Here's the evidence...
The swatches show the huge similarity in the colours, which doesn't come across as clearly in the tubes here. However I'd say the colour match is really close!
The formulas are very similar, with the MAC formula being more creamy, giving better colour pay-off and thicker coverage, but for the price, the Barry M is a fantastic dupe, and is also moisturising unlike many Barry M fomulas.
Here's the swatches on lips, MAC on the left, Barry M on the right. Ignore the trout pout!
As you can see, the MAC on the left gives a thicker coverage and is slightly darker. The Barry M is brighter and thinner, you can see the un-even coverage on my bottom lip. However as I said before, for the huge difference in price, the Barry M is a great replacement.

Please take a look at my blog, Diamond Solitaire, here!
Love it when you can buy such a close dupe!! Then if you decide the colour isn't quite for you - it's not so much of a waste! Plus you can always replace with the more expensive if you think it will be worth it :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely on you here.

My little blog...
I think I actually prefer the color of the Barry M, and since Barry M is cruelty-free and MAC currently is NOT, it's an easy choice for me!
ReplyDelete"Punky Pink" isn't the most appealing name, but I can deal.
