Makeup Geek Neptune Eyeshadow
Makeup Geek Neptune Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a “matte bright blue.” It’s a brightened, cornflower blue with a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff with a very soft, but somewhat powdery, consistency that is better if applied over a slightly tacky base. I would recommend patting in layers and only blending the edges, or else it is prone to sheering out. It wears for seven and a half hours before fading. Kat Von D Starflyer (LE) is very similar. MAC Heroine (LE, $15.00) is purpler. MAC Cobalt (P, $15.00) is darker. Illamasqua Sadist (P) is darker. Inglot #388 (P, $6.00) is darker. Inglot #369 (P, $6.00) is lighter.

Makeup Geek Peacock Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a “matte deep teal blue.” It’s a muted, medium-dark bluish-teal with a mostly matte finish. It had decent color payoff, but the texture was soft and powdery enough that it doesn’t adhere well to bare skin. It will deliver better results with some sort of primer, as it won’t sheer away as easily. It lasted for almost eight hours before fading on me. Make Up For Ever M240 Prussian Blue (P, $21.00) is a smidgen greener. YSL Fetiche #5 (LE) is darker. Too Faced Blue Satin Sashes (LE, $16.00) is darker. theBalm Matt Schilling (LE, $16.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
Makeup Geek Sea Mist Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a “shimmering turquoise.” It’s a muted, dirty green-teal with a satin finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, while the consistency was soft, blendable, and fairly easy to work with. The color showeed signs of fading after eight hours of wear. Urban Decay Indo (P, $18.00) is darker. Charlotte Tilbury The Rebel #4 (P) is darker. Make Up For Ever I300 Pine Green (P, $21.00) is darker. MAC Green Room (LE, $15.00) is darker, less shimmery. Too Faced Sequin (LE, $16.00) is darker, brighter. Giorgio Armani Iridescent Jade (LE) is greener. Tom Ford Beauty Emerald Lust #2 (LE) is more shimmery, lighter. MAC Shimmermoss (P, $15.00) is lighter. Make Up For Ever #302 (DC, $20.00) is more metallic. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

These eyeshadows look gorgeous!! I was wondering, how does Makeup Geek Neptune compare to UD Chaos?

Thanks for these swatches! I’m always on the lookout for a bright matte blue shadow that looks as great on as it does in the pan. The Illamasqua dupe looks great, but they are pulling out of the Bay in Canada so I’m not sure I can get that! This helps though.
No problem, Keri! 🙂 Glad I could share with you!
I love the idea of that Peacock shade… But I do not own any MUG, and never will, so maybe will go for the MUFE version.
Hope the Make Up For Ever one works out for ya 🙂 (if you try, of course!)
These don’t seem quite as nice as some of their other ones in terms of quality
Agreed!
I’m loving these colors! Neptune is especially gorgeous!
It is a nice color!
I have reserved a space in my drawer for Sea Mist .
I love the mutedness to it!
Sea Mist is beautiful.
I totally agree with ya! 🙂
I love the colours, but I am not fond of matte eyeshadows. These look a bit chalky to me.
They definitely need a good base to perform well, unfortunately!
I like the sea mist. I would have liked to see some pictures of someone modeling it though. I don’t think I would every be able to pull off the darker blues. They are pretty though!

You could try a darker blue as an eyeliner!
Thanks that’s not a bad idea. I have seen other girls wear color but I just always used black.
Thanks!!!
Kate
Sea Mist is ABSOLUTELY stunning!! I don’t think I have a shade like that yet…
Oooh!! One for the wish list, maybe!
Sea Mist is very pretty. The other two aren’t colours I go for, and they didn’t perform as well as Sea Mist, or the eyeshadows I have from MUG, I really like the ones I have.
Sea Mist is pretty!
All three of these are beautiful colours! 🙂 If I were to nitpick, I’d like them to be a leeetle more pigmented/buttery-looking. I can’t say enough good things about MG’s range or pricing generally, though!
*picks at nits* 😉
Haha! 😉 I hear ya. When they’re not 100% A+, at the least the price makes you go, “Yeah, I can get over that.”
I have Neptune in My MAC “color palette” that I created.
Nice! 🙂 What do you like to pair it with?
