Celebrity 'Brunette' Springs

I have to say that I am now completely fascinated with the concept of a brunette or dark haired spring.  I decided to research various spring celebrities that have gone darker or are naturally dark, to simply show the versatility of being a spring.  What I love about springs is that they can really morph from Light to Warm to Clear.  Here is a little tribute to the dark haired spring:



Charlize Theron is a stunning spring.  With her usual light blonde hair she gravitates between a light and slightly warm spring, but as a brunette, Charlize could really work the clear spring palette. 



This photo is the perfect example of how a warm spring can morph into a clear spring and how beautiful a brunette/dark haired spring really is.  I didn't particularily like when Lindsay Lohan went dark at first, but I think that was because her makeup was always too light - with bright, clear makeup tones and uber-dark hair - I think she looks stunning!!!


Here is another picture of Lindsay with a darker more red-based brunette shade - I like the peachy tones of her makeup and how they play on her true spring colouring.



Here is another example of how a spring can morph based on her hair-colour - Kate Hudson is a beautiful light spring in the picture on the left and completely converts into a stunning warm spring on the right.  I think I prefer Kate with the blonde hair, but I wanted to post this picture as an example of how versaile the spring palette really is!



Beleive it or not, this is actually a picture of Marcia Cross sporting a chocolate brown brunette hair colour.  Although she still works the spring shades quite well with the darker hair - her 'signature' and best look is with her flaming red-copper hair.


Fergie really works the spring colour palette in this photo - check out the coral toned background and how well it compliments her colouring.  She looks amazing as a brunette spring!  Fergie is another celebrity that always seems to wear nude and neutral shades of makeup and although its not a bad look for her - I'd like to see her wearing more clear spring shades - I think she would really come to life in these colours!



I love Amy Adams  - she is one of my favourite actresses and I think she is so talented, regardless of what role she plays.  I recently saw her in 'Leap Year' and I think its one of the best 'romantic comedies' out there - so cute, funny and warming to the heart!  Amy stays true to her light auburn hair, but in this photo, she takes it up a notch and really deepens her auburn mane - I love how she balances the depth of the colour with a sexy smokey eye and light peach lips.  To me, this is such a sexy evening look for a spring!!!

Thanks for putting up with my current 'spring' obsession, but I feel the need to blog about it because I feel that brunette springs are so stunning and often mis-represented as winters.  Also, I wanted to show how well springs can morph from light to warm to clear!!!

I like Kate Hudson better in the warm spring picture! It seems to be the more genuine her and I know it is her natural hair color from old photos. So is she really a warm spring or light spring? What is her true season? Thank you. And why does she look so fabulous in Summer colors? I could find 50 photos of her in not Spring, but Summer colors looking stunning....

I think Kate Hudson is a light spring, which leans into light summer. It's really hard sometimes to determine celebrities because make up artists do such a great job at creating various looks. Perhaps there is more summer in her vs spring. However, I've always seen her look best in light spring colours - she seems to naturally glow in these shades :)
