Review : MAC Carbon EyeShadow Review & Swatches

2 Comments

Hi all !

Today i'd be reviewing MAC Carbon -- the most talked about MAC black eyeshadow.

MAC Says :-
Highly Pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well.

Price :- Rs.680/- (For Refill Pan, Quantity : 1.5gms)

The refill pan comes in a small envelope kind of packing. Inside you get the pan housed securely in another half envelope. 



The inside flap has all the ingredients listed.


Okay, first of all i was mad when i got it, because of so much hype about carbon on net and youtube. But i'm not extremely satisfied with it. Lets see why 
  • It's not smooth to use.
  • Blending it can be difficult for those who have no knowledge about blending. I somehow manage to blend it.
  • Its not completely Black. It does look very black in the pan, but lacks pigmentation.
Following are swatches :-



 Take a closer look..


But i have made it work for me, and it can work for you too.. :D

  • Its supposed to be black, and therefore working with any black e/s can cause fall out problems or you can end up overdoing. But with MAC Carbon, i know how much to start with and i can control the amount to be used.
  • If used properly with brush, you can blend it like a dream. But blending it with finger tip can make the whole thing look patchy
  • I use it as an eyeliner, without making any harsh lines. Its perfect to provide a soft smudged eyeliner style.

So overall, it might be a bad product for those who can't manage to make it work, but a brilliant product which provides :-
  • A controlled application.
  • Less fall out.
  • Perfect Matte e/s to get smokey eyes.
  • Great to use as a soft eyeliner.

How to use MAC Carbon ?? Do use an eyeshadow base, or your foundation/concealer to provide a base for  it so that it shows up & blends well. The most important thing is to use it with a brush.

Godbless ! ! :)
