to not like summer collections because i am too lazy to do the whole bronzer thing. since i live in so cal, i do love the proliferation of SPF products though.

i tend to not like winter collections because a lot of collections tend to do the frosty/ icy looks which i think can be too obvious and i don’t like the way it looks on me. i try to stay fairly matte for my skin so i don’t end up looking like a giant glitter-ball.

Gee, I don’t know! Spring is my favorite time of year. I always feel like new things are happening and everything is fresh and alive. Makes me feel good, so I want to look good, too. Summer is just plain fun, so fun summer makeup like a coral pedi and hot pink lips can be worn. Fall is a great time to don the jewel tones and darker colors that look good with my coloring. And then there are the holiday parties in winter when we can go all out glam with reds, greens, silver & gold, diamond sparkles, and glitter. I guess every season is my favorite season for makeup.

I’m a summer girl!
I love coral lips and tanned, glowy skin. Although I do love the soft pastels of spring and dark, sultry colors of fall, I like summery makeup the best.

My favorite “season” for makeup is definitely spring-summer. I am more likely to wear bright colors and try different looks. I am excited for warmer weather!
