Frequently asked questions

What is the best dupe for MAC N6.5?

What does ΔE mean?

The swatch colour is very close, but finish, coverage and wear may differ. Use the match as a starting point and check with a swatch in natural light.

How we found these dupes

Every colour is converted to the perceptual CIE-Lab space and compared with the CIEDE2000 metric (Sharma 2005 reference), the same one the industry uses to assess colour accuracy. We show a single dupe per brand, ordered from the closest match. The thresholds: ΔE ≤ 2 practically identical, ≤ 3.5 excellent, ≤ 5 good. Prices, where comparable in the same currency, give the estimated saving.
