Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eye Shadow

These are great to wear as an eyeshadow base or on their own - but I do still have to wear an eye primer under them; everything creases on me.
The colours barely branded and bad to the bronze are my favourites, they go on effortlessly and even. I've tried the taupe one as well, but wasn't as impressed with it - it's a lot thicker and doesn't apply as easily or evenly. Plus the colour isn't flattering on my warm skin tone, but that's just a personal thing.

For the most part, these are great products and I'm glad the drugstore now has this type of paint pot like product !

I absolutely love these cream shadows! They are far creamier then MAC paint pots, as well as they are far cheaper! I'm going to be buying waaaay more :D

I love these eyshadows! I have it in Too Cool which is a white, shimmery, pearl color. Too Cool is perfect for a base because it makes all the eyeshadows that you put on top of it really pop. I also like using it as a inner corner and browbone highlight. Its quick, easy, and it stays all day!. I can't wait to try more colors!

This was exactly what I was looking for. Wanted a makeup that would stay during a mermaid shoot for my customers. Needed it to stay on, have a glitter or metallic sheen it and this was perfect. Went on smooth, vibrant colours and lasted . I am so happy to have found this product.

Ok, as for wearing it daily.. it is a bit to crazy bright for me, but for portraits in studio.. AWESOME.

Normally I don't like spending more than, say, $5 for a single shade of eyeshadow. But I'd been eyeing the Color Tattoo shades from Maybelline for some time and I decided to bite and try it. Normally I'm not a fan of creme eyeshadows because I find they're messy and less vibrant than their powder counterparts, but the one I got was the lovely shade of smoky grey I had been looking for. Worth a try, right?

Honestly, for the price, I wasn't tremendously impressed. I was definitely glad to see that this stuff actually dries at some point (whereas other creme eyeshadows I've tried stayed moist and just made a mess). However, this wasn't nearly as bold as you are led to think. The small ad near the Color Tattoo vials in CVS shows a lady with gorgeous, vibrant orange eyeshadow. What I got out of mine after layering it on rather thick was a far more subtle effect.

Not sure what I expected since I've tried Maybelline eyeshadow compacts in the past and they went on pretty lightly (even the blackest of black eyeshadows). Why I felt this one would be any different is a mystery. I don't know if it genuinely lasts for 24 hours, but it does seem to last a decent amount of time without smudging or doing that thing where all the color collects in your eyelid crease and the rest of your eyelid is bare.

Overall? Not bad. I would not buy it again, personally. I would say if you're going to get it, go to CVS. These folks will allow you to return any cosmetics you're not satisfied with, so if you find that this stuff is crap, you can get your money back. By no means is this stuff the worst I've tried (that honor goes to Aziza creme eyeshadow palettes), but for how much Maybelline boasts about this stuff (24-hour wear, tinted with ink, tenacity of a tattoo with the intensity of ink, etc.), I expected something better. Or at least something a little closer to the solid colors seen in the ad.

I intend to keep my vial of Audacious Asphalt because I think it still produces a nice smoky effect.

I recently purchased this product at Walmart, for about $7.00 or so.

I was really impressed with the wide variety of colours available. Some were bold, others were more shimmery.. I loved them all. I also loved the heavy glass container the shadow comes in. Great choice!

I finally decided on "Bad To Bronze" which was gorgeous. I couldn't wait to get it home, and test it out.

I was extremely impressed at how well this product applied. It went on smooth, and covered very well. The colour was gorgeous, and had a beautiful shimmer. It looked amazing! I put it on in the late morning, and it was still looking great by the early evening. I was so happy! It's nice to finally find a long lasting cream shadow. But, I did notice that it does start to crease.. Not really impressed with that aspect of the product..

Overall, I like this product. I'd definitely purchase it again!

There are a few colors to choose from but my favourites are pomegranate Punk and Tough as Taupe, they are very easy to blend, I have not experienced creasing with them and the color pay off is amazing.

I was stoked to try this stuff. Looked forward to something that stayed on all day.....

I tried it with and without primer and all I got was crepey looking eyelids :(. The colour was not as intense as i was hoping for either. I will continue to buy powder base instead
