Radiant Tones

Often beauty and fashion demand the bold, usually with dark eyes and red lips, forgetting the allure of softness, of tenderness. To explain, it’s the kind of beauty Deborah Kerr or Grace Kelly might use to seduce Cary Grant in a movie. It’s not pale and washed out, it’s coloured but with pastel and tinted colours, a heightened reality if you like. These images bring softness with power, confidence and glamour, a sexiness that’s underplayed.
Think of a wisp of tulle, a silken scarf, windswept hair, a tiny clutch, shimmering nails, discrete jewels, they offer a woman of confidence and allure. Luxury and subtlety are hand in hand in these beauty images, the woman we are gazing at is radiant, when she enters a room heads turn, but she’s discrete, secrets are safe with her because she knows exactly who she is. No vamp is she, but something much more dangerous, she’s simply beautiful; she is a star.
