I recently purchased a few more eyeshadows and a blush from Makeup Geek. As I usually do, I figured I'd swatch them for you & show you a couple of looks I've done with them.
The colors I picked up this time are:
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows
  • Jester - This is a foiled shadow. It's an olive green with gold reflects.
  • Mai Tai - This is a duo chrome. It's a peach with pink and purple duo chrome.
  • Shore Thing - Matte. Mint green.
  • Concrete Jungle - Matte. Deep gray with purple undertones.
  • Bedrock - Matte. Medium Gray with brown undertones.
  • Cherry Cola - Matte deep brown with strong red/plum undertones.
  • Bliss (Blush) - Coral, matte.
(swatches left to right: Bliss, Mai Tai, Jester, Shore Thing, Bedrock, Concrete Jungle, Cherry Cola)
Makeup Geek Eyeshadows & Blush

Jester is very smooth and pigmented. 
Mai Tai is smooth but sheer, it really needs built up or applied over a base to be as intense as I'd like. 
Shore Thing is another that needs built up to be intense. Without a sticky base, it's very sheer. I used glitter glue in the look I'll show you below.
Concrete Jungle, Bedrock and Cherry Cola are all very pigmented, blendable and smooth.
Bliss is not pigmented. It's very sheer, but buildable and blendable. I really like it, though I know some prefer really pigmented blushes. I personally prefer a more sheer formula, so I love it.
Swatches
I've done looks using all of these, and I'll post them below.
You can find these shadows and the blush at makeupgeek.com.

    I love green make up with red hair....(I have auburn traces and green really enhances the red). I wish I had your blending/make up skills. Do you do videos?

      Yes, green makeup is always awesome with red hair! Thank you so much. I don't do videos, I've thought about it but I haven't done it yet!
