Chloe’s Breakthrough: Finding Her Shade in a World That Kept Missing It

Chloe is radiant—confident, warm, and effortlessly stylish. As a bi-racial woman with a rich, nuanced complexion, she had always stood out in the best way. But behind her polished appearance was a quiet frustration she rarely shared: finding the right makeup shades had always felt like a battle.

“I felt stuck between two worlds,” she told us. “So many brands geared products toward either very fair skin or deep complexions—but my skin tone was somewhere in the middle. Too warm for the ‘light’ shades, too cool or muted for the ‘tan’ ones.”

Chloe didn’t expect miracles when she reached out to The Palette Edit. She just hoped for clarity—especially with foundation. The endless shade swatching, the half-used bottles, the trial-and-error from both drugstore and prestige counters—it had become exhausting.

We assured her that her experience wasn’t unusual. The Palette Edit specializes in decoding undertones and translating them into exact, usable product matches—whether from luxury brands or affordable ones.

Chloe sent in segmented photos of her face, lips, eyes, and hair. No full-face, makeup-free photo required. What came back surprised her: she was a True Autumn, with golden-olive undertones and a deep warmth that needed balance, not contrast.

More importantly, she received a full list of makeup recommendations tailored to her color season across all price points—including foundations and concealers that actually matched her skin. Brands that had never felt “made for her” before were suddenly working. And not just working—flattering her in ways she’d never experienced.

She started with budget-friendly options first: foundation, blush, and lipstick. The transformation was immediate. “I don’t feel like I’m covering my face anymore,” she said. “It just looks like me, but better.”

Her coworkers started asking what skincare she’d switched to. (Spoiler: none.) The compliments weren’t about makeup—they were about her glow.

At The Palette Edit, our mission is simple: every woman deserves to be seen in her true colors. Chloe wasn’t missing anything. She just needed a guide to decode the noise. Now? She’s not just confident. She’s empowered.
