I love alter ego- I tell people who like ND to wait a few months and alter ego will make the palette. 70$ for a palette is crazy to me

[@irairod5160]

Oh, goodness gracious! If that Catrice powder is as good as the urban Decay, I'll buy multiples of it. The Urban Decay powder performed amazingly well during a record heat wave (and through hot flashes!) in Southern Spain/Lower Mediterranean/Greek Islands a couple of summers ago. I have not often been as impressed with a product as I was with that powder. I remember everyone's face was melting---except mine!

[@sureiseeyou]

I have that catrice powder and it's fantastic. I compared it with Its bye bye pores.

[@mariannakump8857]

Hi Stephanie! Great video. I'm always up for a great dupe! I have to give the Alter Ego palette a try. I had disappointing results with the Makeup by Mario foundation. It made my dry, mature skin (62) with visible pores look tragic! 😂 On the other hand, the Revlon Illuminance looks beautiful on my skin. I get compliments from strangers! I think finding a good foundation for my skin is my biggest challenge .

[@karenallen3486]

Thank you so much for a great video. I want to try the catrice powder. Especially at that price. Have a great week!

[@maryabdel-malik656]

Great video I consider dupes are like generic drugs if you can’t afford the brand get generic so nothing wrong with dupes

[@k.popper2620]

I love Alter Ego Pallets.. I've got this one on order... now it's just a waiting game until they dupe the ND I need a nude pallet... no matter how pretty the color story is and don't get me wrong the ND is gorgeous. I just can't afford $70 on an eyeshadow palette.. not in this economy.

[@lisaf895]

For Charlotte tilbury lip liner dupe try milani lip liner in most natural...I think that might be very close

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Off I went to AlterEgo for the shadow palette and thank you very much for the 10%off code! You look marvelous as always, I always find what you bring USEFUL! I will be picking up that lovely Mac Modesty lipstick (how did I miss it?) momentarily :). Love your videos!

[@StephanieMarie]

I think you'll really enjoy it! Thank you!

[@mari22]

You look so pretty! And love Iconic Nude too, but I think Nyx Nude Truffle is closer than Nude Beige. But like you said, not exactly dupe because of formula. The best dupe I have found so far is Iconic London Material Girl.

[@nicolestokes5757]

Yes! Nude Truffle is my favorite lipliner color of all time. I wish it had the formula of my CT or Rare Beauty liners.

[@mari22]

@@nicolestokes5757 Couldn’t agree more 😘 But Nude T. is my fave too, esp. in hot weather.

[@mels7360]

I have oily skin, and moon crater sized pores. Luminous makeup just doesn't work for me. Sometimes, matte makes me look dull and tired, though. It's tough to find a compromise.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

You might try powder foundation. There's lots of videos out there about different ones. I like Alima Pure loose powder foundation that you buy online.

[@ambergerhelper7852]

I like matte foundation for the lasting power, but matte powder isn’t for me. The Elf Halo Glow loose powder instantly makes my foundation, ANY foundation, look amazing. When I first tried it, my eyes literally went 😳😳😳. Have you tried it?

[@mels7360]

I bought the elf powder, but haven't tried it yet.

[@cindyb9830]

I am so happy you did a review on the Alter Ego palette. I ordered it several days ago and just waiting for it to come in. With you comparing it to ND, I am so happy I purchased it, the colors are so close and your eyes look amazing!💚

[@farrisscollins1890]

There are a couple of Milani lip pencils that may possibly duoe the Charlotte Tilbury lio liner. I am not a fan of the nyx lip pencils. They are dry and difficult to draw your lip line on.

[@kathleenp3135]

The very first thing I noticed was the eyeshadow. Alter Ego looks much better.

[@mykitm7104]

Really? I feel the exact opposite. I always recognize Natasha eyeshadows, they look stunning and unique always. I have so many of her palettes, no one can compare with how elegant and beautiful they are. And I have tried many eyeshadow palettes, single eyeshadows, from mainstream brands, indie brands and drugstore brands.

[@kathleenp3135]

@@mykitm7104 There was something about the sheen that was coming from the middle to inner eye area that stood out to me. Nice to hear about the Natasha palettes. The one I’ve been eyeing is the my dream palette. Not sure if there’s a dupe for it but those colors look beautiful.

