The left side of my swatches are on  Too Faced Shadow Insurance primer. The right side is bare skin. You can see where I taped off the end of the primer because shadow never wants to adhere to that part of the skin.

Makeup Geek Aphrodite swatch
Aphrodite

Aphrodite – deep brown matte. This would be good to use as an accent shade, or as liner, or to deepen the crease.

Makeup Geek Artemis swatch
Artemis

Artemis – shimmery creamy light beige. This is a great highlighter and it would work well at the inner lid.

Makeup Geek Beaches and Cream swatch
Beaches and Cream

Beaches & Cream – light peachy beige matte. This is a good base shade. It’s excellent for blending out the edges of other colors or for a matte lid shade.

Luna

Luna – super pigmented shimmery copper rose. This is a pretty lid shade and it might work as a highlight at the inner corner.

Cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan – metallic rose gold with gold flecks. This is a gorgeous lid shade.

Makeup Geek Sora swatch
Sora

Sora – orange brown matte with flecks of subtle shimmer. I didn’t find that the shimmer translated to my skin when I wore it and I didn’t have fallout from it. I think it would make a good crease shade.

Makeup Geek Frappe swatch
Frappe

Frappe – midtone brown matte. This is another nice matte.

Makeup Geek Insomnia swatch
Insomnia
Makeup Geek Insomnia swatch
Insomnia

Insomnia – red-toned brown with blue reflects. I love duochromes and this is a fun one. Try it over a black base, layer it on top of a darker brown like Aphrodite or on top of a pretty burgundy like Mars.

Makeup Geek Mars swatch
Mars

Mars – perfect burgundy. This matte shade is my favorite in the palette. I love the color. It’s that perfect burgundy shade that I’ve been looking for – without brown tones. Yes, I’m still over here staring at Mars. Love it.

This is a limited edition palette and it’s made up of 3 of Manny’s favorite shades and 6 brand new shades that are exclusive. It’s warm toned and has a mix of matte, shimmery and foiled eyeshadows. I think the packaging is drop dead gorgeous. I love the pale rose gold and black pattern. It looks elegant.

Frappe, Cosmopolitan and Beaches and Cream are 3 staples from the Makeup Geek Collection. Insomnia is a Makeup Geek Loose eyeshadow that appears in pressed format for this palette. The new shades are Sora, Mars, Aphrodite, Artemis and Luna. I love the names of the new shades. I LOVE the names, especially Sora, Luna, Mars, and Artemis.  (Sora makes me think of Kingdom Hearts. I adored that series!) I think Luna is the Foiled shade.

I put together a look only using the palette shades. I used Beaches & Cream as a base shade by applying it with a fluffy brush. I used the Makeup Geek Defined Crease Brush to apply MARS to the lid and hood of the eye, blending out the edges with my goss 6 brush. I patted Cosmopolitan onto the lid and inner lid. I applied Aphrodite to the lower lid and layered Insomnia on top, then softened the edges with Sora. I used a  bit more of Beaches & Cream to blend out Mars. I highlighted with Artemis at the inner corner and under the brows.

If you’re a fan of warm-toned palettes and neutrals, you will love this palette. If you’re looking to add more mattes to your stash, you may like this palette, especially for Mars. If you prefer brights, you’ll want to skip this palette.

  1. oh thank goodness for you swatches!! <3 I am writing a post of shopping my stash to build my own dupe little palette for this Manny collaboration and they helped a lot!!
    I don't comment often but follow you with great pleasure!!

  2. People who support this turd have no conscience because this jerk’s behavior was and is disgusting and should not be rewarded. So sick of it. From the Gerard thing to his bullcrap about IMATS, which was a bunch of lies (there are videos out that explain the truth about YTers being “kicked out of IMATS”) and disrespectful. If they were all in the actual industry with the real pros, they would never succeed with the attitudes they have. There is nothing special about this, and of course has the three usual boring crap. NOPE.

  3. I wasn’t too impressed until I saw your video. The colors seem much better swatched than in the pan. However I’m still not sure I’d buy it– depends on the price, because I thought that whole Gerard Cosmetics thing was really horrible. There’s no need to be promoting that kind of hate and I’m disappointed that MUG are supporting him.

    1. I totally agree with you. I happen to also be a feminine lesbian and I much prefer to see makeup on women rather than men.

    2. Yeah I touch on the Gerard thing in the video. It’s how I initially heard about Manny. I felt like it reflected more on Gerard than Manny. I did notice that he is taking part in tarte’s anti-bullying campaign, so I was hoping he’d learned from the Gerard incident.

  4. It is an elegant and stunning palette. I think it’s very wearable though I’d be wearing the gorgeous Mars on my cheeks or lips, I think. Cosmospolitan is so gorgeous!

  5. This is so warm but the colors are beauties. I hope he collaborates with MUG on a cooler palette.

  6. another amazing job on tis video and post! thanks! you just made me want this palette even more!! I already own the 3 permanent shades and am doubting on that…do you have any hint if these are going to be available as singles as well? (yes, I am still staring at mars with heart shaped eyes too) 🙂

  7. It’s a pretty palette, but after MannyMUA joined in with Gerard Cosmetics in publicly bashing bloggers who gave Gerard bad reviews, I won’t buy anything connected with him.

  8. What a stunning palette! The look that you created is absolutely stunning, and of course your swatches are phenomenal! This is a really great post, Courtney!
