Maybelline New York Color Tattoo - Too Cool

Nope and nope.

Like some other reviewers here, I bought this hoping for a white base I could use I intensify bright shades. This isn't it.

It's too sheer and impossible for me I build up without it looking patchy, it's quite thick and tacky so blending it with a concealer brush on my lid made my eyelid sore. The only way to get it on is with a finger and then you have I blend it out so sheer in order for it not to look patchy.

I tried it as a cheek highlight to see if I could use it that way. Fail again. Chalky, settles in pores and highlights texture, glittery, cakes together with foundation. Shudder.

This might be usable with difficulty as an inner eye highlight and a tiny brush, but I so rarely so that it doesn't justify keeping this huge glass jar in my stash for that.

I tried to give it to my 14-yo who loves white eyeshadow and she wouldn't take it either! I'll try my 8-yo next and if she doesn't want it, it's the trash.

Too bad, because this is one of my more expensive eyeshadows!

There's just no staying power. I've never had a shadow that creased and faded this badly on me. And it's a shame because the color is so pretty. I love the shade, it's a shimmery white that's not too opaque. But within a few hours it looks like disgusting eyeshadow soup on my lids. And primer doesn't help, this stuff just doesn't last.

I couldn't believe how badly this performed and I wouldn't buy it again.

very hard to blend

This is a nice, extra-shimmery white cream eyeshadow that blends out easily and works well as a eyeshadow base for non-matte shades. I have found that if I try to do a matte look with it, the shimmer will show through and sort of destroy the effect, so don't use it as a base for that; but if you want to use bright or pale eyeshadows that don't have the desired pigmentation, this will help them to show up great!
I find this one a little firmer than the other two Color Tattoos I own (Bold Gold and Bad to the Bronze), and so a little more difficult to apply evenly, but there is not much difference once blended out on the lid.

wonderful cool shimmery white, excellent for the inner corner, overall highlighting or all over the lid

My 1st Color Tattoo. I ended up buying Chanel Fantasme 81 e/s too long ago & they are similar in color but the Chanel is more whipped. I collect white eyeshadows, so I will still get tons of wear out of this & it will prob be dried up by the time I get to using it up! It comes in a very generous pot for US$6-$7 at DS/supermarket chains where Maybelline is sold. This can be built up quite opaque so I could see where this would be good as worn as a base or I mean, it's pretty on its own too w black eyeliner & BabyLips.

I HATE THIS PRODUCT!! It doesn't go on smoothly at all! It's patchy, it hardly blends. I tried to work with it for about 20 minutes and it just kept looking worse and worse. Don't waste your money on this! I wish I could love this product but I loathe it. Into the trash it goes.

this is okay. i thought this would be kind of like the nyx jumbo pencil in milk. i don't live next to an ulta or a target that sells nyx. so i really wanted a white base that would make colors pop. but this is shimmery and not as pigmented as milk is. it's not that good for making colors pop. it's cool if you want to put it in your inner corner, but it's too light for my olive toned skin. i really wish i would of thought it over before buying it. it's nice though, just a little clumpy. i love the color tattoos, bad to the bronze is my favorite. but this one was a little clumpy and weird to apply to my eyelid. i would only recommend this if you have fair or light/medium skin.

I have super-oily eyelids, so I was really wary of trying any cream shadows. But I saw the great reviews on these and decided to give them a try, and I'm glad I did! I always wear them over Nars Smudgeproof primer (worth every penny!) and usually combine them with powder shadows, and have had no creasing at all. They've stayed on and looked great for 10-12 hours consistently. I use a concealer brush to apply them.

I use Too Cool primarily as a base for colorful shadows. It really makes the powder shadows on top of it pop, and helps them to stay on, as well. It also seems to help slightly in holding glitter on that would usually fall out. This is probably my most-used color of Color Tattoo shadows. It's definitely frosty, but that seems to help the colors on top of it pop even more. I doubt I'll ever use it by itself, even sheered out, but it's totally worth it as a base.

I don't use these as eye shadows I use these as bases for other powder shadows!! These make my shadows last all day and they give them something extra!! I would tell anyone to try these... I have all of them and I'm addicted!
