ABSOLUTE SPRING – [personality description]
The STRIKING SPRING (Spring-Winter) looks somewhat like a Firelight Winter. They can be Classic or Dramatic with the addition of being Creative, which is more fun and flirty, than the Dramatic style of a Winter. Sometimes a Striking Spring will think they are an Autumn in terms of personality, not understanding the strong duality of their nature. They may also think they are a Summer because they appear soft without the right makeup on, and both Spring and Winter are caring, when combined this may feel like the Phlegmatic nurturing quality.

The GLORIOUS SPRING (Spring-Autumn) looks very close to an Golden Autumn, and these two are the hardest to discern between, and they can actually share the most between palettes. They may be Classic, Natural or Romantic. [spring-autumn personality description]
