Need MAC shadow sub for BE Celestine

A friend of mine asked me to find her a MAC shadow that was similar to Celestine (a champagne-y type color that leans a bit on the lilac side) but a bit more matte. The only one I can think of is Shroom - does anyone else have a suggestion? Thanks!

Celestine is my FAVORITE BE color! I use it for EVERYTHING! Highlight on eyes, on cheekbones, in the pout of lips... I love it!

As for a sub in MAC colors, I can't really think of one. Shroom is a good choice if she's looking for a not-so-shimmery color, but they're not that similar in that one is more lilac (as you said) and one is more beige to me.

I wish I could be more help. lol

I love Celestine, too!! She could try Shore Leave, which is shimmery, but I don't think as much as Celestine. It's also a bit more on the cool side, compared with Shroom. But it's LE, so get it fast!

I have Shore Leave and Celestine and they are actually not alike at all. I don't honestly think you could find a sub in the MAC line.

Maybe one of the pigments?

There is definitely no comparable pigment...any pigment that's close will be just as shimmery. I swatched Shore Leave and Celestine and Shore Leave is much more opaque coverage-wise and it's very frosty. I swatched a few other of my shadows and the closest I got was with a Bourjois e/s single in Brun Irreel, and I used a light hand in swatching. It gives a nice, nude shimmer, like Celestine, but with not nearly as much sparkle. HTH!

Thanks everyone! I think Shroom is about the only option.
