Top 10 High-End Face Makeup Dupes

Ah, summer is finally here. Time to take off your face mask and enjoy a good day out by the beach, close your eyes and let that summer breeze caress your face.

Now that people feel safer going out without masks, face makeup has become a top priority once again. As we all know, summer makeup can get tricky because products need to be a-lot-of-things proof, hydrating and heavy on SPF protection.

Oftentimes, we turn to high-end makeup as the top choice when it comes to durability and quality, but these products come with a hefty price tag. However, it only takes a little experimentation to realize that there are dozens of drugstore brands out there that do exactly the same for half the price. These alternatives are referred to as "Dupes".

Don't be alarmed, though! These alternative products are not fakes -- these are authentic products from well-known drugstore brands like Maybelline, L'Oreal, Revlon, etc.

So, we have compiled a list of the best high-end face makeup "dupes" currently available on our site so that you can create your favorite summer looks, on a budget!
