A list of Drugstore Make-ups That Are Duplicates of Department Stores

I love make-up. I love everything about make-up. One thing that I don’t love about make-up is to get good make-up you have spend a lot of money purchasing it at department stores. Before you know it, you have dropped 200 dollars or more. Right? Wrong! Just about everyone I know is on a budget, myself included. I have put together a list of dupes that work the same if not better than department store make-up. Don’t believe me; try one of the items in this article yourself. You may just be pleasantly surprised at the amount of money you can save yet look amazing.


If you are looking for a swap from Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation costing approximately $60 dollars a bottle, you found the right place. Try Cover Girl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation for a mere $12! That is a $48 dollar savings! Cover Girl’s foundation is just as good as the higher priced foundation with benefits such as sun protection, oil-free formula, it’s lightweight; it smooths out imperfections, and your skin will look flawless.

Ok ladies, we all love our eyeliner. Finding a good eyeliner at a fraction of the cost is next to impossible. Wrong again! If you love Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Eye Pencil, which sells for 29 dollars, then you need to try Styli-Style Line and Seal Eyes that sells for under 3 dollars! You save 26 dollars for ONE eyeliner! The dupe is a great choice because they have a fantastic choice of colors, and the eye liner glides on your eyes without pulling your skin. Not only that, but the dupe actually stays put and will not run! You no longer have to worry about looking like Alice Cooper!

Just as important as foundation and eyeliner is our choice of eye shadow. No one likes to have creases after a long day. ICK! I just love the MAC Eye Shadow in All the Glitters, which sells for $15 dollars, but finances don’t allow me to purchase it anymore. So, I found a great dupe. Try NYX Eye shadow, which sells between $7 and as low as $3.50!

If you love bargain shopping and saving money, but don’t want to use horrible make-up, why not try some of the dupes in this article. You never know what you will spend your saved money on.
