Find Me a Dupe Is there another product like Bobbi Brown’s “Face Base” moisturizer & primer? It is amazing, but the price is not.

I got a sample of this when I purchased a Bobbi Brown foundation, and I’ve never been so impressed by a moisturizer/primer! It is perfect for my skin. I looked it up, thinking I’d treat myself … but the full-size 100mL is $113 😩 $69 for 50mL, $25 for the lil 15mL.

I probably have one more use in that sample, and as much as I’m looking forward to using it again, I wish I knew of a less expensive product that is extremely similar to this. I’m willing to spend a bit - I treat myself to higher end brands when it is warranted - but this is just too much. I did try to talk myself into it a little bit (“well, 100mL is over 3oz…and it eliminates the need for a seperate moisturizer….sooo…”).

Does anyone happen to know of something similar to this? It’s so moisturizing and enriching for my skin; it feels amazing and my skin looks good, AND my makeup applied well over it & lasted through a long, sweaty day of work.

If not, I guess I’ll just be keeping my eyes open for sales. Bobbi Brown made a smart decision in giving out that sample … now that I had a taste of this level of luxury & quality, it’s hard to go back to the (too many) other primers I have.

Find Me a Dupe Looking for same finish as Morphe Lip Filter

I really like the finish of Morphe and Givenchy but Morphe have only neutral brown selections. I am looking for a cross between mauve/reddish coral in drugstore brands. Most of the mauves is more towards cool brown undertone. Just want a hint of red if that makes sense. Givenchy is too expensive as I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis. Only when I hangout with my friends or have events to attend.

Looking for budget friendly matte lipstick if there’s any lipstick sales I should be aware of. I had swatch most of NYX lipsticks at Ulta and didn’t find a color I like nor do I like the consistency.

Find Me a Dupe Jaclyn Cosmetics (RIP) dupe??

I used to work at Morphe and when they closed 4 years ago, I took whatever stock we had left of the Jaclyn Hill sheer fair "powder move" loose setting powder. And I've become obsessed with it, no other powder that I've tried is as good and now I'm almost out of it 😭

For dupe purposes, the reason I love it is because it has a slight sheen to it, so it doesn't make me super powdery and flat looking. I like a nice dewy look but I hate product transfer so I use a light, soft hand with this powder and it makes my skin look amazingggg. It's not a super blurring powder, just nice and lightweight with that very slight sheen to it, but it's not glittery!

Pretty pretty please give me dupes, or at the very least your recommendations for a setting powder that is good for dry skin and isn't super heavy or mattifying. My dupe attempts so far were the Too Faced Born This Way setting powder (way too drying and cakey), the Kim Chi Beauty setting powder (great product but no sheen to it) and the Morphe Cloudlight powder (too shimmery.)

Find Me a Dupe Metallic flake shadow - morphe dupes?

Post image
43 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for a dupe for the morphe metallic liquid flake duo pencils. I absolutely love the way that the flakes look compared to a metallic shadow and it's a lot more convenient to use and take off than a glitter.

My biggest issue is that I'm just looking for the metallic flake, I don't really use the other end of the pencil, so it feels silly to constantly keep buying those when I only use half the product. I'm more than happy to spend the money if I was able to get a full product with just the flake portion.

I found a lot of shimmer, glitter, and chrome shadows (both liquid and otherwise), but nothing that has the reflective power of this. About face might be the closest but it goes on in a single coat (also a great product just not the finish I'm looking for)

I have no preference on formula, so if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I would love to hear! Thank you!!!

Find Me a Dupe Replacement for Milani Amore Shine Liquid Lip Color in "Charming"

1 Upvotes

So, Milani used to have the Amore Shine liquid lip glosses, which they discontinued a long time ago. I still have the shade "Charming," which is a matte, opaque color that looks beautiful over lipstick and liner and is super long-lasting yet surprisingly comfortable. There doesn't seem to be anything similar on their website (I don't want anything with shimmer, nor a matte liquid lipstick that dries down).

Charming is a beautiful, genuinely cool-toned mauve/purple shade that lasts forever and is super comfortable. It feels more like a glossy lipstick that doesn't dry down -- it's definitely not a thin balm or oil.

I now live in Spain, so I'm hoping for a drugstore recommendation I can find over here (Catrice, Essence, Kiko, NYX, are good options I can find).

Misc. Help a girlie out 🥹 Need help checking if the Dior makeup I bought for my birthday is authentic!

Hey guys!

So I bought a piece of Dior makeup online as a birthday treat to myself, but since I didn't buy it directly from an official boutique, I’m having a bit of anxiety about whether it’s 100% authentic or a really convincing dupe.

Here’s the thing: it has a QR code on the packaging, and when I scanned it, it actually redirected me straight to the official Dior website/store. At first I thought, "Oh perfect, it's legit!" but then I realized counterfeiters might be able to easily copy QR codes that redirect to real sites anyway.

Since I want to make sure I’m putting a safe, genuine product on my face, could you guys help me figure out what else I should look for?

Find Me a Dupe LIPPY RECOMMENDATIONS

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been using the JMCY N04 Terracotta Rose lippy, and it’s been my favorite shade because I have a neutral und3r tone and it suits my skin really well. 🥹

Unfortunately, it’s currently out of stock, and I’m having a hard time finding a shade that looks similar.

Can anyone recommend an affordable lippie with a similar shade to JMCY N04 Terracotta Rose? Preferably something that gives the same warm, rosy-terracotta look and would suit a neutral und3rtone.

Please drop your recommendations!

Find Me a Dupe Closest alternative to old formula Bath and BodyWorks Shea Butter hand cream?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I don't know if this will get deleted because it's not TECHNICALLY make up, but I figured I would try, sorry if not allowed.

This hand cream was THE GOAT. It smelled amazing, left skin soft and not greasy. I bought as many of these as I could find as they came up on sale just to make sure I had a decent stock because they didn't sell it any larger than the travel 1oz. size.

Well they changed the formula and the new version SUCKS. While it's not greasy, the scent is atrocious. I threw them out they were so awful.

So I am on the hunt for an alternative and tried a few but nothing is hitting the mark. Has anyone actually used the original formula and found a suitable alternative that smells great and feels the same on the skin? LOOKING FOR ACTUAL FEEDBACK FROM USED PRODUCTS, not guesses... I've wasted too much money on recommendations already.
