Oh, Maybelline Colour Tattoos, I love you.
It's taken me a good while, but I have finally purchased the shade 'Timeless Black'. You guys should know about my love for these products by now, and this one does not disappoint.
I don't think I'll ever use this as an eyeshadow base, unless the look really calls for it. I bought it with the hopes that it would make a great gel eyeliner alternative, and boy does it!
I've never really had much luck with gel eyeliners, I find they can drag on the skin and dry out really quickly. This on the other had is perfectly smooth, and the formula is just wet enough to make some nice precise lines and points.
As with most of the colour tattoos (all bar a couple of shades), the pigmentation of this is excellent. I absolutely love the addition of the teeny tiny blue flecks. It was only when I took these photos that I realised they were there, and I had to go back and really look closely. The beauty of it is, is that it gives the product a tad more dimension without really trying. On the eyes it looks strong and bold, but not completely flat and matte. I love it.
Another bonus to using this as an eyeliner is it's longevity. It will last all day long, and I'd even say it would wear well into the night too if you needed it too. I actually have to really work to remove this at the end of the day. Massive thumbs up.
Because of this product, I have found my love for strong eyeliner all over again. It was lost for a little while, but it sure is back now!
You can purchase this at any Superdrug or Boots.
I picked mine up for an insane £1.50 at Fragrance Direct.
