Drugstore Dupes for High End Blushes

[@Thaniasofficial]

you are like a dupe queen! I am loving all of your dupe videos

[@BubbleMed]

I have seen other people trying to do similar videos but their dupes don't come to the original color!! I love how much work you put in to find "real" dupes. :) thank you so much!

[@aislinnleblanc8019]

You are like no other beauty guru. You are a beauty scientist. Emily, I feel like we need a makeup line from you.

[@GraceUnderFire2022]

AGREE!!!

[@JoeJonasFan2010]

I imagine from Emily a fabulous line, inexpensive but such wowing products. And nice mascaras :p

[@monisharmuk]

I agree and the amount of hard work that she puts into coming up with dupes! i adore her!

[@ErinJayne82]

I just found her blog and I completely agree. I love tarte and wet n wild and elf so I was super excited to hear she does too.

[@emilyshuler16]

I completely agree! I love Emily's videos! I didn't find her channel till this year &now im going back &watching all her old videos too. I'd love a make-up line from her☆.

[@shannonisjustlovely]

When she showed the super light pink I thought "who wants a dupe for that, I'm Snow White and that doesn't appeal to me at all!" Then she showed the dupe, and that blush was the first I ever bought! Needless to say, I hit MAJOR pan on it! It's gorgeous, and it's also a dupe for Benefit Dandelion! Love it!!

[@ShelbeyWilson]

Emily, you have the most professional and helpful videos out of anyone I watch. I really enjoy watching you and appreciate all the work you put into these videos! You're amazing!

[@livin4jc3]

I'm addicted to my Balm blushes in Down Boy and Frat Boy...I got them as a set at Marshalls for $9. If you ever see them, pick them up!! I haven't even touched my other blushes since. They are the most perfect matte blushes EVER.

[@alishajill6205]

Look at you in 2012!!! You are always so gorgeous, and more importantly are very informative, and I can tell you really love what you do! Very passionate!

[@MaritsaDarman]

If you have more blush you should do a second version of this Emily. This is a really enjoyable video to watch. I'd like to get some tips on updated dupes.

[@mdh1974]

OMG...I finally figured out who you have been reminding me of for the past couple of years as I've been watching you...it's Ashley Judd

[@reneewerner1972bd]

omg girl i agree 100%

[@sempermedusa]

NYX Dusty Rose is an exact (although slightly better pigmented if you use more, but color wise, if you use a light touch) dupe for Too Faced Pinch My Petals.

[@MusicsInMySoul977]

The NYX one in Pinched is AMAZING. Best blush I have, I use it OVER my high end ones most days!

[@spinesewbeautifullybroken4780]

The new Revlon blush in Naughty Nude is very very close to Benefit Rockateur! I was SO excited!

[@missbibi99]

I can always rely on you for the 'go to' on dupes... Another 8mins 45 well spent, thanks Emily!!

[@indayluvs]

I absolutely love your videos Em! I had to de-lurk because Mai Tai is one of HG blushes, I love love love it! Sadly, Milani has discontinued that entire line of blushes and I was sad to think I'd have to live without it once my pan ran out. So how excited was I to learn that there is a dupe in MAC's permanent blush line!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into ALL your videos

[@allthingspretti]

Please so a part 2 of this! I love being able to find affordable options for high end products. Thanks for this!

[@jessicawheelervalle]

Laura Gellars Mimosa blush is my favorite blush of all time but it was LE so I hate to use it. Great to know NYX has a dupe. I have to go get some !

[@toristeveson]

I love that you went the extra mile and didn't just say "look how nice these look in the packages next to each other!" I can really trust what you are saying. Great video!

[@RainHearts21]

You are one of my most favorite beauty gurus on KZbin! Your reviews are honest. Your videos are well-thought out and obviously involve a lot of effort. You aren't trying to sell us products or make us buy products you were sponsored with. You are reallly trying to help us. Thank you! Please keep your videos coming! :)

[@kimberlygoff8436]

Once again you have amazed me. I was so shocked to see all the Elf products that were a perfect match because I own every Elf blush in every finish and shade so this was just awesome for me now I can save a ton of money and buy more makeup oh my lol. And again Thank you for doing this I would love to see all your dups for everything lol.

