We all want to have a beautiful makeup bag filled with the most high-end products out there, but, as cash-strapped college students, we don't always have that luxury.

Fortunately for us, there are products available in your local drugstore that are super similar to high-end versions. These products are called duplicates, or "dupes" for short. There are quite a few of makeup dupes out there, but I've chosen three makeup dupes that really stand out right now. Read on to check them out:

1. Lancôme Liquid Artliner Eyeliner Pen vs. L'Oreal Lineur Intense

$30 at Ulta | $9.99 at Ulta

My favorite makeup line has always been Lancôme. However, it is on the pricey side, so, as nice as it would be, I can't always buy everything I want from the line.

I recently came across this L'Oreal eyeliner while walking through the drugstore, and thought to myself: "hey, this packaging looks almost identical to my Lancôme one!" So, I picked it up and tried it out, and guess what? It's better. That's right, better!

The formulas are basically the same, but the brush/applicator on the L'Oreal version is superior. The brush is stiffer than the Lancôme version, so the liner can be applied much more easily and precisely.

Don't even waste your money on the Lancôme. In my opinion, the L'Oreal version is the true high-end product.

2. Georgio Armani Maestro vs. L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder

$64 at Nordstrom | $12.99 at Amazon

Let me start by saying that this Armani foundation is $64 (which is crazy expensive for me!), so it's not something I'd be comfortable buying again at all. However, the foundation itself is lovely: it applies very well and I really like the finish. All in all, it's a typical high-end foundation.

Recently, I found out that L'Oreal owns Georgio Armani Beauty and both of these foundations were released around the same time. So, I thought to myself: "hmm, two new foundations in the same month? Dupes!"

I tried out the Magic Nude Liquid Powder and it's fantastic. It has the exact same formulation as the Maestro, but for a fraction of the price. On the downside, though, it does come in fewer shades.

If your shade is in the range of this L'Oreal foundation, buy it and don't even give Maestro a second thought!

3. Benefit They're Real! Mascara vs. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

$24 at Ulta | $6.99 at Ulta

Both mascaras claim to give you the appearance of having false lashes applied. However, there's a $15 price difference between the two.

I was a They're Real! addict for a long time, and still use it as my main mascara, but I decided to try The Falsies when some of my friends told me how great it was. The formula is very similar, but I found that Benefit is so much smoother and not as clumpy. Maybelline's version can get dry and "chunky" a bit faster, which will form more clumps.

But honestly, they're very similar. In my opinion, They're Real! wins just by a bit, but The Falsies is good budget-friendly dupe if you don't want to shell out $23 for mascara.
