True very pigmented matte black. A must for everyone's collection. Great as a liner or to darken the crease area. Intense colour, blends well, stays put (with a shadow base/primer) I did drop it...

Love this eyeshadow! It's matte, super pigmented and great as an eyeliner. To prevent it from fading/smearing I apply a base eyeshadow to my lids first, and then use an angel brush to line my eyes...

Absolutely black! I love NYX shadows. The staying power and intensity is always great. This black is better then the one in the Book of Shadows imo.

A very versatile standard matte very dark black color. It works great for liner, smokey eye, crease. I was ready to get MAC carbon, but saw this instead. After trying it out, I don't even need to...

I love most NYX products but the dark brown and the black are perfect matte colors. They are very pigmented and I use them to set my pencil eyeliner. I apply this over the pencil liner (or by...

The pigmentation is great, a very deep black. Problem is, I can't use it. It's so crumbly that unless I use mixing medium, I fear for fall out and the raccoon look. It fell less than 2 feet and...

This is a really good shadow for lining - I no longer use any pen eyeliner, this is smooth, it lasts long and it shows really well! I make it a task to always tap the brush when I put on shadows...

What more can I say? Dirt cheap and I like it better than MAC Carbon. VERY black. VERY good. I ordered from Cherry Culture, but you can also find NYX at Ulta.

I like this as a cheap alternative to Mac's Carbon. The only thing is that the fall out is Terrible. I make sure I use this with extra loose powder under my eyes when I use this dry. I mainly...

Like many others, I bought this E/S to replace my MAC Carbon. I live in Canada and they sell NYX at Pharma Plus. These shadows are dirt cheap compared to MAC ($$$) and have a great colour payoff....
