MAC It’s a Strike Cremesheen Glass ($21.00 for 0.09 fl. oz.) is described as a “soft nude pink.” It’s a light-medium pinky-mauve with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that went on fairly evenly and had minimal settling. The gloss lasted for three hours and was lightly hydrating while worn. Anastasia Vintage (P) is lighter, more pigmented, warmer (90% similar). Tarte Double Tap (P, $20.00) is darker, more pigmented (90% similar). MAC Anything But Demure (LE, $20.00) is darker (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

MAC King Pin Cremesheen Glass ($21.00 for 0.09 fl. oz.) is described as a “deep chocolate mauve.” It’s a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and a cream finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage–rather pigmented for a Cremesheen Glass, which is a sheerer coverage formula–that went on evenly but some color pulled into lip lines. The texture was smooth, creamy, and comfortable to wear over the four hours this shade lasted. The formula was hydrating while worn. MAC Chestnut (LE, $15.00) is darker, cooler (90% similar). Anastasia Fudge (P) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

MAC Spare Me Cremesheen Glass ($21.00 for 0.09 fl. oz.) is described as a “dark purple.” It’s a dark berry with cool undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation paired with a smooth, lightweight texture. The application, however, left a bit to be desired as it didn’t go on as evenly as one would wish, and I had some color darken my lip lines. This shade wore well for four hours and was moisturizing. MAC Preserving Passion (P, $24.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). MAC Peer Pressure (LE, $20.00) is lighter, brighter, warmer (90% similar). MAC Lust for Life (LE, $15.00) is more shimmery, warmer (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

MAC Throw a Spare Cremesheen Glass ($21.00 for 0.09 fl. oz.) is described as a “fuchsia with pearl.” It’s a medium-dark fuchsia pink with cool, bluish undertones and iridescent purple and pink sparkle. It had semi-sheer color coverage that went on evenly and smoothly without settling into lip lines. The texture was fairly smooth, though I could feel a couple of the sparkles if I pressed my lips together. This shade lasted for three hours on me and was lightly hydrating. MAC Bubble Butt (LE, $15.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Ceaseless Energy (P, $24.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Maybelline Opalescent Orchid (515) (P, $8.99) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). MAC Raring to Go (P, $10.00) is less shimmery, warmer (85% similar).

MAC Right Up My Alley Cremesheen Glass ($21.00 for 0.09 fl. oz.) is described as a “dark red.” It’s a rich, medium-dark pink-red with cool undertones and a cream finish. This shade went on rather evenly with only a bit of color settling and darkening lip lines. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which is higher than expected with this formula, so it may or may not be what you’re looking for. This shade wore well for four hours and was hydrating over time.
