The $22 makeup product performed identically to the more expensive name-brand version and made her skin look “glowy.”
Sarah (@sarah_wolak) shared the beauty deal in a TikTok video.
She reacted to a video of herself trying the $70 Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh tint.
Although Sarah thought the price tag was “unrealistic,” she found a dupe in the $20 Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence.
“From what I’ve seen, it is literally supposed to be the exact same product,” she said.

Squeezing the product from the pump directly to her face, she said the texture of the dupe was the same as the original.
After blending the foundation into her skin with her fingers to “burst” the pigments, she did notice a difference.
“Newsflash, this one is arguably more pigmented than the Chanel one,” she said.
“If you compare the two videos, this one has more pigment in it. I wouldn’t say more overage, it just has more color to it.”

She finished blending the product out with a brush and a sponge and was impressed with the final look.
“Keep in mind, I didn’t have primer, I didn’t have moisturizer on,” she said.
“I just had a serum that I had applied multiple hours ago and I feel like my skin looks very glowy, very healthy.
“This type of formula is about as weightless as it gets but as thin as it is, my skin does look even.”
People raved about the performance of the Covergirl dupe.
“Oohh I’m obsessed with this stuff! Especially on mature skin. A little goes a long way,” said one commenter.
“That’s my go-to product on my no makeup, makeup days,” said another.
