does mac make a black paint?

[franimal]

and when was it released or discontinued?

 

[MACATTAK]

Graphito is pretty black...don't know when it was released, but it is discontinued.

 

[MisStarrlight]

Yeah, Graphito is the closest, but Blacktrack f/l is just as good & much more of a true black.

When was graphito discontinued?? The MA gave me a sample the other day.. I better go get it!!

Maybe 6 months ago or so? I don't know. I have a horrible sense of time.

I agree, Blacktrack fluidline is a good for a true flat, black paint effect. Sharkskin shadestick is also good. It mimics Graphito a bit more closely in that it has slight shimmer to it.

You can also just use an Eye Kohl (Smolder), Technakohl (Graphblack) or Powerpoint (Engraved). Those would be better as a base though, as they may crease if you don't set them with shadow.

Check your local CCO for Graphito paint though, as they are still floating around.

graphito is more of a charcoal. i was actually asking because I swapped for a paint in black. though you can't see the actually name of the paint on the tube. the color of the paint is a flat, matte black. i've never heard of black paint before but I was just wondering if anyone knew when this came out. I really don't think its fake.

Existential paint

i use graphito with carbon on top and it gets as black as black can get.

Yes, MAC once made a Paint colour called Existential that was straight-up black. Discontinued quite a while ago, I believe...your tube might be kinda old

Check out:

That site has pictures of a bunch of paints you can't buy anymore.

it was discontinued online awhile ago, but we just RTVd it at the counter on sunday. hopefully your closest MAC was slow to RTV and you can still get it!

If you're looking for a true black, try NARS cream eyeshadow (I LOVE these!) in Zardoz. Thier cream e/s are wonderful and go on as sheerly or buildable as you want. Urban Decay also makes a very black eyeshadow in their DELUX e/s series...I believe it's called Zero

I tried a couple of their Delux eyeshadows on my last visit to Sephora and they are great!! They feel so creamy and blendable!!

ETA: If you can wait for MAC's Paint Pots to come out I believe they are going to have a charcol grey paint with some kind of pearl (I think silver pearl). I know it's not that true flat, matte black you're looking for, but it doesn't hurt to try it and see if you like it

If you don't like that particular product (or can't wait 'till they come out) you can always try the options above

If it helps, I swatched Zardoz awhile ago.

I have both Existential and Graphito and much prefer my Sharkskin s/s to both. Quick and easy to apply, no mess.
