By the Numbers: The Most Sought-out Beauty Product Dupes in the U.S.

Thanks to social media, more products than ever before are getting their 15 minutes of fame. 

In the case of items like the Dyson Airwrap or Kylie Cosmetics’ Candy K Matte Lip Kit, many products have moments in the spotlight years after their initial release, spurred by viral social media content often uploaded organically by consumers.

With each surge in a product’s popularity, follows an equal rise in demand for comparable, more affordably priced dupes. 

“Anytime a product is trending, there’s a lot of opportunity for other brands to come in and position their brands alongside those trends, and show how their brand can be a perfect alternative,” said Yarden Horwitz, cofounder of Spate.
