These 9 Lipsticks Are Super Similar to MAC’s Sold Out Selena Line
Just two days ago, the Selena x MAC makeup collaboration was launched in Corpus Christi, Texas. As of this morning, the collection has officially been sold out online. Damn.
We can’t say we’re surprised since Selena is an icon and fans are ecstatic over the makeup brand’s choice to draw inspiration from the Latina superstar. In fact, the collection was actually inspired by a petition that was formed by Selena fan Patty Rodriguez. The petition garnered 40,000 signatures and Rodriguez urged MAC to do a collection honoring Selena.
But while we’re not surprised at the popularity, we are bummed that we didn’t get our hands on some. This is way worse than trying to get a Kylie lip kit.
The good news is that MAC’s website says the iconic collection (which is limited edition) will be re-stocked online. Plus, the collection will be available at MAC counters in store on October 6, according to Bustle. If you’re desperate to get your hands on some of the exclusive Selena x MAC products, we recommend lining up outside your local makeup store at 8 a.m., because the crazy line that formed outside the Texas launch proves that Selena fans are hardcore af.
But until then, if you’re looking for a shade that is similar to the three lipstick colors in the Selena line, here are some very similar shades from the other makeup brands you love.
Como La Flor
1. Dior Rouge, #844 Trafalgar, $35.
This shade is slightly warmer, but still a perfect bright red.
2. Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick, Hot 305, $8.57.
This shade is slightly more neutral, but with a few layers still gives a bold red.
3. Make Up For Ever Artistic Lip Ink, $40.
This shade is less shimmery and glossy, but almost the exact same shade.
Dreaming Of You
1. Brick, Elizabeth Arden, $24.
This shade is a dupe for Chanel’s Brick, Selena’s favorite lip color which was discontinued after her death.
2. Urban Decay, Hex, $17.
This shade is slightly warmer and darker, but overall very similar.
3. Maybelline New York, Smoking Red, $5.49.
This shade is darker and warmer, but also super affordable!
Amor Prohibido
1. MAC Cremesheen, Shanghai Spice, $39.99.
This shade is almost identical, only slightly lighter.
2. Too Faced La Créme Color Drenched Lipstick, Honey Bear, $22.00.
This shade is slightly more shimmery and slightly darker than the MAC lip color.
3. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick, Pink Truffle, $6.45.
This shade is budget conscious and only slightly cooler.
