Vote up the makeup dupes you swear by.
If you're a makeup junkie on a budget, you should know about all the best budget makeup dupes on the market. You might pine after those high-end, Instagram famous products, but many makeup dupes offer remarkably similar results at a fraction of the price.
Love the look of NARS Orgasm blush? There's a drugstore makeup that's just as good: Milani's Luminoso blush. Crushing on MAC's Ruby Woo lipstick? Swipe on Maybelline's Very Cherry instead. And that's just the tip of the beauty iceberg. From foundation to brow gel and everywhere in between, we've rounded up dupes for the best selling top-line makeup offerings.
Sure, some makeup is worth the splurge. But these tried and true favorites are just as good as the high-end makeup products.

Stila's Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow series of liquid eyeshadows offer bold, glamorous pops of color. The eyeshadows come in 14 different shades for $24 each. ColourPop's Supernova Shadows come in five different shades that are very similar to Stila's, and cost $7 each.
The Brow Wiz by Anastasia Beverly Hills is a thin brow pencil that allows you to create precise strokes mimicking the look of fine hairs. The pencil is $21. If you'd like a good dupe, L'Oréal Paris has you covered with their Brow Stylist Definer for only $8.99.
A primer that conceals large pores is beauty must-have, but you don't have to break the bank using this product. While Benefit's POREfessional Primer costs $31.00, NYX's Pore Filler sets you back just $14.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer provides medium to full coverage and blurs fine lines and wrinkles for $30. Maybelline's Fit Me Concealer gives NARS a run for its money with a price tag of $6.49.
Like basically everything in the Fenty Beauty line, the Match Stix Shimmer Skinsticks became instant hits thanks to their flattering, glowy shades. Don't want to drop $25 on a highlighter? Reach for Bright Idea Illuminating Sticks from Nyx. They offer gorgeous illumination in a snap, and they're just $8.
The Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in Koko K is a beautiful pale pink. The price on this lipstick is $17, but a great dupe for Koko K is Nyx's Matte Lip Cream in Istanbul. It costs just $6.50.
