Makeup Geek Eye Shadows: Prom Night, Cosmopolitan, Corrupt

I’ve been on YouTube for a few months now and a watcher for years and I am always fascinated when someone who got their start on YouTube starts their own makeup line. After watching a YouTube video from Marlena who is the owner of Makeup Geek comparing MAC shadows to her own eyeshadows I knew I had to try some of her products. I actually think I went and ordered a couple that same night I watched the video! I picked up Prom Night which is similar to MAC Satin Taupe, Cosmopolitan which is similar to MAC Expensive pink and Corrupt which is an inky black color. I don’t own the alleged “dupes” but I’ll link to the post where she swatches them side by side below.

I joked around on Twitter last week that I am willing to buy hyped up makeup and test out it’s worthiness for my readers so that you don’t have to waste money (Marc Jacobs anyone?) so I have been on a little kick lately to see which products are worth it. Happily Makeup Geek is beyond worth your money for the following reasons:

• Pigmentation: These shadows are incredibly pigmented and silky smooth in the pan
• Price: Makeup Geek Pan shadows are $5.99 compared to MAC pans at $10 
• Pretty: The colors I picked are so dainty and feminine..also corrupt is by far one of the blackest black shadows I own.

The wear time on these shadows are exceptional. I’m equally in love with the price as well as the color selection of Makeup Geek and you should definitely try them out. I declare that Makeup Geek Shadows are totally worth the hype. Shop away beautiful people! Have you tried anything else from Makeup Geek?
