    Like all MAC products, their eyeshadows are pricey. Black Tied blends very well and is easily built up. It appears to have more glitter than it actually does. I prefer it over Carbon and this is my...

    I've been using this for years and I love it. I use it regularly as as eyeliner and it always comes on neat and clean with a liner brush. The color is never dull, which I love. And since it's a...

    I have Carbon and this one too. I use this to liner my eyes when I use really frosty shadows or I want some sparkles in my eyes. You could also use this as a smokey eye but this is only if you...

    This is definitely a staple for me, it is such a perfect black and it is super blendable/buildable.

    This is a staple shade for me. It's definitely different enough from Carbon to justify owning both. Black Tied is more sheer and has silver shimmer. I would describe the shimmer in Black Tied as...

    This has been a HG eyeshadow for years. It goes on a very smokey grayish color and applied right, gives a very good smokey eye. It looks like there's a lot of sparkles but really goes on with a...

    I am lighter than NW15, neutral-toned, with green eyes and brown hair. The official color description is a midnight black with silver white sparkle. It is a velvet finish, and it's permanent. I...

    Black Tied is one of the best eyeshadows that I have used to achieve the smokey eye look. It does have shimmer and sparkles but it is hardly noticeable when applied to the eyes. One of my favourite...

    Generally I am not a fan of glittery makeup, however you can't even notice the sparkles after this shadow is applied. I use it to create a smokey eye and it is easy to blend as well as long...

    When I first got this I wasn't sure about it. I wanted a blacker color and this went grey on me. I since picked up Carbon, which is what I was looking for. I didn't use this for quite a while. ...

    The matte-ness of Carbon just doesn't work all that well on my N3 skin. Black Tied with it's shimmer/glitter is a much better choice. I don't use it as a shadow, though. In the crease for a...

    Black tied is great! You can use it to deepen your outer V or really do a smokey eye. It seems to be easier to work with than Carbon. I heard Jane makes a dupe of this but I've yet to try it.

    This color makes a great smoky eye. I often pair it with electra, and it really brings out the green in my hazel eyes. In addition, I've worn them together more subtly in a business setting, and it...
