You are so considerate of your audience that needs to stay in a budget.

[@user-oz3xy7ko1d]

I’m so so glad you mentioned the elf cleansing balm. I am on my 4th repurchase. It’s amazing and only $11.00!

[@kellyburnett1833]

It seems like you are feeling much better...you seem a bit more spunky .. it's great to see you happy and healthy ! You deserve it ! 😊

[@melodie973]

That Rimmel foundation is absolutely fantastic, and I have normal skin, I am enjoying it more than my Dior Forever foundation

[@dianecarter3744]

I'm going for 50/50!❤ Dang girl I was wrong and you look stunning in the dupes you shared with us today! Thank you for all the hard work to nail some fantastic products at amazing prices! See you in your next video!❤

[@jamiehershon]

I definitely mix and match high end with low end. I agree with you that Rimmel foundations are incredibly underrated. I think most of their products are misses but I've liked all their foundations for mid to full coverage.

[@jeanine219]

Thank you Risa for great dupes video. I love the alternatives that perform similarly but are priced very much differently...as in less expensive!

[@jacquelinerich1057]

3:10 that's how I feel about Mac's studiofix powder + foundation, I've been using it for 20 years and it has never failed me, such a great product!

[@libertychic8926]

Absolutely love the milani understatement lip liners! I actually love all of their lip products!

[@christyfowler6913]

Wow! Great dupes that I would not have known about had I not watched your video. Thanks so much for the wonderful content, Risa!

[@susanevanko3982]

Love these types of videos! Often I wonder why anyone would opt to pay more for a products when there is almost the exact same thing at the drugstore. Thanks Risa!

[@debbierudebeck9079]

50/50 is my guess also. One side looks slightly different to me

[@magicalpixie83]

@@debbierudebeck9079 I thought the same thing too! Look at her lips and cheeks….

[@sarahferguson0]

Sometimes there's not. Sometimes it a quality thing. A $5 blush might look the same but if it fades in 3 hours and you have to reapply many times a day it's not worth it. Eyeshadows are a prime example. I was unsatisfied with drugstore eyeshadow and my teenager said, "mom, if you'd buy a better quality product you'd be happier". She was so right. I was blown away by the quality of the Natasha Denona shadows. They blend so wonderfully and last all day without creasing. The pigment is so intense it only takes the teeniest bit on your brush. I paid $22 for her mini palette and i wear it almost every day and the pans are still almost full. For me it was $22 well spent. I buy a lot of drugstore stuff. Mostly foundation and mascara but the drugstore simply can't touch the quality of higher end eyeshadows. The drugstore is killing it in the lip department too. I hardly ever buy high end lipstick.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

​@@sarahferguson0although I bought the Aultra ND dupe, and it lasted all day! I think it depends on the dupe, some of them are much better than others, but it's nice to spoil yourself with a highend product. 👍👍

[@deeecanta]

I think you're doing 50/50. Your videos are always so helpful and you are so "real". I appreciate the time you put into it all. HOLY COW I WAS WRONG! Stunning look.

[@AnneLindsey1]

I love the Milani lip pencil in Cinnamon. It is one of the longest lasting lip pencils I have. I think I have about 8 back ups because they are hard to find. I never want to be without this one.

[@angelasagingessentials6338]

Risa I recently found you and I’m so thankful I did.. in my opinion you bring such a elegant classy graceful respectful presence to YT that I haven’t seen in any other creator.. and also of course so much knowledge and understanding of mature skin makeup ❤❤

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Thank you so much!! 🥰

[@aprilk569]

What a beautiful comment ❤️ I couldn't agree more!

[@mscarolita76]

Agreed!!! She's the ONLY beauty "guru" I watch now!!! Shes great!!!!

[@sarahferguson0]

I absolutely love the Elf makeup remover. It works just a good as the high end.

[@LotusLady9]

Thanks so much Risa. I get so confused when reading reviews so your opinion is appreciated!💟

[@lethabrooks9112]

I just purchased a tube of Covergirl Exhibitionist lipstick and I kid you not that lipstick didnt move or fade for the entire day! When I washed it off I still had some shade on my lips! And Im going for 50/50 for your look!

