We wake up to devstating news about Haiti.  Let us all pray for all Haitians.

For many women, black is a go-to color when it comes to wardrobe choices, because it can be very slimming and it goes with everything. But experts say black is not the universally flattering hue we all thought it was, and that often it can actually make you look old. Ouch!

The main problem with black, according to color consultants, is that it emphasizes dark lines, wrinkles and shadows on your face–sometimes when they’re not even really there. Colorist Jules Standish says, ‘the effect can be as serious as making women feel drained, self-conscious and introverted.’ To avoid this, she advises ditching hats, scarves and turtlenecks in black in exchange for brighter colors. And if you do want to wear a black top, she says to opt for one with a low neckline, or add a colorful necklace.

If you have a warm skin tone, you may want to avoid black because it actually detracts from your healthy glow and can make you look tired and aged. For women with pale, cooler coloring (think Anne Hathaway, Nicole Kidman, Liv Tyler, Dita von Teese, Nigella Lawson) black can be quite flattering.

Want to do a quick test? Standish offers up this advice: ‘Hold the colour up against your face, stand in front of the mirror and look for dark lines under the chin, shadows around the eyes or lines on the face that are highlighted. If there are no dark areas or shadows, you can probably wear black close to your face and look great - otherwise, change your ways.’
