A staple in ALL of our kits, I’m sure, MAC’s Carbon can be used as a shadow or liner, wet or dry. Enter 01 Black by NYX Cosmetics. I’ve posted on NYX before and I’m truly a fan of this company. Formerly sold at obscure, discounted beauty supply stores, you can now find NYX on the shelves at Ulta. 01 Black is ALMOST an exact replica of Carbon, although to get the best results as a liner, you MUST wet your brush first. Pigment payoff is the same in my opinion, but I find the NYX version much more blendable. Carbon wins for staying power, but if you’re in a pinch, NYX is more than sufficient.

g00d to know!!! i love carbon for sure. also, that pink blush u recommended packs a lot of punch!!!! more so than any mac blush i’ve bought.
also, i couldn’t buy the blush here. i had to get in vegas of all places. o well! totally worth it.
great post!
Thanks Summer! I am still learning about make up (late pass) and these posts are golden to me! I may need some tips during my next visit to the spa.
If I ever use up my MAC carbon, I’ll be giving this a try
Thanks Summer!
I have both these eyeshadows as well & I agree the NYX black is easier to blend.. I find Carbon can be kind of hard to blend & somewhat splotchy at times BUT I love how black it is.. nothing can compare in that aspect imho.
When I bought my NYX black e/s I found it @ BBB Fashion [on 51st & Indian School] for .99 score
lol. I went back recently & they still had shadows & jumbo pencils in stock which I couldn’t believe! Also just in case anyone here wears Red Cherry lashes that’s where I always buy mine… for only 1.59 a pair, cheapest place I’ve found.
Same here Summer I am also learning about makeup and anytime I can get a cheaper dupe it is a big plus for me, I make a list usually and then when I go to the store get them. Keep these posts coming!! Thank you!
No prob Aggie, there’s a TON of NYX products I love. I think I’m gonna do a post listing every NYX dupe compared to MAC, Shew sent me a TON
Yaaay! I’d love ya’ll for that! I have been getting a lot of nyx stuff little by little but havent really compared it since I dont own very much mac (just have the basic e/s and fix+.
Aggie have you seen their accessories? They even have a brush belt similar to MAC’s
