Maybelline Color Tattoo Review/ Swatches: Edgy Emerald

I cannot get over the Color Tattoo range! Why you so amazing Color Tattoo? I want them ALL!
I did review Painted Purple in September and mentioned how I was smitten with Edgy Emerald  so I finally picked it up! I wanted to get the Bronze one too but it was sold out! I can imagine it IS the most popular because it seems to be the only neutral one. Why Maybelline? Y U NO HAS MORE NEUTRALS?

Anyway, here's my review for Edgy Emerald! I'm not going to go through all the details again because I already did that here! This is going to be a very colour specific review. ^_^


Edgy Emerald is a brilliant blue green colour with gold shimmer. It shifts from turquoise to a greenish gold with the light.

You can blend it from a heavy, thick finish to a thin sheer one. I did find that this colour was more prone to cracking than painted purple and needed thin layered applications. 

Even so, if applied properly, it had no problems and refused to budge for hours! No creasing, nothing!


Swatches:


natural light (more blue)

with flash (more green/gold)
I couldn't get the swatches off my arm with two showers and much rubbing! 
In fact even the next day I had hints of shimmer on my arm. So full marks for lasting power here!

Here's my EOTD:

I used the browns from the Coastal Scents 88 palette and Edgy Emerald.



I also did another simple EOTD, the idea of using the Color Tattoo as a liner was niggling at my mind, so I tried it on my other eye! 
AND It works! :D 


I had some cracking at my inner corner because I layered it too thick. But it CAN totally be an eyeliner!

So, I'm still in love with the Color Tattoos! I think, even more since it can double as liner. >w<

What do you think? Will you be trying it that way?
Sorry if this review was short-ish btw, I mean, I would just be repeating myself right? :/
Anyway, hope you liked it!
