If you are a daily makeup user going to college or school and can't seem to make an investment into high-end makeup I have curated a perfect list of drug store makeup as a dupe to higher-end makeup products and brands.


E.L.F Poreless Putty Primer Dupe For Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer


Wearing primer under your foundation is one step in your makeup routine you can't miss but finding the perfect primer that is lightweight, blends wells & conceals your pores at the same time is quite a task. These two primers have been the talk of the beauty industry as they have so many similarities in terms of product and application but their price points have a land-to-sky price difference.
