Review: Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoos

My small collection of Maybelline's 24hr Color Tattoos began with On and On Bronze. It was an instant hit because, well, just look at the swatch- what is not to love about such a gorgeous bronze shade! I've been worried about creasing with cream eyeshadows as I do tend to get oily eyelids, however, I've worked out a method which leaves them crease free all day long (you can read about that here) and now I'm kind of hooked on using it. I wore it to a club last weekend and (especially given Britain's crazy heatwave) it survived admirably, honestly exceeding all expectations! But it is not alone in my collection, oh no. It didn't take me long to pick up a few other shades; Eternal Gold, Metallic Pomegranate and Permanent Taupe.

I mentioned Permanent Taupe in last week's Beauty Lurkers post and I am on a mission to get some more use out of it. My only issue is that it swatches really murky against my skin and I find it hard to wear without it making me look a little like I have two black eyes- but I'm working on it! I do find that it makes a good base for dark, matte shadows as it is the only shade I've got that doesn't have shimmer running through it. 

Eternal Gold is a massive dissapointment to me. The pigmentation is so, so lacking and it applies really patchily on me and wears off even more so - even when I prep and prime. I can't work out if I suit gold eye make-up but using this really hasn't helped me decide. Sadly, my only advice is to steer clear of this one.

Metallic Pomegranate had me hooked pretty much instantly. It is so out of my comfort zone as it swatches very red and I've never given much thought to red eye make-up in the past. However, there is something to it that makes it unrelentingly appealing. It has shimmer running through it, those gold flakes you see in my swatch run throughout and catch the light. I have yet to wear this shade out of the house but I'm working on an evening make-up look using this which hopefully will make its debut out into the world soon.

You can find Maybelline's 24hr Color Tattoos at Boots and Superdrug stores for £4.99, which I personally think is a bargain as they're pretty fantastic products.

Do you have any of these? Which of the shades I own do you like the look of?
