    this is my absolute favorite black eyeshadow. It blends so well and is a flat black color. I am surprised that as much as I use it there isn't even a slight dip in it. Very pigmented & no color...

    This is a very good, near black eyeshadow. When comparing it with other black shadows (as pointed out by a MAC Associate), you can tell its not exactly BLACK black, but it's a pretty darn close...

    Very nice matte black eyeshadow. I wish it was a little more pigmented, I really have to pack it on sometimes to get a nice dark color. Great as a liner or on the outer V. When I got this color,...

    I agree with a lot of the other reviews that this is a difficult e/s to blend. However, it is a good matte black that is fairly versatile. Carbon is a staple in my arsenal, but I do have other...

    This is the most well used eyeshadow I have ever used. Any colour can be deepened and the crease darkened using this. Make this the first eyeshadow you get and you won't regret it.

    ive liked almost every mac product i bought so far. This is great for deepening a look or for daily use over an eyeliner to make it stay. i use this everyday to absorb excess oil in my eyeliner. ...

    Not that pigmented and difficult to blend. There are much better matte blacks out there, like Nars Pandora. This one is so overrated.

    I have a love/hate relationship with Carbon. IMO, it is one of MAC's least blendable, hardest shadows. What I love about it is the result that comes from building it to make a completely black...

    I really like this color. It's very matte so it's tough to blend so becareful as it can become a little blotchy when applied all over the lid, but then again that's what you get with a matte...

    very nice matte black e/s but def not the best. While it's not super hard to blend, you'd expect it to be a bit easier to work with. i would never say this is the blackest of the blacks either, but...
