The 24 hour Maybelline colour tattoos are absolutely fantastic! I don't know where to begin. First of all let me start by telling you a bit about them if you haven't heard of them before. They are basically cream/gel eyeshadows or eye shadow bases (however you prefer to use them). They are very similar to the Mac paint pots, in the sense that they both do more or less the same thing! Both can be used as a base for eyeshadows (the actual eyeshadow colour will therefore become even more pigmented as it has something to stick to) or they can just be simply used to add a wash of colour to the lids! (this is more for us lazy makeup lovers) They are however much cheaper than the Mac paint pots (which are a whopping £15) in comparison to these which are at the price of just £4.99 (which in my opinion is a very reasonable price for a drugstore product of this quality!) They come in a range of colours (of about 6-7) but there are only three that make my must have list!
And they are these:
1) 53 in On and on Bronze is a shimmery metallic light golden brown, which is soft yet build-able. It is lovely on its own all over the lid for a natural eye makeup look. For something a little more dramatic I pair it up with Bare study by Mac. I put Bare study (which is a shimmery light pinky nude colour) all over my eyelid and then add some On and on Bronze in on the crease, as a contour for the corner of my eyelid. And bobs your teapot! It is also a great dupe for Mac's Indianwood!
2) 70 in Metallic Pomegranate is gorgeous! It is such a beautiful colour I fell in love as soon as I set my eyes on it. Again metallic and rich, this deep red/burgundy tone is definitely more for those special nights! Pack on an even deeper burgundy colour on top, with a slight smokey eye to go with it, you are ready to go!
3) 20 in Turquoise Forever is no doubt a controversial one! You'll either love it or hate it! A bit like marmite! It is a bright metallic blue, which I believe is truly amazing for those summer nights, or days! A pop of colour will forever be in fashion no matter what. Even if you don't feel as if you could wear this all over the lid, give it a go under your waterline. A brown smokey eye with that would look awesome!
And here are their swatches!
Colour tattoos, paint pots, eye shadow bases/primers whatever you want to call them, they are indeed staples! How can they not be! I mean they are quick and easy and you get no drop downs like you'd normally get from eyeshadows, what more could you ask for?! They are so rich in colour, yet so creamy and shimmery at the same time. I've heard they don't crease (but unfortunately I can't agree with this statement, but this might be because I have quite oily eyelids (or just in general a pretty oily face!) however this doesn't stop me from wearing them (especially on and on bronze, which is included in my daily eye makeup routine!) Don't get me wrong though, they don't crease instantly, but I've realised after 4 hours and onwards, they don't look too pretty, but hey! 4 hours is still a long time (So I make sure it is between these hours I take pictures haha)
Let me know what your maybelline must haves are!
Stay safe, stay lovely
