K-Beauty Dupes: Budget Alternatives to Luxury Makeup Products
The high price range of some luxury brands often stops us from buying, which is completely understandable due to the limited budget, and so many makeups we want to try! Luckily, the world of Korean cosmetics offers amazing budget alternatives or so-called dupes , which not only look just as good as their luxury counterparts, but also offer high quality at a more affordable price.
In this article, we have selected for you 5 of our favorite k-beauty alternatives to luxury, and therefore much more expensive, products.
