    This is my favorite black eyeshadow ever! It's so dark and highly pigmented. It adds a little pizazz to any look. I love it.

    There are only three eyeshadows I use so much that I have already repurchased them multiple times - Nylon, Vex, and Carbon. I seriously could not live, makeup-wise, without this eyeshadow. For me,...

    This, like all MAC mattes, is chalky and a pain to blend. I usually get compliments on my blending, and even I have a hard time making this e/s work. Is it really that hard to make a matte e/s...

    I use it as an eyeliner and to darken other shadows, over dark kohls or even as a slight shadow on the base of my lashes. It smudges ( with the right brushes) to a soft finish and is great for...

    When I don't feel like putting on my liquid eyeliner, I use this. I wet my angled brush and put a think layer on my eyelid, close to my eyelashes. It stays really well and the color is really...

    I can't blend matte eyeshadows. I think it is more MY problem than a problem with the product. If you are not good at blending, then this is probably not a color you want to try. I prefer shimmery...

    My everyday black eye shadow. It does the trick. Goes on perfectly wet or dry, good lasting power, good black.

    A true black eyeshadow is hard to find, this one is also great as an emergency eye liner.

    I used to like this shadow, but the more I use it, the more I hate it. It's chalky and very, very difficult to blend. There's not much color payoff either. A nice black shadow is a staple in any...

    This is definitely a staple. It's great on its own (for a soft black wash of color or buildable to an intense deep color). I have this as part of the Gentle Fume quad but I would definitely...

    Deffinately one of my favorite eye shadows! This is so versatile. During the day, I apply it over my eyeliner for a smudged look. At night I can make a full-on smokey black-out eye. A drop of...

    I consider this to be a staple eyeshadow, because it is incredibly versatile and works with everything. I love to use it as liner, or as an outer lid/crease color for dramatic looks. Of course it...

    Carbon is a really nice simple black, but it's not the darkest black ever. I think i've ruined mine because i mixed it with water like crazy one time, but this is a great soft black that blends...

    Soft matte black. If you have enough makeup "experience" and can get this to go on just right (it is a very deep shade) you can make soooo many looks with this!!

    It's an OK shadow, nice for blending with other eye makeups. The staying power on its own isn't great, lasts for a few hours before fading and spreading. If you want a nice solid black eyelid, I...
