We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us their favorite inexpensive beauty dupe that's BETTER than the original version. Here are the beautiful and money-saving results:
1. Wet n Wild Catsuit Liquid Lipsticks saturate your lips with matte color and last ALL DAY, rivaling Jeffree Star's Velour Lipsticks.
2. NYX Epic Ink Liner delivers the perfect wing every single time — without letting your money 💸 fly 💸 away like other brands.
3. Try Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer to brighten your under eye without creasing, plus, it'll last even LONGER than Tarte's Shape Tape.
4. Blend your makeup to perfection with Eco Tools Perfecting Blender Duo — you get two sponges for less than HALF the price of ONE original Beautyblender.
5. Colourpop's Super Shock Highlighter in "Wisp" will help you glow up just the same as the much pricer Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector.
6. Pregame your makeup with Innis Free No Sebum Blur Primer, which masks pores and fine lines even better than Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer.
7. Sephora Cream Lip Stain will make you say "so long, Stila!"
8. Milani Lash Trifecta Mascara lengthens, curls, and separates your lashes for a truly clump-free look for a fraction of the price.
9. NYX Pore Filler minimizes pores and creates a smooth canvas for makeup — just like the pricier Benefit Porefessional Primer.
10. Recreate the look of cult beauty fave Nars Blush in "Orgasm" by swapping it out for The Balm's "Hot Mama!" (for $11 less).
11. Coty Airspun Translucent Powder never looks cakey and trounces expensive brands' setting powders — looking at you, Laura Mercier and Kat Von D.
12. BH Cosmetics Palettes deliver huge pigment payoffs (even better than the Naked Palettes) for almost $40 less.
13. Try Colourpop's Ultra Matte Lips fan-favorite shades so you don't have to wait forever for Kylie Lip Kits to be restocked or shell out for Smashbox's liquid lipsticks.
14. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Pencils glide on with no tugging, with a creamy formula that rivals Urban Decay's eye pencils.
15. BH Carli Bybel Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette is a dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit.
16. Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick comes in 20 gorgeous matte colors and is a perfect match for Smashbox's Always On Matte Liquid Lipstick.
17. Royal Langnickel Prismatic Face Perfecting Kit consists of four brushes with tightly-packed fibers for a perfect makeup finish that matches the original Artis brushes.
18. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara fans out lashes and curls them just as well as Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara — similar pink packaging, vastly different prices.
19. Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation is so good, it'll make you ask, "Why did I ever buy designer foundation?"
20. NYX Micro Brow outlasts Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, has the same colors, and will make your brows look better than ever.
21. Swipe some Colourpop Pressed Blush on your cheeks for a rosy glow similar to Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush.
22. E.L.F. Shadow Lock Lid Primer will keep your eyeshadow pigmented and crease-free all damn day and is a perfect dupe for Urban Decay's Primer Potion.
23. Milani Stay Put Brow Color will stop you spending all your cash on Anastasia Dip Brow pomade — it's just as good AND actually comes with the spoolie and brush applicator.
24. NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer truly has you covered (and will keep you covered) even better than way more expensive brands like Cover FX.
When you realize if you buy everything on this list instead of the expensive version, you'd save over $600 total:
