Maybelline has just released five new 24hr Color Tattoo's for their Spring 2013 collection and they are all metallic shades. These new ones are actually called Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Metals. The best part about these new shades, they are not limited edition, that's right they are part of the permanent collection.
I am a huge fan of the Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoos, I own every single one, that's how much I love them. So naturally when I heard these were coming out I freaked and started looking everywhere for them. I found them at Kmart of all places and I was able to pick up 4 out of 5 (Barely Branded was gone, I was ok with that since it is SUPER similar to Barely Beige which I already had). I eventually found Barely Branded at CVS, and have seen these all over the place (Walmart, RiteAid, Target, Walgreens, Etc) since then.
All five of these new shades are metallic, obviously since they are called metal lol. The thing I was most excited about and I have heard others saying as well is that they are all much more wearable everyday colors. I mostly use these as bases, actually that's almost all I use them for I almost always put shadow over them. They work so well as a base and I never have any problems with creasing when I use these.
Inked in Pink #55 is a rosy shimmery pink. It is very easy to work with and very blend able. It has great pigmentation, but can be sheered out as well. I'm not usually a big fan of the color pink for my eyes but this is such a neutral wearable pink shade and I think it would look great with almost any skin tone.
Gold Rush #65 is a very bright yellow gold. This one is my favorite. Out of the 5 this one is the hardest to work with but it's worth the little bit of extra work because the color is SOOO beautiful. It's not as buttery as the rest so it is more sheer but the color s build able with a bit of work.
Electric Blue #75 is a dark navy blue. It has a nice smooth texture and is very blendable. This one is just a bit patchy but requires only a bit more blending then the others. I really like this one for a dark smokey eye it really intensifies it because it is so dark.
Barely Branded #70 is a champagne with a hint of a yellow/gold tone. It is so similar to Barely Beige as I mentioned earlier, Barely Beige has more of a pinky peach tone. I love to wear this one when I am in a hurry and just doing a real simple basic eye look. I just swipe it on with my fingers and blend it out a bit and I'm good to go.
Silver Strike #60 is a cool toned bright silver. It is very blend able and very pigmented. I find myself using this one the most I reach for it all the time. I like it because it really brightens up any shadow I put over it, similar to how using a white base really makes colors pop, it is just a bit more subtle when you use this silver.
I hope you liked my review on these awesome new Color Tattoos. I highly recommend picking these up especially if you can find them on sale, they are such a great value and to be honest if these were double the price I would still buy them. They are great to wear alone for a quick eye look and they are also great to use as a base to really take your eye look up a notch.
Bye Bye
