Luxury favorite: Nars Blush, $39
The dupe: Milani Baked Blush, $6.99

Finding the perfect blush is a lot harder than it looks — after all, it's more than just the color you have to take into consideration. There's also the wear time, shimmer level and the simple fact of matching your skin tone to consider. And that's part of what makes Nars Blush in Orgasm so iconic: it does it all. And if you count yourself a fan of the cult favorite, you might just want to give Milani Baked Blush in Dolce Pink a try. It will give you the same flattering pinkish glow and it boasts a long wear time to boot.

Luxury favorite: Lime Crime Matte Velvetines, $20
The dupe: ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Matte Lip in Trap, $6.50

Have you tried Lime Crime's matte liquid lippies before? They're definitely unicorn-worthy with their long-wearing (and kiss-proof!) formula and dramatic matte finish. Cashmere is an especially popular shade from the line: it's a mauve-y beige that has gorgeous lavender undertones that make it pretty unique (though not completely unique, of course). Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip in Trap is an almost perfect shade dupe with the same matte effect — for less than $7.
