    I really didn't like this matte eyeshadow.. It's hard to blend and also really hard to get off... I don't find this eyeshadow as appealing as other MAC eyeshadows...

    My favorite product by MAC. I use this absolutely every day. Very versatile as a matte eyeshadow, used damp as an eyeliner, or dry to set a pencil or cream eyeliner. You can't really go wrong with...

    Very hard to blend! I wouldn't recommend for a smokey eye either. It just doesn't go where you want to when applying!

    I love this product, however it works much better as an eyeliner. It does not blend well at all or it would make a very pretty eyeshadow. I also noticed that if worn throughout the day (without a...

    HG staple for smokey eyes, I use this one with MAC electra. Very versitale, and highly pigmented so it will last forever. I also use it as a cake liner. It is a little bit difficult to use because...

    Darkest black shadow on the market and perfect for a smokey eye! I always use this with the MAC #219 brush to blend my Khol with a colored e/s. A little goes a long way, so it's well worth the...

    I don't get the hype over this. Maybe I just got a bad batch. I found it to be really chalky and hard to blend. I demoted mine to eyebrow filler. >:/

    This is a great staple shadow that can be worn in various ways. I use the rich black matte shade as eyeliner and it stays put all day. A must have! A rave from me

    A good staple, but I sometimes find it hard blending it really well...almost like it's a little chalky. I'll probably re-purchase though (this one has lasted me since 2005) as it's the darkest...

    The best black shadow I've ever used! It's really fine and very highly pigmented. The blackest black. A little of this goes a long way. I've had my little carbon eyeshadow cake for over 3 years...

    If you're looking for a matte, black eyeshadow, then this one is perfect! I use it whenever I want a dramatic, nighttime look.

    I thought this would be good for dramatic evening makeup, but I found it difficult to work with and nearly impossible to blend smoothly, Black Tied is a much better choice.
