    This is a fine matte black, an indispensable to every makeup bag. I use it to darken shadow in the crease or to line. Wouldn't use it all over lid, for that I use black that aren't as matte or...

    Not the blackest black I've ever seen, but works just fine none the less. A little dab will do ya. I don't use super dark colors unless it's evening & I only use a little in the very outer part...

    I bought this to use as eyeliner. The color is very intense making a very nice, defined line, but I always get racoon eyes sometimes during the day. I found it a little difficult to remove.

    I was expecting Carbon to be the blackest black eyeshadow ever after hearing about it for so many years. While it certainly is a nice matte black shadow, it's not outstanding and its cult status...

    This is a staple for everyone's collection. I use it a lot in my outer V for night time looks and also for a smokey eye.

    NYX in Black is even darker. It's a completely matte black shade. Incredibly black! This is more of a charcoal black. Good, but not the extreme black I need in my case. Not all MAC shadow's are...

    This is probably the best matte and long-lasting eyeshadow out there, if you're into smokey eyes or a dramatic look! I use it basically every day and one little pot of it lasts me for a couple of...

    Pretty black matte eyeshadow. I prefer NYX Black though since it is cheaper, more black, and easier to manipulate. My main complaint about this is that is doesn't seem to blend as easily as NYX.

    Very versatile, can be used to darken any kind of eye look, set black eyeliner, or smoke it out to soften a look. Can be a pain if the proper brushes arn't used.
