    I use this eyeshadow in some form almost daily. I use it to line my eyes lightly for work, heavier for a sexy bedroom eye look, and if I am going for all out glam for a night out I use it to add...

    A nice matte black. It's not as black-black as I was hoping for it to be, but it's a very serviceable black. Applies easily, lasts long enough. Kind of pricy for eyeshadow, but it's MAC. I'm still...

    Carbon is one of my favorite eyeshadows to use when I want to either set my gel eyeliners or even to smudge with it after I apply my gel eyeliner. I also love to use this in the outer 1/3 of my...

    This works perfectly for what I wanted it for: setting "Blacktrack."<br> I put a thin line of "Blactrack" Fluidline on each upper lid, then topped the line with "Carbon." The eyeshadow softened...

    Essential matte black shadow - the truest, blackest black I've found to date. Nice texture and lastability too.

    I like this - it works for me. It's not a true black, I can defintely see green in there. It has a slightly chalkier texture that works well on my oily lids - seems to make them less oily. Lasts...

    Crap! Chalky& hard to blend.Not one of MAC's better products..If you want a great TRUE black shadow try NYX or UD Zero.Both of these blow Carbon away

    Revlon used to make a matte black e/s, and I used that forever. I got it for $1, it was spectacular. It's the only e/s I've ever used up, and this was the replacement I got for it. I figured for...

    so good. i've only ever used it as a liner with a small angled brush, but it works incredibly well and stays on forever, especially if you dip it in light hairspray before applying.

    Love this. I use it daily, on my brows, and very frequently as a liner. It's not a lid color (for that I would use Black Tied, which is a sparkly black, rather than this matte black color that's...

    I have found a way to prevent the flakes from falling onto my cheeks: use a damp eyeliner brush, dip it in and shake off excess. That being said, this is now my daytime eyeliner, since it's more...
