In the other posts I have talked a lot about saving money and all of the best drug store makeup to purchase. Today I am going to tell you about some of the best makeup dupes I have found. A dupe is a cheaper product that works just like a product that is more expensive. Finding a good dupe for high end product is the best. Why spend the money if you can get the same quality product for cheaper?
Makeup Dupes
Elf Camo CC Ceam Vs IT Cosmetics Concealer CC Cream
E.L.F is killing the game this year with all of their products. IT cosmetics is also a very good brand, but can be very pricey. The IT cosmetics CC cream is $44 and has an SPF of 50+. It goes beyond color-correcting to include your full coverage foundation, anti-aging serum and mineral sunscreen in one. The e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream is a medium-to-full coverage color correcting foundation with SPF 30 protection. It is only $15 which is a total steal for a CC cream. Although the SPF is not as high as the IT cosmetics cream, it still works just as good.
NYX Photo Loving Primer VS. Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
I talked about the best primers in a previous blog, and the NYX Photo-Loving primer is definitely one of the best. It is a dupe for the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. The NYX primer is only $14 and the Smashbox primer is $42. Such a big difference in prices and they work the same. NYX also even offers three different shades and Smashbox only has one.
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer NYX Matte Bronxer
Again we have another NYX product and this product I use all the time. I have used the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer and the NYX Matte Bronzer one works exactly like it and it is just as pigmented. The NYX bronzer is only $9 and the Too Faced bronzer is $35 which is very pricy for a bronzer.
NYX Epic Liner Vs. Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
The NYX Eic Liner is my holy grail product. If I had to live with one product for the rest of my life, it would be this liner. It is extremely pigmented and stays on all day. I have tried the Kat Von D eyeliner before and was not a fan. It stays on almost too good that it is almost impossible to come off. The NYX liner is only $8 and the Kat Von D liner is around $20.
E.L.F Lock on Liner and Brow Cream Vs. Anastasia Dip Brow
The Anastasia Dip Brow was a product I used all the time, until I found out the E.L.F Lock on Liner and Brow Cream works just as good. The only downside to the NYX brow cream is that it only has three shades and the Anastasia Dip Brow has 11 different shades. The NYX cream is only $5 and the Anastasia cream is $21.
Get the Dupe!
These are just a few dupes that I know of and there are plenty more out there. You can definitely save a ton of money and get the same quality as high end brands. If you know of any dupes, let us know!
