Lauren (@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.”

On a trip to the drugstore, she picked up the $16 Covergirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfection Essence foundation.

“I’m never spending my money on Chanel again. Ever since this foundation was released, I cannot stop using it,” she admitted.

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

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

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

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

Hoards of shoppers agreed with Lauren’s verdict, issuing the product glowing five-star reviews.

“I bought this to try on my 43-year-old skin. It feels amazing, and hydrating, and provides a hint of color and blur,” wrote one reviewer.

“I’ve really struggled figuring out what kind of makeup works in my aging skin and this finally left me feeling not hopeless anymore!”

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

“Perfect shade match and it blended in really amazing,” wrote another happy customer.

“Going on 9 hours after initial application and my complexion still looks hydrated and smooth. I love this stuff!”
