Best beauty dupes: 5 Splurge vs save foundations

Best beauty dupes: Foundation
As much as we all love indulging in lavish, expensive makeup, sometimes we just can't justify shelling out major $$$ over a bottle of our favourite goop. Yes, exxy beauty products do make some sort of a difference, but there's loads of high-performance, low-cost beautifiers that work just as well. That's why, starting from right this very second, I'm going to be bringing you a list of awesome beauty dupes across a range of categories and price tags every couple of weeks, because who doesn't love a good bargain bender?!
Today it's all about complexion-perfecting foundations. While I love to reach for the standard face hybrids ('sup Giorgio, YSL), I've discovered five cheapie picks that boast formulas which are so-similar-it's-scary. 
So for those times that your bank accounts are bordering towards single digits, here are five must-have foundy friends to see you through to your next pay day.
1. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, $92, vs. Max Factor Luminizer Foundation, $33.95

It was actually our fashion editor Maddie that brought this little love match to my attention via a text one night. She was so elated to have actually found a foundation that compared closely to her favourite Giorgio formula, that she had to tell the world (the world being me, myself and I). While I was initially skeptical that another prod could be even remotely as amazing as the Luminous Silk Foundation, a bit of a test-drive confirmed that both of these concoctions are indeed verrrrrry similar.
WHY SAME, SAME? Giorgio's Luminous Silk Foundation is all about imparting a radiant, barely-there glow and making the skin look damn delicious, to the point where people will probably want to take a bite from your cheeks (true story). It's also super hydrating and really lightweight on the skin, perfect for everyday wear if you're going for a fresh-faced finish. The Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation, a new arrival to the cosmetics world, is infused with light-reflecting particles that do exactly what our Giorgio friend does, for about 40 bucks cheaper. It creates a healthy-looking glow and features featherlight coverage, plus a dewy finish almost identical to Giorgio. The only qualm I had with the Max Factor formula is that it contains a bit of sparkle, but aside from that it's pretty much budget beauty bin perfection.
