Makeup Geek Vegas Lights Collection

Howdy all,

I am so excited to tell you about the new Vegas Lights collection by Makeup Geek. I ended up ordering the entire collection: palette and 5 pigments. I wore all the shadows in the palette so I also have a look along with first impressions :)

The goods: 





Pigments in order of appearance: 
Nightlife 
Liquid Gold 
Jackpot 
Pokerface 
Vegas Lights 

The Swatches: 


I bring you the palette swatches, from top to bottom: 
Bada Bing
Desert Sands 
Mirage
Roulette
Sin City 
Cassino 
First Impressions: I had so much fun with these shadows. I an not sure that I would have picked all of these individually but I am so glad they come together. I do find desert sands to be a bit powdery but it's not too bad. They are all very pigmented and easy to blend. I really could not say enough good things about these. 


These are the pigment swatches, from top to bottom:
 Nightlife 
Liquid Gold 
Jackpot 
Pokerface 
Vegas Lights 

Holly molly are these pigmented. I am new to pigments and these don't come with sifters to I am getting pigment all over the place, lol. It is a bit annoying but I will get better with them. I have not played with these yet, but I will have a full review once I use them :) 

The look: 


Using the Vegas Lights palette I first primed by eyes with Urban Decay primer potion, and used Mac's paint pot in painterly as a cream base to cancel out the pigmentation on my lids. From the palette I first took Desert Sands and blended it into my crease, next i took Bada Bing into my outer corner and blended it into my crease about 1/3 to 1/2 of the way. I then placed Sin City on my lid and blended out the edges and blended the same shadow on top of my crease (making sure not to cover up Desert Sands). Next I used Mirage as a browbone highlight and placed Casino on the center of my lid. Finally, I placed Roulette on my lower lashline. 

I really liked the look that came out and I hope that some of you like it as well! You will have to let me know how YOU are using these shades and post your looks or links to them :)
