Must have for makeup users. This is such a smooth blendable matte black! I love using it to top off my khol eyeliner and it doesn't run and keeps my liner in place! Such a must have with multiple...

This is a really potent black eyeshadow! The color payoff is great, which means a really intense black but at the same time, its blendable. I loove this shadow...great for smokey eyes or just a...

This is a good, matte black (and I do mean black) eyeshadow. I tried using it as an eyeliner but there was too much fallout. I love the color because its a true black with no shimmer. My only gripe...

I love this matte black shadow. I've sampled MAC Carbon (not buy, too expensive), and I find there is very little difference. This shadow is a must have. I have this as a single as well as part...

My favorite NYX shadow, its my 2nd 1 already, I use it as an eyeshadow or a brow shadow, the deepest black ever, so pigmented. I think its way much better than MAC Carbon eyeshadow.

I like it. It probably is not as good as MAC Carbon but I don't feel the need to spend that kind of money on a Black eyeshadow. It works great and deepens my crease and outer corner just fine. ...

I love this. Much better than Carbon. It's jet jet black and can be used with a light hand for daytime smokey looks and can be used with a heavy hand for nighttime looks. Very nice consistency.

Wow, the quality of this is phenomenal. I figured it was about time for me to invest in a matte black eyeshadow, but I wasn't going to shell out a bunch of cash for MAC. Glad I didn't! This little...

I just swatched all my eyeshadows to see which ones are similar so I could possibly swap them out. I swatched NYX black with MAC carbon, and to my surprise NYX black was sooooo much more darker and...

love this black e/s! It's not quite as good as MAC's carbon, but it still gets the job done. Blends great & NYX shadows are very very affordable & has nice pigmentations

Not quite MAC Carbon, but a rich black for what you pay for it.

OMG. Found my HG black eyeshadow. I'm a fan of eyeshadows as upper lid liners. It works better for me for some reason. I decided to try this since I was out. Very happy I did. I will be...

Really great shadow~ Awesome color play-off. However it crumbles way too easily. Nevertheless, I will continue using it because its simply awesome~

This is great! If you want a black eyeshadow do not waste money on the higher end eyeshadows because this one is just as good or better for much less. Great color, great price and great color payoff.
