Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo Eyeshadows

Price: £4.99
Available in 7 shades from Superdrug and Boots

The 'Blogger Buzz' around the Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow's was HUGE! I can't count the amounts of reviews I've seen on these, which is why I've left it so long to put up a blog post on these. Although there are 7 shades available on the Boots website I could only get my hands on two, 'On and On Bronze - 35' and 'Eternal Gold - 05'.
My favourite of the two by far is 'On and On Bronze' as it makes a great base to build on, or to wear alone. 'Eternal Gold' is undeniably eye catching and very pretty but quite bright and unflattering on my skin tone so I have to add in some deep browns and darker golds to get it to work for me.
These look quite solid and dry in the pot but once you swirl your finger in the product it turns in to a light, creamy consistency making it easy to apply and blend. They're really great quality, they stay put, have amazing pigmentation, they're priced well and come nicely packaged. I'd definitely say they were a great alternative to Mac Paint Pots if you don't have a lot of cash to spend. The only downside for me is the lack of neutral colours, I'd love to see a subtle champagne shade, 'Painterly' dupe and a matte black.

  1. Ooohhh! I LOVE LOVE these =] It seems that the names differ slightly than the ones in North America, and so does the packaging! I almost thought these were the L'Oreal ones =]

  2. Ahh I wish they had these in Malta! They sound really great, I'd love them for a wash of colour ove the eye for the day time and as a base for a more dramatic evening look xx

  11. I have on and on bronze too, definitely my favourite out of the lot! I really agree about them needing neutral ones, who wants bright blue or purple on every day?! Izzy - http://bellabellebeauty.blogspot.co.uk/ x
