I've seen a lot of amazing eyeshadows and palettes in my time, and for some reason, Makeup Geek shadows excite me the most. Maybe it's because I've been following Marlena since her first video YEARS ago, but I feel like she's a friend, and I'm so proud of how far she has come!
So as you can imagine, when I heard about the Mannymua x makeup geek palette - I was SO excited.
I expected nothing more than Marlena's usual quality of shadows, and I could not have been more thrilled with this palette. (Even after import and shipping disasters!)
The palette consists of 9 shades - each as beautiful as the next. Insomnia (the beautiful green shade) is one of my all time favourite pigments from Makeup geek, so I was beyond happy Manny decided to make it into a shadow!
There are 3 existing Makeup geek shadows, and 6 new shadows that Manny created exclusively for this palette.
Here are some swatches of my favourite shades:
These are the shades I probably reach for less (bar the shade cosmpolitan which is a beautiful rose gold shade) - but I would say Frappe is a BEAUTIFUL blending shade!
What I love most about this palette:
- Perfect for me since I love dark, coppery eyes
- Beautiful blending shades, as well as statement colours - so it's ideal to take on holiday!
- The shadows are so smooth, blendable, and incredibly pigmented
- Last for hours - with ZERO primer needed
- Shades are amazing - with some trusty shades from MUG's existing range
I just wish it wasn't limited edition! I would say that my only, and i mean tiny, hesitation was that I expected the shade Mars to be more cranberry, however, on me, it just looks super red, so out of all shades, this is probably the one I reach for the least.
Hope you enjoy!
