Milani and Mac e/s: equivalents?

[Laurahead108]

Hi,

Does anyone have a list of which Milani e/s can work as a substitute for which Mac colors? For example, does Milani make a shadow that looks like Ricepaper? or Shroom?

Thanks!

[Brianne]

Milani -----------MAC

Flare -----------Coppering
Clover----------Humid
Classic Beige----Shroom
Storm----------Black Tied
Moonlight-------Vellum
Spice-----------Antiqued
Sun Goddess----Amber Lights
Evening Sky-----Deep Truth (or Contrast, I can't remember)
Garden Mist-----Juxt

There's more, I just can't think of them.

I have a couple Milani eyeshadows and quads (the green one is awesome), but what I really love are their lip glosses (the crystal ones). Everyone always asks me what I'm wearing when I wear those!!

Atlantis is similar to Electric Eel Almondine is a good sub for Filament, it isn't shimmery like Filament is, but it's similar in colour!

[Bootyliciousx]

Milani Icy Plum = Mac Idol Eyes
I have heard Milani Shock purple eyeshadow is similar to Mac stars and rocettes

[CrystalStars]

Is there anymore that are similar? I finally found places to buy these!

[pomegranatesix]

Milani Snowfrost = MAC Vanilla
Milani Evening Sky = MAC Deep Truth

[stevoulina]

I've found these online:

•MAC Brule = Milani Almondine
•MAC Chocolate Brown Pigment = Milani Bronze Dip Loose Eyeshadow
•MAC Jest = Milani Peachy Peach
•MAC Little Madame = Milani Illusion
•MAC Nylon: Milani Classic Beige
•MAC Pink Freeze = Milani Taffy
•MAC Pink Venus=Milani Taffy
•MAC Shroom = Milani Sheer Sand
•MAC Trax = Milani Desire
•MAC Unreally Blue=Milani Blue Jeans
•MAC Vanilla = Milani Snow Frost
•MAC Vapour = Milani Snow Frost

Hope this helps!

I've never heard of MAC "Little Madame" but I think Milani Illusion is similar to a sheerer, slightly pinker version of "Expensive Pink" - ie, basically a "pink champagne" shimmer colour.

Milani Shock = sheerer, more glittery "Stars 'n Rockets" - SnR is MUCH more pigmented, but if hot purple-sheen pink is not a colour you're going to get a LOT of wear out of (I do actually) then Shock is probably the better value...

Milani Moonlight = NICER than MAC Vellum IMHO

Milani Java Bean = a bit like MAC Tempting, in that they're both bronzed browns, but IMHO Java Bean's got more of a warm, rosy undertone to it, whereas Tempting's undertone is a cooler goldish
bronze....

Hope this helps...

I've got the Milani Illusion, I don't know how much is similar to little madame 'cause I don't have this one, but the MAC one is one of the three e/s mineralized of the Rococo L/E.
A friend of mine has got Whim, Little madame and Tres teal.

is milani e/s pigments as good as MACs? I heard that the Milani e/s can fit in the Mac e/s pallettes, is that true? it'd be cool if someone made or had a spreedsheet list or something of the similarities

[♥MiCHiE♥]

Milani Java Bean is closer to MAC's Twinks than anything.

[Devon]

I think that Milani Flare is quite similar to Mac Falling star

[deedrr]

Not milani but jordana beige is a shroom dupe HTH!

[cupcake_x]

Theres one set with 4 browns. The light vanilla-y color looks a lot like Dazzlelight.

Milani is a GREAT brand, especially if you can't afford MAC.

[SweetCheeks]

GREAT thread, I just got Milani's Storm e/s and it is a dead ringer for Black Tied!

Agreed. I check with their eyeshadows b4 buying a MAC´s. The quality of the Milani e/s is awesome.

[mreichert]

Where can you get Milani products from? TIA

[♥MiCHiE♥]

Try Walgreens and Rite Aid.

[noahlowryfan]

can anyone give me a shade in MAC that compares to Milani Ice Blue (or Blue Ice)?

[SweetCheeks]

Does Milani have a color similar to Expresso? Mulch?

[Karen_B]

I've heard that:
Milani Icy Plum-->MAC Shale
Milani Antique Gold --> MAC Sumptuous Olive
Milani Limbo Lime --> MAC Guacamole (?)

One more:

Milani Clover - MAC Humid.

CandyKisses1018, it's true that Milani shadows fit into MAC four- and 15-pans very well, and are super-easy to depot using a flatiron and a straight pin. Other size matches include Lola and ELF singles.

In addition, ELF palettes ($1!) hold MAC shadows as well as all the other dupes. I actually like the ELF palettes better for travel, because they have mirrors - I covered the ELF logos with stickers. (You can take the girl out of the fifth grade but you can't take the fifth grade out of the girl .... )

milani eyeshadows fit in mac palettes perfectly, they are also extremely easy to depot. If you take the sticker off the back there is already a small hole through to the pan, I use a lighter and put the flame directly under the hole for maybe 5 seconds, then turn it over (shadow down) on a towel or something soft, take a pen point and stick it through the hole and the pan separates from the pot easily.
