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).
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.
Tips
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?”
