Maybelline Eye Studio Colour Tattoo Review

I picked this up the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in the shade 'Barely Branded' a while ago after hearing it could multi-task as both eyeshadow and highlighter - and it doesn't disappoint! This is certainly one of the best 'drugstore' cream eyeshadows I've ever tried.

This comes in a small round glass pot, making it a good choice for travelling if you're scared of breaking traditional pressed eyeshadow. I chose the shade 'Barely Branded', which is a gorgeous light champagne gold shade. I purchased it from Farmers, but you can find these in supermarkets and at The Warehouse for a bit cheaper. These are really easy to apply - just dip a finger or brush into the pot, and apply onto your eyelids/face and they will set to stay all day after a few minutes - in fact, I sometimes find this hard to remove. I use mine as both a cream eyeshadow and light natural highlight - perfect for summer as it stays through all the heat! The only problem I could see with these is that some of the darker shades might be hard to blend out, so you would need to work quickly.

Overall I'd say these are definitely worth a try, they are easily found here in NZ and there are loads of gorgeous and pigmented shades to choose from. I'll definitely be picking up a few more of these, it's a recommend from me!

I love my colour tattoo eyeshadow and I really don't use them as much as I should!!

The eyeshadows are really pigmented and have great colour payoff on the eye. My favourite is 'barely branded'.the shimmer is really nice without being too overpowering. They also blend really well with powder eyeshadows.

They come in a nice glass pot which is study and quite big. There's a lot of product so it will last you a long time. I usually apply it with a small shadow brush or my fingers. Both seem to work and have good colour/shimmer payoff. The eyeshadows stay on my eye all day (I use an eyeshadow primer).

Good product! Would certainly recommend!

I have this eye colour in blackest black and its amazing for creating smoky eyes and as a base for other looks. I even use it as eye liner, very easy to apply with finger tips. Its gel like consistency makes for easy application. The color is definitely long lasting and vibrant and super versatile for creating intriguing looks.

This is one of my go to "quick make up look" staples as it is exactly that. I use a flat eye brush to pick up the product and add to the centre of my lids then buff it out and blend with a fluffy eye brush and my eyes are done. This super creamy light textured cream shadow is an absolute dream to use. I have it in 6 colours and i use all of them! They are super affordable. Packaging is strong so easy to trust in your make up bag. Comes with a alot of product and i doubt il ever finish one. Huge colour selection. Product stays and lasts all day/night. Very pigmented. Highly recommend!

Love these cute wee pottles of eyeshadow. Easy to apply, the pigment is good. No fall out and long lasting.
