Bought this after the ma said it was one of their best kept secrets. It can be used wet as a liner, or over or under other shades to deepen them or increase their intensity. It is perfect for a smokey eye and looks just right for a liner. Very versatile even though it doesn't look like it in the pan. Don't be scared by the description by mac.com because it says it has a red sheen..it's not noticeable. Very glad I gave this a try because I reach for it and use it as a liner all the time.

This is my favourite e/s!! It's a grey-black colour with reddish sheen (however, I must admit that I can barely see the sheen). It's an everyday colour for me. I am asian and use this in the crease to add depth to my eyes. I love the definition it gives my eyes without looking too harsh. On a typical day, I pair this with Stilife paint, which makes it look almost like and olive-green/black shade. This colour works well with Vex eyeshadow and using a pink shadow (Canton Candy paint) makes the red sheen more apparant. LOVE this shadow!!

Wow. This is a nice color that was not as pigmented as I thought it would be like MAC espresso. This is nice dark es that you can build up color.

I was looking for the perfect smokey eyeshadow for my complexion. Not to dark and not to light. I went onto mac.com and asked the artist and she suggested this color. It is a black shadow with a reddish browning shimmer to it. I love it. I also use this as a liner. I was also told this is only avail in MAC stores or online at maccosmetics.com. I am not sure how true this it. The ma at Bloomingdales in NYC told me this when I was trying to buy one for my sis. Anyway great color. Will repurchase!

Smut is a dark dark brown with a slight red pearl shimmer. For all purposes, it’s a basically a “black” to me and I use it purely at the outer corners of my eyes. I use it primarily in my neutral eye looks in which I’m trying to avoid looking too harsh with black. I’m sure it’d be great as liner shade as well. Smooth formula, superb pigmentation, and awesome lasting power. However despite all of that, I don’t reach for this shade all that often as the red pearlness of it really doesn’t show up. It just looks like a flat but slightly shimmery dark brown on my eyelids. I’m anticipating that Smut will just be one of those shades I gradually fall in love with, but for now I’m kind of regretting that I purchased it.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. The name smut would lead one to think that this color is not worth buying. It's a beautiful muted gray. It's not very harsh....so you can use it as an outter V color or crease color w/o it looking to dramatic. If Carbon or Black Tie is too harsh for the office....Smut is a good "go to" for everyday wear. It looks good with lighter grays or silvers. I will definetly re-purchase once I hit pan.

This colour is a medium/dark brown and sometimes it can look a bit grey or purpleish. I love it as a crease colour and I'm planing on using it as a liner as well. Very versatile.

i ♥ smut! no really, i do. j/k. i really like this eyeshadow, i see a shimmery xxxdark gray shadow infused with hints of brown and violet. i think it's a very unique color, i like to smudge it on the outer corners of my eyelid and blend it inwards. it's also nice as a liner, when wet.

I love Smut. It kind of reminds me of mascaras called "Soft Black" or "Brown Black" because it's a nice alternative when black liner seems too harsh. I use Smut as a liner, smudging it into my lash line with a push brush. This is a great color for those who want subtle definition, and it goes with almost anything.

Smut is matte dark brown e/s. Love, love this as a liner. It can be used wet / dry, depending how intense you want it to be. I normally use it dry, smudged into my lash line for a natural daytime look.

I truly love smut! It's one of my very few staples and I will repurchase forever and ever.

This color is very unique in my opinion. It's a muddy dark brown with a hint of sparkle. It looks great as a liner, actually, I prefer this one over all the other e/s and liners I have. But it also is such a gorgeous contouring shade! Applied lightly it also makes a nice crease color.

I love this with vex or shroom. Easy, yet sophisticated. Makes my blue eyes stand out.

Smut is a colour that i probably never would have looked at, let alone purchased, if i hadn't gotten it as part of the 2002 holiday palette. in the pan, it looks sort of boring- however, i am really glad i tried it because it's a very versatile, unique neutral. on me, this is a very cool toned, greyed brown with extremely subtle red tones. i like pairing this in the outer v with Satin Taupe for a darker, more intense look. it is also nice with in the crease with light neutrals (Phloof, Naked Lunch, Vex, etc) on the lid. and it makes a great liner- a nice alternative to black. i have made quite a dent in the palette pan and i will definitely repurchase once i use it up!

Great black liner with a hint of sparkle. I use this when I don't want a deeply defined black like MAC's carbon. I have it in the Eye Six/1 palette from last fall. I wouldn't buy again because I have enough black eye liner to last me a lifetime!

I love this with MAC Bronze eye shadow and Urban Decay Sin for a contoured smokey bronze eye look. Fantastic! It's just a great crease colour (and outer edge and lower lash colour) for wearing with lighter browns for more drama, but it'd probably look great with purples and greens too. Nice alternative to using black in the crease for smokey eyes.

For me, Smut is a very dark brown/purple color. This came in my 2002 palette and it took me several months to even touch it. Applied wet, Smut makes the perfect liner. By using a light hand I have managed to use this shadow with other colors. But I'm still not sure if I would by it again.

I love Smut! I use this as a liner with my dampened #266 brush and this comes up a rich dark plum, the perfect alternative to black.

I hate shadows I have to use wet or layer 20 times to get color or a full coverage color(this went on blotchy dry). This was a mess from start to finish. Ugh! why do I never learn?

Smut is the perfect darkish eye shadow for me. I have trouble wearing a lot of the darker colored eye shadows, but this one really works. It is cool-toned; similar in color to the dig it eye kohl. It works with so many different e/s colors to add a little depth near the lash line.
