"The e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer is the best-known dupe in all of makeup for a reason. The texture, pore-blurring effect, and makeup grip are nearly identical to the Tatcha original. At $10 vs $52, this is one of the most clear-cut saves in beauty."
Shop dupeMy verdict
e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer is the viral dupe that put drugstore primers on the map. It captures Tatcha's signature silky, pore-blurring effect with a remarkably similar texture. The Tatcha version has a slightly more refined feel and longer-lasting blur, but at vs , the e.l.f. is the smarter buy for daily use. Save the Tatcha for special occasions or photos where extended wear matters.
