Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo

I was really excited when these came out because eyeshadow was my favourite kind of cosmetic. I had the blue, green and purple shades. Each color came in a small glass tub with a plastic lid. The colors when inside the jar were beautiful solid metalic colors but when I applied them they were not as bright unless u applied it quite thick. I tried applying with a brush and that didnt work too well so I used my fingers and it applied way better. Because The colours were not bright enough for me, I would use these under some of my powdered eyeshadows creating different looks. It also made the powdered eyeshadows pop more and last from dusk till dawn. Because of that, I would pay $14 for one but Id love to see more shades in this range. Although 24hours is a bit over exhagerated, they do last alot longer then the average eyeshadow by miles. Or should I say hours.

Tips: These are great as a primer for underneath powder eyeshadow, they make the powder eyeshadow stand out way more as well as makes it last so much longer :)

Not what I expected

I heard a lot of people raving about this eye shadow so I was really excited to give it a go.. I bought bad to the bronze and was quite disappointed. I found that the product moved around a lot and it was hard to get an even layer that wasn't patchy. I also found that it would separate if I didn't use it for a few weeks, stuff the colour and consistency of Vaseline would be sitting on top.

Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I got a few holographic varieties and sorry to say but it did crease. Was very shimmery and you can get different looks depending on how well you blend and how heavy you put on the product. I think mine did fade a little as it sunk into my skin and creased after long wear even when you put powder on it seems to clump um so with this product i find less is more I got mine cheap so I am ok with that.

Great Colour

I have purchased the brown shade of this 'Bad to the bronze' and it works perfectly for both night time and day time. The colour goes on nicely but needs to be set before opening eyes as I've found it easily smudges above my eyelids.

They're OK, but I don't pay for OK

The colour tattoos have been raved abot but i found they're only good for one thing and one thing only. A base colour. They do make your eyeshadws last longer and they have a good, not great colour payoff. Bu the blendability is not great and they can be a bit of a pain in the butt to apply. Overall I'm happier with other cream eyeshadows that have more blendability for the same colour payoff.

Tips: Use only as a base coat.

Good Bases

I have these in two colours. Pomegranate Punk and Bad to the Bronze. Great colours. Well pigmented. Stays put for long periods.

I picked these up at a makeup sale. So did not pay full price. I love the colour Pomegranate punk. Great fall rich colour.

But I only use these for bases. I don't use them as shadows. Because I find them to apply unevenly at times. In fact I find they're a bit difficult to apply.Especially if the products are a bit old like mine, I really have to warm up the product to apply it to my lid. The formula is not as creamy as I would like. So can take a bit of effort which I do not like always hence I don't use as much as I would like.

None the less, good bases. Just needs a bit of effort.

Tips: Apply with fingers to warm up product and should go on lids more even and effortlessly.

Conflicted product

This product is amazing in the fact it does do what it says but I find that the formula/ product in the container can be difficult to apply without particular brushes, other hen that amazing pigment in product

Pottle of eyeshadow

I have four of these and while 3 are great 1 was a let down.

The colour pay off is amazing, they are so pigmented and easy to use, easy to blend and easy to apply.

However my gold/glitter shade is patchy hard to get on the makeup brush, hard to apply and not so easy to blend. I have sprayed my brush with setting spray before dipping into the shade and it still doesn't stick to the brush which naturally makes it hard to apply.

All shades are cream and sit on the lid as a cream also which make it a little heavy and tacky feeling if you use too much. (use a little if you can, the pigment is great enough to get good colour without packing it on)

All the shades are cream. in a small glass bottle which you can't really see the product through untill you unscrew the black lid off.

I will continue to use these shades but I will give up on the gold.

Pretty good

I brought the aqua one of these for a ball I was going to. The only reason I chose this was for the colour, I wasn't looking for staying power. Its easy to apply, it blends on with fingers or brush (i used a brush) it does seem to stay put once you have it on so dont be going too wild with the brights or you will end up looking a little crazy. Works fine applied with a thin brush as an eyeliner. I prob wouldn't use it a lot just cause I don't like that it stays on so much, I feel a little strange about it. I've never had a problem with my eye shadows coming off before I was ready and i didnt really like the extra effort I went to get it off. But overall its a great product and does what it says (not that I left it on 24 hours)

Tips: Go easy and build up the colour gradually to avoid looking clownish with the bright colours.

a bit "meh"

I have oily eyes which makes any eye shadow difficult to keep on, primers help a little. It's a bold colour and does look amazing, i used it line by lash line for subtle hit of purple. This product would be great for any one with normal eyes.
