18 items

Allesia Roxas

If you love high-end products but not the price (like me) this is the list. These are affordable dupes that give the same finish, vibe, or performance as luxury products without overspending. As a broke girl who still wants her makeup to look good, here are my favorite swaps that’ll actually save you a ton ...

Base/Complexion Dupes

These are the foundations that make you look like you have perfect skin. The expensive ones are great but these drugstore picks give the exact same finish for way less money.

If you’ve seen the glow from Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, this is the cheaper way to get it. Same dewy, look, just without the painful price

Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster | e.l.f. Cosmetics

This one gives that light and skin-like base similar to higher-end foundations like Armani Luminous Silk. Not as fancy, but on the face it does the job for everyday.

480 Radiant Sand Infallible Up to 32 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty

I almost got the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear before, but it’s like $55 and I couldn’t justify it. I just wanted something that makes my skin look smooth and a bit glowy, not dry. I tried this instead and it honestly gives me that same soft, healthy...

Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation

Concealer Dupes

If you need to hide dark circles or a breakout but dont want to spend 30 dollars (same) on a tiny tube, these are for you. They blend just as well as the high end brands and wont crease on you.

Super affordable but gives coverage close to Too Faced Born This Way Concealer. Not as thick, which honestly makes it easier to use daily.

Fair Rose Hydrating Camo Concealer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty

These 2 concealers, if they're not twins, they're at least sisters. They're literally related to each other. Both equally have the lightweight serum consistency but still has really good coverage

Light Bare With Me Hydrating Face & Body Concealer Serum - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty

If you like the bright under-eye effect of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, this gives a similar lifted look without actually spending too much

Studio London Flaunt Flawless Cream Concealer 12

Blush & Glow Dupes

This is for that dewy and healthy look everyone wants right now. You dont need to spend a fortune to get a nice flush of color. This is basically identical to the viral luxury one

Found this exact dupe for Huda beauty blush filter which actually shocked me for being way way better. Pigment is literally better. Not only it gave the same liquid like consistency but the Revolution one is easier to blend on the skin too. I like th...

Revolution Superdewy Liquid Blush Burst Strawberry Milkshake Cool Pink

I like that soft glow from Fenty Cream Blush, but yeah… too expensive. This one gives me the same slight shimmer on the cheeks that makes my skin look healthier for 8 bucks

Putty Blush

Charlotte Tilbury one is nice but it’s like $40+ for a blush… searched all nook and cranny of the internet to find a cheaper alternative with the same finish then I found this. Good if you want C. Tilbury Beauty Light Wand without spending too much

MAX FACTOR Miracle Pure Infused Cream Blush With Hyaluronic Acid *CHOOSE SHADE*

Lip Dupes

Before you spend on a high-end lip product, check these out. Most of the time it’s just about the shade

Compared to Dior lip gloss/oil, which is super hyped and expensive. Tried comparing and Kiko Milano gave almost perfectly the same shiny, plump look as Dior

Kiko Milano 3D Hydra Lipgloss

Feels similar to Kylie Kandy K Lipstick . Matte, stays on, but way cheaper so you don’t feel bad reapplying.

Amore Matte Lip Crème

I was originally looking at MAC Spice since it’s one of those go-to brown liners, but I ended up with this. The shade is really similar. Same warm brown vibe and it’s easy to use for everyday lips without spending that much on a liner.

Moira Lip Exposure Pencil

Bronzer Dupes

Personally, this is a total steal. Very similar finish to Chanel and blends out very smoothly. It doesnt look orange or muddy on the skin too

Accidentally found out that Essence Baby got Bronze Bronzer is way more pigmented than C. Tilbury. Never switched back ever since. And as you can see, the price difference is insane for the same quality. Shade match delivers too

Sunkissed Sweety 20 Baby Got Bronze Liquid Bronzer - Essence | Ulta Beauty

Chanel Les Beiges is around $61, but this gives me that same warm, sun-kissed look for like $9.

XX Revolution Bronze Skin Cream Bronzer

Eye Makeup Dupes

Mascara and eyeliner are things I reach for all the time, so I don’t really go for expensive ones. These already work fine for my everyday makeup and feel pretty close in quality to the high-end ones.

VERY similar to Benefit Mascara ($35) but this gives my lashes the same volume for only 19 bucks

Black Lash Princess Volume Mascara - Essence | Ulta Beauty

Good alternative for Bobbi Brown Mascara ($40), but as you can see the price difference is insane haha. I love this

Mega Protein Mascara

I’ve used the Chanel eyeliner before and honestly it’s really nice, glides on super smooth. But I ran out and tried this Revlon one after, never gone back ever since.

Revlon ColorStay Micro™ Hyper Precision Gel Eyeliner, 214 Black, 0.002 oz - Walmart.com

Primer Dupes

I didn’t even used to use primer like that. I just noticed these help my makeup sit nicer, so I kept them. Remember, a good primer makes your makeup last all day but it doesnt have to be expensive to work.

I had the Milk Hydro Grip before, then tried this because it’s way cheaper. Lowkey surprised it performs almost the same on me.

e.l.f. Mint Melt Cooling Primer 30ml
