Tiffany Mitchell

We all love Charlotte Tilbury, but let's be honest , a full CT routine can run you $250+. The good news? I've tested the drugstore and Amazon dupes that actually hold up, and I'm sharing my favorites so you can get that same glowy, "your skin but better" look without draining your wallet. These are the exact swaps I reach for when I want the CT vibe on a drugstore budget — every single one is under $25.

If you have oily skin, you know the struggle, by lunchtime your T-zone is shining through even your best makeup. I've spent years testing mattifying products so you don't have to, and these are the ones that actually control oil all day without leaving your skin looking dry, flat, or stripped. This is my full oily-skin lineup, from skincare to setting spray.

For the woman who loves makeup and wants to create that effortless yet glamorous vibe, a soft glam look is the perfect balance between subtlety and radiance. Think glowing skin, defined eyes, and soft, romantic tones that enhance your natural beauty. Lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer that evens out your complexion while letting your skin breathe. Add a soft, neutral eyeshadow palette like warm browns, to create depth without being too bold. A touch of mascara will define your lashes. For the lips, go for a nude or rosy shade that adds just the right amount of color. Finish with a setting spray to lock it all in, leaving you with a flawless, long-lasting look that's effortlessly chic. Perfect for both day and night, this soft glam look is versatile, easy to achieve, and sure to leave you feeling like your most beautiful self.
