A BEAUTY influencer has shared an $11 dupe for a $69 designer foundation.
After testing both makeup products, she confirmed that the performance and wear tests on her skin were identical.
Kelli (@makeupxka) shared the beauty dupe in a TikTok video.
“I’m going to show you all a dupe for Armani’s Luminous Silk, which costs $11,” she said.
The cult-favorite $69 liquid foundation is popular for its buildable medium coverage and luminous finish.
Kelli believed the $11 Maybelline Dream Radiant Foundation delivered the same results for just a fraction of the price.
She explained why she loved the luxurious foundation and listed the reasons why she pursued it.
“All your skin, but better, it looks like skin. You’ll never look cakey,” she said.
However, the dupe stuck to her standards after trying it out in the shade 35 Nude Beige.
“I discovered this dupe years ago. Even by hand they look so similar,” she said.

“It’s so beautiful, really looks and wears the same. You can’t tell the difference,” she said.
Although she couldn’t find any flaws with the Maybelline version, she did notice one small difference.
“I will say it may be a touch oilier than the Armani’s finish, but the color match is virtually identical,” she said.
One commenter revealed the reason why the two formulations may be identical.
“Maybelline is owned by L’Oréal, just like Armani, that’s why it looks so similar!” they said.
Others agreed that the dupe lived up to all the hype and more.
“I got it yesterday and amazing skin! It’s absolutely perfect!” said one commenter.
