Hi my lovelies!
I'm sitting here at Genghis Grill waiting on my food so I thought I'd do a quick review on my lovely Makeup Geek eye shadows I just received in the mail. I ordered the following:

Shark Bait - feels smooth and soft in the pan, great color, but sheer. Will have to build this one up if you want an opaque look. It's nice to have a matte shadow feel soft and buttery to the touch.
Rockstar - If you only buy one Makeup Geek eyeshadow this one should be it. It is a silvery duochrome with a pink color shift. Think mother of pearl. It looks quite grey/sliver in the pan, but it just blends in with your skin and leaves an iridescence that makes you look ethereal. Really beautiful... Marlena did a great job with this shadow. Soft and buttery feel in the pan as well.
Simply Marlena - This is a fun bright matte pink. It feels dry and chalky in the pan, but still goes on great, has amazing color payout, super blendable and easy to work with. I say it all the time, mattes are hard to formulate... even though this feels chalky in the pan, it is not on the skin. Really nice pink. Very happy with it.
Corrupt - This is the blackest black you can buy. There is very subtle glitter in there... and I mean very subtle. It just gives the black a little dimension. This also feels a bit dry and chalky in the pan but wow, it is my new favorite black. SUPER pigmented, super blendable... VERY happy with this one too!!
Drama Queen - Very dark purple with warm shimmer. This is like if an eggplant had a baby with Corrupt. It's super pigmented, very soft and buttery in the pan... This is a great dark color if you want something softer than black. You can blend it out for a soft but dark look, or build it up. Will be great for an alternative color for a smoky eye.
Razzleberry - Berry Red with gold glitter. This is a really pretty matte berry red that has some fun gold shimmer. Like the other mattes it feels dry and chalky but has great color payout, pigmentation, is super blendable and easy to work with. Love this color and can't wait to wear it. It's a berry red, but sort of warm if that makes sense.
Pop Culture - Nice iridescent lavender shimmer. This one is a nice shadow but sort of underwhelmed me. It is sheer, and it says so in the description. Soft and smooth in the pan, has good color payout but is VERY sheer if that makes sense. If you want to see this on your skin at all you will need to wear a primer. Without primer it is like a watercolor wash on your lid, which can be pretty too. This will be a good versatile shadow that can be worn sheer for day, but built up if you want more of a pop of color.
That's it!!! I really like the MUG shadows. Everything I have ever purchased has been excellent quality (Except for Neptune... I was really not happy with that one) and are a great price at 5.99. The swatches below are without primer. I really built up Pop Culture, but everything else was one swipe of my finger in the pan and rubbed on my skin. Great colors!!
