What you've posted proves the point that everyone else here understands: "tone up" refers to exercise, not fashion.

Lisa McCarthy Aug 18, 2015:

@ Jude The reference you provided by 'Beavitt' (and Butthead?) is a terrible translation into English and is therefore useless. And anyway, they are referring to toning up your legs/body ("it even says "Tone up your whole body"). Do you not agree that the reference you provided is a bad translation?

TONE UP = TONIFICAR (only used in relation to your muscles/body)

No such thing as a "fashion tone up". No such phrase found on the internet anywhere.



You can say "blue star on a brown bag", "red star on a black bag" or "X star on a Y bag", where X represents one color and Y another.

And champagne is a color, as I thoroughly documented below. Thus, the phrase "champagne star on a brown bag" is not only grammatical, it is also logical, while "fashion tone up" is neither.

jude dabo Aug 18, 2015:

@isabel:Hope you saw the star detail on the bag?We call that fashion tone up on a brown bag.ok?You don't say champagne star on a brown bag.Cheers!

Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Aug 18, 2015:

tono = color Examples of "tono" used with colors in Spanish:

"look al detalle en tono morado intenso para ojos verdes"

"Pantalón de niña en tono azul con detalle en tono amarillo en el bajo "

"Set de collar y aretes de chaquira en color rosa con detalle en tono dorado "

"Bolso de dos asas y dos bolsillos · loneta tono arena y bolsillos en cuadro vichy naranja-blanco, detalle en tono teja"
Now, is someone going to suggest that the detail is supposed to look like a roof tile? Well, it doesn't: http://belentxugracia.com/post/87195866732/bolso-de-dos-asas...

"tono teja" is a color, just as "tono maquillaje" is a color.

"Sandalias para mujer Ezzio sandalia de charol en tono maquillaje con forma de "t" y tiras finas"
So, where's the "tone up" (sic) here? The patent leather is giving the shoes an extra touch?

And here?

Minivestido 60's en tono maquillaje

http://www.vogue.es/moda/espia/galerias/vestidos-largos-y-co...

Where's the "tone up" (sic)?

There isn't any, for the very simple reason that "tono maquillaje" is a color, just as "tono morado", "tono azul", "tono amarillo" are all colors.

Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Aug 18, 2015:

It's a colour "Tono maquillaje" obviously refers to a color, in this case, nude, flesh or skin-coloured, often translated as "champagne". Not one native speaker I have questioned has any doubt of this, nor did the asker.

There is no mention of any "broach" or "brooch" ("a piece of jewellery with a pin on the back that you fasten to your clothes", MacMillan) in the source text.

The verb "tone up" means "to make your body, muscles, or skin more firm and healthy" (MacMillan). There is no noun form, so the phrase "tone up fashion" is incorrect from the both perspective of the definition as well as grammar.

As for "tone up", I find not even a single example anywhere of "a tone up fashion" or "tone up fashion" (ditto "a make up fashion") anywhere on the internet, except Jude's example.

The word "champagne" as a color is well-established. It is found in all major English language dictionaries, Wikipedia and in hundreds if not thousands of examples on the internet. The idea that a word of French origin cannot be used in English is invalid; ecru, mauve, beige, carmine, maroon, blue, orange, violet, vermilion, turquoise, lilac, perse, scarlet, cerise are all English color words of French origin.

Helena Chavarria Aug 18, 2015:

@jude69 I'll write here because there is more space and I would like to make a few comments:

1. What do you mean by a 'stared broach'? Do you mean 'starred brooch?

2. In this case, the Spanish word 'tono' means 'colour', which means we are indeed referring to a pinkish-beige colour.

3. You don't give a brand new handbag a 'new look'. We give new looks to something that is old or looks old fashioned.

jude dabo Aug 15, 2015:

@Elizabeth:To my mind,the entire phrase should read STAR DETAILES AS A TONE UP FASHION.Cheers.

Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales Aug 14, 2015:

"Tono maquillaje" refers to what has traditionally been called "flesh-tone", but that translation is outdated; see my translation below.

I really don't understand the confusion. If you google "tono maquillaje" and "bolsos", "zapatos" or "vestidos", you'll see a variety of items all in various shades of a pinkish beige which is the color of white people's skin, as mentioned in my reference from The Guardian.
My daughter, 22 and raised in Spain, knew what it referred to instantly, and said that she'd call the color "skin" in English.
Of course makeup, just like skin, comes in a variety of colors, but "skin-colored" refers to only one of them, just as "tono maquillaje" does, hence the objection to its use.

Should there still be any confusion regarding the meaning of "tono maquillaje", the following should clear it up.

No makeup, no facial cleansing, just women in champagne-colored gowns.
