The Dark Side of Dupes: Moral Dilemma or Budget Savvy?

Are dupes the ultimate beauty cheat code, or are they killing innovation? In this episode, we break down what really makes a dupe—from hyped alternatives to questionable copycats that push legal and ethical boundaries.

🔍 Do dupes truly democratize beauty, or are they ultimately hurting the industry?

💸 Are we all for the savings, or do we cringe at the blatant knockoffs? We’re sharing our takes.

⚖️ How do established brands push back? (Charlotte Tilbury, we see you!)

Is there any product that can escape imitation?

 

And it’s not just beauty—duplication is shaking up fashion, pharmaceuticals, and beyond. We’re calling out the biggest repeat offenders (cough ELF, Makeup Revolution, cough) while celebrating those rare gems that stay one of a kind.

 

💭 Is the dupe phenomenon here to stay, or will brands eventually outsmart the copycats?
