Hola Beauties! Who doesn’t love dupes? There is nothing better than finding an affordable option that works the same or even better than a high-end product. Today, I am sharing the Best Makeup Dupes from 2021, these products are almost exact dupes, and some of them perform better than the expensive option.
It took me some time to come up with this list; I have seen so many posts and videos about dupes, but to be honest, not all of them are dupes or perform close to them.
I want to give amazing, affordable options that can replace your favorite high-end makeup products. This article is focused on Face Makeup dupes. I am working on a second part for Eyes and Lips makeup.
Okay, let’s jump to the list and save some money!

This post is about the Best Makeup Dupes 2021
Best Primer Dupes
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
This primer is great, provides great hydration, and prolongs your makeup; however, it retails for 34 USD, 44 CAD.
An amazing dupe for this product is the Hard Candy Hydrating Primer. This product provides the same results; it has the same sticky feeling that helps your makeup longevity, and best of all, it retails for only 6.96 USD, 8 CAD.

Benefit Porefessional Pore Minimizing Primer
This is one of the most popular high-end primers; this product minimizes the look of your pores and fine lines, providing a smoother canvas for your makeup. This primer retails for 32 USD, 43 CAD.
I found a very affordable option that, in my opinion, performs exactly or even better than the Benefit primer, and this is the Makeup Revolution Pore Blur. This product retails for 8 USD, 12 CAD, and has 0.95 Oz, more than the Benefit with 0.75. The formula and results are identical.

Best Tinted Moisturizer Dupe
Urban Decay Hydromaniac Glowy Tinted Hydrator
This is a nice product that provides medium coverage, leaving the skin hydrated and with a beautiful, natural glowy finish. This tinted moisturizer also contains kombucha and retails for 29 USD, 39 CAD.
A product I tried this year that immediately reminded me of the Urban Decay Foundation is the Essence Pretty Natural Hydrating Foundation.
This product provides great hydration, leaves the skin with a glowy finish, provides light to medium coverage, and is long-lasting. I don’t think they are exact dupes, but they are pretty close; the Essence foundation contains Hyaluronic acid and Aloe Vera.
This product retails for 4.99 USD, 8.99 CAD, and has 29 shades. The Urban decay has 15 shades.

Best Face Powders Dupes
HourGlass Veil Translucent Setting Powder
This is a nice finish powder that provides a natural radiant finish. I tried this powder in the past, and the final results are pretty; there is no doubt of that, but this product only comes in one shade and retails for 46 USD, 60 CAD; that’s A LOT.
I recently added the Elf Cosmetics Halo Glow Setting Powder to my collection, and this product provides the same results as the Hourglass.
This powder is silky; you can use it to set up your under-eye area and face. The finish is flawless, with a hint of glow. Best of all, this product retails for only 8 USD, 10 CAD, and comes in different shades.

Best Cream Blush Dupe
Fenty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in Strawberry Drip
This beautiful pink blush is super pigmented, blends beautifully, and lasts all day. The price is not as high as other high-end cream blushes; it retails for 20 USD, 26 CAD. However, there is a product that is an exact dupe and only 6 USD, 7.99 CAD, the Elf Cosmetics Putty Blush in Bora Bora.
This cream blush formula is almost identical to the Fenty Blushes; a little bit goes a long way, blends really nice, and is long-lasting, and this specific shade is the same.
Elf cream blushes are also infused with Argan Oil and Vitamin E.

Best Bronzer Dupe
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Matte Bronzer
A beautiful matte bronzer that provides a flawless finish and blends like a dream; however, this product is very expensive, 55 USD, 65 CAD.
A drugstore product that provides the same results, the formula is almost identical, and one of the bronzers out there is the Milani Silky Matte Bronzer. This bronzer retails for 10.99 USD, 12.99 CAD.

Best Highlighter Dupe
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter
This is one of the most beautiful highlighters out there; the incredible formula is super smooth and feels like butter. As you might know already, Becca is out of business, so this product will eventually be hard to find.
However, a drugstore product that is an exact dupe for this holy grail is the Wet N Wild Megaglo Highlighting Highlighter. The formula is very similar; they both feel buttery, maybe the Wet N Wild one is a bit more powdery, but once you apply them, you can not see the difference.
This product retails for 4 USD, 7 CAD.
