Hype

Makeup Geek Hype Foiled Eyeshadow ($10.00 for 0.064 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark purple with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had decent color payoff, but it wasn't as intense or as creamy as many of the other shades in the range. Thus far, the brand has struggled to put out really great purple-hued eyeshadows. It had a tendency to separate and look patchy when I blended it out, and it was best applied in pushing motions on the lid but did not work well in the crease at all. I noticed slight creasing starting at the six-hour mark. Kaleidos Flowing Haze (Radiate) (PiP, ) is more shimmery (95% similar).
