Hey lovelies!
Today's post is all about the new Makeup Geek eyeshadows I recently ordered! This order had been such a long time coming. My Z palette had been half empty for quite a while, and I was itching to place another order to fill up the rest of my palette.
Thankfully over December, Makeup Geek were having daily sales on their website, one of them being free international shipping! Free shipping is quite rare on their website, so of course I had to take full advantage of it!
Makeup Geek is by far my favourite formula of eyeshadow I've ever tried! They're so pigmented, buttery, smooth, beautiful, long lasting and come in a range of amazing colours. If you haven't yet tried Makeup Geek, I HIGHLY suggest you check them out!!
I ended up ordering 11 regular eyeshadows, and 2 foiled eyeshadows. I
wanted to order alot more than that, but I only had 13 free spaces left
in my large Z palette! Fortunately, I can always just get another Z
Palette and make a new palette ;) These eyeshadows are just too
addictive not to!
White Lies is a matte white that's perfect for highlighting your brow bone or inner corner. I love using this to brighten up my eye area, it works a treat!
Vanilla Bean is a light beige shade, which is perfect for under the brow bone or as a transition shade. I use this shade first before I go in with other colours, just so they're easier to blend out and there's no harsh lines.
Latte is medium brown shade which is perfect in the crease!
Frappe is a medium warm brown, and one of my favourite shades! It goes perfectly with just about any eye look.
Cosmopolitan is a beautiful rose gold with a shimmery finish. It looks quite brown in my swatch, but I promise you it's not! I love using this all over the lid with Peach Smoothie (a matte light peach) in the crease!
Barcelona Beach is another brown matte shade, but a lot cooler in tone compared to Latte and Frappe.
Hipster is quite similar to Barcelona Beach, but a shade lighter with a shimmery finish. These two shades pair amazingly with each other.
Cupcake is described as a matte warm pink, but I find it's more on the cooler side! Still a beautiful shade, one I don't have in my collection.
Poppy is a striking matte orange with pink undertones, almost like a coral. This shade is beau-ti-ful! It looks quite intimidating in the pan, but it adds such a nice, subtle pop of coral to your eye. A gorgeous shade, I highly recommend checking it out!
Morocco is a matte burnt orange shade, which I absolutely love!
I'm obsessed with orange shades, as they're perfect to warm up any eye
look. This is another shade that looks quite scary in the pan, but it's a lot more subtle on
the eyes.
Bada Bing is a dark chocolate brown with gold flecks throughout. The gold flecks aren't that noticeable when applied to your eye, but still a gorgeous shade nonetheless :)
FOILED:
Magic Act is a such a stunning gold, everybody will love this shade!! It's so beautiful and pigmented, and looks AMAZING all over the lid. I actually wore this out on New Years Eve! Such a stunning, festive shade.
Flame Thrower is a bright, in your face warm copper shade, which is so metallic and buttery! One swipe of this and the pigmentation is insane! This is also quite a unique shade to my collection.
I'm still blown away by the richness and intensity of the foiled eyeshadows! So far I have 5 foiled eyeshadows in my collection, and each of them are beautiful and pigmented shades, without the need of Mac's Fix+ on your brush before you apply them!

That's it for my Makeup Geek haul guys! Makeup Geek hauls are my favourite, there's just something about opening those individual packets and placing them in your Z Palettes, arranging them to your fancy! That's what I love about Makeup Geek. You can personalise your palettes however you like!
Hope you guys have a marvelous day.
Much love, Steph xx
