Before you lock in your final formula or outfit pairing, here is how I adapt the tones and textures for each client.

Finding Your Most Flattering Version
For warm undertones (think olive or golden), lean into camel, rust.
And burnt sienna they’ll make your skin glow without any shimmer.
If you’re cooler or fair, swap those for dusty rose, slate blue.
And charcoal, and choose a lip with a hint of mauve instead of brick.
Texture matters just as much as color.
In a tweed blazer or wool coat, keep your base demi-matte and your blush cream-based; in silk or cashmere, you can go for a satin finish on the eyes.
The goal is to echo the fabric’s weight—heavy fabrics want lighter makeup, and vice versa.
✦ Which Finish Fits Your Vibe?
- Velvet Rose-Gold Glow: Effortless, soft-focus dimension that flatters every skin tone in daytime or candlelight.
- High-Impact Statement Finish: Crisp lines, rich pigment payoff, and bold contrast for evening events or street-style photos.
- Balanced Proportions: Keep one feature bold while letting the surrounding textures stay airy and breathable.
