15 Makeup Dupes That Rival High End Products!

[@JeWhit100]

It's totally obvious that you love makeup, take finding affordable yet quality makeup seriously for dupes, & that you work really hard on your channel. For the most part I'm new to skincare & makeup at age 40 & with your same skin type, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos! You do an amazing job-Thank You!!

[@kccourt6910]

I’m a newbie and I’m obsessed!!! I’ve literally been watching all of your videos all day long 😂 I’ve got my list narrowed down to the items I’m going to purchase but just when I think I’m finished, another video pops up and the list just keeps on growing! lol You’re awesome Risa!! You’re def my new favorite KZbin channel!! You not only give great info about the products but showing how you prefer to use the item!!! Which is so great!!! I also love how honest you are about the products...Even if you are being sponsored to show a certain companies products, you’re still honest whether or not you feel about it and if you’re a fan or not! I’ve got months of vids to watch to get back to the beginning and then start watching forward! lol!!! You put so much work in to these videos and it shows girl!!

[@tgriffin1127]

What she said ⬆️ I'm literally binge watching your videos right now ❤

[@makeupartistrybymuskan]

I so appreciate you filming this after testing the product 4-5 months instead of just trying them once and just showing up in a dupes video! Very few KZbinrs do that and it really helps us! Also eyeing the milani concealer and blush after this video!😍😍

[@13CavStella]

I echo everyone who thanks you for putting solid time into wearing and comparing the dupes before telling us about them!! 💖💖

[@melissalee1375]

From a 42 yo single parent that really has to watch her purchases, I truly appreciate this video!

[@thescarletgraywitch8052]

I've gotten to the point where I believe the difference in packaging is what we really pay for when it comes to the majority of high end cosmetics and skin care. There's always a less expensive version/substitution available. For a majority of my life I only used luxury cosmetics. I am almost glad that I had to begin sticking with "drugstore" versions because now it feels like most of the time high ends are a waste of money. I really appreciate these videos, from influencers like Risa because the amount of choices nowadays is overwheming...

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Thank you Risa. Perfect for those of us who want a high end look without the budget busting price. Also for taking the time to check out the quality & performance over time. That was a lot of work & thank you. 2 of my favourite dupes that I reach for instead of their high end twins are Milani Romantic Rose blush which is close to Tarte Exposed but in my opinion it’s better. The colour is almost exact but it goes on better. My Tarte Exposed got hard pan fairly soon while the Milani remains soft, easy to work with and looks and lasts like Exposed. Another Milani dupe is the lipliner in #03 Nude which is a great colour AND formula match for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk liner. I actually think it lasts longer. I need to pick up a CoverGirl brow pencil and Soft Blonde looks perfect. I hate when the drugstore brow pencils pull orange. And that Exhibitionist mascara.

[@kimvillasenor3]

I love dupes, high end makeup isn't really practical for me because of cost and lifestyle. Thanks! You look fabulous today 💖

[@juliaflanagan834]

I'm not a make-up hound and live on an extremely limited budget. Wow. I was impressed with your research and all the work you took to include links to each product you reviewed. Well done! And thank you!

Thank you Risa for doing this because there are so many of us that can’t afford to try a bunch of stuff and really rely on your expertise to buy drugstore dupes 👍🏻 I literally only have one foundation in my cabinet at a time and I use it all until it’s gone before I buy another so thank you for a great video

Just purchased the CG mascara and love it. Thank you for all your time researching these products. I agree with another commenter that it is the best dupes video ever. I just love everything about you. Thank you so, so much.

[@karenk597]

Great video Risa! I love the Revlon Ultra HD lip vinyls. I blot them a little because they are super shiny. They have a nice scent too. The CG exhibitionist mascara was just okay for me. Maybe because I bought the WP version? I’ve started to combine it with the L’Oréal white eyelash primer and I get better volume with that combo. Thanks again for the great dupe video, you definitely shared NEW finds.

[@kayceh6198]

Risa! These are amazing dupes! I haven’t seen any of these comparisons before which is awesome. Your originality, creativity and hard work is so inspiring.

Great video!! I found a dup for myself a while back that's pretty amazing. I LOVE Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Patina. It totally holds up to it's name! Since I live on a budget, $22 lipstick wasn't super feasible. I found an amazing dup in Wet n Wild's MegaLast Liquid Catsuit Matte Lipstick in Rebel Rose $5.49. The colors are basically identical. The only difference I noticed was in the formula- Stila's product seems to be a little more moisturizing than the Wet n Wild. But when it came to color and performance, I couldn't tell a difference!

[@JanPrzybylski]

Just watched your video and I loved it! You hit it out of the park as usual! I am very excited to grab my daughter and head to target and try some of these dupes. I am sure this took you a long time to put together and as one of your faithful subscribers I would like to say thank you! Jan.

Hi Sharon! I highly recommend Morphe Palettes instead. They are super affordable and are great quality. You will get much more "bang" for your buck if you get a Morphe Palette over an Elf Palette !!! (Trust me--I've tried both!)
