I adore shopping for makeup at Sephora, but the truth is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a perfect face. You don’t need to spend a lot of money on the newest beauty products when there are drugstore dupes that work just as well and cost less than half as much. I know there are a lot of people who love drugstore cosmetic products who realize that many of them are equally as excellent as, and sometimes even better than, more expensive ones.
1. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Foundation can make or break a look, so it’s important to take the time to pick one that matches your skin tone and takes care of your skin concerns. People say that this popular foundation can be used instead of Bobbi Brown liquid foundation and MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation. Fit Me is an excellent product to test because it comes in numerous forms, like a gel stick.

2. Ask NYX Lip Liner
NYX is one of the most popular drugstore makeup companies, so you should absolutely give it a try. For example, people commonly compare NYX pencil lip liners to MAC lip liners. Some of the most popular colors from NYX include Toast, Espresso, Ever, and Mauve. If you want a MAC liner, try NYX first.
At ulta.com, the price is $3.49.
3. LA Girl Pro Concealer
I didn’t want to believe all the talk about this concealer, but it really is that excellent! This concealer covers up pretty well and comes in a lot of different colors, so there’s something for everyone. A lot of people say this concealer is like MAC’s Pro Longwear Concealer.

5. E.l.f. Studio Blush
You have to love e.l.f. Cosmetics for making makeup that is so cheap. To be honest, I didn’t think much of it when it first came out, but now it’s one of my favorite brands! There are a lot of e.l.f. blushes that are just as good as Nars’ well-known blushes. Pink Passion (shown), Candid Coral, and Blushing Rose are some of the most popular colors.

6. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer
YSL make the most beautiful makeup, in my opinion, and using their products is a real treat. I love their goods, but I can’t always rationalize spending so much money on makeup. For example, everyone loves their Touche Éclat Radiant Touch, but not everyone can afford it. Maybelline was smart to agree and make their own highlighting concealer.

7. Rimmel London Natural Bronzer
Bronzer will be the most popular item on everyone’s shopping list this summer. A powder bronzer is a simple way to get a lovely, sun-kissed glow if you don’t like using fake tanner on your face. For less than half the price, Rimmel’s Natural Bronzer is just as good as Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess!

8. E.L.F. Essential Shimmering Facial
Nail polish, nail care, pink, product, skin,This highlighter has a faint pink shimmer that will make you look younger and more awake. It lasts all day, mixes well, and works over other makeup, much like its high-end cousin. It’s easy to use and manage the amount because it’s squeezable, unlike its high-end cousin. Compare to Benefits High Beam, which costs a stunning $25 more.

9. Essence It’s all about Matt! Fixing Compact Powder
This kind of pressed powder is a blessing for when your face gets oily in the middle of the day. But when you compare this to the more expensive Makeup For Ever HD Pressed Powder, you’ll see a lot of savings.

10. Nyx Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer
No one can steer clear of a superb primer. This product is great since it covers fine wrinkles and pores, makes your makeup smooth, is non-greasy, and is only a fraction of the comparison product price! Many compare to Smashbox Photo Finish Primer but I personally enjoy Nyx more (and not because it’s cheaper).
