I disagree, Humid is much darker than One Off, it's not just the finish. They don't look the same on me at all, far from it

Noooo. But thank you. I think I'm gonna die. HK was the collection that was out when I entered MAC for the first time, so I was overwhelmed by the eyeshadows & everything, so I didn't get any lipsticks back then... yeeks. I'm sad now.

Re: The Dupe Thread: If you have... you don't really need...

Not sure if this has already been said but....

Naked Lunch is similar to Jest
Romp is similar to Go! (starflash)
Hepcat is similar to Plum Dressing
Pink Opal pigment is similar to Seedy Pearl
Blanc Type is similar to Brule
Emerald Green pigment (pro) is similar to Humid
Green Brown pigment (pro) is similar to Club

I probably have more somewhere but I don't mind having backup/dupes since mac has so many LE's/DC's.

A great dupe for soft brown is tent-a-tint and since its a matte2, t-a-t has better color payoff. I looovvvve soft brown though.

In my opinion, you really don't need rule if you have orange unless you absolutely love oranges, mattes or do a lot dramatic photoshoots. They are slightly different in color, ie orange is very true to its actual tone (not too cool or muddy) while rule is a bit of a rustier, slightly muted orange while still being bright. HTH!

Hope that didn't you.

If you're looking for MAC specifically, try Underage.

Re: The Dupe Thread: If you have... you don't really need...

I have swatched Underage l/g and Angel Cream p/g... I would never have thought to compare the two, because on me they aren't very simliar. Angel Cream is much more coral (although it does go on a lot more sheer than it looks in the tube) while Underage is nude/beige. Both are gorgeous colors, I just don't think I would consider them dupes...maybe they show up different on different people though

Here are the swatches on the back of my hand (I am NW25/30). This is indoor, no flash

Underage on left...Angel Cream on right in both pics:

If you already have:

Urban Decay "X" eyeshadow... you don't need MAC "Melon" pigment
Urban Decay "Blaze" eyeshadow... you don't need MAC "All That Glitters" Eyeshadow

Hi!

Nope, just wondering if it's really similar to something I already have like woodwinked, or retrospeck. I hate getting a color and then realizing it's soooooo close to something I already have.

I didn't know it was permanent either, thanks for responding.

Re: The Dupe Thread: If you have... you don't really need...

If I have Rule and Pollinator, do I need Off The Page?

If I have Bright Future (from the Style Warriors), do I need Crest the Wave?

If I have Da Bling, do I need Maira's Magic?

These 3 questions are absolutely killing me right now. The colors in the makeup art collection are so beautiful and I am craving them but I'm afraid that I already have colors just like it and I won't know just how similiar they are until Thursday. If anyone could answer these I would really appreciate it.

Bright Future and Crest The Wave are quite different. Bright Future is a deep dark yellow gold, Crest The Wave is a softer paler sunshiney yellow. They swatch quite differently. Think like a Gold Dusk pigment vs. Golden Lemon pigment comparison.

Indoor No Flash
Creme Royal vs. Crest The Wave
Bright Future vs. Gold (frost) pigment


Outdoor Natural Light
Creme Royal vs. Crest The Wave
Bright Future vs. Gold (frost) pigment

Re: The Dupe Thread: If you have... you don't really need...

Hi I am new here.
I am looking for the answer for the following question, and by chance stumpled across this forum.

If I have Nars Ondine and Mac pigment Mauvement, should I get Style Snob?

I just bought Style Snob yesterday, and realized it looked quite similiar to Ondine in pans. I wonder if I should return Style Snob, that's why I didn't do a swatch comparison.

If someone can do a swatch comparison, or share their insights, it would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
