Dupe It | MAC’s MSF in Stereo Rose
We all have it. A yearning for that one product that got away. Whether we weren’t into the line or the product at the time, the end result is the same: an utterly insatiable lemming. Now that so many lines are jumping onto the mineralized and highlight bandwagons, it’s easier than ever to find some great alternatives for one of the more coveted LE MSFs, MAC’s Stereo Rose. I have put together a few delish options for those of you looking to dupe it. Click “Read More” below for more details and pics….

Top Row: MAC’s Stereo Rose
Bottom Row, L-R: Laura Geller’s Pink Grapefruit, ignore this colour as I didn’t mean to include it, DuWop’s Pomegranate, DuWop’s Apple, LORAC’s Exposed.

Laura Geller’s Blush – N – Brighten in Pink Grapefruit
This is definitely the same tone as MAC’s Stereo Rose. It is a bit darker though. A light hand could make this one of the closer dupes. It is just a touch less shimmery than Stereo Rose. Pink Grapefruit isn’ the least bit chunky or glittery. It goes on quite smooth. A good dupe choice for med dark to dark complexions.
Shade: Beige/ mauve/ pink shimmer
Price: $29.50USD/.32oz
Available: Sephora.com

LORAC’s Baked Matte Satin Blush in Exposed
Shade: Peachy pink
Price: $24.00USD/.017oz
Available: Sephora.com
This is a new product from LORAC. It is breathtakingly beautiful. I was totally mesmorized by it at Sephora. The name is a bit confusing as the word “matte” would seem to suggest that it is shimmer-free, but it is just the opposite. It goes in incredibly smooth for a sheen of colour that provides a great glow, as well as nice, natural, buildable colour. A great choice for light to fair complexions. Zero chunky glitter. This new blush comes in two other shades and I plan on picking up both. They are all smashing!

DuWop’s Blush Booster in L-R: Apple, Pomegranate
Shade: Pomegranate: shimmering coral/ Apple: Soft shimmering rose
Price: $22.00USD/0.12oz
Available: Sephora.com and Beauty.com
These are intended to be worn alone for a sheen of colour or over other blushes to give that pearly glow. I tend to wear them on their own, because they are just that beautiful. Like the first two products, these are free of chunky glitter. These go on sheer, but build colour very easily.
Apple: This is definitely the lighter of the two and my suggestion for porcelain gals. It is noticeably cooler than Stereo Rose. It is more of a light to medium pink.
Pomegranate: This is your closest match to MAC’s Stereo Rose, in my opinion, but it is a bit more coral. A fantastic warm, coral-tinged rose. Great for medium skin tones.
Hope that helped. I have more MSF dupes coming shortly. Have any of you tried these? What did you think?
