Here are three of my top picks for permanent shades that are similar to MAC Roxo Lipstick, which is a deeper red shade. You can see even more dupes over at The Dupe List.

I really like that NYX one.
Yay!
agree.. the NYX is more matte so wins my vote.
These are awesome dupes, thanks Christine!
My pleasure!
The NYX and Nars ones are gorgeous
They definitely are!
I’m really digging that NARS one
Good option for someone who likes a matte finish!
To be honest, I have no red lipstick at all because simply I always look older with red lipstik 🙁
These red lipsticks look so gorgeous and tempting now LOL.
Anyway, I can’t tell the difference among those red lipsticks XD look pretty same for me.
Nice comparison, Christine! 🙂
Thank you, Xiao! 🙂
Love the look of Manic. I’ve only tried one of the Urban Decay lipsticks so far.
How did you like it?
The NARS one is so nice. I haven’t used a NARS lipstick in ages, I had a really, really dramatic red a long time ago, can’t remeber the name, unfortunately. I’ll have to check this one next time I go to Sephora.
(Could have been Matador, or maybe that was form another brand)
Any particular reason why you’ve been passing on NARS lipstick for so long?
Yes, NARS wasn’t available here for many years. They had counters at one or two department stores som 10-15 years or so ago, then NARS disappeared from Sweden until Sephora opened 2 years ago. Sephora meant quite a few more brands becoming availabe. Bliss! 🙂
So glad Sephora opened up for you 🙂
That NYX dupe looks great! I’ll have to check it out. Isn’t Mascate such a gorgeous color?! I love that lipstick! Red is just such a classic and sexy color.
I love a deep red! 😀
The NYX one is calling my name! I really love their lipstick and the price is so much better. I shall have to pick this up!
Yay!!
Fabulous dupes Christine 🙂
so glad I picked mascate on your recommendation …
its drop dead gorgeous shade
nyx one is also looking fabulous n so is urban decay 🙂
Always happy to help 🙂
I’d go for the Urban Decay (shameless fangirl of theirs, here *cuddles Venom and eyeliners*). 🙂
UD’s is fantastic!
I pretty much prefer all the dupes over the original. Thank you christine!
I think the UD is closest!
NYX one is so close..
It is, right?
I love how NARS Mascate looks! Slightly darker, but that’s how I like my reds.
Yay!! It’s a nice shade.
That NYX and NARS are so beautiful. They are now on my wish list.
Enjoy 😀
Wow, the NYX and Nars are gorgeous! =D
Agreed 😀
