SONJA, 32: SECRETARY

Experts advise women to lighten their natural hair colour as they get older because it is more flattering to skin tone. We don’t necessarily agree. If you have never coloured your hair before or feel nervous about choosing the right colour, best choose a lighter version of your natural hair colour. Dark, thick eyebrows can look heavy with blonde hair. Shape them into a finer arch, and if they still look too heavy, have them professionally lightened to two shades darker than your hair. If you are blonde, the most flattering eyebrow colour is the same, or one shade darker, than your hair colour. A golden knitted top added radiance, shine and glamour to Sonja’s Medium skin tone.
