The Colors
Dusk // An inky blue of hypnotizing richness. Dusk is at once dark and vibrant, smoky and bright. This shade evokes the churning sea, the twilight sky, and precious lapis lazuli.
Cinder // A bold, cool-toned storm gray for looks both subtle and daring. Cinder is at once moody and approachable, nostalgic and ultramodern. This shade evokes ominous storm clouds, delicate ashes, and cold slate.
ABOUT THE PIGMENT AND ITS USAGE: Dusk is created with the deep blue of ultramarine pigment. Historically ultramarine pigment was made from lapis lazuli stone ground into a fine powder, and this resulted in the rarest blue pigment used in Renaissance painting. Though it also beautifully reflects the pigment’s hue, the name ‘ultramarine’ comes from 14th- and 15th-century Italian traders referencing its origin ‘beyond the sea’ from mines in Afghanistan.
Like other mineral pigments, modern cosmetics-grade ultramarine is synthesized for safety, as mined pigments may contain notable levels of heavy metals. Ultramarine pigment is approved for use in the United States for eyes and face, but not lips. In the European Union, ultramarine is approved for use on eyes, face and lips.

The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner casts the deepest shadows, and smokes out into the darkest gaze. This cruelty-free formula is richly pigmented, deep, moody, and dramatic, and can be worn in a wide range of applications. Its mysterious jar invites creativity and allows for greater flexibility in application styles and techniques versus a pencil eyeliner. If you have searched as we did for the perfect inky, moody, dramatic kohl eyeliner, this may move you as much as it does us.
HOW TO APPLY
The Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner is neither gel nor powder, and its crème formula behaves with different properties. We recommend using your favorite brushes for application. For a winged eyeliner look, or a soft cat eye, we recommend an angled liner brush. To create a lived-in smoky look, apply with a smudge brush and diffuse out with a soft-bristled shadow brush like The Eye Soot Brush. With just a bit of practice, it can also be applied with fingertips for a smudgy, smoky and perfectly imprecise application.
The Black Orb is formulated to set without a harsh dry down. To best allow the film former to work its magic, we recommend applying in thin layers to allow the product to set, rather than doing a heavy single application. However, The Black Orb remains workable, which allows for a more forgiving application. The nonvolatile formula also ensures gentle wear on the delicate skin around your eyes. If you have hooded or extremely oily lids, you may wish to dust a layer of translucent powder on top after application to lock it in further.

The packaging is super cute and comes with a lot of product. I can totally tell this is going to last a long time! The application was smooth and there was enough time to blend if you wanted. Buildable from light wash of blue to deep and opaque blue.
- BBrittanyReviewingThe Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner: DuskRated 3 out of 5 stars6 months agoNot Quite As Expected
Of the 3 eyeliners I own (Abyss, Iron, and Dusk) Dusk is my least favorite to the extent that I've stopped reaching for it. By comparison, it applies the sheerest, and on me the blue isn't nearly as rich as it appears in the product photos. No matter how carefully I apply, it's a struggle to get opaque coverage that isn't patchy, and it's the only shade that gave me issues with transferring.

And this is the perfect color for a pale face’s daytime smokey
- HPHeather P.Verified BuyerReviewingThe Black Orb Enigmatic Kohl Eyeliner: DuskI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoPerfect blue eye color
My favorite Rituel de Fille product was a limited edition deep blue eye soot called Nightfall. This turns out to be a perfect replacement that can be used smudged for a smoky shadow look, or as a liner, even better! The only gripe I might have is the packaging, which is cool looking but a little heavy and hard to store.

I’ve found that with a generous eye primer before and careful setting, this soot has become one of my favorite eye paint-type products. Albeit not transfer proof on its own, the formula worth taking the extra steps; it’s much nicer to work with than many others I’ve tried in my years of being an eyeliner fiend. 🖤
