This is my HG black e/s. It's absolutely perfect. It's super pigmented, super blendable and just awesome. I'm going to have to buy another one soon because I'm running out. I use this most every...

I just recently bought this a few weeks ago when ULTA had 40% off NYX products, so I picked this up just for the heck of it. I have to say, I'm extremely impressed. It's much more pigmented than...

This is the matte black eyeshadow that belongs in every girl's makeup bag. It's really smooth and easy to blend. The color payoff is great. There's no reason to pay 15 dollars for MAC Carbon...

This is the perfect matte black eye shadow. As much as I love my MAC Carbon, I admit it that, as pigmented as it is, it's blendability is sometimes difficult and the texture not the smoothest. This...

I like this shadow more than I like my Carbon one. It's super pigmented, smokes out any look, can double as a liner, it's just perfection.

Pros: pigmented, matte, smooth, long-lasting Cons: hard to find sometimes (most beauty supply stores don't carry a lot of NYX products) I haven't purchased a NYX eye shadow in so long, but I...

I used to be a MAC eye shadow fan until I accidentally discovered NYX from another reviewer. This black is the darkest black I've ever seen and much darker than MAC's carbon. I used to wear gel...

I love this eyeshadow, however, it doesn't show up as black when you try to line your eyes, which is pretty sad because I thought it could be a quicker alternative for school, etc. I love using...

This is a good, basic black. It's matte and not shimmery at all. It's so easy to pick up this stuff! A little dip with your brush is all you need. And it's cheap. You can't go wrong with this...

THE best black e/s EVER. Pigmentation is ridiculous. I use this as either a brow powder (which I have to tap the excess off like crazy), e/l or e/s. Completely matte. Fabulous product.
