Swatch Comparison: Ever Bilena Off Beat Pink Vs. MAC Pink Noveau

Best Blogger Tips

Here's Ever Bilena's Matte Lipstick in Off Beat Pink and MAC's Satin Lipstick in Pink Nouveau on the tube compared side by side.


From the tube, MAC Pink Nouveau looks more true pink while Off Beat Pink is more of a muted rose. When swatched, here's how they look:

MAC Pink Nouveau seems darker because it has better pigmentation than Off Beat Pink. I needed to swipe Off Beat Pink a little bit more just to get a close to the color intensity of Pink Nouveau. Comparing the two, both look very close being in the same cool pink category. Major difference is in the obvious purple undertone of Pink Nouveau - Off Beat Pink shows no purple undertone at all.

What do i like better? In terms of color, Off Beat pink is definitely the winner. Having a skintone with olive undertones, purple and i don't go very well together. In terms of quality though, no question, MAC is the runaway winner. 

My final thoughts,
If you are looking for a close dupe of MAC Pink Nouveau, you may want to try out Off Beat Pink. It's not an exact dupe of MAC PN, but it's pretty close. You will find a more detailed review of Ever Bilena Off Beat Pink here and a detailed review of MAC Pink Nouveau here.

  1. Such a nice post po :) I am an avid user of eb (foundation) but not of their lippies, but i've heard a lots of good reviews about the off-beat eb lippy. This is the good thing about the local products, if di afford ng mga ladies ang super duper expensive na mga make-up products like MAC meron namang dupe. hehe
    By the way, haven't posted a comment here on your blog, but I've been following it for a long time na po :) Cheers - jenny.

  4. Look at the way my friend Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to get everything they want.

    These are the EXACT same SECRETS many celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become rich and famous.

    You've heard that you only use 10% of your brain.

    That's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years back, while driving an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3.20 in his pocket.

    "I'm so frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"

    You've been a part of those those types of questions, ain't it right?

    Your own success story is going to happen. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
