So I know that everybody has been raving about the Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow for what seems like years; How lasting it is, the gorgeous colours, how pigmented it is- so on and so forth. But lets add another review just to make sure you go out and get them!!!
The reason it has taken me ever so long to buy these has nothing to do with the colours, the price or lack of want; but more to do with the packaging.
There isn't anything wrong with it per-say, but every time I have gone to give them a swatch in the store {I am queen of swatches! I don't think I could walk through a store without doing one} the sample pot has been so dried out and gross that it put me off buying them. My concern was that if for some reason the lid wasn't done up tight enough it would quickly dry out.
Hopefully its just the lazy staff that have put this thought into my head; and even if they do I won't be complaining but rushing out to snap up another!
The formula is just outstanding, I went to work with a swatch on my hand and it lasted the entire shift {even through the washing up!} Although I'm slightly dubious as to it lasting 24hours.
The shades that I picked are super glittery, which I am a sucker for and so so build-able. You can go from a easy every day look to a gorgeous smokey eye with just a few swipes. I have found that it takes a bit of elbow grease to blend but the end result is worth it! I'd definitely suggest using a primer underneath these {sneaky post blast- If your looking for a new primer I shared my five favourites of all time here!} As with most cream shadows it does crease after time.
If I had to choose my favourites it would be Bold Gold for under the lower lash line, its a tiny bit to bold on the lids for my liking; and then Bad to the Bronze or Pomegranate Punk for the lids!! I couldn't chose between them, they are both as beautiful as each other :)
So pretty pretty please with a cherry on top go out and get one or two of these!! I can only hope you will fall in love as I have.
ps. Look how glorious the day was today! I think Autumn is trying to give us a few more rays before we have to start wearing thermals again x
Great Post. I am late on the band wagon also!
ReplyDeleteI am a MASSIVE fan of these colour tattoos, they're just like the MAC paintpots I think. Recommend them to anyone!

I love the colour tattoos but I am a complete natural palette girl and the ones that are out on the UK are pretty much all really bright.And so we wait for them to come over here!

ReplyDeleteI love the gold one! It's the perfect base colour :)
