2. Customizing Undertones, Shades & Proportions
Welcome to Part 2 of my breakdown on Work Fashion Forward: 17 Outfits for the Aspiring Young Professional.
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
If you have warm undertones, swap the cool-toned bronzer for a peachy one and choose a rose-nude lipstick instead of a beige-nude.
For deeper skin tones, deepen the bronze and go for a mauve or berry lip.
Still professional, just with more oomph.
Texture-wise, if you’re oily, stick to powder products on the cheeks; if you’re dry, use cream blush and a liquid highlighter.
The proportions stay the same balance is key.
But the finish adapts to your skin’s needs.
✦ 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.
Always check how the finish and proportions look in both natural window light and warm indoor lighting so the result feels effortless from every angle.