[@momosahoo]

The reason I really like your videos is because they are quality videos with really informative advice. Most other famous youtube gurus don't even have good, quality videos anymore, and they use products are mostly mac and other high-end things.I like that you create great videos using a lot of drugstore products!It's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into what you put out. Most gurus now are like: "put the light color on the lid,the medium one in the crease,dark on outer v". thanks!

[@Brianna.]

I would really appreciate a dupe video for bronzers! I just bought a small Too Faced Chocolate Soleil for $10, and I like it too much! I would like to spend less than $30 for the same color. :)

[@victoriamunzo]

NYX Matte Bronzer in Deep Tan is the same color and pigmentation, just no chocolate smell!

[@fariali72]

bourjois does a matt chocolate bronzer in a few shades, try them ...also smells of chocolate

[@christopherm6805]

You did a brilliant job of pulling off every dupe. And how you did it with some products that didn't even look the same in the package but swatched out exactly was genius. You cleverly little fox. I cannot begin to tell you how much time, effort, and money you've saved me. Walking into a drugstore makeup department can be daunting. Thank you. I never go to the drugstore without my Emily Guide!

[@SoftSpokenReviews]

Wow you put a great deal of research and effort to match these blushes !! Best dupe video I've seen ! I love your channel , you are so great! Thank you for taking the time to do this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@twoscoop4932]

i always come back to this video not only cos it's super helpful but just the level of professionalism and work you put into researching and presenting the material.

[@MichelleMacAuley]

I would love to see a one brand tutorial done with Pur Minerals, Jane Irdale, Beauty Without Cruelty and any other cruelty-free and more healthy makeup brands.

[@estevens2011]

You are by far the best guru to watch when trying to find dupes...you do such a phenomenal job color matching, while taking into account finish and intensity!! Keep up the awesome work!!

[@BlessedLifeLoveandFaith]

Still an important video to this day! :) What a great dupe video for all sorts of blushes!!

[@edean4040]

I love the time and effort you put into these videos, and I really appreciate your commitment to making beauty affordable to everyone! You're my favorite KZbin guru, and I always feel like I can trust you to give us your honest opinions no matter how high-end or inexpensive the brand. Thanks so much for another wonderful video!

[@maya19283746]

A foundation dupe would be amazing!

[@michellizzzle]

You are the most reliable and informative beauty guru that I'm subscribed to, which makes you my favorite! The amount of dedication and thought you put into your videos is ridiculous, Emily. Thank you so much!!

[@amandablum6771]

You should list the products in the info bar!!! It's embarrassing sometimes being in the store and having to play a video to remember which product you want... Lol

[@Ashley_Marie23]

You look so beautiful in this video! Honestly you're always beautiful, but I think it's the pink top and your curled hair that really brings out your skin tone! You're glowing!

[@2koriprgirl]

How about a high end foundation dupe?

[@Jaime11493]

You are just an amazing human being. I really do appreciate everything that you do for your subscribers. I am struggling right now, trying just to keep up with the bills. But I still like to feel beautiful throughout the day by wearing makeup. You help me in every way, when it comes to saving money. And your kind demeanor really gives me a pick me up at the end of the day! Thank you so much for everything you do!!!

[@mstinasugar]

are you an anchorwoman? your voice sounds like a news lady voice.. very clear and tv-ready

[@insanelittlesilk]

She actually used to be one, but she left her anchor job to work on her channel full time :)

[@Hicourtneyyy1993]

Flushed by Elf is one of my all time favorite blushes. So glad you mentioned it!

[@linlovesbeauty]

A dupe for coralista please! :D

[@frowniebrown86]

coralista and hot mama are basically the same :)

[@xCaseeyMichellex]

elf Tickled Pink I find to be VERY CLOSE in color and even pigmentation, but Coralista is matte and Tickled Pink has a sheen that is apparent under harsh, bright lighting (stage lights, flash, etc)

[@simichowdhury3326]

Candid coral by elf is an exact dupe of coralista. Hot mama is much more pigmented and better quality in my opinion. I hope that helps.

