Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
This primer is known to kill any redness in your skin--but it might also damage your budget.
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, $39
DUPE: NYX Photo-Loving Primer in Green
The NYX primer is a perfect dupe, with an even more perfect price. It also comes in clear and purple, which are dupes for Smashbox's other primers.
NYX Photo-Loving Primer in Green, $13
Tarte Lipsurgence
People love this creamy, pigmented Tarte liptint, but they definitely don't love the price.
Tarte Lipsurgence, $21
DUPE: Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm
This Pixi dupe has the same creamy texture as the original, plus it comes in even more colors. Even better? It's available at Target!
Pixi Tinted Brilliance Balm, $14
NARS Albatross Highlighting Blush
This is Kim Kardashian's favorite highlighter--and we're pretty sure only she can afford it. It's known to give skin a gorgeous glow.
NARS Albatross Highlighting Blush, $30
DUPE: e.l.f. Blush in Gotta Glow
This e.l.f. dupe costs a TENTH of the Nars product and according to reviewers, works just as well!
e.l.f. Blush in Gotta Glow, $3
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation
This full-coverage foundation is a makeup artist favorite, but for many, it's way too expensive for everyday use.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation, $43
DUPE: Revlon Photoready Foundation
This Revlon foundation is the perfect dupe--it's inexpensive enough that you won't feel horrible if you need to re-apply throughout the day.
Revlon Photoready Foundation, $8.39
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
Kat Von D liner is known to be pretty much indelible. Sadly, it's also pretty expensive for something you'll need to replace every two months.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, $19
DUPE: Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner
Lovers of ColorStay liner say it never budges, making it a great dupe to help you save up for that new purse you've been eyeing.
Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner, $5.39
Nars Blush in Orgasm
Nars' peachy gold Orgasm blush has been called 'the best of all time,' but at $39 it's pretty darn expensive.
Nars Blush in Orgasm, $30
DUPE: Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink
Beauty lovers swear by this Milani dupe, which has the same gorgeous color and finish at a fraction of the price.
Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink, $7.49
Yves Saint Laurent TOUCHE ÉCLAT Radiant Touch
This has been called the "creme de la creme" of highlighting concealers. But at $42, it's hard to believe that it's actually worth it.
Yves Saint Laurent TOUCHE ÉCLAT Radiant Touch, $42
DUPE: Maybelline Dream Lumi Highlighting Concealer
Savvy shoppers swear by this dupe, which they day does a phenomenal job--and doesn't cost more than three lunches.
Maybelline DreamLumi Highlighting Concealer, $7.99
Diorshow Mascara
This mascara gives your lashes a ton of volume, but doesn't give your bank account any relief whatsoever. Worth it? We're not sure.
Diorshow Mascara, $27.50
DUPE: L'oreal Voluminous Mascara
This mascara will give you the same volume boost as Dior's--and you can pick it up at your nearest drugstore for a fraction of the cost.
L'oreal Voluminous Mascara, $7.29
MAC Prep+Prime Fix+
This is the Holy Grail of setting sprays; it basically comes with a no-smudge guarantee. Unfortunately, it's so expensive that it might be worth the blush slide.
MAC Prep+Prime Fix+, $22
DUPE: e.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set
This e.l.f. dupe will hold your makeup in place just as well--and it also smells incredible.
e.l.f. Makeup Mist & Set, $3
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil
People swear by these long-lasting, super pigmented eyeliners. Unfortunately, as people who wear liner know, you can go through a pencil a month which means that a $19 favorite isn't great for your budget.
Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil, $19
DUPE: Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner
At almost 1/4 of the cost of Urban Decay pencils, these liners are 100% the best dupe. People swear by their intense color and staying power.
Prestige Total Intensity Eyeliner, $5.65
