Recently, I hauled a bunch of Makeup Geek eyeshadows, which came in the bundle of the “Makeup Geek Ultimate Palette.” So for now, here is a little preview and swatches of the shadows. As always, I will bring in-depth reviews and EOTDs on all these shadows soon, so stay tuned for that!!
EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW (almost) Today I am sharing with you my Makeup Geek eyeshadow collection! I didn’t realise until editing the footage how much my nails actually needed repainting — I’m.
After showing off my makeup geek palette in my last video I wanted to do a in-depth video showing and talking about all the shadows in my palette. (excuse my half washed out face,lighting was.

Ever since Makeup Geek launched within the UK in November last year thanks to Beauty Bay, I’ve amassed quite the collection. I’ve always been dying to try the Makeup Geek eyeshadow range as I’ve only ever heard amazing things about them, but I didn’t want to order directly from their website as I didn’t want to be stung with hefty customs fees so I was elated when Beauty Bay began.

I first got into makeup geek shadows when I saw someone on YouTube use them. They have became so popular within the YouTube and beauty blogger communality and always raved about if you have never heard of this brand then your seriously missing out they are definitely worth every little bit. I was very fascinated on how pigmented and bendable they were considering they range from £4.95-£7.95 (www.beautybay.com) which is so reasonable and a great way to build up your own palette, they are a great dupe for The Mac cosmetics shadows as well! I personally think they are even better then all the high end ones you can get that cost 10 times more then what makeup geek does.

There’s a great selection of shades and finishes to chose from you have mattes, sparkles, duo chromes, shimmas & foiled effects as well. All together I have a total of 43 shades in 2 Large ZPalettes if you haven’t heard of ZPalette it’s a customisable palette created to store your makeup it has a magnet base that you can clip your pans onto for safe keeping. I also this from beauty bay as well at the price of £15.95, you can fit 27 makeup geek shadows in the large one. Thing thing I love most about this brand is how great quality it is and the price too! I can’t say enough good things about this company and I highly recommend you get start one up if you already haven’t. My favourite makeup that I literally couldn’t go without now!

After sharing all the information and details about the recent Makeup Geek rebrand in the introduction post, here I compared old and new rebranded shades. You can watch the full review on my Youtube channel, where I talk you through each shade and how it performs on the eye too. In this post I will show you the Makeup Geek neutral eyeshadow swatches and rebrand comparisons.

The Makeup Geek neutral palette contains 27 matte and one satin eyeshadow. I borrowed the next image from Makeup Geek’s Instagram and noted with a * the shades that were already present in the round pan collection. In the swatches below the Underlined names are the NEW rebranded shadows.

1st row: pale shades

So Pale is a very light, slightly warm toned bone shade. The new and old are identical
Vanilla Bean is another light shade, but the new one has a slightly more rosy undertone than the old one. It is difficult to capture on my light skin.
Shimma Shimma is the satin shade of this palette. The original was a straight up shimmer, whereas the new one is more of a satin and again has a slightly more rosey undertone.
Banana Split is a pastel yellow shade that contains more white than my beloved Rapunzel and Mirage.

2nd row: cool toned neutrals

Bedrock is a very cool light brown, almost grey I’d say. It is an original shade but I do not own it. It is also quite close to the shade Brownie Points.
Clean Slate is one step darker and a bit more brown. I don’t own anything similar.
Take for Granite is darker and more grey, as you can see in comparison with Grunge which already is very cool toned.
Smoke Signal is a very dark grey, almost black in the pan. However you can see that compared to the black shade corrupt, it is just a dark grey.

3rd row: neutral brown eyeshadow

Makeup Geek Roulette Swatches

Beach Please is a light neutral brown, and surprisingly there was no similar shade in the old line.
Latte As Usual is a classic transition shade, which is nothing like the old Latte, but closer to the more recently released Creased.
Espresso Yourself is a beautiful deepening shade, with a slightly more yellow undertone compared to the og Mocha.
Dark Roasted is the darkest brown, slightly more neutral than the old Dark Roast.

4th row: warm neutral shades

Creme Brulee is one of my most used transition shades, and I have a significant pan in old shadow. The new version is less warm than the old one.
Honey Badger is a very warm shade, close to the og Sora.
Cheetah Bear is the rebranded version of the best seller Cocoa Bear. The old shade name was dedicated to Marlena’s ex-husband and she rightfully decided to rename it. The new shade is very similar to the old one.
Chocolate Wasted is a dark warm brown that is stunning and new in the line up.

5th row: purpley neutrals

Makeup Geek Sparklers Swatches

Prim and Proper is the lightest of the purple-toned nudes. It is lighter than Petal Pusher.
Blushing Beauty is even a bit darker than Petal Pusher and a strong cool pink.
Vintage is a dusty shade, very similar to the og Vintage, even though the formula seems improved.
Americano has taken a more purple tone in the rebranded version, and the formula seems improved.

6th row: red toned neutrals

Cupcake got a major make over, and got darker and warmer than the og Cupcake.
Getting Figgy with it is a new shade in a beautiful velvety formula. Gorgeous!
Bitten used to be one of my favorites. The new version is more brown and warmer than the og. I noticed the difference on my eye but not everyone did, so I might be exaggerating.
Give Me the Dirt is the darkest here, even darker than the og Aphrodite. I added Cherry Cola to this comparison because I miss it. RIP Cherry Cola, luckily I have a back up.

7th row: mustard neutrals

Had me at Yellow is a new shade, a light mustardy yellow.
Tiki Hut is a very underrated shade, great transition. The new one is pretty much identical to the old one.
Deja Brew is a gorgeous brown, beautiful formula and a nice yellow tone to it.
Espresso Yourself is yet darker, and you can see the difference with the other dark browns in the palette.
