I know there have been lots of posts on the Maybelline Colour Tattoos now, but I just had to mention them too as I am absolutely loving the colour On and On Bronze! Since buying this product I have used it nearly every day as not only is the colour absolutely beautiful, but it lasts so well throughout the day and can be used in a few different ways to create different looks.
If used with a very light touch, they can be used for a very thin wash of colour across the eyelid which can look lovely, especially in a nice summery colour such as On and On Bronze. It also makes a great base for other eye shadows so you can really build up the intensity of colour to create a really dramatic bronzey smokey eye if you smudge it around the eye. (The Colour Tattoos have been hailed as the high street version of MAC Paint Pots although I haven't tried those, so perhaps they're something to look in to if you love the idea of the Paint Pots but are on more of a budget.) However,my favourite way to wear the Colour Tattoo at the moment is as an eye liner as the bronze looks a lot more subtle than black for spring!
As for the twenty four hour claim... well, I haven't worn it on my eye for that long but they do last for absolutely hours in the same place with only minimal creasing. When I originally bought it, I swatched it on my hand in the shop and then went to work, and the colour was still all in exactly the same place hours later! If used underneath other eye shadows, they also do definitely make them last longer too.
I absolutely love the colour of On and On Bronze but I feel a bit disappointed that I'm not really drawn to any of the other colours, as I love the quality. The purple and blue are too colourful for me and I know they won't get much use and the charcoal shade just didn't really appeal to me either. When I saw Permanent Taupe in the shop I thought it looked a bit muddy, however after seeing it on Seonaid's eye (from Beauty and Baggage - she also has a great review!) I think that I may reconsider it as it actually looked really pretty on, and looked like it would make a nice neutral shade for everyday. 'Eternal Gold' is also really pretty, I'm just not quite sure how much use I'd get out of it. After looking on the Boots website, there is also a silver one, but I don't think I've seen this anywhere even as a tester...
If you're after a versatile eye shadow that's a pretty colour for spring, easy to work with and blend and will last all day then do try the Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze :)
The Maybelline 24 Hour Colour Tattoos are £4.99.
