Both have the strong blue undertone and the satin finish, and the packaging components follow the same colour scheme and feel just as sturdy. Cranberry is slightly deeper in tone than Crème de la Femme but, used sparingly, it will work perfectly as a dupe, as long as you don’t mind topping it up that little bit more often!Ĭhanel Rouge Allure Velvet 38 La Fascinante and L’Oreal Blake’s Pure Red:Īs one of the best dupes in my collection, it is hard to deny the likeness of these two lipsticks. Natural Collection may not wear as well as MAC, but the colour match here is practically perfect and the price is even bette (£16.50 versus £1.99). MAC Crème de la Femme and Natural Collection Cranberry: It lasts well and and has sturdy packaging – a perfect alternative! MAC Please Me and Soap and Glory Pretty Muted:Ĭosting a mere £3.50 compared to MAC’s £16.50 price tag, Pretty Muted is an exact match to Please Me both in colour and texture, as it is also a matte finish. Both are great liners, but this dupe is definitely one to consider before splashing out. Despite being £1 for 1g, versus Dervish’s £13 for 1.45g, the Essence liner is actually slightly more pigmented.
The texture of the Essence lip liners is similar to the harder consistency of MAC liners, meaning they wear extremely well. The texture is slightly harder than the MAC liner, but it wears well as a result. Plum by Natural Collection is £1.99 for 1g and, although it’s the teeniest bit deeper in tone, it is a pretty good colour dupe for Brick. I’ve put together some dupes I have in my collection, focusing mainly on colour, although some of the dupes also have fantastic wear-time and feel just as comfortable to wear.īrick lip liner by MAC is a cult favourite, but at £13 for 1.45g it isn’t the easiest purchase to make. However, lipsticks and lip liners aren’t always cost effective. But I have found other lip liners that you slap on and look fantastic! For dirt cheap! (Jordana easy liner for lips).For many people leaving the house without something on their lips can make them feel like their makeup is incomplete. I think part of the problem as to why these aren't super creamy is the fact they might need to be sharpened and warmed up a lot before applying. So out of all three I used Nightmoth the most. I like Rimmel London Scandaleyes Soft Kohl Kajal eye liner in Nude to open and brighten my water line way more than the Naked Liner because the Naked liner is sort of stiff and doesn't glide on with rich pigment- and I don't want to scratch my sensitive eye area. I love Nightmoth but found dupes in Jordana's easy liner for lips. I like the color of Oak, but have other nude color lip liners that are creamier and glide on better.
I also thought it would come in handy for really mod/nude lips, to line or blank out the natural lip color.
I also got Naked Liner as an inner rim liner, similar to the Pixi one. I chose the ever hyped Nightmoth and it works well with Dubonnet (or any of my oxblood colors). I chose Oak for nude lip lining and it pairs really well with Myth. On my second ever MAC trip I made sure to grab some lippies and liners.
