A good bargain is irresistible, especially when it comes to makeup! As exciting as those $50 lipsticks are, even the idea of one makes my wallet shed a tear. And that’s why drugstore dupes for high-end makeup are some of my favorite things to discover!
Luckily for us budget-conscious beauty addicts, the aisles of our local drugstores are filled with amazing beauty buys from creamy concealers and lipsticks to blurring foundations that rival their luxe, high-end counterparts.
Today I’ve compiled a list of more than 55 affordable drugstore makeup products that are almost identical to their pricey department store rivals and consistently work just as well.
From eyeshadow palettes to foundations, and mascaras to lipsticks and much more, this ultimate list of drugstore dupes for high-end makeup has it ALL!
I have tried both the high and low-end version of many of these products, so I have a pretty good idea on how they compare. Best of all? Most of these drugstore makeup dupes are under $10, with some of them under $5!
Get the high-end look without breaking the bank with these surprisingly incredible drugstore makeup dupes that are worth stocking up!

I loved this there are certain things you want to splurge on but certainly others that you don’t need to and dupes work as well if not better!!

Great list! Though I do wish more of the dupes were cruelty free. Thanks!

I tried the ScandalEyes mascara in high hopes of not spending $25 on mascara. But, I was HIGHLY disappointed in the ScandalEyes. It was NOTHING like the Better Than Sex mascara for me. Loreal Voluminous was much better, but still not as good as Better Than Sex. But, I do look forward to trying more on your list! Thanks for the info!
