The normal makeup geek eyeshadows (not foiled or duochrome) are vastly overhyped. I own a few, and the only one that I really enjoy is shimma shimma. They are not very smooth and are somewhat...

I'm a matte eye shadow wearer and own more than my fair share of them. I found Makeup Geek mattes are as good or better than MAC at a lower cost. I don't own many of the shimmery ones but the...

I love these shadows!! They're possibly the most pigmented shadows I've ever used and are really worth the hype! If you like warm colours, try the shades Coco Bear, Creme Brûlée, Chickadee, Bitten,...

I have three of these shadows: peach smoothie, beaches and cream, and creme Brûlée. I have to say, I own a ton of eyeshadow and these are by far the worst. Especially considering the price per pot....
