Carbon is the best for smokey....I like black tied for a more consentrative amount of black

I use it almost EVERYDAY.

Same here! I use both of these the most out of all my shadows!

I like them both, they do totally different things. HTH

I have both, but i find myself using carbon more often...black tied is freakin gorgeous, but it smudges more easily....when i wear it it ends up under my eyes in a matter of hours! but i recently started using UDPP and use carbon first and layer on with black tied. makes a pretty shimmery smokey eye!

I hate Black Tied with a passion. Seriously, I was so glad when I swapped it away.

Carbon is a little bit difficult to work with but I think it's SO worth the effort!

Carbon!!

I actually mix them, but if I had to choose Black Tied is AMAZING and adds something special, can't go wrong.

Tough call.I gotta say,I LOVE them both.

If I want simple black smokey eye,I put Carbon on the lid,and Black Tied in the crease.

I pick Carbon hands down. I honestly haven't tried Black Tied myself, but when I have Jane Clubbing, I'm set. As much as I love MAC shadows, I turn towards drugstore for cheaper options as close as they are. Carbon Carbon Carbon!!

I like Black Tied because it has a little bit of sparkle.

Carbon is the better of the two. Black Tied stands out very little despite how shiny the glitter makes it look. There's a little square compact by Victoria's Secret called Very Sexy Fierce that has an amazing payoff. It's the only VS eye shadow I own but dayum, I have 2 of them just in case. There's a Smashbox color called Envy as well but my vote stays with VS because I'm in love.

carbon for sure. black tied looks prettier in the pan but it doesn't go on that way.

 

[LASHionista]

Carbon is wayyy cooler. You can add some sparkle but you dont have to.

 

[Destiny007]

definitely CARBON

 

[pipsqu3ak]

Carbon, for sure. Black Tied has hardly any color payoff, I don't even know why I own it.

If your going to use a liner, i think that carbon is great wet. if your going to use or need a base black tied. i have both. when i really need an all out matte black, i've used NYX black and its really stark and black and its also great as a liner, shadow and everything is really black. i hope this helps.
