    If you need a good shadow for a smokey eye or liner, this is the one. It's matte, so it blends really good. It also looks great as a liner. I use it damp to line when I want a more a club look....

    This is a very basic black matte eye shadow. Great to use wet as a liner. I probably wouldn't buy it again just cos it takes me forever to finish one. The one I have has been with me for at least 2...

    You totally need this. Very rich black, very beautiful matte e/s. Gorgeous to line or to smoke up another color. Stays on, but if used as shadow (not liner) it can crease as usual. Use MAC paints...

    MAC Carbon is a flat matte black eyeshadow. It looks lovely when used as a liner, wet or dry, and it has good staying power. Lining is easy using the #266 brush. Carbon can also be used to...

    Carbon is by far my favorite shadow to use as a liner. Then again, I love the dramatic effect of pure matte black. With a damp brush (and by tapping the brush before applying) I am able to get most...

    Nice as a liner, much better than Jane's Clubbing as it doesn't smear or drop all over the cheeks. Only problem I have with this is that I'm very pale (MAC NW15) and this shadow as a liner is so...

    just like everyone else said...wonderful to line with and makes a great smokey eye... the only bad thing is that its a little hard to blend, but of course its a matte and that can be expected.

    This is a very versatile, true black eyeshadow that doesn't fade into gray or blue - it goes on black and STAYS black. Good for creating a smoky eye; even better as an eyeliner when applied with a...

    Great pure black e/s that doesn't migrate or smudge on my asian eyelids at all. Perfect for that smoky eyed look. Will repurchase again after I've gone through the pot (which won't be happening for...

    Got a large pan of this awhile back, and it's still going strong. This is best, imo, with the #266 brush, or another compact, liner brush, b/c the black shadow can fall everywhere if used with a...

    I use it as an eyeliner. Lots of black pigment and very good price. Great shadow/liner to have.

    This is a really nice, smooth, highly pigmented true matte black eye shadow. I agree that it should be in everyone's make-up collection (along with clear lip gloss). It can be blended with most eye...

    Works wonderfully as a liner, a little intense for any other use.

    Matte black. Much like Black Tied and Beauty Marked, and really any black shadow, when used with a brush it has a tendancy to drop onto your cheeks during application. A simple remedy to this is...