[@lacempire]

I had to stop the video midway to say this. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR EYE MAKEUP! I love this video as well. Please do more of these. Also, I love how you always talk about different colors for different skin colors. I'm African-American and that comes in handy. You're for sure one of my favorite gurus. You're so pretty.

[@stephaniem9836]

Anyone else watching in 2017?

[@samantarizzi248]

2019 ;)

[@soozshooz]

Emily, thank you for ALWAYS keeping it REAL! You are my “Go-To” & I know I can ALWAYS count on you. Please don’t ever change, ❤️ you, your family , your channel. 😊

[@julierader3613]

This was super helpful in me looking for a more bright spring/summer pinky blush & not wanting to spend a lot in finding the right colour for me. I love your down-to-earth approach to make-up. Keep up the great reviews!

[@mshudsonr]

Thank you for all the time and effort you spend for these videos. All of your loyal subscribers truly appreciate it!!!

[@xojuicycouturexo4]

Yes! Its by ELF its a bronzer and blush combo actually theres only one and its only $3 on there website or you can find it in target!

[@tram7]

You are by far my favorite beauty guru. Your videos are great, I have learned so much from watching them. You're articulate and NEVER boring which, from what I have seen around here is rare. So thanks and keep up the good work :)

[@kimunderwood5472]

I'm new to your channel and I'm already addicted. Love your dupes, I can tell you put a lot of time into doing this for us and that means alot of all of us out here!

[@TheBeautyPuzzle]

Every video I watch of yours I have a piece of paper and a pen to write down the next products to try when I'm at the drugstore. I love my high end stuff, but so appreciate a more affordable alternative. No one like you out here on you tube. Keep the videos coming.... and I'll keep watching. Thanks Emily!

[@stephanieLDSgirl]

Yeah I think pretty much the only thing I buy high end is foundation...and maybe liquid/foam bronzers too. St. Tropez is the BEST bronzer I have come across but it is a bit pricey. There are some things that are just worth the money, but I love that Emily brings up what ISNT worth spending more when you can get just as good a product for cheap!

[@lala0091]

I'm so thrilled to find your channel! I'm loving all these dupe suggestions. I LOVE your eyes in this vid. What eyeshadows are you wearing and can you do a tutorial with them? You're awesome! Thanks for all your hard work.

[@Blove0130]

I am a new subscriber and I love your videos. They have helped me so much. I have mature aging skin and I love that you had your mother on recently to discuss older makeup and skincare. Thank you so much!

[@misscutiepatooty]

i love ALL of your tutorials, you are so thorough in your reviews...love it...I've tried some of our recommendations and some I've liked and some not, but you are one of my top guru's on you tube, THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

[@rnkiley]

Thank you for all of your Dupes videos! We have the EXACT same coloring and it's really helpful when you try on the colors because then I know how they will look on me. Keep 'em coming!!

[@LovinBE1]

Thanks so much Emily! This is a awesome video because it helps me get great items/colors at drugstore prices. The more I save from buying high end makeup the more I can buy. Please do more like these! I'm running to go buy 4 of your dup suggestions.

[@samantarizzi248]

These are all amazing dupes!! Even though this video is old, it's still pretty helpful and relevant! :)

[@RachelS84]

I find these videos so helpful, especially for people that don't have a lot of money. You are my favorite beauty guru because u r so honest and not fake. I would love to see hair tutorials. I love all of yours! :)

[@SarahsSeniorYear]

I love Hot Mama blush(I love it but my skin doesn't because apparently have a skin allergy to it or at least the red pigment they use in it). I found it fairly cheaply at Marshall's in a gift set with 2 of the Bahama Mama bronzers( which quickly became far and away my fave bronzer).

[@katacaustic]

Thank you so much for all the work you put into this, Emily! I'm surprised to see that many of the drugstore blushes turn out to be more pigmented than the high end blushes, although maybe sheerer can be better for blushes.

