Limited Edition: Maybelline NY Color Tattoo in 300 Gold Shimmer

Gold Shimmer is one of the 2012 Limited Edition Color Tattoo's. Being a huge fan of gold shadows, I had to try this out...

The name gold shimmer is misleading - this is more of an antique, brassy metallic brown - but I LOVE the colour so I had to share. Here is a comparison with Bold Gold, the permanent gold in the range.


Top - Gold Shimmer
Bottom - Bold Gold

Gold Shimmer!!

Left - Bold Gold
Right - Gold Shimmer

You can see that they are both beautiful colours, but I think I will get more use out of Gold Shimmer because of the brown undertone, so it would be suitable for daytime wear and at night. The formula is amazing - creamy and smooth, similar in texture to Bad to the Bronze (which is probably one of the most popular shades in the range?).

There is another limited edition gold color tattoo from the 2013 collection (Gold Rush), but it looks waayy too yellow for my liking. What do you think?

Have you got any of the LE Color Tattoo's?

  1. Hi from Lady Sapphire!! :)

    Ive got bold gold and love it. It looks great as a liner for top and bottom lashes. The gold shimmer looks really interesting.

    1. Hello :) I haven't tried it as a liner, that's a great idea though - thanks for the tip. I've got a weakness for gold shadows, can't resist them!

  2. Pretty shade - I have the taupe and bronze shades and I like them but they crease really easily on me :( x

    1. That's a shame :( they do seem to crease for some people, but hopefully there is a similar alternative you could try. Perhaps the Illamasqua Liquid Metals...?
