Recently, I went out to boots and bought 3 of the Maybelline 24 hour color tattoos, and my first impressions of them were really good. They are super easy to apply, I used to use them just on their own as they were so silky, but now I use them as bases for my eye-shadow.
I have heard they are comparable to the mac paint pots, and great dupes for the 'Giorgio Armani Eyes to kill eye-shadows' but I wouldn't know as I have never owed either of those products. The shade 'On and on Bronze' is great to create a really strong smokey eye, as they are build-able 'Pink Gold' is great to throw on as a quick casual daily look, aswell as 'Eternal Gold'.
Out of the 3 shades I got, I definitely noticed a difference with the consistency and quality of the shadows. 'On and on Bronze and Pink Gold' are alot more creamy and easy to blend and apply. However, Eternal gold is alot more sticky and not very blend-able.
Also, I noticed a difference between the pigmentation of all 3 eye-shadows. 'On and on Bronze' is extremely pigmented and very glittery and metallic. Great for creating a dark, smokey eye. 'Pink Gold' is very metallic and pigmented but not so much glittery. 'Eternal Gold' is less pigmented, glittery and not metallic.
I know that they sell alot of different shades now!
Here are some swatches of the eye shadows!
Starting from the left, the shades are 'On and on bronze', 'Eternal Gold' and 'Pink Gold'.
I was surprised at how cheap they were compared to how good they are! At my local boots they cost £4.99, but at the time boots were doing their '3 for 2' offer, so I got 3 for basically £10.
Overall, the packaging is really professional as they're glass pots, but I hate that they put the bar code on the front! I think the overall look of the product would of been much nicer if they had put it on the back!
With a good eye primer and eye-shadow over the top, these eye-shadows should stay on all throughout the day without creasing!
Over all these are really really good eye-shadows and I don't regret buying them.
Thankyou x
