Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Pans Review

I am a big fan of Makeup Geek single eyeshadows, they are affordable and yet awesome. This is one I have replenished since it is the ideal crease colour for me. It is easily blendable, creamy and long-wearing. This is quite pigmented and doesn't need much product on your brush to blend. Not extremely long-wearing it is best used with an eyeshadow primer but it is a very useful and subtle colour.

I have the 'Corrupt' and 'Americano' colours I believe. I did a lot of research looking for the mattest, darkest black eyeshadow and I must say I'm not disappointed with 'corrupt'! It's definitely very pigmented a a very little goes a very long way! It has a bit of glitter speckles in it but I'm not too fussed. I know this eyeshadow pan will last me a very long while as it's so pigmented. As for 'americano', I use this almost everyday. At the start I wasn't fond of the underlying red pigment because I wanted more of a true brown eyeshadow, but I don't mind it too much now. I've used this eyeshadow almost every day for the past 2 years and I still have a lot of product left! I love how smooth, blendable, and pigmented this eyeshadow is. One thing I've noticed is that it does crease after an hour or so but it might just be my very hooded eyes. I've tried it with primer underneath, but still no avail. But I don't mind too much. All that being said, I'd definitely recommend these eyeshadows to anyone!

I love my Makeup Geek signature shadows! They are so smooth, blendable, long lasting and pigmented! And there's are so many beautiful shades in different finishes to choose from. These are some of the best quality eyeshadows I own. I really wanted a bunch of matte base and transition/crease shades and so I bought a big order of MUG eyeshadows and put them in a Z-palette and though it's the most boring palette I own, it's my most reached for eyeshadow palette. The shades I have are Beaches and Cream, Peach Smoothie, Buffed, Creme Brulee, Frappe, Sora, Desert Sands, Preppy and Chickadee. I also have Tan lines and Cocoa Bear but since those shades are a little bit darker than my transition base shades they are in another palette but I use them plenty. I would recommend any of these shades as they are fantastic for warming up, blending and grounding your eye makeup look. Since owning these shadows my eye makeup looks have had more of that gradient look and look more grounded and professional. I love the looks I get with these shadows. Now there is a slight bit of kickup in the pan but overall these are smooth and buttery and pigmented. The closest quality comparison in I have in terms of eyeshadow brands I own is Anastasia Beverly Hills, I think the shadows in ABH Modern Renaissance palette are just a tad better than these but not by much. Given the price and amount you get per pan these are so worth it. When you break down the price per shadow you do pay more than if you had bought a palette but you do have that advantage of only buying the shades you like and know you will use so nothing is wasted. I have barely made a dent in the shadows but in years from now when I do use them up I will be repurchasing.

After seeing many reviews about Make Up Geek I finally got a small bundle last year. I got the winter bundle that had a mixture of foils shimmers and mattes. I highly recommend getting a small bundle like this that way you could try all the different textured eye shadows.

Each individual pans are magnetic. The formula of these matte shadows are smooth blendable with minimal fall out. The shimmer pans are pigmented and creamy.

I can easily transition each matte shade on my eye. I can wear these eye shadows all day without fade. The shimmers pop . I get numerous compliments about my eye shadows saying they look wonderful.

Out of all my eye shadow pallettes and individuals the Make Up Geek outshines the rest. It's the best I've ever used. I have no regrets. I'd love to expand my make up geek collection in the near future.

I purchased some MUG shadows a while ago (I brought the Manny Mua collar because I'm too lazy to buy singles and make my own palette). Eyeshadows we're really good. I've never really been into eyeshadow, so I was a beginner at the time. I found these very easy to blend and had great pigmentation. I just had to remind myself to tap off any excess on my brush so I didn't look to crazy. The palette I found was easy to create day and night looks so it was really good for me as a beginner (I only had a naked 2 palette prior to this which I find is not that great). So overall, I find these shadows great for a beginner as they are so easily blendable. These were my fav shadows until I recently done a colour pop haul - now the MUG shadows are probably my 2nd fav :)

I have used and owned almost all of MUG collection over the past 2-3 years, from their original shades to foils, duochrome, mattes and shimmers. Each pan owned has never disappointed.

The pan sizes are spot on with heaps of product to last you a very long time, they have a high quality feel and pigmentation pay off. Applying in a creamy state to allow you to blend and create the soft look or build up without dragging to create drama.

Not a day goes by without a MUG shadow being used be it a whole look, just a crease colour or an accent. They don't break down, or become blotchy, work well alongside other brands of eyeshadow and the bonus of being able to buy a z-palette and create your own custom palette means if you travel around you don't need to lug a heap of products but just that one palette.

Eyeshadow doesn't fall off the brush unless you give it a little tap, and there is no fall out when applying no matter how heavy you go you can always blend it. MUG is a favourite of my personal collection as well as in my makeup kit.

I just wish these were easier to get! They have such an amazing formula and pigmentation payoff - sometimes I forget and go heavy handed and get way too much shadow on my eye. Best idea is to save up and buy a whole lot at once - they are 100% worth the money!
