A drugstore classic that makeup artists use for baking.

Compare the pair

−81%per oz

The same brief and the same build: a medium-coverage hydrating foundation made as a water-in-silicone emulsion, with glycerin, cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, disteardimonium hectorite and sodium chloride on both labels.

Compare the pair

−80%per oz

Same serum-fluid texture and the same satin, skin-like finish that Luminous Silk is bought for, in a comparable medium coverage.

Compare the pair

−80%per oz

Both are finishing powders meant to soften texture while leaving the skin lit rather than matte.

Compare the pair

−77%per oz

Same job and a similar build: a pressed, blurring finishing powder of silica, dimethicone and spherical polymer beads, sold with a puff to press it in.

Compare the pair

−76%per oz

Built on the same long-wear system: cyclopentasiloxane and water with trimethylsiloxysilicate, the resin that sets a foundation into a transfer-resistant film, plus tribehenin and titanium dioxide.

Compare the pair

−75%per oz

Both are waterproof, full-coverage liquid concealers held in a silicone emulsion with the same emulsifier, cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, and hectorite to keep the pigment suspended.

Compare the pair

−72%per oz

Same use: a few drops into moisturizer or foundation, or worn alone for a wash of bronze.

Compare the pair

−71%per oz

Same three uses (alone, as primer, mixed with foundation) and a similar soft-focus sheen.

Compare the pair

−71%per oz

Same job: medium-to-full buildable coverage that resists sweat, water and transfer for a full day and then some.

Compare the pair

−70%per oz

Loose, finely milled powder doing the same job: hold foundation down and keep shine off the T-zone without a gray cast on camera.

Compare the pair

−69%per oz

The same medium, radiant-finish coverage under the eye, dispensed onto a sponge tip instead of a doe-foot.

Compare the pair

−68%per oz

Same silicone recipe: dimethicone and dimethicone crosspolymer with silica, which fill pores and fine lines and leave a velvety base for foundation.

Compare the pair

−60%per oz

Same silicone blur: dimethicone and the same two dimethicone crosspolymers fill in pores in both, with silica to take the shine off.

Compare the pair

−58%per oz

Matches the full matte coverage and long wear.

Compare the pair

−53%per oz

Same three jobs, prime before, set after and a natural rather than matte finish, with a hold claim of up to 24 hours against Charlotte Tilbury's 16.

Compare the pair

−53%per oz

Same idea: a hydrating lotion with light-reflecting particles, worn alone for a glow, under foundation, or on the high points.

Compare the pair

−50%per oz

Near-identical base: water, cyclopentasiloxane, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, trimethylsiloxysilicate and the same two emulsifiers (polyglyceryl-4 diisostearate/polyhydroxystearate/sebacate and cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone) give both the same creamy, full-coverage wear.

Compare the pair

−49%per oz

Same idea: a color-correcting, medium-to-full coverage CC cream whose sunscreen leans on zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Compare the pair

−47%per oz

The same silicone backbone: cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, dimethicone crosspolymer and dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, with silica, so it smooths and mattifies the same way.

Compare the pair

−46%per oz

Same clear gel with the same sticky grip, and it also contains hyaluronic acid.

Compare the pair

−44%per oz

A genuinely fine mist that sets makeup rather than spitting wet patches onto it, which is where cheap setting sprays usually fail.

Compare the pair

−42%per oz

Holds makeup comparably through a normal day, with a matte rather than natural finish. Wear time is shorter in real heat, and the bottle is half the size, but the price per ml is far lower.

Compare the pair

−91%per oz

Same cool-toned blue red in a flat, high-pigment matte that photographs the way Ruby Woo does.

Compare the pair

−89%per oz

Same sheer berry-plum wash that shifts with your own lip tone, and the same balm-weight comfort rather than a lipstick set.

Compare the pair

−83%per oz

Same sheer, high-shine tinted oil worn alone or over lipstick, on a base of apricot, avocado, jojoba and pomegranate oils.

Compare the pair

−75%per oz

A beige pink on the same nude-pink note as Pillow Talk; swatched side by side, the two read as one shade.

Compare the pair

−74%per oz

Swatch round-ups put it closest to Pillow Talk among drugstore liners: on the lips the two read as the same nude pink, while on the arm Peekaboo Neutral shows a little more mauve where Pillow Talk is a warmer pink.

Compare the pair

−72%per oz

Same trick as Black Honey: a sheer, glossy berry that looks almost black in the tube and goes on as a wash of color that suits nearly every skin tone, with vitamin E in both.

