Typographic is much easier to blend and work with, the matte2 finish really makes a difference IMO. Although typographic is a slightly softer black, if you like that look. as compared to Smut, which is stronger and a bit more harsh.

Not too sure if these were mentioned:

If you have Steamy you don't need Waternymph and vice versa
If you have Juxt you don't need MES Fresh Green Mix and vice versa
If you have Deep Truth you don't need MES Sea and Sky and vice versa

**This is based on my skin tone**

Thanks for the reply. I'm so dumb I went through part of my stash today to "inventory" before I placed my final MAC order and i realized that I already have both typographic AND Smut.

Thats when you know that you have too much.

Nothing. Sorry. You could try another brand, but there's nothing close in the MAC perm line.

- Firespot is an orangey with a hint of gold and red. Very different from Coppering which is closer to deep red/orange rust and IMO Coppering has better color pay-off, so yes, they are different enough to warrant having both.

- Smut and Typographic are very different. First Typographic is matte and Smut isn't and Smut is a deep dark blackish brown with a slightly red duo-chrome. I don't own Typographic so I can't give you a wonderful color description, but they are different.

- If you have Twinks and Mulch I'd say you don't have to have Sable. They are a bit different, but how many dark, earthy browns do you really need?

- Waternypmh is WAY more green/teal/aqua than Steamy and with better color payoff. Waternymph reminds me of the Jungle Green Crayola crayon. Anyone remember that color? I understand that everyone has a different opinion on dupes and every color looks different to everyone and on their skin, but those two aren't dupes IMO.

- I'd say Juxt and FGM are close enough, but FGM has the better texture.

- I'd say Deep Contrast is much darker that S&S. The bluer side of S&S is vibrant, true blue while Deep Contrast closer to a navy.

I don't think Dazzlelight is similar to any of those (not having seen Creme de Miel).

Yup.. Skin colour definately makes a difference, I swatched all of these side by side and asked someone who isn't into makeup if they look different and they said 'no'.. Which I knew already.. But just wanted to make sure.. And I said Deep Truth.. As far as I know there is no e/s called Deep Contrast.. I could be wrong.. There is one called Contrast though.. Which is also a dark blue.

I've heard Cherish is a dupe for BNB. Which is good, cause I love my BNB LOL.

If you have Sharkskin shadestick you dont need Graphito paint

If you have Jadeye Fluidline you dont need Delphic Fluidline



I strongly and respectfully disagree. I'm sorry! I have both humid and greensmoke..and they are VERY different. Humid is very bright and vibrant where as greensmoke is darker and a glittery (damn lustre shadows and their fallout!)


My two cents...

Sumptuous Olive/Henna (ugh...regret regret regret!)

Knight/Knight Divine

Mulch/Romp

Shroom/Femme Fi

Wishful/Naked Lunch

Are there any good dupes for Et Tu, Bouquet from Rose Romance? They still have it at my counter and I am wondering if I should get it before it's gone.

I didn't buy it because it reminded me of Seedy Pearl which I never use anyways. I wonder if Seedy Pearl or Nanogold could be dupes? Any opinions on that?
