I love love love this product! I don't have extremely oily eyelids but a do have a small problem with creased eye shadows for time to time and the color tattoos eliminate that issue. They work well as a base for eye shadow and also look spectacular on their own, especially with all the different colours available in the range. highly highly recommend these love them and they are a staple for beginners :)

These eyeshadows are a great purchase! They're really cheap and the colour range is really nice! They last on all day and can be used as a base/primer, or an eyeshadow by themselves. They take a bit of work to get off, but well worth it! I assume that they're similar to the Mac Paint Pots (I haven't bought any) but do try!
I've had some less than amazing experiences previously with cream eyeshadows that just didn't fit the bill, but after hearing so much hype about Maybelline's Colour Tattoos I had to give them a go.
I have this in 3 metallic shades - Bad To The Bronze, Eternal Gold and Permanent Taupe. They're all very pigmented, eye-catching hues that give really good colour payoff. I normally apply eyeshadow using a brush, but I found these work best applied using my finger.
I'm also not normally a fan of pot-style packaging but it does work well with this product, letting you easily see how at a glance which shadow is which. They're also good if you're looking at a versatile product to take away with you as the packaging is really sturdy. I often use these when I'm in a hurry for a quick pop of colour.
In terms of longevity, I'm not sure whether these would last '24 hours' as I haven't attempted to wear them that long but I find the colour wears well without creasing all through the day.
For the price you pay you get sooo much product and you really don't need to use a lot of colour, so I can see this lasting a long time - really great value for money and I highly recommend you try them if you haven't already!
Tips: Fingertip application works best!
I use this under shadows and it makes them last longer and look better,it stays on all day and is a really good base for a smokey eye. You can apply them different ways; you can chuck it on super quick just by itself or as a base. It's great and I like them better than mac paint pits because they don't dry up in the container as quick so they last ages after opening
Tips: Apply with fingers
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.
Tips: I would definitely recommend these to people, however I think for more mature skin with lines in the eyelids these may sink into and emphasize these lines.
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.
Tips: Often on sale at the warehouse and farmers
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!
Tips: Use an eye primer to make these stand out and apply easier.
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.
Tips: Apply with fingertips, I personally hate applying most shades with a brush, but sometimes for the darker colours a brush is your best bet.
I absolutely love this product!
I have three colours - 'bad to the bronze', 'barely branded' and 'painted purple'.
Amazing quality for a great price. Plus there is a lot of product!
I love using these as a base or on their own - they work great as both! When I use them as a base they make my eyeshadow POP and last all day/night. They are really easy and quick to use. I love putting some on my eyes if I'm in a rush and don't have time to do a full on eyeshadow look.
This product doesn't crease at all on me - which some eyeshadows and bases do.
Go and get some! They are AMAZING!
Tips: Pat on with your finger and you're good to go! Store upside down to prevent them from drying out
