Any makeup product with a price tag over £20 seems to have a more affordable ‘dupe’ inspired by the high-end cosmetics. You just have to know what you’re looking for.
And Superdrug shoppers reckon they’ve discovered a cheaper alternative to Charlotte Tilbury’s £30 beauty wand liquid blushers for a fraction of the cost. Some are even saying it’s ‘exactly the same’.
Posting to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains Facebook page, shopper Mo Wilson revealed the drugstore dupe, telling other beauty fans to ‘run, don’t walk’.

They said: “CHARLOTTE TILBURY DUPE. Revolution PRO Hydra Bright Cream Blush In Pink £6.00 In Superdrug. This is exactly the same as the Charlotte Tilbury one for £30. Run. Don’t Walk!”
Dupes can often be spotted by a few tell-tale signs, the most obvious being the packaging. Sometimes brands use ‘inspired’ names for their products, using synonyms of the original brand, while others may just offer a similar formula.
With this Revolution Pro blush, it’s very much the packaging that’s a giveaway, using the same squeeze-and-sponge applicator and offering similar peach and pink shades.
Other cosmetics fans seem to agree that it’s just like the £30 version, with reviews on the Superdrug website heaping praise on the liquid blush.
One said: “Dupe for the Charlotte one. Brilliant coverage amazing shade and it blends an absolute dream. To buy the other colours now.”
While another added: “Love this blush so much!! It looks absolutely stunning when it's on. It looks so natural but stands out at the same time. I was nervous to buy this as there were no reviews on it, however I'm so happy I did. I will definitely be buying this again once it runs out. I have already recommended it to my friends and family. I would say its a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury one.”
Meanwhile, others are desperate to get their hands on it, commenting on Mo’s original post: “No way!!! Gonna get this and see if it’s the same. This Charlotte one does last all day like but I’m getting this to try.”
Some have even said they prefer the cheaper blush, writing: “I was gonna replace my CT one and happened to see this. I love it and actually prefer the finish of this one.”
I tried the Revolution liquid blush for myself, and I was seriously impressed - more so than I thought I would be. Cheap liquid blushers can often feel watery, sit cakey, and wear off patchily throughout the day, but this is a dream in cream.
I got the shade peach, which I felt suited my skintone a little better than the pink. After doing my makeup as usual, I twisted up the cap and squeezed the tube to access the blush before dabbing it onto my cheekbones and blending it in with a beauty blender.
It blended well and melted into the rest of my makeup so it didn’t look cakey, offering a healthy flush of colour. I decided to go in again directly on top for a more pigmented finish and found the blush to be pretty buildable, so you can achieve a look you desire, whether it’s vibrant or a bit more subtle.
The Revolution Pro Hydra Bright Cream Blusher also features subtle light reflecting particles which give a luminous glow to get that fresh faced look, meaning it doubles as a highlighter and is perfect for that glowing-from-within look this summer. It’s not too shimmery, but just catches the light really beautifully.
For £6, it’s an absolute steal and saves a massage £24 on the Charlotte Tilbury version - but Debenhams are even selling some of the shades for £4.01 on their website, making the liquid blush even more of a bargain.
