Dupe alert - Blusher

Hi my lovelies.

I was sorting out my makeup collection the other day, and came across these blusher "dupes". They're not EXACT dupes, but I think they're pretty good. They are both Makeup Revolution dupes for MAC blushers.

The first dupe is Makeup Revolution HOT blusher and MAC Pink Swoon blusher.

Left - Pink Swoon, Right - Makeup Revolution HOT

In terms of colour, you can see that Pink Swoon is a bit lighter and more cool/blue toned, whereas HOT is more warm/orange toned. Asides from that I think that they are pretty good dupes, definitely considering Pink Swoon is £15 for the pan refill and HOT is £1 !!!!!! The formula's aren't exactly the same, the Makeup Revolution blush is actually more pigmented would you believe. However, can sometimes come off a little chalky. The finishes are slightly different as Pink Swoon is matte and Hot has a SLIGHT hint of shimmer in the pan, but hardly any shimmer payoff when applied to the skin. I still do think that it's worth the £1 if you were in the market for a new blusher or were looking at investing in Pink Swoon.

The next dupe is Makeup Revolution NOW blusher and MAC Blushbaby blusher.

So as you can see from the swatches, Blushbaby is a lot darker in shade, however the tone of the blushers are pretty similar. NOW is definitely more of a dusky rose brown, but I still thought I would include them in this post. The formula's are the same as the first two blushers I talked about. And again I would seriously recommend the Makeup Revolution one (£1) if you're looking for a neutral brown toned blush like Blushbaby. The formula's again are slightly different, Blushbaby is matte and NOW has the same amount of shimmer as HOT if not less.

I really hope that this short post was interesting or helpful for some of you. I really wanted to share it with you because I seriously rate Makeup Revolution as a brand and think their products are so worth the price. If not more. It's like the BEST brand for high end dupes. Check them out if you haven't already!

You can also find Makeup Revolution in Superdrug, however smaller Superdrug stores don't stock all the products (there are just so many) so it's worth having a look online.

Thanks for reading!
