Whether you love some natural “no makeup” makeup look or prefer to rock that bright eyeshadow, full coverage and bright lipstick glam, in that case, makeup is your best friend. Drugstores carry tons of good products for sure, but some of these luxury makeup products we have got listed here are hard to beat (and dupe too)!
But you might ask yourself a question:
Often the manufacturers of luxury cosmetics spend more time and money on creating the optimal formula, concentration and effective composition of the product that will present the greatest effect promised. Some luxury brand skincare and makeup products do contain rare components that are harder and more expensive than extracts and oils from available plants. In addition, many luxury products contain helpful additions like serums, peptides and amino acids that have conditioning, soothing or protecting abilities. Manufacturers of cheaper and drugstore products are focused on the availability of components and cheaper packaging for a reduced price. The big differences with luxury makeup manufacturing are the safety of the components. It is in the interests of the manufacturer of luxury cosmetics to create products that will be of great benefit to the skin and cause no harm or provoke any allergies. The development and testing of luxury cosmetics take much more time, and often the products contain fragrances and preservatives in lower concentrations. Drugstore products often contain preservatives and emollients that might cause irritation or allergies.
Mascara is an easily dupable product that basically EVERY makeup company in the world sells, no joke. However, this one is very special – it lengthens, volumizes, conditions, separates lashes and makes them pitch black all at the same time. In addition, it does not clump the lashes or flake during the day, even though it is not waterproof.
