“Budget” and “beauty” in one sentence? Impossible, you might think, after having devoted countless of pay checks on skin care, makeup, and tools.
But I guess that’s where the dupes come in, and in case you didn’t know, spot-on dupes do exist. Who doesn’t want high-end quality for a low price, right?
Here are five of the best from W7 that’s definitely worth trying!
THE DUPE: W7 Prime Magic Clear Face Primer
High-end counterpart: Smash Box Camera Ready Face Primer
This primer keeps your FOTD intact all day, without the need for touch-ups. It works pretty well in our extremely humid weather, too! Its viscous formula applies like a dream, smoothly and evenly, minimizing pores and fine lines along the way. The effect becomes even more visible once you begin applying your makeup!
THE DUPE: W7 Night Glow Highlighter and Illuminator
High-end counterpart: Benefit High Beam Highlighter
You’ll adore how Night Glow catches light and lets you shine bright like a diamond– well, moderately. It’s enough to make you look happy and gay! The formula is also easy to apply and blend, and dries up nicely, without an awkward shimmer.
THE DUPE: W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara
High-end counterpart: Benefit They’re Real Mascara
Compared to its expensive equivalent, you might need a few coats more to achieve deep black lashes with this mascara, but other than that, it lengthens and adds volume to your lashes pretty fine. And at such a reasonable price for an everyday product, who’s complaining?
THE DUPE: W7 Glowcomotion
High-end counterpart: Betty-Lou Manizer from The Balm
It’s a shimmer, a highlighter, and an eye shadow in one! If you aren’t convinced this is worth your money yet, then allow me to continue. The smooth, glittery powder is highly pigmented and works superbly whether you’re dabbing a little at the corners of your eyes, your cupid’s bow, or on your brow bone. You’ll love the overall *glow* it gives you as it’s subtle and natural-looking.
THE DUPE: W7 Lightly Toasted
High-end counterpart: Urban Decay Naked 1 Eye Palette
Think twelve natural colors that are easy to blend, are long-wearing, and with minimal fallout. You can easily come up with a multitude of day-to-night looks with this palette! The gorgeous earthy tones come in matte, satin, and shimmer, which are all flattering and very wearable together.
