Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I own these colour tattos in Barely Branded, Bad to the Bronze, Bold Gold and Tenacious Teal. I love Barely Branded for everyday wear as a cream shadow base. I always wear a primer underneath, then this base and then eye shadow on top. I think these really help intesify the colours of your eyeshadow and also help them stick to your eyelid.

Tenacious Teal makes a great liner! I like using it with a thin angled liner brush and placing the liner on my upper or lower lash line, it lasts all day and doesnt move once set.

I have been using the Barely Branded shade as my every day primer/base and i love it! I find it lasts all day with no creasing or flaking. I normally apply powder shadows over the top and it makes the colours pop and last all day with no creasing. It also looks great on its own, great for trips away if you have to pack light. I'm almost at the bottom of the pot and there has been no drying of the product. I will be buying more and in more colours.

I use these daily as an all over eyelid colour by themselves or as a base under my powder eyeshadows. They are great they blend on easily, don't crease and last all day until I remove them with waterproof eye makeup remover. One little pot of these will last ages before it dries out just remember to screw the lid on tightly.

I have a few of these but need more. I love them as a base for my eyeshadow. They really make any colour you put over top stand out and stay put! There are a good range of colours and I often pair them, a darker one on the outer half of the eye and lighter on the inner half. They help create great dimension to an eye look. The only thing I don't like is the product can dry up before you get to use it all.

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.
