16 Favorite Makeup Dupes That are Incredibly Awesome and Super Cheap
Every girl wants to look and feel amazing, but let’s face it – some makeup is just overpriced. Surely there are other brands out there that can work just as well – without costing an arm and a leg to get them. Actually, there are, and this is a list of our 16 favorites. All the makeup and supplies you see here you can get for under $20, and some are as inexpensive as just $1 – so get ready to fill your beauty bag with the best of the best, and still have some cash left over.
1Benefit High Beam Dupe – ELF Essential Facial Whip
Since hitting the market ELF has set the bar high for itself, and it continues to deliver. This ELF Essential Facial Whip costs only $1, and it’s available at virtually all department stores. That’s a savings of over $15 when compared to the Benefit High Beam, yet the only difference between the two is the lack of the applicator – a small price to pay for such savings.
2Mac Fix Dupe – Nivea Refreshing Toner
We all love Mac makeup, but we don’t all love the price. Thankfully, Nivea Refreshing Toner has stepped in and offers the exact same results for a fraction of the price. Swapping Nivea for Mac might not seem like that big of a deal, but it could be the difference of $20 in your wallet. Trust me, you won’t even notice the change.
3Nars Blush Dupe – Milani Baked Blush
Nars has been proud of all the blushes in their lineup, and with good reason. But it’s time for them to step aside, there’s a new blush in town. Milani’s Baked Blush offers the same rich flush for a fraction of the price. You can feel good about this purchase, knowing you look like a movie star from the moment you step away from your mirror.
4Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Dupe – L’OREAL True Match Super Blendable Foundation
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation certainly is luxurious – and feels as soft as silk. BUT, that doesn’t mean you want to break the bank to get it, especially when L’OREAL’s True Match Super Blendable foundation works every bit as well, for a fraction of the price. Try it out for yourself, the results are pretty straight forward to me.
