Just got to see this!! Thank you SO much for the love for Makeup Geek! I appreciate your support- wish I could hug you through the screen :) XOXO Marlena
What a great video Dana! I don't hear as much about her brushes. Usually it's all about her eyeshadows! It's nice to see youtubers supporting each other!
This is the first video of yours I've watched, but I just want to say thank you! Because the way you show your products and swatches by cutting away is how I always wish people swatched, rather than just holding up their hand. Can't wait to watch more!
This was so helpful! The line is so overwhelming I haven't placed an order yet and I always trust your recommendations so I feel more comfortable buying from them now! Thanks!! 💕💋
I absolutely love MUG's face buffer brush! It is super soft and I find that I am able to apply my liquid or powder foundation easily. Please do a tutorial using the Vegas Lights pigment!
I dont know how you managed to narrow now the choices but all great ones I also feel like I have all her shadows but they are just amazing as are the pigments and blushes ahe has done such a great job with all her products cant wait for the foiled eyeshadows.. Again great choices loved this video
why does everyone talk like 5.99$ is such a low price? Thats pretty price for a singular eyeshadow I feel, if you buy 4 eyeshadow its already up to 23.96 $. For instance many people feel the Too Faced Chocolate Bar is pricy for 49 $, but if every shadow in the palette cost 5.99 $ the palette woulld cost 95.84 $, put people still talk as ifMakeUpGeek it is super affordable!
Whisper OfAmbition It is affordable as compared to other SINGLE shadows, especially when you consider that the pan size for these individual shadows is bigger than most that you will get in a palette. Palettes are obviously going to be less expensive because you're buying more at once. You can't buy a MAC, UD, or Stila single shadow for anything close to $5.99. Compared to a $16 MAC shadow, these are super reasonable, and the quality is unmatched.
Some drugstore shadows are even more than Makeup Geek. MUG singles are 5.99 and the foiled ones are 9.99. Now MAC single eyeshadows are $10. Anastasia Beverly Hills singles are $12. Makeup Forever singles are $21. Urban Decay singles eyeshadows are $22. Just one 3 eyeshadow compact from Marc Jacobs is $40. Natasha Denona singles are $29. Now in the drug store the quality of eyeshadow is USUALLY shit except Loreal infallible eyeshadows and those are $7.99. So Makeup Geek IS definitely inexpensive.
Kris Stone Actually didn't MAC just drop their single shadow price again?? To $6? That's smart of them, because they have to stay competitive with MUG. I still personally prefer the MUG shadow formula though.
Thank you so much for this video! To be honest, I was on the fence about getting makeup geek eye shadows, but I am so sold :) And I really love how Marlena actually came and thanked you so much for the support. To me, that shows she really cares for the people who buy her products! Again thank you for the review! You have a new subscriber!!
I love makeup geek shadows ..... I use to be a mac snob but I seriously doubt that I will ever buy a mac shadow again. Thanks for the review now I must have her blushes xoxo
I know..i cant bring myself to buy any mac shadows or mac anything, since there are many other good brands that surpas mac..another thing that made me stop buying from mac was their customer service which is awful..
I am a true fan of MG! I love watching videos on the line, and this one was great. I have the majority of her shadows and blushes but only 2 pigments. I also have some brushes which I like too, but I feel the same as you about the blush brush--too small and I don't reach for it at all. Same with the contour brush. Everything else is A++. I should have shares in that company, it's so amazing!
Thank you for making this! I have not ordered a make up geek product yet because I'm so overwhelmed by all the choices! I will definitely be putting in my order this week! Much love from Florida! 😘❤️
I just received the 9 shadow starter kit with the mini z-palette. I can't wait to use them. I was already wearing makeup and couldn't stand the idea of washing it all off. I've been missing your tutorials
Thanks so much for the color recommendations. I've been wanting to try some of MG's shadows; and now thanks to you, I have a good idea of which ones to start my collection with.
I love your videos! Especially the lipsticks under $10. I'm actually loving the Milani Sangria the most! You're so funny how you assume we'll bag on your dirty brushes, they look fine! Hahah. Thanks for the video! Do you think you'll do like a Holiday Sephora/Ulta review as to what to recommend to put on our wish lists? That would be a fabulous idea not sure if it's too late. But I love your recommendations so I would be really interested!
This was SOOO helpful! I'm putting together a Christmas list with some Makeup Geek products because I've never ordered from them before! Crazy I know! Thank you so much for your recommendations!
First time I came across your UA-cam channel & I'm so happy I did. I'm also a HUGE fan of MUG products!! I can't wait to try her new products which will be launched later this year. Her foiled shadows are great too. I haven't come across a product that I dislike. Some shadows I don't use much but I still love the formula. Again, so happy to have found you. 😊
i JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO AGAIN BECAUSE I LOVE MAKE UP GEEK SHADOWS SO MUCH. I WANTED TO SEE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITES AGAIN. I THINK I HAVE ALL THE COLORS EXCEPT THE RIAL BRIGHT COLORS i WOULDN'T WEAR. LOL I HAVE ALL HER BRUSHES AS WELL. I AM A BIG FAN OF MUG.
I love your reviews! I feel like you are a very down to earth person, I love they way you put on ur make up! Your simple and beautiful! I'm still new on make up I do have hooded eyes and it's difficult for me to put on eye liner, it always transfer to my lids and I also have very oily lids no matter what primer I use! I need an advice from you!
If Makeup Geek does a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale I will 100% be making my first purchase!! Love this video, I'll refer to it before making my order :D!
This is so helpful. I only have 2 mug shadows so far, burlesque and goddess and love them both. I want to put together a matte palette for blue eyes and med skin tone that will be basics to use alone or supplement other palettes .
I'm so obsessed with Infatuation. You are totally right in saying it's perfect for many different skin types. I'm more med-med deep in skintone and I love it! Now I'm gonna go stalk MUG for some more goodies that you mentioned! :)
I love MUG too, the quality is amazing, better than MAC in my opinion in many of their products, prices are incredible, made in the USA and still animal cruelty free and some of their shades are vegan friendly. Many people loves Morphe ones, but I asked them about animal testing and have not replied. My support goes to great, ethical companies which unlike MAC and possibly Morphe choose not to do animal testing. Beauty without cruelty all the way. Thanks for this video, I know what to buy next and thanks Marlena, we love MUG. Please do a review on the foiled MUG eyeshadows once they're launched. That'd be amazing. One of my matte fav. from her is Barcelona Beach awesome shade.
Do i have to buy magnets to attach to the shadows and blush pans to stick to the Z palette? I really want to order some MUG products but id like to do it all at once if i need the magnets. Thank you!
So excited! Getting some of the eyeshadows soon 😍can't wait to put make up tutorials on my channel using them! Just subbed ☺️ love your make up here! X x
I have so MANY eye shadows that I feel like I SHOULDN'T buy any more! I'm not sure I will live long enough to use them all at least once in a while! I have hesitated buying any Makeup Geek because I'm afraid I will never use any of my other shadows. I am waiting for the new store to open up so I can see the shadows in person. From the looks of it I will have a field day and then spend the rest of my life making it up to my husband. *LOL* You know this video just made me even more anxious for her to find another location for her store in the Roseville, CA area. Loved your video! Thanks!
I know this is an older video but I am having the hardest time finding good swatches of Bitten and Cherry Cola. Trying to figure out if I need one or both!
Just got to see this!! Thank you SO much for the love for Makeup Geek! I appreciate your support- wish I could hug you through the screen :) XOXO Marlena
Um fan girl moment
Yes! This video is so helpful! I will be making an order soon, and l've screenshot all your suggestions above. THANK YOU! 😘
What a great video Dana! I don't hear as much about her brushes. Usually it's all about her eyeshadows! It's nice to see youtubers supporting each other!
I love Makeup Geek products too!!! They are so amazing, especially for the price.
I LOVE your eye makeup in this vid - perfect!!! :D

