Brown DownĪt first glance you can see the subtle difference between these two in the pan. If you’re trying to decide between the two, Malt would be better suited for warm complexions and Kid can go either way (warm or cool). The effect you get with each of these is essentially the same. After purchasing these two, one right after the other, I realized I truly did not need them both. Kid is a light tan shade, while Malt is also a light tan shade but tends to lean more pink. However, if you only wanted one of these shades, you’d be just fine! (L to R) Soft Brown, Saddle Kid vs. I do feel Saddle leans slightly more orange than Soft Brown and Soft Brown is a tad lighter, more neutral.

Soft Brown and Saddle are very similar in color and are easily interchanged with one another. (L to R) Naked Lunch, All That Glitters (L to R) Naked Lunch, All That Glitters Soft Brown vs. For some reason, I still prefer Naked Lunch over All That Glitters and I can’t figure why that is. No real difference in color, pigmentation, finish in my honest opinion.

Sure enough, as I was putting together the swatches, they are exactly alike. All That GlittersĪfter putting together the post for Espresso recently, I had used each of these shades simultaneously and it occurred to me how truly dupeable they were with one another. But if you just need to have all the pink shades because they’re pink, I completely understa nd.

Some of these are exact dupes of one another, and others are not exact, but close enough to save you some pennies in the long run. This post more than likely will be updated well into the future, as I discover more. A VERY popular question I have run across a lot lately is “If I have this MAC eyeshadow, do I need that MAC eyeshadow?” The answer is, “Probably not!” I thought it might be helpful to put together a post addressing some of the common dupes you can find within MAC’s permanent collection.
