Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I have this in the shade 'Bad to the Bronze' and absolutely love it under any neutral eye look. It really helps the shadow stay longer. On it's own, it does crease a little on my lids but using primer beforehand fixes this problem. Otherwise, has great staying power and looks gorgeous!

I didn't have a very good experience with these, they wernt very pigmented hard to apply and just plain difficult I would not ever buy again, also the stay power of these isnt very good i found that they only last an hour or so without primer and maybe a couple more hours with it

I purchased the bad to the bronzed shade. This does what it says it will and does not budge. And creates a beautiful base for bronze shadows. However, after a couple of uses my eyes started having a reaction to this and got dry and flaky. I never have this issue with other brands only Maybelline. Sadly it won't be a repurchase for me!

Great product! I have Barely Branded and use it as an eye shadow base and a highlighter to highlight my brow bone and inner corners. It does crease a little but stays on all day.

I have 3 of these and they are great!! They work really well under other eyeshadows as a base/primer and help the colours to last longer.

I was a bit reluctant to try this product as I hadn't had a good experience with cream eyeshadows. But this product has gotten me back into them! The range of colours are amazing and the price is very reasonable!

I found these to be incredible. They are highly pigmented, a great base if you want to add colours on top and they stay on for ages. I highly recommend these.

I’m going to confess that I am a MAC snob. (Side note- I own MAC ‘Snob’ lipstick, and it’s great and yes you should go buy one). However, certain ‘drugstore’ products have sneakily made it into the MAC cool kids club in my makeup kit. One of such products is my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Silver Strike. These awesome pots of goodness are the affordable alternative to MAC Paint Pots.

Silver Strike is intensely pigmented and applies evenly to the lid. I like to use my fingers to apply so that I retain the most of the colour intensity. The texture could be ever so slightly smoother but this really isn’t a big deal.

This stuff lasts really well and doesn’t crease. As for the 24h claim, I do not know. Aint nobody got time to sit around for 24h without taking off his or her makeup. All I can say is when I take off my makeup at the end of a standard day, the eyeshadow looks to be in relatively the same state as when I put it on. You won’t want to muck around once you get it on your eyes though- there is only a small window of time in which the product can be manipulated before it dries, at which time it will not budge. Because of this, they can be a little bit harder to work with if you are intending to blend several colours ensemble.

Now for the colour; Silver Strike. If you raided Michael Hill, melted down all their charm bracelets and put it into a pot, that’s what the colour is like. Pure, glittering, crisp silver. It’s not steely, not grey, not asphalt-esque, just a perfect bright, shimmery silver. Particularly beautiful on blue eyes with a fresh complexion and bright lips, but anyone can rock it.

Maybelline Colour Tattoos come in a screw top pot and have no discernable scent. They are non-sticky, long wearing, intensely pigmented and a great product to have in your makeup arsenal.

If you want your eyes to make a statement with minimal effort, give these Maybelline Colour Tattoos a whirl.

The colours are amazing and the pigment is great, will agree that it doesn't go on evenly if put on with a brush though. I also can't vouch for the 24hr thing, mainly because I haven't had it on for a real extended time, more just playing around. I have the purple, teal and gold and I'm so gonna buy the rest of them, just because all the colours are so beautiful!