[@Lisa-zm8ci]

I love the elf setting spray in the green bottle (super fine mist). Love it!!!!

[@belindah6554]

100% agree, that Rimmel foundation is amazing ♥️

[@lisamizle907]

Absolutely love the dupe videos! Love you, feel well and take care!

[@lilajane3]

Love a good dupe. I guessed wrong, thought your makeup which is gorgeous was half and half.

[@karireyes6710]

I think you are wearing a 50/50 ratio of high end & dupes. Beautiful makeup as always 😍

[@sherrypettit5552]

Love this video. Great concept. Thank you for showing cheaper alternatives . That is alot of hard work. Thank you!

[@bethannsimmons7336]

Thank you! In my 70s with dry skin. On SS only. Soooo, greatly appreciated!

[@wendybrown3502]

Loved this Risa! You are the absolute best at dupes and alternatives! Gorgeous look!!🥰❤

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Yay a Risa video! I think you have a full face of drugstore makeup.

[@perceivedpal3888]

Wow….loved your alternative look😍Thank you soo much❣️

[@sherriehair]

Love your videos! Thank you for sharing products that we can all afford !

[@annabelperkins3572]

I'm obviously 11 months late watching this video! But, I thought you were wearing high-end on the left side, only because the blush looked more vibrant. Thank you for this video, I absolutely loved it. All of the dupes and alternatives were such an eye opener. 👌

[@bespoke_heirlooms]

I agree with your summation of the Milani setting spray!

[@2twentysix]

Love your videos! Have been watching for last 3-4 years and I keep coming back. You're so relatable and easy to understand 🙏

[@evabazan1966]

Thank you for these alternatives- as a senior- got to watch for affordable deals

[@tpowell7159]

Great video Risa - your makeup always looks stunning!

[@jenniferR-bl7gj]

I love dupe and alternative to high end videos. Especially for charlotte tilbury alternatives. Please make more! ❤❤❤

[@TheElfin24]

Great finds Risa, and apparently Elf do an amazing makeup setting spray that puts many high end products to shame!! Joan Xx

[@gingergirl8797]

Gorgeous look! I really enjoy your dupe/alternative videos and trust your opinions. I will say 50/50, left side dupe/alternative.

[@wabi_sabi_gin_jen8583]

Thank You Risa👏❤ Give the Milani Make it Last Matte version in the black bottle a try. I found I stayed matte all day compared with shine sneaking through with the original Make it Last. It was impressive!!! JuicyJas said it’s her dupe for the CT Airbrush Flawless SS🌟

[@smahanmoreno1371]

Hello from France! Thx Risa for your amazing videos. You are always so precise! It is so important to separate dupes from good alternatives ☺️ Do you have a dupe for the Charlotte tilbury flawless finish powder? I remember you talked about an alternative in another video but maybe you found a new one since. Could you make a video about the skin care for mature skin? Maybe the best retinol products? Take care of you 😘

[@nancybarry4150]

Hard to find my correct color in foundation at the drug store. I wear Estée Lauder double wear, great for oily skin. Would love to find a less expensive dupe. Love your videos! You always look so beautiful ❤

[@51drock]

I’m gonna say 50/50 also because of the blush looks brighter on one side 😉

[@vickycorey8195]

Thanks so much Risa! I'm using a lot of those because of you. I double cleanse and the elf cleansing balm is fantastic and in my price range.

[@sandraelliott6982]

Half I been using Rommel foundation for years so good

[@byStaceyF]

I agree with you on the CT setting spray and IMO most high priced setting sprays are over rated when a drugstore works just as well ❤❤❤

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I am going to Walmart lol. I have never tried any pillow talk shades at all but I do wear the foundation and powder from Charlotte Tilbury

[@MoonRaven777]

You look stunning,Risa..beautiful! Thank you for showing all this.🙏🏻🥰

[@kaki2964]

Wow, Risa! I've already written down several of these for my next shopping spree. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Afternoon Risa loved this dupe video I think so many appreciate these as with prices going up it so good creators like yourself are finding dupes Love Rimmel foundation it’s so nice on the skin See you soon ❤

[@julieligon8177]

Thank you for doing this video! I try to watch costs wherever possible, especially when quality is the same or very close to the same, so I really appreciate your product comparisons!

