I hope this will be helpful to those who fell seriously in love with "Fun N Sexy." It's not a perfect duplication, but it's the closest I've been able to get.
DUPING FUN N SEXY: I've discovered that "Full Fuchsia" is closer in color to "Fun N Sexy" than I'd originally thought. It's possible to apply it so it looks fairly similar.
You’ll need the following:
MAC “Full Fuchsia” lipstick
MAC “Lustrewhite” Lustreglass
Pure Luxe Cosmetics Pure Shimmer in “Sequin” (available at
Flash Intro Page)
MAC “Frozen White” pigment
In a small sample jar, combine approximately equal portions of “Sequin” and “Frozen White,” and mix well.
Apply a light coat of “Full Fuchsia,” then blot. Lightly apply the Sequin/Frozen White mixture to lips, then apply Lustrewhite as desired.
OR, you can dip your Lustrewhite brush in the mixture, then apply to lips.
This won’t look *exactly* like “Fun N Sexy,” but it’s darned close, at least on my NW15 coloring. Since “Full Fuchsia” is an Amplified Cream, it is more pigmented than “Fun N Sexy,” but blotted down, it looks similar.
I realize that this sounds like quite a bit of work, but if you, like I, love “Fun N Sexy” but can’t get a backup, it’s worth at least a try.
