Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I recently started collecting these and im growing to love them! I now own Bad to the Bronze, Creamy Beige, Barley Branded, and Cool Crush.

When I first applied this product, I used my finger and found that it did not apply smooth, but patchy and pretty horrible! I gave it up for awhile thinking it was just my wrinkly eyelids :(

HOWEVER, I tried it again with a flat eyeshadow brush and it turned out much much better! I was able to pat it on and smooth it out and it looked amazing!

The colors last all day, I have used it both alone and as a base and find it works great both ways! They blend well together and with eyeshadows, and now I find I use them on a daily basis.

My favorite colors are Bad to the Bronze (shimmery bronze color) and Barley Branded (a matte brown - close to the Bad to the Bronze color).

When I first saw these I was dying to try them, they were affordable and had a great range of colours. I brought the shade 'Barely Branded' as I was after a fairly natural colour and I was pretty disappointed. The application is messy as this product doesn't seem to want to go on where you want and I found it creased TONS through out the day. Having read other peoples comments, I'm going to try use it as a base instead of my main shade but overall I was very disappointed as it wasn't what I was after when I brought it.

I have this product in 'Bad to the Bronze' and 'Barely Beige' and use both regularly. Barely Beige I use exclusively as a base but Bad to the Bronze works well on its own as a creme shadow and as a base for other colours. These work best when applied over the top of an eye primer and really help make your eyes and any layered eyeshadow pop!

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.

Bad to the bronze is the shade I purchased, cute packaging, gorgeous colour, nicely pigmented and beautiful shimmer. Super easy to use, glides on smooth while just using your finger tips and blends easy with other eyeshadows. Definitely lasts all day and night. Affordable and will be purchasing more colours in future.

So far I only have one shade, which is Bold Gold and I am so incredibly in love with it. It did come with a little layer of... pigment, I guess? on the top of it but once I got that off I discovered a beautiful, creamy golden eyeshadow that I have worn both on its own and as a base. It's absolutely gorgeous, buildable intensity and so easy to just apply with your fingers. Doesn't crease or smudge although sometimes you might get a tiny bit of fallout with the shimmer. Really love it though and I'm desperate to buy more shades.

Update: To avoid going over the character limit I will list good and bad shades.

Good shades: Shimmering Sea, Sunwashed Sky, Inked in Pink, Tough as Taupe, Gold Rush, Audacious Asphalt, Turquoise Fever, Fierce and Tangy, Too Cool.

Not so great shades that come off patchy: Barely Branded and Electric Blue.

These things are so great I now own 3! They are so creamy and pigmented, they are easy to apply with fingers or a brush. You can wear them fine alone or under other colours. Cheap as it is but you can often find them on special too! I also love how you can get matts and sparkles!

Seriously this is one of my Holy Grail products! I will be purchasing these again and again and again! I love them so much! They look fab on their own and they take any shaddow from meh to OH WOW! Deffinately worth every dollar you pay for them, my only regret is not purchasing sooner!

I have a few of these now, and mainly use them as a base for my eyeshadow as they work amazing as an eye primer because of how long they last. These literally last until you wash them off, and they don't budge! It is a nice, thick sticky kind of formula and once you apply it it sets and it's stuck there until you remove it! It is easy to apply, and you don't need much... Not to mention affordable and they are actually quite large pottles I have barely made a dent because a little goes a long way! And there is basically every colour imaginable....

I bought this in the shade Bad to the Bronze as I was attracted to the shade - a great light sparkling gold colour. Unfortunately it is too pale for me and I don't like the look of it on my eyelids unless it is layered with a darker shadow, but my real gripe is that it creases on me! I'm not a fan for this reason - I cannot stand creased eyeshadow. The formula is nice though, cream eyeshadows are so easy to use and the colour range of these is great and increasing all the time.
