Since I joined snapchat, I have been following Manny MUA and I absolutely love his snaps. Manny is a big US Youtuber and partnered with US brand Makeup Geek to create a palette. One night I got completely carried away and decided to get on board with the latest re-stock and I snapped up the Manny MUA Makeup Geek Palette, and I am not at all sorry. It is gorgeous!  Here’s the low down with lots of pictures and swatches. BUY IT HERE

Swatches

Artemis, Beaches & Cream, Luna:

Artemis, the first shade is very beautiful and extremely similar to the Chardonnay shade in the BECCA Jaclyn Hill champagne collection eye palette that launched after this. I adore the shimmery shades in this palette. I am obsessed with Luna – it is full of pearlised pigment for a super high shine pink taupe. Love it!

Cosmopolitan, Sora, Frappe:

Cosmoplitan is a current Makeup Geek shade – and I love this too – it’s rose gold so of course I do! Sora is a gorgeous soft matte orange shade, and again, as orange eyeshadow is my new obsession, I adore it!

Insomnia, Mars, Aphrodite:

Insomnia is incredible. It’s a duo-chrome shade that I am slightly scared to wear to be fair, but it is literally amazing to look at! It is an existing shade but only available as a pigment – so the pressed version is exclusive to this palette. The last 2 shades are matte – a stunning cranberry shade, Mars, and the most amazing plummy brown, Aphrodite. LOVE!

This Manny MUA Makeup Geek Palette is a serious win for me, which is good because it cost a fortune. The palette was $45, then I had to pay packaging and international shipping, and then I got stung with a £15 customs charge! Oh well – that’s the life of a makeup junkie! It’s here in the US and UPDATE now here in the UK too!

  • Though this is a LOVELY palette I do find it has loads of fallout. Pigmentation though and blendability is excellent !
