MAC matte[squared] shadows are AMAZINGLY pigmented and smooth! it's a shame they don't make more in this formula. Typographic is a deep black with excellent pigmentation and buttery smooth texture....

Very pigmented, but also very easy to blend. Its a dark grey/black colour but you can blend it to be a much lighter grey. I like it to line and define my eyes, probably more of an evening look and...

I love using Typographic as a liner, since it's softer than basic black but still looks dramatic. It is very pigmented, and the texture is soft and blendable. It works well in smokey looks, but...

this is a nice black eyeshadow. i find it easy to use, blends really well. sometimes if i want just a subtle smokey eye look i use just a little bit, that way it will only make it look bluish black...

This is an eyeshadow I cannot live without. It is perfect under other eyeshadows to bring out the tones better & make the colour richer. This is also great for smokey looks and is very buildable...

I feel bad for bringing Typographic's excellent review down, but I really am rather disappointed. I did a lot of research and decided to choose it over Carbon. I do have to say it's better than...

This eyeshadow is so smooth and glides on when used for lining the eyes, and blends with ease. The colour is not as dark as carbon, but it far easier to use. I use this for setting my liner and...

I bought this soley based on the amazing reviews it has got on here and I am SO glad I did. I usually do a smokey eye with Print, Carbon and Copperplate but found Carbon a little hard to work with....

A HUGE thank you to all the reviewers that suggested this shadow in reference to Carbon. I loved Carbon back in my 20's, but as I have aged I prefer my dark shades to not be black, usually deeper...

I don't know why so many people continue to choose Carbon when Typographic is so much more versatile and easier to use. It is very smooth and blendable, like all the Matte 2 shades, and while you...

I tend to reach for grey blacks more than true blacks when doing a smokey eye. In this case it is because Typographic seems to be easier to blend and the colour is not as harsh on fairer skin tones...

For all of you who said you prefer this to carbon: you are 100% right. I find carbon being much harder to blend than Typographic, so unless I am doing a very dramatic look, I skip carbon altogether...

Love Typographic. I use it almost daily as a soft eyeliner, since I dislike the way hard lines look on my eyes; I much prefer smokey/smudge-y looks. This is fantastic for smokey eyes. The color is...

I use Typographic every day for smudging my eyeliner or for a deep V-smudgy look, just to give my eyes some depth (I have like semi-monolids). It blends really well, and it's not too intense. I...

I have this just in case I need a black shadow, I don't use it often but I really like it because its not true black. I like it with my silver smokey eye look.
