If you’re like us, you’ve spent more time lurking in Sephora than you’d like to admit. Let’s face it -vanity aside, cosmetics are just plain fun.

Yes, it’s happened to many of us, but there are a few ways of getting the effectiveness of high-end makeup without the hefty price tag.
Here are a few of our favorite makeup “dupes” for getting comparable quality without breaking the bank.
