Hands-down the most pigmented teal eyeshadow I've ever used—and that includes drugstore and high-end eyeshadows. Stays put and never fades until I need to take it off, and it's one of the Color Tattoos that I'd proudly wear without any other eyeshadows.

I only have this shade, but I think Maybelline did an awesome job on these. I am extremely prone to creasing and this lasts all day on me without a primer.

Not super opaque when you first put it on, but definitely buildable which is really nice. Very smooth and creamy even though it has a kind of silvery micro-glitter.

Such a beautiful shade of teal, leans more on the blue than green side. A great alternative to blues which can look dated in my opinion.

The colour is what it looks like. It is extremely bright! The reason I would not buy it again is because it does not do what it says it will

About me: NW13 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.

I wanted this color for a "mermaidy" sea green / blue /gold shimmer look. However, it takes so many layers for any sort of color pay off, and it wears off faster than the other Color Tattoos! : (

Nice color and payoff but the product just doesn't stay on for me. (even with a shadow on top) I prefer my MAC paint pots.

So far i've only gotten the teal color and I've gotta say, the color payoff is GREAT! It's veery pigmented since it's a cream and unlike the powder eyeshadow's, they won't rub off. Give em a try!:]

Tenacious Teal is a medium dark blue with a silvered shimmer. It has great color payoff and applies smoothly. I so love this color. Actually this was the color that trapped me first. The shadows have so rich and creamy texture. They look seamless, and totally wearable. I did not find that they last 24hrs, but they certainly wear smoothly all day. The shadow feels great on as well: neither too oily, nor too drying. It's a real dream product. I hope should stay around for a very long time, because it needs no improving. They are long lasting, have good pigmented buildable color, do not crease, and are versatile. I mean if you will apply them like eyeliner too you will get a prominent eye look, no need of so much eyeshadows. I can wear Bold Gold by itself and Tenacious Teal and they look FANTASTIC! WOW. I LOVE THESE SO MUCH. The shade range is pretty diverse and, so it is possible to look them up if you forgot. It is pretty fun to try them.

Gorgeous. Can't really say much about the staying power because I wear a primer underneath but this was my first color tattoo product. I went back at bought the purple today. Maybelline is really improving with their shadows. Good Job!

I bought this and I had a allergic reaction to it.
My eyes are all puffy now, so I will be returning this as soon as I can.

The other colours I have, the netural colours work fine. Just the teal colour doesn't like my skin for whatever reason.

I got this color by accident - i really meant to get Edgy Emerald, but couldn't remember which i wanted. It's still a great color. It is NOT Teal, but actually turquoise with some shimmer.


I used it on my upper lid, covering from the lashes to about halfway with a small brush, getting intense color and full coverage. Then i applied it in a sheer line under my lower eye lashes. I put a fine dark eye liner on my upper lid for a bit more definition. It lasted almost 12 hours, although there was a little fading. But it wasn't that bad, since i was out with friends at a baseball game until fairly late (nice fireworks) in hot muggy weather.


I have three other Color Tattoos (orange, bronze, & taupe). I still have to get Edgy Emerald, and want to pick up the gold and the pomegranate. Plus i hear there are some Limited Edition colors for Fall 2012 i have to see if i can find, too!

This eyeshadow is absolutely amazing! It goes on slightly sheer with just a bit of color but then if you wait a couple seconds to dry a bit you can apply more to deepen the shade. I find the best way to apply is to dab and smooth then allow a few seconds to dry before you blink. The color lasts all day and night, if allowed to dry properly it doesn't smudge or crease. The quality is better then products twice the price and I have every intention of buying more colors before they decide to change it.

I love this eyeshadow! I'm normally not one for bright colors, but this real looks wonderful with my hazel eyes. You do have to build it a bit to achieve the intensity you want, but it is long lasting and for me, doesn't crease. Overall, it's definitely one of my favorites.

This is not the best of the Color Tattoos. Its one of those makeup items that look really, really pretty and mesmerizing in the pot but when you actually put it on, you kind of realize you can do without it. Compared to some of the other colors, I found this one on the sheer side. It is buildable to an opaque eyeshadow but its still kind of disappointing I think mostly because the other eyeshadows are doing so well. However, I think it might last longer than the others. Im not sure if its because I build it up so much but it definitely lasts 2-6 hours longer ( they generally last 6-8 hrs without creasing or fading on me) therefore making it much more a pain in the butt of taking it off. You need a good makeup remover with these or else you could hurt your eyes and irratate your eyelid/skin from scrubbbing it off. Now in terms of the color... I dont think its a color everyone can pull off ( on its own), thats just my opinion, I could be wrong. Its not the worst of the Maybelline color Tattoos but not the best either. Its such a stunning color in the pot though.

Since I love Bad to the Bronze, I wanted to try the non-neutrals
Price: $7.80 CAD
Pkg: glass pot
Colour: light teal-blue
Finish: shimmer
Texture: buttery but solid
Dries to powderlike state in a flash and stays on my super oily lids until the end of the day w/minimal creasing. The colour intensity fades a touch tho.
I've been looking for a blue base to try under Blue Brown pigment and never found one that I liked...... until this came along. CT itself is very vibrant and totally brings out the blue in Blue Brown.
And yes, CTs are pretty much the cheaper versions of MAC Paint Pots w/the same qualities :)

If you're looking for a pigmented turquoise or teal color, SKIP this.
It is very light and sheer even when layered, turns out light blue. These do not crease, are long wearing (12+ hours), and are good as eyeshadow bases, but this color is kind of a dud from this line.

for an eyeshadow that is supposed to be really bright.. it does not show up much
i was hoping to line my eyes with a bright turquoise but it was barely noticable... it looked baby blue
not good as an eyeliner.. but i may just use it all over my lids sometimes

Nice color, didn't have staying power problems. It did take a few layers to get the color on, but if you plan to top it with shadow that's not a problem. On its own it's good if your lids aren't too oily, but it just takes some time to apply, so be patient with the application. You can use a brush and apply this under the eye too.

A very alluring product. But a slight disappointment. I expected the color to be more... more like BOOM, POW. But instead it was like, ok layer me up a little bit. I only have Tenacious Teal, maybe the other ones are better. It was very creamy, but faded during an 8 hour day. (And I've seen this kind of packaging a million times.)

Beautiful and it DOES last forever! I've got 3 of these now - and may go back and get ALL of them! I put this on top of my eyelid primer from NYX. You can build it - make it light or dark. IT DOES LAST FOREVER! Only $5.94 at Target!!!
