What foundation undertone should a True Spring look for?
Golden undertone; a touch of warmth beats a touch of pink.
True Spring coloring is warm (golden/yellow-based), medium in depth, and clear and true. Foundation is the one product where getting the undertone wrong is visible from across a room, so test it on your jaw in daylight and look for the shade that disappears rather than the one that matches the back of your hand.

True Spring makeup: common questions
What is the most flattering lipstick shade for a True Spring?
Tomato Red (#E04B3A) — it is the most pigmented lip-range color in the True Spring palette, which is why it is the one shade to buy first. The wider direction from the True Spring report is true coral, warm poppy and peachy red — clear, never muted.
Can a True Spring wear a nude lip?
Yes, and the True Spring version of nude is Shell Pink (#F2A6B0) — the lightest, least pigmented color in the palette's lip range. A nude borrowed from a different season is what reads as "wrong shade of concealer" rather than nude.
Should a True Spring wear bronzer or gold-toned shimmer?
True Spring metals are gold, and shimmer follows the same rule as jewelry. Lead with gold-toned product; bright silver, chrome and white gold near the face.
Does a True Spring suit a bold lip or a soft one?
True Spring coloring is clear and true, so the palette answers this directly: 3 of its colors carry enough pigment for a statement lip and 3 sit soft enough for a wash. Fresh coral or warm peach is the everyday setting.
