When you are truly, madly, deeply addicted to makeup, you are willing to spend every last penny to your name on every damn thing in Sephora.
But when you are broke AF, you need to curb your cosmetics budget.
Makeup dupes can help!!
As a refresher, dupes are cheaper products that are comparable to a more expensive, often higher quality products. They are usually similar in color and/or consistency. While the higher end products typically last longer and have more impressive benefits, dupes are nothing to scoff at.
