    MAC describes Black Tied as "black with silver sparkle" This is a soft black, it's not intense/goth like. Mirroring what others have said, the glitter doesn't jump out at you and isn't noticeable....

    As with the other Velvet shadows, the shimmer doesn't come out as much as it looks like it would in the pan. It's hard to tell the difference between this and Carbon once it's blended out but this...

    Well pigmented black with silver sparkles. Sparkes are barley visible after application. Great for smokey eye application. Blends really well. Carbon is still more intense black. Not a necessary...

    Beautiful as an eyeliner and blended out! I'm too scared to try it all over the eye for a smokey eye but I'm sure it looks amazing like that too :)

    Me favorite eyeshadow for smokey eye! Really like to add coopering in the crease with it. Make my blue/grey eyes pop! It blends great but doesn't last that long on me. Maybe I should put a primer...

    I wasn't floored by this color at all. It has way too chunky glitter in it and I find it difficult to blend. The only way I use it is wet as a liner over smolder. Not special enough for me to...

    This is the eyeshadow that I cannot live without. I layer this over EVERYTHING. It lasts long and is easy to apply. I never use it by itself, so I can't say much whether it creases or not... but...

    I don't have Carbon to compare it too, but I know for sure that I really like Black Tied. It's very black IMO, it's my go to shadow for darkening my outer V. ****TIP**** If you want the sparkles...

    I love Black Tied! It's incredible to create a smokey eye or just to use as a liner. It's got beautiful, fine silvery glitter in it, which (miracle alert!) doesn't end up all over my cheeks. I...

    You can think this is gonna be black, because of the name, but is not black, it is dark ashy gray with glitter chunks that fall out. It doesn't work for smokey eyes, is too sheer. It doesn't work...

    Black tied is a very dark grey with glitter in it. I bought it to use as an eyeliner and it really isn't dark enough to use as a liner. It goes on grayer than it appears and is fairly...

    Black Tied is such a pretty colour to look at. I find it's more black than Carbon, it just has glitter in it which makes it so pretty! I find i never get a really glittery effect but i don't really...

    A true black-black! Doesn't oxidize to blue or grey the way other black shadows can and do on my eyes. I find that the silver sparkle is very subtle and doesn't look at all obvious (someone seeking...

    I love this shadow for a classic smokey eye. The product is very gritty though, which I don't like. and on top of that, the silver that makes it gritty is barely noticeable when the shadow is on my...
