Maybe its Maybelline

I've always been a fan of drugstore makeup. I picked up a few of the Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Shadow. One word: LOVE! I have four- Tough as Taupe, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze, & Too Cool. I havent used them enough to give a complete break down, but from the ones I have used, Bad to the Bronze and Too Cool, I love them and look forward to using them more. A lot of YouTube gurus say it's a good dupe to MAC's Paint Pots. I can't say that much, because I use more drug store products than higher end. I purchased mine at Target for about $6.99 or so. 

Bad to the Bronze worked best for me as a base. I like to mix and match it with the Naked palette. I have used it once or twice alone and I had no issues (creasing, fading, etc). I used a primer and used it alone and noticed no difference, so I wouldn't bother using a primer with this. It's real shimmery, so I used more matte shadows when I pair it with shadows simply as a preference. 

I've used Too Cool twice in different ways. I used it as a highlight for my browbone and inner corner of the eye, and as a shadow alone on the inner third of my eye. It has a slight shimmer, but not as much as Bad to the Bronze. I want to try it as a base to make other shadows pop, so with the warm weather coming up, it works out perfectly.

Overall, I'm satisfied with what I have experienced so far. I'll definitely do updated reviews on the other two I have when i use them, and when I use Too Cool as a base, and if/when I pick up more.
