I got an an Aldi £5.99 foundation dupe which is the exact same as a really pricey one – you need to get it straight away
HAVING to spend a fortune on good quality beauty products are becoming a thing of the past now.
As supermarkets are jumping onto the beauty game, by producing dupes of expensive products beauty fans are going wild for them.
Regularly sharing videos to social networks, beauty whizzes are doing the hard work for us when it comes to testing these products.
Take Jordan, who goes by the name of jordanlipscombe on TikTok, for instance.
Like many, she is often comparing the products to test their durability, and if it’s as good as – if not better – than the high-end product.
And in this one particular video she shared with 992k followers, Jordan tests out a Giorgio Armani foundation dupe after rushing to Aldi for a designer dupe haul.
She tested the Lacura Illuminating Foundation ‘cashmere glow’ luminous foundation, which costs £5.99.
The product, which Jordan claims is a dupe of the £45 Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, claims it’s a perfect addition to your cosmetic routine.
Firstly she starts off by prepping her skin with Aloe vera and GloWish Blur Jam to smooth out her skin, and give the foundation a “fair wear test” before adding her translucent powder.
Talking about the foundation she says: “The packaging, crazy familiar.
“It feels like quite a liquid formula.
“Definitely lightweight, can’t feel it on the skin.”
Jordan says it is medium coverage, and adds: “I was worried that it might look too glowy and greasy on me, but I don’t really think it does.
“The glowness definitely comes down after a few minutes once it has set.”
She then puts the foundation to an nine hour test.
In an additional ‘part two’ video, Jordan comes back after wearing the foundation for five hours.
She says: “As you can see it’s starting to look pretty oily, I have a feeling it’s going to touch up fine though.
“It hasn’t broken apart. Nothing has gone gross on the skin or nothing like that, it is just pure more a vail on the skin.
“The oil hasn’t separated the foundation.”
Jordan then touches up the foundation with a powder and puff.
She says: “And it literally looks completely fresh again, so far so good.”
Jordan then cuts the video, and comes back at the end of the day meaning the foundation has been tested for nearly nine hours.
She says: “Which to me is a full day of wearing makeup anyway. I feel like that is enough time to see where this is going.
“It’s starting to look radiant, the oils are starting to come through but where we touched up before it’s just like radiant now, and glowy.
“Ok Aldi, I see you. Guys don’t sleep on her, give her a go.”
