LBD

LBD is a dark black with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a lightly dusty, thinner texture that wasn't as blendable as it could have been. It is workable, but it'll take extra effort and was best applied in sheerer layers, then built up. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. NARS Fauna (DC, $25.00)(100% similar).
