Maybelline 24hr Colour Tattoo


Why it took me ages to finally try to the Maybelline Colour Tattoo Eye shadows is beyond me. Well actually no that’s a little bit of a fib, what actually happened me was I tried them when they first came out and everyone was raving about them and I just really didn't get along very well with them, but once I saw that the reviews of the product just kept coming and I didn't read any bad reviews I felt I should give them another go and I did. How could they be so awesome, yet stayed in my “I don't use” makeup bag without me feeling the urge to try them out again despite ALL THE RAVING on the internet about them is beyond me, I really regret not getting them out again sooner.

Seriously, when these babies came into the market, everyone from beauty professionals to girls with the slightest interest in makeup were talking about how these cream eyeshadows work like magic and were the high street dupe to the MAC Paint Pots “which I must admit are one of my favourite MAC products” they stayed on for hours, were creamy, blended and extremely pigmented.Let me tell you. All the hype is true.

Staying true to my nature of being attracted to nude/brown colours, I chose 4 of the neutral colours out of the shades available, on and on Bronze, Pink Gold, Eternal Gold and Metallic Pomegranate. And I love them all equally.


I love that you can quickly see the shade without having to open each of the pots, by just turning it over and looking at the bottom. Like most products it also has the colour name on the lid although, it can be quite a challenge to find the name among all the tiny writing.

The glass container  makes the whole thing a little heavy so it isn't ideal to bring it traveling with me which is a little annoying but if I know I want to use some I just depot it into a little plastic lip balm container (You can find these in Boots or Superdrug).

What they say is true. It’s hard not to fall in love with these Maybelline Colour Tattoos for their texture and pigmentation. Getting to the level of intensity you desire is really easy too. Sometimes I'll go with just one layer for a simple touch of colour or if I'm feeling particularly lazy with my eye makeup; sometimes I’ll build up to four, five layers to get a really concentrated coat or Ill blend them with my powder eye shadows for a gorgeous smoky finish.


Once you get them on, and let them stay on for a few seconds, they won't budge ever. So you've got the ‘long-wearing’ part ticked on your list and it means that you don't need to worry about touching up your eye makeup throughout the day (or night) which is always a bonus.

I really do love the colour tattoos, in saying that they will never replace my MAC Paint Pots but they are definitely a brilliant alternative and a great addition to my make-up collection.

Have you tried the Maybelline Colour Tattoos, any colours you think I should try?

  6. I love the colour tattoos and have nearly every shade apart from the matte ones, which I havent managed to get my hands on as of yet. My favourite one is the bronze one and find myself reaching for it for nearly every look.
