Consider the world of makeup as an unending well, there are millions of products that you can pick from. However, the tricky part is that not all products are made for you, and finding the perfect makeup substitute can be challenging.
Every individual has a different kind of skin texture, that is why what suits your friend, doesn’t suit you. When I started to get into makeup I would try to use my friend’s foundation, but it would never suit me because my skin undertone was different than hers. I tried to search for the right tone of a foundation for me but it was way too expensive!
Well-Well…I have realized that this problem is way too common among girls, but don’t you worry I have the perfect solution for you. Below listed are all the high-end products and their makeup substitutes that cost way less but give you the right finish!
Makeup Alternative – Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation To M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
We all know that Bobbi Brown is a phenomenal brand and has the finest products in the cosmetic industry, however, it does come with one drawback. The products are comparatively expensive!
Talking about its Skin Long-wear Weightless Foundation, it is amazing with texture, and after the finish. Additionally, It comes to you in a 30 ml bottle and also has 32 shades. The product is retailed at Rs. 4250, higher than most of the foundations in the market. But don’t you worry!
You can have a similar finish with the M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid. Both of these products come with an SPF 15 and the same quantity, yet there is a significant difference in the price range since the M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid retails at Rs. 2900/-
Makeup Alternative – Huda Beauty ‘The New Nude’ Eyeshadow Palette To Makeup Revolution Pro New Neutrals Blushed Eyeshadow Palette
Finding the makeup substitute for Huda Beauty products is way too difficult! Huda Beauty has won our hearts all over again by introducing ‘The New Nude‘ eyeshadow palette. Also, The rectangular palette contains 18 Shades of flattering warm nudes and shimmers that retail for Rs. 5,375/-. ‘Makeup revolution’ on the other hand has the Pro New Neutrals Blushed eyeshadow palette that has 18 shades, and 18 gms of product.
The only drawback of this substitute is that it weighs 1.7 gm less than the Huda palette. But again, the makeup revolution palette costs Rs. 1750/-, making it a perfect makeup substitute!
Makeup Alternative – DIOR Rouge Dior Ultra Care Liquid Lipstick To Huda Beauty Demi Matte Cream Liquid Lipstick
I have personally loved Dior Lipsticks since they glide on your lips and don’t leave a patch. But alas, they are way too costly. As the name suggests, the Dior Ultra Care Liquid Lipstick comes in a liquid formula that is infused with flower oil. However, it retails for Rs.3600/-
If you find this lipstick way too expensive, you can range down to the Huda Beauty Demi Matte Cream Liquid Lipstick that will cost you Rs. 1825/-
Apart from the fact that that the Huda lipstick is cream-based, there is one more downside. The Dior lipstick comes in a 6ml bottle, but the Huda Beauty lipstick has a capacity of 3.6 ml. Apart from this, the shades are extraordinarily versatile and the finish of the lipstick is similar.
Makeup Alternative – Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H. Not. Your. Mama’s. Panty. Hose To NYX Professional Makeup Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator
If you are a makeup lover, you would know that highlighters can be like a knight in shining armor. Nevertheless, these highlighters can lift up your face and make you stand out from the crowd. One must own one in my view. Coming to the best highlighter, it is undoubtedly the Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H. Not. Your. Mama’s. Panty. Hose liquid highlighter. The product is an All-Over Face And Body Highlighter that gives an instant glow to your face and body, additionally, it ranges for Rs.4050/-
In case you are looking for a substitute that costs around 1/4th of the Huda Beauty highlighter, then you must go for the NYX professional makeup highlighter. While the Huda Liquid highlighter comes in three shades, the NYX highlighter comes in four shades. Isn’t this just great?
Makeup Alternative – MAC Satin & Matte Lipsticks To Maybelline Creamy Matte & Powder matte lipsticks
If you are not fond of liquid lipsticks and are still wishing for a matte finish, then I would suggest the M.A.C Matte Lipsticks and M.A.C Satin Lipsticks. M.A.C has a wide range of shades that give you a non- patchy texture after its application, this is one of my personal favorite brands.
Each of the lipsticks costs Rs. 1700. If you are looking for a lipstick that is similar to M.A.C, then you must try the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick and the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Powder Matte Lipstick. The Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick retails for Rs. 299 and the Maybelline Powder Matte retails for Rs. 475, respectively. It’s a steal deal!
