Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Bad to the Bronze Review

Not too long ago, Maybelline released a new line of cream eye shadows. I didn't purchase it until recently and got the color Bad to the Bronze. It was $6.99 from Walgreens, which I thought was a little pricey for a single shadow- but I had heard nothing but good things about it so I purchased it anyway. 

First impression: I like the packaging, and you get a lot of product. It lists that it lasts for 24 hours and I swatched it on my hand and found that even after washing them and going to bed, the next morning I could still see quite a bit of color so that was awesome! 

As far as it goes for being a shadow, I am quite impressed. I have used it for the past week and even though it is a cream shadow, which will usually crease, I have yet to have that happen. The color is GREAT; perfect bronzy color. 

I have been using Bad to the Bronze mainly as a primer or base. I was previously using Bare Minerals Prime Time in the color Toasted Almond for my eyelid primer. Mine came in a kit and I love it, but purchased alone it is $18. Well, Bad to the Bronze is a perfect match. It is a great dupe and the best thing is that it can be used as a lid primer, base shadow worn with others, or just by itself and all result in a great look.

I love Bad to the Bronze, it was well worth the cost and I don't have any complaints! Highly recommend this product and will probably be purchasing more colors.


Side note: My favorite look with Bad to the Bronze is used with the original Naked Palette colors Virgin, Naked, Smog, and Darkhorse.
