Agreed! Chatterbox is quite wearable, whereas I feel like Impassioned is practically neon & unflattering on me.

Buxom lip gloss in Hope is similar to snowscene. Snowscene is whiter but Hope has the same iridescence.

not on me. Chatterbox has a definit yellow undertone and is a medium pink. Impassioned is bright fuchsia, def bolder and more neon than Chatterbox.

I'm the opposite. Chatterbox does not work for me, too yellow of undertone. I much prefer Pink Nouveau to Chatterbox.

Queen's Sin is darker than Port Red, it's more of a burgundy/maroon, whereas Port Red is more ruby.

Although they are both worth having, if you can't get your hands on Queen's Sin, Port Red is a good enough dupe, they both have the wonderful metallic sheen!

I agree and Brule leans more yellow than Blanc type. Blanc Type is the perfect ivory on my pale cool skin. Plus the amazing creamy matte2 formula.

I use Bisque interchangeably w/Blanc Type. It is slightly more pink on me - but only regular matte formula.

if you have gaga, then you don't really need snob

 

[RandomnessWithK]

are there any dupes for:

Hipness Blush
Goddess Blush
Fleurry Blush
Peaches Blush
Perfect Cheek Blush


Thank you!

I swear by this...I swatched it at the counter. Ravishing l/s from the regular collection looks almost the same as Dressmaker l/s from pret a papier

So if u have Ravishing, you do not need dressmaker...

And if you cannot get dressmaker l/s, buy Ravishing instead

If you have Lady Danger, you don't really need So Chaud
If you have See Sheer, you don't really need Made to Order
If you have Rockin' Chick, you don't really need Pink Burst (although I find PB slightly nicer for some reason)

 

[EriksDarkAngel]

IMO, if you have Smashbox gloss in Trendy, you don't need Pop Mode (Even though I'm awful enough to have a back up of each).
Also, I feel like if you have Viva Gaga, you don't need A Rose Romance l/s.

That's just me.

A great (or even better dupe) of MAC Cremesheen lipgloss 'Ever So Rich' is Revlon Super Lustrous lipgloss in 'Lilac Pastelle' it's a new shade and I love it!

If I have VG Gaga l/s, do I need Creme Cup or Snob?

Creme Cup l/s is a (neutral) nude-colored lipstick, while VG Gaga is pink.

 

[Momolovesmac]

Any dupes for cremeblush Lillicent,Ladyblush or Posey in powdered form?

creme cup is very different to gaga. creme cup is a less bright pink and more like a more pigmented hue lipstick.

 

[Kirsty]

And snob is a cross between lilac & pink, so again is different to both. They are all justifiably(?) different

I guess it depends on skintone, but Creme Cup is still pink on me, nowhere close to nude. It's definitely way more neutral & wearable than Gaga though. Gaga is so blue-based that it's often hard to pull off on my very yellow-toned skin.

I agree with this also, creme cup is also pink on my lips and couldnt pass for nude at all.

Gaga is ok as long as I wear soar lipliner and a nude gloss.

Hello guys!! I am a newbie here and I really want to know:

If you have an msf (I have Soft and Gentle) do you really need a ccb (I am thinking about getting Shell)?

I know that they are different textures and I know they swatch differently on the hand, but I would like to know, what is the job that any ccb can do more than an msf concerning only the finish it gives to the face?

It may be a dump question, but you guys be soft and gentle with me, I know really really little things about make-up...!

 

[Cleopatruh]

IMO If you have Viva Glam Gaga, you don't need Real Doll, Melrose Mood, or Saint Germain.
That being said, I have all four because I am a dork.
