Blacker than black

[bohogirl]

So I have only just started into the MAC world...I think I will like it!

I have also just started using black shadow for a really dramatic smokey eye - but I'm not having much luck in getting to black with other brands.

I was thinking about getting MAC paint in Graphito and buying the black pigment - would the layering with these two give me a true black?

Thanks - any help will be hot.

I think Black Tied e/s would be a great choice too because it's a really intense color!

I would say black tied too. Very deep black.

I have tried black tied e/s yesterday and it's similiar to art deco's glitter black (must be num. 512 but I don't know for sure) ... the art deco color is the most intense black I have seen around so far....

I have MAC Carbon e/s, it's the darkest black I know, however, I don't find it that easy to blend, so I favor a less dark black (kinda dark gray) from a german cheapie brand called essence cos it's really a dream to blend, very soft, and stays on for a long time.

Otherwise check out Armani e/s #4, it's said to be better than Carbon

I would suggest trying Carbon or Black Tied shadows prior to going the pigment route as well. Matte pigments can be a bit difficult if you aren't used to them, and eyeshadows are far more portable and affordabel

I would also go for carbon. You can layer that over Graphito. I had an MA layer Carbon over Sharkskin shadestick.

you can do black tied e/s over a little bit of black track fluid line as a base.
