Makeup Geek Week - Foiled Shadows Part 2

Makeup Geek foiled eye shadows

I reviewed the first set of ten Makeup Geek Foiled eye shadows here.  They've gotten a lot of use and I really recommend them.  When I saw that a new set of ten were coming out I jumped on them immediately.  Where as the first set contained mainly neutrals, this lot feature a few brights mixed in with some beautiful pastels.  

Foiled shadows are pressed shadows that mimic the effect of applying a pigment wet (foiling).  These ones feel super creamy but are a powder.  These ones look super metallic and are very opaque with one swipe but can be built up to greater effect.  Because they are oilier than a normal shadow they can crease but a good primer and careful placement prevents that.

I know, I know, more eyeshadows!  I just love eyeshadows and making palettes.  I bought all of the Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows as soon as I was able to.  As the name would suggest, they are really metallic and look like they've been foiled (used wet) even when dry.  They feel really creamy and look their best when applied with your fingers.  They blend with brushes just fine but if you want them at their most opaque and shiny then it's fingers all the way.
