About the Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows
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.
Price
$89.99 for the set of 10
$9.99 for individual shades
The formula is sort of like pressed pigment, very loosely packed into the pan. So while one of my shades arrived cracked, after I swatched it, it pressed back together.
I felt like Center Stage, Houdini and Caitlin Rose were less pigmented than the rest, though they could be built up.
All shades swatched on Coastal Scents Step One primer.
Magic Act
Light gold with yellow undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
glowy light gold. This is a pretty, eye brightening shade.
Caitlin Rose
Bright amethyst purple with a foiled finish
My Take
This one had to be built up. It’s a glowy purple. My favorite of the bunch! All profits of Caitlin Rose go towards Batten Disease support and research. See more here.
Jester
Bright mossy green with slight gold undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
pretty green with golden tones. Makes me think of olives.
Houdini
Deep emerald teal green with a foiled finish.
My Take
This one had to be built up. It’s a deep smoky emerald with teal tones
Center Stage
Bright royal blue with a foiled finish
My Take
This one had to be built up. Beautiful royal blue.
Mesmerized
Deep medium taupe with strong purple undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
Deep taupe with purple undertone.
Showtime
Rusty brown with warm undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
Red-toned brown. It’s less foiled than the rest.
Grandstand
Medium rose gold with slight taupe undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
Beautiful rose gold metallic. If you love rose golds, you’ll be drooling over this.
In The Spotlight
Soft pink with coral undertones and a foiled finish
My Take
Eye brightening peach. A perfect lid shade.
Flame Thrower
True brightened warm copper with a foiled finish
My Take
Intense copper.

The collection feels warm-toned to me overall, and there are lots of neutrals. All ten of the eyeshadows are nice, though Caitlin Rose, Houdini and Center Stage appear to be less pigmented to me than the rest of the shades. Caitlin Rose, Magic Act, and In the Spotlight are glowy shades that I feel are eye brighteners. Showtine, Mesmerized, Center Stage and Houdini are good shade for shading or the crease.
The three eyeshadows that I wore – Caitlin Rose, Houdini and Magic Act wore all day on eyeshadow primer for me. I didn’t experience any creasing. I did experience a bit of transfer from Caitlin Rose, but I have very hooded eyes.
What do you think of the new Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows? What sort of shades would you like to see added?
those look outstanding!!!! I’ve never tried anything Makeup Geek, but these are going on my list.
You need to change that! Makeup Geek makes gorgeous eyeshadows and blushes, as well as great makeup brushes.
I’m seriously obsessed with Jester and Houdini and I have about 4 different looks planned using those two. I’m also planning on doing something with Flamethrower and Bitten from MUG. I love your swatches!
So happy you like them 🙂
Augh! *loosens collar* These are gorgeous. I think Center Stage and Jester are my favourites, but there are a lot of gorgeous metallics here. 🙂
Agreed Sylirael!
great photos of the swatches! seems like a lot of packaging though for just a pan o’ color.
That’s how all the Makeup Geek Refill pans are packaged. They also sell the shadows in cases if you like that, but I prefer the refill pans in a Z-palette for storage.
WOW! I can hardly believe your swatches. They are amazing! These are sooo neat.
They are definitely cool 🙂
THOSE SHADOWS ARE EVERYTHING! They are speaking to me.
Which ones?
Definitely getting some of these!
Can’t wait to see your looks!
Caitlin Rose is incredible but interesting that it has to be built-up. I would hope it could achieve that level of density in a single swipe but I would be wishing for too much.
I’m not sure why those 3 are slightly less pigmented. They’re still nice and able to be built up.
wowza in the pigmentation department! now i’m curious to try this
Yeah they are impressive!
They are so pigmented ! I can’t get over it, maybe I will find them in my stockin but probably not.
I hope you find a few 😉
I’m so loving the metallic trend. That rose gold is awesome. I still need to try this Indie!
Yes! They have so many colors.
Ok WOW I NEED ALL OF THESE! Talk about pigmentation, holy wow. You look gorgeous too! I love the shades and how they make those beautiful eyes of yours pop! Beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
I want some!! Mesmerized, Grandstand and Jester are definitely going on my list.
Let me know what you think of them 🙂
These are soooo pigmented!!! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome Kimberly!
I am SO HAPPY I bought this today!!!!! Great video review too!
Yay happy to hear you loved the video 🙂
WOW those are pigmented!!!
Definitely impressive, Cindy.
I need a few of these. Yesterday.
Yes you do! Maybe Magic Act?
Wow wow wow. These all look SUPERB! I am getting my hands on them asap
Can’t wait to hear what you think of them Lisa!
Wow, they really pop off your skin! Gotta grab some of these.
That foil finish does a great job.
Fabulous colors and swatches are amazing.
Thanks so much Norah!
These are all so pretty.
I think so too, Rachel, even the neutrals!
These colors are gorgeous!!
I agree, Aleya 😉
OMG I want ALL of these, seriously!!! Love your lip too.
Yay thank you so much Kim! I used OCC Hoochie pencil mixed with Colour Pop Leather.
Ugh. Of course I want them all. Makeup Geek has turned me on to wearing more color more often and these shades are only encouraging my new habit!
At least there are a lot of neutrals in this collection 🙂
