As much as we love the original Velvet Teddy shade by MAC, we’re on the hunt for affordable dupes, that does the job bang on. It is a warm-toned, light brown with a matte finish that looks stunning on fair to medium skin beauties. So, if you’re looking to flaunt the gorgeous colour but don’t quite have the budget, we’ve listed the best dupes on the market that are scary close to the real thing.
Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in ‘Bare it All’
It is a velvety long-lasting lipstick infused with hyaluronic acid. This lipstick is extremely creamy— moisturizing, even. SHOP NOW on wetnwildbeauty.com ($3.19).
Colourpop Crème Lux Lipstick in ‘Lay over’
A long-wearing moderately warm-toned, light-medium brown lipstick with a satin finish. This lipstick is unique because the color easily comes off of the lipstick, even when you’re lightly pressing it on. SHOP NOW on colourpop.com ($9).
Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Crayon Lipstick in “Lead The Way”
It is a subtle pale n*de shade that glides easily on lips and does not tug on lips at all. Is it longwearing? Yes, definitely. This lipstick gives the lips a matte finish for up to 8 hours with the ease of application of a pencil. SHOP NOW on ulta.com ($9.50).
Sephora Cream Lip Stain in ‘Classic Beige 02’
It is a light-medium, rosy brown with warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It has nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer that applies evenly and smoothly across the lips without emphasizing the lip lines. SHOP NOW on sephora.com ($15).
Milani Color Statement Lipstick in ’61 Matte Naked’
Soft, cushiony formula of this matte lipstick builds easily for medium to full coverage color payoff. The formula and pigmentation beat out many of my higher-end lipsticks. SHOP NOW on milanicosmetics.com ($6).
