So I swapped away my MAC Carbon when I got NYX Black, it is far superior. The texture is wonderful and creamy and the color payoff is very intense. It goes on very opaque but can be blended out...

I love NYX! Black is very pigmented. One stroke with a brush can be used for both eyes with out a base. Make sure you tap off the excess otherwise the little black pigments can go everywhere. I use...

I got this because I was too cheap to get MAC's Carbon. Anyways, it's super soft, very pigmented, and very blendable like everyone else here has mentioned. The problem is, the fallout on this...

I use this over my eyeliner. It's the best black I've found; it's not shimmery or gray, but a nice matte black. My only complain is the packaging. I've bought this product multiple times, and...

Not very black. More of a grey, and my skin is oily so it sort of melts after a while. Gross right?

I love this! NYX needs to make a palette for all their square ES singles. I would definitely buy that and fill it up with my NYX shadows.

This eyeshadow is ok. As far as drugstore brands go, this is probably one of the best out there. So I would definitely recommend this to someone on a budget. However, for myself, this shadow never...

HG for sure. Incredibly pigmented. A single tiny dab on the brush will suffice. It's pretty much perfect, that's all I can say! :D If there are any creasing and/or staying power issues, get...

The best matte black I have ever used. It's so dark a little bit goes a long way. What I like best, besides the price, is that it's actually matte. I can't see any sparkles whatsoever in it....

A true deep matte black.. goes well over liner and to smoke your eyes. The corner of mine cracked with little use, lying flat in my makeup drawer. The secret to this is to really pack the color...

Like all nyx shadows, it's creamy and smooth in texture, goes on well, and blends like a dream. Black is a pure black color which is completely matte. It's a must-have if you want to do a great...
