r/makeupdupes

I don't know why NYX discontinued these beautiful blushes. Mauve Me is a plummy-mauve with a glowy finish. My first attempts to find a dupe has failed, so I'm here for help.

IIRC, this was a dupe for NARS Sin. NARS just released Hunger, which I think is a dupe for Sin, reformulated? However, I am avoiding paying NARS prices right now, unless there's a big sale and I get desperate! LOL It seems these types of mauves are impossible to find lately.

I'm in Europe, so needing brands that I can find here, which can include global North American and Asian brands available here.

I am going to visit the KIKO store soon to see what I can find there.

MAC Eversun was my all-time favorite blush. Its been discontinued for years now, but I haven't been able to find a replacement for it. I have dark brown skin and I find that reds and pinks don't look good on me, but Eversun was the perfect sunkissed glow. Most "dupes" I've come across are the right color but without the subtle shimmer or with too much shimmer. If there are dupes out there that aren't matte and aren't glitter bombs, please let me know!

I wear these two shades the most often and almost panned them now.

I would describe them as

Shimmery or metallic peachy taupe

and Matte peachy brown

i would be happy with a similar shade even if it was pink leaning, muted or cooler.

i would rather not have a more yellow or orange shade however.

The first is very silky and the second is very pigmented.

Unfortunately I depotted them long ago so I am unsure of the brand or shade names. I wish I knew.

I tried using search by image and searching by shade colour but neither were helpful.

Given the disappointing retention rates in the makeup world I doubt either are still in stock anyways. Most things are limited or have long been pulled.

I did a very recent walk through of our biggest local Ulta and Sephora and swatched all they had in every brand but no matches in store.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

I've hit pan soooo quickly on this, it works so well as a highlighter and as a topper on any shade (modeled on another eyeshadow from the same palette).

It has no pigment as far as I can tell, just that pearlescent green shimmer.

I'm desperate to get more, if possible as a single eyeshadow or highlighter so I can restock easily!!!

Obsessed with the gorgeous cool-tone, deep red of MAC's "Viva Glam" colour! Right now, the "viva glam" collection is tragically absent this colour, despite its name. Any help in finding a match would be appreciated, especially at drugstore prices, but not necessarily.

ETA: Nyx's alabama and Maybelline's divine wine (both discontinued) were identified as dupes here: https://makeuptutorials.com/mac-lipstick-makeup-dupes/

Currently iso a dupe for this palette/one with similar colors. This is honestly my dream palette in terms of shades, but I really don’t want to support Jeffree Star after all the horrible things he’s done.

I've been searching for a dupe close to a decade and just came across this sub. Moonbeam was gorgeous - a milky slightly translucent liquid highlighter (very watery) that has a coraly tint with a slight lavender irisescent shift. Any dupes?

Algo parecido? Es demasiado caro

Hello! I'm a fair olive and finally found my perfect lip liner shade (Bespoke by Merit) but desperate to find a more long lasting formula. I love the color and don't mind the sheerness but it fades away so quickly. So far I tried to dupe it with Fara Homidi Faun (too pink and warm), Sephora Soft Suede (too warm, though a good FH dupe! looks the same when on the lips), Kiko Milano 33 (the warmest of all). Not pictured here but Mac Stone is the closest shade from Mac (but obviously too cool toned and dark, leaning more purple) Makeup Forever Endless Cacao is also too dark and brown (though it looks the closest of all when blended a lot)

On my radar (but can't swatch) are Ilia in Untitled, m. ph in Tease and Westman Atelier in Biscuit, but I'm scared they are gonna be more similar to the other shades I already have rather than to Bespoke.

Please help!

i’m sooo obsessed with this eyeshadow palette from a mexican brand called nádime, it’s called strawberry dreams. i bought it a while ago and loved it so much that i went back to get a backup, only to find out it’s been discontinued 💔

my favorite shade is the light pink. it has tiny silver shimmer specks that don’t really show up in photos, and it’s so pretty that i almost feel bad using it (ToT)

i know a lot of korean brands do similar color stories, and i tried the dasique berry smoothie palette, but it just wasn't it :(

so, if anyone knows a good dupe for this palette (or even just for that sparkly light pink shade), please let me know!! (；ω；) 🤍

Hello there!

I want to preface this by saying I do not care about this shade. I am NOT looking for a shade dupe. I am looking for a FORMULA dupe for the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipsticks. These by far were my favorite lipsticks I have ever purchased. I still have some that I use to this day simply because they have an unmatched longevity and lightweight feeling, in my opinion. I’ve been searching for something that feels similar on the lips, but I have been unsuccessful in doing so.

My most beloved shades that I own are Archangel and Hellbent, which are on the more matte side.

If any of you have any recommendations, I am more than willing to listen and try them out!

Thank you so much in advanced.

This is from the REM beauty x Wicked blush palette and it’s only integrated into a blush but it is the creamiest, wettest, shiniest highlighter i’ve ever used. It has almost no glitter and all the other “creamy” powder blushes at sephora have a lot of glitter. REM has blushes as well but the formula is very different. Please if anyone has recommendations 🙏

This request feels very niche but my all time favorite blush is Now or Never from the 2019 Exposed palette. This palette used a gel-to-powder formula so it has minimal kickback and is buildable.

I am now on the hunt for a dupe ! So far, the closest that I've found are:

L'Oréal True Match Blush in Subtle Sable (more shimmer and leans a little too pink on my face, NARS is more of a warm peach. Doesn't have that almost wet look either.)

Armani Luminous Silk Glow Blush in 11 In Love (not as luminous and doesn't have that satin finish I love.)

I may have already found the closest dupes, but I wanted to know if any of you have tried the 3 blushes I've mentioned and have other similar color recs I should try! Also wanted to know if there are any other gel-to-powder formulas any of you know of!

Including pictures of the shadow and swatches. Top two are Now or Never both blended out and swatched, middle is Patrick Ta She's Blushing (just to show how NARS is more peach), and Subtle Sable at the bottom.

Hi everyone!
I’m desperately looking for a dupe for the "Rising Sun – Shadow Stix | ColourPop® x Winx Club". I think it was a 2023 collection, and I just can't find a similar shade and application (I'm really not a fan of powder eyeshadows). Thank you so much to anyone who has suggestions!

Hi! (thank you so much in advance!)

Is there anything out there that's just like Combust by Urban Decay, in their old Smoky palette? It's like the palest true beige/pink (to me or on me).. it used to turn slightly salmon on my lids and now it's really old and turns brown grey.

On my hand right now it looks like a muted muted dusty pink.

Sorry for the picture spam, I just wanted to save any trouble! I'm really looking for a natural eyeshdow.. my eyes are very sensitive, but this is my "works so well" shade, it's just mwuah!!

I was thinking about HoneybeeGardens Cameo shade but I wanted to seek help on here, first. Thanks a lot!!!
