Best Makeup Dupes

We all know the feeling of wanting some new makeup, it's like when we walk past Sephora it is just calling your name. We also know the pain of finding a product in Sephora that you love and then looking a the price and want to start crying, because it's just not fair.

After spending too much money on makeup that I really can't afford, I thought to myself that there had to be some good dupe makeup brand out there. So I went to my computer and started looking up cheap makeup brands that had excellent reviews. The amount of dupe products that I found will actually blow your mind, you will never want to buy designer makeup again.

1. Primer

This product actually blew my mind, here I had been spending almost $40 for a Smashbox Primer! Once I did some research I found this amazing NYX Primer that did the exact same thing. You can get the NYX Primer for just $13 at any Ulta, Target or Walmart!

2. Lip Stick

Everyone is obsessed with the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, but if you don't want to drop $30 on a lipstick then ColourPop is the place for you. If you love the shade Exposed then get the dupe from ColourPop in Echo Park. ColourPop lasts all day and the shades are to die for!

3. Foundation

I used to live by Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD Stick Foundation, I think it has some of the best coverage I have ever seen. Once I found this dupe my life was forever changed. The Stick Foundation and the Liquid Foundation are basically the same thing so once I found the Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush Foundation it was life changing. Instead of paying $43 for the Make Up For Ever Foundation you can pay $13!

4. Contour Kit


I am very guilty of buying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, but who can blame me when it's just so beautiful! But $40 is a little too expensive for my preference, so when I found the NYX Contour Kit is just as good! It comes with so many different shades it's perfect for any skin tone!

5. Highlight

Personally, I believe that ColourPop has created the best dupes of all times when it comes to makeup. I have been dying to get the BECCA Highlighter in Opal forever, but I finally came across a ColourPop Highlighter in Wisp that's exactly the same! The BECCA Highlighter is 30 dollars more than the ColourPop one, which is only $8!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
