It seems like I'm reviewing every hyped up product of the year at the moment, and it continues with the Maybelline Colour Tattoo's. There have been so many good reviews about these, but I wanted to test the hype and see whether these MAC Paint Pot look-a-likes were really worth it.
The shades that I have are Permanent Taupe (#40 - A matte taupe with purple and gray undertones and less brown than it appears in the photos) and Eternal Gold (#05 - which is a true to life gold, not too warm and not too cool toned).
They come in almost identical packaging to the MAC Paint Pots and benefit creaseless shadows, and in terms of formula are also very similar. The consistency is hard to put your finger on, being somewhere between a cream and gel texture and they need to be applied pretty quickly as they dry quickly, and once they have, they will stay there all day with no creasing, which is amazing as I have quite oily eyelids. I'm not sure about the whole '24 hour claim' since I don't think I will ever be wearing makeup for that long, but they definitely do last a good 12 hours at least. I tend to use these blended out across the lid for a simple and easy look, but they would also be perfect as bases for a powder shadow on top, as it will ensure that the shadow lasts for ages or as liners.
These are definitely a game changer for me, and perfect for a quick everyday look!Have you ever tried these, what do you think of them?