[@BarbaraT.]

Wow, looking super glowing today Risa!

[@stacyhachtel429]

You are the best! I am 62 and still have oily skin.

[@kmagilt]

I was thinking of getting the CT spray but I think I'll just get the Milani one now, thanks Risa!

[@MySunshineJMC]

Great video Risa! Really enjoyed it. I think this is so good in times like these when prices for things seem to be out of control. 😉

[@libertychic8926]

I only have the regular pillow talk lipstick. But I do have Reach High and its in my everyday makeup bag.

[@debs1717]

Always love your dupe videos and of course I love all your videos!!!

[@janwright4180]

Thank you so much for this video! I've made a list in my notes on my phone of products to purchase. You are so informative and honest and it's greatly appreciated.

[@kathy4285]

I love your dupe videos because they are always dead on!! I always went with Mac Studio and the primer as well before I switched to Estée Lauder Double Wear. I think I am going to go back and give it another try!! I can't wait to try the Milani Setting Spray as I use the CT one.

[@valbrooks2699]

Your skin looks great with those combos.

[@hayfabarash7241]

Half and half both sides look good

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing these. I rarely buy hi-end. I'm so very grateful for you !

[@zenaiko33]

Hi Risa! Thanks for sharing by the cheaper alternatives! I was wondering if you can possibly do a video/short on how you styled your hair? Love it!

[@libertychic8926]

Love the CT contour wand! But when it was time to repurchase, I bought the milani! Loooove it!!!!

[@libertychic8926]

There may be a size difference but there's a significant price difference too! I'll take it! 🙌

[@rachriri]

Youre so right about the Charlotte tilbury medium, I prefer it and no one finds a dupe! Thank you!!

[@lisacercone6736]

Great video. I'm a big fan of the Loreal pro matte foundation. I'm an oil slick and it really holds up for nice occasion and all day at work.

[@libertychic8926]

The e.l.f. cleansing balm!!!!! Yaaaas girl!!!!! Ivr been commenting that! Its my fave and all I use! I haven't tried the elemis yet.

[@kimkeever3692]

Great suggestions and overall information!! Thank you, Risa!

[@jacquelynwathen8676]

Have u tried the VERSED cleansing balm. I too like the ELEMIS …or anything in that line but would love to hear your comments on the VERSED.

[@katiecorkill382]

I love the Milani setting spray WITH spf 30! Been wandering about the CT, but now I’ll save the $$!

[@joananna4807]

I bought the Reach High recommendation and love it. Thank you. The lip liner comes tomorrow, I can’t wait. My new go to.

[@RaineInKS]

@risadoesmakeup Thank you for the video! Do you know if the Milani lip liner lasts as long as the Charlotte Tilbury one? One day I swatched lip liners from several different brands on my hand. After washing my hands several times as I went about my day (I have toddlers) I found the CT lip liner was the only one that stayed on the longest. It would be great to find a dupe that is just as long wearing.

[@leat.2147]

I am making an Ulta run today for the maybelline crayon and ELF balm cleanser. Can’t wait

[@ceciliadeclerck5002]

I do LOVE a dupe - however I ask myself: how is the ingredient deck? Durability? Wear and tear of the more affordable makeup?

[@maxinemewis4300]

Hi Risa, thank you so much for this! I also use the elf cleansing balm as an alternative to Elemis 👍🏻 can’t wait to try the dupe for pillow talk! Much love from the UK xxx

[@sharonwerstler4380]

I have a hard time with long wearing lipstick lasting on my lips. I wear lip liner as well but that wears off quickly too. Is there something I'm not doing that I should be? I just turned 60 if that makes a difference. Thanks Risa! Love your channel!!

