I prefer black tied to carbon (I don't like matte e/s) but others good shimmery blacks are beauty marked (with purplish shimmers) or Cloudburst (from the Blue storm LE, with teal shimmers)
I'd chose Black Tied over Carbon, it's easier to apply and it has a blit of silver shimmer to it whick I love. Carbon isn't bad though..depends on what finish you want too because carbon is your straight forward matte black
