Finding Your Most Flattering Version

For fair skin with pink undertones, I go with soft rose or sheer cherry glosses.

They add life without overpowering.

Deeper skin tones glow in rich berry, plum, or even a hint of bronze gloss.

Which creates a stunning contrast against the skin.

If you’re wearing a bold eye, keep the gloss sheer and neutral.

But if your dress is simple, don’t be afraid to layer a pigmented gloss—it becomes the statement.

I always tell my clients: the gloss should complement, not compete, with your overall look.

✦ 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.