Compare the pair

−71%per oz

Same tingle from the same source: both plump with chili (capsicum frutescens) and carry a palmitoyl oligopeptide, Maybelline's as its 5% Maxi-Lip complex.

Compare the pair

Same high-shine, non-sticky oil finish with a big applicator.

Compare the pair

−69%per oz

Buttery, non-sticky and almost as shiny, with more shades to choose from.

Compare the pair

−65%per oz

Same muted gray-taupe family (Ulta files the shade as greige) in a sharpenable wooden pencil with a soft matte finish.

Compare the pair

−61%per oz

Close to the same gloss: polybutene, diisostearyl malate, pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2 and C18-36 acid triglyceride make up the base of both, for the same cushiony, non-sticky shine.

Compare the pair

−58%per oz

Same squeeze-tube format and the same glossy, cushiony finish, with shea butter in both formulas.

Compare the pair

−56%per oz

Same squeeze-tube butter balm with the same vanilla scent, built on plant butters.

Compare the pair

−93%per oz

Both are waterproof liquid liners with a fine, flexible brush and an intense matte black that holds a sharp wing all day without smudging or flaking.

Compare the pair

−79%per oz

Brush tip instead of felt, so it's more flexible for thin-to-thick wings and needs a steadier hand. Just as black and just as waterproof, with twice the product for under half the price.

Compare the pair

−74%per oz

Same kind of primer, from the company that owns Lancôme: a soft white base of beeswax and carnauba wax with panthenol and acacia gum that coats lashes before the mascara goes on.

Compare the pair

−66%per oz

The same lengthening formula from the same group: paraffin, beeswax, carnauba wax and acacia senegal gum held in a stearic and palmitic acid emulsion with triethanolamine, and nine of the first ten ingredients on the two lists are shared, panthenol included further down.

Compare the pair

−59%per oz

The same tubing formula with a few lines swapped: water, the acrylates/ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer that sets into tubes around each lash, glyceryl stearate, glycerin, alcohol, dimethicone, VP/eicosene copolymer, carnauba wax and stearic acid make up nine of the first ten ingredients on both lists, with castor oil and shea butter further down.

Compare the pair

−55%per oz

Same technology and the same two conditioners: acrylate film-formers wrap each lash in a tube that won't smudge and comes off in warm water, with shea butter and castor oil on both labels.

Compare the pair

−54%per oz

Lancôme's published ingredient list for Hypnôse Drama and the US label of Voluminous Original start with the same eight ingredients in the same order: water, paraffin, potassium cetyl phosphate, beeswax, carnauba wax, acacia senegal gum, cetyl alcohol and glycerin, a wax base both brands take from L'Oréal.

Compare the pair

−44%per oz

It focuses more on length than on volume.

Compare the pair

−43%per oz

The same mascara as far as the labels go, both from L'Oréal: the first fourteen ingredients match in order, paraffin, potassium cetyl phosphate, carnauba wax, beeswax and the two film-forming copolymers among them, and every ingredient on Lash Paradise's US label is also on Monsieur Big's.

Compare the pair

−90%per oz

Same matte, shimmer-free finish in a similar warm tan, and both lean on boron nitride and dimethicone for a smooth lay-down.

Compare the pair

−81%per oz

Same kind of powder: talc with dimethicone, nylon-12 and silica, pressed to a soft, shimmer-free matte that blends without patches.

Compare the pair

−73%per oz

Same cushion-tip wand and a similar pearly finish.

Compare the pair

−73%per oz

Same cushion-tip wand and the same kind of formula: water with isododecane and the same cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone emulsifier, so it dots on and blends out the same way.

Compare the pair

−60%per oz

Same matte bronzer build: talc and mica with iron oxides and zinc stearate, pressed to a shimmer-free powder that blends out soft.

Compare the pair

−58%per oz

Both sheer out to a second-skin flush and build without patching over foundation.

Compare the pair

−56%per oz

The closest drugstore match to Orgasm's peachy-gold glow, in a baked formula that's slightly more luminous and less powdery. Less pigmented, so it's more forgiving to apply.

Compare the pair

−53%per oz

Same sheer, buildable cream blush in a compact on the same kind of emollient base, octyldodecanol and vitamin E in both, so it melts into skin rather than sitting on it.

Compare the pair

−40%per oz

Just as pigmented, so it's also a one-dot product.

Compare the pair

−83%per oz

The same cream in a pot and nearly the same formula: isododecane and volatile silicones that evaporate so it sets, trimethylsiloxysilicate and polyethylene for the hold, and ceresin, the refined form of the ozokerite wax in Dipbrow.

Also a fiber gel with a tiny brush.
