Cheaper alternatives?

[Verient]

Hey, as I cannot afford to buy MAC, I was wondering if anyone knew any cheaper alternatives to the eyeshadows used here:

NYX have some pretty good dupes for a lot of MAC shadows, though I'm not sure if they cover those exact colours you are after it might still be worth having a look

I am on a recently established love affair with Wet n Wild.. some of their shadows rock big time

A really good dupe for espresso is Jane Brownie Points, and the quality is not bad!

Some cheaper drugstore eyeshadows i love are:

Wet n Wild - Fine Wink (its comes in a little pot).. its a very pretty pink-beige champagne color. People say its a dupe for Stila Kitten.. I don't have that one so yea, i can't really tell.
NYX - Root Beer, this one is a very soft taupey color
NYX - Champagne

Milani Sun Goddess = Amber Lights

I don't know the others off hand, but you may wanna check out ULTA and NYX eyeshadows. Those ones I know come really close sometimes.

Or do a google search with the e/s you want to find and type dupe behind the name and see what comes up. Good luck

A dupe for amber lights is Maybelline's 'Chai Latte' quad

The 'crease' colour can be compared to amber lights
Lid to cork
Brow bone to shroom
and outer corner to espresso

Coastal Scents sells "hot pots" and they have a list of MAC dupes they make. They're pretty cheap, too:

Loreal H.I.P, the total line, to me would be very comparable to MAC. The cream liners I.M.O. are better than Shadesticks because they dont dry out. They have paints that are comparable to MAC paints. The jelly balms are similar to the tendertones.The pigments are great and the eyeshadows are very very pigmented. Walgreens always has bogo sales on H.I.P. too.
