I LOVE the holiday collections. The packaging is gorgeous and there is so much variation each year in colours <3
Spring and Autumn because I love jewel tones and pastels! I would say winter but that’s really gift-packaging season in makeup, and I don’t need any more gift sets!
Spring and Autumn as well, Spring because a lot of coral shades come out in lipstick and Fall because the shades are more natural.
Makeup is seasonless for me, but I guess I like all of them for the colors released, as I love the bright eyes of spring and summer and the dark lips of fall and winter
I’m with you 100%!
agreed! something in every season for me!
Definitely Fall/Autumn. Loooove cranberries and plums and more sultry colors. I do like summer for lip colors though! The pinks and peaches and corals are to die for!
Me too.
I love Fall the best, deeper colors for my very fair skin & Holidays are in the air !!
Spring/Summer. Companies always release gorgeous & innovative spring/summer collections as compared to fall/winter, not to mention the beautiful bronzers! Ironic because I absolutely hate the summer weather.
ITA!! Not a fan of hot sweaty humidness… Or hot dryness for that matter…
I’m stuck in some big time Hot dry high desert, ugh…I’m a high plains drifter dreaming of cooler, wetter weather. I watch The Killing partially for the weather…Oye.
I’m not a fan of this season due to the weather but summer is my fave for makeup. Light, airy and simple.
agree. It also goes along the lines of fresh, natural, and glowing.
Summer! I am all about corals as well. I also love greens and I am glad that this Summer, Chanel has put out plenty of greens and corals.
Spring and Summer! <3 Love all the bright bold colors ^-^
Autumn! I find that I can wear a great variety of colours in that season, and my skin usually looks best because the weather is neither too cold/dry nor too hot/humid!
Autumn , because I get to break out MAC Cyber !
Definitely Fall/Winter. Summer heat and make up can be a dreadful combination.
Fall, for sure. Spring makeup is fun too, though.
Summer and Fall
I LOVE pinks and neutrals and Spring is the most fun for me! Softer shades that slowly bring us out of Winter’s darkness into Summer’s craziness…
fall/winter! i love the warmth and depth of the autumnal colors and the fun sparkly holiday looks that we generally skip in the summer.
Summer!
Spring or Summer. I love shades of coral, gold, bronze and blue-green.
winter, then my make up doesnt melt off.
I love Spring! I love pastels, especially lavendar and mint green! Summer is a close second because I love bronzy and golden looks! Plus, Im a surfer girl at heart, so Summer always makes me feel happy and sunny!
Think it might be Autumn collections for me, those colours just seem to suit me better. Was well impressed by the Autumn collection for Chanel 2010, those deep greyish purples = FAB!!!
mine is fall! i love the browns, the coppers, the plums and all these warm rich colors. <3
Spring/Summer – I love just lining the eye with bright solours like green and turqoise, so fresh and fun =)
Autumn. It’s my favourite season anyway, and I love the richer colours for lips and cheeks and the browns, plums and greens that so often pop up for eyes – rich, burnished colours, usually, rather than sheer or uber-frosty.
My favourite makeup seasons would have to be fall and winter. Fall because of all the rich warm colours and winter because it’s all about the glamour and sparkle.
Autumm.
Summer as well!!Love my bronzers and corals 🙂 Nothing like a sun kissed skin.
Winter!!! I definitely LOVE dark colors and pale skin 🙂
Spring and Summer. Because all the cutest colors are launched ! by any make up brand 🙂 and maybe a little for autumn…
I. LOVE. AUTUMN. The deep dark colours like maroons and plums always, always, always, get me excited.
Year round–I don’t coordinate my makeup with the season 😛
definetely fall/winter.actually I wear winter colors in every season:) fair skin-bold lips-dark nails are the best!
I have to agree, Summer is my favorite by far. Coral just looks the best on me and I always get compliments when I wear coral lipstick. My least favorite would be Holiday/Winter. I think it’s the drab colors and the weather that sort of bums me out and makes me less than excited to purchase!
Fall and Spring…. I feel like the Fall and spring colors always tend to go much better with my pale skin 🙂
Summer! Tinted moisturizer, bronzer, lip gloss, pretty blushes, etc.
Summer is definitely my favorite season.
i don’t think i can decide! i love all seasons for make up. i think make up is more important for me in the winter – because im not a cold weather person and always feel warmer w/ winter make up on my face
I agree with Christine and Shontay–summer CORALS brighten my complexion like no other! I also love the oranges, golds, chartreuse greens and yellows for summer!
