I disagree, Humid is much darker than One Off, it's not just the finish. They don't look the same on me at all, far from it

Noooo. But thank you. I think I'm gonna die. HK was the collection that was out when I entered MAC for the first time, so I was overwhelmed by the eyeshadows & everything, so I didn't get any lipsticks back then... yeeks. I'm sad now.

Not sure if this has already been said but....

Naked Lunch is similar to Jest
Romp is similar to Go! (starflash)
Hepcat is similar to Plum Dressing
Pink Opal pigment is similar to Seedy Pearl
Blanc Type is similar to Brule
Emerald Green pigment (pro) is similar to Humid
Green Brown pigment (pro) is similar to Club

I probably have more somewhere but I don't mind having backup/dupes since mac has so many LE's/DC's.

Baby Petals e/s and Whistle e/s are VERY similar too:

A great dupe for soft brown is tent-a-tint and since its a matte2, t-a-t has better color payoff. I looovvvve soft brown though.

In my opinion, you really don't need rule if you have orange unless you absolutely love oranges, mattes or do a lot dramatic photoshoots. They are slightly different in color, ie orange is very true to its actual tone (not too cool or muddy) while rule is a bit of a rustier, slightly muted orange while still being bright. HTH!

Hope that didn't

you.

If you're looking for MAC specifically, try Underage.

 

[chickatthegym]

^ I have both Underage and Angel Cream... if anyone is interested, I can swatch them together

 

[TISH1124]

^^ yes Please...I love Underage....but have never seen Angel Cream

 

[chickatthegym]

I have swatched Underage l/g and Angel Cream p/g... I would never have thought to compare the two, because on me they aren't very simliar. Angel Cream is much more coral (although it does go on a lot more sheer than it looks in the tube) while Underage is nude/beige. Both are gorgeous colors, I just don't think I would consider them dupes...maybe they show up different on different people though

Here are the swatches on the back of my hand (I am NW25/30). This is indoor, no flash

Underage on left...Angel Cream on right in both pics:

[SpringDancer]

Does anyone know of a dupe for Full on Lust lipgloss (LE from The Originals collection)?

 

[escapade]

Does anyone know a dupe for Underplay lipstick?

 

[MissAlphaKitty]

If you already have:

Urban Decay "X" eyeshadow... you don't need MAC "Melon" pigment
Urban Decay "Blaze" eyeshadow... you don't need MAC "All That Glitters" Eyeshadow

How does Mulch and Glamour Check compare?

And what's a dupe for Tempting? Thanks!
