Add me to the list of fans of this rich purple (which leans more blue than red, which is good for me). This used to be a "Pro" colour (I guess it still is but it's more readily available now). My collection of purple shadows is on the low side so Indian Ink was a welcome addition. I really like it on the outer lid and in the crease with light taupe, a lighter grey or lavender shade (Too Faced's Cut the Cake is a great one) on the inner part of the lid. For a more dramatic look, I will apply Indian Ink all over the lid and crease and then deepen the crease and outer corner with a darker shade (MAC Typographic or UD Blackout, applied sparingly). It's a really good, reliable shadow and when you consider that a lot of MAC's matte shades can be a pain to blend, I can say that Indian Ink (a matte) doesn't share that characteristic. I would happily repurchase.

Amazing color. A deep, rich, matte, exotic purple-blue. The pigmentation is good, I just subtracted one lippie due to its small lack of blendability. It takes a bit more work in order to look flawless, but the end result is rewarding. It looks so impressive all over the lid for a smoky eye, it's got just the right balance between blue and purple to make brown eyes stand out and look their best. It's also very interesting on the bottom lashline, or even on the outter V as part of an otherwise neutral look, if you don't wanna go all out but still need a hint of color. Haven't tried it on the crease yet, but I'm sure a color such as this one would definitely add a rock/vampy twist to any simple or boring look. It has become one of many favs. If you can get your hands on it (pro product), definitely go for it. Will repurchase.

I feel that this is a must have in anyone's collection-a very pigmented matte dark blue based purple. It is the perfect crease color to deepen any purple look as well as others. A little goes a long way and very easy to blend. It is a pro product that comes in a pan pre-magnatized.

Gorgeous purple, all the reviews so far are accurate. It looks misleading in the pan but put on the skin, nothing but WOW. It looks stunning as a liner or definer shade but it just is so creamy and dark and super blendable. I highly recommend this shade especially if you are a purple e/s lover.

One of my Alllllllllllllllllll time favorite purple's from Mac. Very pigmented dark purple and blends like a dream. I use it in my crease, and put Fig 1 on the lid, and looks awesome! I'm so glad I made the trip to the Mac Pro and got this shadow.

I've only had a chance to use this once, but that was enough for me to love it! Definitely great for a smokey purple eye (which is the look I was doing). Very pigmented, like most pro only colors. Only issue I had is that I felt like it took some work to get it blended in, but it could've been my fault in application. I wanted a really nice dark purple for my stash, and I got what I wanted!

Umm ... **DROOL** .. Being a huge sucker for purple shadows, I had to pick up Indian Ink when I saw it. Despite preferring shimmery shadows for the most part, I absolutely had to have this thing when I saw it. You'd think with a name like "indian ink" .. it would be blue, but it's actually a true matte purple with blue undertones. It applies like a dream, packs some serious pigment, and makes for the most gorgeous smokey purple eye. Definitely a MUST have if you're a lover of deep purple sexy goodness!!
