    I just recently purchased this shade and am very pleased with it. I have about 15 other mac shadows and really like the brand. I wanted to add some more dramatic e/s to my collection, specifically...

    It's really black! If you are a fan of smokey eyes, then this is definitely your shadow. Not recommended for day use though, as it is very intense. The only problem I have with this shadow is that...

    I never thought this would be another one of my HG e/s because I'm a neutral type of gal. I have worn Naked Lunch with a soft brown e/s for about 4-5 years and it wasn't until I got heavily into...

    This is a pretty black color with a minimal amount of sparkle. I usually apply it in the outer v of my eyes..just gives each color some depth and drama. I can see wearing it in the crease for a...

    Haven't mastered this as an eye shadow yet (b/c the pigment is so dark) but I LOVE using this as a liner w/ an angled brush. It stays on a long time and just has a bit of sparkle. So pretty!!

    I love black eyeshadows, and this is the best one! Better than carbon. Just precious.

    Way too much glitter. I would never use this on myself or a client unless it was for a very intricate print ad or something.

    I love black tied. I love everything about it. It works great for a smoky eye, or (when applied wet) for a nice black eyeliner <3 It's got just enough glitz to be pretty, but not over the top <3

    I love the black and the subtle sexy shimmer. Amazing for a sexy, evening smokey eye. Very pigmented and the shimmer isn't disco-y or OTT. This shadow is the definition of sexy.

    I have used this as a liner but there is way too much sparkle for my liking. I probably won't hang onto it.

    I didn't buy this eyeshadow because I chose Beauty marked over it, but I think I'll buy it as it looks better doing the smokey eye look than the carbon (too much packing on) and the beauty marked...

    I absolutely love Black Tied in the pot. There is no denying that it is gorgeous. On my eyes, I like it but I don't love it. I am willing to work with it though, and see if I can get the effect...

    Black Tied is not a bad color, but it tends to be a bit on the sheer side for a black, but it's a nice black regardless. It does take a bit to make the color show up, and it does require to pack...

    I wear this as liner. I don't use pencil liner on top of my eyes. It's my HG of black shadow. I love this shadow, I can't say enough good things about it. I will buy it over and over and over.

    I love that this black contains glitter, but it doesn't make me look like I'm about to go to a disco. It the perfect amount of sparkle! Such a great black for night.
