Thanks to their pronounced and well recognizable spectral features, carbon stars can be identified easily in Galactic halo and galaxies. In this paper we will review the extensive searches for carbon stars in the Magellanic Clouds with emphasis on the recent work devoted to the carbon stars of low luminosity and the more classical carbon stars populating the outer regions of these systems.
