dupes for makeup forever cream contour kit

So when I'm not being a simple girl and I want to get super duper fancy, I highlight and contour my face. Also, it's brown girl friendly as I use the Medium-Deep Bronze shade. It's basically eight products in one, not to mention it gives you a bronzy, glowing look. This particular BB cream illuminates skin, warms skin tone, evens skin, veils any imperfections, protects with SPF 25, hydrates skin, and refreshes and smooths skin. Once again I found myself loving this dupe more than the original because it has a few more benefits. You can pick this dupe on Amazon for $13.99.

Now I use a much more inexpensive version of this BB cream, and it is Maybelline's Dream Bronze Beauty Balm. It gave me the perfect amount of coverage and worked wonders for my often oily to combination skin. The more expensive BB Cream I used to use was MAC Cosmetics's Prep + Prime BB Beauty Balm SPF 35 which retails at $31. They also act as a primer, moisturizer, sunscreen, skin treatment, foundation, and concealer it's like six products in one.

Unlike foundation BB creams do a lot more than just conceal or act as a base for your makeup. I prefer using a BB cream over foundation in my makeup routine because a lot of times depending on the brand the coverage of a BB cream isn't as heavy as a foundation. So when I do like to get a little fancy with my makeup routine I like to apply some Beauty Balm Cream, otherwise known as BB Cream in the makeup world, just to give my face a nice smooth foundation. In addition to it not being super thick or clumpy it also does a great job of giving you the length and volume Dior's Diorshow mascara typically would.

This is an amazing dupe mainly because I think it's a little better than the Diorshow formula as it's not as thick and clumpy. This dupe can be found on Amazon for only $5.49. The dupe for Dior's Diorshow mascara is Maybelline's Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara - Black Drama. I love this mascara because it really adds volume to my naturally curly lashes while simultaneously elongating them, but I found a very similar, arguably better mascara for much less. Originally, I used to use Christian Dior's Diorshow mascara which retails at Sephora for $27.50. However, the secret to really making your natural look POP is finding a really great mascara that adds volume and length to your lashes. A little mascara, a little illuminator/highlighter, a nude matte lippie or gloss, and maybe even a little wing on my eyeliner if I'm feeling fancy that day. When it comes to makeup, I'm typically much more of a simpler girl.
