2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on Ashley Benson spices up her black dress and jacket with red heels.
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
If your skin has warm undertones, swap the cherry red for a brick or terracotta heel.
It’ll feel more harmonious.
Cool undertones can rock a blue-based red like Ashley’s.
Which makes teeth look whiter and skin brighter.
For texture, try patent leather for a night-out shine or suede for a softer, date-night vibe.
If you want to tone down the drama, choose a block heel or a pointed flat in the same red.
Still adds that kick without screaming.
✦ 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.
