Help me find a dupe for a discontinued quad color?

[HelloCoffee]

Hello! Years ago, I had this quad from MAC called Sweetie Cakes and it was my favorite. I finally finished it, and can't seem to find a a dupe of the shade Gateaux, an icy pinkish-white. I don't want anything with glitter, just shimmer. I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

[HelloCoffee]

those look good! thanks!

[HelloCoffee]

Thanks! I'll check these out!

@HelloCoffee I looked on eBay and there are some listings for that quad. The lowest is around $40, though. 😞

I've also found some possible dupes for Gateaux.

Nars Callisto may also be a dupe, but it does have the tendency to pull more taupe on some skin tones. You'd definitely have to swatch this one.

Hope this helps! 🙂

[HelloCoffee]

If you're looking to buy or trade for this quad, I have one that's been used a few times. There's also one that's used selling for $22 on Poshmark app!

[HelloCoffee]

I wish I'd have known sooner, I already got dupes for the either 3 colors lol! but thanks anyway!

[Melstl]

No worries! So glad to know you got your dupes for it! 🙂

My first thought was one of the pinks from Naked 3, specifically Dust, but it may be too warm and not icy enough:

I also recently acquired the Jouer Mermaid Palette and the Pink Pearl shade looks pretty close, but this one is also discontinued - You may still be able to find it via a trade, though:

@HelloCoffee

I love finding dupes. Hopefully we can find you something similar.

My first thought was NARS Dual Intensity shadow in Callisto

This is one of my favourite shadows (not my picture). There's no chunky/big glitter pieces in it, just a good satin shimmer.

[HelloCoffee]

Oh yea, that one is nice! thanks!

@HelloCoffee  I wonder if Lancome's Color Design shadow in either Off the Rack or Pink Pearls would work?
