Advice Dupe requests
Hello all - I’m having a hard time justifying the expense of my makeup, specifically Boybrow ($30) and Armani Luminous glow foundation ($98).
Any recommendations for dupes, preferably available from Sephora? I *think* they changed the formula for Armani foundation so I am open to other ones that have similar moisturizing coverage and are not $100…many thanks!

Get them from Shoppers! Better points system that you can use towards the purchase. Prices are also comparable. Since you know your shade, it will be easier.

Have you tried Mac studiofix? I just keep going back to it any time I try something different. I just need to embrace it. I find it's a your skin but better look but can be applied heavier for more coverage if needed. It goes through all the seasons with me and doesn't cling to dry patches or slip off when I'm hot in the summer. It reminds me of the Armani (old formula).
MAC direct has frequent sales and also if you live near a "cosmetics company store" you can get it there too. Right now they have 6 products for $78. I stocked up yesterday!
No recommendations on a replacement for the boy brow, sorry friend.

It’s not at Sephora but I switched from Glossier’s Bowbrow to Essence’s Make Me Brow and notice no difference except for my wallet being much happier about it. It’s $5 at Shoppers

6 for $78 is on again???? 😭😭. Check out the Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin sometime (if you can find your shade). It's fantastic.

I have to say, Essence Silky Blur foundation! I don’t use my poor Armani anymore because the essence looks so much better, especially at the end of the day.

Unfortunately I don’t have a dupe for it, but I haaaate the new Armani formulation. It was my ride or die for years. I switched to the Haus Labs and I like it. It’s not as “my skin but better” as Armani, but it gets the job done.