[@mykitm7104]

@@kathleenp3135 My Dream palette is beautiful! I didn’t think I would love it but it’s so dramatic and beautiful. Every shade just works beautifully. Definitely a great palette. I also ordered her new one, so hope to get it this week.

[@amandas.2745]

I like alter ego palettes I just wish they would have done a version of zendo.

[@StephanieMarie]

They still may. Sometimes they do them a little later :)

[@amandas.2745]

@StephanieMarie I know I have alot of theirs palettes and original ND palettes. I normally try to travel with my Alter Ego palettes so I don't risk breaking my ND palettes.

[@susand4230]

Loved this! So many good alternatives. I did guess your high end side. I think it was because of the foundation coverage.

[@sarahmanfra899]

Hi Stephanie, Wow! These dupes are unbelievable! Great job! Love your channel and always look forward to viewing it! 💖💄💆

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much!!

[@renatakuhner6717]

I think your left side is the high end.

[@gracer656]

Have you tried the catrice under eye brightness?

[@DawnMGP58]

The Catrice Under Eye Brightener reminds me of the Becca one too. 😊

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes! It's actually showing up in my next under eye roundup :) I really like it. I find it a bit less tacky/sticky than these yet very nice a creamy!

[@lorimartino6496]

The catrice under eye corrector is fabulous and in the same pot too❤

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes and it's not quite as sticky as the other two :)

[@NestingInNashville]

The new Catrice Under Eye Brightener is a perfect dupe for the Becca. I have a swatch photo on my Amazon Review.

[@lyndamoorhead]

Whoops, got the sides wrong 🙇🏼‍♀️😂 To my eye the dupes side looks more ‘expensive’, maybe because the foundation’s a little more sheer or the blush seems a touch more diffused. Gorgeous either way! Catrice are on fire at the moment; I recently picked up a marbled blush and oil-infused highlighter powder and have been so impressed that they have become everyday staples. Definitely going to check out the setting powder.

[@autumnmabis6998]

Your background is so pretty. 😍

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! This is the first video with the added lights! I wanted to play around with it a bit. Thank you so much!

[@maryjeangramont3601]

That’s funny I was thinking the same thing- love-

[@ceanieparks8110]

My favorite Mac lipstick is Cosmo....they say it's a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk....whatever....I like Cosmo better!!!!

[@MakeupAgain561]

You looked stunning!❤ I was wrong! I thought the right side was the high end! Wow! I have that ND palette and like it! Now I’m wondering if I should wait for an Alter Ego version of the I Need a Nude palette since I mostly want it for the shimmers. Although ND’s shimmers are something else…

[@LenaSheppard]

Yay! This was fun. Oh I like the eyelook; I'd like to try the palette. Unfortunately, my work hrs were cut so I'm not buying makeup now. Thank you for being here for us !

[@terryblevins2516]

Cant believe AEbis just 20 dollars and 69.00 for eyeshadow i just cant im 47 and honey all eyeshadow is is powder i mean come on... After the stunt ND pulled on some influencers I just thought that was shady and wrong of her and some ppl are mad... Dosent she know influencers like you and others give her free advertising you think she would be happy but ill not buy ND after that!! Like i said you DO NOT have to buy a 69.00 palette to look nice there are so many others that are better then hers!!! Catrice undereye brighter is a great dupe for becca.... Ok your video was great jen!!! ❤

[@donnamaly7168]

Just found your channel! Already bought the dupe eyeshadow kit. Next, MAC lipstick. TY for all of this!

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

I think the Revlon Illuminance is a better dupe for Armani Luminous Silk. They're virtually identical in finish, texture, and coverage!

[@lisasanders4818]

