With a flat synthetic brush, the application is much easier, less messy and gives you more control to avoid the patchiness.
I found this to be worse when I use my fingers though. Now, I have to be honest…they do tend to apply a bit patchy. I have tried applying them both with my fingers and with a brush. You can use them as a base for your eyeshadows and, depending on the colour you have, they can definitely come in handy as gel liners as well. As I said you can used them as a cream shadow, on their own for a pop of colour on the lid. And now swatches: The Color Tattoos in general are meant to be a very versatile product. It reminds me a bit of Sugarpill’s Paperdoll loose e/s, becasue that one is also infused with pinkish-magenta sparkles.
It’s the kind of blue I am a sucker for ? Hmm come to think of it, which blue am I not a sucker for?! Endless Purple is a really pretty, vibrant purple with what looks like magenta sparkles in it. Everlasting Navy is a beautiful dark, navy blue…very intense. Anyhow, both colours are really gorgeous and very much up my alley. So they definitely got something going on with the eternity theme. I am sensing a theme here…their taupe colour is called Permanent Taupe (correct me if I am wrong) and I think the bronzy one is On and On-Bronze or something. I picked a dark navy blue and a purple (blue and purple, what a surprise, right! haha) The exact names are: 25- Everlasting Navy and 15-Endless Purple. However, a few days a ago I spotted a few of them in a major discount.well, for €2 a jar I just couldn’t walk away without grabbing some. Nothing wrong with that! I personally prefer more intense colours, so to me they would never serve as more than a base. I know a lot of people who use them as the sole product, as a wash of colour on the lids.
The NYX JEP Milk already does that for me, while being cheaper and more versatile. I always thought, meh I am not paying so much money for something that I will only use practically as a base for eyeshadows, and not by itself. Well, I didn’t! For many reasons, the main one being that they are freakin’ expensive in the Netherlands (€11 per jar). Hi guys! The Maybelline Color Tattoos hardly need any introduction, as they have become so popular ever since they came out on the market, that most of you probably already own at least one.
