Eyeshadow can often take ages. Sometimes when I'm doing my makeup, it takes me the longest because of all the different colours to choose from and all the blending (blending is key!). However, I have days where I don't have enough time to do my eyeshadow or I can't be bothered and want something simple. When this occurs, I reach for my Maybelline Colour Tattoos.
Aren't they so pretty? The colour tattoos are pots of cream eyeshadows. The range is huge, and are affordable too (£4.99 each but often on a 3 for 2 deal). I find the packaging to be sleek, and well suited for the product itself. The consistency of these cream eyeshadows are creamy and blend so smoothly, as well as majorly pigmented! Also, they're apparently dupes for Mac paintpots, and are a fraction of the price.
My personal preference for eyeshadow is usually golds, browns or bronze, so the three I own are along those lines. The top left shade is from the original collection, and the other two are from the leather effect collection. Unlike with cream products, I haven't found that these dry out, which is a bonus.
Creamy Beige was the first of the leather effect collection that I tried. I instantly loved the colour when I originally saw it on Instagram, so knew I had to go out and buy it for myself. As you can see, I'm a big fan of this product - it's gorgeous! If I'm wanting a light base for my eyeshadow to go on top or just for a wash of colour, I tend to reach for this as I adore the colour.
On and On Bronze ("Bad To The Bronze" in America) was the first colour tattoo I bought. It goes with almost every look and always looks flawless. Paired with winged liner, this is my favourite look to wear at the moment! All I do is sweep some on with my finger and blend out any harsh lines with a blending brush, so easy!
Chocolate Suede is the last of the three I have. It's a deep, dark, chocolate brown colour with a hint of glitter through it. This colour makes me think of chocolate and feel as though that's how they created it and the name. It's ideal for darker and smokier looks, although, it can be toned down if required.
With one sweep across the lid, these are potentially the easiest yet greatest cream eyeshadows you will find in the drugstore!
Do you own any of the Maybelline Colour Tattoos? Aren't they just so easy to use?
Lovely post:) I own 4 of the Maybelline colour tattoos, On and On Bronze, Permanant Taupe, Eternal Gold and Pink Gold ( very similar to ByTerry Ombre Blackstar) I really like these however I do prefer Mac paint pots because I find them to crease less on my eyelids:) thanks for sharing lovely xxx

Thank you! I've meant to pick up Pink Gold for ages now xx
DeleteI love On and On Bronze! Such a pretty colour! I have Creamy Beige too but I never really got on with it, I find it a little too warm toned on me! Need to check out Chocolate Suede!

I love it for a base with other browns! Aw that sucks! x
DeleteKjempe fint innlegg :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
DeleteI love the Color Tattoos! I agree, they are super easy to use! Plus, they are super affordable!
ReplyDeletexx, A Little Dose of Makeup
Being affordable is the best thing about them! x
DeleteThe Colour Tattoos are for sure my favourite drugstore eyeshadows. They're so pigmented and long lasting! I tend to wear them just on their own if I'm having a bit of a slow day and can't be bothered blending about 4 different colours on my eyelid xx
ReplyDeleteKathryn | Chapters of Kat ❤
I haven't came across any other cream eyeshadows from the drugstore which I like! They last so long! x
DeleteThese are by far the one easiest eye shadows to use. So handy when you don't have time to do your eyeshadow but still want to wear something on your eyes x
ReplyDeletelipstickandmascaras.blogspot.co.uk
They take literally a minute to blend on your eyelid! x
DeleteI'm terrible at eye make-up so I've got quite a few of these - so fab! x
ReplyDeleteViva Epernay
I feel they're ideal for starting out with eyeshadow! x
DeleteI have one of these but I find it can't hard to use and don't like the colour so don't find myself reaching for it that often! Great post though lovely x

Aw that's annoying! Thank you x
DeleteI think I own about 8 or 9, maybe even more of these! I just love them! I wanna try the pomegranate one next though!

