Makeup Geek X MannyMua Eyeshadow Palette Review and Swatches
Hey
Hey HeyJ
My love for makeup artist/brand collaboration is epic!(
Little Surprise there eh!!) .When I hear about my favourite artist announcing
their range, I have to give it a try for
sure. Being a top Vlogger, MannyMua is well respected in the makeup industry
and when his announcement about his makeup range came out, the whole world, quite
literally went GAGA over it and it involved server crashes! Now, that is some
serious hype! After much eager waiting, I finally got my hands on the Eye
shadow palette!
The packaging is classy! It comes in a
black and gold limited edition box, embossed with the MakeUpGEEK logo and Manny’s
stylish crescent Logo. Manny’s love for all things Sailor Moon is certainly
translated in his palette as well.

With a selection of nine eyeshadows,
and a cardboard--mirrored compact, the palette is perfect for travel and the shades suit all skin tones. Out of
this nine, three are from existing permanent shades from MakeupGeek and five
MannyMua custom shades, and the palette has two foiled eyeshadows.
The Shades:
Artemis(custom) is described
as muted champagne yellow. Its iridescent cream shimmer perfect for
highlighting. It has great
pigmentation, easy to blend, easy application and lasted a good 8 hours.
 |
| artemis,beaches and cream,luna |
Beaches & Cream is a matte
eyeshadow in a peachy nude shade. This one is from the current MakeupGEEK range and Many a times, Manny himself has proclaimed his love for this one. It has
a firm texture and it was challenging to get it on onto the brush.
 |
| artemis,beaches and cream,luna |
Luna(custom) can be described
as a medium rose gold. It is a cocoa brown shade with a metallic finish. It is
highly pigmented giving eight hrs of wear time. Super sleek and easy to apply.
 |
| cosmopolitan,sora,frappe |
Cosmopolitan from the MakeupGeek Collection, is a muted
medium coral shade with warm undertones and some gold shimmer. It has a semi opaque pigmentation,
with a slight dry consistency. I got a good 6.5 hours of wear time. When using
this shade it is better to have a good base colour first and then layer it and
it goes really well with all the shades in the palette.
Sora (custom) named after
the protagonist in Kingdom of Hearts. Like Sora’s Hair, this shade is a medium
earthy terracotta with warm undertones.
With matte finish, this one has a good colour payoff. A very good transition shade.
It blends like a dream and gave me a good 7.5 wear time.
Frappe another
brilliant shade from the MakeupGeek Fraternity. With medium brown tone and
cream undertones it gives you a matte finish. This one is a sheer coverage
shade and was buildable. I somehow felt that the consistency of the shade in
this palette is different from their actual one, which I had bought previously.
 |
| insomnia,mars,aphrodite |
Insomnia (pressed
version of their loose pigments) is described as a medium dark reddish brown
with bluish teal metallic finish. Its highly pigmented and a true testament of
‘A little goes a long way’. Foiled shadows work best when applied using flat
firm brushes. Super easy to apply and It gave me a wear time of 8.5 hrs.
  |
| insomnia,mars,aphrodite |
Mars(custom) is a dark raspberry red shade with cool
undertones and a matte finish. With a grainy/gritty consistency, Mars is
well pigmented and a gentle stroke of your brush is all you need for good coverage. It is inclined more to the
drier side, making blending a little tricky when you do not have a good base
underneath. I got a wear time of 8 hrs.
Aphrodite(custom) can be
described as a dark taupe brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. This
has a semi opaque colour payoff with a dry texture. Like Mars, this one also needs
good base underneath for an even application.
This lasted on me for 7 hrs.
Overall the palette is good pick and
definitely a value addition to your collection. Its versatile and gives you the
benefit of creating a wide range of looks from Nudes to dark Smokey eyes- the
possibilities are quite endless! You can buy it directly from the MakeupGeek Site,
the palette is priced at $45.00 for 0.58 oz and this is lot cheaper than buying
the shades individually as the foiled shadow is priced at $10 per pan and regular
shade at $6 per pan!
I absolutely loved it and Manny has
won my vote for sure! He has definitely left me wanting for more;) !
Until Next Time
Take care

ReplyDeleteHello Ayesha:) both the palette's are epic and its indeed a tough decision to make!!I might be slightly biased to the JH palette because I have always loved her products and as for MannyMua's palette its good value for money and amazingly versatile!
