"True" black eye shadow ?

[Gypsy_Doll]

I was searching for a really dark perhaps jet black eyeshadow and I've yet to find one. All the ones I searched for seem to be an off black tint not really black. And I want the blackest of the black. Something like a midnight black....

Any suggestions? Thank you por favor.

MAC Pro Pigment in Black Black. You don't have to be a pro to buy it, you just can't order online.

I would either recommend Mac´s Carbon eyshadow or Makeupforever´s black eyeshadow.

Both are really black and without any shimmer.
They are perfect for the true smokey eye.

If you want a sexier look, top them with either a bit of shimmer or with some eye gloss tapped on the lid (my favourite look!!! ).

I was going to suggest MAC's Carbon too

Me too! Carbon is great.

 

[Gypsy_Doll]

Thanks all. I'm open for any more suggestions.

i use Loreal Rich in "lush raven". It's a really nice matte black shadow and blends nicely if you mix it with other colors. I want to try the MAc though! good black is hard to find...

I know Manic Panic has a great black shadow... in Raven.

Personally, I own a slightly shimmery black by Cover Girl - that has been great for me.

I really like Urban Decay Zero... Smooth, well pigmented. Not shimmery but not really matte either... It's sort of a satin-y black.

shu uemura's matte black is great as well..

 

[Gypsy_Doll]

Thanks again! Going with the Carbon

 

[__neversummer]

Good choice

Don't use loreal voluminous carbon black I hate that stuff, the MAC is much much better.

 

[ambidextrous]

MAC Carbon again Maybe Armani e/s #4, I read on makeupalley that it's better than Carbon

Ben Nye eye shadow is mega-black. I don't wear MAC because I have dark skin and the colors aren't vivid enough. If Ben Nye looks black-hole-black on me, it's definitely what you're looking for.

I have MAC Carbon, but also recommend MAC's Dark Soul pigment.

Kryolan allll the way! They are theatre makeup so this is serious, lol. They have this Aquacolor in jet black and it looks awesome. Plus Kryolan's Aquacolors often get used in runway/fashion mags so its good stuff. I have a gold Aquacolor and its fun.

I use Rimmel SpecialEyes in Jet Black
