    The Look For Less: 10 of Your Favorite Dupes

    Once a makeup item has achieved cult status, we can almost assuredly expect replicas to pop up anywhere from drugstore brands to competing department store collections. Recently, I mentioned that I had found a great dupe for Nars's famous Orgasm blush in Milani's Luminous. Thanks to input from readers Baby Girl, yajairab, JessRose, and SnufaLuffaGus143, I've gathered together 10 products that could easily pass for the original. To join in on the fun, why not become part of our Beauty Dupes Group? And for more lookalike cosmetic items, check out some of my Look For Less coverage, too.

    Ive been using paint brushes instead of makeup brushes for years. The handles are a bit long sometimes, but they are so much less expensive so I dont mind cutting them shorter then sanding them smooth

    Oh how I love a good hunt for dupes! One of my proud discoveries is Neutrogena's MoistureShine Lip Sheers (phew) in Ruby Bliss. It's an absolute dead ringer for MAC's Urgent! Slimshine. It was a total accident; I just love a good red haha. Smiling

    Sigma Makeup brushes are soo cheap, and they are the exact dupe to Macs, even with the numbers
