The universal-black myth
Black reflects little light and imposes maximum contrast. If your natural profile is soft, low-contrast or warm, black creates a break that hardens your face and brings out everything you would rather soften.
Tips & inspiration
Why black doesn't suit everyone
Black is sold as timeless and universal. It isn't. On some people it weighs down the features and dulls the skin instead of lifting it.
Who black actually works on
Black flatters high-contrast, cool-leaning profiles: Deep Winter, Cool Winter, Bright Winter. On these profiles, it naturally extends the intensity of the eyes and hair.
Alternatives that work better
Depending on your season: midnight blue, charcoal, deep brown, plum, forest green. These bring black's depth without its sharpness. A precise analysis tells you which actually work on you.