Fall for sure! I love when the deeper tones come out 🙂 Also, I don’t have to worry about sweating off everything like in the summer
I tried to get into corals ( Benefit’s coralistia, Nar’s orgasm) after you shared your obsession with them but I have started to discover corals and peach tones are not my favorite families of color against my skin tone. I will still keep an open mind towards corals though :).
Summer. Playing with color is encouraged more, so more companies release out there colors.
I love the fall colors
i would probably say fall and winter b/c i like dramatic looks and darker colors. Summer is my fav. season for weather though, beachtime!
autumn/winter, i love perfect matte skin, and dark, smokey eyes. they look a bit strange in the summer though.
Summer, definitely! I’m quite fair but I love a rich tan, and it’s much more believable – on me at least! – in the summer. I too love bright corals and pinks, and just love the warm sunshine too!
Summer because I have a weak spot for bronzers! Holiday collections are gorgeous too.
I will wear bright colors in winter so makeup is seasonless for me. But I love the packaging of holiday collections and the actual products and colors that come out in summer.
Autumn
I love summer & autumn. I love summers bronzy coral tones but im a sucker for fall & their sultry colors. Im a fiend for plum & burgundy.
Autumn, it’s the most stylish and trendy of all seasons
Summer would be 2nd, since I like bronzers
Spring! New collections and new colors!
summer or fall. im a sucker for goldy warm colours!
SUMMER! I wear more fun things since I am off from work 🙂 Two and half weeks and counting!
Definitely fall for me. I love the deep plums and golds.
all of them?? lol! i love spring for the color!!! summer for the laid-back bonze and coral stuff that’s everywhere!! fall for the dark colors because when i wear makeup myself, it’s dark! so i get to buy stuff for me 😉 and winter because i love seeing the holiday collections coming out… not that we need to start thinking about that right away. i want a few sunshine and 75 degree days first! please? lol
Autumn! Gimmie them dark and jewel tones.
Fall! =)
Probably summer, I love being super bronzed and glowy and using golds and corals.. but I have to say I do miss wearing the super dark purple lipsticks that I love so much in Autumn and Winter
Fall! I love wearing dark colours on my eyes paired with fair skin, I basically wear fall looks all year around. I also like the glowy “non make up” looks from spring especially if they’re paired with a bright lip.
Summer for lips and cheeks, Fall for eye makeup =]
Spring/Summer of late as I am liking a much softer, non-make-up face look.
For me make-up is kinda seasonless. But I love fall collections for the rich colors and winter for the awesome gift set deals!
fall-i just love everything about fall, the fashion, leaves, and red lipstick!!!!
hmm. I love everything, but probably fall and Summer!
Summer, because I love doing bright looks! But I love the dramatic lips of winter 🙂
By far it would have to be Fall. I love that I can wear heavier pigments in warm shades and pretty jewel tones and get away with it. I live in such a humid climate, that there are many days in Spring and Summer that I go without makeup all together! That’s hard for me, but I hate when it runs down to my knees. In winter, my skin is dry and sensitive so Fall seems to be perfect makeup weather to me.
I’d have to say my favorite season is definitely SUMMER! I love me some bronze, gold, and coral shades! 🙂
Summer! Corals bronzer and brights!
I like holiday season for its collections and amped up sparkles. Aside from that, whatever nets me jewel-toned eyes and nuder/natural lips, since that’s what I lean towards, style-wise.
I don’t personally observe seasons when it comes to wearing and applying anything.
I love the summer collections!! I love the aquas, corals and golds! 🙂
Definitely Summer!
Summer – bye bye dry patches with 0 effort involved! And lovely light foundation
Fall and Winter Smokey eyes and blood red lips please:P
Summer and Fall are my two favorite makeup seasons. I love rich vibrant colors.
Fall/Winter. IMO cold weather allows me to be cosmetically dramatic. And,I love deep colors in rich formulations as well as cashmere, velvet, leather…Sping/Summer allegies prohibit me from enhancing anything successfully but my lips and I despise hot, humid weather.
As far as makeup goes, spring and summer because its easier to pull off any look in those seasons and…. I love bright colors!
bronzy summer looks and richer fall colors….also matching my makeup to root for fave NFL teams on game day!
