Question! I love the pigment in the Pat McGrath kit (the blue) is there anything that can dupe it? Cause that is some expensive pigment, yo! 

[veronika23]

@themusefactory  I wish! lol. No seriously I don't know if there is a dupe for that one. Well I haven't seen one anyway. I checked some of my stash and don't think I have anything that comes close to it.  I did find 2 shades I think that could be similar but I was going off pictures on the internet 🙁.  I posted about it a while back in the Pat McGrath thread:

I think this is a real hard one to dupe.

@veronika23 I figured but since I knew you had it, I was hoping that you stumbled across something quite similar! I have such a problem with blues, even if they swatch really nice, when it goes to my eyes, the pigment is just not there. (And lets face it, if you're going for blue you want it to be BLUE!) 

[veronika23]

@themusefactory.  I haven't checked my whole stash but a big part... I think the rest of what I have is LE anyways... Oh no! That's too bad :(. Have you ever tried a blue base with a blue shadow on top. MAC had a blue paint (might still be able to get the one that launched this year) and MUFE has the blue aqua XL. I wonder how close the MUFE star lit powder is to it IRL... If I ever get it I'll post side by side swatches.

@veronika23 I have tried everything and I feel like blue shadow and me just aren't meant to work out! LOL. But I'll keep trying! 

[veronika23]

@themusefactory  oh no! 😞  Hopefully you can find something that does work.

[themusefactory]

@veronika23 If you ever destash yours I call dibs 😉 

[veronika23]

@themusefactory  hahaha I have so much stuff... including a bunch of MAC LE BNIB 😄
