Find product dupes

Overview

Online shoppers often want the luxe look without the luxe price. With Comet, Perplexity’s in-browser assistant, you can turn any product page into a smart shopping assistant that finds affordable dupes in a few seconds.

Your Search

You’re on the Hourglass Cosmetics site looking at a $67 skin tint. You open Comet and ask it to find similar products under $50.

What are the best dupes under $50

Comet can:

• Read the Hourglass product page you have open (formula, finish, coverage, shade range).
• Search across the web for comparable skin tints.
• Filter by price, ingredients, and finish (e.g., dewy vs. natural matte).

Perplexity's Answer

Comet returns a clean, side-by-side comparison of dupes that match the Hourglass skin tint on:

• Price: Only products under $50, sorted from lowest to highest.
• Finish & coverage: Clearly labeled (e.g., “sheer dewy,” “light natural coverage”).
• Shade suggestions: Recommended shades that are closest to the Hourglass shade you’re viewing.
• Why it’s a dupe: Short justification for each option (texture, wear time, ingredients, or finish).

Expand

Instead of manually opening a dozen tabs and reading product pages, you get a curated list of realistic dupes, all based on the exact product you’re looking at.

You can refine further with follow-ups like:

Only show options that are cruelty-free and available at Sephora or Ulta.

Tip

Add constraints like “good for combo skin” or “no fragrance” to get results tailored to your needs.

• Ask Comet to “summarize reviews for the top 3 options” to quickly understand real-world performance.
• If you’re torn between two dupes, ask: “Which of these is closer to the Hourglass skin tint in finish and wear time?”
