Maybelline Eyestudio ColorTattoo Metal 24HR Cream Gel Eye Shadow, Silver Strike

i bought this product in SO many colors, all are gorgeous!! they're super creamy in the tub so I swirl my ring finger in there and just pat along my eyelids and it glides on very nice, its blendable while wet so try to blend fast because they dry and set pretty quickly and once they do, they DO NOT BUDGE!!! i have to wipe my fingers fast after applying because it stays on for good!!! which is awesome because they last all day! i do have oily lids though so i need a primer underneath. without primer, they stay crease-less for about 5-6 hours... with primer, like 12 hours! and after, i pat some matching eyeshadow on top of them to set them for the day and it looks so vibrant and gorgeous!! love them!! just wish they weren't so expensive though =/ or wish they had a sample pack like a palette with all the colors and smaller amounts because i know i'll never ever run out of these no matter even if i used them daily for the rest of my life, you get a TON!! so share with your sisters and friends!! haha! enjoy!! also, you can get sheer coverage if you just put a tiny amount, but it's also very buildable so if you put a thick amount or more layers, the colors get even darker or brighter n more vibrant!! :)

I own a number of shades in the original formula & love them, so was delighted to see Maybelline bring out a new metallic range.I bought Inked In Pink - a soft, pretty pink that is very wearable by itself, or as a base for powder eyeshadows. The eyeshadow has a lovely shimmery sheen, without being frosty or too intense i.e. it suits mature age ladies as much as it does younger ladies.The eyeshadow comes in a stylish glass jar with a screw on black lid, which both helps prevent product damage & stops the cream eyeshadow from drying out. It's also a very generous size.  It's easy to spot the colour in my makeup bag too.I usually use an eyeshadow brush to apply for best results, though to be honest the formula works just as well if I quickly apply with my fingers. I don't need to use much product, and I find that it blends easily & stays exactly where I put it, from breakfast to midnight. When applying, It does set rather quickly so I suggest working fast to get your look how you want it.I've never had an issue with this eyeshadow creasing or melting off on a hot day, it's the only cream eyeshadow range I can use minus an eyelid primer.  For my oily eyelids, this is a huge plus - a lot of other cream eyeshadows barely last an hour before disappearing,even with a primer.If I'm using as a base for powder eyeshadows, it works better than my usual primer, and adds an intensity and real staying power to my eye look.For the money, these really can't be beat. These eyeshadows are in my opinion the best on the market,and I think are Maybelline's best product fullstop.
