Makeup Dupes For Cheap

This could be why the formulations of cheaper products are winning over beauty enthusiasts everywhere. All dupes are available at! CONCEALER High-end: Touche Eclat by Yves Saint Lauren $50 Drugstore dupe: L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Lumi Highlighter OR Physicians Formula Nude Wear Touch of Glow (under $10) FOUNDATION High-end: Giorgio Armani Luminous Foundation $65 Drugstore dupe: L’Oreal True Match Liquid Foundation (under $15) FRUGAL TIP If your foundation rubs off on the collar of your shirt or blouse, put a touch of dish soap on the stain and gently rub it in with a toothbrush. The combination of the dish soap (grease-cutting) and the bristles will lift the stain away. Then launder as usual.

I'd appreciate any recommendations. What would be the equivalent for a PC (Windows 7 x64)? It seems nothing compares to an Apogee Duet, but as it's only available for Macs, it's not helping me. Been looking at more Line6, Onyx, etc - all seem to be ok but none has so far stood out. I've been using a Line6 Toneport UX2 for quite sometime and would like to upgrade to a new high-quality audio interface, but it's been difficult to get a solid recommendation.

BLUSH High-end: Nars Orgasm Blush $35 Drugstore dupe: NYX Powder Blush in Pinched or Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink (under $10) MASCARA High-end: Dior Diorshow Mascara $35 Drugstore dupe: L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara OR Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (under $5) FRUGAL TIP Tester mascara wands are great to keep on hand. Spray a little bit of hairspray in your palm, swirl the bristles in the spray, and then use the wand to “set” your eyebrows.

This tip works great and saves you buying an extra eyebrow setting product. LIPS High-end: Kylie Jenner’s Lipsfrom MAC to her own Lip Kits (prices start at $25 and up) Drugstore dupe: Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Warm Me Up and Rimmel 1000 Kisses Pencil in Mauve Shimmer (under $10) FRUGAL TIP To soothe dry and chapped lips, make an easy and cheap lip scrub at home. In your palm, combine a little bit of Vaseline with a little bit of white sugar. Apply the scrub to your lips and gently exfoliate further by rubbing a dry toothbrush (gently) over your lips in a circular motion.

Wipe away (or rinse off) scrub to reveal soft and hydrated lips.

While I don't think my blush collection is anywhere close to resembling massive, or even that comprehensive, I think it's still safe to say that I've accumulated 200% more blushes than I had last year. Somehow I keep finding hidden niches in my blush collection that 'must' be filled - such is the joy and sickness of being a makeup lover! One such niche that was aching to be filled was to have a rosy, kinda pink-brown-ish, kinda contour, kinda blush type of tone. You know - one of those blushes you can slap on eyes closed and wear with anything because it literally is like your skin, but better. You know, like an Exposed. Anyone who is a fan of makeup or a reader of blogs know what I am referring to. Tarte's Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed is one of the most popular blush shades on the market right now.

It's renowned for being wearable by just about anyone and literally fool-proof to apply. This is the type of color that is impossible to over-apply, yet is pigmented enough to give your face color and life when all you're feeling is like death. I wanted it bad people; however, I didn't want to buy it. Call me stupid, but for some reason I didn't want to shell out money to purchase the real deal at Sephora, so I set about finding myself a cheap dupe and after much google searching and agonizing, I think I may have found it. The in Rose Fawn is a dusky rose-pink and offers easy, blendable wear for under $10. Available in drugstores across the country, Rose Fawn was the cheapest Exposed dupe I could find and I love how it's from a Canadian brand too! The Blushon blushes come in 10 shades, with Rose Fawn falling somewhere in the middle of the color range.

In terms of packaging, the Blushon blush is encased in your standard flip-top and contains 3 g of product. Compared to most blushes though, the pan size is fairly small and not much bigger than a MAC single eyeshadow compact, so you'll have to use your smaller brushes to apply. As well, the other annoying bit about this blush, but which also makes it foolproof, is that the pan is very hard so it takes a long while to build up color on your face.

You'll want to use your stiffest blush brush for this and then swirl it very generously all along your cheekbones. While with most of my blushes, I have to gingerly tap it, with the Blushon, I literally dig into it with my brush as much as I can. Even doing so, the end result is very sheer and subtle; in fact, the color payoff of this blush is so soft that I couldn't even swatch it for you! Trust me though, that it's there. Like an Hourglass Ambient powder, the finish of Rose Fawn is something that can only be detected in person - and isn't that just the type of natural effect that Exposed is supposed to give? For $7.95, I'm glad I got this dupe and would recommend the Annabelle Blushon blushes to anyone. Unfortunately, getting this one only made me want to try the real deal more!
