Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple 20

Maybelline Color Tattoo Painted Purple is perfect Pantone color of the year 2014 Radiant Orchid and this was the reason I got this color some time back. I love purple eye shadows . I didn't have any Maybelline Color Tattoo before so I never had any idea how they are in texture, until I used my first one.

The color payoff without primer is really less, and it feels little patchy and uneven on eyes. This color was not pigmented at all, I was expecting this lilac color a little darker and pigmented. This is beautiful color as a base but somehow this product just smudged on the lower lash line. It is good as base for any dark eye shadows, but if you use it alone, it will be patchy and very less pigmented. Also one more thing, it becomes dry after 4-5 uses, I have this product since 2 months, now and its dried up, so I have to use a eye brush. Overall I was not happy with this Color Tattoo, I am not sure If all color tattoos are like this too or different, as in YouTube community one color tattoo Barely Branded is very famous, some how it did not looked good one me.

22 Genius Eyeliner Hacks Every Woman Needs to Know

 

Never let your winged liner make you late for work again from Cosmopolitan

 

Kathleen Kamphausen

1. Make your eye makeup last longer by setting your eyeliner with a matching eyeshadow.
First line your eyes with a pencil liner, and then lightly dust eyeshadow in the same shade on top of it to hold the liner in place.

 

Kathleen Kamphausen

2. Use a pencil liner as a guide for tricky liquid liners.
If you're hand isn't steady enough for liquid eyeliner, line your eyes first with a pencil liner, and then trace over it with liquid.

Kathleen Kamphausen

3. Make a less pigmented eyeshadow more vibrant by covering your eyelid with a white eyeliner first.
This will help cancel out the color of your skin, create an even base for the shadow, and make the color pop.

Kathleen Kamphausen

4. Create your own custom eyeliner with a wet liner brush and eyeshadow.
The wet brush will darken the pigments a bit and create a sharp look like a liner.

Kathleen Kamphausen

5. If you have monolids, use a gel or liquid liner and draw a thick arch to create the perfect line.
If your eyelids tends to hide your eyeliner, try drawing an arched line above your lash line a little thicker than you think. When you open your eyes, you'll have perfect-sized lines.

Kathleen Kamphausen

6. Use white eyeliner has a brow highlighter for an instant eye lift.
Line below and above your eyebrows with a thick white liner, and smudge it out with a sponge brush to define your brows.

Kathleen Kamphausen

7. Make your own gel liner by warming the tip of a kohl liner with a lighter.
Hold the tip of the liner right above the flame for a few seconds, and then test the pencil on the back of your hand before lining your eyes.

Kathleen Kamphausen

8. If getting a perfect line is too challenging, draw a rough line first, and then sharpen it with a cotton swab and petroleum jelly.
Sometimes erasing mistakes is easier than trying to nail it the first time.

Elizabeth Griffin

9. For a really natural look, tightline your liner by applying it in between the lashes instead of across the top of the lash line.
The easiest way to do this is to fill in your top lashes from the underside. This will make your eyelashes look fuller but won't leave you looking too made up.

Kathleen Kamphausen

10. Simplify drawing a straight line by lining your eyes with dots first, and then connecting them.
Make sure your dots aren't too big. They should be the same size that you'd like the width of your line to be.

Kathleen Kamphausen

11. Create an eye-opening ombré effect by fading a lighter color into a darker eyeliner.
Start at the inner corner of your eye and line the first 3/4 of your lash line with a light eyeliner, such as white. Then, grab a darker eyeliner and start by lining the outside corner of your eye, move toward the middle of your eye, and stop half way. Grab a sponge brush and begin blending the middle section where the two colors overlap.

Kathleen Kamphausen

12. Use the edges and curves of a spoon to master the perfect cat eye shape.
Use the handle of the spoon to draw the angled line and the curve of the spoon to create the shape. Then fill it in to finish the flick.

Kathleen Kamphausen

13. If your eyeliner is crumbly, freeze it for 10 minutes before lining your eyes.
To prevent eyeliner crumbles from messing up the rest of your makeup, freeze the liner to help it regain its shape.

Kathleen Kamphausen

14. Fix smudges with a skin-colored eyeliner.
If you've smudged your liner a bit too much, draw over it with a skin-colored liner instead of wiping it off and starting over. This is also a great trick if you want to make the line super-sharp.

Kathleen Kamphausen

15. Use the edge of a business card to get the perfect flick.
Try tracing the line if freehand drawing is too tricky.

Kathleen Kamphausen

16. Line your waterline with white liner to make your eyes appear bigger.
Lining the inner rims of your eyes with a dark eyeliner is great for a smoky eye look but can oftentimes make your eyes appear slimmer. Opt for a white liner for a brighter, bigger look.

Kathleen Kamphausen

17. Add glitter liner to instantly transform your look from day to night.
If you don't like to wear eyeshadow but want to amp up your makeup for the night, trace over your liner with a glitter liner.

Kathleen Kamphausen

18. Get the perfect smoky eye by drawing a hashtag on the outer corner of your eyelid and smudging it out with the sponge.
Keep drawing hashtags and smudging it out to get a darker, smokier look.

Kathleen Kamphausen

19. For a more precise angle of your winged liner, draw the flick toward your eye instead of away from it.
Drawing this backward direction will make it easier to determine where the end of the flick will be.

Kathleen Kamphausen

20. Use mascara as eyeliner with a liner brush.
If you don't have any eyeliner, use some of the product on the brush of a mascara wand to line your eye.

Kathleen Kamphausen

21. Use brown instead of black for a more universally flattering look.
An ashy brown liner works on all eye colors and shapes and is less harsh than black.

Elizabeth Griffin

22. Use clear tape as a no-fail cat eye guide.
Place the edge of the tape in line with your bottom lash line and angle the top toward the end of your eyebrow.

Swatches for Maybelline Color Tattoo–Pomegranate Punk and Bad to Bronze

 

Hi Girls, here are the swatches for Maybelline color tattoo I got on sale recently. I know they are not new, they are from permanent collection, which I was eyeing on since really long and I bought it finally.  I think they are very good quality as drugstore product. Price is reasonable too. I saw many youtube videos and swatches for it before I got it, but somehow its shows very different on my skin tone, so be aware if you buy it, even the hand swatch and eye swatch will be different as shown below.

Pomegranate Punk on left and Bad to Bronze on right eyes.

 

Without Primer                                                     With Primer

                

With Primer

  

Definitely with primer it swatches more opaque, otherwise it is very hard to see, if you are wearing it individually. If you are just using as eye base then it is perfect. Looks really pretty on hand with primer.

Below are Eye Swathes with Elf Primer

Bad to Bronze- hardly visible on my eyes, may be will be useful for more pale skin tone eyes. I think I am going to return and buy some other.

Pomegranate Punk, I like it, I think I can wear this one alone when I am in rush, it shows up more than Bad to Bronze

Cheers
