I’ll never spend money on Chanel foundation again – my drugstore dupe is $16

A MAKEUP lover shared a dupe that put her off expensive luxury foundation for life.

Once she discovered the money-saving alternative to the drugstore, she could never afford $70 again.

Laurens (@lolo.lehnen) revealed the beauty dupe in a TikTok video.

She explained to viewers that her favorite drugstore products were not only affordable at under $20, but were also a “need.”

During a trip to the drugstore, she bought the $16 Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfection Essence foundation.

“I will never spend my money on Chanel again. Since I started this foundation, I can’t stop using it,” she admitted.

She found the Covergirl base worked well as an alternative to Chanel’s $70 Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint.

The hybrid skincare and makeup formula has an essence that promises improved skin tone and fewer dark spots.

Those looking for a foundation with intense coverage may want to pass up, as the Covergirl promises a radiant “bare-skin” filter effect.

In addition to the light coverage, Covergirl says the serum foundation hydrates the skin for up to 24 hours.

Large numbers of shoppers agreed with Lauren’s assessment and gave the product glowing five-star reviews.

“I bought this to fit my 43 year old skin. It feels great and hydrating, and gives a pop of color and blur,” wrote one reviewer.

“I’ve been really struggling to figure out what kind of makeup works on my aging skin and this finally stopped me feeling hopeless!”

Others were impressed with the foundation’s formulation and shade range.

“Perfect color match and it fit really great,” wrote another satisfied customer.

“Apply 9 hours after the first application and my complexion still looks hydrated and smooth. I love this stuff!”
