Black does not always mean black – especially on the beauty market. If the name of a product says ‘Black’, you can expect a black with a blue, red or sometimes even green undertone. Most of the time, the result looks dark gray rather than black. But which products guarantee a true black on your skin or lashes and what are the blackest products on the market?

  1. Eyeshadow:
    Everyone knows the problem: You want to recreate a dark, black smokey eye look but instead the result looks like a dark gray. The problem is that there are not many eye shadows on the market that are highly pigmented and look the same on the eyelid as they do in the packaging. But there is one product that will not disappoint anyone. The newcomer makeup brand Makeup Geek has brought out an eyeshadow called ‘Corrupt’, which is probably the blackest eyeshadow that ever existed. Currently, it is considered the darkest eyeshadow on the market.
  2. Eyeliner:
    There are various types of eyeliners, whether it’s liquid, in gel form or whether it’s a kajal pencil. Most of the time the gel version shows the best results. The gel eyeliner in the number ’77’ by the Polish brand Inglot is a real hit if you want to achieve a truly black result. Therefore it is ideal for any cat eyeliner look.
  3. Mascara:
    The Diorshow Blackout Mascara by Dior is one of the blackest mascaras on the beauty market. If you have some difficulties finding the right mascara for your lashes that will actually show off, this product is definitely worth a try.
