A MAKEUP guru is stunned after finding a budget-friendly alternative to Fenty Beauty's pressed powder.
For comparison, she applied the $1.25 beauty product to one side of her face and Rihanna's luxury brand to the other.
Monica (@mangomonica) has over 592,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares “no filter beauty content.”
She was excited to try B-Pure Green Tea Infused Pressed Face Powder, which costs $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
A commenter told her that it appears to be a “dupe” for Fenty Beauty's Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder, sold by Sephora for $37.
Monica was already wearing full makeup when she used a powder puff to apply the Dollar Tree product to one side.
It seemed to blur her pores and reduce shine on her skin for a “flawless” finish.
Monica then repeated the process on the other side of her face using the expensive Fenty powder with surprisingly similar results.
The makeup lover threw her hands on her head in shock as she looked at how impressive both finishes were.
“Battle of the pressed face powder,” she captioned the post.

“Run to the Dollar Tree NOW, WOW!” someone wrote because they preferred the more affordable face powder.
“Heading to Dollar Tree,” said another.
“The Dollar Tree looks hydrating while Fenty is drying it [crying]' chimed in a third.
“Dollar Tree one seems a little better to me,” a fourth commented.
“Looks identical,” another added.
Monica admitted that she was surprised by how good the Dollar Tree powder looked on her face.
“I have dry skin. Some powders look too dry or they look patchy,” she said. “I was shocked at the end.”
Dollar Tree's online shoppers have given the brand's pressed face powder a 3.9-star rating.
One reviewer said it has become their “best friend” and they buy it every time they go to the discount store.
“If you tend to look shiny or greasy on your face,” they wrote. “This, you need this.
“Will say I took it out of the pressed pack and turned it into a loose powder.
“Works like a dream. Leaves the skin smelling nice.
“I've used this after a full face of makeup or after I've finished my skincare. Does wonders.”
