Makeup Geek Eyeshadows
There are nine new Makeup Geek Eyeshadows ($6.00 for 0.064 oz.) for fall! As you might expect, I am buried under holiday palette and kit releases this weekend, so all I can give you are swatches right now, but I’ll be testing soon!

Great fall colors for sure.
Uh oh, the mattes look dry, the shimmers look good. I probably have dupes, but like Pocket Change
I really like the looks of Faux Fur. It looks like my kind of color. I usually like MG shadows but the last couple that I purchased just wouldn’t blend out. Not sure if I got a bad batch or what. I will wait and see your reviews.
These are really pretty fall shades. I hope the mattes do better than some of the other recent releases.
Sidekick and Early Bird might fill some gaps for me. Swatches give impression they’re pigmented if a tad dusty. At this price point, worth a shot.
I’ve been waiting to see your swatches since your skintone is much closer to mine than Marlena’s! I love the colours so far and they are perfect for the season! Can’t wait to se the actual reviews on these!!
Pocket Change, Lucky Penny, Sidekick and Cabin Fever have caught my eye and they swatch pretty well. Looking forward to your review and comparisons of these and the foiled ones Christine 🙂
Certainly autumnal shades, the mattes look a little thin, but Lucky Penny looks like a divine shade – paired with an olive green that would be beautiful.
It feels like they are filling out their warm shades just in time for fall.
That said Pocket Change and Early Bird maybe the only one I would buy as I have enough browns already.
Sidekick and Early Bird look pretty good, and not likely duped within my stash, I’m thinking. But I have a feeling that my ABH Mod Ren palette and multiple MAC Pro Pans I’ve accumulated over the years probably cover everything else!
When I saw the promo email, Faux Fur and Bandwagon were interesting colours to me.. just the kind of crease colours I totally love… but the performance issues with MUG mattes.. The rest are not speaking to me, too dupeable. I think Lucky Penny is pretty.
The colors look great for fall. I liked tan lines, faux fur and cabin fever more than the others. Oh bandwagon too. Basically all the matte ones. 🙂
Ooh! Goodness knows I love a good matte eyeshadow, and these fall colors are beautiful to boot!
They look nice but very dupable and I have like so many colors in my stash already like this. But not bad for fall
These look amazing i cant get over how pigmented they are! im loving lucky penny gorgeous! <3

Lucky Penny is very nice!
I really love Makeup Geek, so I look forward to the reviews. May ask for a few of these for my birthday if they perform well. Sometimes I even love the ones that have gotten lower grades (B range) so I’m eager to see how they do…
may I say that they look different on when they are put in the palette together or individually. Like its hard to tell which one is Bake and Bandwagon in the pan. The individuals are much dark. Can you make the individuals in the same order than in the pan please? Thank you !!!!