[@afuller1981]

just wanted to say thank you for all your time and effort you put into not only this video but all your videos they are always so clear, easy to follow/understand and very informative. xo

[@vanillalov3r12]

You are amazing!!!! and that is a complete understatement.... when i click on your videos i can always count on the professionalism, quality, and most important humbleness... something scarce in the beauty guru world

[@thisisme4able]

Nice vid! Thanks. I would love to see you do tutorial for ur make up look today. Also an update on ur skincare routine? What are your favorite skin care products that work well.

[@crispinislam]

i really was looking forward to this video because i just discovered how blush can work wonders for your face. Thank you so much. You are my favoritr makeup guru on you tube because you are really well rounded. I also love that you incorporate QVC brands because I am a QVC shopper and know that they offer great value. Keep up the good work!

[@tessalouable]

I am just starting to really get into makeup and your videos are an absolute heaven sent. Seriously, thank you!

[@fsa184]

they say e.l.f natural radiance blusher in innocence and e.l.f's mineral blush in joy are the closest ones, and there is a brand out there called silk naturals that claims that they have an exact dupe and it's their blush in petal. Also, boots no7 natural blush in soft damson and e.l.f. studio blush in tickled pink are pretty close.

[@bmw8913]

Your makeup is just on POINT today. Not that it doesn't look good on other videos, but today you just looked amazing!

[@sandraclark6184]

A person can get really confused which blushes to buy. You have helped so much. You always look great in any color you use. Thanks so much for this video.

[@suzan1mal]

Great video, as always! Your vetting process provides a sense of confidence when I go in search of the dupes. I have yet to be disappointed in your assessments!! Went out and got the PF Happy Blush and the W&W Pearlescent Pink. Can:t wait to wear them!

[@vikamironr]

I just love how much love you put into these videos I'm going makeup shopping this weekend and have my list of dupes because of you! Thank you Beautiful!!!

[@majesstic777]

Emily i swear i was just thinking i wonder if u had a dupe blush vid...im just starting out in my makeup journey at 40 yrs old so this info is gold. Thank u...i am a new subbie and u think u are the bees knees chic!!!

[@Issoka]

I love these dupes videos. I've gone through several of yours and they are fantastic. I would love to find a dupe for the new hourglass blushes but the downfall to matching is buying the high end make up first to test them out together.

[@brittanydawn6910]

I'm in love with Nyx pinched! It's my go to, everday blush. Also a dupe for Nars Orgasm!

[@jenniferjohnsonellis2551]

O.M.G. they are in fact exact. That's amazing! I'm going to Target for that baby pink today! I think that first on from The Blam is similar to NARS organza.

[@mslncdl19]

You are amazing!!! I really appreciate the time and effort that this must have taken. These are my favorite types of videos by you, because you are so good at finding dupes!

[@AdrienneRos3]

benefit's coralista has an EXACT DUPE...if you get milani's baked blush in luminoso its the exact same shade! i have them both and its crazy...milani's might be slightly more shimmery but if you dont mind (i actually prefer benefit because of that) then you can get the same color for about $6-8 vs. $28

[@BeautyinsideNoutxo]

Wow great video, appreciate all the time that went into this. I love how you showed several dups for Mac blushes. I love your dup videos would love to see more

[@coolcatcilla]

I truly appreciate ur advice and dedication to helping those of us who can't afford high end makeup all day everyday. Ur an amazing woman and I'm glad I'm subscribed to such an informative and positive person! ;)

[@lovestruckengel]

Ur so sweet! Doing all this work for us, its just amazing that u care so much, the time and dedication u put into all ur videos goes far beyond any other youtuber i have ever seen. Thank u, i really do appreciate every second u put into ur videos, in the end i can enjoy makeup on a budeget and yet look great and put together like someone that only shops high end. Thank u soo so so very much

[@pineappleupside]

You need to try Sleek, the quality & lasting power is phenomenal -Sleek Santorini is exactly like MAC Full Fuchsia, Also Sleek has a Dupe for exhibit A.. I find Chanel Espiegle to look just like Milani Luminoso as well..

