Makeup My Passion

Hi all !!

Today i will be reviewing the latest and hottest Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo in shade Edgy Emerald. I won this among other goodies in Divassence's Giveaway. I had always wanted to try MAC paint pots, but unfortunately last year when i was on my MAC shopping spree, the paint pot i wanted was out of stock, so i kind of lost hope that i'd ever try something like that. But fortunately, Maybelline came up with these amazing color tattoo's which are no doubt a better option if you want to try out something like mac paint pots. Read on to know more..

Price : INR 350/-

Quantity : 4gms

Claims :- 24hr intensity, cream gel smoothes on for vibrant color that does not fade.

The color tattoo is housed inside a heavy glass pot, with black cap that has the details on it. However there aren't much details mentioned, such as ingredients list, manufacturing/expiry date etc, which is like major concern !! The problem could have been solved if they packed this pot inside some cardboard carton that could bear the details required. On the other side, the pot is quite heavy, and since its made of glass i sometimes fear that if due to my clumsiness it falls, it might break. Not sure if it would survive any such accidents or not 

Coming back to the shade, its a beautiful toned down emerald color, has a frosty finish due to minimal shimmers in it. This serves a great base especially for color such as blue and green, and you can easily control the intensity by blending in more. The texture is creamy, and working with them is easy since they don't instantly set, but you get enough time to work, blend and it easily sets then, however it doesn't means that it leaves your lid wet or sticky. You can barely feel that you have applied anything on your lids, because it blends so easily without leaving any patchy feeling.

Maybelline has launched these tattoo's along with a brush, which is a good idea  since digging in fingers again and again in the pot isn't much hygienic. The brush is good for application purpose, though you still need to use either a blending brush or your fingers to blend it in to get a desired effect. They are superb in terms of staying power, i haven't tried them for straight 24hrs, but this thing will stay easily and survive more than 10hrs !! And even then it won't fade, you will have to use a makeup remover to get rid of it.

Here's a swatch of it, left is one swipe, and right one is blended swatch.

Did you get Maybelline Color tattoos ? Which are your favorite shades ???

Godbless !!
