When I saw these in Boots, I pretty much jumped up and down on the spot. I have other colour tattoos and love them greatly, so when I saw these matte shades, my eyes lit up. I have been testing them out for a couple weeks, in different ways. Now they're ready to face a review.



They come in the same thick glass pots, with colour swatch labels.

How I use it
This shade is what I use to even out my eyelids. Great for covering veins and discolouration. The yellow tone matches me, while the other shade will suit people with a pink undertone. It works great as a primer or on its own. Doesn't crease (on me) and helps everything last and show up vibrantly. It applies evenly and smoothly, I would still make sure your eyes are nicely moisturised. I apply it with fingers or a brush. Could be a dupe for MAC's Soft Ochre Paint Pot.

Pros
- Affordable
- Great primer
- Works great with yellow based skin
- Doesn't crease
- Good coverage

Cons
- None

How I use it
I mostly use this as a primer, as the pink base doesn't match my undertone. It helps eyeshadows last well and show up brightly. It smoothes over the eyes, again make sure that area is moisturised. It does not crease on me. Seems to be a dupe for MAC's Painterly Paint Pot.

Pros
- Affordable
- Great base/ primer
- Good coverage
- No creasing


Summary
There's not much to say about these, except they're amazing! My new favourites eye primer/bases at an affordable price! Plus there's one for all skin tones. Perfect for pretty much everyone, a great highstreet gem. I really want to try the other shades in the Creamy Mattes range, because I'm so impressed with these. Good work Maybelline! Thank you for reading!
