Share your best "dupe"

[Nicpem1982]

I've recently replaced all of my make up and have made the switch from high end to cheaper brands I used to buy lancome, Clinique, ysl, dior, mac, benefit and urban decay however when everything needed replacing I didn't feel I could justify 400 pounds plus so now switched to a couple of cheaper brands

The best switches I've made are

Elf primer instead of soft box saving 20.00

Make up revolution eyeshadow pallet instead of urban decay naked pallet saving 33.00

I literally can not tell the difference between high end and cheap and cheerful so what are your best dupes/switches?

Hello, this thread is a little old and the links are out of date. Take a look at this handy page for a round-up of Mumsnetters' favourite beauty dupes.

Just got a bottle of Jade by Yardley, which is VERY like Chanel Cristalle. It's very good and I got it for £8 on Amazon instead of £20 in Boots.

Ivory, they do lots of Chanels but under less obvious names. The perfumista thread has a screenshot of those they do.

I'm with Sukithedog on Superdrug Collection mascara being a great substitute for Lancôme Hypnose! Saving £'s!
