Mac Rubenesque Paint Pot Dupe!

I don't know if you've guys noticed the box on the left, but my product of the moment is Mac's Paint Pot in Rubenesque. Rubenesque is a peachy base with gold/champagne shimmer. I LOVE IT.


So, imagine my surprise when I was riffling through my makeup collection and came across a Revlon dupe. I own almost every Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadow quad, and I've only use a few colors out of a few quads. Anyways, my Va Va Va Bloom quad has a color that is basically an EXACT dupe for Rubenesque. It's the THIRD color from the left in the quad. They looked really similar in the pot, but when I swatched them, they were twins!



Mac's Rubenesque is $16.50 while Revlon's quad is about $5.50. STEAL! Go pick this up!

*I hear that the indellible cream shadows at jwcosmetics.com are exact dupes for paint pots also, but they retail about 9 dollars. I'll be trying them out to see soon

What do you guys think?

  2. Identical, I really can't see a difference, how to the Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows fair as far as texture? Some cream shadows are really oily.

  3. @aaddictedbeauty: I like the other colors also. I haven't worn them on my lids yet, but swatched they're pretty nice

    @Daphne: Texture wise, the revlon one is creamier, meaning yes it is a bit more oily than the mac one. I hear they crease, but I really can't tell the difference because I've never had a problem with creasing. Do wear a primer underneath though.
