The Better Than Sex wand is an hourglass shape, which is kind of rare. Finding a wand that looks like the original is the key. The trick to a mascara dupe is not in the formula, or the packaging, but in the wand. In the quest to find a dupe, I’ve tried ’em all. I personally think it’s a crime to spend $24 on mascara, but have definitely done it in the past. OK, so, obviously we all know about the TooFaced Better Than Sex mascara.

Keep that in mind when you’re checking out the shade range! I read some reviews mentioned the formula oxidized with wear but I personally did not experience that myself. Surely this is because it is a contouring concealer, which is typically 2 shades lighter than your foundation. IT’S $5!!! A note– the shades are SUPER LIGHT. If you’re in the market for a Shape Tape dupe… pick this baby up. I got my hands on it basically immediately and was blown away by the results!! TOTAL dupe alert! The formula was just as thick and rich as the Shape Tape and the coverage was bomb. It’s a new release so it hasn’t really made the rounds of all the beauty blogs. Recently, I heard about the ELF 16 Hr Camo Concealer, which is only $5. If you’re one of the people who think Shape Tape is too thick, then I think you’d be happy with the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define. When I tried it out, I liked it, but felt that a) the bottle is tiny and b) the formula was a lot thinner than the Shape Tape. Initially, people sang the praises of the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Contouring Concealer that rings up for $7. In the interest of saving $$, I’ve been open to trying out dupes, hoping for the best. At $29, it’s a little more of a splurge but totally worth it, in my opinion. Unless you’re living under a rock, you know that Tarte Shape Tape is currently the gold standard for undereye concealers. The ELF 16-Hr Camo Concealer has definitely been a true dupe for the Shape Tape and I’m in love! I decided to add a Drugstore Beauty Dupe post to my editorial calendar and immediately set out to test some of my fave known and lesser-known dupes for popular products.ĭrugstore Dupe: ELF 16 Hr Camo Concealer, $5ĭrugstore Dupe: Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Contouring Concealer, $7

If you follow me on Instagram and watch my Stories, you already know how the story ends– I AM IN LOVE. I eagerly clicked over and immediately purchased the ELF concealer that promised to be a $5 version of my go-to concealer.

Recently, I saw an article pop up on Twitter promising to have found the holy grail of Tarte Shape Tape dupes. I’m the first one to want to try a drugstore product that promises the same (or comparable!) results to some of our favorite premium beauty products. As YouTube has blown up and beauty bloggers/vloggers have taken over the world, it seems like high end beauty dupes have made a splash as well. While I love a good high end beauty product as much as the next girl, (hellllloooo Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream!) I’m a sucker for a drugstore beauty buy and the best makeup dupes.

For years, people thought affordable makeup meant you had to sacrifice quality. Even at ULTA you can find me browsing the Maybelline aisle!ĭrugstore makeup brands haven’t always had the best reputation. Whenever I pop by Target, Walmart or the drugstore, I am instantly drawn to the makeup aisle.
