So last week the Manny MUA x Makeup Geek eyeshadow palette launched on Makeup Geek and on Beauty Bay. Because I live in the uk I thought I'd get it off Beauty Bay, now let me tell you I spent ALL day refreshing the page trying to get one of these! I finally managed to get one aswell as a headache as I was on my phone all day refreshing it!
At first I wasn't going to get this palette but i'm SO glad it did. The shadows are just as amazing as always. Makeup Geek is 100% my favourite eyeshadow brand, I reccomend them to everyone. If you haven't tried any yet a suggest you get a few and try them out (CLICK HERE to read my makeup geek eyeshadow collection and my top 10. I have gotten more eyeshadows since then but my favourites remain the same).
It has 9 shades, 3 which are permanent makeup geek shades and 1 pressed pigment that is a permanent item in a loose form, then 5 colours which manny created.
The first row..
ARTEMIS - this is one of the shades manny created. It's described as a muted champagne yellow with a shimmery finish, this shadow is very similar to Nylon by mac. I've been using this to highlight my inner corner, my brow bone and I've also used it as a cheek highlight.
BEACHES & CREAM - this is one of makeup geeks permanent shades, manny uses this shadow in nearly every makeup look he does so he said he had to include it in the palette, it's a very pigmented shade! It's described as a soft peachy beige with a matte finish. This is a nice colour to start your looks off with by popping it into the crease.
LUNA - this is a shade manny created for the palette, it's a beautiful shade. I like to use this as my lid colour this is described as a medium rose gold with a foiled finish. Manny said he wanted a shade in between In the Spotlight & Grandstand which are permanent makeup geek foiled eyeshadows.
The middle row. COSMOPOLITAN - this is a permanent makeup geek shadow, I was happy this shade was in the palette because I don't own this on, it's described as a gold-flecked medium rose with a shimmery finish.
SORA - this is another shade manny created for the palette, it's a gorgeous burnt orange shade, my favourite shades for my crease! This shade is described as a medium earthy terracotta with a matte finish.
FRAPPE - another permanent makeup geek shade, this is another great crease colour, it's described as a medium maple brown with a matte finish.
Now for the last row. INSOMNIA - this shade is a permanent loose pigment makeup geek sell, for the palette they made it pressed. This colour is so beautiful, it's similar to mac blue brown pigment but it has more blue to it. It's described as a warm red brown with blue reflects and a foiled finish.
MARS - this is the reason I bought this palette. This shade manny created for the palette. It's a very very pigmented Cherry red shade. On the skin it does look more raspberry/pinky but the more you put on the redder it gets. It's beautiful, it's described as a deep cherry red with a matte finish.
APHRODITE - this is the last shade in the palette, manny creates this shade also. It's described as a deep plum brown with a matte finish. It's very pigmented and super dark. It finishes the palette off nicely.
Overall this is a really nice palette. I go to New York next week and I think this might be the only palette I bring along with me. It's pigmented and all of it's colours work with one another! I've only created a few looks with it but I can't wait to try more!
So there are the swatches. Keep your eyes on the makeup geek and beauty bay for this palette. It's a really good palette to have. Congrats to Manny on this palette! I'm obsessed!
