Welcome to this very special edition of the ‘Weekly Challenge!’ This week we came up with a unique way to thank our wonderful customers by hosting a Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Challenge! So get those MUG Shadows out and be ready to win some AWESOME prizes!

“What if I don’t own the Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Starter Kit?” Don’t worry; the Weekly Challenge will be back to normal next week! We just wanted to take the opportunity to thank our customers, celebrate the Makeup Geek brand, and get you guys some great prizes!

The Challenge

In case you couldn’t tell from the title of this post, the Challenge requires the use of at least some of the colors from the Makeup Geek Eyeshadow Starter Kit.   While the only shadows you can use in the look have to be from this lineup (Cocoa Bear, Mocha, Glamourous, Purely Naked, Shimma Shimma, Purple Rain, Unexpected, and/or Corrupt), you can use some other products such as eye liner, lashes, primer, etc as long as the Starter Kit colors are the primary color.  (Liners should only be accents).  Please be sure to list all the products you used in your look.

These are two categories you can enter into:  One is a more creative/dramatic look and the other is a more simple but glamorous look — something you might wear to work, school, or social gathering.   You can submit one entry for each category.

The Reward

The reward for this challenge is a unique opportunity to try out our yet-to-be released-to-the-public Makeup Geek Lipsticks! The lipsticks are due to be released in about a month, but the winers of this challenge will get to try these out before anyone else!

The two winners of this challenge will get 6 different preview units – which means the lipstick tubes will be missing their logo and cap screen-printing, (we are still working on this!), but they will have name labels and the artwork on the lipstick box will be completed.

Win Preview Units of the upcoming Makeup Geek Lipsticks (no printing on tubes)
