![]() It is basically a skin illuminator that gives you a little bit of glow before putting your foundation on. Now, this is probably the most duped product on the planet: Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter. THE BEAUTY CROP UK Coco Gold Perfecting Primer - £10 on .uk YSL Touche Eclat Blur Primer 30ml - £27.20 (down from £32) at Boots The only two differences are in the fragrance (YSL smells divine, smells luxurious while The Beauty Crop one smells a bit like fake coconut) and the price tag: £32 vs £10 They do the same thing, look very similar in the packaging, texture and consistency are pretty much the same. Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer - £31 on Cult Beautyįor the Blurring Primers I can definitely tell that The Beauty Crop (British brand that is going viral on TikTok at the moment) has the perfect dupe for a very expensive YSL product. They are both Gel-based primers that create a tacky and sticky layer on the skin that will make foundation stick and stay in place. Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer VS ELF Power Grip Primer (I mean the name too :|) I have tried both and I can honestly tell you there is no difference on my skin. ![]() The most “on-trend” types of primer right now are definitely gripping primers (the tacky ones that make foundation stick on your face forever and ever) and the blurring ones (the kind that gives the idea we are all 15 years old with no pores).įor the Gripping Primer we have the dupe of the dupes: everybody and their mums is using this and to be honest I can understand why. Now I know that every skin type has different needs but with a good skincare routine underneath, using a primer is the secret to make your make-up last all day. If I have to be honest though, you can buy a full face of drugstore dupes from a lot of different brands for a fraction of the price, with pretty much the same product efficacy. If you are looking for the best beauty dupes, your go-to brands are probably going to be ELF, Makeup Revolution and Aldi (I know, it sounds bizarre but their LaCura range is a dupe-heaven). The current market, mainly thanks to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, is full of drugstore brands putting out their version of luxury brands staples, with Charlotte Tilbury being probably the most duped luxe brand on the scene right now (Soz Charlotte ). High-end beauty products are having it quite tough at the moment as plenty of drugstore brands are launching their cheaper version of their best sellers and if you are on the hunt for some spot-on affordable beauty dupes, here are my favourites:įIRST THING FIRST, WHAT IS A BEAUTY DUPE?Ī Beauty dupe is essentially a more affordable product that presents very similar characteristics and properties than a much more expensive one and that is sold at a way lower price point. We have always been conditioned by tv ads, magazines and trends to think that expensive products mean better quality and better performance, but if there is one thing that years of trying brands of all price tags taught me is that affordable beauty items can be as good as luxury ones if, sometimes, not better. Some people might find it superficial and unnecessary, but for many people, it is a hobby, a necessity, or a way to feel better about themselves. Obviously, at the same time, we still want to treat ourselves and splurge a little bit and for me, the way of doing it is to buy new makeup products. With the cost of living crisis getting worse by the day, we are all trying to stick to a budget and try to save money everywhere we possibly can (apparently the only businesses that are gonna see money are blankets producers because believe me no heating is gonna get switched on anytime soon ).
