Maybelline’s Color Tattoo line has received rave reviews for it’s long-lasting, silky finish and vibrant color range. A number of makeup artist and YouTube gurus have compared them to MAC’s Holy Grail “Paint Pots”. These creamy eyeshadows can be worn alone for a glistening shimmery look, or can be paired with a powder eyeshadow to compliment and brighten your eyes. Maybelline boldly claims these creamy eyeshadows have a lasting power of 24 hours with no creasing, smudging, or fading… you be the judge!

I encourage you to play around with the colors to see which works best for you. Here is a helpful review of the color tattoos. Starting from the upper left and going across to the upper right:

Too Cool – Has a matte finish and because it is white, its best used as an eyeshadow base to brighten up any eyeshadow color.

Audacious Asphalt – Has a shimmery charcoal color. Can be worn alone or be used as an eyeshadow base for your dark eyeshadows.

Painted Purple – Has a matte finish with a slight shimmer. Can be worn alone but works best as an eyeshadow base.

Bad To The Bronze – A personal favorite! It has a very shimmery effect and looks great when worn alone.

Pomegranate Punk – Has a shimmery red-ish undertone and works best as an eyeshadow base but can be worn alone.

Tough as Taupe – Has a matte finish and works best as an eyeshadow base.

Bold Gold – Has a golden shimmer effect and looks great when worn alone.

Edgy Emerald – Has a slight shimmer effect and looks great when worn alone for a pop of color on your lids.

Tenacious Teal – Has a shimmery effect and is also great for a pop of color on your lids.

(Note: Eyeshadow bases come in a variety of colors and formulas. They help to brighten your eyeshadow color as well as help the eyeshadow stay on longer.)

Good Luck!

    thank you SOOOOO much for including the texture of each color in your review! i’ve been looking through many many color swatches to try to figure out if “painted purple” was matte or not. and now that i know better, i’ve decided to get it. had i thought it was very shimmery i wouldn’t buy it.

    thank you thank you!
