This gorgeous baked eyeshadow was a Christmas gift.  I have never tried Laura Mercier before, but after Black Karat, I may very well be back for more!  

Black Karat is a one of Laura Mercier's Baked Eye Colours.  There are several to choose from (see snapshot from Sephora above).   The shadows are a good size (0.06 oz) - about the same size as the MAC Mineralize shadows.  

Black Karat is a deep brown, almost black base, with rich gold shimmer throughout.  Applied wet you get a very intense color and applied dry it is a nice wash of shimmer.  Below, my swatches are used dry, and over Fyrinnae Pixie Epoxy.  

This is absolutely gorgeous.  Have you tried these shadows?  What is your favorite color?
