Maybelline Color Tattoo

For a long time now, I have had an obsession with these cream eye shadows, and I thought I would share my love with the world. Unfortunately, I haven't bought all the colours yet, as when I was buying them, I wanted colours that I knew that I would wear more often. I am currently missing: Painted Purple, Tough as Taupe and Edgy Emerald...and all the ones only available in America, such as: Fierce and Tangy and Pomegranate Punk. And also their Summer Limited Edition, which I so badly wanted (still want).

These cream shadows are amazing. They are easy to work with and are insanely pigmented. Great for on-the-go looks. They are easy to apply, and don't leave much of a mess. The pot also feels very sturdy. Like if you threw it at the wall in sheer frustration of your make up not doing what you want, I'm sure it will leave a dent in your wall... In Australia, you can pick them up at most chemists for $11.95. I usually like to wait when they have their sales, especially at Chemist Warehouse, when they have their 50% off cosmetics.

 When I apply these, I like to use my fingers: middle and ring for the whole lid, and pinky for just the outer corners. You can layer it to make is as sheer or as solid as you like.

My go-to colour is Bad to the Bronze. I use it for casual days out. It doesn't look too dressy, but it does add some sparkle to your eyes. I also like to use Bad to the Bronze or Barely Branded as a base for when I use powdered eye shadow. It helps it stay longer, which is great for those who plan to have a long day/night out.
