We all love a good splurge…. but don’t we also love a good steal? When it comes to makeup, I am a firm believer that if I can find something good as the luxury item, you bet your sweet britches I will use it. So, I have done the work for you here and found you some great dupes.
If you want even more, I’ve written a second post with More Awesome Dupes! Go check it out!
Each one of these products I have used, both the high end and low end brand. I hope this helps!
In order to get some
brighteness under your eyes, you may consider using an eye brightener.
Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat (by the way, I just love saying that
with a fancy French accent) is a cult favorite among many, and an
awesome product. However, I honestly feel like these products are so
similar in the effect that they give. The Maybelline is a great product,
and not to mention I really like the sponge applicator.
Mat Velvet + foundation is a wonderful
mattifying foundation, loved by many women who have oily/combination
skin. The price tag, however, is pretty hefty. A great alternative is my
beloved Revlon Colorstay foundation! The consistencies are a bit
different, but both are medium to full coverage foundation with
mattifying properties!
Laguna is probably my favorite bronzer I
have found. I love the packaging, and the color that is buildable. It is
also not too shimmery, which I think is perfect for adding warmth to
the face and contouring. I found the Sephora Brand bronzer for fifteen
dollars cheaper, and an almost exact color. However, this bronzer is
completely matte, which doesn’t make it an exact dupe. I actually like
this better because I love a matte bronzer.
I think MAC makes the best gel eyeliner
of the high end brands, but fear not, there is something just as good.
The E.L.F. Cream Liner is seriously just as good, and a fraction of the
price. The brush it comes with is useless, so make sure you get a good
eyeliner brush (be it angled, tapered, or flat). Stay tuned to the
bottom of this post for good brush recommendations.
You might have read this post
on how I compared the two of these products, but I would be silly not
to include these powders in this post. So go and read my other post for
more details. Bottom line, the E.L.F. powder is not completely
identical, but it is a great HD powder!
I have only used MAC brushes ever since I
started getting serious about makeup. I built up a pretty good
collection. However, I lost quite a few of my brushes (much to my
dismay) and wanted to replace them without breaking the bank. I did a
ton of research and ultimately decided on Sigma brushes because they are
modeled exactly after MAC brushes (which I feel are the best). The
numbers of the brushes even used to be the same. I have been so pleased
with these brushes, I am only going to buy Sigma here on out. Check out a
full review of these brushes here.
