Faces Eye Shine Single Eyeshadow 04 Black

” It is medium pigmented and you cannot use this eyeshadow without a base, it just wouldn’t show up. A base and for that matter any base would make this color show up beautifully. I have used this with a white eyeshadow base and a shimmery base and therefore I can say this color is quite versatile. With a white base, it looked grayish and a soft day wear color and with the shimmery base, this looked darker and more pretty and a little shiny, so quite a night wear color.”

MAC Eyeshadow Black Tied

The shadow comes in a matte black base, now here is the twist, the matte black base on its own can be so hard to work with and the pretty silver sparkle in it which is not so chunky but not very fine as well, is what makes it perfect! I love the silver in it and it does not show up as much as it is sparkling the pics.It looks pretty and just there!

Colorbar Eyeshadow Black Tie

the texture of this eye shadow is also smooth, not buttery smooth, but still soft. It glides on easily on the lids and blends very easily with other eye shadows as well. There was no uneven patching during blending. There is almost no fallout while applying or after that, and the shimmer doesn’t spread all over the face.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow in Eternal Black

The shadow comes out sheer on the lid than in the pot. The shadow needs a base I feel because it has a lot of shimmer and if you don’t want it all over the place, then better to stick it on to a base. Try not to blend it and rather use it in a patting motion. The shadow looks great all over lid instead of in the crease obviously. So, what I do is put it on the lid and then blend a grey or a silver in the crease to soften it and also use some black on the lower lash line and done!

Max Factor Earth Spirits Eyeshadow – Onyx

The color is a very pretty gray black, initially I thought this is a black but I was wrong, it is a satin grey with black undertones to it but trust me it shows up as a deeper gray.

MUA (Makeup Academy) Matt Eyeshadow

” It is very very pigmented and smoother than the brown one . I use for outer v, under lash line for smoky effect, for lining lashes sometimes and best of all to seal in kohl with this! Awesome stuff and versatile too. You can fill your lid with this till crease and just use kohl on waterline for a smoky effect. Totally love it .”

LA Colors Mega Pearl Eyeshadow: Black Licorice

The shadow is a pearl shadow with a very pretty, finely milled, silvery touch to it. So, this means its not a harsh matte black, but a softer, pearly black which is easier to use. Again, the texture is so smooth and pigmented that you need such a tiny amount of this. There is no fallout whatsoever, can you expect a black pigmented eyeshadow to have no fall out? Well, I don’t.

MaxFactor Max Effect Mono Eyeshadow 10 Magic Nights

Magic nights is a gorgeous black color with beautiful midnight blue shimmer which is not at all chunky or glittery, in fact, once applied on lids, it gives that star-like shining lids effect which looks great for evenings. The texture of this eyeshadow is super smooth and silky and it blends very easily. The pigmentation is to-die for and even without a primer.

I proudly own many of them 😛 but highly suggest you get a shimmer black and a matte black as your essential eyeshadow.
