    This is everything I wanted carbon to be. I had carbon for over a year but it looked too heavy and its actually a very dark blue-black so when you pair it with a white, it blends out to a baby...

    I use Black Tied to set my black eye liner pencil with. For this, it creates the most intense black line. It's also very lovely in the outer crease when I darken up a look. Unlike Carbon it...

    This shadow is a black with fine silver shimmer. I use this to line my eyes. The pigmentation and staying power is fantastic. I would re-purchase.

    Love this. Perfect as a liner with a 266 brush, over liquid liner or as the icing on the dramatic eye cake. I love the glitter specks, practically no fall out because it isn't chunky. Deeply...

    I own this eyeshadow as well as Carbon and I honestly don't see much of a difference between the two. In the pan the Black Tied obviously has some silver sparkle to it and Carbon is flat black but...

    This is one of my very first MAC eye shadows. It's an intense color...mainly because of the sparkle texture. Working with a bit at a time is best. It's stunning overall though and can turn just...

    This is my holy grail eyeshadow. Its perfect for setting liner on the water line and it brightens up my eyes due to the grey sparkle. People say there is fallout but its not that big of a deal for...

    This was a most irrational purchase for me. I never wear dark colors...let alone this dark. I can never pull off a smokey eye...until now! I bought this basically because it intrigued me. Black...

    This is quickly becoming once of my favorite black shades. Great for smokey eyes when dry or intense looks when applied wet. When used as an eyeliner the silver particles act as a brightener and...

    A great shade for a quick smokey eye. The sparkles are quite subtle and the colour is a soft black, almost dark grey. The texture is smooth and very easy to blend too.

    Hmm... So, I like my NYX black e/s bc it's a very pigmented black. This on the other hand isn't. It comes off more as a dark grey with shimmers. It's good for people that are barely starting out...
