Dupes

The luxurious affordable alternatives we have tested and approved for you — real price comparisons, ratings and availability included.

A good dupe doesn't copy the packaging: it reproduces the result for a fraction of the price. Our comparisons put originals and alternatives side by side and say what holds up and what doesn't — including when the original is still the better buy.

Where to start: the NARS Orgasm blush dupes, the YSL Touche Éclat alternatives and the Charlotte Tilbury dupes on Amazon. Prices and availability of the products we mention are tracked daily and updated automatically when they change.
