The Best Makeup Dupes To Save You Money
You can’t beat discovering a holy grail product. You know, that one mascara, face cream or foundation that is so good it gives you a covergirl-worthy look. Unfortunately, these products aren’t always affordable. So, if you can’t justify splurging on the original or just need a cheaper copy-cat version to see you through until payday, here are some of the best makeup dupes out there.
The Best Makeup Dupes You Need Right Now
1. Foundation – NYX vs Estée Lauder
I’m willing to bet that every woman in the UK has used Estée Lauder’s cult Double Wear foundation at some point in her life – and it’s no surprise why! Long-wearing and comfortable, it not only airbrushes away blemishes but boasts some serious staying power. The only downside is its price tag of £34.
That’s where NYX comes in. Just like Double Wear, their Can’t Stop Won’t Stop foundation doesn’t budge. In fact, it’s probably one of the best affordable foundations out there, giving you long-lasting coverage that still looks flawless at the end of the day. Plus, it’s only £15.
2. Eyeshadow Palettes – W7 vs HUDA, Urban Decay & Anastasia Beverly Hills
When it comes to eyeshadow palettes, there’s pretty much an affordable copy-cat version for every cult one out there. When it comes to the best makeup dupes, though, you can’t beat W7.

Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Modern Renaissance vs W7’s Delicious
Every makeup lover will tell you that ABH’s Modern Renaissance palette is a must-have. Of course, £43 can be a bit of a stretch, so if money is a bit tight, I’d recommend getting
3. Mascara - Too Faced vs L’Oréal
Too Faced’sBetter Than Sex Mascara has earned a cult following (particularly in the US). If you’re a fan of thick mascara brushes that makes your lashes look fuller and curlier, then you’ve no doubt had this mascara recommended to you before now. Retailing at £19, though, it is a little on the pricey side.
A great alternative?
4. Gel Eyeliner – Bobbi Brown vs Maybelline
When it comes to gel eyeliners, it doesn’t get much better than
If you don’t want to spend £20 on Bobbi Brown, though, then
5. Blush – NARS vs Sleek
I couldn’t talk about classic products and their best makeup dupes without mentioning NARS’s emblematic blush Orgasm. A beautiful pop of colour that really brightens your whole complexion, it’s no surprise that it’s a favourite among beauty bloggers and celebrities. Retailing at £25, though, it takes quite a large chunk out of your bank account.
Luckily, Sleek have provided us with their gorgeous Rose Gold blush which is an almost perfect match. Highly-pigmented, it has a truly breath-taking colour payoff that sits beautifully on your skin. Better yet, it’s only £4.49.
And there you have it Glossies, the best makeup dupes that will save you a lot of money without compromising on quality. Sounds pretty great right?
