Makeup Geek Preppy Eyeshadow ($5.99 for 0.064 oz.) is described as a “matte khaki brown.” It’s a medium-dark, caramel brown with warm, yellow undertones and a semi-matte finish (there’s the faintest sheen to it, but it is mostly matte).

ooo pretentious is a lovely color, and i love the price point!
Can’t go wrong at $5.99!
Pretentious has all right to be just that! It looks so pretty!
It is gorgeous!
I like them all. And gosh darn it, I’m going to buy them!
Enjoy ’em, Ginny 😉
These are all nice. I really like Pretentious.
I love the sheen!
Preppy is definitely a must have colour. Doesn’t look that appealing in the pan but amazing on the eyes (in the crease). 🙂
It is a great crease color, even with more colorful shades!
This is amazing. I want the shade called Pretentious just so I can say I have a shade called Pretentious. I shall wear it with NYX Powder Blush in Bourgeois Pig– the perfect grad seminar look.
Hahaha! Love it, Lucia!
These colours are amazing! Though they look very plain and everyday, the quality is unbeatable, especially at this price!
I totally agree, Stephanie! 🙂
Despite being a dupable color, I quite love the finish of Pretentious. I think it is the same/equal finish of MUG Galaxy, which becomes one of my favorite gray eyeshadows.
About Preppy, I don’t have a caramel brown matte within my stash and I really need it. So glad that both had great quality, because I’ll get them !!!
Yay!! So glad I could share 🙂
Wow – Pretentions looks so much more golden in the swatch than in the pan! 🙂 It looks nice either way, but it’s always interesting when that happens.
I think the shimmer really comes through – almost gives it a lighter look!
I’m liking the look of Preppy. I’m confused, though: Am I missing a photo? Someone mentioned above that Preppy looks amazing on the eyes, but I don’t see a photo of it on you, only pan and arm swatches. I think that’s enough for my purposes (I’m trying to compare it to a color in the Paula’s Choice matte eyeshadow kit — Tan), but it I feel like I’m missing something.
It sounds like they own it and were merely sharing how they liked to use it 🙂
Love Pretentious!
Yay!
Pretentious is nice, just not for me.
Sometimes it’s nice just to see from afar!
I will never support Marlena and Makeup Geek. Never.
Thanks for sharing!
I’m sorry, saying nothing would have been best.
How does Preppy compare to MAC Omega?
