    I am NC30, asian skin and this works well in my crease if I apply lightly. I like that it gives me a natually smoky effect for everyday without ever looking too done up. People always tell me what...

    Embark, in my opinion, is the perfect alternative to Carbon for those of us that find black harsh and dark for their liking, a nice matte dark brown with red tones. I initally swapped for this when...

    I don't see the red undertones that other reviewers mentioned. On my DDD NC45-50 skin, this is deep smokey chocolate brown. I like this as an alternative to black eyeliner for a softer look, and...

    The color is kind of purple/red/dark brown. A very unsual color. The thing that I don't like about it is that it isn't for oily skin. It creases in a couple of hours and then it fades away in...

    Embark is a matte reddish-brown shade. I only use it as a liner, as the colour is very dark. Brings out the blue in my blue/green/grey eyes beautifully, but sadly, also emphazises my very dark...

    Not a wonder eyeshadow, just a matte dark brown with red undertones. It is my staple for my eyebrows (togheter with Antiqued), but nothing I couldn't change for something else. It is also good as a...

    I'd repurchase, if I ever happened to use it up(rarely do I use all of anything). This does triple duty for me. I can use it as a brow color, liner, and crease. It has just enough auburn in it...

    When I got this I wasn't sure I liked it. It looks very reddish brown in the pan. On my eyes though, its a dark smoky brown with no trace of red or plum that I could see. I haven't used it as a...

    Not in love... I sometimes use it as a crease color and liner but it's too boring for my collection. It's a dark, brandywine chocolate color that has too much red for my pale complexion. I...

    I really like this shadow. It's a dark brown matte shadow in the pot, looks very boring, I didn't think I would use it when I got it in the mail via swap. But it works really well in bringing out...

    A popular magazine said that every African American woman should own this color. Not sure I agree with that. I use it as a liner and in the crease when I wear Steel Blue pigment. I love it as a...

    Embark is a rich bittersweet chocolate colour as a liner ... which is really the only way i use it. The texture is kind of chalky which requires a lot of patience to blend into the crease or...

    A dark matte cool chocolate brown. Perfect for wet and dry lining since black is usually too harsh for me (blue eyed, cool toned PPP), and for emphasizing the outer V. Embark is what I frequently...

    I was looking for a dark brown to use as a liner when I bought this. I was kind of skeptical at first because it was sort of a plummy brown but it has turned out to be exactly what I wanted. When I...

    I got this in a palette, so I wouldn't ordinarily buy this type of color. It's a deep brownish-plum color. This would work great for a fall smokey eye look. It's just not a great color for me...

    Embark is a very dark, very pigmented matte coffee brown color. For smokey eyes, it would be ideal. Unfortunately, I'm not really into these sort of colors, but would recommend it to anyone who is.

    I bought this in 2003 when I asked a MAC MA for their darkest brown eyeshadow.She gave me this. It's a very matte dark-brown. I'm wearing it today with gold pigment. Would buy again
