MAC Sheen Supreme: Dupes & Comparisons


MAC Sheen Supreme: Dupes & Comparisons

If I did not include a swatch or comparison below, it is most likely because I do not own the color to compare.

  • BARE AGAIN is a more opaque version of Hug Me. It is rosier than Cherish, lighter than Kinda Sexy. Woo Me is lighter and pinker.
  • BEHAVE YOURSELF is similar to Viva Glam Gaga and Of RoyaltySnob is cooler-toned and more opaque.
  • CAN’T GET ENOUGH is a little lighter than Sweet Ever After.
  • CAN’T RESIST is slightly less red than Fresh Moroccan. Funbathing is plummier, Rose Maiden is lighter and pinker, Odyssey is much plummier.
  • FULL SPEED is nearly identical to Red Full Stop. Rozz Revival is deeper and redder, while See Sheer is less pink and bright.  Chatterbox and Lustering are really too pink to be anything like it. Vegas Volt is noticeably orange in comparison.
  • GOOD TO BE BAD is a less opaque version of Darkside. Deepest Wish is browner, as is Kittenish. Media has stronger berry tones. Love Peck is also similar, though a touch darker, depending on how you apply it.
  • GOTTA DASH! is lighter than So Vain, more orange and pigmented than Funshine and Blowdry. (I don’t/couldn’t find Ravishing or Shy Girl, unfortunately.)
  • INSANELY IT! is a more fuchsia version of Fusion Pink, while Full Fuchsia is a little too magenta. NARS Funny Face is a little cooler and more purpled.
  • LOOK AT HER! is less red and shimmery compared to Guerlain Ginger, but it is more copper than Bronze Shimmer. Bronzilla is a rosy, pale bronze but not like it.
  • NEW TEMPTATION is pinker and sheerer than Russian Red. I expect it is closer to MAC Red, but I do not own it to compare.
  • QUITE THE THING! is a less opaque, more shimmered version of Rebel. Show Orchid is brighter, more magenta.
  • SUPREMELY CONFIDENT is most like Fleshpot, which is a little darker. Creme d’Nude, Blankety, Myth, and Viva Glam Gaga 2 are all noticeably darker.
  • ULTRA DARLING is a touch darker than NARS Niagara, bit more muted than MAC Crosswires, and little redder than Korres #18. Fast Thrill has more shimmer and less coral.

* I don’t own any comparable to Impressive, though it seems a lot like Modesty and Midi-mauve.

See comparison photos!

Wow these comparisons helped me to reduce my wish list so much. Thank you!

New Temptation looks so much pinker next to Russian Red. Do you think it’s close to Gesina lipstick or Movie Star Red ccb?

Full Speed looks like a sheerer/more wearable Toxic Tale to me.

Thanks! I wanted Ultra Darling and Impressive, but since I own Crosswires already, I’m just hauling Impressive when it launches.

Thanks for the swatches and comparisons. I decided not to get the Viva Glam Gaga 1 lipstick last year but for some reason this year I all of a sudden want it. Behave yourself is close enough and good enough for me. Luckily it is permanent!

Thank you so much for posting all of these swatches! They are really helpful! 🙂

I was wondering if Full Speed was similar to Impassioned?

Also, I was wondering if in the photo where you have Creme d’Nude, Supremely Confident, Blankety and Viva Glam Gaga 2 listed, is the one that’s labeled Blankety, actually Fleshpot? It just seems too pale to be Blankety? Thanks for your help!

What MAC lipstick would be the best nude: hug me, viva glam gaga 2, hue, blankety or creme d’ nude? I have light medium skin, black hair 🙂 Can you also recommend some corals? ( light and dark) 🙂 Thanks!
