Out of the three shades I purchased the most pigmented was Knockout which is a stunning aubergine that gave my brown eyes a beautiful purple smoky look.

I purchased three mattes and I had no issues with creasing and the light, creamy texture spread easily on my lids with a smooth finish that wore for the entire day, eight plus hours, without creasing or fading and they removed easily at the end of the night. They don’t dry down super fast so it gives you plenty of time to blend and play around or build color.

These remind me of MAC Paint Pots but seem a little thinner in texture but have the same firm density in the pot yet are lightly creamy when you tap a brush in them or apply with a finger. I wouldn’t say there was anything “intense” about them but they all had excellent pigment, a dense, firm texture that was lightly creamy and easy to apply and blend on my lids with a slight tacky feel that set within a few seconds of application. I got three shades total and all three performed flawlessly. Guess what? The formula also hasn’t changed at all aside from the fact that this latest round of shades have more matte finishes which I appreciate. Back in the day I always got mine at Harmon’s for $5.99 and that’s exactly where I found the new ones at the same exact price. These retail for $6.99 and contain 0.14 oz of product. The size and price hasn’t changed either. Some people may appreciate the box as they feel it won’t be tempered with as readily as a pot that’s just wrapped where as others might feel it’s a waste of paper. Nothing has really changed with the packaging on these outside of the fact they are now housed in a box where as before the shadows had no box and had a shrink wrap around the cap.

So, of course I purchased a few to try out. Recently, I came across a display for Maybelline Color Tattoo Intense 24HR Longwear Cream Eyeshadow which had me pretty excited! There was an entire new range of shades to try out plus they promise “intense” was tempting and they even had a few matte shades. As you likely know the Color Tattoo formula is not new by any means! Maybelline launched them originally around 2012 or so and proceeded to do many, many different limited edition shades and even variations on the formula for years after. Maybelline Color Tattoo Up To 24HR Longwear Cream Eyeshadow ($6.99) have returned for Summer 2019 in a new “intense” formula that’s available in ten shade selections.
