Best Drugstore Makeup Dupes

Makeup can be pretty pricey and when you find an awesome drugstore product that works just as good or even better than higher priced brands it is a total steal.

Primer: One of my favorite higher end primers is the Smashbox Photo Finish primer because it makes your skin look really smooth with foundation or even by itself. The drugstore dupe I found that matches the closest is the L’Oreal Infallible Mattifying Base. It has the same consistency and finish as the Smashbox Primer.

 

 

 

 

 

Foundation: My favorite foundation at the time is the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. It is a build-able foundation and it was coconut water in the foundation that also helps protect and take care of your skin. The Too Faced foundation can range around $39 at Sephora but a cheaper dupe at the drugstore is the Milani Conceal+Perfect foundation.

 

 

 

 

 

Concealer: Right now one of the best concealers is the Tarte Shape Tape concealer. A cheaper dupe for the Tarte concealer is the Colourpop No-Filter concealer. Although you cannot get Colourpop at a drugstore like Target or Walmart and only online, it is still a really good priced concealer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting Powder: The Laura Mercier setting powder has been a favorite for a long time now. It is talked about among almost every beauty Youtuber. A dupe we found that matches to the Laura Mercier powder is the Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless Powder in either their compact powder or loose powder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bronzer: The Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte bronzer is a really nice higher end bronzer to get a smooth bronzed finish but it can be a little pricey if you don’t want to spend so much on a bronzer. The Rimmel Natural bronzer is the closest dupe to the Too Faced bronzer. The Rimmel bronzer is also water-proof and SPF friendly!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blush:The Too Faced blush in Babylove is such a pretty mauve pink shade that looks great on almost every skin tone although it is such a great quality blush, sometimes you don’t want to spend more than $10 on a blush. The Milani Rose Blush in Romantic Rose is the same exact color match dupe. It has the same finish for a cheaper price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Highlighter: Right now almost every makeup brand has a really good highlighter out in store, like Fenty Beauty and Becca. My all time favorite highlighter is The Balm Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter. Although it is a reasonable priced highlighter there are other highlighters that give you the same look but for an even cheaper price. The ELF Moonlight Pearl highlighter super cheap for it’s amazing quality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eyeshadow: The Kyshadow palettes are very popular but do price fairly high online on her website. A really good dupe compared to the Kyshadows are the Clourpop palettes. They have similar shades and are reasonably priced for having more shades in the palette. Colourpop’s Yes, Please shadow palette is a really close dupe for the Kyshadow Burgundy Palette.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mascara: The Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara is another very popular mascara right now and is talked about by a lot of beauty Youtubers. It is priced fairly reasonably for it’s quality and with it being a higher brand name. A dupe for the Better Than Sex mascara is the L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Paradise mascara. They have similar packaging and the brush is almost the same shape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting Spray: One of my favorite setting sprays is the Urban Decay All Nighter. Almost any drugstore setting spray is a really good dupe for a setting spray. Right now I’ve been liking the Milani Make It Last setting spray. It has a 16 hour wear and they even have a dewy setting spray if you want to go for a dewy finish.
