High-end makeup dupes: Get the look for cheap!

 

Let’s be real: Spending $50 on a couple eye shadows isn’t exactly realistic. Some of us would rather spend our money on new jeans or nights out to the movies. Even though all of those Naked palettes are beautiful, we’ve found similar items that won’t cost you a week’s allowance. Check out our favorite drugstore products that will give you a high-end look.

    The perfect matte lipstick is an absolute necessity in any girl’s makeup collection. However, spending $30 on one color means you’ll be rockin’ the same hue for quite a long time! Get more bang for your buck with this matte lip color from NYX. At just $6, you could get five new colors for the price of one high-end, brand-name lipstick.

    If your mascara doesn’t give off the look of false lashes, you definitely want to try this product! It takes a bit more time to apply, but the results are worth it. The high-end version of product would set you back $35, but this one from L’Oreal is reasonably priced.

    BB Cream is super quick and easy to apply, so it is perfect for you gals who try to hold on to any last bit of sleep in the morning. A brand-name BB Cream may be too expensive to incorporate into your daily routine, so check out this formula from Maybelline for a one-step makeup product that is perfect for the colder months.
