Hi!

Nope, just wondering if it's really similar to something I already have like woodwinked, or retrospeck. I hate getting a color and then realizing it's soooooo close to something I already have.

I didn't know it was permanent either, thanks for responding.

If I have Rule and Pollinator, do I need Off The Page?

If I have Bright Future (from the Style Warriors), do I need Crest the Wave?

If I have Da Bling, do I need Maira's Magic?

These 3 questions are absolutely killing me right now. The colors in the makeup art collection are so beautiful and I am craving them but I'm afraid that I already have colors just like it and I won't know just how similiar they are until Thursday. If anyone could answer these I would really appreciate it.

Bright Future and Crest The Wave are quite different. Bright Future is a deep dark yellow gold, Crest The Wave is a softer paler sunshiney yellow. They swatch quite differently. Think like a Gold Dusk pigment vs. Golden Lemon pigment comparison.

Hi I am new here.
I am looking for the answer for the following question, and by chance stumpled across this forum.

If I have Nars Ondine and Mac pigment Mauvement, should I get Style Snob?

I just bought Style Snob yesterday, and realized it looked quite similiar to Ondine in pans. I wonder if I should return Style Snob, that's why I didn't do a swatch comparison.

If someone can do a swatch comparison, or share their insights, it would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Maybe Lust l/g?

Sorry, I guess I should have said that they look the same on ME. It's just my opinion, as all skin colors are different, they obviously won't look the same on everyone.

I was just going through my collection and found another e/s dupe:
Cranberry and Bravado (from the Take Wing quad) are almost identical. Cranberry is a bit more pigmented, but if you pack on Bravado it's very hard to tell the difference.

Is there a dupe for the eyeshadow gentle fume from the Gentle fume quad (smoke signals colection); any greys similar?
TIA

I think Ondine is much cooler and purpler. This blog has photos of Style Snob, if anyone wants to weigh in: Pink Sith: MAC Style Snob - A Taupe To Warm Your Heart

Also, if anyone missed out on Warming Trend e/s from Cool Heat, or Blonde's Gold pigment, I am ridiculously prone to buying the same color over and over, and I can report that NARS Cyprus e/s is very close to both. It's lighter than WT and the shimmer is more subdued, but barely distinguishable.
