Here is the third and final installment of my MakeupGeek Show n' Tell! I am going to be going over the gel liners that I received in this post! If you would like to see the other two posts, please click here and here.
All photos were taken in artificial light.
Swatch photos were done with flash.
Left to Right: Rave & Amethyst
Rave: Rave is an absolutely beautiful gel liner! This liner is taupe with a green undertone and slight silver hint to it. I absolutely LOVE this gel liner and it is almost identical to the MUG shadow in Moondust!
Amethyst: Amethyst is a bright, vibrant purple with a pink undertone.
The MUG gel liners are so smooth and creamy, yet they have amazing staying power. I honestly don't use them for actual liner, but I like to use them in the waterline as well as use them for bases. I find that they do not crease and they stay on the waterline forever! I didn't have any issues with the liners settling into the inner corner of my eye at all! I am so impressed and I cannot wait to purchase more of these liners!
The gel liners can be purchased here for $8.99 and you receive 3 grams of product!

This is the second part of my MakeupGeek Show n' Tell, where I am showing you all of the products I received from MUG! I am going to be going over the pigments in this blog post. You can check out the initial post here, where I show you the shadows!
Each photo was taken in artifical light.
Swatch photos were taken with flash.
All swatches were done over Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer.
Paparazzi
Nightlife
Afterglow
Sweet Dreams
New Years Eve
Left to Right: New Years Eve, Sweet Dreams, Afterglow, Nightlife, Paparazzi
New Years Eve: NYE is a beautiful champagne pigment with tons of gold glitter throughout! This pigment is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of MAC Vanilla pigment but on crack!
Sweet Dreams: Sweet Dreams is a beautiful, almost matte based pigment that has a slight rose tone to it.
Afterglow: Afterglow is a light golden pigment.
Nightlife: Nightlife is a bronze pigment. This pigment would be gorgeous all over the lid for the summer!
Paparazzi: Paparazzi is a black based slate gray pigment with intense silver glitter throughout! This pigments is absolutely stunning and the swatch does not do it justice!
MUG pigments are absolutely amazing and such great quality! Each one that I own is highly pigmented and the last all day! The only issue that I have with them is that there is not a sifter in the pot, so they are quite messy to work with. I did hear that MUG is reformulating their packaging to add sifters though!
The MUG pigments can be purchased here for $6.99 and you receive 2 grams of product.

So I was recently contacted by MakeupGeek to try out some more of their products! The company offered to send me 12 eyeshadows, 5 pigments, and 2 gel liners! I was so flattered and excited to try out more products from MUG, so I jumped on the opportunity! I am going to split this review up into 3 parts, just so that there isn't one massively long post! I am going to start off with the shadows! I really hope that you all enjoy this review and find it to be helpful!

Mermaid
Cinderella
Taupe Notch
Creme Brulee
Drama Queen
Beaches & Cream
Hipster
Latte
Nautica
Bling
Last Dance
Cupcake
Left to Right: Bling, Beaches & Cream, Creme Brulee, Cinderella, Cupcake, Hipster
Bling: Bling is a gorgeous champagne/diamond color with a satin/shimmer finish. This shadow is great for a brow or inner corner highlight.
Beaches & Cream: Beaches & Cream is the perfect transition shade! It's an almost skin tone shadow is is great as a base color to aid with blending. This shadow has a slight hint of orange but it is a more neutral shadow.
Creme Brulee: Creme Brulee is a matte warm toned, light brown shadow. I would compare this shadow to MAC Cork.
Cinderella: Cinderella is a gorgeous light rose gold pink with a satin finish.
Cupcake: Cupcake is a matte dusty rose pink shadow. This shadow would be great to do a smokey eye with and use as a transition color in the crease!
Hipster: Hipster is a cool toned taupe shadow that has a satin finish. This shadow has a slight gray undertone to it.
From Left to Right: Taupe Notch, Latte, Last Dance, Drama Queen, Mermaid, Nautica
Taupe Notch: Taupe Notch is deeper than Hipster and has more of a warm brown undertone to it.This shadow has a satin finish.
Latte: Latte is a matte, warm toned deep brown shadow
Last Dance: Last Dance is a reddened purple with a slight hint of pink. This shadow has a satin finish.
Drama Queen: Drama Queen is a beautiful deep purple with almost a hint of black as a base. This shadow has a satin finish.
Mermaid: Mermaid is a vibrant sea foam/blue shadow. This shadow has a satin finish.
Nautica: Nautica is a gorgeous royal blue with a satin finish.
As you can see, these shadows are incredibly pigmented. The matte finish shadows blend like a dream and I don't ever notice any streaking or skipping in my crease when I am blending. The satin finishes have no glitter in them but have a gorgeous slight shimmer. They are impeccable shadows.
I always use MUG shadows in my everyday wear and I use them a lot in my tutorials as well. I find that I gravitate more to them than my MAC shadows ( I know, shocker!!!).
I would highly recommend you try out these shadows. They are definitely worth every cent!
You can purchase the pan shadows here for $5.99 each. Each pan contains 1.8 grams of product.