Mary Yager Aw :) you won't regret it! They're seriously ahhh may zing
LOL love your enthusiasm for EVERY MUG eye shadow color lol. You're too cute.
I absolutely love MUG's face buffer brush! It is super soft and I find that I am able to apply my liquid or powder foundation easily. Please do a tutorial using the Vegas Lights pigment!
I so agree with you about the lack of good transition colors in most palettes. Your video really makes me want to try Makeup geek now!
I dont know how you managed to narrow now the choices but all great ones I also feel like I have all her shadows but they are just amazing as are the pigments and blushes ahe has done such a great job with all her products cant wait for the foiled eyeshadows.. Again great choices loved this video
Janet Lovell It was hard, haha. I wanted to show 29038402394823 more 0_0 ME TOO
***** Its nice to know im not the only one addicted lol
Oh definitely! I already have several mac pigments and love them....I imagine Marlenas pigments are out of this world great. The colors are gorgeous.
why does everyone talk like 5.99$ is such a low price? Thats pretty price for a singular eyeshadow I feel, if you buy 4 eyeshadow its already up to 23.96 $.

+Amanda Hart I just purchased some of the single shadow pans 2 weeks ago for $10 each. Idk unless they JUST did it. That'd be great if they did tho!!
+Kris Stone yeah I think it literally JUST happened a week ago! I'm def gonna pick up some staple shades even though I prefer MUG :p
I'd love to have some make up geek eyeshadows one day! I just saw the foiled eyeshadows and they all look amazeballssss!
Just got my first order of shadows the other day and will for sure be doing a video on them. They blend like a DREAM!

Danna where do you find that heart that you use on your videos ? Xoxo ... Now I know which pigments to get.

Ocean breeze is amazing with that one and if you have blue eyes it makes them go from 'hello :)' to 'Hellooo ;)'
makeup geek products are awesome!!
