THE BEST MONEY SAVING BEAUTY DUPES by Annabel Birtles
Happy New Tier ! I hope you are all really well and keeping safe in the midst of lockdown 3.0 . This month , I am here to help the lockdown crunch and bring you my favourite money saving makeup dupes . What is a makeup dupe ? A dupe ( short for the word duplicate ) is a product that is similar in quality to another product and is usually much more affordable .
I understand the apprehension when the famous phrase is “ you get what you pay for ”, but trust me on this one , I have tried and tested each product and swear by the comparison . They transformed my makeup bag and now I sometimes struggle to understand how I justified the price I used to pay for products .
FOUNDATION
L ’ Oreal Paris True Match 30ml £ 9.99 is a dupe for Nars Sheer Glow 30ml £ 29.50
Nars was my holy grail of foundations so this dupe was one of my most successful finds . Containing SPF and Hyaluronic Acid the L ’ Oreal True Match achieves a flawless lightweight complexion , one to match and even rival Nars Sheer Glow . Just like Sheer Glow , its ultra-creamy formula will leave your skin glowing whilst improving skin brightness and texture .
CONCEALER
Maybelline Fit Me 6.8ml £ 5.99 is a dupe for Nars Creamy Concealer £ 24.00
Personally , I go through tubes of concealer very quickly , so if you are like me , you will definitely notice the savings . As soon as I tried the Fit Me concealer , I was hooked . Just like Nars , its easy application rivals other products and its translucent base and lightweight pigments deliver natural-looking coverage , achieving the perfect finish . Fit Me is a makeup dupe essential ( at more than half the cost )!
LIP GLOSS
I Heart Revolution Fantasy Lip Topper In Angel £ 3.00 is a dupe for Fenty Gloss Bomb Fussy £ 17.00
The Fenty gloss bomb collection has been a staple piece for me since its release . However , being part of a daily routine means they quickly needed replacing so I went looking for a dupe . Revolutions fantasy lip topper matched perfectly , its subtle shimmer delivers a super sheen finish , retaining the gloss bombs non-sticky formula and soft romantic pink shade .
MASCARA
L ’ Oreal Paradise Volumising Mascara £ 11.99 6.4ml is a dupe for Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara £ 22.00 4.8ml
Finding a great mascara that works for you is like securing a last-minute hair appointment on Christmas ever – rare . Which is why I was very sceptical when searching for a dupe . This dupe was actually a recommendation that I decided to try out and I am so happy that I did . The L ’ Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara is long lasting and effortlessly creates a fuller and thicker appearance . The best part is that the castoroil enriched formula keeps the product moist for much longer compared to the Too Faced Better Than Mascara .
