Mac Pink Bronze (not cruelty free and I think it’s discontinued) UD Specter from the Moondust palette (not sold individually) There are other dupes that I didn’t include for one reason or another: Straight on they do look like but Celestial has a strong gold and red shift. Okay so the other one that I threw in the mix is Colourpop Time Out ($4) because it looks similar in the pan. I def recommend trying their makeup, if you haven’t already. Last one!!!! And guys, I hardly ever say this but I think that Topshop Shuffle the Cards ($13) is an exact dupe for Celestial! And if you’ve been keeping score, Topshop has had a dupe or near dupe for all three of the duos in this palette. So although other popular lavender blue duos like MUG blacklight, Buxom La La Lavish, UD Tonic etc might look like they’d be similar, they’re not dupes and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! As I said in my last post, the duochrome toppers are sheer, iridescent and meant to be layered so an opaque eyeshadow isn’t going to perform the same way. Looxi Beauty Duperstar ($5, Save 10% with code: BEAUTYCULT) is a gorgeous color and from the swatches it appears to be pretty similar. Ittse Cosmetics Stronger (which is still available and part of a collab that they did with Coffee Break with Dani) looked a lot like Twilight in the pan but it’s actually much darker. Topshop Wax & Wane ($13) is nearly the exact color and finish! Oh and they give you 20% off, if you’re a student! I would say that Twilight is a little more cool toned than Wax & Wane but that’s just me being nitpicky. Okay so clearly there’s only one dupe here. The duos in the Huda palette are sheer and sparkly and meant to be used as toppers so an opaque eyeshadow won’t give you the same effect. There’s lots of other blue green duochromes that I wouldn’t consider to be dupes. Changeling is more green than Retrograde and Solstice is a bit more sheer but I think either would give you a similar look. Topshop has lots of great makeup and they’re very underrated/unknown in the US. I would consider both Topshop Changeling ($10) and Urban Decay Solstice ($21) to be dupes for Retrograde. Just goes to show that you can’t judge by looking at the pans. Nabla Cosmetics Alchemy (€9.90) is def not a dupe. Conversely if you own the palette, you can make sure not to buy any of the dupes because you don’t need them. And often times you realize that you already have similar shades in your collection. Dupes are helpful for those who don’t want to spend $65 when they only want a few of the colors. Yes, if you want all 18 shades then you should absolutely buy the palette. Every time I dupe a palette there’s at least one Rhodes scholar that asks me if it wouldn’t be cheaper to just buy the palette. I figured I’d start out by showing you guys some potential dupes for the duochrome toppers in the since they’re probably the shades that you’re the most interested in.īefore we start let me do my dupe preamble. So I had to substitute a loose glitter for that one. Do you remember a year or two ago when pressed glitters suddenly became popular but then people realized that they got moldy if they were pressed with glycerin or some shit? Well it was disgusting and now I’m prejudice against all pressed glitters and I don’t own any. I’m happy with what I came up with except for Cosmo, which is the glitter. First I pick out a bunch of possibilities for each color and then I start swatching! Also I only consider cruelty free options that are sold separately (not in palettes). Here’s an inside look at my ‘duping’ process.
