2. Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix
Instead of: Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick
The Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix has been receiving a lot of praise from people all over the world and is brilliant for the price that it is available at currently in the market.

Instead of: Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Lolita
We might all love Kat von D, her incredible style and her amazing looks, but to save on some money while still achieving her looks, opt for the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Cannes, which has an almost similar color and texture, making it nearly identical to the other product. Nude lips are in this season, and combining them with the highly popularized matt finishes is sure to keep you looking fabulous as always.
4. Flower Beauty On Your Mark Liquid Eyeliner
Instead of: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Eyeliner
Pen tip eyeliners are perfect for those who want to get those perfect wings but have a hard time keeping their hand steady. For that perfect cat eye, and to avoid messy lines, try the Flower Beauty on Your Mark Liquid Eyeliner. It has the same pen-like tip to give you the precision you need to make the perfect lines.
5. Rimmel London 1000 Kisses Lip Liner
Instead of: Smashbox Always Sharp Lip Liner
The Rimmel London version of this liner comes in the same tip as the Smashbox version, and is also available in a lot more colors than the Smashbox version, making this the perfect liner to add to your collection! The liner has a creamy texture and is ideal for precise application. The product also has a high pigment, making it appear more vibrant on the lips.

Instead of: YSL Eyeliner Effect Faux Cils
Let’s face it. We all love our liquid lines. No matter how many types of eyeliner tips and brushes come out, we always have our trusty liquid liner by our side. And instead of opting for an expensive YSL liner, go in for this one from Maybelline instead. The Maybelline version is also one of the blackest blacks that you will find on the market, giving you the perfect dark eyeliner that you need to brighten up your eyes.

7. Nyx Micro Brow
Instead of: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
With perfect brows being the craze this season, this list couldn’t not have at least one brow option on it. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz might be the talk of the town, but for a more budget option, try the Nyx Micro Brow to get the same look at a fraction of the cost. The micro brow pencil comes in several different colors and has a double edge tip, one for coloring in, and one for combing it out.

Instead of Marc Jacobs Remedy
For those who prefer liquid concealers in the form of a pen then this product called Pur Disappearing Ink is the right one for you. Available in several shades, this nifty little concealer is sure to cover those tough spots and looks almost similar to the one from Marc Jacobs. The Pur Disappearing Ink is a four in one concealer and is great for all skin types and shades.

9. L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte
Instead of Becca Ever-Matte Shine Proof
When it comes to matte foundations, Becca Ever-Matte might be a beauty blogger favorite, but the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Matte allows you to achieve the same look at an extremely low cost. The Pro Matte is just as good and long-lasting as the one from Ever-Matte, making it a must-have among low-cost beauty favorites. It comes in a variety of shades, so it is easy to find one that is perfect for you.

10. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
Instead of: BeautyBlender
The great BeautyBlender sponge might be an extremely popular choice for makeup bloggers, but is a long shot for a small budget. Even though beauty blenders have only come out recently, they have become a makeup essential that everyone most definitely needs to have. The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is a good alternative that feels just as good as the BeautyBlender, allowing you to blend your makeup to absolute perfection.
You don’t have to have the most expensive makeup on the market to look like a million bucks, and with these neat little makeup dupes, you can achieve so without having to tone down on quality or the overall look.
