No budge but you can smudge: Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadow

• Eyes, Maybelline, Review, Reviews
There have been so many "surprisinly amazing" products appearing at the drugstore lately: Revlon came out with Colorburst Lip Butter, L'Oreal with their Infaillible, and Maybelline with their Color Tattoo. I'm going to review all of them, but today, we'll start from Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadow!
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadows Clockwise from top left: Pomegranate Punk, Bold Gold, Audacious Asphalt, Bad to the Bronze |
At a reasonable price of CA $6.96 at Walmart (prices might vary), I bought 4 of the neutral/more wearable ones. I got 15 Audacious Asphalt, 25 Bad to the Bronze, 30 Pomegranate Punk, and 45 Bold Gold. (And of course they had to have a sale after I bought them.... Why does this always happen to me?)

The packaging of this product is like MAC PaintPot but with a plastic round flat top and a glass pot. Or maybe like a cheap/less sturdy/lighter version the Chanel Illusion D'ombre pot (just the packaging, NOT the product).
When I first saw the display in store, I was disappointed with the tester after I tested it on my hand. They seemed way too creamy to stay put. I don't know what got to me that I think I should try it again, but I'm glad I did. I first purchased the Bad to Bronze and Bold Gold. And before I even photographed it, I tried out Bad to Bronze. Since it has such amazing colour on the eye, I went back and got some other colours.
- Bad to Bronze is a gorgeous bronze colour with slight shimmer and a metallic finish. I could tell that I am going to wear this a lot, especially in the Summer! (my favorite out of them all) I like pairing it with a shimmery beige colour on top. The two colours look amazing together!

For the pigmentation and colour, you can see by my swatch fingers, they are pretty pigmented. The colours I picked are obviously the colours I like, so all I can say is that I like them!? LOL. Here's these shadow swatched on my hand without primers:

All in all, based on my experience, I am really impressed by these shadows. The price point is very reasonable and quite affordable for a lot of people. I would like to see more colours coming out, say, black, beige, shimmery white, navy blue, etc... So if anyone from Maybelline is reading this, please convince people in charge to make more colours! If there were all these colours, and maybe some other colours as well, I'll ditch other high-end cream shadows. And FYI, my favourite one among these four is definitely Bad to the Bronze!
Have you tried these Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Eyeshadow yet? Would you recommend any other colours? Is there other drugstore cream shadow that is worth checking out? Let me know!
Hope you all have a great one!

Gorgeous pictures! I usually stay far away from cream shadows, they always crease - even the MUFE ones. But I'm so tempted to try from all the amazing reviews including yours!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try these!! and to get more of the L'oreal
ReplyDeleteInfaillible shadows! :D Gonna hit up a walmart tomorrow!
I have oily lids, like super oily lids, but they works for me. But I ALWAYS use a primer, you know, just in case ;). Oops, forgot to say I like to set it with eyeshadows too...

Not to be mean, but you just missed an amazing sale at walmart! $6.99 ea for L'Oreal Infaillible! But Walmart is not bad, about $8!?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I can totally see you rock the other bright colours in this range lol

I can't find pomegranate punk anywhere in my town! I want it so bad!
ReplyDeleteI think you can order online. But I don't live in the states, so I don't know what your best option is. =(

Thanks! I have only really heard goo things about them, too. I hope you can get your hands on them soon =). But apparently these are LE... C'mon Maybelline! Make it permanent lol. You might want to act quick =P

I really want to try these out but these colours are not wearable enough for me for everyday (I usually wear super minimal eyeshadow)
ReplyDeleteI find that this is great for "minimalistic" makeup, one swipe and you're good to go, well you still have to blend lol. I think Bold Gold or Bad to the Bronze are great natural colours from this range if you want to try them out =). They're not as scary for sure!
