Hi everyone! I hope you're all well and enjoying your bank holiday weekend. I thought I would review my Maybelline Eyestudio Colour Tattoo 24 hour Cream Gel Eyeshadows today as I recently purchased the Pink Gold and Metallic Pomegranate shades in a really naughty 'I have exams and I want to treat myself to pretty things' Boots haul.
Maybelline claims that these eyeshadows offer:
"24 hour wear shadow... Intense, long-lasting colour saturation. The cream formula glides on without creasing and keeps colour vibrant"
I never know what to make of these grand claims of 18-24 hour wear, because on the one hand I do of course want something long lasting, but always feel a little miffed because I know I will NEVER wear a face of make up long enough to test it out. I would definitely say that these are long lasting though and last throughout the day without sliding or creasing at all. Out of the three I have tried, I would say the Pink Gold has the worst lasting effect but I think that is because it is the lightest shade so any fading is most noticeable.
I think these are not only easier to build than powdered eyeshadows so you can get your desired shade and effect, but the cream formula means that they are a quick addition to your make up if you are in a hurry or want to transform your make up from day to night.
Usually I'm not a fan of drug store make up packaging because I just don't think it can compare to the quality and luxurious feel of high end, but I think the packaging of these eyeshadows suits the product really well and is also really practical. The screw top lid means that they won't make a mess in your make up bag or your handbag if you're on the go, and they are nice and compact.
I love the way the light reflects off these eyeshadows and I've been really really impressed with the three I've purchased so far. These retail at £4.99 at Boots - and at the moment Boots are offering 3 for 2 across all Maybelline products if you wanted to give these a try!
Have you tried any of the Maybelline Colour Tattoo eyeshadows? If so, what did you think?
Also, in the next few weeks I'm looking at purchasing a new camera so I can majorly improve the quality of my photos on here. If you have any recommendations at all I would really appreciate it!

I am such a fan of these! Metallic Pomegrante is my favourite! I think I need to expand and definitely pick up pink gold x

Brilliant aren't they! I love the pink gold it is perfect for every day xx
DeleteI'd have to buy all three of them, I wouldn't be able to pick just one! I haven't tried any cream eye shadows before do you use your fingers or a brush?

I know, now I own all three I couldn't pick a favourite! I actually just use my finger - I'm not keen on doing it really and it makes me feel about 12 applying make up but that's what the packaging suggests and it does work well. I'm sure they'd apply fine with a brush though - I might have to give it a go! :) xx
DeleteI love applying on and on bronze under the lower lash line, it gives a lovely smokey effect without being too dark or harsh, especially being paler skinned :) xxx
ReplyDeleteNever even thought about trying that, such a good idea! Yeah I'm pale too and I think it could deflect from my dark under eye circles haha! Thanks for stopping by xx
