I am a huge lover of the Color Tattoos from Maybelline, they are super easy to use for those days when you are running a tad bit late. I got Permanent Taupe because it looked like the perfect matte day shade which is always handy to have in your collection.
This is a matte taupe brown, which is great as an all over colour or used as a base. I like that you can blend this out easily with your fingers to give a soft taupe eye, when blended it has a similar look to MAC Omega.
The only thing I dislike about this shade is that it is so dry! Compared to my other Color Tattoos, this one is super drying. I find it really hard to blend on the eyelid because it drags, making it look a little patchy.
I think because of this flaw it would be best used as a base rather than on it's own. It looks really nice under a matte powder shadow like MAC Omega or Brun.
Have you tried this shade? What do you think of it?
I just brought this and I used it the other day, you're right it is very drying, I tried to use it on it's own as a simple smokey eye but it was too one dimensional.

Yeh, I think because it's matte it needs a little help :)

ReplyDeleteIt would be amazing if it wasn't so dry! haha
DeleteI love the Colour tattoos - they are easy to work with, wear well throughout the day and the shades are so beautiful. I love to combine this taupe with the pomegranate one - they work so well together. Xx

I usually love them but this is really dry and not very easy to work with, I haven't tried it with the pomegranate though I might give it a go! x
