5 Makeup Dupes That Are Better Than High End!

[@cathyridley3005]

Angie ,I just wanted to let you know how much your videos cheer me up. Every time I watch its like seeing a friend. Thanks for doing all the leg work and educating us all .x

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Awww, thank you Cathy! I love spending time with all my virtual friends!!

[@traceyskaar4843]

Well said Cathy 👍🏼😁 Thanks Angie.

[@readingsbycara]

That mirror is an excellent dupe. ❣️💯 As is the Revlon lipstick. 💄

[@rebeccadockrey3663]

I make my own finishing powder with 2 parts rice flour and 1 part cornstarch and then add a touch of pigment to counteract it being too white. Works beautifully and it’s dirt cheap. Been doing this for years. I found out that Mineral Veil by Bare Essentials costs around $30 and is made with just cornstarch and a touch of mica/pigment.

[@embeth446]

Yes! That L’Oreal nude serum foundation is highly underrated. I’ve tried so many of the high-end foundation releases lately, and I always ask myself, do I like it better than the L’Oreal? The answer is always no. So why pay the higher price tag? They have added the hyaluronic acid and more moisturizing ingredients to offset the alcohol, and I find that my dry skin tolerates it very well. If you loved the L’Oréal fresh wear but found it too drying, try this one.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

L’Oreal really makes great foundations!

[@phillyjilly]

Hi she didnt comment on fragrance loreal nude serum, can u tell me?

[@embeth446]

@@phillyjilly hi, I was talking about the L’Oréal true match nude hyaluronic serum foundation which is the one she featured in this video as the dupe. It is linked under her video.

[@annika4967]

@@phillyjilly it does not have added fragrance but you can smell the alcohol very clearly when first applying it. It fades away though. Worth trying anyway, very beautiful finish on skin ❤️

[@phillyjilly]

@@annika4967 thanks!!! Cant wait! Purfume trigger migraines so cant us dior, my fav!!!

[@PorkButtPants]

Angie, thank you! I just purchased the L’Oreal dupe for the KVD good apple foundation balm. Amazing! And I didn’t spend $38! I’m 51 with very oily skin (still!) and can’t wear the foundations that the younger KZbinrs recommend. I don’t have a ton of wrinkles, but foundation just doesn’t work the same as it did even 2 years ago. Aging is real and speeding up! I always look to you because we have similar skin types and textures. Thanks for all your advice! I definitely appreciate it. 😘

[@BijouKat]

Thank you so much for this! Would love to see one for mascara and blush. Can’t wait to see your review of the Wayne Goss foundation.

[@janellgarcia4171]

I've been waiting for another dupes video from you. Your suggestions always work the best for me and of course your brushes make it 1000x better. Thanks Angie for all you do.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

So happy you liked the video AND my brushes!! 💜

💯❣️💖 Angie.

[@ma.josegarcia7571]

Hi! What are the brushes she recommends? Thank you!

[@martinesulpice]

Yes yes for the foundation Friday with the Wayne Goss ! And thank you for this dupe video ! 💙

[@houston5568]

I am really enjoying the Loreal balm; it covers well and feels so light.

[@megtell]

THANK YOU!! My daughter is having our first grandbaby - and the shower is next weekend. There will be people I haven't seen for years. I'm cramming all your videos and greatly appreciate them.

[@nancymontgomery5884]

This is a great video Angie! So much fun to find good dupes - especially when we're shelling out so much money on gas and everything else these days! I can't wait to check out these dupes for myself! 🥰😃💖

[@michaelmore8223]

Hey Nancy Hope you are doing fine

[@Kim-qm8rc]

Great video! I love the Loreal True Match Nude Serum and have recommended to several friends. I still love the original True Match as well. For anyone who wants or needs a dupe for a dupe, I I highly recommend the Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator. It's around $5.00 and the coverage is great, creamy consistency, and looks beautiful on the skin.

[@sarachizzo3361]

I bought the L’Oréal on your recommendation and have been wearing non stop since. Such a great product. Thank you.

[@jennifermcguinness4275]

Same here! I now wear the L’Oreal Balm every day..I love how natural and makeup-free it looks. I always love Angie’s videos.

[@amytatum6858]

After 20+ yrs of working in the Aquatics industry and rarely wearing much if any makeup I purchased some Lorac, physicians formula, Almay It’s really been hit and miss Somedays I think it look good Others I’m like oh my god this is awful I knew you wouldn’t steer me wrong I purchased Loreal true match Applied with my fingers didn’t use any blurring products WOW 🤩 I’m so happy with it!!!

[@karenpawlowskileahy1895]

Thank you Angie for putting such thought and effort into your videos. And you are always so pleasant to watch and listen to. Btw, you look especially pretty today.

[@ebeth55]

I have been so impressed with the L’Oréal Tinted serum!

[@michaelmore8223]

Hey Elizabeth How are you doing Dear

[@lavanniarajalingam50]

Yes to foundation friday for Wayne's foundation!

[@Mandapanda.]

