Every girl obsessed with makeup knows that you can walk into Mac or Sephora with a crisp $100 bill after payday and walk out with three lipsticks. Brand name makeup can cost a fortune, especially for us girls in our teens and 20-somethings. Trust me, when your brows are on fleek nobody will notice if you used Anastasia or a five dollar drugstore knockoff; they'll be too busy complementing your perfectly arched and sharp lines. Here are a few drugstore dupes for popular makeup brands so that you can get all the glam and beat your face without breaking your bank.
1. Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer Vs. Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer
I think the dupe is even better and not just because of the $24 difference. I mean, seriously, if you have a hard to cover blemish, dark circles or you feel like rubbing that stuff all over your face to look like a porcelain doll, trust me you'll feel fiercer than ever.
2. Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix foundation stick Vs. Bobbi Brown
Another foundation that works absolute wonders and keeps your skin looking flawless all day long.
3. NARS blush Vs. Elf blush
There are so many cheaper versions of NARS' blushes that look virtually the same that are 10 times less expensive.
4. NARS highlight vs. Elf Highlight
Another NARS vs. Elf product that costs you one-tenth of the cost if you go with the Elf option which still glows on your cheekbones perfectly.
5. Mac lipstick vs. Drugstore lipstick
Here are several different makeup brands that'll be much cheaper than the OG Mac lipsticks. There isn't an exact dupe for every color, but here are some that have pretty close competitors.
6. Urban Decay Naked Palette Vs. Elf Studio Pro
It's not hard to recreate the famous naked palette smokey eye with virtually any other pigmented eyeshadow kit in natural colors.
7. Hourglass Cosmetics Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation Vs. Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation
$62 vs. $5 for seriously nearly the same result. Enough said.
8. Too Faced Better Than Sex Vs. Rimmel Scandalizes Retro Glam
If you're like me you know that sometimes one mascara just doesn't cut it and to really get nice long lashes you have to pile a few layers of different mascaras on. Rimmel's mascara makes a great first layer
9. Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Coulour Balm Vs. Revlon ColourBurst Balm Stain
Both offer the same vibrant and soft color with a stain that lasts for several hours except Revlon's version is $10 cheaper.
10. Smashbox Photo Finish Vs. NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer
Get your face ready to look glam without all the extra cost. Any primer is better than no primer; this just happens to be a pretty good alternative.