ReplyDeleteAnnie | DrugstoreDreamer
I adore maybelline, these are possibly some of their best products! x
DeleteI love these. I have 3. One in creamy beige, one in tough as taupe, and I also have the black one (not sure what the shade name is). Until today, I hadn't used these for awhile. I'm trying to use more of what's in my stash as I usually gravitate towards the same items. I really love these, so good for when you are in a hurry. Plus you get a ton in the containers.
ReplyDeleteSarah's Abode -xx
They always end up in my makeup rotation! x
DeleteYou know, I have never tried these before! I know everyone loves and raves about them and I always think I should get some - but then never do! lol I can never end up deciding which color to get. But they all look so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAh you need to invest in them, they're inexpensive! The colours are gorgeous x
DeleteI havent used these before but I am just getting into wearing eye shadow so I really need to try them out! The colours look amazing too xx
ReplyDeleteLauren | shynature.blogspot.co.uk

DeleteThis tattoos are lovely. Chocolate Suede is my favorite out of these <3
ReplyDeleteCurious and confused me
It's a lovely, dark brown! x
DeleteI also use these colour tattoos when I'm feeling lazy, they're so easy to use an all over lid colour and so far I am loving ALL of their shades! x

Ah if you haven't already, grab some! Thank you! x
DeleteThese are amazing I love them so much x
ReplyDeleteMe also! x
DeleteI own a lot of them and like them a lot. I wish they would bring back the pink/beige LE Tattoo that came out a couple of years ago. It was my favorite everyday shadow and it made a great base. Unfortunately, it dried out and I had to toss it.
ReplyDeleteI want to try more! Oh I don't remember that one, but I hate that, especially with limited edition products! x
DeleteI love these! So easy to use and so creamy
ReplyDeleteIncredibly creamy! x
DeleteI'm always pretty lazy to apply eye shadow too these days. I used to use those Maybelline Tattoo shadows daily though!
ReplyDeleteThese are ideal for that exact reason! x
DeleteMaybelline Color Tattoos are the PERFECT lazy day eyeshadow! My only complaint is that they dry out relatively quickly (compared to other cream shadows). I hear they're coming out with crayon versions of these, so I'm excited about that!
ReplyDeleteExactly! They do dry out which is a slight downer but nevertheless! Ohh I never knew this, this is exciting news! x
DeleteOh yes, I love these! I have quite a selection of these because they are that amazing. I need to go out and pick up the colors you shared though. Thanks for sharing xo
ReplyDeleteI only have these three but there's a few shades which I have my eye on! x
DeleteI have hared so many things about these eye shadows, they sound really good.
ReplyDeleteGlamupGirls
They live up to the reviews! x
DeleteI have heard so many lovely things about them, Jassy :) And now this great review of yours. Sometimes I have no patience for eye shadows (and blending) - I am still learning my way around eye makeup but these sound great. Will pick up a few next time I am at Boots ;) Thanks for a recommendation, girlie.

Ah thank you! If, like you said, are fairly new to eyeshadow, then you NEED to give these a go - it will make your makeup 100 times easier! I believe they're currently on a deal in boots! x
DeleteI've only used one Colour Tattoo eyeshadow and sadly it was in a colour I didn't love so I barely used it. The Creamy Beige shade is so pretty though! Such a great shade for a base or all-over.
ReplyDeleteThat's gutting! It most certainly is x
DeleteI absolutely love the Color Tattoos. They are so beautiful and I have two shades in this post. I must check out the Chocolate Suede shade. Thanks for sharing lovely!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have quite the collection! Oh it's beautiful! x
DeleteI love the chocolate suede shade! I have the other shades and love them, I also have a random blue/grey but I never use it half as much as the bronze! They have such a good staying power, I always use them as my base x
ReplyDeleteTamz | http://www.throughneweyesx.com
It's a gorgeous, deep colour! I find browns easier to wear! They make brilliant bases x
DeleteI've never tried them but I've heard so many seller reviews I may have to stop delaying and just go buy some. They look so nice!
