About The Beauty Nib

The Beauty Nib is a database of beauty dupes. It exists to answer one question: is the cheaper product really as good as the one it's compared with?

Ingredient lists can't tell you whether a blush has the same undertone or whether a perfume lasts as long. So we compare products on shade, finish, wear and scent, and we ask shoppers to vote on what they've used.

What you'll find here

• Dupe pages that show our verdict once we've judged a pair, and say so when we haven't.
• Community votes and moderated reviews.
• A personal shelf with price, restock and open-date emails.
• A nail design gallery you can browse by shape, colour and occasion.
