Makeup clones: the case of primark, w7 and other low cost clones

EXPENSIVE VS LOW COST MAKEUP

It's not a secret: we are huge fans of makeup . We love to watch beauty tutorials –like Ratolina's videos, for example–, we like to try new things and discover brands that we fall in love with. As we know that you are the same, today we have proposed to brighten your day (and your pocketbook) and we have selected a series of high-end makeup brands with their corresponding low cost clone . Sure, brands like W7 or Wet n 'Wild are familiar to you, but there is more. Keep reading and discover them.

The most desired shades

Urban Decay has one of the most loved (and copied) palettes and it is no wonder. The colors are so varied that it allows you to innovate every day with your beauty look . Of course, the Naked palette is not suitable for all pockets.

Naked by Urban Decay, € 52

Low cost version

This palette offers 12 shades of various finishes: matte, satin, shimmer, to create everyday looks both day and night. At Amazon we have found a pack that includes this palette and that of In The Nude which, as the name suggests, are nude tones, a!

In The Buff Paleta + In The Nude by W7, € 15.55

Pretty lips

That MAC is one of our favorite brands is undoubted. We love this tone but sometimes we look for a low cost version to wear it every day …

MAC Smoked Purple, € 19.50

Low cost version

The quality of these lipsticks is also good and their price allows you to change (if you want) the tone every day.

Ravin 'Raisin from Wet n' Wild, € 2.99

Blush with love

Now that Valentine's Day is approaching, we have become a little romantic and we have fallen very hard in love with this Too Faced blush. Of course, we don't like the price so much …

Too Faced Sweetheart's Perfect Flush Blush, € 31.55

Cheaper

If you liked the heart shape but your makeup budget is not very high, what do you think of this proposal? You can find this blush in Primor.

I Heart Revolution Blushing Hearts, € 5.75

Primark is inspired by Kim Kardashian

One of the most popular makeup clones of recent times is the one that Primark perpetrated with its PS… Nudes contouring kit . It is suspiciously similar to the KKW Beauty contouring kit, the signature of Kim Kardashian. Ahem, ahem …

PS … Nudes by Primark, from € 3

If you want to invest more

Are they the same or not? Hallucinate! If you want to invest more, you are interested to know that the KKW Beauty contouring kit is much more expensive than the Primark one … which one do you prefer?

KKW Beauty Contour and Highlight Kit at Amazon, cpv

Flawless eyeliner

This liquid eyeliner has an innovative brush finish end for easy and precise application. You can find this brand in Sephora and, although its price is not too high, we have found the low cost version …

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner at Sephora, € 20.55

Your best ally

If you resist the eyeliner and it never ends well, you should try this format from NYX. For a small price you will get (almost) effortlessly, the perfect outline.

NYX Waterproof Epic Ink Liner Eyeliner, € 9.90

Prepare the skin well

The primer is one of the makeup basics that you should include in your toiletry bag. It will help you smooth your skin and prepare it for a perfect makeup application. This Becca foundation has a "light touch" effect that instantly reduces signs of tiredness and leaves skin feeling refreshed, awake and hydrated.

Becca's First Light Priming Filter at Sephora, € 36.55

Just as nice (but cheaper)

If you do not know this brand, take a look because you will love it. Their products are hypoallergenic, so they take care of your skin, and they are cheap, so they take care of your pocket. Jokes aside, with this primer your skin will look healthy, hydrated and even. You can apply it alone or under makeup.

Bell Beauty Glow Illuminating Primer, € 8.99

Infinitive tabs

This surprising mascara offers a false eyelash effect ideal for the days when you want to look (even) more spectacular.

They're Real! Volumizing and lengthening mascara from Benefit at Amazon, € 20.72

The low cost version

If it is not identical, almost almost. You can find this mascara in Primor at a great price, just like its result!

Absolute-lashes by W7, € 2.75

THE FASHION MASK

You already know that Korean cosmetics are super fashionable, especially masks and especially those that are made of bubbles. This we love because it exfoliates, removes dead cells and refreshes our skin in a gentle way.

Low cost version

It is true that the mask that we showed you before is expensive, it is not expensive, but this one from Miin is still cheaper.

Aqua Fruit Soda Bubble Mask, at Miin Cosmetics, € 3.29

And the super super low cost

At Primark they want to make life even easier for us and they take care of our pocket because if you want it at a funny price, this is yours.

Primark Bubble Face Mask, € 1.50

Ear correcter

It is one of the correctors that we see the most - with permission from Yves Saint Lauren's Touche Eclat - and it is no wonder. It is efficient, of quality and in a very comfortable format.

Radiant Creamy Concealer by NARS at Sephora, € 28.95

The smart brother

And on sale also at Sephora we find this concealer very similar to the previous one, but at a much more affordable price. Perfect if you plan to use it regularly or if you have just started in the world of makeup.

Sephora Collection High Coverage Concealer, € 13.95

Liquid illuminator

The High Beam mini is ideal if you are looking for a pearlescent and satin pink liquid highlighter that will help you highlight and shine your cheekbones.

