    Hmm...I'm undecided about this stuff. I didn't want to give it a bad rating because it's not a bad eyeshadow in formula, and I'm a bit of a klutz with makeup (so I usually wind up just going...

    This is a great shadow. Very versatile. I get tons of compliments when I do my smokey eye with it. I first take MAC Graphite paint and cover the lid (but dont put it in the crease, just the lid)...

    This is great for the smokey eye look. I use this at night for a softer line. I use Carbon if I want a more bold, defined line, and Black Tied for the smokier look. It has great staying power, and...

    Black Tied is a versatile black e/s. I pack it on the lid with a damp brush, avoiding the inner corner. I take Smolder Khol and line around my eyes and my inner rim. Smudge the liner a bit. Then...

    Hm, I don't know about this color. I was expecting more. When I put it on my eyes it looked so dull, I didn't really see the sparkles. I need to wear this a little more, so the rating might change....

    this is probably my most used e/s. I use it as a liner, or to make any look smokey, I love it as a crease color. I just love it.

    Love this shade from MAC. I use it after my black liquid liner to make the liner blend into my lid better. Also good when used as a wet eyeliner (with a thin liner brush) if you really want the...

    I avoided Black Tied for awhile because I couldn't see why I needed a black shadow. However, I'm glad I finally purchased it. While this is great for lining, it also makes for a great smoky eye. I...

    This is a great shadow because it really adds a dramatic effect to the eye... I think it makes all the difference between a nice smoky eye and a hot smoky eye! Smudging it along the lash line or...
