Kylie Jenner Kylighter Dupe

Dupe Alert! I’m always on the hunt to find affordable versions of my high-end makeup favorites. Kylie Cosmetics is one of my favorite mid-tier priced beauty brands, but in the midst of a quarantine, I’m looking for every possible way to save money, as I’m currently not working.

Per the Kylie Cosmetics website, the shade “Queen Drip” is described as a peachy gold that is the secret weapon to create the perfect Kylie glow. While the Kylighter, priced at $20.00, isn’t overpriced, it isn’t the idea amount of money I would like to spend on one highlighter every few months. For this reason, I’ve been on the hunt on ShopMissA.com to find a dupe of Kylie Cosmetics’ Kylighter in the shade “Queen Drip.”

The perfect “Queen Drip” dupe by Shop Miss A is AOA Wonder Baked Highlighter in the shade “Snap.” On the website it appears to be a soft nude, that would only reveal a subtle shimmer when applied to the face. However, upon its arrival to my house, I was shocked to find that it was incredibly similar, if not identical, to the Kylighter I already owned.

While the formulas for the two highlighters are slightly different, to get a bold, full coverage with the AOA brand, simply lightly mist your brush with a setting spray before dipping it into the highlighter pan.

I've taken the time to link both the Kylie Cosmetics' Kylighter and Miss A's AOA Wonder Baked Highlighter in this blog post. Both are currently in stock, at the writing of this blog. If I find more high-end dupes, I’ll be sure to share them on The Mod Little Melanin!