[@Alice-fr1ef]

I love dupe videos Risa so this is going to be an exciting video. In this video I would say you have half and half applied to your face. Thank you for a great video Risa. Having watched you for a good while I know how much you like CT but I also saw your video with Milani products and it was a beautiful look to me. I agree with you that sometimes we can save lots of money and still be beautiful. Thank you Risa❤

[@libertychic8926]

I love the smell of the CT setting spray! And the performance! And i also have them everywhere! However...I have just many milani make it last! I use my milani daily and the CT on special occasions. 🙌

[@mskazooli]

My guess is half and half!😉

[@dibright1445]

I appreciate that you take the time to find affordable alternatives for those that can’t afford the higher end of the Luxury Brands. I do think that those who say negative things (I honestly don’t know how many people say rude things, but I have heard from other u tuber’s that people can be very mean and ignorant) to Risa or any of the others that work hard for us. I always thought, okay I can’t afford that, BUT I can take the lesson she taught and use it with what I can afford. It’s like when you learn how to drive, the vehicle you drive be it $40,000.00 or $10,000.00 your still learning and yes it would be awesome if all of us could pick the nicer one. We don’t know what Risa had to do to get where she is now, but I honestly believe she didn’t start off buying foundation for $150.00. So let’s just enjoy the work that she does as well as the other people who have their own channel and just want to help you be or feel better about yourself. I’m in no way suggesting that anyone is not beautiful if they choose not to wear makeup. My sweet mom only wore her red lipstick, that’s it for about 80 years. I started helping her with just a little bit of makeup when I did it for her when she turned 80 and we had her get her picture taken. Sadly she passed away 1 year ago just 2 days ago. I miss my parents so much. My dad died when I was 18. I’m sorry this comment was so long. Regarding what you are wearing, on your right I think you have the higher end products and on your left, I say you have the affordable makeup on. I didn’t look 😑 but I wanted to, ha. so I’m excited to see if I’m right or wrong. 🫣 Thanks Risa for another wonderful tutorial ❤

[@moniquemcgriskin652]

I love watching your videos. You have such good energy. ❤️

[@patticarnevale2360]

Thank you, this was great!

[@Jkgrl4eva]

Risa, what eye shadow are you wearing? Lashes? Your eyes always look beautiful 😍

[@boky535]

Thank you for this I’m starting to use more affordable makeup and this really helps ❤

[@Marnelle43]

Soap and glory does a great cleansing balm as well….$20 ish in Canada……

[@jojojoanne1992]

Did you try the Rimmel foundation with the blue top? That one is pore blurring. Love it! I am curious what your opinion is:)

[@sherriestewart3306]

I just ordered the "Reach High". Thank you for the suggestion!

[@angelaearnheart6687]

50/50 for sure

[@samirakaufman6004]

Great video Risa! This one, like many of your videos was so fun! 😊❤

[@tammyeaton4791]

Revlon powder blush in Tickled Pink looks very similar to the Makeup by Mario blush in Poppy.

[@theresaroeder6831]

You seem to be glowing today. I love 💗 your look today 🎉

[@utboca9999]

Risa, this is wonderful. And nicely timed with the way things are going up. I do wish, however, I could find a dupe for La Mer. Sigh.

[@JenniferSmith-pi7dn]

I love the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray because it doesn't contain alcohol. The Milani one dries my skin out because it has alcohol in it. I wish I could find a alcohol free setting spray thats as good as the Charlotte Tilbury one.

[@airdew3308]

Agreed! I don't stop using the CT setting spray because it's alcohol free.

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Very good point!

[@veronicafernandez8745]

I use the elf balm and love it

[@libertychic8926]

I have and love both bronzers!! I do use the L'Oreal almost daily!

[@reikiwithcary2682]

Thank you Risa! So helpful! 💚

[@annlara5688]

Thank you for these types of videos. They are a lot of work for you! Also I really like that you give us dupes and alternatives. Sometimes it doesn’t matter to us if they are dupes or alternatives, It depends on the product. They really help us save money, if we choose too. Now for the face, It’s a total guess, You are wearing a half and half face. The reason I say that is the color of the blushes are slightly different. Now to say what is what ???? My guess is Your left side is higher end?

[@evelynmelian-glick436]

Thank you for this video!! I wish you had give. Us setting powders and concealers.

[@MsBookworm03]

Thank you for sharing these alternatives!

[@stacyerck]

I absolutely love the CT setting spray. Thank you so much for finding the Milani dupe!! I always trust your recommendations..they have never steered me wrong

[@libertychic8926]

I've got the L'Oreal prime lab primer!

[@sarahmclin2434]

You look incredible and these are great dupes/alts! I'm definitely going to pick some up.
