Tips
- Orgasm's peachy-pink shimmer is one of the most duped blushes; Milani Baked Blush is a fan favorite.
- Laguna bronzer has a satin finish with fine golden shimmer—look for dupes that match the warmth without being glittery.
- Match the finish (shimmer vs. matte) when choosing a dupe.
- NARS base products also have dupes; check by product name on our individual dupe pages.
