Seventeen V's Maybelline - Cream Eyeshadows

Seventeen - Wild Metallic Eyes in Wild Nude

Maybelline - Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze

So I've already talked about the Color Tattoo (here). My love for this has not died but finding another colour from the range that is wearable any time has. Color Tattoo has great lasting power with a strong pigment that stands out or can be layers with eye shadow on top. I saw the Seventeen version and it's the first item I've bought from this company. To be honest it's the first one that's caught my eye. I really like the simplicity of cream shadows but beyond going to brands like Benefit or Mac which I know I can't afford right now there isn't much choice. In this crazy heat I expected the Color Tattoo to melt but it didn't , I always use a primer first so maybe that makes the difference after all. So moving on I did swatches of all of the Seventeen colours in Boots and this was by far my favourite. Wild nude is metallic without being glittery and more natural day make up the consistency is creamier as well. It did crease a bit after a days wear but that was in the crease of my eye so unless I was closing my eyes often its not noticeable.

The Color Tattoo is £4.99 and the Seventeen is £3.99 so not a huge price difference, I think I will always prefer the Color Tattoos but in both ranges there just aren't enough wearable colour or nearly enough choice.

This is Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr. Its been all over the Internet and then some, it's not new but it is different. This is a gel cream eye shadow and cost £4.99. I've bought it in On and On Bronze. The reasoning for this is I can and have used it on it own. I found without a base it did crease on me but it was a rare warm day I think. After that I used Gosh Velvet Eye Primer I bought this a while back on offer but its usually £9.99. It works great under the eye shadow and I really think they work well together.

The other reason is it works perfectly in combination with the Make Up Academy - Undress Me Too Palette. The powder sits well on top of the cream and can create a good colour blend. My swatch doesn't do it justice so go in to a drugstore and swatch it. The quality really is there and gives an easy look without having to do much. I found it easiest to apply with my finger but I think the sponge cosmetic applicators would suit it too.

I really want to try out some more now that I've seen the results. The ones I'm interested in are Turquoise Forever, Permanent Taupe and Pink Gold.
