When you're truly, madly, deeply addicted to makeup, you're willing to spend every last dollar to your name on every damn thing in Sephora.
But when you're 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're 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.
