Makeup Geek Foiled Holiday Tutorial
Happy Makeup Wars Monday! Today I’ve got a Makeup Geek Foiled Holiday Tutorial featuring some of the new MUG Foiled eyeshadows along with staple shades. For this look, I wanted red lips to be the feature, so I used Aromi Beauty Matte Liquid Lipstick in Neon Red. I wanted my eyes to be subtly festive, so I used MUG Magic Act (light gold) and Houdini (smoky emerald).
Makeup Geek Foiled Holiday Tutorial
Before you begin, apply eyeshdadow primer.
1. Use a fluffy brush to apply Makeup Geek Vanilla Bean as a base shade.
2. With a lid brush, pat Makeup Geek Magic Act on the lid.
3. Using a contour brush, blend Makeup Geek Houdini onto the outer lid and outer crease, blending inwards.
4. Use a soft dome brush with Makeup Geek Barcelona Beach to blend out the edges of Houdini in the crease.
5. Using the Makeup Geek Bent Eyeliner brush, apply NARS Black Valley to the upper lash line, outer lower lash line and upper waterline.
6. Take a smudge brush and smudge Houdini into the lower lid. Apply Back Valley to the lower waterline.
7. Curl lashes and apply mascara.
8. Highlight at the inner corner and under the brows with Inglot Loose Pigment in 3.

I had to rush this tutorial because I was up sick most of last night and this morning. No fun! I hope your Monday morning has been better than mine!
Houdini was definitely more smoky, less emerald teal on top of Vanilla Bean. Where I used Houdini on the lower lid with no eyeshadow base the color was definitely more pigmented.
I love Neon Red! It’s a killer bright red.
How was your weekend?

I can’t wait to get my hands on the foiled shades!
You look fabulous, I love the look!
Classic with a metallic touch. Love it!
I really love these shades. I need some of the metallic ones
This is such a beautiful look on you!
Thank you so much Justina!
What a pretty look! Can’t wait to try the MUG Foiled shadows.
You will love them Sheila!
What is the main difference between foiled and metallic e/s? I’ve read mixed reviews on MUG foiled e/s….
I’ve now worn Caitlin Rose, Houdini and Magic Act and swatched all of them. To me the Foiled is sort of like a pressed pigment. It gives you the color payoff of applying the eyeshadow with a damp brush. I’ll have a review up soon.
I love the gold and emerald together! I don’t know if I’ve ever tried that color combo, but I have to, now. The red lips steal the show. Great FOTD.
Thank you! I’m in love with this red lip from Aromi!
Love it! I think it really brings out your green eyes! I’m so glad I ordered the Pressed Mineral Foundation in N10! It looks great on you! I also ordered the COVER FX Concealer in XNLight by the way! Def. need to invest in these shadows and I really like that NARS Eye Paint! Hope you are feeling better now! No fun being sick!
I’m feeling better now 🙂 I basically had my food intolerance reaction, which made me sick for several hours. Definitely not fun to be chained to the bathroom.
I agree, I feel like this combo highlights the green in my blue-green eyes 🙂
oh good I’m so glad you’re better. YES, that’s the WORST! 🙁
This is such a perfect holiday look! Love the gold!
Thanks Miranda!
This is so pretty!
Thank you Brianna!
It’s so funny that this post was about foiled eyeshadows because just a few hours ago I found my very first bareMinerals set I purchased which was their foiled eyeshadows trio.
Oh neat! I love shoppin’ my stash for old favorites.
I love the red lip with this look!!
It is pretty epic 🙂
This is such a pretty and festive holiday look, I love it!
Thank you Cindy!
Houdini is such a pretty color!
I agree, Anastasia 🙂
You’re making me want ALL the Makeup Geek shadows! Love your lip too!
Thank you!
I love seeing your look because we both have hooded lids.
Yay, hooded lidded ladies unite!
Love the red lip on you! My weekend is fabulous! I escaped my hometown Chicago and am visiting sunny Arizona!
I hope you enjoy Arizona 🙂
Gorgeous look. Houdini is beautiful.
It’s definitely a stunner!
Love that look. Magic Act is stunning!
It’s such an eye brightening gold
This is beautiful. I’m thinking of ordering these new shadows so your eye look helps me decide.
My review will be up tomorrow, if that helps, Marcia 🙂
The gold and the matte lip just go together like a dream.
Thank you so much <3
Wow, those foiled shadows are stunning and you look fab with a red lip!
Thank you so much!
