Review, Swatch, FOTD - Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr Cream Gel Eyeshadow

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Audacious Asphalt

Spring 2012 is probably the best time to venture into drugstore makeup if you haven't already.
There are so many interesting products of excellent quality practically lined up!
Starting with Revlon Lip butter, we have L'Oreal Infallible eyeshadows and now Maybelline is adding more heat to the competition.



I wasn't going to buy any of this new Color Tattoo eyeshadows from Maybelline (because I have already gotten many Infallibles), but this shimmery gunmetal shade called Audacious Asphalt is just what I was looking for and I was basically helpless after reading all those glowing reviews :)

In short, this is a great cream to powder eyeshadow with excellent staying power.
Supposedly it is a nice alternative of Make Up For Ever Aqua cream, but I wouldn't know for sure since I haven't tried the MUF.
Everyone is raving about this color tattoo shadows' longevity, but to be honest, I don't think this lasts for 24 hours.
When I used this without eyeshadow primer, the color faded away after 3 hrs just leaving sheer tint of color. However, it didn't crease nor was it collected much in my eye folds, which is interesting.
With nice primer, it lasts for very long time and the color appears more vibrant.

Audacious Asphalt is very shimmery and quite dark cool-toned grey that is intense enough to be a stand-alone shadow.
This is actually what I wanted my L'Oreal Infallible Sultry Smoke to look like, so I am very happy with the color. ;)

(I am also wearing Maybelline Eye Studio Gel liner in Sapphire here. This is nothing special except the brush comes with it is nice. It doesn't last on my lower waterlines. I'd recommend Wet 'n' Wild gel liner instead.)

  9. You look so pretty! I'm excited to try the new drugstore products that came out in stores. I just need to get my hands on them first. The Maybelline tattoo looks amazing! I'm so glad to hear it doesn't crease. <3

  11. Aww Lena you're so cute in these photos! I've heard so many good things about these too, but I haven't seen them here in Belgium and I don't know if I ever will! This color kind of reminds me of Urban Decay Gunmetal, though it's a color that I don't love enough because I don't have enough cool-toned colors to go with it!

    ReplyDelete
  12. teehee thank you, Sunny. ;D
    i am sure you will see them soon in Belgium. they are new even here so they are not even placed in the permanent display, yet. ;)
    i guess you prefer warmer toned colors? i envy you. usually luxurious warmer colors look terrible on me. T..T

  13. thanks, Aki ^-^
    i like the purplish blue color of the liner, too.
    just wish it lasted on my waterline..

    ReplyDelete
  14. thank you! ^-------^;
    i kinda expected it to crease since i've never used any cream type that doesn't, so i was pretty excited to see it just faded away. when i paired it with my too faced shadow insurance, it is so much better.
    hope you like them, too! :)

  15. hi Suzie, thanks for stopping by and adding me to your list. ;)
    now i am more into simple things, this cream gel eyeshadow is pretty nice. all i need is finger to blend it out. :)

    (i followed your blog as well. have a nice weekend! ^-^)

    ReplyDelete
  16. oh i saw them and they look gorgeous! especially the teal color!
    purple looked nice, too but i held myself telling me "you have too many purples, lena!" lolz
    i hoped maybelline liner would last on my waterlines since many rave about it, but sadly it didn't..
    wet 'n' wild is pretty close and much more affordable. :)

  17. lol lol thank you, Kim!
    you are so very sweet (and your blog is named perfectly!!) :D

    i know what you mean. reading other bloggers posts about new products makes me go downstairs all the time. i have a drugstore right down in the same building. sometimes i don't know if it is a good thing. *sigh*

    have a wonderful weekend!

  18. you are right! i 've seen some comparison with these two. :)
    do you own any benefit one? how do you like it?

    ReplyDelete
  19. thanks, Chloe.
    i would think so. it took lots of self-control(??!) for me to just grab one. lolz
    besides this color that i bought, teal and purple looked most apealing to me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. thank you, Bee.
    it lasts pretty nicely once applied over some primer. i am pretty happy about this. :)

    have a nice weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  21. and i am mad at maybelline for giving you FIT ME foundation with pumps! lol lol
    i am sure this will show up there soon.
    thank you for the compliment! :D

    I've definitely been more interested in drugstore brands as of late, I use to not go near L'Oreal or Maybelline. Thanks for your reviews!

    It's lovely on you! I think a quick smudge of this thing onto the lids and some darker eyeliner will do the trick to an effortless yet looking fab FOTD! :D

    It must be awesome :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. you are right!
    sometimes early in the morning i simply have no time to work with multiple eyeshadow colors. also this would be nice to carry around for quick touch-up. :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. thank you, Stacey :)
    i broke out the new lighting set. i am still trying to figure how to work it. ;p
    i am just like you. i have disliked maybelline and l'oreal for a long time except for a few things. i thought they are expesive compared to other drugstore brands but the qulity is just okay, you know? i wouldn't mind it any more if they keep bringing goodies like this! :)
