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!!

[@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...

[@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!! 💖💖

[@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.

[@KarawithaK]

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

[@leighmiller4276]

Yes, well said. Was going to comment the same thing. Risa, your expertise and hard work is much appreciated!

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!!

You’ve helped me tremendously thank you 🙏🏼

[@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.

[@angelathanasiu]

Risa dear this is exactly why i subscribed to you! Thanks for finding dupes &saving $ in my pocket.I am just loving all your honest reviews &less&less makeupgurus are not doin dupe videos like you do.There are some but not many &your such a gem my dear :)

[@gretchenhanna1323]

Sharon Lambert I love it! I originally bought it for spring/summer, but it works great for fall/winter, too.

[@alciraproenza-collazo]

Tho not her specific palette, I have tried other ELF palettes and I have to say...love them.

[@Therealjulessalsa]

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!)

[@SJL07]

Julia Palsa thank you! 😘

[@AnastaciaInCleveland]

Elf really did a fantastic job on that New Classics palette. It really does give you a variety of looks from soft daytime to glam nightime. The quality is also very good - not just "good for the price". I highly recommend it! ~Anastacia in Cleveland

Thank you, Risa - your videos are so helpful. And to add to others' comments, I can afford SOME expensive products but not every single thing I buy. Ya know? If every item we purchased was high end we'd end up spending thousands of dollars - seriously. So it's really nice to have someone like you to help guide & direct us so we don't spend a fortune on makeup. So thank you!!! 😊❤️
