    I really like this black. I like how it is matte and not sparkly, which makes it perfect for blending and layering. I always use this as a base and put brighter colours on top to create whole new...

    I was really disappointed in this eyeshadow. So many people name it as their HG black, but for me, it was just too sheer. It looks so pigmented in the pot, but it takes ages for me to build it up....

    This is one of those "everyday" eyeshadows. I know some of you may be thinking "black?!" as everyday but it actually doesn't go on as dark as it looks. I find myself having to layer this when I'm...

    I dont like it, which surprised the hell out of me since everyone seems to love it and I'm sure this is some sort of a taboo not to love this shadow but I actually prefer Black Tied on me.

    This is my HG eyeshadow from MAC. When I get ready in the morning I have a bin of eyeshadows, and then I have a plate of "I use this every day" stuff. Carbon is on the plate. It is great for...

    This is THE matte black eyeshadow to own. Great for setting black eyeliner like Smolder, and great for smudging. Perfect for the crease and under the bottom lashes for a smokey eye.

    Carbon is an essential e/s for smoking out other shades and for adding an extra layer of protection on top of e/l. I like to use my 224 to softly dip and then apply to darken any shade in...

    This is a great matte black. It can tend to be a bit sheer, but thankfully I don't use black a whole lot. I like to use this to "set" my gel liners or liquid liners. It tends to give them even more...

    This is an amazing black shadow. I use it only for lining my eyes b/c it gives an awesome black line. I have not found a liner that was black enough. I line my eye with this mixed with visine as a...

    This eyeshadow is very overrated. NYX black is so much better! Save your money.

    I think this eyeshadow is really overrated. i bought it due to all the hype, but trust me, this is not the "best matte black" out there. It's not bad, it does has decent pigmentation but it could...

    Best blackest black eye shadow I've ever used. If you want something incredibly black and matte, this is the eye shadow for you. If you want to make it more glittery, I think MAC has another eye...

    Ok this is pretty much a basic black. But highly overrated. It is not even that black in color. The coastal scents black eyeshadow is way more pigmented. And carbon is harder to bland out. you can...
