2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on art dark room.
Before you lock in your final formula or outfit pairing, here is how I adapt the tones and textures for each client.
Pin Look
Finding Your Most Flattering Version
For cool undertones, stick with true charcoal and icy taupe shadows.
And use a blue-based red lip for a striking pop.
Warm undertones can swap in bronze and espresso shades.
And a terracotta lip keeps everything harmonious.
If you prefer a softer vibe, skip the winged liner and blend the shadow outward for a diffused, smoky halo.
For more drama, add a hint of shimmer on the center of the lids and a deeper crease.
Just keep the rest of the face clean to maintain that editorial balance.
✦ 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.
