THIS DUPE IS...WOW🤯 Alter Ego Mirage Palette Review

[@larissamartinez6880]

I'm so grateful for Alter Ego because as a single mom I can't afford all of the new high-end palettes. $70 for Huda and ND is just bonkers to me! Also you look stunning in these warm bronzy shades!

[@onewhisper22005]

My son is 18 now but I’m a single mom too and have been the whole time raising him. It was a struggle for sure and for a while I didn’t even buy any makeup at all! I bought a Covergirl concealer stick and a blush and it’s all I wore for years 😂 I was working plus putting myself through school and any time I had even a little extra money, it went to him. But then once he got a little older I was in the store and went down the makeup aisle and remembered how much I loved makeup and got a few things and it started my obsession for makeup again 😂 Now that I’m done with school and not struggling as much…it’s still crazy to me to spend $70+ for palettes!! Though I do love Hudas formula but only ever tried it to start because I wait until the holiday sale where they often have palettes 50% off and got one to try then, and each year get one then! 😂 Alter Ego is amazing doing such spot on dupes with a great formula! I love it!

I’m in the same boat as a single retired grandmother of 12 with six adult married children. Yeah, my budget is tight, especially in this economy.

[@tracyfrederick5606]

I did a massive declutter and I honestly decluttered mostly high end. Affordable palettes can be just a good. I find huda 's formula too pigmented. I'd rather have less pigmented but buildable formulas.

[@rosemaryyates2154]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I was a single mom. I think about that every time I see a high-end makeup video title. I think about how insane a $70 pallet seems like for someone who is worried about shoes for their munchkin. Love and blessings to all single or struggling moms. I’m so grateful for content creators like Jen who keep it real for those who need it.

[@sydt7104]

You can never go wrong with the Alter Ego Cosmetics palettes. Literal top tier palettes.

[@Bruuner]

I feel like you’re really opening up and letting your personality shine more in your videos lately and I am here for it!

[@opheliasgrace]

I'm so excited Alter Ego duped this palette. I wanted Empowered, it's so beautiful, but I'm tired of shimmer getting all over my cheeks and undereye no matter what I do when I use Huda. I don't understand how she can have such high end palettes and the shimmer fall out be so atrocious.

[@meitalkabeli509]

The colors are beautiful. I appreciate that Alter Ego releases these palettes inspired by more expensive brands. I actually have preferred the Alter Ego formula and colors in the Canyon palette, which I think was a great dupe for ND Bronze. I used the Alter Ego one more than the ND one. I love the look you created, looks beautiful.

[@elizabethnachman2557]

Any day with a Jen video is a good day! ❤😊

[@LisaMarlene.]

You look so pretty today! And your makeup has been looking really good your last few videos, not that it never did before. 😊❤

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you! 🥰💕

[@Katie_Woo]

For £5.99 i got yhe W7 dupe called Influence and it's pretty much identical to the Huda and the quality blew my mind. The metallics are like butter and the mattes blend effortlessly without dusting away, shocked and surprised in the best way, great little impulse purchase 👍👍

[@BrendaBostonGirl]

I was very tempted by the PR photos for this one, and your video made it look awesome, but i went back and watched your review on the Huda Empowered and realized the reasons I did not need that one also apply to this one! I can get these colors from palettes I already own. 😊

[@tammyherrera7262]

Mirage is a beautiful palette 😍 it’s going on my wishlist. I wish Alter Ego would dupe the Naughty Nude palette 😊❤️💄

[@heavaforeva]

I was on temu today and found a dupe of the Hude empowered and naughty and it had great reviews lol will see how it is when it comes in

[@tammyherrera7262]

@@heavaforeva ooohhhh thanks for the heads up!

[@CathyRosa1111]

I want to thank you for your amazing videos! Helping women on a budget to be able to feel good about spending our hard earn money to get that bang for our buck and not feel left out for not being able to afford all the high-end prices yet still being able to experience the high end formulas for less ❤

[@EnvyBlu]

Ooo I may have to get that Mirage palette. I love Alter Ego eyeshadows! I have the Coastal palette, and Shadow Kiss, and love them both. Although I think they changed/improved their formula from the two palettes. I think they greatly improved their formula for the newer Coastal palette. I’m sure that’s probably the same formula they’re using in the Mirage palette. Their shadows are SO GOOD, silky, and smooth. That just shows how marked up those high end eyeshadow prices are, because clearly they can make excellent formulas for a much lower cost.

[@The3GMom]

I prefer the Alter Ego lay out so much better. Great job, excellent useful content.

[@rosemaryyates2154]

That’s such a beautiful look you created, Jen! Just lovely. I’m crazy about the I’m Meme powder! I don’t know why that amazing stuff isn’t viral!

