Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Pans Review

Quality - amazing ! Pigment - amazing ! I have fallen in love with these products ! Everyday I find myself using Crème brulee Cocoa bear and mocha for a nice warm eye look and I will fir sure be adding some of these to my makeup artistry kit !!

I have been wanting MUG shadows since I first started becoming truly obsessed with makeup. Thanks to Jaclyn Hill and her tutorials, I knew I needed to get my hands on these. You simply cannot go wrong! price wise, they are amazing. Its MAC quality, for drugstore price tag. The pigmentation is out of this world, they are so soft and buttery and blend beautifully. Just truly stunning.

I bought 7 shadows for a wedding I was doing the makeup for. You can only get them from the official MUG website, but that was fine by me. I gave myself plenty of time to allow for shipping (which was also reasonably priced) and when there was a slight hiccup with the delivery, MUG customer service was absolutely fantastic.

I have big plans for future MUG purchases, I cannot get enough of them.

Ive been looking around for affordable eyeshadow pans to make my own custom pallet. I was tossing up between M.A.C and Makeup Geek and eventually went with Makeup geek as it was a cheaper option.

I found that these shadows are super pigmented and glide on to your lids like butter. There little fall out on most of the shades. I find darker shades have more fall out.

These shadows are great for any mua starting out as they work just as well as M.A.C shadows and some shades do a better job as they blend nicely into each other.

Makeup Geek shadows are really really lovely. The website is easy to navigate and the shadows have very clear swatch photos, including comparisons with other shades in the same family. There's also lots of reviews on Temptalia, so it's easy to get an accurate idea of the true colours of each shade.

The shadows are lovely, soft, non-powdery and blend easily.

Each shadow is about USD6 and shipping for about 15 shadows was USD8. I placed two orders and each one took less than a week to arrive.

About a year & a half ago I decided I needed to expand my matte shadow collection so I decided to give MUG a go after hearing/seeing great reviews of their shadows. Initially I ordered 6 or 7 pans to try out as they were very affordable and shipping didn't cost much. They arrived within a week well packaged without any damage in cute little sleeves. The pans are a decent size, they're a snug fit in one of my extra empty MAC palettes which saved me needing to purchase a Z Palette at the time. The shadows themselves are pigmented, give beautiful payoff and blend like a dream! I've since made a couple of additional orders from MUG, the shipping has been the same quality every time :)

When Makeup Geek recently had a free shipping deal on I jumped at the opportunity and purchased three mattes and one shimmery shade.

These are so beautifully pigmented and blend so easily. They are definitely more pigmented than I'm used to. Shimma Shimma is such a gorgeous colour on the lid or inner eye highlight, and is now definitely a firm favourite.

In comparison to other high quality brands these are super cheap, particularly if you can get free shipping (and if you already have a z palette with space!). Once you've ordered a few however you are probably looking at a price comparable to some high end palettes- with the advantage of picking the shades you want. shipping was really fast also- I had mine arrive (in rural Taranaki no less) within a week of shipping confirmation.

I will definitely be repurchasing next time a similar deal is advertised.

About these little beauties? MUG caught my attention after watching Kathleenlights on YouTube. I had try to them for myself and boy was she right, I'm in love! Cocoa bear and Creme brûlée are favs as well as Corrupt for the blackest black shadow you've ever seen. I have recently purchased some of the foiled shadows too, AMAZING!

Makeup geek shadows are literally the best single shadows out there, considering the pigmentation, price and the colour range, they're comparable to mac but they're so much cheaper, the only downsides are the fact that you need to buy them online and they're slightly powdery but those are things I can definitely look past. I bought a Z palette off BeautyBay and have gradually filled it with my favourite makeup geek shadows. I rarely buy palettes anymore because there are always one or two colours that I don't like and won't use, but with my palette; I added all the colours myself so I know I'm always going to use them

I got a set of makeup geek duo chrome eye shadow pans and paid over $100 for shipping and postage. On the internet the swatches looked amazing and intense I fell in love and although the pigments looked better because I knew it was costing me alot I opted for the pan shadows. Well I have to say I am mixed about reviewing them because I was really excited to get them but when I tried them on my eye lid some of them did not show up and they are not as intense as they are portrayed to be. I actually had a very similar colour to"blacklight", "havoc" in pigment form already and also "voltage" in a pallet so I am selling those on. Had I not already had those colours I would have been very happy to keep them but "rockstar" doesn't really show up on my light skin tone or reflect another colour sadly. If some one with darker skin used this it would look great Today I used "mai time" and "secret garden" they ate okay but when I swatched on my finger they looked better meaning you could see the duo chrome aka the second colour these series are supposed to reflect better than when I put on my lid. Secret garden actually looked purple on my lid but when swatched it was a greeny black. "Karma" does not really seem like a true dup chrome meaning it barley reflects the other colour just looks more like a straight gold but it is still a nice colour just more of a foiled not duo chrome. "Phantom" also annoyingly looks stunning when swatched on my finger / hand it is a lilac light purple with beautiful pink pearl reflects /duo chrome colour through it. But on my eye lid it looked more purple the duo chrome and beautiful pearl didnt show up much I wonder what it would be like as a highlighter. Some I still have yet to try. The foiled collection looks very pretty all in all what I can say is they pigmentation is not bad but some are not that great and I had used primer. They do make some very good dupes for high end make up such as mac and urban decay and they last okay I am happy but I was expecting more from them. Just tried "im peachless" and "steam punk" again lovley swatched on the hand but on my lid under a bb cream peach looks patchy and steampunk is faded just like secret garden was and doesnt look intense or show the duo chrome much I am quite dissappointed now I see these are highly rated and I see they fade out to nothing in a few hours not sure if it was worth the amount I paid although these are not over expensive I feel they are over rated now sadly.
