I had high expectations for Makeup GeekEyeshadows; they are plastered across YouTube, Instagram and my favourite
beauty blogs, so last week I made a purchase on Beauty Bay and decided to try a
few shades for myself.
And let me just say, they did not let me
down.
The quality of these eyeshadows is highly
comparable to my higher end eyeshadows: Nars, Mac and Urban Decay. The good
news is: they are a fraction of the price! These shades retail for AUD $10.00
on Beautybay.com.
These eyeshadows are ridiculously buttery,
highly pigmented and blend effortlessly. Each eyeshadow pan is magnetic, so I
recommend purchasing a Z-Palette so that you can customise your own palette. I
also purchase these palettes off Beauty Bay as there is a wide variety to
choose from.

And swatched in the order below:
Coco
Bear:
Finish: matte
Colour: medium-dark reddish, brown. I love
using this colour to deepen up the crease and lower lash line when I am
creating a more dramatic look.
Tiki
Hut:
Finish: matte
Colour: medium, warm-toned brown. This
colour is perfect for when I am in a rush as I like to blend it all over my lid
and into my crease-it looks like I spent a lot more time on my eyeshadow than I
did!
Chickadee:
Finish: matte
Colour: orange with yellow undertones. This
shade is such a gorgeous and unique transition colour for the crease. It’s a
definite must in my collection.
Frappe:
Finish: matte
Colour: medium toned coffee-brown. This is another stunning transition shade that I love to use on my clients. This shade looks amazing paired with a gold eyeshadow on the lid such as MAC ‘Amber Lights.’
Roulette:
Finish: shimmery
Colour: reddish, rose gold. This is
probably my favourite Makeup Geek eyeshadow that I own. I love using it on my
clients with blue eyes as it makes them pop and look INCREDIBLE (And that’s an
understatement!). I use this colour on the lid only and make sure to use matte
shades in the crease and brow bone, so all the focus is on this gorgeous
colour!
I hope this review was helpful and I can’t
wait to hear your thoughts on these eyeshadows!
