<h2>Illamasqua Obsidian Eyeshadow</h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/powder-eye-shadow-in-obsidian">Illamasqua Obsidian Eyeshadow</a></strong> (£15.50 for 0.07 oz.) is described as a &#8220;rich black.&#8221; It&#8217;s a medium-dark black with brown undertones and a mostly matte finish. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-extra-dimension-eyeshadows-reviews-photos-swatches-part-1#image2">MAC Dark Dare</a> is comparable. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/thebalm-nude-tude-eyeshadow-palette-review-photos-swatches#image10">theBalm Serious</a> is a smidgen lighter. <a href="http://www.temptalia.com/mac-black-silver-gray-eyeshadow-swatches#image2">MAC Carbon</a> has a similar intensity though it tends to be sheerer.</p>
<p>The texture is soft but not powdery, and it blends easily on the lid.  I think with black eyeshadow blendability is even more important, because you may just want to darken an existing color and other times, you&#8217;ll want the color to play a central role in the look.  It had good color payoff, and it applied smoothly and evenly. It&#8217;s not the blackest black eyeshadow I have seen, but it has a nice level of darkness that can also be used without looking dramatic right off the bat.  When I wore this shade, it managed to stay on for eight hours (without a base) with no creasing or fading.</p>
