This shadow is a must have for me. Been using this for 10 years now and on my 4th one. It lasts a very long time. As for the color payoff, it's highly pigmented, very black, and versatile. I use it...

Very good eyeshadow, a little bit goes a long way. A excellent matte color. Even though it is great, they're alot of companies that make the same shade for alot cheaper, like nyx for example. Idk...

This is a great matte black shade that everyone should have. Its perfect as a liner shadow or as a color for a smoky eye. A basic color for every girl to have.

I bought this eyeshadow after recommended on a make-up forum. This was my first mac e/s.

A musthave!! Can be used as a darkener or blender, but also as a dramatic matte black cover. I cant imagine anyone regretting this purchase.

Carbon is an off-black e/s that is not very pigmented IMO. I'm really disappointed with this color. I find that it does not blend well. I'm glad that I also purchased Black pigment which is very...

This is a really good eyeshadow, but I don't get the point of it being $14. It's not a special color most other brands carry a color identical to this. Why just because it's MAC? I think the NYX in...

The HG of all black eyeshadows. I love it because it's very buildable and you can make it as dramatic or as subtle as you like. LOVE it!

IMO you can't have an eyeshadow collection & not have a great black eyeshadow for the crease or eyeliner. Great matte black- staying power is much better than d/s black eye shadows I have purchased...

This should be a staple eyeshadow in everyone's makeup case. Very versatile and I use it daily on top of my eyeliner for holding power. By doing this, it prevents smudging which I absolutely hate.
