Toni Carver is a Colour Analysis and Style Consultant at TLC Style & Colour, and is featured as our Maker of the Month for December. She provides advice and knowledge on all things fashion to help her clients transform their wardrobes and their image.
We contact Toni to find out about why she loves Wakefield, all about her business and what’s next for her company.
“I give the gift of confidence! When you understand what suits you, you’ll save yourself time and money as you’ll be able to make informed decisions and build a wardrobe of items which all suit you.”
“Before joining the world of colour and style, I spent over 20 years in the financial services sector, working closely with financial advisers and investment providers. My passion for personal styling and colour analysis was ignited in my 20s when I experienced an image consultation that significantly boosted my confidence.”
“In 2011, while continuing a full-time corporate role, I made a decision to pursue my interest in empowering women (and a few men!) through colour and style by training with Colour Me Beautiful. “
“By 2019, I decided to leave behind my corporate career, committing full-time to my colour and style business. Now, I’m a multi-award winning consultant, and haven’t looked back since!”
“Learning what suits you, from the colour of your clothes and makeup, to the style, shape and cut of your clothes transforms not just how you dress, but also how you feel. I never tire of seeing this transformation with clients. Mistake buys really do become a thing of the past!”
“I was brought up in Huddersfield and moved to Wakefield in 2005 and love it here! I’m a Yorkshire lass and love how down to earth Wakey is. There’s no reason to move!”
“I am blessed to have worked with some amazing clients over the years. Everyone is different and from all walks of life! Colour analysis is by far my most popular service! The energy that colour brings into our lives plus the endless ways of wearing colour is the reason that my colour analysis consultations are so popular.”
“When you wear colour near your face, the light reflects it upwards. This can either cast a flattering tone, or dark shadows against your features, depending on the colours you’re wearing, and your overall features (ie. your skin, eye and hair colour). Opting for colours which are right for you, your skin will look radiant and your eyes will appear brighter. But, when you wear colours that aren’t as flattering for your features, they’ll make you look tired and unwell.”
“Everyone can wear every colour, but not every shade of every colour will suit you the same. If you’ve been experimenting with colour, or found that certain colours did look good on you, and now no longer do, colour analysis could be a worthwhile investment. I’ll show you the colours that look amazing on you so that you can look and feel good every day, with my colour analysis consultations.”
“Colour analysis has moved on from the 80s! Using a more modern system based on Albert Munsell’s findings; the ‘tonal' system of colour analysis offers a more flexible and descriptive way of analysing colour.”
“My diary is open for Colour Analysis and Style consultation bookings and I’ll have some new workshops and group sessions in 2025. Alongside my client appointments, I’ll also be a new Colour me Beautiful Trainer helping the next generation of stylists around the globe!”
“Full details of my colour and style packages are available on my website: www.tlcstyleandcolour.co.uk and gift vouchers are also available!”