[@leah-in-recovery]

You’ve always been a blush lover! You encouraged my enthusiasm for it as well! ❤

[@karibear3185]

You look so pretty in this video Emily. Pink & brown is a good color combo on you.

[@takemetotaji]

as soon as you showed the balm hot mama, i immediately thought of glow by elf!! love that blush

[@ggmarketing2]

Just returned from Target picked up the maly dupe from physicians formula in natural so excited to try! Unfortunately my target does not sell the dollar elf blushes I will go to another target. Picked up WnW pearlescent pink at walgreens going home AND milani corallina in honor of emily!

[@numinousniharika]

I love the amount of effort you're putting in for these for dupe videos. Really appreciate that! Thanks for doing this. :D

[@joyswizz]

lucky to found ur channel, this is the best beauty /tutorial/ and most informative channel i've ever found. i could watch this channel all year around. Thank u so much great job....

[@Beautyforyou123]

@Katelon Chuante you can usually find the brand nyx in ulta. Around the same price of maybelline products

[@MakeupbyLou]

I love your make-up in this video. I've just discovered you and I'm obsessed!!! I especially love your dupe videos.

[@fionad.3378]

I absolutely love all your dupe vids! They are always dead-on and just amazing.

[@CutePokapipi]

such an EXCELLENT video.. you really done an superb job. The blushes comparisons are so perfect the swatches look exactly the same!! WOW. your great!

[@sparrowsparrow]

Thank you for doing a great spectrum of colors and brands! Your dupe finds are incredible!

[@iluvyou345]

I'm so excited to see a blush dupe for Tarte! Can't wait to buy the Wet n Wild blush in Pearlescent Pink! xo

[@christinahu3390]

Great vid. My question though is even if the cheap versions of these high end blushes would look the same in swatches, their quality in terms of wear time, heat resistance, etc may still not the same. And most importantly, the effect to the skin. I think the high end ones prob damage the skin less in the long run.

[@vanessagonzales1509]

Recently came across your videos again, and I'm glad I did! I love that you are like a beauty encylcopedia when it comes to drug store products. Keep up the amazing work Emily!

[@StephanieHall2672]

That was a great video Em. You always have our backs when it comes to saving money , but it is nice to splurge on high end products when we can . Thanks to you I am in love with Laura Gellar Balance and Brighten. If you could find a dupe for that you would really rule the universe as the dupe Grand Po- Bah !

[@pooka994]

Your lip color is so beautiful in this video.. So fun and youthful! Love it.

[@summerbliss13]

You're simply the best! You're a true beauty guru. Thank you for going out of your way to make this video for us! Seriously, I'm subscribed to several beauty "vloggers" (I don't consider them gurus), but you're a true beauty gury Emily!!! Please keep these videos coming! xoxo

[@manmabel2423]

I agree that you're a dupe queen, their finish look really similar!!!! Thumb up!!!

[@thobbit60]

Drugstore brands keep their price points under $20 for their product lines; so considering the price point of the The Balm's products it is considered a high end brand. The Balm is available at Sephora, major department stores, and thru The Balm website here in the US.

[@imaliddobebe]

Very helpful video. :) I almost purchased the Fleur Power blush from MAC too and I stopped because of the price and now I know there's a dupe! Thank you!

[@kmoo4161]

Awesome video Emily! Picked through my collection and already own a few of these. One question - with the Physician's Formula blush you suggest as a dupe for the Mally, are you sure it's the "natural" shade. They may be different here in Australia but our "natural" is actually more peachy and the "Rose" shade is really pinky like the one you showed. They often change names of things for Australian release - I've never understood why! Thanks for a fabulous video!

[@marimynxx]

I know this video may be a bit older since it was published in 2012 BUT you are always so informative and just give great advice/info!! Love this series so please please do an update!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work^^

[@ggmarketing2]

Emily please make a video on what blushes coordinate with particular eye shadow colors and lipsticks pleassssseeee this would be super invaluable and much appreciated!

[@Dokkenbrown]

I wonder if it's more difficult to find dupes for peaches and purples than pinks. You did a great job with all these pink colors. I may even try a couple of the ELF blushes. Thank you for your hard work!
