About a year ago, I wrote about the best thing I’ve found in the Sephora Collection: Its full-coverage hydrating concealer. I tested it against Tarte’s Shape Tape — a longtime beauty-editor favorite. Sephora’s is less mattifying and more natural looking than Tarte’s while still actually concealing dark circles and blemishes. It’s become a staple in my own makeup bag, and because a little goes a long way, I’m still on the tube I originally tested. If you’re convinced, the even-better-than-the-original dupe is now on sale as part of Sephora’s biannual savings event. Because it’s part of the retailer’s in-house line, it’s 30 percent off, bringing the price down to just $11. I suggest throwing in the brand’s lip gloss (rumored to be a Dior Lip Oil dupe among Sephora employees) while you’re at it.
