REVIEW & SWATCHES | Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows...WORTH IT???!!!
**********************************************
Spoiler ALERT! These eyeshadows were a complete FAIL for me! If you have oily lids or creases on your lids....then buyer beware! These crease on me no matter what I do or what I try.
And the higher price tag makes it harder to swallow. They are the same price as a MAC Eyeshadow Pan - $10 a pop. This is due to a different and more expensive formula than the original Makeup Geek eyeshadows. So not worth the 70% price jump!
These are in need of improvement all the way around and I am disappointed in the YouTube sycophants that are raving about these eyeshadows without letting us know the PROs and CONs.
UPDATE: WOW! I did not expect this resounding response to this video! It seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the eyeshadows (foiled and even the originals).
Remember, I am reviewing based on my experience and the overall value/quality of the eyeshadows. Of course there will be those who enjoy the eyeshadows and have no issues with creasing.....still I can't say I would recommend the eyeshadows (dry lids or oily lids) because there are still issues with the formula that need to be addressed. I won't recommend them based on the off chance that they may work....the inconsistency of the formula would make me say wait until they are reformulated and improved.
There are some people that find these useable and I am happy they can enjoy the eyeshadows! But alas the inconsistency of the formula makes me weary. I shouldn't HAVE to use my fingers and all kinds of magic to make something as simple as an eyeshadow work for me.
BUT the biggest thing I am taking away from the comments is that people are OVER YouTube gurus who rave and praise products blindly....some of the reviews out there are very misleading so watch them with a grain of salt. I am not the best but I DO try my best to share pros and cons and give you good info that you can use to decide if you wish to purchase a product. Money is money and we don't want to waste it right?!
P.S. I filmed this review 3 different times....I wanted to make sure I shared the key points without being too negative. Sometimes it's hard to find the right words that won't offend companies....and of course there are always people who won't agree with my views....but that doesn't change my experience.
