    Carbon is a must especially for smokey eye lovers. Its a TRUE black. Not charcol, not grey, its a true true black. It last forever because a little goes a long way.

    I love carbon. It was my first mac eyeshadow. I have thought: " man, I should've gotten nyx black", but really, I'm glad I got carbon because it is easily buildable. With nyx black, I feel like I...

    A must have if you like to do a smokey eye! Very black so apply with a light hand. Perfect for blending in to lash line or even using as a eye liner. I always have this in my makeup bag!

    Good matte black but needs effort to work it in. I saw NYX black at the store the other day and I gotta say I think it is much better and cheaper, but hey, if you have this one, use it up, no need...

    I use this everyday as an eyeliner and at times on the crease to make any look smokey. A staple in my makeup bag. Best eyeliner/shadow<3

    This is a beautiful matte BLACKEST BLACK eyeshadow :) The only reason it lost a lippie is bc it is a bit hard to blend, but break out that 217 and you will be in great shape :)

    The most perfect matte black e/s. I use it rarely for dramatic eyes in the crease, so this should last me a good while.

    I really like carbon. It's very matte. I find it very easy to use. I like to pair it with urban decay's polyester bride. Deffently a must for me.

    I thought this was a very important color to have from MAC. I was wrong. This is a terrible eyeshadow to try to blend. I would purchase a different black from MAC, one that isn't so matte. Fifth...

    Yes yes, there have been complaints that MAC's Carbon is not as deep/dark/pigmented as some other blacks out there. But that's the good thing about it - it's build-able. I own two basic matte...

    so not impressed. the nyx single black is far darker and deeper. even the sephora brand black is darker. i normally love mac shadows, this one just doesn't impress me at all.

    Great matte black color. It lasts all day, it's pigmented enough to get a nice dark color, but if you use a light hand, this looks really good across entire lid. Unlike my other MAC eyeshadows,...

    I don't get the negative reviews for this eye shadow. It's a great black. It's not meant for costume-y makeup looks, it's for every day. It's dull because it's matte, it's meant to be...
