✨ Base Goals: Skin That Looks Like Skin
Smooth, radiant, and selfie-ready. (without the hefty price tag)
This cult classic blurs pores and evens skin tone like a pro. It’s often compared to Estée Lauder’s Double Wear, but with a softer finish and a way friendlier price.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
Its wide shade range and undertone accuracy make it a drugstore MVP. It melts into skin the way NARS Light Reflecting Foundation does. (minus the splurge)
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
TikTok’s favorite dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter. Expect instant glass-skin vibes and a healthy glow that makes you question paying $49 for the “real” thing.
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
Full coverage, creamy texture, and long-lasting wear—basically Too Faced Born This Way energy, but at coffee money prices.
Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer
A lightweight, blurring powder that rivals Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder. Perfect for baking or keeping shine at bay.
Revlon Setting Powder, PhotoReady Candid Blurring Face Makeup, Anti- ...
💖 Blush Crush & Bronze Babe
Add warmth, depth, and color that flatters every face.
This soft peachy shimmer is NARS Orgasm’s long lost twin. Glowy, blendable, and pure sunshine in a compact.
Baked Blush - Luminoso
The creamy blush that melts right into your foundation. It’s giving Rare Beauty Soft Pinch, but with way more shade options and way less guilt.
Sweet Cheeks Soft Tint Cream Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
Velvety, tropical, and natural looking; like Benefit Hoola’s beachy cousin. The scent alone feels like a mini vacation.
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Buildable, creamy, and glowy without being greasy. Many say it’s the Chanel Les Beiges dupe of dreams.
Luminous Putty Cream to Powder Bronzer
Drew Barrymore’s line nailed the sun-kissed radiance. Think Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer, but friendlier on the wallet.
Heatwave Luminous Bronzer
👁🍫Eye Candy: Lashes, Liners & Shadows
Because your eyes deserve their own spotlight.
The viral favorite for a reason; length, lift, and zero clumps. A real rival to Benefit’s Roller Lash and Lancôme Lash Idôle.
Lash Sensational Sky High® Washable Mascara
Thick, fluffy lashes that mimic Too Faced Better Than Sex—without the smudges (or the price).
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Makeup Lash Paradise Mascara, Voluptuous ...
Warm tones, buttery pigment, and long wear time make this an Urban Decay Naked dupe at a third of the cost.
Shop Colour Pop Nude Mood Palette | Warm Nude Eyeshadow Palette
Jet black, waterproof, and precise enough for sharp wings. Feels like Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, but easier to control.
Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Liner | NYX Professional Makeup
Delivers sculpted, long-lasting brows similar to Anastasia Dipbrow, with a creamy texture that doesn’t dry out.
Eyebrow Pomade: Stay Put® Brow Color
💋 Lip Service: Pouts That Pop
High gloss, high impact, and hydration that lasts.
Juicy, glossy, and hydrating—like Dior Lip Oil’s fun little sister. The color payoff and shine are unmatched for the price.
Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss| NYX
Transfer proof, glossy finish that rivals Fenty Stunna Lip Paint. It won’t budge through brunch or your third iced coffee.
Super Stay Vinyl Ink Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick
A timeless formula that feels luxe. Think YSL Rouge Volupté Shine, but you can grab more than one at this price.
Super Lustrous™ Lipstick - With Moisturizing Formula!
The glassy, tingly finish gives Too Faced Lip Injection a run for its money.
Milani Keep It Full | Nourishing Lip Plumper
Smooth, saturated color that screams MAC Satin Lipstick. It’s bold, hydrating, and feels way more expensive than it is.
E.L.F. O FACE Satin Lipstick
