I had been searching high and low for this collection before I finally found it in a CVS in the city here. As a huge fan of the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow, I was really happy that they decided to release a new collection that contained some different shades from their permanent line. By the time I had gotten to the display, one of the shades I wanted was completely sold out, so for now I snagged Gold Rush and Inked In Pink, both universally flattering shades that work well with a variety of makeup looks. Inside, I’ve got swatches, as well as some pictures of what they look like on my eye!
My collection of Maybelline Color Tattoo’s shouldn’t surprise you too much, given that I adore this product so much. This is hands down one of the top drugstore products that I recommend to people. Even though the eyeshadow is a cream, it goes on and stays put, without creasing or smearing for many hours. As someone with oily skin, I was definitely skeptical when these first came out, but they deliver all they say and more. They’re also perfect for the on-the-go person who doesn’t have a lot of time to spend on makeup.
My eyelid had a dry patch toward the inner corner, which you can see in the high-definition photo above. Shimmer and glitter eyeshadow can really emphasize any flaws on your eyelids, whether that be dry spots or lines. In person, though, you can barely notice that the eyeshadow looked a little patchy in this area. You can thank high definition photography for catching this one!
This one is totally magnificent on the eyelid and doesn’t have too much shimmer in it that it highlights imperfections.
Overall: Both shades will wear on your eyes for a minimum of eight hours with very little to no wear or creasing. The Metal Collection allows you to choose from some new shades that were otherwise not in the permanent collection. I love that a few of the shades in this collection are also universally flattering and wearable with a large variety of looks, making them perfect for everyday or dressing up. I’m still hoping to spot “Barely Branded,” which is a pale, sparkling champagne shade that I really wanted and was sold out. These are really the ideal eyeshadow solution for those who are really busy and need a fast eyeshadow solution, or those on-the-go. You can even use your finger to pat the color on!
