Getting Black to Basics

It's the nation's favourite colour, we live in it, it's slimming, and an all round reliable shade. Yes, black is the colour we love. It's a pity there aren't fifty shades of it. I think it can be argued that essentially it's no longer a trend, as it's a year-round national obsession, but right now, the palette for Winter is dark. And, although we've argued on the side of navy, black still wins out every time.

So if we need to edit down the best of black, what do we at Beaut HQ have our eyes on? Well, feast your eyes on these beauties.
