Admit it: With all these makeup products coming out which are pricey or even sold abroad, sometimes we end up looking for the next best thing. Now, instead of scouring the web for beauty reviews, we can now check one Instagram account dedicated to dupes.
Dupe That basically compares swatches from high-end brands like MAC, Kat Von D, and Stila to more affordable alternatives that match the original.
They don’t just suggest dupes for lippies. There are also swatches for highlighters.
The owners of the account, Kayla and Lindsey, tells Allure that they started the account when “we found ourselves repurchasing items that were similar to what we already owned. We hoped we could help others out in the same situation, whether it be with an affordable alternative, or by preventing them from purchasing something similar to what they already have.”
So, if you’re still bummed out about the Kylie Lip Kit being overpriced, you can go look for dupes of that on this account.
