wet n wild MegaLast Matte Lip Color – Stoplight Red ($2.28) for the Retro Matte Lipstick – Ruby Woo ($24), about 91% less per ounce. Same cool-toned blue red in a flat, high-pigment matte that photographs the way Ruby Woo does.
Retro Matte Lipstick – Ruby Woo: wet n wild MegaLast Matte Lip Color – Stoplight Red, $2.28. Prep + Prime Fix+ Original: Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, $9.80. Lip Pencil – Stone: NYX Professional Makeup Suede Matte Lip Liner – Moonwalk, $5.99. Lip Pencil – Whirl: NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Pencil – Coffee, $6. Strobe Cream: L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion, $14.97. Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control: Revlon ColorStay Longwear Makeup for Combination/Oily Skin, $12.48.
The cheaper alternatives here come from 5 brands: NYX Professional Makeup, for the Lip Pencil – Stone and Lip Pencil – Whirl; wet n wild, for the Retro Matte Lipstick – Ruby Woo; Mario Badescu, for the Prep + Prime Fix+ Original; L'Oréal Paris, for the Strobe Cream; Revlon, for the Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control. Each is matched to the MAC Cosmetics product it stands in for on format, finish or key ingredients, and sold on Amazon by Amazon.com or its own brand.
That depends on the product. 6 of the 7 MAC Cosmetics products we track have a dupe sold by Amazon.com or the dupe's own brand, at a median 67% less per ounce. Bought together, the 6 originals come to $186 and their dupes to $51.52. Each comparison names what the cheaper one gives up. The other 1 has no dupe here yet, so for that one the original is the only one we can point to.
Lip Pencil – Spice. Lip Pencil – Spice: we checked Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Liner in Spice. Temptalia rates it 100% the same color as MAC Spice, but Amazon.com doesn't sell that pencil. It sells Rimmel's Lasting Finish 8HR liner in a shade also named Spice (110), and we found no swatch of that one against MAC's. For the rest, a pair only goes up when the cheaper product matches on format, finish or key actives and is sold on Amazon US; nothing clears both bars yet.
