Swatches: MakeupGeek Pigments & Shadows!

Hey Everyone!!!

I have quite an exciting post for you today! I was lucky enough to be able to purchase some of the new MakeupGeek pigments and some more of their shadows! I absolutely adore their shadows and if you would like a full review please click here. Since I love the shadows so much, I just had to try some of the new pigments that just came out not too long ago! Everyone is raving about them on the YouTube and Blogging community, so I figured why not?!

I absolutely LOVE the packaging for the pigments. The cover is a matte black finish and the MUG symbol is actually a part of the cover, not just a sticker!

Each of the pigment jars contain about 2g of pigment product and cost $6.99!

Lets get onto the swatches!!

• All photos are taken in artificial light with flash.
• All swatches are done over Two Faced Shadow Insurance, unless stated otherwise.
• I will use MakeupGeek's description of the shadows followed by my own.

Left to Right: Insomnia, Enchanted, Birthday Wish, & Utopia

Left to Right: Insomnia, Enchanted, Birthday Wish, Utopia

Left to Right: Insomnia, Enchanted, & Utopia

Insomnia with green sheen

Insomnia:

• MUG: Insomnia is a dark chocolate colored pigment has sparkling blue/teal reflects.
• ME: Insomnia is a gorgeous teal/green and brown duochrome. This shadow is comparable to that of Blue Brown Pigment from MAC and Dinospotz from Glamour Doll Eyes.

Enchanted:

• MUG: Enchanted is a light plum containing shimmer.
• ME: Enchanted is a light pink toned plum with shimmer throughout. 

Birthday Wish:

• MUG: Birthday Wish is a light golden peach shade.
• ME: Birthday Wish is a light peachy/rose gold with shimmer throughout.

Left to Right: Utopia alone, Utopia over TFSI, Utopia over TFSI and wet with MAC Fix +, and Utopia over a black base

 Utopia:

• MUG: Utopia is a duochrome glitter pigment that is the perfect mixture of deep browns and antique gold shimmer
• ME: Utopia is a beautiful bronzed gold glitter pigment. This shadow really transforms when it is applied wet and over a black base to a real antique gold look.

Out of these pigments, I have to say that Utopia is definitely the most unique and out of my entire collection, is the most unique pigment/glitter that I own! This pigment transforms from a gold glitter into a metallic gold when it's applied wet and over a black base!

I am a complete sucker for duochromes, so of course Insomnia was a must have! Although there are a large variety of dupes for this pigment, I find that each of them have their own uniqueness to it and not all are exactly the same!

Now for the shadows that I picked up!

From Left to Right: Sea Mist, Unicorn, Purple Rain, & Mango Tango

 Sea Mist:

• MUG:  Sea Mist is an emerald green with shimmer.
• ME: I find this shade of green to be quite unique. I think that it is a combination of an emerald green and teal with shimmer throughout.

Unicorn:

• MUG: Unicorn is a blue purple shadow.
• ME: Unicorn is a light purple with a blue undertone.

Purple Rain:

• MUG: Purple Rain is a matte true purple.
• ME: Purple Rain is a gorgeous deep purple shadow with a matte finish.

Mango Tango:

• MUG: Mango Tango is a peachy pink with flecks of gold.
• ME: Mango Tango is a gorgeous pinky peach shadow with a slight gold shimmer. This shadow would be awesome as a blush!

Left to Right: Peach Smoothie, Frappe, & Brown Sugar

Peach Smoothie:

• MUG: Peach Smoothie is a light peach with a soft matte finish.
• ME: Peach Smoothie is a matte pale peach shadow.

Frappe:

• MUG: Frappe is a medium maple brown matte.
• ME: Frappe is a medium cool toned matte brown.

Brown Sugar:

• MUG: Brown Sugar is a warm shimmery copper brown.
• ME: Brown Sugar is a gorgeous copper based brown with a golden sheen.

Out of this batch of shadows, my favorites are Purple Rain, Sea Mist, Frappe, & Brown Sugar. The MakeupGeek shadows run for $5.99 each.

I hope that you all liked this post! Have you tried any of the new pigments? If so, which are your favorites?
