MILK HYDRO GRIP

Priming your skin before applying makeup is an essential step in the getting ready process.

The Milk Hydro Grip is $36, and Sirmon's dupe for this product is the elf Power Grip Primer which costs just $10.

"The elf Hydro Grip is the REAL DEAL!!! Oily girl friendly too," a viewer said.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY HOLLYWOOD FLAWLESS FILTER

Charlotte Tilbury is flying off the shelves, but its expensive price tags are not attainable for everyone.

Instead of spending $44 on Charlotte Tilbury, the makeup artist suggests using the Maybelline Instant Perfector for just $12.99.

Sirmon said the Maybelline product is "exactly" like the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter.

One user even said: "I actually much prefer the Maybelline over the Charlotte Flawless Filter!"

CHARLOTTE TILBURY AIRBRUSH FLAWLESS SETTING SPRAY

The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray costs $35 per bottle.

Instead, Sirmon suggested the $10 Make Up Revolution drugstore product that works just like the high-end product to keep your makeup in place all day long.

ARMANI LUMINOUS SILK

Flawless skin shouldn't have to be expensive.

Unfortunately, the Armani Luminous Silk is priced at a hefty $64.

But Sirmon said you can save over $40 by opting for the L'Oreal Tinted Serum for just $19.99, and she said it's "exactly like Armani."

"That tinted serum is my holy grail. I was shocked at how well it works for me," a user said.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY PILLOW TALK

Your lips deserve a nice pop of color that doesn't break the bank.

Instead of spending $34 on Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk, the artist said the L'Oreal Satin Lip Stick 173 for just $8.95 is a perfect dupe.

Emphasizing the affordability of the artist's dupes, one user said: "So, around $63-65ish for all of the dupes when some of the high-end stuff is $40+!"
