Replacement for Makeup Geek Shadows.

Post by Anna_C » Sun Nov 17, 2013 10:04 pm

Hi Everyone,

I am new to SN and trying to find a natural replacement to some of my beloved eye shadow colors that I don't want to use any more due to their ingredients. In particular, I am looking for some transitioning colors from Makeup Geek. These are Peach Smoothie, Creme Brulee, Cocoa Bear, Mocha and Preppy. I am really used to these colors and they are essential in my makeup routine. Will really appreciate your help in finding SN replacement for them.

Kind Regards,
Anna

Hi! Based on the pics I' suggest to take a look at Latent (Preppy?), Mousse(Mocha?), Chase, Bareback, Stag, Terra, Silhouette, Exposed and no idea about Cocoa Bear. Check swatches and color descriptions, hope they help you to find the substitutes. I managed to replace all but one of my faves by SN shadows, but imho it is ok to have one imperfect shadow if most of your beauty routine is perfect ;-)

Those are all great suggestions above.
Here's some pics of a lot of the matte browns SN has, which seems like is what you are looking for:
