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 Royalty. Snob 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.

Supremely Confident seems like it might be similar to Equality from All ages, all sexes.. Do you have that one to compare?
Not as pale!
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.
It is closer to Gesina!
what nude would you suggest for indian skin tones around nc35-40 with pigmented lips…hug me or bare again???or something else all together? help!
Bare Again probably!
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.. This section is always my favourite part after you do the initial review. Thanks for everything 🙂
Hummm… the comparsion between Viva Glam Gaga 2 and Myth! Thank you! 🙂
Thank You So Much Christine !!
Also, I hope you do an overall review and recommendations for this one. Looking forward to that !!
Wow, these pictures help a ton, thanks so much. It’s especially useful to have the swatches so large!
These swatch comparisons are SO HELPFUL, thank you!
So Impressive and Syrup aren’t too close? Its not insane to need both? 🙂
Looks like I’m only getting Full Speed and Insanely It. This saves me so much $$$!
christine, your blog is THE BEST.
I’m always so impressed with your dupe list! It takes a lot of work to round up that many comparisons.
This is so helpful! All I’m going to get for now is New Temptation, and maybe later Ultra Darling, as I don’t have Crosswires.
So many swatches. Thanks so much for doing this Christine, I was going Good to Be Bad, but since I have Darkside, I think I’m gonna skip it.
Thank you for all your hard work, this is very helpful!!!
Thank you!
Is Supremely Confident anything like Nars Madere?
Nah, not nearly as light!
IS full speed anything like sashimi mimi?? it just looks so familiar to me!
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!
hy ist der lady gaga 1 jetzt dauerhaft im sortiment? habe ihn und den gloss und wollte mir backups holen von beiden bevor iich gaga 2 lippenstift und gloss kaufe. wenn dauerhaft kann ich ja gleich gaga 2 kaufen:0) bitte um mail danke
Thank you! This is so very helpful.
Amazing! Thank you. :]
thanks a lot! but i still want to see the comparisons with shy girl and ravishing 🙁 i love these colours
I’m really sorry – I do not have them 🙁 I wish I could have helped you.
you always helps me a lot!:) thanks for the reply!
i HAVE SHY GIRL AND RAVISHING AND THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT AND I BELIEVE THEY ARE DIFFERENT FINISHES.
Hi Christine,
Of which collection/brand is Rose Maiden? Is it available now?
Thanks.
Spring Colour Forecast, I think, but no, it was limited!
This is so helpful Christine! I don’t know what I would do without your blog! You are the BEST!
Do you like the texture of NARS Niagara or MAC Ultra Darling better? I’m not sure which to get!
Niagara wears longer but Ultra Darling is more comfortable.
hey christine, thanks for the dupes and comparison always help a lot! 😀 but wanna ask you what is the last one from the photo of the comparison of supremely confident theres four swatch but only three names thanks!:D
VG Gaga 2
How about Slimshine Bare? Is it anything like Bare again?
It seems similar though not a total dupe – but I don’t have Bare slimshine to compare.
Hi christine!
These colors are BEAUTIFUL!
I am wondering how does gotta dash compare to cut-a-caper?
More opaque, a lil’ darker!
Got GOTTA DASH! it’s SO pretty!
i’m going to buy this color as long as mac makes it!
=]
How does Quite The Thing! compare to Violetta or Style Curve ?
Much redder!
Hi!! one quick question~ just wonder how gatta dash and cut a caper or ever hip are different in color! thanks Christine<3
Gotta Dash is darker than Cut-a-Caper, lighter than Ever Hip.
What is the best dupe for viva glam wanted it so bad but never got it now its gone need help with a perfect dupe. PS i am fair skin red under tones strawberry blond and blue eyes plz help
Snob or Saint Germain
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!
Probably Hug Me or Hue. Try Crosswires and Ravishing!
Is Can’t Resist anything like Drive Me Wild?
A little but I wouldn’t say it’s a dupe!
is gotta dash very similar to the limited edition lipstick jazzed?
