Beauty Markes, any dupe for it?
What about texture?
Thanks


NARS' Night Fever. It's more expensive, but better IMO. I would get it except that I already have Beauty Marked and I don't see the need for both.

Could you also sub Top Hat?? I know Top Hat isn't as deep a purple though.

i have to disagree with this one...

Jest is VERY pink (but i'm NC 15), while Naked Lunch is definitely more peach. on darker skin tones they might be more similar.

Is there a good dupe for Port Red in MAC? I saw someone suggests MAC Red but I think MAC Red is more bluish.. Am I wrong?

I don't think Swimming & Springtime Skipper are alike AT ALL. IMO, a light sweep of Golders Green pigment is close and IIR what Juxt looks like, I would imagine it would be similar enough to SS to suffice.

Golden Olive pigment and Juxt e/s (thanks Redambition!!) are the closest perm dupes to Springtime Skipper you will find - and I searched high and low, its one of my FAVOURITE colours

Moth Brown - I havent found anything yet that dupes this colour

Smut comes closes, but it's less frosty with red undertones.

Also possibly Root Beer from NYX?

Some of these might be repeated from earlier but I was pasting from my spreadsheet. I always ask MA if they recommend dups for discontinued colors that I am curious about so hope this helps...

clarity instead of electric eel steamy instead of shimmermoss Thunder(original Catherine D)=Seedy Pearl Relaxing=Naked Lunch Prismique= Forgery DBoheimia=Paradisco red in mylady=coppering & passionate FERTILE--> PARFAIT AMOUR blended with a bit of BEAUTY MARKED Eye Shadow. GLEAM and AMBER LIGHTS Eye Shadows blended together. ">SAY YEAH---> GLEAM and AMBER LIGHTS Eye Shadows blended together. NEXT TO NOTHING---> PHLOOF! Eye ShadowGENTLE LENTIL Shadestick is still available, and CONSTRUCTIVIST Paint Pot is the best alternative. Retrospeck instead of Magic Dust(Barbie Collection) Bateau=Brun Innuendo=Shale Almond Icing=VexFrench Grey=Fresh cement shadestick Demi Sweet=Trax Gateaux=Phloof Greensmoke Eye Shadow for Fiction, blend Zonk Bleu and Chill together for Haunting. Stormwatch=Plummage Crème De Violet Eye Shadow for Stomp, Nylon Eye Shadow for Amazon,For Elite, try Woodwinked eyeshadow instead. Banshee: Quarry (greyed pink) with Honesty (bronzed pewter shimmer). It is the closest match that we can recommend for your needs. Hey= anything light like Beaded, or Gleam Howzat= Plumage contrast=Blue Noir Say Yeah eyeshadow is actually hard to replicate - it’s a peach-pink highlighter, very light, but also quite frosty. I would recommend trying Jest or All That Glitters, though. For Goldbit, use VANILLA Pigment or NAKED LUNCH Eye ShadowFab & Flashy - use RULE Matte Eye Shadow over GOLDMINE Eye ShadowShimma - Fresh Cement ShadestickDe Menthe - Humid or SteamyFlirty Number - SATIN TAUPE Frost & TRAX Velvet Eye ShadowsIntoxicate - Shadowy Lady Llama - Blanc TypeMetamorph - JUXT Satin over FROSTLITE FluidlineSensualize - TEMPTING Lustre Eye ShadowSummer Neutral - MAGRITTES Paint meet the fleet=PrintPandemonium=Knight devineRite of Spring = Pink Opal; ; Fun Fun = Pervette; Comet Blue = Turquatic Glitter + gloss; Ms. Fizz = Flashmode (maybe)Lovely Lily = Pink Opal + Violet; Illegal Cargo = perm, try Shale; LE try Thunder, Pearl of the Earth; Pandamonium = Knight Divine; Don’t Be Shy = Well Dressed; Pomposity = New York Apple + Girl About Town; Funtabulous = Flashmode lustreglassOther Worldly = Raizin Patina Eye Shadow is a great dupe for Girl Meets Boy Eye Shadow And Forgery Eye Shadow for Prismique

a Little Folie and brown script are similar to beautyburst

I posted a comparison of beautyburst and a little folie here:

After swatching them today, I think henna e/s and sumptuous olive e/s are extremely similiar. Similar enough that you do not need both. My best friend thought they were exactly the same color, but I do think Henna is a teeny tiny bit lighter. But just a teeny tiny bit.

It's not THAT close - and its a LE.. but smoke and diamonds is relatively close.... but I have both - so they're not tootoo close.. Good luck finding either.. these both were sold out really quickly
