I heard some people saying that the BH Cosmetics foil eyes palette is an affordable dupe to the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows. And because I LOVE the Makeup Geek ones I definitely had to try this palette!
Product information:
- It retails for 20.00 $ (on bhcosmetics.com) or 20.00 € (on bhcosmetics.de)
- Contains 28 eyeshadows
- What bh cosmetics says about it: “Highly pigmented metallic finish, Ultra-smooth blendable colors, Allergy Tested, Vegan, Paraben Free, Clinically tested, Non-irritating”
- Total Net Wt. / Poids Net. 44.8 g / 1.58 oz.
- So all in all you pay about 0.45 $ per gram or 12.66 $ per ounce

Formula:
The eyeshadows are nice and pigmented and really easy to work with. They blend beautifully and look foiled like bh cosmetics claims.
But are they comparable to the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows? – I don’t think so. They are very nice but not as intense, pigmented and creamy as the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows. But you can get a more intense look by applying them wet (with water, setting spray, …) or with your finger.
Pros:
- Price
- Nice range of shades
- Easy to work with
- Good pigmentation
Cons:
- Not as intense, pigmented and creamy as the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows
Final thoughts:
I really do like this palette especially for the price tag. I do recommend it because you get so many beautiful colors and they are nice to work with. Yes, the Makeup Geek foiled eyeshadows are better (better pigmentation, more creamy, a lot more foiled) but I still think this is a nice palette to have in your collection.
