About this shade

If you're after a deep black, MAC Eye Shadow Carbon is one of the best-known options. An intense matte black for night smoky eyes and deepening the outer corner.

In the try-on we use its colour code (#1F1D1F) and apply it to your photo while keeping your skin's light and texture, so you can see how it really looks on you before buying. The real shade can vary slightly by batch and screen.

Who is it for?

Because of its colour, it especially suits the Winter colour season. Being neutral, it's one of the easiest to wear: it usually works on both warm and cool undertones.

Ideal for Winter

Matte finish

A matte finish doesn't reflect light: the colour looks flat, even and intense, and it usually lasts longer than a creamy finish. The trade-off is that it can cling to dry patches, so prep the area with a light balm or primer a few minutes before.

Over an eye primer, the shadow lasts the day without creasing.

Looks with this product

You can see it applied in the natural look, office look, night look, event look, glow look looks. In each one we complete the rest of the makeup with products that harmonise with this shade and are available in your country, and you can swap any of them.
