2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on The Lip Glosses You Need in Your Collection.
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 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.
