MAC Hipness vs Nars Deep Throat

I picked up MAC Hipness from To The Beach collection without knowing it's actually a very close dupe for Nars Deep Throat which is one of my everyday blushes.

When comparing the colours in the pans, they don't look similar, at least not for me. Hipness is more of a coral pink shade in the pan while Deep Throat is more peachy pink. However, when you swatch them both next to each other, you can't really tell the difference.

I swatched MAC Peachykeen next to Hipness because I always think it looks quite similar to Deep Throat but it's a slightly darker shade compares to Deep Throat. I'm a NC35, by the way. My photos were taken under natural light.


If you already have Nars Deep Throat, would you go for Hipness?

  1. Nah, I'd stick with my deep throat, lol. I feel Nars always beats MAC in pigment. I like those contoured cheeks :)

  2. Great comparison. I have Deep Throat as well but I think it has shimmer/glitter while Hipness is more flat/matte?

  3. Laura Beth: I agree ;)

    naturalnchicmakeup: Deep Throat isn't that shimmery when applied. Hipness is indeed more matte.

  4. I have both. I find that I reach for hipness more than I do for DT. But... I also find that MAC doesn't have the staying power as Nars... =[ now if only Nars would make Deep Throat that isn't so shimmery.. Then I'd be happy!

  5. From the photo, Deep throat looks better than hipness.
    Which do you like better? Or recommend?
