- The two newer shades I have are Precious Peach and Innocent Flush. You'll notice in the product name, there is a letter-number combination like N1-2. This is key to understanding the premise of the True Match line. C shades are cool, N shades are neutral and W shades are warm. These letters designate the undertones that the shades are designed for.
- Luckily, Influensters have uncovered a few affordable alternatives. See the best dupes for NARS Orgasm Blush Influensters below! Cosmetics Blush in Candid Coral ($3, Walmart) e.l.f. Cosmetics is a brand that's always popping up on dupes lists. Their blush is no exception– even the packaging is similar!

- L'Oreal True Match Blush in Innocent Flush & Precious Peach If you read my post about the L'Oreal True Match Powder and Blush on clearance at Target, you will know that I wasn't very impressed with the color pay-off.
L'Oreal True Match Blush is a blush that retails for $11.99 and contains 0.21 oz. ($57.10 per ounce). There are 12 shades in our database, which you can select from in the View a Shade dropdown menu below. Jump to a particular section if you know what information you're looking for!
If you read my post about the L'Oreal True Match Powder and Blush on clearance at Target, you will know that I wasn't very impressed with the color pay-off. I picked up anther L'Oreal True Match Powder and Blush set in a darker color (for when I actually get a little tan).
A few things that I didn't mention in my last post...
- The blush in the Powder and Blush set is not full size. The full size is .21oz/6g. This blush is only .11oz/3.4g.
- The cost of the full size blush ranges between $8.99-$10.99, depending on where you buy it.
The blush included with the L'Oreal True Match powder in Natural Buff N3 is the L'Oreal True Match Super-Blendable Blush in Innocent Flush N3-4. I can't help but think the name is a NARS Orgasm reference... what do you think?
As I mentioned in my original post, the bottom opens to reveal a brush. This sample size blush does not have a mirror, but since the full size blush is about the same size as the powder, it might have a mirror.
I wanted to compare this blush to the shade that I originally bought.
Precious Peach coordinates with True Match shades Soft Ivory N1 (the powder from my original post) and Classic Ivory N2.
Innocent Flush coordinates with True Match shades Natural Buff N3 (the new powder I purchased) and Buff Beige N4.
Precious Peach, Innocent Flush |
I had to swatch Precious Peach over and over again to build up the color so it would be visible. Innocent Flush is slightly more pigmented, but I still found I had to build it up on my cheeks to make it noticeable. I like for the color to be a bit more noticeable, and these blushes provide a very natural, very light flush.
Once I built up Innocent Flush, I really liked the color on my cheeks!
Here are the swatches next to each other. Precious Peach is on the bottom, and Innocent Flush is on the top.
As you can see, Innocent Flush is similar, but definitely more pink, while Precious Peach is more... peachy.
As far as staying power goes, it's not the best by itself. I like to apply cream blush and then a powder blush on top of it. I find it's about the only way that a powder blush stays put for a full 8 hour work day.
If you can still find the powder and blush that are packaged together, it's definitely worth picking up the set!
MAC is one of the most popular brands around, but if you don’t want to pay full price, there are tons of great MAC dupes out there.

MAC Cosmetics has been a mainstay of the makeup world for decades now, and its products are both iconic and sometimes controversial. After MAC battled claims that they are not entirely cruelty-free, some customers began to turn from their long-loved shades to find new options. Not to mention, a single MAC lipstick will set you back $18.50, which could be used to buy two whole pizzas (or other delicious equivalent)!
Considering all this, I’ve put together a list of the best MAC dupes around. (All recommendations are confirmed cruelty-free unless otherwise stated.)
For your base:
MAC Foundation Dupes:
L'oreal True Match Innocent Flush. Dupe For Mac Full
We’re starting with MAC’s most-loved base product: The Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 ($30) provides an airbrushed matte finish and has notably high coverage.
A great dupe for Studio Fix Fluid is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation ($7.99), which is just as long-lasting and shine-free for a fraction of the price. L’Oreal’s True Match Foundation ($7.59) is another great option if you’re looking for that flawless base.
(Please note that neither Maybelline nor L’Oreal are entirely cruelty-free. Cruelty-free companies include NYX and Milani — see our list of the best NYX products for more on this brand.)
MAC Concealer Dupes:
Makeup artists and average folk alike have raved about MAC’s Pro Longwear Concealer ($24) for years, but there are cheaper options on the market. I’d recommend the NYX HD Concealer ($4.99) or the Sonia Kashuk All Covered Up Concealer ($9.98) for a similar finish and amount of coverage.
MAC Blush Dupes:
MAC’s Soft & Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish ($34) gives a lit-from-within glow to the face, but you can get the same luminous look from the Wet ‘n’ Wild To Reflect Shimmer Palettes ($5.99) or the ELF Baked Blush in Pinktastic ($4), which is my favorite cheap highlighter — it gives such a pretty sheen!
MAC Setting Spray Dupes:
Back in the early days of Youtube beauty gurus, everyone was dousing their face with a generous spray of MAC Fix+ ($26), but now other brands have released their own setting sprays that lock in your makeup just as well. My personal favorites are the ELF Mist & Set ($3.99), which contains green tea and other beneficial ingredients, and the NYX Dewy Setting Spray ($8.50) for the perfect dewy look.
For your eyes:
MAC Paint Pot Dupes:
For eye makeup products, MAC is well-known for their Paint Pots ($24), especially the shades Painterly and Soft Ochre, which prime the lids for intense colors, but if you’re not looking to drop $24 on an eyeshadow base, NYX Eyeshadow Base ($7) will prep your lids in the same way. You could also just use concealer on your lids and dust it over with some translucent setting powder for a similar effect.
For your lips:
MAC Lipstick Dupes:

And now, the most iconic MAC product of them all — lipstick. MAC has released so many shades that I’m just going to dupe some of the most popular ones here.
Now it wouldn’t be a MAC post if we didn’t mention Ruby Woo ($18.50). This matte blue-red has dominated the red lipstick market for years, but its formula errs on the drying side.
If you want a more moisturizing formula and a cheaper price tag, I’d recommend NYX Full Throttle Lipstick in Up the Bass ($3.49), which has a unique bullet for precise application. A long-wearing liquid lipstick option would be Colourpop’s Ultra Matte Lip in Creeper ($6.50), which is slightly warmer than Ruby Woo but just as beautiful.
MAC’s Marrakesh ($18.50) is another of their bestsellers. It’s a unique deep orange-brown that is currently out of stock, but never fear! Colourpop’s Lux Lipstick in Gallop ($7) is a very similar shade and has a nice creamy formula.

I’d say Velvet Teddy ($18.50) is as iconic in the MAC line as Ruby Woo is, and for good reason! It’s a beige nude that complements every skin tone, but luckily for you, Wet ‘n’ Wild also has a wildly popular nude lipstick, Bare It All ($4.28), for a much lower price. I’ll guarantee this will become one of your most-used lipsticks in no time!
