$49 vs $14: I am sure you have already seen this dupe for the charlotte tilbury flawless filter, but it's popular for a reason! It is exactly the same as the flawless filter, same illuminating and glowy finish. Save your money!
Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter ➡️ Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter
$52 vs $17: Both are lightweight, long-lasting, and deliver a natural, radiant finish with medium to full coverage. L’Oréal’s formula also feels breathable and has impressive wear time.
Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation ➡️ L'Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation
$49 vs $11: This maybelline foundation provides a radiant finish, is hydrating, and has a lightweight feel, similar to House Labs’ glowy look.
House Labs triclone skin tech foundation ➡️ Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation
$36 vs $7: Both deliver full coverage with a smooth, airbrushed finish. The e.l.f. version is slightly thicker but performs just as well in terms of long wear and crease resistance. I found that the hourglass was quite patchy on my dry skin and just ...
Hourglass Vanish Airbursh Concealer ➡️ Elf Hydrating Camo Concealer
$30 vs $10: Both are hydrating, medium-coverage concealers infused with skincare ingredients. NYX’s version mimics the brightening, natural look Kosas is known for, at a fraction of the price.
Kosas Revealer Concealer ➡️ Nyx Bare With Me Hydrating Concealer Serum
$31 vs $9.50: Like Huda Beauty’s concealer, NYX’s version offers full coverage, a long-lasting formula, and a similar lightweight feel. It’s excellent for covering dark circles and blemishes while staying in place all day.
Huda Beauty Faux Filter Concealer ➡️ Nyx Can't Stop Won't Stop Matte Concealer
$42 vs $11: Both have a creamy liquid formula with a radiant finish and easy application. The Milani Liquid Contour offers a similar sculpted, luminous look without breaking the bank.
Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand ➡️ Milani Liquid Contour
$26 vs $4.50: Both are creamy, easy-to-blend bronzing sticks with a natural, buildable finish. Wet n Wild’s version offers a smooth, radiant contour at a fraction of the price.
Rare Beauty Bronzer Stick ➡️ Wet n Wild MegaGlo Contour Stick
$24 vs $11: If you love the highly pigmented, natural flush of the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, the Flower Beauty Cheeky Blush Bomb Color Drops is the perfect dupe. With its lightweight, blendable formula and dewy finish, it delivers the same...
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush ➡️ Flower Beauty Cheeky Blush Bomb Color Drops
$42 vs $2.50: I was amazed when I first tried this product. Not only is it a dupe, but I actually think it's better. It's so much more pigmented, provides the same radiant, glowing effect as the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Wand, making it an excellent...
Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Wand ➡️ Technic Blusher Wand Liquid Blush
Powder products
$38 vs $11: I’ve been obsessed with the Huda Beauty Powder for ages, but let me tell you, the Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder is an absolute game-changer. It’s so finely milled and gives that same smooth, airbrushed finish that blurs pores and keeps my...
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Powder ➡️ Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder
$48 vs $6.50: I’ve loved Charlotte Tilbury's Pressed Powder, but when I tried the No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Finishing Powder, I was blown away. It gives me that same blurred, silky-smooth look, especially around my pores. Honestly, it fee...
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Pressed Powder ➡️ No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Pressed Powder

Benefit Hoola Bronzer ➡️ Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
$38 vs $6: I was honestly surprised by how well the Wet N Wild bronzer performs—it has that smooth, matte finish and blends out beautifully, just like the Too Faced version. Plus, it’s perfect for a natural, sun-kissed look. It’s a great option if yo...
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer ➡️ Wet n Wild Color Icon Bronzer
$34 vs $7: If you’ve been eyeing the NARS Orgasm Blush but don’t want to break the bank, the e.l.f. Primer-Infused Blush in “Always Rosy” is a great alternative. I was honestly surprised by how much it mimics the same peachy-pink glow with a subtle h...
NARS Orgasm Blush ➡️ Elf Always Rosy Primer-Infused Blush
$40 vs $11: If you’ve always wanted to try the Dior Blush but aren’t ready to splurge, the Milani one is a great option to get that same glowing, fresh look. It gives a beautiful pop of pink with a soft shimmer, but without the high-end price. It’s p...
Dior Pink Backstage Rosy Glow Blush ➡️ Milani Dolce Pink Baked Blush
$42 vs $4.50: I know, the Fenty highliter looks absolutely stunning, but I highly recommend the SheGlam Cosmic Crystal Mousse Highlighter. It is literally identical. Sparkling, glass-like finish with a smooth, mousse texture. You’ll get that intense,...
Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond veil ➡️ SHEGLAM Cosmic Crystal Mousse Highlighter
Primers & Sprays
$38 vs $17: This is my FAVOURITE primer ever! I would say that it is even better than the milk primer. It is extremely hydrating and leaves your skin soo plumped and fresh. It looks amazing under any foundation and is slitgly tacky, allowing it to gr...
Milk Hydro Grip Primer ➡️ Nyx Plump Right Back Primer
$40 bs $15: Nyx just knows what they are doing with their primers. This one is incredibly similar to the benefit pore primer—both blur pores, smooth skin, and create that flawless base for makeup. Honestly, the results are so close that I couldn’t ju...
Benefit Porefessional Primer ➡️ Nyx Pore Filler Blurring Primer
