Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo Cream Eyeshadows Review and Swatches

Hey guys!

Maybelline has launched a line of cream eyeshadows a few months ago and have quickly become very popular in the beauty community. These shadows are compared by a lot of people to MAC Paint Pots, I have never owned a MAC paint pot so I won't be able to do a comparison.

Company Description: Dare to wear 24HR shadow.

       • Ink technology creates 24HR wear shadow for our most intense, long-lasting color saturation 

 • Cream formula glides on without creasing and keeps color vibrant

• Ophthalmologist-tested.  Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Packaging: The colour tattoo is housed in a heavy glass jar, just like a MAC paint pot so it doesn't feel cheap and shouldn't dry up fast. 

Maybelline has marketed these shadows to last for 24 hours but honestly I don't know anyone who would want their makeup to stay for that long. But I can say that these shadows do last for a quite some time.

Bad to the Bronze is beautiful bronze with a metallic and shimmer finish

Bold Gold is sheer shimmery gold that is not quite as opaque as the other shades but is buildable

Pomegranate Punk is a darkened burgundy with a shimmery finish

Tough as Taupe is gray that is mauve-y tinted with a matte finish

All the eyeshadows have excellent pigmentation and colour payoff which can be used alone, as a base or an eyeliner. The consistency of these shadows are very creamy and smooth that will glide on your lids without a hassle. Another good thing about these shadows is that you can just use your fingertip to apply. 

Price: $7.99 - $9.99 CAD
