Vegan Dupe For Mac
Find out cruelty free makeup dupes for the “Best of” mainstream beauty! For any beauty product junkie, Allure‘s annual Best of Beauty Awards are a dream come true.
However, the majority of the products featured are not vegan or even cruelty free. They include a small section of “natural” products to cater to their health-conscious readers, yet the most coveted products are not made entirely accessible to all beauty junkies.
What if you wanted to try the shade of red deemed the year’s best red, but you only use vegan and cruelty free makeup? Thus, the idea for Vegan and Cruelty Free Dupes for 2014’s Best Beauty Products was born! Here are our dupes for a selection of the products featured on Allure‘s list. BASE: Primer: Etherealle Perfect Skin Primer & Finishing Veil, sold on Etsy. Dupe for: Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Primer Skin Transformer & Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Foundation Primer Etherealle’s primer is a mineral powder that eliminates oil and leaves skin looking luminous and fresh! CC Cream: Pacifica Ultra CC Cream Radiant Foundation, sold by and Target. Dupe for: Olay Total Effects 7 in One CC Tone Correcting Moisturizer with Sunscreen Pacifica’s CC cream has an SPF of 17 and also provides anti-aging benefits.
It is available in Warm/Light and Natural/Medium and provides light to medium coverage. This CC cream is perfect for days when you want a more natural make-up look! Full Coverage Foundation: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Skin: Conceal Full Coverage Foundation, sold by and Sephora Dupe for: Marc Jacobs Beauty Marvelous Mousse OCC’s full coverage foundation is a cream foundation that is available in 12 shades. This foundation covered my moderate acne and dark circles so well that I did not need to apply any extra concealer, which is definitely a first for me. Powder Blush, Bronzer & Highlight: Etherealle Mineral Contour, Highlight, and Blush in Hollow, Stark & Romance, sold on Etsy by Dupe for: Urban Decay Naked in Streak.
Urban Decay is technically a cruelty free brand, but their parent company, L’Oreal Cosmetics, is NOT cruelty free. Etherealle’s mineral contour, highlight, and blush powders are phenomenal! They provide skin with a natural flush and contoured look, without looking overdone.
Wearing Etherealle Cream Bronzer, Highlight & Blush: Pacifica Coconut Multiples in Bronzed, Moonlit & Island Rose, sold by and Target. Dupe for: Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm (Blush) & Giorgio Armani Maestro Liquid Summer (Bronzer) Pacifica’s Coconut Multiples palette is perfect for those with dry skin who are looking to add a little extra moisture to their daily beauty routines. The blush color is rather sheer, so you will need to use a few layers of it to achieve a more vibrant tone.
Best Dupe For Mac Studio Fix Powder
Cream Blush: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Creme Colour Concentrate, sold by and Sephora. Dupe for: Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm OCC’s Creme Colour Concentrates provide vibrant color with staying power! A little definitely goes a long way with this particular product, so be sure to dab some of the color off of your brush before applying to your cheeks! EYES: Powder Eye Shadows: Black: Etherealle in “Nero,” sold on Etsy by Dupe for: Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in Sycorax “Nero” is a deep, matte black that will add an elegant, sophisticated edge to any smokey eye! Honorable Mention: For those of us who love a little glitter from time to time (I know I do!), is the eye shadow for you!
Goldmine is a black eye shadow with golden glitter in it that is sure to spice up your daily make-up routine. Brown: Etherealle “Skylark,” sold on Etsy by Dupe for: Lancome Color Design Eye Shadow in Smoldering Cocoa “Skylark” is a matte medium that is perfect for achieving the coveted “natural” eye make-up look! Gray: Pacifica “Moonbeam” from the Mystical Supernatural Eye Shadow Palette, sold by and Target. Dupe for: Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Tisse Gabrielle (the stormy gray shade) Though Pacifica’s Moonbeam is a bit lighter than the Chanel gray being featured, it is certainly an essential eye color to have in your beauty arsenal.
It is light enough to achieve subtle shading, yet the color can also be built up to achieve a darker, stormier gray tone. This shade is also great for creating classic, vintage eye make-up looks! Color: Etherealle “Oceans,” sold on Etsy. Dupe for: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Timeless Blue Spark “Oceans” is a lovely dark blue shade with a slight shimmer. It is well-pigmented and long-wearing, which makes it the perfect addition to a fun make-up look for a night out!
From Left to Right: Goldmine, Nero, Skylark, Moonbeam & Oceans. Eyeliner: Black: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Colour Pencil in “Tarred,” sold by and Sephora.
Dupe for: L’Oreal Paris Silkissime Eyeliner “Tarred” glides on smoothly and is extremely long-wearing. It is a true black that is sure to add bold definition to your eye make-up! Brown: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Colour Pencil in “Sybil,” sold by and Sephora. Dupe for: Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner in Sumatra “Sybil” is a beautiful dark brown shade that is perfect for lining eyes and darkening brows! It glides on effortlessly and won’t budge once it is applied.
Liquid: Lush Liquid Eyeliner sold. Dupe for: Revon ColorStay Liquid Liner The tiny brush that comes with Lush’s liquid eyeliners is perfect for executing precise lines and achieving the perfect cat-eye! My current favorite shade is “Control,” a vibrant blue.
Lush Liquid Eyeliner in “Control” Mascara: Everyday: Pacifica Stellar Gaze Length and Strength Mineral Mascara, sold by and Target. Dupe for: Covergirl Lashblast Clump Crusher Pacifica’s Stellar Gaze mascara is available in a black (Supernova) and a brown (Stardust).
It creates volume without creating clumps or weighing down your lashes. For full, natural lashes, I definitely recommend this mascara!
Best Dupe For Mac Soft Brown Eyeshadow
Dramatic: Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, sold by, Sephora, and Ulta. Dupe for: Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retroglam Mascara When testing these two mascara against each other, it became nearly impossible for me to tell which was which! Too Faced’s mascara clumps less than the Rimmel version, and it is therefore easier to layer it. Plus, the name and packaging are highly entertaining!
