You don’t always have to buy high-end products for them to work well. You can try something that’s inexpensive and works just as well. Here are the 10 best drugstore beauty dupes worth your money.
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
Do you want to say bye-bye to your pores? Then the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is the perfect primer for you! Many say this is a dupe for the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, and it is a much cheaper alternative. If it gets the job done like the more expensive one, then it is a no-brainer to buy this!
L’Oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50
L’Oreal’s Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF is the perfect dupe for It Cosmetics CC Nude Glow Cream. One might be labeled as a foundation and one might be labeled as a CC cream, but they have similar finishes. And of course, with all the dupes on this list, the L’Oreal version is cheaper.
e.l.f. Makeup Brushes
E.l.f. is a company that makes a lot of affordable products. So when I saw that this makeup brush set was only $12, I knew it was a steal. The best part about e.l.f. is that they make quality products at great price points. There are plenty of makeup brush sets that cost a lot of money, but save your dollars and buy this one instead!
e.l.f. Mad for Matte Eyeshadow Palette Nude Mood
Everyone needs a good nude eyeshadow palette! It’s no surprise to see e.l.f. on this list again. It might show up a few times, to be honest. This product is a perfect dupe for the Tarte Tartelette Amazonian Clay Palette. The e.l.f. one might have a couple of fewer colors, but the range is similar and the formulas are also similar.
NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray
NYX is a powerhouse in the drugstore makeup department. So hearing that their Matte Finish Setting Spray is a dupe for Urban Decay’s All-Nighter Setting Spray made perfect sense. Your makeup will last a long time with this spray and it will look good too! Don’t spend your money on the more expensive option, buy the cheaper one today!
SheGlam Color Bloom Liquid Blush
SheGlam Color Bloom Liquid Blush is a great dupe for the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. Both have amazing color payoff and have similar formulas. The SheGlam one might be superior with its dome-shaped applicator but that’s for you to decide! Regardless you will look absolutely amazing.
e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator
You could spend up to about $40 on a good lip exfoliator, but our real MVP e.l.f. has one for only $5. This lip exfoliator helps remove dead skin from your lips so you can have the perfect pout for your lipstick. It’s gentle but it is definitely going to get the job done. Try this before applying any lip product and see how smooth your lips will be!
Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pencil
The Pixi Endless Silky Eye Pencil glides on like a dream! It has a similar formula to the Laura Mercier Caviar Tightline Eyeliner but you guessed it, it costs less than the high-end beauty brand. Both are gel formulas that are made to last, but when the price is right, you probably will go with the Pixi brand.
