With luxury makeup prices on the rise, beauty lovers turn to affordable dupes like MCo Beauty’s Miracle Flawless Pressed Powder to see if it can truly rival Charlotte Tilbury’s viral Airbrush flawless filter.

Charlotte Tilbury is a high-end makeup brand founded by an English makeup artist that trended on TikTok. In particular, Airbrush Flawless Finish pressed powder is one of the most popular products on their site. The Airbrush Flawless Finish powder lives up to its name by leaving an airbrushed appearance to a once oily base. 

The application process is easy, just tapping a brush or powder puff lightly into the product, coating the applicator. After giving a few dabs or swipes to the face, the Airbrush Flawless Finish powder adds a bit of coverage to the skin without it looking cakey. Along with giving a seamless finish, it leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable, unlike products like Maybelline Fit Me Matte Pressed Powder and MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.

Despite the popularity, the product and brand leans more towards the pricey side, which resulted in the rise of “dupes”. One dupe that was found is the MCo Beauty Miracle Flawless Press powder, which had the most similarities to the Airbrush Flawless Finish powder. However, they differ price wise, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish powder retails for $28 on the mini and $49 on the standard size, while Mco Beauty’s Miracle Flawless Press powder is the size of Tilbury’s standard and is $39 cheaper.

Alongside the cheaper prices, Mco Beauty’s powder carries many of the same positive characteristics as Charlotte Tilbury. When applied, the Miracle Flawless Press powder almost immediately brightens the undereye, saying goodbye to any existing under-eye bags or darkness. It also leaves that polished look, like the Airbrush Flawless Finish from Charlotte Tilbury, while mattifying without leaving a dry sensation.

One downside of Mco Beauty’s powder is that they run a bit orange online. Even so, the powder is still wearable and provides a blurring finish. Like MCo Beauty’s, Charlotte Tilbury’s powder also appears on the yellow side than what is displayed. 

Despite it being difficult to choose, Mco Beauty’s powder is a staple in some makeup routines and does its job without fail. Sure, Charlotte Tilbury’s is great and the original, but the price is absurd for the qualities you could get with one that is 39$ cheaper.
