Makeup geek Foiled Eyeshadows - Swatches and Review

   
     Makeup Geek is by far my favorite brand in the beauty industry. Not a day goes by that I don't use a Makeup Geek product for my transition shade, black eyeshadow to set my eye liner, outer v color, or even there brushes. I love watching the Makeup Geek YouTube channel, it is entertaining and taught me a lot when I was first starting in makeup. Marlena (the owner) is the most genuine and trust worthy person, and I wish her and her company all the best in the future. I will forever buy and rave about all things Makeup Geek.

    For the every day/ natural eye look I recommend the eye shadows above. I could wear these shadows every day and they are work appropriate. Which, is hard to find with shadows this pigmented and light reflective.

• Magic act, is a light gold with yellow undertones, for me is a hard shadow to wear all over the lid it just does not go with my skin tone. I do love it to lighten up the inner corner. If you are more fair do not listen to me, you will love this color. 
• In the spotlight, Soft pink with coral undertones, this is a prefect baby pink color, that pairs nicely with the colors in the Urban Decay Naked Palette. 
• Grand stand, a medium rose gold with slight taupe undertones. I love everything rose gold and taupe so this is my favorite neutral shade. 
• Mesmerized, a deep medium taupe with strong purple undertones. I love this color it is so easy to put this all over the lid and add an outer V color for a perfect eye look. 
• Showtime, a rusty brown with warm undertones. This shadow reminds me of the foiled version of Bitten form Makeup Geek. Bitten is one of my most used eyeshadow and the first one I hit pan on. 

 

   Now, these eyeshadows are not for everyone. Personally, I never wear blues or greens but I thought maybe just maybe, one day, I would step out of my comfort zone so I bought them. If you bought all 10 it saved you some money so I said hey why not?

• Flame thrower, true brighten warm copper, is my absolute favorite color from this collection. Orange is my favorite color and this shadow does come off as a burnt orange shade (Not in a bad way). Whenever I want a bold, intense, and somewhat edge look I use Flame thrower with corrupt, by Makeup Geek, in the outer V.
• Catlin Rose, a bright amethyst purple. Brace yourself I am going to say something not 100% positive about Makeup Geek. The pigmentation is lacking in this shade. However, it is buildable. 
• Center Stage, a bright royal blue, is the only other shadow that needs to be built up. I personally can not pull of this color but if you can, more power to you!
• Houdini, a deep emerald teal color, is a gorgeous color. I have recently started dipping my toes in the water with this color and apply it to the lower lash line as a pop of color.  
• Jester, a bright mossy green with a slight golden undertone. Again this is an amazing color, just not for me. I wish it was but I just can't pull it off.

    Oh, you might want to know the price. Makeup Geek Eyeshadows are normally $5.99. However the Foiled Eyeshadows are $9.99 a pan. The formula cost a little more to produce but, I am okay with paying a little more for the quality I received. If you are worried about the cost, buy the first five that I showed you. Those are the ones you will get the most use out of. Another alternative is buying them all! Makeup Geek offers a bundle for $89.99. Which is what I chose to do.
