Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows Light silvery pink with a foiled finish frosted silvery pale pink.

With these rich and intensely-hued shades, the new Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows go beyond your standard line of cosmetics, introducing you to a new and powerful cosmetic experience.

This cutting-edge formula offers a creamy texture that is a hybrid between a powder shadow and a cream shadow that is on a level of its own.

The intense pigmentation combined with an opaque, metallic finish make these shadows a dream to work with. These can be applied effortlessly in just one swipe with no primer required! Our lineup includes a diverse array of rich colors and a smooth silky formula that we believe help elevate pressed eye shadows to the next level of exceptional quality.

So pretty

I own 3 of these, and have had them for a few years now, they're absolutely gorgeous. They're duochrome and they show up so well on the eyes and they blend super well. I don't know if makeup geek still sell these as they've changed their eyeshadows to the matrix system. But these are still gorgeous many years later.

Stunning pigmentation

I bought Epic (forest green), Center Stage (deep ocean blue) Luna (champagne) and Jester (yellow olive green). They add an amazing pop of colour to any eyeshadow combination. They're an affordable and less messy alternative to loose pigments. They come packaged in cardboard slots so you can easily add them into a customised palette.

The wear of the shadows tends to vary with some lasting slightly longer (Epic and Jester 6 hours) than the others (Luna and Center Stage 4 hours or less). All the shadows except Luna have a smooth consistency and glides easily across the lid. Luna tends to pile up and crumble when I swipe my brush in the pan. Note that this shade is from a makeup palette (MUG x Manny MUA collaboration) so I'm wondering if the formula is different.

My only issue with this product is the inconsistency in the lasting power. I have oily lids so this could contribute to the average wear. Even if I pack on the base in the hope the shadow will adhere to it, it doesn't seem to prolong the wear. They perform below average in hot weather possibly the heat warming the cream component of the shadow and breaking it down more easily. Despite this I would happily repurchase other foiled shadows from MUG because I can still make them work for me - they're easy to use, they have stunning pigmentation and are affordable.

Tips: Add primer to intensify the colour and to prolong the wear - even though it's an intense foil if I add the shadow directly onto my lids it's not as vibrant as the pan and tends to fade faster.

Perfectly Pigmented

Last year I ordered the Make Up Geek Shadow Vault. I added a winter bundle to my order . I saw many great reviews about their eye shadows and I had to have a try.

I chose Secret Garden , Showtime and Flame Thrower . Secret Garden is a shimmery Deep Teal green. Showtime is a shimmery Deep Brown. Grandstand being a bright shimmery copper. Each eye shadow comes in individual pans that can be put into a z pallette . I chose the shadow vault which holds nine because I only wanted a small collection. The consistency of these eye shadows are soft creamy and pigmented. Their top notch. Best eye shadows in my collection.

Application with the foiled shadows is easy. They spread out evenly. You don't need to pack it on like other brands I've tried. It wears for eight hours straight no fade no eye primer. No fallout.

My small amount of eye shadows will last me a long time . I think their priced fairly. Their worth every scent. I don't regret buying these at all. I highly reccomend trying these eye shadows out.

Best foils on the market

My favourite eyeshadow choice is MUG and there isn't a release I haven't loved. Their foiled eyeshadows were released in a set or as singles, of course I grabbed the set containing all the shades.

Decent amount of product packed into each pan, the foil effect is very intense but yet creamy enough to allow you to either pack it on as an accent or blend for a softer wow. Pigmentation is spot on, and the price isn't bad considering the quality and amount you get.

Have had MUG eyeshadows for over 2 years and they still perform as well as the day I brought them.

Best foiled shadows

To me these seem like a pressed version of the L'Oreal infallible eye shadows. They're super pigmented and they have an amazing foiled finish and because they're pressed in a pan they're super easy to use and travel with. They also have a wide range of colours to choose from and a little goes a long way because of how pigmented they are. They have plenty of more neutral shades for those that want a pop of shimmer but don't want something super colourful. 100% recommend

Pure pigmented goodness

I love the regular MUG shadows, they are holy grail to me. So when the foiled shadows were released I splurged on a few shades.

Magic Act: a beautiful soft gold

Mesmerized: a beautiful mid brown.

In The Spotlight: a peachy champagne (I'm sure the site has better descriptions btw!)

Centre Stage: a vibrant dark blue

Houdini: a vibrant dark green

Caitlin Rose: a gorgeous soft purple (not quite as pigmented as the others unfortunately)

Whimsical: pale pink

Starry Eyed: soft champagne.

Currently my favs would be the last 2, Whimsical is beautiful for an inner eye highlight.

These apply best when using your finger or a firm flat eye shadow brush. They feel very buttery and smooth.

While they cost more then the regular eyeshadows, you get the same amount of shadow. These definitely have more wow factor tho! Not for the faint hearted!

Whimsical

Wowzers these are intense! The lightest touch to the surface of these foiled shadows yields the most intense pigmentation I have seen in my life. Whimsical looks in the pan like a shimmery pink, but swatches as a boom in your face shimmery silver with only a hint of pink (thank goodness as I don't love pink on my eyes). The formula is so buttery soft and smooth and this blends out like an absolute dream.

The only issue I have with this colour is its so intensse and dramatic I am not sure when I will get chance to wear it! This is perfect for nightime IMO and it would look amazing for a cocktail party or for clubbing.

Would love to get my hands on some more shades, a firm new MUG fan here!

Can I have more lips please!

Looooove looooove looooove oh did I mention I love these?!?? I have a few friends that keep telling me how amazing makeup geek shadows are so I finally took the plunge!

Buying them on their website is basic and straightforward. They arrive extremely well packaged and even have a personalised handwritten note.

They come in cardboard slips. The pan is a really good size. The formula is very creamy for a powder. The metallic is stunning. The colours stay put and don't come off during the day. You really don't need anything underneath them as the pigment is stunning.

My favourite colour is whimsical. I have used it as a highlight many times. I love these so much I went and brought the full foiled collection! It means I'll have quite a few double ups but I'm all good with that

Yes!......yes!.......yes!

Hands down, holy grail of super pigmented, super versatile and easy to use single eyeshadows currently on the market, the only downside is you can't just have 1 or 2 you must collect them all!

Design: These cute single pan shadows come packaged for their journey from warehouse to their new home with you in a sleeved cardboard outer with the Makeupgeek logo and colours. The design of the outer packaging is done in a way to be most secure whilst travelling, even though the amount of bubble wrap they also wrap around them when they send is amazing!

Formula: The makeupgeek formula for eyeshadows is superb, they are intensly pigmented and highly blendable, this is the same for the foiled set only that these ones bling like they are full of little diamonds. Even though they are designed to look like highly metallic shiny shadows they haven't resorted to dumping a load of glitter in there and rather have a beautiful formula for that metallic look. All the colours I own are stunning and I get complimented daily on them. I personally love to use them as an accent on the lid or an inner corner. These shadows also are long lasting, don't smudge which is why I love them for inner corner application and are just creamy enough to blend over the lid without being smudgy or being too powdery.

Colours owned: Whimsical Starry Eyed Fortune Teller High Wire Day Dreamer Fantasy Magic Act Mesmerized In The Spotlight Showtime

My favourite is magic act it has the most intense true gold that looks great against any eye colour.

Great eyeshadows!

These eyeshadows are so pigmented and so affordable. i absolutely love them. However one of mine has shattered slightly, just some of the product has broken out of the pan, but im not too worried as I doubt I will ever go through the whole eyeshadow anyway
