Drugstore Dupes For High End Makeup l Christen Dominique
Milk Makeup$30.00- “This smells like a floaty, you know, like when you were a kid and you put floaties on before you went to the pool. That is what it's giving. But my skin does feel hydrated. I love the tackiness in this. It won an award. This is a good one. The hydration really sinks into the skin”▶ 1:22
- “I feel very comfortable hydrated gripping instantly”▶ 1:31
- “This one slips on the face a lot easier. This is thinner. I get the feeling that this is really just sitting on top of the skin and not really sinking in and giving that hydration”▶ 1:47
- “This side of my face now feels very tacky”▶ 2:08
- “The NYX side feels like my skin is kind of like I could barely move it. It's a weird feeling. It's very stiff”▶ 2:16
- “Both sides do feel like they are going to grip to foundation”▶ 2:23
- “What I say this is a dupe yes but you get what you pay for as far as the quality”▶ 2:28
- “This one takes a while to dry down, feels kind of stiff, but does have that same gripping effect”▶ 2:40
Drunk Elephant$39.00- “I kind of felt like this was going to grip to areas unevenly because of the formula underneath it and it is starting to peel it's exactly what I thought would happen honestly and that's why I didn't want to put it on but I just don't think the formulas mix well together”▶ 3:28
- “This one you kind of have to wear it on its own without anything underneath it”▶ 3:43
L'Oreal Paris$16.99True Match Lumi Glotion Natural Glow Enhancershade · Deep Glow- “This one seems to be gliding way easier on the skin. It's not flaking at all. Wow, oh my God, this one works really well. I'm really surprised”▶ 3:59
- “It definitely is a dupe and I'm going to say the performance is actually better with the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Glotion than this one, so that's a dupe but even better”▶ 4:10
NARS$55.00- “It's dewy, it's hydrating, it looks like really beautiful skin”▶ 4:38
- “Do you see the coverage? I mean full coverage, beautiful skin”▶ 4:49
- “My personal opinion is that the NARS is still better. It is $52, but again I think it's worth it. It's a foundation that gives you a new, healthy, better version of your own skin”▶ 6:15
L'Oreal Paris$14.99- “This one's a little more lightweight. I can still see the skin through it, so I wouldn't say on initial application it's super full coverage as the Nars one, but thinner isn't a bad thing actually”▶ 5:19
- “I'm noticing that this side is not as glowy as this side. It's a little more matte, but it's not matte matte. I would say this has more of a natural finish”▶ 5:51
- “This one is just going to take some time to build. It is a good one. I think $13 is amazing, so if you want to try this, this will give you a slight effect of it, but it's not going to be a complete dupe”
- no stillMAKE UP FOR EVER$89.00
- “The makeup forever feels a little heavier a little more dry”
- “Not saying makeup forever isn't as good it just blends a little bit more creamier. I don't know if maybe mine is a little older if that's what it is or it's just more buttery”
Catrice$8.00- “Wow that glides so beautifully onto the skin”▶ 7:45
- “This is so creamy it's like butter on the skin”▶ 7:56
- “The Catrice side just blends way easier into the skin”▶ 7:59
- “This is a definite dupe if you like Make Up For Ever. If you like to contour, this also has blush in it, has highlight, all the creams that you need”▶ 8:14
Rare Beauty$24.00Soft Pinch Liquid Blushshade · Happy
Blush Bomb Cream Blushershade · Dolly Rose- “Even the D foot is a tiny bit similar, a little bit brighter on the skin”▶ 9:23
- “Not as pigmented, it's a little bit more watery so I'm going to put more on. It has like a watery texture to it but the color is pretty similar”
- “If you want to try it out but don't have the $23 for this, definitely get the blush bomb from Revolution because you will have to build it up but you will get the same color. It is not the same consistency but you're still going to get that color”▶ 9:50
- “This already feels way more pigmented, just like fuller bodied than this one. It's a little brighter, not as glidy. It glides but not as creamy and thin as the Hourglass one”▶ 10:25
- “It doesn't feel as creamy but it gives really great coverage, almost feels like natural matte finish, and the Hourglass is leaning more towards like a dewy natural finish when it's all settled and done”▶ 10:54
- “I honestly think they're dupes. This is a dupe. They look the same. They look the same when everything's dry and blended. They're both nicely full coverage”▶ 11:12
e.l.f. Cosmetics$8.00- “e.l.f always has the dupes to every popular product so I wouldn't be surprised if this one ends up working out”
- “It is a lot more full coverage than the Hourglass one”▶ 6:06
- “I honestly feel like I would buy this one over this one”
Charlotte Tilbury$44.00Beauty Light Wand Highlightershade · Spotlight- “Charlotte Tilbury took this one I put on less it just looks way more naturally beautifully glowy and luminous”▶ 12:02
- no stille.l.f. Cosmetics$10.00
- “This one immediately is hard to blend, doesn't look as luminous or glowy, it's not as light reflecting. I don't like it”
Huda Beauty$60.00- “It's very fine. It almost made my under eye a little bit darker, but overall translucent”▶ 12:40
Maybelline$10.99- “Ooh this one is brightening my under eye which I know it's translucent but I do like a slightly brighter eye”▶ 12:58
- “I think it looks the same you guys what do you think like the texture is the same the lay down's the same but it's just a little bit more brighter”▶ 13:11
- “If it were me I would be getting the Maybelline Fit Me it's a lot cheaper and it works slightly better”▶ 13:22
- no stillFenty Beauty$38Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzershade · Private Island
- “Private Island is just a really beautiful natural looking bronze. I really like the way it just kind of melts into the skin even though it's a powder. I feel like it just makes your skin look like a natural soft hint of bronze”
Physicians Formula$15.99- “This smells amazing by the way, it's winning by the scent but I don't know about the performance”▶ 14:22
- “I feel like this is a lot lighter of a color than the Private Island, actually on the face it looks the same. It's very natural, very soft, just like the Fenty one”
Haus Labs$32.00Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powdershade · Dragon Fruit Daze
e.l.f. Cosmetics$8.00- “Do you think that looks the same? I feel like it's pretty good”
- “I'm going to say that the way that this feels and blends is a definite dupe”▶ 15:25
L'Oreal Paris$10.99- “I feel like I'm getting a really nice lift out of this. I think this one it's giving us more volume but it also gives the lift”▶ 8:54
- “I'm going to have to say that this one is a little bit better but L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise is a really good mascara if you're looking for an affordable option. It's up to you. I think they're a match”▶ 17:02
KISS$4.99My Lash But Better False Eyelashesshade · No Filters- no stillCharlotte Tilbury$28.00Lip Cheat Lip Linershade · Pillow Talk
- “They both glide on really well except the Charlotte Tilbury one has a little bit more tackiness to it which lets me know that it's going to last longer”
- no stillNYX$5.99Retractable Lip Linershade · Nude
- “This is poorly made. I'm going to just say that because I can feel like it's going to uh-oh it's not the same color. I feel like it's going to pop off”
- “This is definitely a lot lighter in color. It's kind of similar because it's a very soft nude but almost slightly pink but not as pink as Pillow Talk. They both have like a your lips but better kind of color”
Charlotte Tilbury$39.00
