We all know how good Charlotte Tilbury’s make up products are.
With a cult following and celebrity fans like Kate Moss and Kourtney Kardashian, it’s safe to say they’re the best of the best – but what if there’s a more affordable option out there?
It’s always my instinct to think that the more expensive a beauty product is the better it will be, but if you’re looking to save some pennies, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives that many claim are every bit as good as the originals.
Drugstore brands like NYX, No 7 and Rimmel are giving Charlotte Tilbury a run for its money with dupes for the brand’s Pillow Talk lipstick, Flawless Filter foundation, Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder and Ecstasy Cheek to Chic Blush.
I don’t know about you, but I can’t bear spending hundreds on make-up only to have to throw it out a few months later when it reaches its sell-by date. That’s why I’m always up for trying similar products that come in at a way cheaper price.
Amid the cost of living crisis, we have to save our pennies where we can.
After some research and trial and error, here are the best dupes for Charlotte Tilbury I could find. From just £5.39, you can’t really go wrong.
