The lip shade Mehr is a very popular MAC lipstick shade and one of the most famous nude MAC lipsticks of all time.
Mehr has a matte formula and comes in two different sizes as well as in lipstick sets which also include other MAC colors.
However because it’s such a popular lipstick you will often find that it is sold out in MAC stores and online, and it can be really hard to get hold of.
MAC lipsticks are also not the cheapest around. MAC prices are in the higher range which can put them out of many people’s budgets.
For example, the full size MAC Mehr lipstick retails at $19 (or £18.50 / €20.50).
Luckily for any makeup enthusiast out there, there are several affordable dupes of MAC Mehr available which means you can get this beautiful nude shade for less money.
Scroll down to find out all the MAC Mehr lipstick dupes and save yourself some cash if you love this shade but are looking for a cheaper dupe.
What color is Mehr?
MAC describe Mehr lipstick as having a dirty blue pink hue.
What this means is that it’s a pink with a touch of blue, that gives it a mauve appearance.
Depending on your skin tone it can look more brown or more pink.
It’s a great shade for everyday wear and it goes with almost any makeup look due to its neutrality and easy to wear creamy matte finish.
The product itself is very pigmented and although it is a matte, like all MAC matte lipsticks it is comfortable to wear and not drying.
Who created Mac Mehr?
Mehr lipstick was originally created in 2011 by famous Indian professional makeup artist Mickey Contractor, who has worked with MAC for many years. Mickey has created many of MAC’s greatest shades.
Mehr was part of a Bollywood collection from MAC. Mickey’s wife is called Mehr and he created the lipstick Mehr for her.
Mehr works particularly well on Indian skin tones but is one of the most popular MAC shades around the world today on people of all skin tones from very light skin to very dark skin.

Interestingly, MAC Fastplay and MAC Twig lipsticks are also often compared to Mehr and they are very similar.
As a makeup brand MAC is at the top of its game and has so many lipstick shades which are all time favorites of so many people around the world.
Mehr is not always easy to find since many of the most popular lipsticks are so often sold out.
MAC is also a fairly high end brand with prices that are more expensive than you’ll find in a drugstore so you may want to look for an affordable alternative rather than splash out on the real deal.
Luckily for any lipstick lover many of the best MAC lipsticks are also easily duped by other more affordable brands.
Even if you are a die hard MAC girl you may still be interested in the list of alternative shades to Mehr so you can save money and perhaps also try out this color in different formulations. For example, a satin finish or semi-matte finish.
MAC also now make a Powder Kiss Liquid Lipcolor in a color called More The Mehr-ier which is like Mehr but slightly darker and in a different finish.
