Pat McGrath Decadence | 5 Ways to Dupe the Vibes
In light of a very frustrating launch that’s been fraught with communication issues (from announcing the wrong time publicly to Selfridges’ release date coming and going TWICE!), slow response times (from what I’ve heard from readers re: emails for status updates), and a quick-to-sellout collection… here are some ways to dupe the vibes of the Decadence palette, which will be re-released on 12/26 (reviewed here).
I tried to “dupe the vibes” using Anastasia singles and popular palettes (newish and/or permanent), as I felt like this is a brand that a decent number of readers have products from. ColourPop was next, and I primarily went for singles as much as possible (though goodness knows what is available at this second and what will be available in five minutes!). I pulled from Sydney Grace, which has more affordable singles in a plethora of shades, but their Autumn’s Reign palette is one of the closer “all in one” offerings (richer, but deeper, jewel-tones).
I also thought pulling from Natasha Denona’s eyeshadow catalog would work given the brand’s have a similar price point that I feel like there must be a decent overlap of buyers between the two brands.
For fun, I also pulled together closest shades within Pat McGrath’s own past releases along with pulling in exact shade matches where available (e.g. available as a single or in a still-available palette). This is for those who already have some of the brand’s past releases, so it might give you an idea of where there’s overlap within your stash already and then you can augment shades you need using other products you own!
What shades are MOST dupable? Gold Standard (very warm, medium gold), Blue Blood (pearly, darker plum), Sterling (bright silver), Hedonistic (warm red, subtle duochrome).
What shades were least dupable? Inferno (rosy brown), Sinful (deeper, pewter gold), Lapis Luxury (bright, deeper bluish-teal).
