HUGE Comparison Post: Dupes for MAC The Matte Lip Lipsticks July 23, 2015 July 23, 2015 • Estefania With the huge wave of 90’s lip colors that hit a few months back, it’s kind of hard to keep track of which greige and “whirl” colors you already have.
Thank you to my son and husband for the BEST Mother’s Day gifts! I love you guys! You made my day magical! So, let’s see. I decided to do a purple comparison so I could help you guys out if you were yearning for Heroine.
I think I’ve found a dupe! MAC Heroine is beautiful and marvelous and I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s matte and wore like iron. Well, you know I ate and the lipstick was still pretty much on. Also, the stain it leaves behind is a gorgeous dark raspberry pink/red.
Here’s what it looks like! Now, you might remember my created with Black Radiance African Violet and Plum Orchid. I immediately thought it looked like a glossy version of MAC Heroine, and I must say, I think I’m right. Let’s take a quick look. And, of course, here’s!
Okay, so here’s what I think. And, then I’ll show you the 3 together! I think that MAC Heroine Lip Pencil is a lot more magenta than the lipstick, which has a lot of purple in it, as well as magenta. Black Radiance African Violet and Plum Orchid make a pretty good match for MAC Heroine, except for the fact that it is glossy. Also, it comes out to approximately $4 in total. Um, yeah, good deal!
I really like the matte look of MAC Heroine lipstick, and that is why I had to have it. I believe Illamasqua ESP from the NEW Paranormal Collection is supposedly similar, as well, if you’re looking for a matte dupe/possible dupe.

And, here’s a few comparisons on my arm. I included Up the Amp on my arm but you will notice it is much lighter than Heroine and glossier. What do you think? Are you into purple lipsticks? Purchased by me.
Kenya Hi, I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank for this info. I just found out about this color through a friend.
Possible Dupes For Mac Face And Body
I was looking forward to getting the Mac herione this morning but was told it was sold out:(. I went on eBay and they were selling it for 40 to 60 dollars, another sad face:(.
Then with me sitting in the parking lot I stumbled on yout blog through google. You made my day. I just picked up the two colors from Black Radiance, they indeed do work and I saved myself a lot of money. Thanks again:).
Creme Cup, an iconic lipstick from MAC. As a younger sister of MAC Angel, it delivers youthful pastel pink with a comfortable Cremesheen finish. All hype around Angel made me second-guess Creme Cup as I wasn't too keen on Angel anyway. Somehow, I was convinced I don't need both, especially not after selling dupable Angel. Furthermore, detailed inspection in the store made me rethink quite light Creme Cup.
Indeed, Creme Cup is nothing like Angel yet it's doubtfully similar, but still a better pick for fair skintones. Let me tell you why. Tv romania mac tv romania for mac. MAC Creme Cup is definitely an eye catcher if you love pink nudes. With a defining pink base and lightened neutral nude property, it's a no brainer. It's like a delicate pastel pink porcelain, vibrant enough to suit any lighter skintones yet cute at the core. In the bullet, it's a perfect neutral pink while it transfers a bit cooler and lighter.
In my experience, Creme Cup is what I was looking in MAC Angel. It's light enough for my fair skintone, while it leaves pink hue that's not overpowering the nude effect. Angel was way more medium pink on my skin rather than 'neutral pink nude' that I was looking for. Talking about Angel. Do you need both? Probably not, you should rather pick other shades instead. Keep in mind, Creme Cup is better suited for lighter skintones, while Angel is universally flattering but definitely not a must have 'pink nude' on fair ladies.
Cremesheen formula makes the whole experience a bit more pleasant with creamy rich texture but still pigmented color. Lipstick feels nourishing yet it lasts a decent amount of time. While the color itself looks quite common and I was pre-excited to match a perfect dupe, I had difficulties finding a close shade.
Right now, I don't own any close dupes for MAC Creme Cup. You could maybe find a similar color in extensive Catrice range, while I don't own anything similar from European drugstores. Though, there is an alternative to Creme Cup in the UK. Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Crayon in Bashful (around 10€) leaves a similar color with multiple layers. It has a glossier finish and the color itself is slightly pinker and warmer. Also, Korean makeup is filled with dupes for MAC lipsticks. In this particular case, Lioele Dollish Lipstick in #6 (around 8€) is a lovely dupe for MAC Angel (another reason I got rid of Angel in the first place).
Dupe For Mac Brave
It's close to Creme Cup, but has a darker pink base, exactly the same as Angel.
