Drugstore Dupes Too Good to be Legal

There’s a common misconception that if you want quality, you have to spend a decent amount of money. Through years of scouring the beauty aisles of local drugstores, we’re found favorites that rival high-end competitors. Here are three of our absolute favorite dupes:

e.l.f. Ultra Precise Brow Pencil

e.l.f.’s brow pencil is the most comparable dupe to Anastasia’s cult favorite, Brow Wiz. This pencil has just the right amount of stiffness while still being easy to blend, ensuring your brows are snatched. Other comparable products by L’Oréal and Maybelline are often too waxy or not pigmented enough. e.l.f’s pencil comes in at about $5 and is just as good as the ABH Brow Wiz. One downside is that the product might not last you as long as Anastasia’s. Final thoughts: Still worth it. Buy it now!

Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso

This Milani Blush is sheer perfection and a perfect dupe for the NARS Orgasm blush. It’s a gorgeous combination of peach and pink hues with a dash of luminosity to give you a little bit of a glow. It works for virtually any skin tone and gives off a natural flush. The NARS blush achieves a similar look but with more pink tones and a significantly higher price tag. Final thoughts: Perfect color and perfect formula! There’s no excuse not to own this one!

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

This concealer is very similar to the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. The Fit Me Concealer is slightly less pigmented but gives you that perfectly layerable amount of coverage that doesn’t look too cakey. To note, this product has a fantastic shade range and works for most skin types. However, if you have sensitive skin, be sure to apply a primer or moisturizer before application. This concealer is best blended with a damp beauty sponge or your fingers. Final thoughts: Not an exact dupe, but still great.
