Bad To The Bronze - So Good!
Just bought this on deep discount at a local store and it is GORGEOUS. A soft shimmery bronze that I applied over a simple swipe of a powder foundation base. I simply swiped this shadow on with my finger and blended it. It has a powder-creme consistency and it applied super quick and easy. The result ~ a soft wash of color with a glowy, dewy sheen. No glitter or crazy fallout, no mess, no fuss. P...read morerobably best to just use your fingers with this one, unless you're going for precise shading/contouring. I know this is going to be one of my go-to eyeshadows for a quick, pretty eye look. UPDATE: Noticed two downsides to this shadow - it dries so fast there is almost no chance to play with it or blend it. A good or bad thing, depending on what look you're going for. Also, due to its' 24 Hr formula, it dries a bit "hard" - you can't budge the stuff once it's on! - but this also makes it almost impossible to apply and blend any eyeliner on top. You'll end up with an awful mess due to the shimmer of the shadow - it's almost like you have to scrape the eyeliner to blend it on top of this shadow. So if you like to use a liner on top of your shadow, be sure to commit! Other than that, I do love this stuff and am wearing it right now - despite its' quirks, it's pretty and super long-lasting!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 21 of 34 people said helpful

I Want More.
When these eyeshadows came out, I was extremely skeptical of them. For starters, I have extremely oily skin and have had issues in the past with cream shadows and even powders creasing on me quite a bit. Also, I didn’t see how it would be possible to get such bright color with a thin layer of cream shadow. But this line has incredible reviews so I just had to give it a try. I was completely blow...read moren away. The colors are richly pigmented, which means one think layer and you’re good to go. With my skin, I have found that I can only wear these without primer if I wear them very thin...but with primer they last all day! I was and still am extremely impressed by the quality of this line-it goes far above and beyond the typical drugstore cream shadows I have experimented with. The price is pretty much unbelievable not just for the quality, but also for how much product you get in each jar. Although the release of the metallic line is a step in the right direction, I truly would love to see this line expand explosively. These shadows are high quality enough to impress a makeup junkie, and simple enough to apply for a complete beginner. Therefore, I would recommend them to just about anyone. Bad to The Bronze is a great stand-alone color that I sweep on on days I don’t have much time for makeup. The reflective quality in the cream plays off my eyes natural contours, making the look complete even though it was totally effortless. I am so excited to see what is next for this line. I would love to see Maybelline come out a palette collection of some sort for this product. Overall, they truly do live up to the high ratings they have received.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Love Them! Needs more colors options though!
These pots of cream eyeshadow are better than department store rivals that are twice the price and the pigmentation is astonishing. I bought "bad to the bronze", a coppery metallic cream that is great for the eyelid's crease and as an all over lid-color for darker skin tones. I purchsed the purple shade for a costume and my eyes looked like someone had painted them, the color was astonishingly bri...read moreght and pigmented. I fell asleep with my makeup on and woke up the next morning and it had not budged. I also have it in a silvery slate color that I'm not as wild about. I thought it would make a good highlighter but it looks too frosty. I would have given these a 10 but their color range is a bit odd and I suggest more shimmery nuetrals for everyday use. While the purple was great, its not a very practical shade; I've used it once and I've had it over a year while my bad to the bronze is almost gone.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Awesome
I have just two but they are soo useful. The first is Bad to the Bronze which is a neutral brown with warm shimmer so i think most people can pull it off. The second is Barely Branded and its part of Maybellines metalic collection. Its a creamy beight with a frosted metalic finish. These are both so versatile, you can wear alone just sweep the color on your lid and your ready to go or wear these a...read mores a base to add dimension with other eyeshadows.

I like these
Other cream shadows are better but you can't beat the drugstore price! This products lost a few stars because it is a little sticky(which makes it hard to blend), it makes me eyeshadow go patchy if I apply thickly enough for the color to show up, and it still does crease if I don't apply powder products over it and even if I use a primer. That being said I have EXTREMELY oily eyelids so these may ...read morework just fine on their own for other people. However, I do like these as a base for eyeshadow if I apply them thinly. They help a more powdery less pigmented shadow to stick(preventing fallout)and show up better. And If I want to wear one as an all over wash I still can but I have to set it with my translucent face powder. I do still find that these apply a little patchy. Also, they are very inconsistent. While one shade is pigmented the next is sheer. However I still use these a lot. It helps it you work with it quickly before it sets and only apply a little at a time in a very thin layer. Give one a shot!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Maybelline a Eye Studio
Not impressed. It went on uneven, did not deliver the color smoothly at all. After a couple uses the white turned more gray. For a little while before I threw it out I used it as a base for my lighter eyeshadows. Maybe I bought a bad batch, I don't know, but I won't buy it againThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Color range is endless
Yes the color range is endless but a couple hours after your wearing it it creases! Therefore it is not a 24 hour eyeshadow or eye primer worthy either and I have about twelve shadows of these no matter how light or heavy you wear it, it never fails it always creases!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Maybelline color tattoo
I love using the "too cool" shade as an eye shadow primer and on my no makeup days I opt for bad to the bronze or tough as taupe to give me a little hint of color on my lids. Great rich creamy formula and super long lastingThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Best eye shadow base
I like using these a lot as a base or on their own. They do dry up a little too fast in the pot. I have these in many shades n they are simply great makeup to have in your kit.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
