My Experience With Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream Gel Shadow In Painted Purple:

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream Gel Shadow comes in a petit and neat packaging. The eye shadow is contained in a small, compact, transparent glass case and engraved on it is the name of the product in silver. Its see through base gives you a glimpse of the eye shadow color. The top black cap has the name of the shade and other information printed on it. Personally, I found the packaging to be quite sturdy and cute. Its convenient packaging enables it to smoothly slip into your over crowded cosmetic shelf.

This gel based eye shadow compliments your kohl tinted eyes beautifully. I loved this Painted Purple shade. The purple color adds a funky touch to your personality. Moreover, Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo blends easily with your skin, giving your eyelids a smooth texture. Its gel based formula makes its application easy by gliding easily over the eyelids. This is one eye shadow which has a superb pigmentation and can be built up easily with deep strokes for more intensity. It doesn't smear or transfer easily. So you don't have to worry about any smudged eye shadow after those few rounds of dance at your favorite club on your much loved soundtracks.

But beware! It tends to dry off easily. When I was applying it for the first time, I realised that the eye shadow dried quickly on my fingertips within a gap of few seconds. And then when I tried applying, it didn't exactly glide over my eyelids smoothly. I had to rub it a little more vigorously. It might look untidy if not blended evenly. But its staying power really amazed me. The eye shadow keeps your eyelids tenaciously vibrant for more than 6-7 hours. However it gradually makes your eyelids feel dry and heavy. Other than these two negative factors, I don't see any major drawbacks in this product. So if you love experimenting and have a knack for trying out different looks, I think this product will not disappoint you at all.

Pros Of Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24 HR Cream Gel Shadow In Painted Purple:
