Urban Decays Deluxe shadow in zero is a lot like what you'd expect from a MAC velux pearl in black.

Back on topic; I choose carbon because I just didn't want a bunch of shimmer in my black. I already have UDs zero and oil slick and I don't even use those anymore now that I have carbon.

carbon is a lot more versatile! and better colour pay off! you can use various pigments on top of shadow if you want to add sparkle!

Honestly, I had and disliked both. Urban Decay's zero is much better in my opinion. It's softer & easier to blend with other colors.

I love black tied (I don't have carbon actually, but tried it) - but I prefer glittery shades anyway... so I think black tied is a nice "highlighter" if you can call it a highlighter *lol*
I add it to most of my eye makeups...

I have both and I love both - but if I have to choose I would prefer Carbon

For some strange reason I have the feeling carbon is "darker".... erm, yes...

I like them both.
I use black tied as a liner & I use carbon for a smokey look & for the outer v. I think carbon is a must have.

Neither. UD Zero is easier to blend, don´t flake as much. You should try this one.

I agree. I like Black Tied but I never see the glitter...

Urban Decay's Oil Slick is also a good one...

Both of these shadows are amazing in different ways. I find "black tied" to be more shimmer, as opposed to matte like "carbon". It comes down to the look and the collaboration of colors and shades with the eyeshadows.

I have both and prefer Black Tied... I use it for everything and for eye liner every day. I don't use my carbon very much at all. It's a little too flat.

cassitassi · 07-16-2008, 06:08 PM #90 (**permalink**)

I feel like carbon is more of a true black, so more lining, I definitely prefer carbon.

I prefer Carbon for the outer V or as a liner.
