I really love using cream shadows under my powder ones, it makes the eyeshadow last longer as it has something to stick to. I picked up my first Maybelline Colour Tattoo's quite a while ago when they originally came out, I bought the shades "on and on bronze" (left) and "permanent taupe." (center) I use on and on bronze the most, whenever I do a brown smokey eye I put this on underneath and then eyeshadow over the top, this is probably my favourite out of the three as I wear this one a lot! I don't wear permanent taupe as much as I wear the first one but it is still really nice! It's also quite nice to try one that isn't shimmery! The one I bought most recently is "eternal gold" I will be honest and say that I haven't actually worn this one yet, it's just VERY gold and VERY shimmery so I haven't found an occasion to really wear it!
The staying power is great, they last all day and I haven't noticed any creasing! I would love to try the other shades although I don't think I would get much use out of the bright purple and blue! I think it would be great if they brought out more shades! I can't compare these to the Mac paint pots as I have never tried them! However I have tried the Benefit creaseless cream shadows, I find that the Benefit ones are a lot smoother in consistency and do feel more expensive if that makes sense! I do prefer the Benefit ones but if you are on a tighter budget I would really recommend these!
Have you tried the Maybelline colour tattoo's?
I use on and on broze all the time i think these are such great value for money. but i agree i dont think id really use the purple and blue! x

I really like the formula of them, I'd love them to come out with way more colours though! xx
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE these eyeshadows! My favorite is the bronze, too :-)
ReplyDeleteI love on and on bronze, I think it really suits blue eyes. I've been thinking of picking up the gold too and the coloured ones would make good eyeliners x
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at these but haven't splashed out on any (yet). However, I may just save up for the Benefit ones if they're better as I hate when you buy a product and then it just sits in your makeup bag forever as its such a waste. Decisions, decisions lol.
