Maybelline Color Tattoo Cream Eyeshadow (On and On Bronze) Review

I picked this little guy up after seeing a few good reviews and being a sucker for goldy bronze eyeshadow and I really have fallen in love. I am a big fan of good cream formula's, I have a few firm favourites including my Benefit creaseless cream eyeshadow and MAC paint pots which I think are fab but the Maybelline alternative is also brilliant. I absolutely love the colour, I went for No. 35 On and On Bronze which I find the perfect bronze colour for me. It's not at all orangey (which i find some "bronze" shades tend to look) just a fantastic browny bronze. This "gel-cream" eyeshadow is a great formula which at first feels slightly greasy (not as bad as it sounds!) and is very blendable but then dries down to a great crease free metallic finish. It claims to last 24 hrs and even though I haven't actually tested it for the full 24 hours, it absolutely does not budge! 

This has found a regular spot in my makeup bag and I have found myself going for this eyeshadow nearly every day since I bought it. It's fantastic for lazy days as you can just whip this on on it's own, but it also works equally well under/with other eye shadows and helps make a smokey eye really stand out with the gorgeous metallic finish. I tend to wear it on it's own with a Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner cat eye flick which is so simple to do. It is very pigmented and you can build it up to the finish you desire. 

The packaging is very similar to both the benefit and MAC products but does feel slightly cheaper to me. More plasticy and lighter but it doesn't bother me at all since it works so well. This retails at £4.99 which is much more affordable than the high end alternatives. Will definitely be purchasing more...
