Ok, in your opinion which is the most unique color of MAC (blush, shadow, lipstick….) that cannot easily be duped?

Re: Unique/irreplaceable MAC shade?

Well, not having tried all shades out there I still think most MAC blushes and lipsticks can be duped. But maybe some of their eyeshadows could not. On top of my head:

Gorgeous Gold e/s
Solar White e/s
Mothbrown e/s
Melon p/m
Rose p/m
Old Gold p/m

Re: Unique/irreplaceable MAC shade?

I think Club e/s is pretty impossible to dupe. Really, any of the duochrome colors.

And Old Gold pigment would be near impossible, I would think.

I'm not 100% sure on the name, but I think it was White Wheat e/s. It was in the Inventive eyes quad. Nymphette l/g is also another one imo.

Re: Unique/irreplaceable MAC shade?

i would say most of the irridescent shades are hard to duplicate. Things like Vellum, Club. I have yet to find a dupe of Satin Taupe. Many of the neutral browns are very easy to find a dupe of.

you took the words right out of my mouth Two Faced label Whore is an almost perfect dupe, and I agree - I think it is much better in terms of colour!!


Moth Brown - I know one of the reg e/s is used a replacement for this by a lot of people, but the red undertones are just a killjoy for me and not nearly close enough to be considered a dupe. I LOVE this colour so much - damn you MAC make it perm!!!!

Satin Taupe is dupe-able. L'Oreal HIP has a duo called Sassy. The brown half is almost an exact match of Satin Taupe.

I haven't seen or heard of any good dupe for Cosmic, from the Moonbathe collection. And I am really kicking myself for not getting Cosmic while I could.

hmm, good question OP! well i haven't actually looked because I'm not out, and I see it at the CCOs, but Sock Hop? Just cuz it's hard to find glosses that color w/o frost/shimmer/glitter. I'm sure Nars or Smashbox has one if i looked...

There's a color from Flirt Cosmetics that looks pretty much the same as SW. I didn't have my SW to compare, but it looked the same.

Re: Unique/irreplaceable MAC shade?

Solar white for sure, I have two bu's and I'm still scared I'm going to run out.

Blue peep fluidline, kicking myself for not buying it.

Rollickin paint pot and Otherworldly paint pot.

Fleur Power Blush, it just lights up the skin.

Star Violet, one of the first shadows I bought and I'm still in love.

Mauvement pigment, MAC calls it dirty taupe but I always see purple in it!

Electric Eel, can't seem to think of any dupes (other than clarity)

Hi! I see that you live in Seattle and the CCO (Cosmetics Company Outlet) at the Seattle Premium Outlets has both of these. They have been there for months and everything there is 30% off regular price.

Smut. But like I said the red undertone is a complete KILLJOY for me and not nearly close enough to Moth Brown which has no red at all. I dished out and bought a backup Mothbrown instead

Again - Two Faced Label Whore is a dupe for this, and much better quality of colour too - and I LOVE MAC pigments, so thats a pretty big call hehe

Ha! I don't consider it a dupe because it creases like CRA-ZEE on me!! Perhaps thats why I blocked it out of my mind.

One of my coworkers and I were trying to mix things to make Lavender Whip Lipstick last night...it was pretty difficult... I think the closest thing was Up The Amp and Pervette.

Club = Too Faced Label Whore & Nixie Dragon Fly. These two are bigger in size and the Nixie is also cheaper.
