Description:  L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow is a highly-pigmented waterproof powdered eye shadow with a nice silky cream-to-powder finish.  The shadows do not come with any type of applicator.  You will need a separate eye makeup remover to completely take this off.

I have never experienced any sensitivities from using this eye shadow and I have not had any complaints from clients or testers.

Company Claims:

For the first time ever, L’Oréal Paris introduces an ultra-intense eye shadow that lasts from day until dawn—a full 24 hours. This revolutionary formula fuses the ease of a powder with the velvety caress of a cream to create a unique hybrid that glides on effortlessly. And with its unique technology, your eyes are enhanced with pure, magnified pigment. Make a lasting impression without batting an eye.

  • Intense maximized color
  • Luxurious powder-cream texture
  • 24-hour long-lasting hold
  • Waterproof, crease resistant, fade resistant.”

Discussion:  I used to love glittery, pearly eye shadows.  I still do, but alas as I’ve gotten older, they don’t look as good on me as they once did.  However, most of my clients are young models, brides, and performers and bold eye shadows are still a necessity for the looks I create for them.  L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow is a very good product that allows me to create professional looks that hold up under the rigors of hot lights, long hours and demanding conditions.  I once did a peacock look with these and it turned out amazing.

L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow was introduced to the market five years ago.  I tried one when they first came out and was very impressed with the quality.  A few of the colors are a staple in my professional makeup kit.  These are kind of a hybrid between a M-A-C loose pigment and a standard pressed eye shadow.

Please note:  L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow comes with a little plastic press that is on top of the product.  When you open the jar, you will see there is a tiny handle on top.  Set the press aside on a clean paper towel while you use the eye shadow, but do NOT discard the press.  This will keep the eye shadow from drying out and will also help to keep the eye shadow intact.

Colors:  L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow currently comes in 24 colors.  Sadly, most of the matte colors have been discontinued.  The only semi-matte color that remains in the lineup is Sultry Smoke.  There are a few colors that I like to use on brides for romantic or sultry looks.  These four colors are:

  • Iced Latte (Pearlescent Ivory)
  • Silver Sky (Shimmery Silver)
  • Glistening Garnet (Deep Pearlescent Rose)
  • Sultry Smoke (Medium Grey with Slight Sheen)

Product Dupe:  If you are a fan of the MAC loose pigment in the color Tan, the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow in the color Amber Rush, looks and performs exactly the same.  This is a beautiful rose gold-type of color.  It looks stunning on anyone with warm blonde, auburn, or warm brown hair and a warm skin tone.

Morning Review:  The texture of L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow is very soft and creamy and it applies easily.  I like to use a soft brush with this eye shadow.  It is best to start with a very light layer of this eye shadow and add additional light layers if you desire greater intensity.  If you apply too much at once it won’t blend nearly as well.

Helpful Tips:

  • If you have oily eyelids or you need your eye shadows to stay on for more than eight hours, I suggest using a base or a primer under powdered eye shadows.
  • Also, if you spray your eye shadow brush with something like MAC Fix or even water, it will help to prevent fallout and add to the staying power of your eye shadow. (This means to get the brush damp, not soaking wet.)  Do not put water or any liquid directly into the pot of eye shadow.

Evening Review:  After eight hours the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadows have not faded, creased, or flaked and still look good without the need for any touch ups.

Overall Review:  L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 Hr Eye Shadow offers professional results and is very easy to use.

  • Professional quality
  • Highly pigmented
  • Good texture
  • Easy to blend and mix colors
  • Great staying power
  • Nice selection of colors
  • Readily available

  • Need more matte colors

Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow

Product:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow.  Do you want your eye shadow to stay on for hours?

Overall Rating = 4 stars4 Stars – Excellent

Cost: $6.99 (.14 fl. oz.) ($49.93 per fluid ounce)  Price Category: Inexpensive

Sold By: Maybelline; Walgreen’s; Wal-mart; Other Retailers.

Container: Glass pot/jar, separate twist-off plastic cap.

Description:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow is a waterproof cream gel eye shadow that comes in a little glass pot.  The eye shadow does not come with an applicator and you will need your own brush.  You will also need a separate eye makeup remover to take this off.

Sensitivity:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow is a fragrance-free product and is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow does not make my nose run, eyes water, turn red or burn.  I have never experienced any sensitivities from using this eye shadow and I have never had any complaints from any of my clients.

The company claims, “Leather lush meets a creamy touch. Dare to wear our longest-lasting shadow. This matte eye shadow stays for up to 24 hours.”

Discussion:  If you have been following me for any period of time you know that I am in love with gel products when they perform well and provided they don’t dry out within a month of purchase.  Gel products save time and they have great staying power, which is great for actors, models, and even brides that need to look good for many long hours.

In my line of work I have to create a lot of dramatic smoky-eyed looks.  Gel eye shadows help me accomplish that task in much less time than layers of primers and powdered shadows.  I rarely use Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow as a stand-alone eye shadow.  I prefer to use it as an eyeliner, an eye shadow base, or even an eyebrow color.

Colors:  Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow comes in a full line of matte colors as well as the shimmery ones.  There are five colors in the Leather series, three colors in the Metal series, and seven colors in the Cream series.  Today I am discussing Chocolate Suede from the Leather series.  I have also attached photos of the other colors that are currently available in the Leather series.  (They discontinued my favorite color, Matte Brown.)

Morning Review:  Today I’m using the Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow in color number 95 (Chocolate Suede).

The company recommends applying the cream gel with your finger.  I do not agree with that suggestion.  Doing so will not only contaminate the product, but you will not achieve the best results.  I suggest using a good quality brush.  The size and type of brush depends upon the look you are going for.  I’ll be presenting an in-depth discussion of brushes in a future post.

This is a thick gel.  If you have never used one before, it may take some practice to get the application smooth.  It will work the best if you focus on a small section at a time.  I applied this on the upper eyelid up to the crease line.  I also smudged it slightly under the lower lashes and I put some on the eyebrows.  You can smudge this for about 30 seconds until it sets.  You will need to work quickly because once it sets, it is pretty much on until you use a remover.  I then finished the rest of the eye makeup using several other products (gel eyeliner, mascara, lashes, highlighter, etc.)

Evening Review:  After eight hours, Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow looks the same as when I applied it without the need for any touch ups.

Because Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow is waterproof, you will need to use an eye makeup remover to get it all off.  This will not rinse off with just ordinary facial cleanser.

Overall Review:

Pros:  This is an excellent product that serves numerous purposes.  Maybelline Color Tattoo Color Studio 24 Hr Leather Eyestudio Eyeshadow can be used as a stand-alone eye shadow, a primer, a base coat, and eyeliner.  The matte colors can also be used as an eyebrow colorant.  It works as well as many other brands that cost four or five times as much.

Cons:  I wish there were more matte colors available and I wish Maybelline would stop discontinuing the basic colors.
