"The closest drugstore cream blush experience. You lose the powder topper, but the cream formula alone delivers a beautiful, natural flush at a fraction of the cost."
Shop dupeMy verdict
e.l.f. Putty Blush is a surprisingly strong dupe for the cream portion of Patrick Ta's duo. You lose the powder topper (which adds longevity and dimension in the original), but the cream blush alone delivers a beautiful, natural flush. At $6 vs. $36, the e.l.f. wins for everyday wear. If you love the cream-then-powder layering technique, the Patrick Ta is worth it for special occasions—but you could also replicate the effect by setting any cream blush with a matching powder blush.
