Maybelline Color Tattoo in Waves of White

Product & Colour

Waves of White is a sheer wash of duo chrome mica colour in a gel base. This is not a shadow to wear on it own however as I found that it was very emollient/slick to the touch and took 20 minute to set on it's own on the skin without a powder. Once set it will not budge however. ;)

The colour is a turquoise blue with a lot of reflection of light bounce back. The shade also turn pink in hue at a 45 degree angle when looking at it. But I was unable to capture that one camera.

Wear: 16 hour wear with some fading at the end of the day own their on for me. But it will crease if you don't allow it to set first.

Packaging: Same glass jar as the rest.

Compare: The shade is similar to Sugarpill Lumi and Naked Ivory stacks blue shade. It also reminds me of MAC Transparent Teal just just in a gel base.

Inner corner of eye on it's own

Verdict: 

I'm very smitten with this shade although I prefer it as a layering colour or in the corner of the eye.
