Maybelline Color Tattoos - US v. UK versions

I absolutely adore Maybelline's Color Tattoos; I currently have 30 (almost all that Maybelline have made so far!) Now this post isn't going to be a review of the Color Tattoos but a comparative list of the US v. UK versions.

I can't understand why companies give the same product different names in different countries, it make it so easy for someone to end up with 2 identical items because they have different names. I have created this list in the hopes that it helps to identify the products that are essentially the same and prevent us from ending up with two!

This is currently complete, though that of course will change as Maybelline bring out future Color Tattoos. It is my aim to update the list as new releases are brought out.

Now, on to the list!

Those in italics are Limited Edition.

  2. I've seen some reviews and pictures that make Eternal Gold (UK) and Bold Gold (US) look like different colors. Have you swatched all of these side-by-side? I'd love to see someone do a detailed post with side-by-side swatches to set the debate to rest.

    I don't see Infinite White on your list. Has that one been discontinued in the UK?

    1. I have the US version Bold Gold but have never actually swatched it side by side with the UK version - I've no reason (other than comparison) to potentially buy two of the same thing especially as we have no return policy over here in the UK.

      However, upon my travels I will try and swatch the UK versions in store to compare to the US versions that I have at home.

      Infinite White is one that I must have overlooked when updating the list. I believe it is the UK version of the US's Too Cool.

  3. I don't know if you would be interested, but I've been looking for someone in the UK that would be willing to do a Maybelline Color Tattoo exchange. If you're looking for some of the US shades, let me know.

    1. I have all of the US shades that have been made so unfortunately that isn't something I'd be interested in.
