    I love this product. I use this as my shadow and liner on my lids. Can be used with a wet brush for a more dramatic look. I will always use this shadow. ;)

    I purchased this shadow after reading some reviews online saying it was the blackest eyeshadow out there.... So I was deeply disappointed when I went home to use it and discovered it was chalky and...

    Great basic matte eyeshadow. When I first started experimenting with makeup I never understood why I would need a black eyeshadow. Afterall I was never into the goth look and did not understand why...

    Wow. I just cannot believe how bad this eyeshadow is. I hate to say this, but it is the worst eyeshadow I've ever used. MAC got one thing right--the naming. Carbon, yes. Chalky and not so black. If...

    This is a basic black shadow. I apply this shadow with pretty much any small stiff brush or flat brush...if you use a "fluffy" brush it tends to get everywhere. I use this product everyday (eye...

    I don't think this is the best black eyeshadow in the world, but I don't think it's the worst. To me it's extremely hard to blend, I try to use it as an outer crease color and I feel like I have to...

    Carbon is such a versatile, matte black eyeshadow with excellent color pay-off. Can be worn bold and opaque or as sheer as you like. I have used this shadow as an eyeliner (both wet and dry), as...

    A matte black, highly pigmented. Can go on either sheer or opaque. Blends well for a matte and because it is black, it compliments every colour. I like to use this as liner if im feeling more of a...

    Carbon is a great black matte eyeshadow which I use as an eyeliner. Most liners are too harsh on me, and that is why I prefer to use eyeshadows as my liner and Carbon is a perfect choice for me...

    This black e/s is just o.k. or is something wrong with me? It turns a dark blue on my skin, I am a MAC NC45. The black in the Coastal Scents palatte is more of a true black to me. I think imma...

    As everyone has said, this isn't pure black. It can be if you build it, but it's a pretty "sheer" black, in my opinion. I think this makes it incredibly versatile. You can use a bit of this on a...

    I've been a MAC addict for 5 years now and I can tell you that this used to be a pure black shadow (1 pot lasted me damn near 4 years). Now, it's a super dark grey. Seems like I have to use a...

    This is not a good eyeshadow. You have to pull on your eye lid just to blend this shadow. Don't waste your money on this one. Try the black eyeshadow from NYX it is better than this. Or if you...

    I really don't like this eyeshadow for a few big reasons. 1. No matter what base I use, the shadow does not blend well. 2. It doesn't last all night 3. The powder gets all over my face 4. ...

    This color is over-priced and over-hyped. I was expecting a nice, blendable matte black; what I got was a blotchy mess that took two layers to come up black instead of gray. I know it's not "just...
