Maybelline’s Ready Set Green Color Tattoo cream shadow

Lots of people weren't impressed by this Color Tattoo. They were hoping for a solid green that was near-primary, but a bit brighter than Edgy Emerald. This is brighter, but it also a bit softer. The color loses some depth when applied. The shimmer finish is nice, but people who were hoping for a deeper green color or a 100% opaque color were a bit unhappy.

This shade looks fairly good on me. The color looks a little faded, a little bit greyed, which works nicely with my eye color. (But when I want a deeper or more vivid green…I reach for other cream shadows.)
