Real Tips: Spring Makeup Dupes

  by RealTechniques.

Love the spring makeup collections, but are having sticker shock at the makeup counters?  Fear not!  We have the high and low options of our favorite products.
Get ready for spring with these 4 makeup dupes:

1. Beauty Bomb.  Lighten up (and speed up!) your skincare routine this spring with a multi-purpose BB cream.  Skip the Diorskin Nude BB Creme ($44) and grab the comparable Garnier BB Cream Skin Renew ($11). Apply with a buffing brush for a healthy looking complexion.
2. Get Naked.  With eye shadow, that is!  This season, instead of splurging on the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette ($27), pick up NYX’s Natural Palette ($7) and have enough left over for a new real techniques’ starter set.
3. Perfect Pout.  Forget sharpeners and sticky glosses, jumbo pencils like Cliniques’ Chubby Stick ($16) make it easy to apply lip color. However, for half of the price Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain ($8) is practically identical in form and function.
4. Peachy Keen.  A sheer shimmer of peachy pink blush is just the trick to brighten up winter-worn skin. If you like the look of Tom Ford’s Cheek Color in Love Lust ($55), sweep Milani Baked Blush in Corallina ($7) on your cheekbone with your blush brush and have enough left over for a mani-pedi.