Benefit Mini High Beam Liquid Illuminator, € 13

Low cost version

You will get a similar result with this version of W7. This highlighter is easy to blend and you will love it when you see the result.

W7 Night Glow Highlighter, € 6.43

Makeup base

Maybelline NY makeup foundations are good, pretty and cheap so it may be worth getting one even if there is a low version.

Maybelline NY Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, € 7.15

Low cost version

The resemblance of the packaging is evident and its price is laughable!

Primark Perfect Finish Foundation, € 3

The best sponge for makeup

Once you have tried the Juno & Co sponge, nothing is the same again. We tried it and we liked it, but it is not until you compare it with others on the market that you realize how much change it is. We like the beauty blender (you will find it below) but it is that this one, which fuses the typical makeup sponge and the brush, is THE MOST, really. It is so popular that it is selling out but luckily, you have it on Amazon!

Juno & Co microfiber sponge, cpv

Make-up sponge

Makeup sponge

The BeautyBlender sponge revolutionized the way makeup is applied around the world. If you are a fan of makeup bases, you need this tool for your day to day.

Original Beautyblender Sponge, € 13.95

Low cost version

And if you don't feel like making the big investment because you don't apply foundation often, this low-cost option works great for you. Ok, we admit it … we love the color!

Essence make-up sponge, € 3.79

The best brush in the world

That is what many think of the legendary GHD shovel. Detangling that gives pleasure and on top of that it does it in a flash because of how huge it is. Great if you have long hair but still spending so much on a comb is something …

GHD Paddle Brush at Amazon, € 23.70

Low cost version

For this reason, having one with such a similar shape and for much less is ideal.

Primark Metallic Paddle Brush, € 3

Sun powders

All the sun of the islands is in this small box, to illuminate the face and the moral. This earth-colored powder will brighten your day.

Hoola Benefit bronzing powder, cpv

Low cost version

And if in addition to your day, you also want to bring joy to your economy, this version is for you. It is ideal to use both as a sun powder and for contouring. Can it be more identical than Benefit?

Honolulu W7 Bronzing Powder, € 7.05

Illuminating beads

Guerlain meteorites are pearls of illuminating powders that brighten up any face, although the same does not happen with the pocket … You can find this product somewhat cheaper on Amazon although we are still on budget …

Guerlain Météorites Pearls at Amazon, € 48.12

Low cost version

Yves Rocher proposes his version (much more affordable) of these illuminating, pearly and scented pearls. The best? Unify the appearance of the skin. Apply with a compact powder brush, making circular motions.

Yves Rocher Clear Brightening Beads, € 12

Nail polish

If you have tried OPI nail polish you will know that they are the best on the market. Of course, for colors that we are not going to use often, it still gives us a bit of a heartache to spend so much.

OPI Teal the Cows Come Home Brights Nail Polish, € 11.17

Mini and low

So for that we have low cost versions that are not only similar in color but also in the shape of the boat.

LA Colors Color Craze Nail Polish, € 2.50

Beauty kit

We love these beauty kits from Benefit because they have everything and in mini sizes so they are ideal for traveling or for those who do not paint very often. This includes mascara, lipstick, blush and highlighter stick.

Benefit Date Night toiletry bag at Amazon, € 63.15

Low cost version

This much cheaper version comes with the mini toiletry bag and three must-have items.

Party Princess Grab & Go Makeup Kit by W7, € 5.95

Has it ever happened to you that walking through a Primor or a Primark you have taken a beauty product with a super low price thinking it was from a well-known brand? It happens to us constantly. For this reason, we have proposed to look for those beauty clones because yes, not only Zara copies Dior …

From fashion to beauty …

The "inspiration" happens in the best families so the beauty was not going to be less. We are more used to seeing low cost clones of great designers in Zara, Mango, Stradivarius and now it is the turn of the beauty world . If you have already tired of the fashion clones, discover the low cost proposals of your blushes, mascara and lipsticks from the best-known brands.

Low cost makeup clones

We have selected the best clones of the most popular beauty products in the gallery. Thus, Benefit, Nars, Maybelline, MAC or Urban Decay have their own low cost makeup clones. In most cases the packaging is even identical to that of the firm! In other cases, the low cost differs a bit from the high cost but with a very similar aesthetic result.

If you love to attract attention with your eyes and you like to innovate in terms of shadows, you can choose the Naked palette from urban Decay for € 52 or go to the W7 for a much lower price … And with masks it happens the same. The mythical They're Real! Benefit costs € 27.50 and W7 (with an almost identical bottle) € 2.75.

Whim or off-road product?

It is clear that sometimes cheap is expensive so before opting for one option or another, ask yourself this question: will you use it every day or will it be something that you will wear very occasionally? If you want a product that you will get a lot out of, perhaps it is better that you make a good investment. If, on the other hand, you are going to use that lipstick once a month, it is not worth spending a fortune and you can opt for the low cost version. In the end, you decide, we only give you ideas.

And if you are a makeup lover but you no longer know where to store your nail polishes, lipsticks, shadows, blushes, brushes … take a look at these makeup organizers. They will be great for you!
