The Dupe List | Dupes by Palette + Palette vs. Palette Comparison Tool
The Dupe List was just updated with two new features 🙂 They are short and sweet but hopefully useful! As always, thank you for your support!
Dupes by Palette
You can know get all dupes for shades within a single palette, like Viseart Boheme Dream, all at once instead of searching shade-by-shade; you can also refine the results to specific price points or by brand to compare to your stash more “at a glance” for a palette.
Palette vs. Palette
You can now compare any two palettes that we have in the database to see if any shades from Palette A are known dupes from Palette B (or vice versa), so you can see how much overlap, if any, there might be. (Note: if the exact same shade, like MAC Carbon, actually repeats in both palettes, that will not come up as a dupe.) You can compare duos, quads, palettes, and even sets (like an eyeliner set). If you just want to compare any two specific shades, you can already do that through our compare any two swatches tool here.
Oh this is cool as heck!
Yay! 🙂
This is awesome!
Great to hear! 🙂
Wow, this is awesome! Last month, I was trying to compare the Viseart Ribbons with BH Cosmetics Foil palette, and was switching screens back and forth, comparing swatches, and scribbling notes to see if there were any dupes, but this makes it much easier. I know you’re up to your eyeballs in products, but any chance you might review the new NYX Brights shadow palette? It’s 16 bright matte shadows, and at $18 (less on sale), very budget friendly option for those don’t wear brights often, or it would be nice to pair with the satiny brights in Viseart Ribbons Boheme, plus it would be great to add as a dupe palette for your gallery/library. I don’t have it, but from what I can tell, most of the online swatches look decent, and others look fixable with primer, but I can’t always trust you tube
Sorry, I don’t have that palette! Edit: I don’t have the NYX palette. Also, I haven’t reviewed the BH Foil one, so there aren’t any dupes from me in yet (users might have submitted some, though) 🙂
No worries. I might pick up the NYX Brights one, and if I do, will let you know how it performs. If it’s a dud, I can always return 🙂
Awesome Christine!
Thanks, Lily!
!!!!!! The Temptalia team is a gem to humanity, I kid you not. This is the best thing because I’m the kind of person that falls in love with three or four shades in a palette but not enough for the whole thing. Just shaved off a good half hour of every “this is stunning but is it really worth $45 Sarah” debate! <3
Woohoo! Thank you! 🙂
Very VERY cool feature! I use the swatch gallery and dupes feature endlessly. I cannot emphasize that enough. I do not always have the time to chase down dozens of beauty sites and some days it is either very late or very early when I get the opportunity to work in my beauty fix. Temptalia is in many cases my one and only fix for the day and the kick butt features make it so.
Thank you so much for all of your support over the years, Wendy! 🙂
Christine, I’m like Wendy….I probably check the Dupe List at least once a day. We often forget to tell you, but thank you so much for your site and for all you do. I was looking at an old product the other week and realized how very, very far you’ve taken this site in 6 years (I think the product I was looking at dated from 2010).
It has been soooo long!
Best idea ever… Especially since I’m at that point in every makeup hoarder’s life where my purchases need more justification than “OMG LOOK BRIGHT COLORS I KNOW I HAVE DUPES FOR HALF OF THEM BUT OMG THAT PACKAGING!!!!1”
*Full disclosure: ⬆this pretty much sums up my decision making process more often than I’d like to admit….
Haha!
This is so awesome! I’ve been hoping someone would implement something like this. Thank you!
Awesome to hear it, Alexa 🙂
This is such a useful feature! You three are the greatest. <3
Woohoo!
This is amazing!! Thank you so much for adding this feature. Saves a lot of time.
Happy to hear it! 🙂
Wow…this is amazing and it must have been an awful lot of work to achieve. Thank you SO MUCH, Christine!
These ones weren’t too bad 🙂 The first one was a long-time coming. We are working on a bigger update to the Dupe List that’s been taking so long that we actually switched to these to get something new out first, LOL!
Wow, this is so awesome! Thanks a lot!
Thank you!
Love this! Thank you Christine!
Our pleasure!
Awesome! This will be so handy because I’m definitely guilty of buying palettes with a lot of overlap just to get a few new and different shades, without realizing just how much overlap there is. (Urban Decay, I’m looking at you.)
I’m so glad 😀
This is amazing! I already use the Dupe List to compare swatches pretty much every single day of my life, and this makes it even better!
Yayyy! I
Ohhh, that’s awesome!!! I use the Dupe List ALL-THE-TIME and I thought it would be impossible to improve, but you always surprise me.
Aww, thank you!!
Woah! I can’t even begin to tell how hard you work to always help us in buying the best of makeup! 🙂
🙂
Superb addition to your already invaluable swatches/dupes. Think I’ve looked at MUFE shadows 100x or more. Now, remind me how to credit Temptalia before you order from Sephora, et al. I ordered @ work, and simply forgot. Sorry. We really ought to do that, considering all you do for us.
If you buy online, you just have to click any link that goes to Sephora (it is also one of the retailers linked in the sidebar) as just about every link to a major retailer on the site is an affiliate link (so the site gets some % commission – varies by retailer). 🙂
This is genius! Thanks to you and the team, Christine. I know this will come in very handy.
I’m happy to hear it, Rachel!
Omg, this is too wonderful. Thank you for creating this! My makeup life just got 10x easier! If I had any idea how to do emoticons, there would be about a million hearts in this message. A Million.
Woohoo!! 🙂
This is freaking fantastic!! Thank you Christine (and your team) for making all of our lives easier!!!
Yay! Thanks, Alicia!
The HOURS and HOURS of work that must go into making this?!
Congrats Temptalia Crew!
An awesome achievement!
And what an amazing tool for the rest of us!
Thank you!
Thank you, Charley!
This is awesome. Thanks.
Our pleasure!
Christine – you continually amaze and surprise us all the time. How fantastic is this new addition to your blog?
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Genevieve!
Great features! I was hoping for something like this function when MAC’s Flamingo Park palette turned out not to be released in the UK. I spent about 2 hours looking at dupes until my brain frazzled! In the end I decided to get the pink shades released individually altho not all the same as in the palette, and to buy Dior Glowing Gardens in Rose Garden. Rose Garden #1 is indeed a close dupe for Floridazzle, which what I wanted because it was such an unusual, fresh shade. Luckily, I love the rest of the Rose Garden palette as well!
lol! I can imagine that dupe-hunting can get intense after awhile!
I don’t know if I can express how much I appreciate this feature! I used to have three or more windows open to compare swatches in different palettes — even more when looking for dupes. Thank you!!! 😀
No problem! I hope is useful! We have some things in the works to make it even more useful, too 🙂
It’s not working for me – I can’t type in the search boxes – tried both on Chrome and MSIE 🙁
Hey Georgia,
I checked on my end in Chrome/Edge, and it worked for me. Could you e-mail nick@temptalia.com and let him know what device you’re using as well? He would be able to help better than I. Alternatively, if you give me permission, I can have him reach out to you via the email you’ve provided.
Awesome Christine! Sometimes, I would like to submit a dupe, but I must be logged. Is it possible without Facebook account? Thank you for your time.
You have to create a MyTemptalia account, but you do not need to do so with your Facebook account. Just fill out the form right below the “Connect to Facebook” button 🙂
Your work ethic commands respect. I know you have mine! Thank you for always striving to make an even better blog/database for us. You love what you do, it really shows. Such a cool new feature!
Thank you, Bonnie!
