The Dupe Thread: If you have... you don't really need...

[lcristina]

I agree with the steamy/shimmermoss comments. Sorta. Heh. My friend has Steamy and I have Shimmermoss. When they are placed together they look the same but swatching them on our different skin tones gives them a subtle difference. I agree that if you have one you don't really *need* the other.

I would also like to know this ! Was wondering if Femme Fi was closer to Shroom or Ricepaper ...

On me they are not similar (I am NC200). Femme Fi is a cream colour whereas Ricepaper is a more yellow peachy gold colour. Personally I love Femme Fi, I think it's one of the best highlighters I've ever tried. So soft!

I prefer Femme Fi! It's more shimmery and a lot brighter. Rice Paper doesn't do it for me anymore! x

You do!
They are all quite different. Bronze is darker and its more brown. Time & Space is more orange based.

Woodwinked and Time & Space are pretty similar, but Woodwinked is more golden and Time & Space is more coppery.
I don't think you need both unless you just love those kind of colors.
That said, I have and love all 3.

Patina has better color payoff and is more metallic/goldy ... & more brown
Warming Trend is lighter taupe
I tried Blonde's Gold pigment as a dupe but it's actually warmer tan/gold...
which is not a bad thing... quite beautiful

I posted a swatch comparison in the swatch thread today

Is there a lot of difference between those:
If I have Pinch O'Peach do I need Pink swoon?
If I have Springsheen do I need Pachykeen?
NC25 for reference

Pinch O Peach is warm and peachy-pink on me, whereas Pink Swoon is definitely just pink.
I'm fair, and these give me very different looks.
Springsheen is a pinky peach color, while Peachykeen is a reddish peach, which almost looks like a really warm pink on me. Very different, IMO.
It depends on what looks you like/are going for as to whether you need them or not though.

Peachykeen and Springsheen are very different on me as well. I thought they'd be similar, but they're not really.

I don't know of any other shadows that are similar to Cranberry. HTH!

Is Plum Dressing a pro item? If not, then try that one. Its a bit more purply than Cranberry, but I think they are very similar. I have both. Here is a picture:

Can someone recommend a Dupe for the gloss side of
LustreTwin : "Ripe and Ready / Soft and Lush"

"yellow pink with gold pearlized pigments"
its so gorgeous... damn MAC and their LE

TIA!

 

[AppleDiva]

Is UD Jones and Evening Aura (very similar)? EA shows up as gold on me, not peach nor orange.

 

[nycmto]

Is this a good dupe of Smoke and Diamonds? it's only around 25cents

 

[Sario]

Anyone know of a good dupe for gentility l/g? Closest I've been able to get is instant gold lustreglass but gentility seems a tad bit peachier. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Does anyone know of any dupes for Fire Spot e/s from waaaaay back when?

I love that color and I do not know how I can get my hands on one.

There's a NARS eye shadow duo that has an orange shade that is very similar to Firespot.
