What are you looking for when you want a black eyeshadow? Something that will actually turn out to look dark, not light grey on your eye. There are about a zillion eyeshadows out there that look dark in packaging but barely show on they eye. I'm happy to say this is not one of them! It's great as a liner or shadow and creates a really dramatic look-- but is buildable. I think my pot of this will last me forever because you dip into it once and you've pretty much got what you need. I've done so many smokey eyes with this and it's always great and has nice staying power.
Only thing I can say against is that you need to watch for "fallout" on your cheekbone if you apply with a brush. i think the shadow can sometimes go airborne and easily land on your cheek. I have a magnifying side to my mirror and this stuff has totally left it's tracks. but it doesn't always happen, and if you're at least a little careful about how you put it on, you'll be fine. Once again, great stuff!
