Overview: My Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection!

TATTOO ME with Maybelline! Like many other girls a few years back I was totally in complete awe when Maybelline came out with the color tattoos. Unlike the ladies in the States I didn't go out and buy 4 shades or all the shades! They cost a lot more in Singapore so I bought two at first and then slowly bought more over the last two years. 

I'm so sad that we don't have any special shades here. We currently only have 10 shades if I'm not wrong at our drugstores. We have no matte ones and no limited edition ones! I would love more of the neutral shades both matte and shimmer!

My Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection!

Maybelline color tattoo collection: Bad to the Bronze, Bold Gold,  Gold Rush, Inked in Pink, Audacious Asphalt, Edgy Emerald, Tenacious Teal

Overview!

Let's jump right in, Maybelline is great but they aren't perfect. Although all these swatches are lovely and everyone has some shades they love, not every shade here is made equal. The best textured shades are Bad to the Bronze and Inked in Pink, they are even, creamy and the shimmer is super fine. These I would wear on their own and they would blend out like a dream with a clean brush.

Edgy Emerald and Tenacious teal are next, they aren't super pigmented on first application but they build up very well and the shimmery is also super fine. I love these two shades although they aren't as easy to blend out as flawlessly as the previous two. Gold Rush is also lovely and even and yet the chunks of glitter are very visible and so I have to apply this carefully bit by bit.

The shades that let me down the most are Audacious Asphalt and Bold Gold. The shimmer is quite chunky and it makes it difficult when you're applying it on the lid and blending out. I also don't like that these two shades tend to be more patchy on application! This also is the same for an icy white shade that I owned but have already gotten rid of!

In essence, these are not consistent in terms of how they apply/pigmentation/feel. However these all make great bases for any type of look and they are versatile in terms of being an eyeliner or even an eyeshadow that's super waterproof!

I tend to use Bad to the Bronze for all kinds of eye looks but here I've used it in the bronze and purple look and Edgy Emerald for the green look and Tenacious teal for the blue!

In Singapore these cost $15.90 SGD  or $12.60 USD each at regular price. It's a bit cheaper than buying eyeshadow palettes from maybelline but really not 'cheap', hence I really can't recommend all of them for someone interested.

Out of all the shades I've got here today, I've used up an entire Bad the Bronze and have already bought and started using a new one. I also would repurchase Inked in Pink when I finish it. I couldn't be bothered to get any of the others I'm featuring in this post.

I totally am dying to try some of the shades which have been released the last two years like Mossy Green, Barely Beige, Caramel Cool, Nude Compliment, Seashore Frosts and Cool Crush!

Overall, I would recommend everyone to pick up Bad to the Bronze as it's the perfect all purpose eyeshadow base for both neutral and colorful looks! Otherwise I'm not crazy over all the shades and a beginner in make up will not need more than 2 or 3 of these as they take a while to use up!
