As mentioned in a previous post Maybelline came out with new Color Tattoos that they have named Metal. These will be a part of their permanent line. Barely Branded is a beige color with yellow/warm undertones, it reminds me a lot of MAC Shroom and Urban Decay Virgin. This product , and retails for $5.99-$6.99 for 0.14 oz. It's creamy, easy to apply (found using my fingertips work best with Color Tattoos), and not patchy at all (as some Color Tattoos are). Best of all I have found that it is true to the Color Tattoos reputation and holds well without creasing (over primer), even after working a 10.5 hour shift! Best of all if you weren't able to pick up Maybelline's Limited Edition Color Tattoo in Barely Beige, Maybelline seems to have duped themselves as these two are very very similar (see swatches below)!

Now for a comparison with Barely Beige. As you can tell they're very similar, but Barely Beige is a touch more pink.

ReplyDeleteOf course, swatch posts are one of my favorite kinds of posts to do! I tried searching ulta, walmart, and target (who all have it in stock online) but no luck. Maybe we can do some sort of a makeup swap and I'll snag some for you here in the U.S. :)
DeleteWow. :D I hope this becomes available in the Philippines soon. I think this would look great as a base. Like a champagne-y color or something like that. :)

Yes, it's an amazing base color! Awe I hope it comes to the Philippines soon as well. I'm visiting there next year, can't wait!
DeleteA+? Really? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love Color Tattoos! Most of them tend to live up to what they promise - long lasting eye shadow w/o creasing. :)

They were actually released in Canada first (which is weird because Maybelline is a U.S. company), then came here to the states. It's a part of of the permanent line, so I'm sure it'll get to you guys soon :)
Deletei already have barely beige, as you said it's similar... if its permanent i might buy when i run out of barely beige :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm really happy they made this a part of the permanent line. :)
DeleteThank you for these posts!!! I have wanted to see these swatches for so long. I loooove your blog its so helpful
ReplyDeleteXoxo
Yay! Glad it was helpful!!
DeleteColor tattoo is such a great product, never understand why it never comes to Asia! I live in HK and has been waiting for it and no luck. Lucky that a friend of mine buy me tough as taupe, but I want to get the barely branded as well, such a nice neutral color! And great review :)