Hello Ms Steph!! We all know u are a busy busy lady getting all this great beauty space info to us multiple times a week, but I wanted to comment b4 even allowing the video to play, b/c I figured there was a better chance u would read my comment if I was closer to the top. I just wanted to say something that was on my heart after watching ur NIRA laser video celebrating their 4th anniversary. I am appalled at the number of awful, just awful, accusations that u have had “work” done, or are simply lying more or less to make money. Hmmmmmm, I have a problem w/that, a BIG problem! Firstly, u do all the research, all the tough stuff if u will, to bring us this info. It’s just downright shameful that internet trolls? I think they are referred to, do this, & not just to you, but all the way around this space. Look, if u don’t like something or someone-DONT WATCH!!! With that said, also the comments about how youthful/fuller more voluminous you’re “suddenly” looking, and forcing u(or u felt forced), to admit to some weight gain! I’m angry Stephanie, for you, with you, it’s gross behavior. And I’m so impressed that when u address these persons(and I use that term loosely), u do it with such grace and dignity! And lastly, then I swear my rant is over- no one, and I mean no one, expects you to work for free, I don’t , so why should they? It’s absurd to expect someone not to do affiliate links or sponsorships here and there to make a paycheck. How do people expect u to keep bringing us this invaluable information w/out u getting yours??!?! ....Sigh* I’m angry 😡 about this. I do want to end on a high note; I don’t care what u have going on dear, u always look radiant and beautiful 🤩 PS. There is nothing wrong w/getting procedures, etc (I just got lip filler for the first time this month)-and I’m loving it, but to each their own! I’m also not going to deny that I had it done and try to sell someone the idea that this(fill in the blank) product did the trick, you also would never deceive us that way either. I believe if u had something done u would admit it. You wouldn’t sell a line of bs to promote yourself bottom line! Love you 😘 & keep up the hard work 💄💋👏🏻❤️💄💋👏🏻❤️

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a sweet, thoughtful comment. It made my day! I really appreciate it so much. I'm so glad to have you here. Thank you!! 💖

[@marniash9559]

I have the retro glam and it’s so pretty, but I like the layout of the alter ego so I changed my palette layout to match the alter ego lol. I can say the alter ego palettes are really really good quality and if I hadn’t have already gotten in Natasha Denona pallet I would’ve bought this one

[@StephanieMarie]

I meant to say something about the layout and totally forgot 🤦🏼‍♀️ It was a chaotic filming day that ran long! I like the layout too! Great point! :)

[@letyreyna6511]

thanks for vid pretty lady, be safe

[@smilodon87]

$69 for eyeshadow?!?! do we ever stop to think how absolutely nuts that is? it's tiny amounts of colored powder.

[@donnagholar9695]

Well done! Alter Ego is a nice alternative especially considering the markup on makeup. The look is good on you! Keep up the good work!

[@kacie3289]

I have that lash comb. Just be very careful. I poked my eyeball once and couldnt see for an entire day. Had to wear an eye patch.

I guessed the high end side but it was just a guess! Your look is beautiful!❤

[@erinriley2059]

The ulta under eye corrector is the same thing as the Becca in a less sticky formula

[@hopemccullough344]

Hi Stephanie, I absolutely love your videos. Which brush are you using to apply the blushes? Thanks for helping me find good products for mature skin.

[@vickythoele584]

I believe she is using BK beauty brushes

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! I should probably add that to my description, but didn't even think about it! The brush I used for the liquid blushes was this one: bit.ly/3aNt2wn (10% off with code STEPHANIE10) and the brush I used for the powder blushes was 05 here: www.rephr.com/products/brush-37?vr=kadoep (they're having BOGO right now). Thank you so much and thank you for watching! 💗

[@chrissymoss514]

Well done to Alter Ego, they have managed (yet again) to create an awesome palette. I already own the ND palette but I will be getting the AE version for travelling purposes. The blusher dupe (Elf) was very much like the PT one, wow!!! A few myths and some legends - great vid 👍👍👍👍 Much love to you, 🤍🌸💜🤍🌸💜🤍🌸💜🤍

[@StephanieMarie]

That's a great idea to get it to travel to not bring your expensive palette! Thank you Chrissy! Happy Sunday!

Excellent video. Made notes of several items I am going to purchase! Thank you SO MUCH for trying these and giving us such in depth reviews. Those Alter Ego eye palettes are amazing, but didn’t realize they came out with this particular one. Love the shades. I bought one Natasha Denona palette, and will never buy another! Did not like the colors, the texture, anything about it! I would buy Tarte over ND any day! But Alter Ego has my vote! Have a great rest of the week❤️❤️

[@denisecharlton8040]

Thanks Stephanie!, really enjoyed that!. I do like the becca u delete brightened and an more than half way through mine. I’ve just bought the bobbi brown colour corrrector stick also as found the Charlotte tilbury under eye corrector quite drying on me!. I also have that Natasha demons palette but don’t teach for that one much compared to her more neutral palette. x❤

[@dhayden1981]

Hi, I am a 1st time viewer of your channel. You sure do remind me of another influencer named Jen Phelps that I follow. Maybe you have heard of her? If not, you should check her out as I highly recommend it. You both have similar content. I was not aware that Alter Ego came out with a NEW palette. I would have never even recognized it as a ND Retro Glam palette dupe. I've been waiting to see if anyone would. I have the original ND RG palette. It appears the prices have highly increased as they were $16-18 each. Anyway, I look forward to watching more videos.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you! I love Jen. She’s a sweetheart!

