{DUPES} Makeup Dupes

       Hello there!  Do you enjoy having a little cash in your pocket to spend?  Well, I do!  Being beautiful can be a little costly.  There are products out there that are great but be on the costly side.  But no fears, there are some products that you can buy for way less and still have similar content/product. Today I will be discussing my favorite primer, foundation and concealer dupes.

       I will compare my favorite high end product with a dupe product that I currently buy now.  Okay first and foremost let's start with primer. Primer is a must when applying makeup.  I adore Benefit's Porefessional primer.

       This primer is simply a must have but the price range is a little iffy when you look at it.  Once you apply this product onto your face, your pores will completely disappear!  That is the one reason why I love this product.

The dupe for this product would be Maybelline's Baby Skin.

        This is super affordable and you can find this product at any drugstore/ department store.  It does most of the things that the porefessional does.  Alot of people has a problem with this product, they either claim it doesn't make you pores disappear or that it's too oily.  Too me I don't see what the problem is with this product, but then again everyone's skin is different.  

Now onto foundation!  I usually use Clinque's Acne Solutions, since I do tend to break out alot. 

       This product does have salicylic acid and it's very lightweight with a lot of coverage.  When I wear this I don't have to worry about my skin breaking out, or clogged up pores.  I also really like this product because it doesn't leave my skin greasy and it doesn't stray after awhile.

The dupe for this foundation would be E.L.F. Acne Fighting Foundation.

I adore this product!  It's almost the same product as the Clinque foundation.  It's really natural looking on my skin and it's very long lasting.  The best part is that it's really blendable and very smooth application.  But the downside to this product is that it's only available in 8 shades and usually my local Target and Walgreens would run out of my shade really quick.  

       Last but not least, I'm going to show you what concealers I really like.  I used to use the Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil.

       It has great coverage, and it's easily blendable.  The concealer is also very creamy, so if you have very dry flaky skin it would dry off.  But the downside to this concealer is that since it's a pencil concealer, you would have to sharpen it everytime it gets dull.  And when you sharpen it, most of the product would get eaten up by the sharpener. 

The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is the dupe. 

I was very excited to get this product because of how much rave there was about the Fit Me collection.  To my surprise the color suited my skintone very well. It was a very smooth application and a little does go a long way. Not to mention, it's not a pencil so there is no product going to waste. 

Well there was my favorite facial makeup dupes!  I hope this helped anyone looking to save a couple of bucks on makeup products.
