Maybelline Color Tattoo Review

1. Tough as Taupe
2. Bold Gold
3. Bad to the Bronze
4. Painted Purple
5. Edgy Emerald

You might be able to guess where this blog is going since I have 5 of these to talk about. I really do like the color tattoos, especially the first three.

All of them are smooth and go on without too much hassle. They last a long time on the eyelid and don’t smudge.

I have nothing by praise for 1,2, and 3 on my list Tough as taupe is a really nice soft brown colour (despite the ‘tough’ name). I would describe Bold Gold as a very true gold colour, it’s not too yellow like a lot of gold’s are. Bad to the Bronze is a beautiful bronze which moves closer towards a shimmery brown than the red-y bronzes you often see. I feel like I can wear these three on their own or even combined to give a beautiful everyday look and I often do.

4 and 5 are a bit different. Painted Purple and Edgy Emerald are both stunning colours in the container. They’re jewel toned and I just had to have them when I saw them in Kmart recently but honestly they don’t impress me on the skin like the first 3 did. The colour tones down a lot when you put it on which is a bit of a disappointment so I don’t feel I could wear these without something on top. These are base colours.

I’m torn when it comes to the packaging. It looks great and you can see the colour through the glass bottom and none of the labelling has rubbed off yet so I still know what colours I have. I did have the silver one as well as these 5 but it got dropped in the bathroom and smashed which makes me question if glass was the most practical decision for packaging. That said I haven’t broken another one so I’d just say to be careful if you do your makeup in the bathroom or an area with hard floors.

As you can see in the pictures the 1,2 and 3 have started to dry out and pull from the sides of the container but they are still usable and hopefully I’ll get through most of it before they’re useless.

The price isn’t fantastic but it’s not horrible either in Australia with them costing around $11.95 unless you find them on sale.

All in all I do really like this product and I’m happy with the ones I have.
