complimentary nude

I have one of these tattoos in the color nude compliment. It is a metallic grey/Brown colour. I used to have another 3 colors but I never really used them so I on sold them. This colour though, is a very much loved part of my makeup collection.

I love the packaging on these, it's a round, clear glass container with a black lid. If you turn the jar upside down, you can see the colour through The glass. It would be cool if the lid was the same colour as The product to make it easier to find the colour you are looking for though, when I had four of them, i would usually have to check them all before getting the shade that I wanted.

my favorite way of using this product is as an eyeshadow base. I have used these by themselves before and while I find them easy to blend and apply, they crease really easily on me which put meoff using them in that way. I like to apply this with my finger, i have tried a flat brush and a blending brush and it came off patchy and just way more hassle. I use my index finger to apply two thin coats and I use my middle finger to buff out the edge so it's blended out into my crease. I like to do two coats, just to get an even layer although I don't find this colour patchy at all and it swatches beautifully. I then like to let it set for a few minutes before applying shadow. I go over it with a skin toned matte shadow and then continue on with whatever eyeshadow look I'm going for. I find using this colour as a base, gives a nice bright effect to any kind of light shadow that I do. If I go really dark, it doesn't make a huge difference except in lasting power. I do find that this helps my colour to stay and not crease. It's not as good as ud primer potion but heaps better then other bases that I've tried.

This product will last for so long too. The container looks deceptively small but I've been using this for months and while I have a big dip, I'm yet to hit the bottom of the pot. I don't plan on buying any of the colored pots but I definitely would buy this colour again and I'd love to try out taupe and bronze shades too.

Tips: Use your fingers and work in thin layers. If you want to only wear the tattoos, try setting it with a similar colour eyeshadow to prevent creasing.

Matte Brown

I've heard so many great things about these Maybelline Color Tattoo's. I had actually been searching for the shade Bad To The Bronze. Instead I stumbled across the shade 260 Matte Brown. I knew I had to have this as I am in love with anything with a matte finish right now.

The packaging is basically identical to a gel liner pot with a screw on lid, except a tad bit wider at the bottom. It has a screw on lid as per usual. The eyeshadow is of a creamy consistancy which is smooth and easy to apply. The matte finish is just gorgeous and this brown looks stunning with blue eyes! It does last for 24 hours as this product states and its just such a good eye shadow. A little bit goes extremely a long way. I've used this heaps and I still haven't made a dent in the pot. The only thing I dislike is that this can transfer to the upper part of the eyelid during the day, but it depends how you apply it.

Over all, these are great! I will be purchasing some other shades shortly.

A great staple.

I have heard so many good things about these, that I decided to try them when the bucket sale came into town - and I'm really glad I did. I currently have a nudeish colour - which I find makes a fantastic base, and a sea-green. The pigmentation is fantastic - a little goes a very long way with these! It has a cream consistency - which makes them very easy to blend and spread. I have a feeling these eyeshadows will last me a very long time! I am super impressed with the ones I have so far, and will be definitely adding more to my collection.

Tips: Definitely a product for the fingers rather than a brush.

shimmering sea

this is a bluey- greyish colour. I had never used a colour tattoo before and in all honesty i didn't find it that great. I found that this colour did not apply smoothly and it started creating patches in different place. I'm not sure if this was just my colour or if they all do this but i was definietly not impressed. I was kind of dissapointed because i hear such great things. The colour however is really nice and would work well with fairer skin tones.

Apparently some colors are great, and some are just so patchy. You could try to do just thin layers and see if that works Better?

Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo

I really like the maybelline colour tattoo eye shadow. It comes in a cute little pot with a screw on lid. The product itself it very buttery, pigmented and shimmery. These eye shadows work really well as a base. I usually apply this product using my finger as I find it works best this way. A little bit of product also goes a long way and the eye shadow lasts a long time.

Colour tattoos

colour tatoos are great eyeshadow base. I find using your ring finger warms up the product and applies it much easier, I love using bad to the bronze as a all over lid colour when I'm in a rush in the mornings. Taupe is also a great contour colour for fair toned skin.

Tips: Use your finger as the product can be harder to apply with a brush.

Colour Tattoo

I think this is a really good product. I have sandy shores and charcoal. I often use them as a base after I've primed my lids to make the shadows stick easier and last longer, especially if there is a lot of fall out. they are not as pigmented as i thought and i wouldn't use it on its own.but definitely good for making other shadows stay longer.

Tips: Use your fingers!!

Beautiful colors, long lasting!

This product is a god send, literally it is perfect for giving that flawless chic eye makeup. It comes in so many amazing colors and I have a mini collection myself. Definitely worth it.

Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I bought this in the colour barely branded and I had high hopes for it. Honestly I am disappointed, it doesn't last on my lids, after a couple of hours it has creased. Trying to apply it with your fingers can be hard, it isn't as smooth as I would expect and it can look patchy on your lids if you're not careful. I only use this as a highlighter for my inner corner.

Great

I love this product. It comes in heaps of different colours, blends easy, is very pigmented and is a great base. This product is also very long lasting and doesnt crease very much and also does not transfer .An issue is that the top layer dries up relatively easy.

Tips: I would recommend using fingers rather than a brush because it blends a lot easier and is far more pigmented if you do so.