I LOVE that L’Oréal foundation! I love it over all my high end foundations too. I’m a 36 year old

[@therealgr8typist]

Love the L'Oreal Serum foundation, except of the dropper applicator. I bought some replacement pump applicators on Amazon and replaced the dropper. That simple change made the L'Oreal even better. I added the Nyx powder to my cart. I honestly haven't used the IT Bye Bye Pores powder in a while, I prefer the MAC Prep & Prime, but I'm willing to try something that costs a lot less! Thanks for the great info.

[@vjsimpson5237]

That's a great idea with the pump! How did yout know it would fit? Is there a certain size?

[@jayes8191]

Awesome! I prefer a pump too. Where did you find it? Is there a product name and size? Thanks!

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

I'm also interested in a pump for the serum foundation.

[@chrissiedunlap431]

I also don’t like the eyedropper. Please let us know by leaving us a link to the pump you purchased. Thanks so much!

[@ChereeLS]

Angie, **thank you so much** for taking the time to do all of the research and testing to pick out the best contenders, trying all of them, and for having high, 'scientific' expectations of these products! It helps me so much to do the best I can within the budget I have. I owe you something for all that you do--what could I do--mow your grass for a year, clean windows...!!?? Have a relaxing weekend🙏😊

[@nonyabizness956]

Wow, I actually paused the video before you said which side was which and although they look very similar I decided I liked the left side better! You're right about these dupes being better than the high end products 😂

[@samantarizzi248]

I hate trying out foundations haha I am so happy I have found my holy grail last year! 😉 That’s the YSL Touché Eclat Le Teint liquid foundation. It’s perfection. 👌

[@margaretjongebloed6386]

Love this video with “Dupes”. I have been trying your recommended dupes and love them all. Even though I am a brunette your skin color recommendation’s for you always match up well with my skin tone, which makes it so easy. You also make it so easy to shop with the links and I appreciate all you offer so much. Thank you 😊 Have a wonderful day!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Yay! Thank you!

[@fifilalala]

Yes please review the Wayne Goss foundation. Would love to hear your opinion.

[@donamolnar1033]

I love the dupe videos because I’m definitely a champagne taste beer pocketbook kinda gal! Thank you Angie for another great video♥️

[@daynad8104]

Thank you for showing the side by side color comparisons of the foundations. You proved to me why I've never been able to find a drugstore foundation that matches my skin tone. They all seem to have way too much of a pink/peach undertone for me. Guess I'll still be shopping sales for my high-end favs. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@FiftyPlusBeauty]

Hi Angie. Absolutely great video as always! I loved all the dupe products you recommended. I have tried most of those products and you were right, they are really good. I have not yet tried that NYX powder though. I love the IT Cosmetics powder and I will have to give the next one a try! Thanks for all you do for us!🎉🐣🎄🍔💝🎉🐣😤🍕🙏💝🎉🎄🎉💝

[@jenniferb8585]

The reviews aren't very good....

[@linnybee8000]

Thank you for helping us, Angie. You go above and beyond most creators. xo~linda

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Thanks for mentioning the SD alcohol in the liquid foundations, Angie. I would guess that the Chanel product is also heavily fragranced. I'm looking forward to trying the L'Oreal balm when the L'Oreal parent company, Nestle, stops doing business in Russia. Or when the war in Ukraine ends. And the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipsticks are fantastic! As a bonus, they're unscented and unflavored. These are the only drugstore lipsticks I'm aware of that aren't scented or flavored.

[@profe3330]

Nestle also uses cacao harvested by child slaves, destroys agricultural land by stealing ground water, and tricks penniless African women into using their baby formula instead of breast feeding. And you're worried about RUSSIA? Americans are fascinating people.

[@susanhamilton626]

Please consider doing a tutorial on this eyeshadow look. It’s beautiful!

[@hollyjustice9858]

It's a little spicy 🔥 🤣 That made me smile. Have a great day !! Edited to add - the mirror is unavailable. I'll be adding to my list and hopefully it will return soon, I'll def snag that one. Great find!

[@Mandapanda.]

Hey makeup really does look quite prettier on the high end side. It looks so smooth and blended together beautifully

[@AS-qk5ii]

When I was at the Chanel counter they told me the ultra le teint velvet is being "redone" (again). I never know what to believe but i hope that's true!

[@susanpetrella3413]

I like the lower cost side. Thank You

[@dawnd2856]

On your suggestion, I bought the L’Oréal serum foundation….it’s amazing!!!! So lightweight and leaves a beautiful finish. You were so right Angie (of course I never doubted you!). I was all set to purchase the Giorgio Armani foundation but have now scrapped that idea for my $15 L’Oreal. Thanks so much for this awesome video and all of your research!!

I recently seen the L'Oreal foundation recently in someone else's video and tried it. I am in love with it and use it all the time now. My only complaint is the bottle, I wish it was a pump dispenser. The coverage is great and it isn't thick.

