TikToker Simonet (@ssimonett) said that sometimes there's no reason to pay more for makeup when the dupes work just as well.

The first one she called out was Kat Von D's liquid eyeliner. She said it has really good reviews for a reason, but it costs $23.

Instead, she said breakup-proof eyeliner from Wet N Wild is just as good and costs $5.47.

She said it's "essentially the same thing," in her opinion.

Charlotte Tilbury's highlighter wand is one of Simonet's favorites.

She said it's always sold out and at $42, it's also expensive.

Instead, Simonet said you can get away with using Wet N Wild's MegaGlo Hello Halo liquid highlighter.

It's a fraction of the price at $3.41 and gives you a "blinding beaming highlight."

Reviewers on Amazon gave the highlighter a rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars.

"The highlighter stays put and still shines after 8+ hours," one commenter said. "For the price, I’d definitely recommend trying it."

"Love this product. I use it for the inner corners and brow area. Got the gilded gold color. Lasts all day," a second wrote.

"This is exactly what I was looking for! A liquid highlighter for every day I can blend easily and quickly with my fingers," a third added.

Comments on Simonet's TikTok video also had a positive response.

"Plus the CT highlight is literally half air," one person wrote.

Another viewer said an alternative to Kat Von D's eyeliner was the NYX Epic Ink Liner.

Like Wet N Wild's option, it can be purchased via Amazon, but this one sells for $4.99.

The product has a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, based on more than 88,000 reviews.

"The application is smooth and It lasts me all day," reads one response.

"It glides effortlessly across the eyelids, allowing for precise and sharp lines," a second explained.

"This is a must in my makeup bag this eyeliner last the entire day and its so simple and easy to put on," a third revealed.
