Learn the art of tonal

Dressing head-to-toe in one colour is a skill, known as tonal style. The right colour to suit your skin tone and hair colour looks instantly chic and super sophisticated look and it’s a trend that works brilliantly for your interior style says style director Louise Hilsz.

Earthy shades of turmeric, olive and tan are everywhere this season, worn together they make a great tone-on-tone combination. Make sure the fabrics have a slight sheen, and the look is casual but luxe.

Beauty

The goal of achieving a tone-on-tone makeup look is to show off your skin in the very best light. Highlighter is an essential beauty buy, in shades of pink, peach, and bronze, and keep every product you use around two shades darker than your natural skin colour. And then finish this look with well-groomed brows and well-dressed lashes.
