Makeup Geek eyeshadows

If anyone who doesn't know who "Makeup Geek" is on YouTube, you really need to check her out (click here)! If you do know Marlena, then you know she has recently come out with some of her own makeup products- and you can tell through her videos that she dedicates so much time and effort to producing high quality, yet affordable, products. I had been meaning to try some of her eyeshadows for a while and I finally got around to it!

So when you get the shadows, they come in this adorable sleeve (when I ordered them, only the pans were available...but I believe they now come in compacts). The packaging is so cute, but not over the top. When choosing what shadow shades I should get, I wanted to get colors that I knew I would use but that I didn't yet have in my collection. I chose the shades Creme Brulee and Cocoa Bear, which you can see swatched to the right, respectively.

I can't say enough good things about these shadows. First, they are very pigmented- not that I expected anything less from someone who makes YouTube videos for a living! Second, they have a great texture and are very easy to blend. And finally, they barely have any fallout and aren't powdery. Sometimes more pigmented shadows can run into this problem, along with deeper or more colorful shades. I did not experience this at all with these shadows!

Above you can see a look I created using these two shades. I really recommend these for anyone's makeup collection because they are neutral and can be worn in so many ways. At $5.99 a piece, these shadows are absolutely worth it and rival many higher end brands! If you are interested in purchasing any Makeup Geek products, you can find them here.

I hope this gives anyone who has been interested in Makeup Geek products more motivation to go out and try them! And if you haven't checked out Marlena on YouTube, yet, you should go do that too!

Always stay happy and healthy! :) Tschüss, Katharina
