Feb 11, 2019 We're starting with MAC's most-loved base product: The Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 ($30) provides an airbrushed matte finish and has notably high coverage. A great dupe for Studio Fix Fluid is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation ($7.99), which is just as long-lasting and shine-free for a fraction of the price.

- This colour is by far my favourite lipstick, I wear it the most out of all my lipsticks. Its a pinky red colour and its perfect for my skin colour (nc40), the reason I got this was because I had run out of Stila's lipstick in wendy and I can't find that anywhere here in Oz so this is a pretty good dupe for it.
- Two of those things were MAC Hot Tahiti lipstick and NARS Hyde Park lip pencil. They aren't really exact dupes but at least on me they're awfully darned similar and I felt like a dummy when they arrived within a few days of each other. Just further evidence that I needed to stop buying so much damned stuff.
- A post reviewing and swatching the MAC Hot Tahiti lipstick. Available at all MAC stores and part of their permanent collection. Hot Tahiti retails for KD 8.750 in Kuwait.
- This creamy matte lipstick features high colour payoff in a no-shine matte finish. The perfect matte formulation of the iconic product that made MAC famous.

MAC lipsticks were at their height in popularity almost a decade ago (remember those ‘My Mac Lipstick Collection' videos on YouTube?) and although they're not as popular as they used to be, they've still maintained a cult following.
I personally think that MAC lipstick are so popular because they offer so many shades! And not only that, the makeup artists who work at MAC make it extra easy for you to find the perfect shade to suit your complexion.
With that being said, $20 is still quite a lot to spend on a lipstick, especially if you can get the same performance and color from a drugstore alternative.
So, I hope that you found the perfect MAC lipstick dupe for your skintone from this list, no matter if it was a MAC Ruby Woo dupe, a MAC Velvet Teddy dupe, a MAC Mehr dupe or something else!
Let me know in the comments which of these was your favorite shade.
