I live my day to day life via ballin’ on a budget and one of my favorite parts of my day is doing my makeup. I am just as obsessed with binging hours of make-up tutorials on YouTube as the next, but what isn’t so hot is spending my whole paycheck on makeup! Check out the BEST dupes for high-end products and where to get them below.

 

Kat von De Tattoo Liner VS Maybelline Eye Studio Eyeliner

An easy cat eye is an easy way to turn a day look to “ready for the night”.  Kat von D ringing in $20 for a liquid pen eyeliner is no match for Maybelline’s perfect dupe for just $5.99. Now there is no reason to not rock some bold eyeliner on a night out. Click here to check out the Maybelline eyeliner!

 

 

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer VS Makeup Revolution Concealer from Ulta

When Shape Tape first came out, EVERYONE was talking about it. But with the small concealer bottle costs $27, the world is in need of a dupe. And we found it, Makeup Revolution concealer is ready to block any blemish, brighten your eyes and blends so smooth you won’t ever go back to overpaying for concealer!

Urban Decay All Nighter VS Maybelline 24-hour Foundation

I believe finding a foundation that is a perfect match for a high-end one is almost impossible. Until I found the Maybelline 24-hour foundation. It stays on ALL day and has a variety of color variations. Click here to find it at Ulta!

Smash Box Photo Finish Primer VS Joah Glow Activator Radiance Primer

FINALLY a real primer. This Joah Glow primer rings in for a total of $10 versus Smash Box’s $36 primer and with this dupe, you only need one small pump of primer to last a whole day AND night, it’s unbeatable. Best part? There are gold bits inside of it! Click here to find it at CVS!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara VS Maybelline Lash Sensational

When I say this mascara is my HOLY GRAIL mascara, I mean it. It doesn’t clump up when applying, and it’s only $9! After you try this mascara, you will never pay $20 for that Too Faced mascara again! Click here to find it at CVS!

Urban Decay Setting Spray VS Morphe Setting Spray

If you’re not using setting spray before a night out, wyd? No fear though, the Morphe setting spray is ready to lock your makeup look for a whole night out, no matter how hard you’re dancing.  If you’re not convinced already, the spray is continuous so there’s no missing any part of your makeup look. And for HALF the price of the Urban Decay Setting Spray, this $15 dupe is a must! Click here to find the Morphe Setting Spray! 

 

Beauty Blender VS Morphe Blending Sponge

If you haven’t heard, beauty blenders changed the makeup world FOREVER ( according to James Charles) But paying $20 for only one, doesn’t seem right. Good thing Morphe came to save the day AGAIN, with the perfect dupe for only $8. And if you ask me, I love it MORE ( with that price, who wouldn’t?). Click here to find the Morphe Sponge!

 

 

Laura Mercier Setting Powder VS Rimmel London Match Perfection Loose Powder

Ask any make-up guru what their favorite setting powder is, you’ll hear Laura Mercier. But ain’t nobody have time to be spending $40 on it! This perfect dupe is only $5 and is available in pretty much every drug store. Click here to find it at Target!

 

Urban Decay Heat Palette VS Jaclyn Hill Ring The Alarm

As if Morphe hasn’t done enough for the drugstore world, they made it even better thanks to Jaclyn Hill. Her Ring The Alarm Morphe pallet came for Urban Decay’s Heat pallet quick and only for $15 versus Urban Decay’s $54 palette! Click here to get it at Ulta!

 

We love a budgeting sister, and now with all of these dupes, there’s no reason not to be serving looks and savings.
