Makeup Geek Duochromes Review & Swatches

Makeup Geek Duochromes launched last week! Of course I had to get my hands on some of them. 

If you don't already know, Makeup Geek is one of my favorite brands considering their amazing quality and prices! 

This line of shadows and pigments are called duochromes because they reflect two different colors, some of them reflect even more. 

I purchased 3 pigments and 6 single shadows. 

Pigments $12              Eyeshadows $6 

Scroll to bottom for review 

I'll start with my FAVORITE pigment, Hologram! Yes, it has a crack in it :( I'm not sure when it happened but I am hoping it won't completely break open!

"Orangey-pink base with green and gold reflects"
**Update: I emailed Makeup Geek Customer Service and they will be sending me an empty replacement jar when they receive the new and improved ones. They have great customer service! 

Next is Sugar Rush. I was stunned when I swatched this one.. You will see!

"Translucent base with icy blue and purple reflects" 

This is Chameleon. Teal is my favorite color :)

"Deep teal base with gold reflects" 

 Cue the music. Aren't they stunning?! I own two other Makeup Geek Pigments and I can tell you, they are all so beautiful. Not only that but pigments will last a very long time. It only take a tiny amount of the pigment for it to show up like this! 

I have to own the rest of these.. 

Voltage 

"Vanilla base with champagne-yellow reflects"

Mai Tai 

"Apricot base with orchid reflects"

Blacklight 

"Electric purple base with icy blue reflects"

Secret Garden 

"Deep espresso base with bright teal reflects"

Typhoon 

"Deep teal base with green and gold reflects"

Havoc

"Warm red-brown base with teal reflects"