[@dhayden1981]

Yes, I love her too. When your face popped up on my YT feed I thought it was her. I wasnt paying attention to the name. And then I got to looking and it was you, not her. I got so excited. I was like, "YAY, I got another Jen jr." and I flipped over the moon. So I started watching the video and that's when I noticed how similar you are individually and professionally. You could pass as sisters. But yeah...Jen is a gem and I enjoy her content and now I have a new person to add to my " collection" and if you cant tell already, I'm already smiling. I love makeup, especially affordable makeup. I dont change my beauty routine much, but I mainly come for the blush, bronzer, highlighters, eyeshadows, and mascara. I love getting to know influencers as well. I enjoy most content like you and her put out. Some influencers can go overboard at times, but I like to keep it subtle. I'm almost 42 and just learning abt skin care. I dont want or need anymore squiggly lines in my face. Anyways, thanks for getting back to me. Have a good night.@@StephanieMarie

[@GordonLouis-w9f]

Hey Stephanie! I've been using the Lottie London undereye brightener as a base under concealer for the past couple of months, and it keeps things in place without creasing. The darker shade also works to restore a little more natural color to my silvery-white divot scar from a BCC removal on my cheek. I can't say enough good things about the Lottie London product, as well as your dupe comparison videos. Love your energy and thorough explanations! Thanks for the video!

[@erin8205]

Thanks Steph! I’ve had my eye on that ND retro palette dupe. I adore your channel and am thrilled that you reviewed that palette! Also I was not aware of that new Revlon foundation, looks nice. ❤ ps, we’re the same age so I appreciate your thoughts on mature skin.

[@wendiehosbach5508]

Hi, Quick question- I bought a nira pro (through your link using your code) and the battery only lasted one face, neck and hands first time and just the face second, is this a normal battery charge? I did charge fully before using. Would love your knowledge or anyone else’s who owns one. Thanks Wendie

[@StephanieMarie]

That's very strange. Mine lasts a long time. Have you charged it a full 24 hours again and re-tried it? I'd definitely contact them if the problem persists. I know several people with both the pro and premium and the batteries are all fine. Keep me updated! :)

[@wendiehosbach5508]

Thank you so much for getting back to me 😊 I had no idea that it had to be charged for 24 hours prior to use, the booklet says it should take no longer than 3hours to charge. I’ll charge for 24 and try again.

[@janb9668]

So glad you mentioned the Lottie London under eye corrector. I looked at it last week and wasn’t sure if I should pick it up. I have not tried the becca one so I may pick the Lottie London one up. Thanks 😊

[@dyoungerman.]

I've been pleasantly surprised by the Catrice powder. The Urban Decay oxidized very noticeably on me within a couple hours. This Natasha Denona palette (and the Alter Ego) are very pretty additions to the marketplace. I like the I Need A Nude palette even better. Since I could never find the shades I needed, I created my own neutrals palette from Sydney Grace shadows. Their mattes are fantastic, plus their shimmer & color accent options are stunning! As a bonus, their shade descriptions + swatches are detailed & extremely helpful.

[@Ms.CindyLee]

I noticed a different look on each side of Stephanie with the powders. I thought even though translucent, maybe it really was because the UD was less so. Now I'm wondering if it oxidized a bit. Hmm well Catrice you're in.

[@michellesapp7867]

The trick to hiding pours is to use elf putty primer first. Amazing looking skin. IMO

[@Ms.CindyLee]

I like the right side of my screen (your lleft), which is the dupe side better. From what I can see on screen, the dupe side colors look more natural and flatter you very well. It seems the blush looked similar prior to powder, but I like how the Catrice powder made that side look. Could have been lighting, but the higher end side looked what I call "dirty" . I've been eyeing the elf blush duos, but unsure what shade, I'll try the watermelon 🍉.
