Love this product! I recently found these on sale and bought five of them..... Im in love. The colours on their own are amazing and have a beautiful sheen to them. Used under shadow they create a great base which gives Mac a run for their money. They are a tad shiny which makes them harder to set though and should be used as a base with a shadow over top and not used in the crease. But for the price vs quality they are a must have essential for me now.

Tips: Try using them on their own with a translucent powder to set them to get the full effect of the colour
Can be worn on its own, or as an eyeshadow base. Very pigmented and easy to blend. I don't wear makeup for 24 hours but have worn this for 16 hours at least and my eye makeup held well. I love 'em but I wish that Maybelline would come out with a beige matte shade.
Tips: Best applied with fingers, and blend edges with a synthetic blending brush.
I used this for the ball last year in the colour 'Bold Gold" and ended up wearing my makeup for twelve hours, and my eye makeup looked the same after that time as it did in the beginning. The glitter in this colour particularly is very chunky so I prefer to spread it across my eyelid with my fingers but all in all its beautiful, great for gold smokey eyes. The other colours are just as pigmented, if not as chunkily glittered.
I have these in two neutral shades - barely branded and tough as taupe. They look really nice together.
The colours are great. The lighter shade makes for a great base. The darker shade is a really nice colour; really pigmented in that you dont need to use too much.
My only grievance with these is that they are really strange to apply. Doesn't go on too evenly with a brush, a cotton bud works ok but I always seem to revert to using my fingers to blend and smudge.
Will continue to use this product simply for the amazing colours (just wish they were easier to apply or came with a brush or something to apply with).
these get me so excited. I love the range of colours, how pigmented they are and you can create so many makeup looks using these, easy to blend. when it says color tattoo they are not lying. gosh i love these so much. my ultimate at the moment.
I love this product, it makes such a great primer for all eyeshadows!! Stays on all day - Only downfall is mine dried out!
Tips: Put onto your eyelids and then follow up with a similar colour eyeshadow for a vibrant look that lasts all day!
This is the perfect eyeshadow primer and I am in love! I use it all over my lid right up to my brow before applying shadows over top. This gives an amazing base, makes the colours pop, and helps to stop the shadows from creasing. I also use it to line under my eyes which gives me a shimmery wide-awake look.
Tips: Leaving the lid off will dry the product out quickly. Make sure you put the lid back on as soon as you're finished using the product. My first one dried out when I was doing someone's ball makeup and left the lid off for about half an hour!
SO MANY COLOURS! BRILIANT TEXTURE! SO SMOOTH AND CREAMY AND EASY TO APPLY AND I AM IN LOVE! A holy grail product.
Tips: Can dry easy - but easy fix - dab a little water.
I've got really oily lids with deep set eyes, so even with primer this still creased (grrr!). However - If I just use it on the wee part of my upper lid near the lashline that doesn't disappear under my "fold" it stays put ALL day! first shadow ever to do that even withOUT primer!! I like to use the "barely branded" (kind of a pale cream/nude?) just to highlight my upper lids, as I like to use coloured liners on the lower lid, and it gives a nice opened effect, paired with an awesome lengthening mascara ofcourse :) It has a nice smooth creamy consistency and is easy to layer up for a more intense colour if that's what your after, or a nice light coating for just a wee bit of highlighting.
So if you don't have shadow hating lids like me this would be great for you! Even in saying that, Its still the best one I've tried on my lids anyway- just not near the crease.
Tips: Much much easier to apply with fingertip! I need to keep a short nail to do so however but I've usually got a random broken one anyway lol.
The colours are amazing and the pigment is great, will agree that it doesn't go on evenly if put on with a brush though. I also can't vouch for the 24hr thing, mainly because I haven't had it on for a real extended time, more just playing around. I have the purple, teal and gold and I'm so gonna buy the rest of them, just because all the colours are so beautiful!
Tips: Apply with fingers and not a brush, just because it doesn't on evenly with a brush! :)