[@_frances11]

I have just recently purchased the light-up make-up mirror because I didn’t want to purchase the expensive Riki version. I’m so glad you like it too! 💕

I just finished your video and immediately when to buy the dupe makeup mirror. Sadly it’s not available at this time. I’ll keep checking back for it! Great video.

[@victoriaaustin2468]

Angie, you always come through with great dupes. And how timely for me as I was going to purchase a case for my Riki mirror for travel and that was going to be another $55. But thank goodness I saw your video today so I can order the money saving version travel mirror you showed. Thanks so much for saving me money -- especially at this time of my life when I'm now on savings and Social Security. Only now that mirror isn't available on Amazon. Ugh! Maybe I'll just pack my 10x Riki mirror safely to go with me. Thanks anyway!

[@ninak8506]

Loreal is just killing it in foundation! I have the serum foundation. I finished the whole bottle and have repurchased. I almost never finish a foundation before it's expiration. So big fave! The 4 in 1 balm foundation stays sold out 😐. Very few stores are carrying it,but I'm sure that will change as drugstores update their stock. Great video! Thanks Angie.

[@terwya]

I have that top in black and pink. Love them. I love the Dupes especially in these hard times you just can't splurge on high end things anymore. Thanks so much Angie. FYI the makeup mirror is on sale on Amazon for 19.99.

[@HD-ol1mc]

Great dupes! Did you know that makeup artist Sarah Brock used Revlon “Bare It All” on Gal Gadot for Death on the Nile, the scene where they have the hotel wedding party and her look is very soft and light? She tweeted some of the products she used 🤩.

[@cinnie2543]

Especially pleased to hear about the mirror! Just what I need.

[@tiameacrivelli2682]

Hi Angie, I watch your video a lot, really like how informative your videos are and how helpful. I am 59 years old I appreciate that the makeup your Recommending is something I am able to use for the age group. Do you have any recommendation for large pores and how to cover them up ? Thank you for all your hard work !!!!

[@cloverfarr6133]

I am so excited by these dupes. I am getting the powder and the mirror. I have needed a better, more magnifying mirror for a while and $200 was never going to happen. Thank you!!!

[@lisanutini5183]

For when I’m not traveling, I adore the new stand for my Rikki. The mirror slides up and down and then you lock it. I got tired of leaning over the mirror

[@nikkithomas9857]

Loreal is with Lancome

[@texassews535]

Hi Angie, Wow! You had me fooled. I picked the right side (my left) as the high end. From my vantage point, I saw your skin looked more vibrant and luminous on the dupe side! I thought that looked much more, very visible to me, higher end on the left (your right) side. I cannot use it as I need a more moisturizing makeup, but I will try the one in the little jar that is more of a mousse foundation. I loved this and the moral of the story is that we can probably find a dupe for what we like, if we look hard enough. Thanks Angie for the video.

[@thehoneycombmom]

I bought the Style Pro mirror for when I travel based on this video by you. I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for sharing this message information.

[@leat.2147]

I am very interested in a foundation Friday on the Wayne Gods Foundation

[@msr1116]

Forty years ago, then Cosmo editor Helen Gurley Brown published a book of advice, guidance and life skills targeted to her readers' demographic. One chapter was on cosmetics in which she noted that higher end products did have the advantage of better "slip". I do agree that certain products such as loose or pressed powder and eyeshadows are of far better quality, making them easier to apply/blend out.

[@profesraelise]

I'd love to see a Wayne Goss foundation video!

[@laurabenson1278]

Loved this video, and you look beautifulas usual. I'm definitely going to try the L'Oreal dupe for Chanel's Lumiere Velvet, as I have also been a fan of that Chanel foundation and hate to see it go. I'm also tempted to try the dupe for the makeup mirror. I was tempted to bite the bullet and splurge on the pricey one, but if the dupe works, I'll be thrilled to keep my money! Since you asked, I would be very interested in a Foundation Friday for the new Chanel foundation.

It helps immensely as my proportions are identical to yours.Thank you! PS, I love how you've situated your new "nest," it is gorgeous and I appreciate that you share your garden and decor ideas, too. That said, I was dying when I saw your last home with it's fascinating history and lovely view and pool, my LORD it's so beautiful, I MELTED. However I'm with you in your decision that the work to maintain that property would have been exhausting. I was exhausted just thinking about the work you had to put into it! You are a kind, knowledgeable and genuine person and it's so refreshing! Thanks again!

Thank you Angie! The last time I bought the Chanel it was 60.00 and they didn't have the "holy grail" anymore. So yesterday I went to Target and bought the L'Oreal True Match in 2-3 and it's such a great match to my skin tone I had to put my glasses on and look close to see if it was even there. Oh, and it was 15.00!

The Chanel rep told me it's NOT discontinued, but it's a supply issue due to the supply issues everyone is still experiencing from Covid. She said there are many things she/Chanel is out of right now, But our beloved foundation WILL come back in stock!!!! YAY!!!

Great video! Thank you. L’Oréal is been killing it in the foundation game. I alternate from the Balm foundation and the radiant serum with SPF 50. Great foundations.
