MAC dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

[amy_forster]

So, everyone keeps talking about how dupeable the quads from cult of cherry are but I'm struggling to find anyone who actually specifies any actual dupes!

So, basically, my question is....

Do you know of any mac dupes for the shadows in the quads and what are they?

Thankyou for your help ladies!

I believe a dupe for Sharp from the Tempting quad (the bright green e/s) is Sour Lemon from the Pro line.

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

I only purchased the Tempting quad, as I felt like I could dupe the Spiced Chocolate quad, and I wasn't interested in the Shadowy Lady quad. My dupes:

Vanilla p/m in place of Nanogold.
Coppering or Bold & Brazen in place of Brash. (Just depends on what I feel like and what look I'm going for.)
Heritage Rouge p/m in place of Sweet Chestnut.
Handwritten in place of Spiced Chocolate.

Just personally, Next To Nothing reminds me the most of Shroom.
Not that you couldn't use Dazzlelight in it's place, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

They are VERY dupe-able...

Tempting Quad:
Sharp - Bitter
Next to Nothing - Shroom, Sunday Best
Dark Edge - Mystery
Tempting - (perm) or Bronze

Shadowy Lady:
Deep Truth - (perm) or Blue Flame (from Cool Heat if you have it), or Contrast
Lightfall - (it sucks) but Yogurt would work, I like to use Crystal or Digit in place of it with these colors
Smudged Violet - Shale
Shadowy Lady - (perm) or Signed, Sealed

Spiced Chocolate:
Sweet Chestnut - Cranberry
Nanogold - Sweet Lust ... it's close enough

Brash - Coppering
Spiced Chocolate - Embark

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

I wanna buy the Tempting quad just for Sharp. I own Bitter but I can't get it to show up on me without putting Pharaoh Paint Pot underneath

lol...that was my EXACT reason for buying that quad. Then I saw the others in person and got sucked into all three. Sharp is gorgeous. It's super close to bitter in color, but is much more pigmented.

FWIW I have found that a brown e/s (Romp is what I used) over or under cranberry brings it very close to matching sweet chestnut on the eye.

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

This was my opinion of a dupe for spice chocolate. I also posted this in the coc swatch thread

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

i have coppering and i have mystery and embark thats about it for that =[

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

I've found that Heritage Rouge pigment is almost the same as Sweet Chestnut and Copperbeam is good for Brash.

Re: Dupes for the cult of cherry quads...

i found someone posted this in another forum.. don't know how true it is (for the spiced chocolate quad)

dupe Brash with Coppering
Sweet Chesnut with Cranberry
Spiced Chocolate with Embark
Nanogold was just repromoted for the new collections.

Bitter is closer, but the texture is just awful

Rated R is almost identical, but its LE too!

Yup, my thought too! Shroom for Next to Nothing!
I haven't found a suitable replacement for Dark Edge, and Tempting is perm of course.


Spiced Chocolate ~
SWEET CHESTNUT - TWINKS Veluxe Pearl (dirty plum with gold reflects) - Cranberry and Heritage Rouge are much closer dupes

Agreed with everyone else - Coppering for Brash!
There have been lots of debates over Nanogold - I'd just go with Vanilla pigment

And I never did like Spiced Chocolate as colour, its just too red for me, never bothered trying to find a dupe.

Shadowy Lady ~
Two of them are perm, Shadowy Lady and Deep Truth. I'd go with Shale for Smudged Violet, the texture is the same, and I think Smudged Violet is a ad more shimmery, but its close enough. Lightfall was a bitch of colour to work with. Go for Yoghurt (which I also hate) of just find another sheer next to nothing lilac pink in any other brand

Mystery is a good dupe for Dark Edge.
