Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Shadows

February 08, 2013


Happy Friday everyone!

Who else is so happy this week is over?! I'm sure most of you screamed out "ME!" ;)

Well, today I'm going to post about some awesome cream shadows. I know they're not new anymore and I've had these for a while myself, but just haven't come around to blogging about them. So here they are: the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Gel Shadows! (I think the name could be a little longer, no?)



These are the 5 shades which I own. I originally read about the "Bad to the Bronze" shade on some blogs and went out to buy it and ended up picking up a few additional shades in the following days.


This is the first shadow in the line-up photo above. It's the shade 05 "Eternal Gold". It may be the same shade as "Bold Gold" in the USA - I've noticed that all the names are different for Europe. I don't know what sense that makes, but ya know, let's leave that alone. I initially thought this shade may be too yellow-toned, but it has a really nice gold shimmer on the eyelids. I wouldn't wear this shade alone, I like mixing it with some bronze or brown powder eyeshadows.


The shade 65 "Pink Gold" is a really pretty, pink shimmery shadow. I find it has more pink in it than gold. I unfortunately can't find an equivalent on the American Maybelline website. Like "Eternal Gold", I like blending this shade with other eye shadows. I find it's too light for my skin tone. But the great thing is, these cream shadows blend wonderfully. Easy application and are blendable - what else do you need?


This is honestly the only shade I haven't worn yet. It's the shade 40 "Permanent Taupe". I think the American equivalent is "Tough as Taupe". It's a great matte, taupe/grey shade. I really like it - I just need to find a good powder eye shadow shade to match.


And now, on to my absolute favorite! Shade 35 "On and on Bronze" - goooorgeous! I believe the equivalent is "Bad to the Bronze". It's a beautiful bronzy shade and is totally wearable on its own, with a darker powder shadow in the crease or blended all together with a second shade. It's just perfect for everyday or you can easily spice it up for a night out. I love it and it works so nicely with my skin tone. Definitely worth trying out if you'd like a natural cream shadow.


The fifth shade I own is 55 "Immortal Charcoal". I believe you could compare it to "Audacious Asphalt". This is a great shade to use in a makeup look for a night out. You can build a great smokey eye look using this a your base.


All in all:
These shadows are long-lasting, have intense color and DON'T CREASE! Amazing products and they're safe for sensitive eyes and contact wearers.


I'd love to try out some eye looks with these shades. Would you guys like to see them?? Leave a comment below :)
