Yes, yes another dupe article. I can’t help it – I love a good bargain, especially when I don’t have to give up on formula or performance! We’ve done Zara, Sephora, and generic dupes but today we’ll be spotlighting one of my personal favourite drugstore brands – e.l.f. An industry favourite, e.l.f is a brand that allows MUAs and enthusiasts alike to achieve that coveted, high-quality makeup look without breaking the bank.
Without further ado, here are a few of my personal favourites plus a few crowd-approved ones!
The e.l.f 16 HR Camo vs. Tarte Shape Tape
With its substantial applicator and long-lasting formula, you get premium coverage for a fraction of the cost, compared to Tarte’s hefty price tag. A budget-friendly way to hide those pesky spots.
The e.l.f Brow Lift vs. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
e.l.f’s Brow Lift stands toe-to-toe with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. Both aim to offer that trendy ‘soap brows’ look, providing a fluffy, all-day hold.
The e.l.f Perfect 10 Palette vs. Urban Decay Naked 3
e.l.f’s Perfect 10 Palette is a stellar dupe for Urban Decay’s Naked 3. Selecting the top 10 shades from the 12 in the Naked 3, e.l.f offers a comparable colour range and very similar finish.
e.l.f Lash ‘N Roll vs. Benefit Roller Lash
e.l.f Lash ‘N Roll Mascara rises to the occasion, challenging Benefit’s cult classic Roller Lash. Does it smudge? Not at all! It stays put for over 10 hours, matching the longevity and quality of its high-end counterpart, all while keeping your lashes looking fabulous.
e.l.f Glow Reviver vs. Dior Lip Oil
Why wait for a sale when e.l.f’s Glow Reviver Lip Oil offers a similar look and feel to Dior’s version? You can even note that the e.l.f version has a delightful peppermint scent, adding a refreshing twist to your lip care routine.
e.l.f Halo Glow Liquid Filter vs. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter
While the price difference is more than half, both formulas sport a blend of porcelain flower extract which reflects light for a brighter glowing complexion. Even the packaging is alike!
e.l.f Squeeze Me Lip Balm vs. Laneige Berry Lip Glowy Balm
Now the e.l.f dupe is a little smaller than the Lineage, but it’s still a steal deal; especially for the winter since the Laneige lip balm is a little glossier, its dupe is much balmier which helps significantly with hydration!
The thing I love about e.l.f is that the brand as a whole proves that you don’t need to splurge for good, unbeatable formulation. With these amazing dupes for high-end products, you can keep your makeup game strong without stretching your wallet.
