I dont know why but I totally love mascaras that are SUPER black, but for some reason it seems hard to find. I have found MACs Plushlash to be darker than most, but still not very impressed with it. I also like Maybellines Great Lash in that blackest black color.

I am still looking for something better though! Does anybody know any pitch black mascaras?

I remember reading a thread on this awhile back also, but I did a search and couldnt find what I was looking for. Hope you girls can help me!

I think that Loreal's Voluminous in Carbon Black is pretty darn black! And not to mention a really great mascara.

I really like L'oreal's Carbon Black too. I don't use it much though because I prefer waterproof mascara.

Dior's Diorshow Blackout is very black, as well. There's something in the formula...resin maybe?...that's really black and has reflective properties for a dark, wet look.

The blackest one I've tried was Maybelline Lash Stylist. It might be hard to apply to curly/thick lashes though.

Haha Mari you must know me lol. Ive tried Lash Stylist before, and while it was very black and I liked it alot, even after I got the hang of using the comb, my curly lashes still didnt really agree with it.

Thanks for the high and low end recs everybody! It gives me a place to start looking at least, I live an hour drive from Sephora

So this is a little OT from my original post, I still want to know if you know of a really black mascara!

BUT I am now wondering, as this is very important to me lol, does the Diorshow Blackout or the Loreal Voluminous leaves lashes crispy/stiff? I hate that. Also if it will start flaking and fall in my contact lenses thats also no good.

carbon black doesnt flake or get too dry as long as you replace it before it gets all old.i am also a big fan of very black mascaras and i love carbon black.not to mention it would be alot cheaper and easier to get since you live so far from sephora

Oh ok thanks for that! Yea I am a pretty big fan of replacing my mascara every 1-2 months, it goes on better when its new. And yes it would be alot easier for me to get, so Ill probably go look for it soon. Maybe if I end up driving the way to Sephora for some other shopping Ill stop in and try Blackout too.

Try Rimmel's Eye Magnifier eye widening mascara in Extremely Black - I am loving this stuff right now. I think it's blacker than the Voluminous in Carbon - which I've tried too (but it was a long time ago).

Thanks! I went to get the Carbon Voluminous a couple days ago but I didnt even have enough money on me LOL sad its only $10 or something like that. I am going to go get it soon! I need a new mascara lol. I like the drugstore recommendations lol maybe I will try the Rimmel one if its cheaper.

I have often wondered the same thing, I never wear anything but black mascara but sometimes it seems like ray black or chrcoal black, and its so misleading! So far I have found Smashbox or Bourjois to have the blackest black, shade and there is always the toekn pink and green maybelline that everyone seems to swear by, but since I have longer lashes I need a larger brush.

Awesome post!
