Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

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.

This product comes in a cute yet strange container. When you look at it side on all you see is glass and the black lid no colour till you turn it upside down and I've seen a lot of fantastic colours and when they were on sale I thought I better buy one for a try. This colour is a nude gold colour, which is easily applied by fingertip am yet to try with a brush yet but so far so good

These pots are magic. Once you get used to the correct way to apply, you won't look back. I own about 7 of these and wear them most of the week. They stay on for all heavy exercise and don't fade, smear or bleed. Micellar water takes it off, or jojoba oil - my 2 make up removers of choice. Dramatic black is my new black eyeliner for eye lid. Barely beige is good for nude look. Bronze and Champagne are nice as is with some eyeliner, or under shadows as a primer. Taupe looks like a neutral grey on me, can be made dramatic for a darker eye.

There are 2 ways to apply: Using an ELF concealer brush I pat and poke it onto the brush making sure there are no crumbs. Then swipe it into the corners and keep filling over the lid. Most of the shades perform very well like this. Deep forest I chucked out as that went smeary and didn't stay still. It's a leather variety like the taupe and dramatic black but the formula isn't as good. Or you can pat your finger into the pot and then pat it on your eyelid, giving a more blended out look. This I don't prefer for the darker shades as I find it hard to get an even shade using finger tips.

You don't need primer with these, in fact I think it stops them sticking if you use it.

I love the packaging - it's standard but easy to use and has a large enough surface area to dip a brush or finger in there. It's a great dupe for MAC and there are a range of colours. It is a creamy texture and blends like a dream. It is great for use as a base to help powder eyeshadows stay on better and also works well on its own.

I have this in breaking bronze and its perfect. Great pigmentation, great size pot ,does exactly what it says on the tin. Ive never used MAC paintpot, but hear its an affordable 'copy' of that it, i will have to get one of those if its as good as this Maybelline product. Maybelline has done it again!

i recently brought this in the shade Barely Branded, which is -supposedly- a dupe for a MAC paintpot, however i was so dissapointed in this product! i applied it using my fingertips as it suggests, as a base for my eyeshadow and i noticed no difference in my eyeshadow (no longativity or vibrance). i also read that it was a nice subtle highlighter, so i tried this and it crumbled, didn't sit well with my foundation and wasn't easy to blend. i was really looking forward to loving this product but sadly its not for me :(

Oh I do enjoy eye shadows. I quite often prefer palettes to single pots but these little gems are winners for me.

The colours are gorgeous and super long lasting.

I do apply mine with brushes as my fingers are quite large and my nails are a bit too long not to use a brush. The formula is rich and creamy and so easy to apply and really stays in place all day. I havent tested the 24 hour claim, I am way too old for that game now, however it lasts all day and that is good enough for me.

This product is awesome! I have to admit I was a little put off by the name at first but after using it, I can’t recommend enough! Being a crème eyeshadow, it’s nice and super easy and quick to apply. It is really suited to dramatic looks, giving your eyes lots of definition and colour. The only downside I have found is that they do tend to dry up quicker than other brands.

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
