Hey Guys,
Today I am going to share my thoughts on the Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows. I got these shadows back around Christmas when Makeup Geek was doing a 12 days of Christmas sale. I got these 6 foiled shadows for $30.00. They are normally $10.00 each so this was an awesome deal. As many of you know, these foiled shadows got a ton of hype in the beauty blogger/YouTube world. Because of this, I was super excited to try them out. I was also happy because Makeup Geek is cruelty free. Keep reading to hear my thoughts!

On to my thoughts:
As you can tell from the swatches above, these are super pigmented on the skin especially applied with your fingers. I prefer to use a makeup brush so they aren't AS pigmented that way but still very pigmented. These foiled shadows are very soft to the touch. I don't know if it was just me or if others feel this way as well but I wasn't as impressed once I wore these shadows on my eyes. The reason for this is that they creased really bad on me and seemed to fade a little bit. I was really shocked about this. My friend El (from The Beauty Isle) got these same shadows and did not have this issue. Because of the creasing, I really didn't love them and was kind of disappointed in them.
Here are some looks that I created using some of the foiled shadows:
