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.

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.

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.
