My goal is to bring it all together for easy access and organize it into a definitive guide, at least as it relates to MAC lipsticks in the purple spectrum. There is a lot of information out there, but it's scattered wide. I have, however, done extensive research, watching more than 20 hours of video (the most pertinent videos that I found have been included here) as well as combing through blog posts, Google pictures, Pinterest, and Instagram posts. That is because I don't own the MAC originals (I can't afford them). A Labor of LoveĪs you read this article, you may notice a lack of side-by-side swatch photos comparing a MAC lipstick with its dupes. I also stumbled across some MAC dupes while surfing through the CrownBrush website.

But a lot of these dupes have formulas that aren't half-bad, and when it comes to appearances, they are remarkably similar to their MAC counterparts. The other cheaper alternative to the MAC brushes are the brushes by .uk, they have a wide variety and have more than 15 ranges of makeup brushes. Will the knock-off lipsticks be as creamy or long-lasting? In most cases, no. This puts us, as consumers, in an advantageous position-rather than paying for a MAC lipstick, we have a variety of knock-offs from which to choose.
