This is the favorite item of all my makeup items for eyes. I learned over a decade (or has it been two) how to use this shadow, Charcoal, as an eyeliner and its PERFECT!! If I don't have time to...

My powder liner (that I use wet) for the last several years. It lasts all day, no problemo. There is nothing that I don't like about it. It is not the blackest of black, in my opinion but it will...

A perfect black-black-black eyeshadow (much more intense than MAC carbon) that I use to line my upper eyelid for a softer yet defined look. It stays on the whole day. And it's huge! I would buy it...

This is matte black not grey. I usually use BB Espresso wet as liner, but sometimes I want black not dark brown so this one fits the bill. Used wet, it doesn't budge. This isn't the blackest...

This is my fav dark eyeshadow. Superb quality, very easy to blend and makes a perfect smokey eye. And a lot of product in the pan, it will last me a long time. Matte and very pigmented. I love it!

Charcoal to me is essentially a black eyeshadow, not grey (especially when compared to Smoke, which I would describe as a faded black). It may not be the deepest black you can find, but I still...

Charcoal is a deep dark gray color -- not quite black. It is truly a beautiful product. Great for creasing and for lining. Blends beautifully.

This is a great dary grey mostly matte black shadow. Liquid and gel eyeliners just don't work for me, I find them difficult to apply and they seem to flake off and wear unevenly on my oily skin...

Doesn't look right on me at all. And it smudges really easily since it's not waterproof. I don't like it, and wouldn't buy it again.

The best almost black charcoal shadow for lining. Not overbearing at all unless you want it to be. A truly great color! Good amount for the price too. Lasts forever. Why did I wait this long to get...

I love this matte black powder. I've used it for years as an eyeliner. The pan lasts forever. However, if you use a wet eyeliner brush with it, you eventually get that shiny coat on top of the...

Intense black (very dark charcoal??) matte shadow. Great quality, soft, intensely pigmented. I use it for lining, most days. Looks softer than pencil, and softer on the skin.

These shadows retail for $19 and comes in a large round black pot with clear lid. Each shadow is double the size of a MAC one, .09 oz. Charcoal is matte black. Great for lining.

GREAT eyeshadow to be used as a liner. Can be made as dramatic or as natural as you want. Just use wet for dramatic and dry for natural. I often do a light wet line first then cover with dry shadow...

I only used this as part of the Drama palette. I know it's supposed to be used as a liner, but powder liners don't work well on me. As a shadow and/or crease color, it's pretty, but I can't seem to...

Holy pigment! This shade is much too deep to serve as anything other than an eyeliner (I'm a BB Warm Ivory). It is a deep, dark grey that is a bit less dramatic than BB's gel liners. Like all BB...

This is a great powder liner with intense pigment and a not quite black color that brings out eye color nicely. Goes on and stays on well. Totally nonirritating.
