The Maybelline color tattoo 24 hour cream gel shadows are a cream shadow or eyeshadow base. That means you can use them alone on the lid as a long lasting smudge proof color or you can add powder shadows on top to help them look more intense and again stay on longer. I typically apply these on my lid with my finger tips. The darker shades as a cream liner with an angled brush.
I have collected quite a few over the past couple years and I was VERY excited when I heard they were coming out with smooth leather like neutral shadows that are more matte then the original. I love matte shadows for everyday and one that packs a punch like these cream shadows and lasts long can usually be a little pricer. These however at only $6-7 depending on what drugstore you find them at.
The original color tattoo line is mostly shimmers, and some mattes. The metal collection has all shimmers but are more pigmented in my experience. The leather line has all mattes and one shimmer.
Heres my collection!
From the core line is (from left to right) fierce and tangy (matte bright orange), shandy shores (irredencent white), Bold gold (shimmery gold), Bad to the bronze (shimmery chocolate brown), pomagrate punk (dark shimmery pink) and Audacious asphalt (shimmery silver grey)
From the Metal tattoo line I only have two, inked in pink (shimmery light pink) and barley branded (shimmery ivory) Both are great on the inner corners of the eyes to make them look more awake.
Last is the Leather line. I have all five of the colors which are (swatched from left to right,) creamy beige (matte nude), vintage plum (matte dusty purple) deep forest (matte medium brown), chocolate suede (shimmery dark chocolate brown), and dramatic black (matte midnight black).
If I had to recommend five of my favorites that I use the most often they would have to be fierce and tangy, bad to the bronze, inked in pink, creamy beige, and dramatic black.
Truth be told just go get all of the leather color tattoos they are so amazing! They are increadibly creamy and neutral I can see anyone using these!
Also who else is super pumped for the Real Housewives of New Jersey season premiere tonight! I love that Dina is back but not so sure about the new housewives just yet. The twins seem ditzy and the other one seems like she has a stick up her arse. haha Irregardless if I like them I know Im going to love the drama to ensue on this season!
