I dont have blackground, but you could probably use as a base for a smoky eye, or under blues & greens like Parrot for example.
I have rubenesque & it's pretty versatile. I use it with all that glitters, expensive pink, & evening aura (LE). I also use it as a base when im using browns, golds, & neutral looks. Oh yeah, i love it with oranges. My favorite combo is rubenesque as a base, evening aura (or arena) on the lid, texture in the crease, time & space in the outer V, and then Orange eyeshadow in the crease. It's a nice daytime look during the spring & summer seasons.
hope that helped.
