Product Focus: Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadows

Hey beauties,

Word in makeup land is that these new Maybelline items are the best eye bases ever from a drugstore company. Do I believe so?

............................................................
YES and I  ♥♥♥♥ these products from Maybelline and this brand is very much growing on me on becoming a top favorite drugstore brand of mines.

Let me focus all the attention on these Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24hr Eyeshadow... I own most of them except the gold color which I own the MakeUp ForEver gold aqua cream which looks similar so there wasn't any reason to purchase the Maybelline gold product.




Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 hr eyeshadow

Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 hr eyeshadow


Top- Bottom: Tough As Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze

L-R: Tough As Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze




Top-Bottom: Too Cool, Fierce & Tangy, Audacious Asphalt

L-R: Too Cool, Fierce & Tangy, Audacious Asphalt




Top-Bottom: Edgy Emerald, Painted Purple, Tenacious Teal


L-R: Edgy Emerald, Painted Purple, Tenacious Teal






Pros: 

  • Long lasting- but I cannot guarantee 24hrs as I have never worn them up to that specific time but it sure will last up to 8hrs
  • Great base - these products provide for great eye bases and are comparable to MAC paintpots and MakeUp Forever aqua cream
  • Various textures- some of them are shimmer and some are matte colors
  • Very Inexpensive - range from $5.99 - $7.99 
  • Great amount of product which will last a very long time: 14oz/4g



Cons: 

  • Only ten color shades 




These products are reviewed on almost every beauty blogger blog and it was fair enough that I do a product focus on them because they are awesome. I have been wearing some of the colors as bases in my previous makeup looks and absolutely love how most eyeshadow colors are easy to blend on top of them.


If you haven't tried them yet, you definitely need them in your kit/stash. They are worth a try.

Where to buy: CVS, Walgreens, Ulta, Target etc...
