    Great smooth matte black shadow. It's great because its highly pigmented and blendable. I like using it as a liquid liner by wetting my brush, loading it up with the e/s and then doing the cat eye...

    Black! That's all is this, which makes it perfect for that smoky eyed seductress look. No shimmer, all matte, and you better know how to work your brush with this. Definitely not the best quality...

    A true black, with a wonderful texture. I use this along my lashline with a smudge brush almost daily for a soft look. I also use it to fill in my brows. Overall a great basic black that I resisted...

    THE best black eyeshadow I've ever used. Super-pigmented, goes on rich, matte black and not gray or sheer at all. Creates a great dramatic smoky eye when blended/smudged out. Stays put on my oily...

    Not an exciting product, but gets five lippies nonetheless because it definitely does the job as a basic black matte eyeshadow. I'm too wimpy to use this in any way except as a liner but this is...

    This is a good base eyeshadow if you want to enhance other colors such as purple, green, etc. I don't really like it on me when I wear it alone because it's a little to over the top, but it is a...

    Carbon is a classic black and matte e/s. The kind of e/s everybody should own since it can be used as eyeliner or for smokey eyes. I really think everybody should own this kind of e/s since it is...

    Hands-down the best deep, dark, matte black eyeshadow around. I use this with MAC's #266 brush to line, and it looks amazing. I've read other reviews that complained about fading, but I haven't...

    Carbon is just a simple matte black eyeshadow. I use it as a liner when I want a really dark black line that stays put all day and night on the top lid.

    Great basic black shadow! I use it on my dark skin as eyeliner by appplying it with a thin eyeliner brush or as shadow on my top lid for a smoky effect. It is smooth and has great staying power. It...

    This is a classic black matte eyeshadow. Good to top on liner, or use liner alone. Good to make eyeshadow a little darker or smokey eye if applied very lightly. I said I would repurchase, but I...
