If you haven’t already realized, I’m slightly obsessed with
makeup. I love buying it, I love trying new products, I love makeup application
– everything about it. My favorite part of the makeup application, however, is
contouring. Contouring can completely change the shape of your face – jaws,
cheeks, nose, etc. My all time favorite contouring bronzer is Benefit’s Hoola
Bronzer. It gives the most perfect contour that’s not too orange and is matte.
It’s also slightly lighter than the normal contour powder, but it’s easily
buildable for darker skin tones. The Hoola Bronzer is $28 at Ulta. An amazing
dupe for Hoola is Maybelline’s Instant Age Rewind Protector Finishing Powder in
the color Honey. It’s not quite as
pigmented as Hoola but is also buildable. The Instant Age Rewind Powder works
just as well as the Hoola bronzer (and it’s only $8!)
If you love Kim Kardashian’s makeup (like myself), you may
know that she is known to use Nars’ Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight. It is the
perfect color for any skin tone and over any lipstick (it can also be used
alone). This lip gloss is long lasting, but has a horrible smell and costs a
whopping $24. The perfect dupe for Turkish Delight (that doesn’t smell awful)
is NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sugar Pie. This lip gloss is only $5 and gives the
perfect pink-nude color to your lips.
So, if you’re in the market for some high end contour
bronzer and lipgloss but don’t want to spend the money, try these two amazing
dupes! You won’t be let down :)
Great dupes! I really want to try the hoola one. :)

Thank you for this! I've almost broken down and bought Turkish Delight on numerous occasions, but I just couldn't bring myself to cough up that much money for it. I love NYX glosses, so Sugar Pie is definitely on my list to try next!
