Review: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze

I am excited to review one of my all time favorite products today.  It is a cream shadow by Maybelline that is a staple in my collection and that I find myself reaching for day after day.  This Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze wears flawlessly all day with no creasing and is the perfect bronze shade.

The Maybelline Color Tattoo's are advertised as having a 24 hour wear time, which a lot of companies like to claim (but lets be honest, who wears their makeup that long?).  I do find that they stay put without creasing or fading for a full day, even in heat and humidity!


I recommend applying this product with clean fingers or a synthetic brush.  I prefer using my clean fingers and smoothing the product over my lids in roughly two layers.  This creates a perfect base that has shine and shimmer without any chunks of glitter. 


The Color Tattoo's are comparable to MAC's Paint Pots, except they are a fraction of the price! Mac Paint Pots retail for $18.50, while the Color Tattoo's retail for $6.99.  The Paint Pots contain 0.17 fl oz of product and the Color Tattoo's contain slightly less product, 0.14 fl oz.


I prefer using this product as a base to keep my eyeshadow in place and add some depth and shine.  The Naked Palette pairs nicely with it, along with a lighter shimmery eyeshadow shade like Sin from the Naked Palette or Naked Lunch by MAC.

  1. This is one of my favorite products too! And I also apply it with my fingers. It looks so good just by itself or layered with other eyeshadows. I like the Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadows too, but the Maybelline ones are so much more affordable! :)

    I would love to follow you. Are you on Bloglovin? :D
