Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Swatches and Review
Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Swatches and Review
Recently Makeup Geek released 6 new shades in their cruelty-free eyeshadow line: Nautica, Boo Berry (just in time for Halloween!), Peach Smoothie, Crème Brulee, Prom Night and Drama Queen. I’ve got swatches and a review for you of them, along with 3 of my favorite MUG shades. All of these swatches are on bare skin. You will see better color payoff if you use primer.
Nautica
A midnight blue shade with shimmery finish
My Take
Midnight, shimmery blue.
Boo Berry
A dark periwinkle blue with soft matte finish
My Take
Dark blue matte
Peacock
Matte deep teal blue
My Take
Blackend deep teal blue (not a new shade, but one of my favorite)
Beaches and Cream
Creamy Matte Natural Beige with Just A Hint of Peach
My Take
Light peachy beige matte (not a new shade, but one of my favorite)
Peach Smoothie
A light peach beige with a soft matte finish
My Take
Midtone peachy beige matte
Crème Brulee
A medium sand color with a soft matte finish
My Take
Caramel beige matte
Prom Night
A pale purple with hints of grey and a shimmery finish.
My Take
A light purple grey taupe
Drama Queen
A densely dark purple with a shimmery finish
My Take
Deep eggplant purple with purple glimmers, reminds me of UD Rockstar.
Corrupt
Intense matte black with a very subtle sparkle
My Take
Fantastic matte black (not a new shade, but one of my favorite)
Aside from Boo Berry being patchy on my hand, the rest of the colors were smooth. I love the peachy shade Peach Smoothie, as it’s easy to pair up with a hot pink or a teal like Peacock.
Which shades do you like?
Makeup Geek shadows are cruelty-free and retail for $5.99 from MakeupGeek.com.
Some products purchased by me. Some products sent for consideration. All opinions are my own.
I kind of want Boo Berry just for the name, lol. But Nautica and Drama Queen are my favorites.
UneLuneBleue The name is too cute!
Ooh more MUG shadows for me to lemming…creme brule, nautica, prom night, drama queen…love them. Thanks for the swatches.
JenniferInnes You’re welcome 🙂
I like creme brulee and all of the shimmers!
thecakepie I’m thinking that might make a crease color on me 🙂
Phyrra thecakepie I wouldn’t have thought of that, how creative!
So far, I am finding that I prefer my MUG shadows to MAC or other brands. The MUG shadows are much more pigmented, and they have a soft, creamy texture. I really like that. 🙂
Eleanor2 they really are very creamy! They have a great texture.
I’m liking prom night and dancing queen. very pretty colors.
Amber M They are nice 🙂
My MUG eyeshadows came in the mail yesterday and I am so excited to try them out. Your swatches helped me decide which ones to get! 🙂 I stuck with neutrals, but I love that Marlena has created neutral beige/peach shades that I don’t have dupes for… that’s quite an accomplishment haha
Catherine bcf Yay! And yes, I love the fact that some of their shades are unique in my collection and their pigmentation/blendability is great.
Thanks for the swatches Phyrra. I have been thinking about purchasing Boo Berry and maybe peach smoothie. I am really loving these MUG shadows. 🙂 But, that will have to wait until I get paid at the end of the month.
Eleanor2 You’re welcome 🙂
