I am shining

 Hello,

I felt a bit stuck with my eye shadows and I was looking at buying something new. To spice up the everyday routine. 

I decided to try out the Maybelline color tattoo 24h in the shade I am shining. I remember their tattoo pots and the popular bronze shade didn't work for me since it would crease but matte versions (I had two) were amazing and I would get them again if they would still be available.

I wanted to see how they last since the tattoo name and maybe to see if they are more practical since they come in pen format. I purchased it online so I wasn't completely sure about the shade but I ended really liking the color. I am no longer a big fan of gold shadows but this one strikes different.

It is shimmery but somehow cool toned gold. It has a slight yellow to it but also white so it comes off as pale and cool. If I choose to wear gold this is the one. 

I tried it on my bare lids and it would crease within the first hour (just like the bronze shade in the pot version), next I tried it with eye shadow primer and that worked much better. I would get around 8h of wear, before creasing.

I don't like to apply it straight from the pen since it drags my lid. I like to put it on the back of my hand, warm it up and apply it with my fingertips but then it doesn't show as intensely as on the swatch.

My favorite way to wear it is in my inner corners. Here I can apply it straight from the pen and it also doesn't smudge or move. 

I like it for highlighting my corners and I feel like other shades won't work, maybe white one would or maybe that would be too stark. I am glad that I picked up this particular shade but I am not too impresed to buy more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
