The benefit cheek and lip tint is an absolutely beautiful product don’t get me wrong, if you can afford it i’d recommend buying it; however I found some perfect dupes for it!

The essence ā€œwhat a tintā€ is an exact dupe for the Benefit benetint. It is a much affordable price and works just as well.

A beautiful glow nonetheless! Works amazingly and is popular for a reason.
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster | Charlotte Tilbury
Ā

I honestly prefer the Catrice one so much more. It is more blurring, doesn’t emphasize texture, but has all the same benefits of the Charlotte Tilbury glow.

If you are able to spring for this one I would definitely still recommend it, however the Elf one works just the same for a fraction of the price.
DIOR Addict Lip Glow Oil Color-Awakening Gloss
Ā 
Allison Cornish profile picture
Absolutely beautiful product and works just as well as the Dior lip oil. Keeps my lips lucious and shiny all day for a fraction of the price. I even find it to be less sticky than the Dior one.

Allison Cornish profile picture
It still is a beautiful product and works great. It also has a wider shade range than the PF one and is more cool toned.
HOLLYWOOD CONTOUR WAND FAIR - Charlotte Tilbury
Ā 
Allison Cornish profile picture
Works just as good, if not a little better, than the CT contour wand. Easier to blend out and is a bit of a warmer tone.

Allison Cornish profile picture
Such an amazing product for the price. Works just as well as the other ones and blends out so easily.
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand - e.l.f. Cosmetics

Power gripping primers.
Ā 
Allison Cornish profile picture
Beautiful product and still one of my fav / go to primers. This one is a bit less hydrating than the Elf one.
Hydro Grip Hydrating Face Primer - Milk Makeup
Ā 
Allison Cornish profile picture
Works just as well as the Milk power gripping primer for a fraction of the price. It is also more hydrating and I find it keeps my makeup in place for longer.

This primer works like a dream! Although not 100% the same as the Milk one, it works just as well if not even better for keeping your makeup on all day.

I love this product and it is one of my fav skin prep products, but it is quite pricey.

The Byoma toner is sold at Ulta and works exactly the same. They both have a lightweight milky formula that hydrates the skin and preps your skin for makeup.

This one has the same milky texture as the Ilia one but for a fraction of the price. Works amazingly for smoothing out my skin and keeping my face hydrated and prepped for makeup.

Not completely like the Ilia toner, but works amazingly and has a lot of the same benefits for evening out and hydrating the skin before makeup application.

Hourglass Highlighter vs. Dupes

Highlighting the face.
Ā 
Allison Cornish profile picture
Hourglass has great products, but they are too expensive in my opinion. Especially when you can find dupes for a fraction of the price.

This highlighter by Essence has a beautiful baked formula similar to the Hourglass one, it brings a beautiful radiance to your face and is in my opinion even brighter than the Hourglass one.
