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

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

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.

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.

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.