[@JenPhelps]

I'm so glad you love the powder too! 🥰🥰

[@Alice-fr1ef]

Well you got me again Jen. I can not tell the difference at all. I got an email from Alter Ego on this palette and I like it just as much as those I've gotten from them before. The Alter Ego side look smoother to me too. I learned of Alter Ego and Moira from you Jen and I am so happy with both of those brands. They are very price friendly too. Thanks so much Jen and I appreciate your reviews.❤🌺🌹💐🥰

[@Roadie247]

Ok guys I need a recommendation for the BEST mascara. One drugstore option and one high end. My lashes are pretty long but grow wildly lol. I’m 49 and ain’t got time for games or surprises with any makeup! Thanks in advance ❤❤❤❤ love you Jen! You’re the best!!!!

[@Panthia_Poe]

Your Alter Ego pallette did look more smooth to me before you mentioned it. Both looks are beautiful.

[@FreudianOne]

I’m in the minority, sadly. I just haven’t liked the Alter Ego formula. I tried the Goddess palette & the Desert Dusk inspired dupe years ago. I just love watching Jen - so - here I am!

[@EnvyBlu]

I have the little bit older Shadow Kiss palette, then I recently bought the Coastal palette, and the two palettes have completely different formulas. The new Coastal palette has unbelievable, amazing formulas! I couldn’t believe how good those shadows were for that price. I believe they’ve greatly improved their formulas recently. Those Coastal shadows feel smoother than my ABH, and my Urban Decay palettes. I’ve actually hit pan in a few of the shadows in that palette 😮

[@JenPhelps]

I agree the newer ones are so much better!

[@LauraFagelman]

I honestly like the Alter Ego side better! I received the Mirage palette as well and i think this is their best formula yet! Also, when i have glitter fall out, I find using a spooly to flick it away is much cleaner and faster. Great review as always! ❤

[@JenPhelps]

That's a great idea Laura! I'm going to try that next time...I was dealing with glitter on my face all day, LOL. I agree, this one seems like the best formula yet!🥰💕

[@ekayburke]

I'm thankful for Alter Ego because I can't justify spending almost $100 on eyeshadow. It's too much. Plus, I like that their shadows aren't so intense.

[@LenaSheppard]

I just love when you do comparisons to dupes. I guessed the alter ego on your right. A very pretty look. I appreciate you so much for being here !

[@pamcollins1651]

The bronze colours on your eyes truly makes them POP 😘😳

[@kellymalone2088]

This is awesome got my email from alter ego earlier today, almost bought it and then said no I'm going to wait to see what Jen says about it. Knew you'd have a video on it. So glad now, I'm really excited to go get the palette. I have several and absolutely love them. Thank you for keeping it real

[@StarryViolet]

That lip color looks amazing with the eyeshadow 😍

[@RaelNikolaidis]

I know it’s meant to be a “dupe” palette, but if you can forget comparing it to the Huda palette and just look at the Mirage palette as itself, it’s a stunningly beautiful eyeshadow palette in its own right. And I’m probably going to buy it next month. PS you are always super-duper, whether you are duping or not. 😊

[@jilljohnson251]

The brows are on point today! Love the beautiful warm fall look. THIS is what Autumn Glam looks like!

[@Dee17050]

I wanted the Huda palette so badly when it was released last year but never purchased. So glad I waited! Thanks for the code and can’t wait til mine arrives.

[@anonymous-dc3bt]

I usually prefer the Alter Ego formula to everything else. It's soft and blends so easily and on my 50+ year old lids I need something that has some glide. Some of the high end formulas like Pat M., Natasha, Huda are too heavy and don't blend for me. I'm so glad you introduced us to this brand!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I'm 61 and have really dry skin. And of course it's crepey around my eyes. I find that some eye shadow formulas just don't work well on me. Unfortunately, it's trial and error.

[@TracyD2]

@@20thcenturyrelicviseart is a safe bet for mature eyes except for the new Lotus collection for some reason. If they change their formula I swear to god… Alter Ego is ok not special. I’m sorry to say. It’s hard to find someone that wasn’t given the palette with codes and such. I’ll leave it there.

[@FourJaysFour]

@@TracyD2Ive been wanting to try Viseart

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@TracyD2 Thanks for the tip. When I end my current "super low buy", I'll keep it in mind. I have a lot of eye shadow and lipstick to use up right now. And am actually doing so! I'm only replacing mascara 4 months after the first use, which is the maximum amount of time the FDA recommends keeping it.

[@amandawhitlock8607]

I've been patiently waiting for your review Jen! I'm consistently impressed with Alter Ego and how they can put out such good quality for the price. Have a wonderful weekend!🍂🍂🤗🤗👑👑

[@gstang8241]

Love that look - I thought the colors look familiar- there are similar colors in the Morphe Desert Rose palette

[@lisathornton4831]

I wanted to share a possibility for a makeup mirror. Last year around the holidays I bought the Ilios mirror on a deal and I love it! It is a little pricey but I am 63 almost 64 and I couldn't see well enough to put mascara on. Also the light is adjustable which made it easy as well. It has social media features on it which don't help me at all but it might be of use for you. I have purchased a few of the Alter Ego palettes and really like them. I didn't buy this Huda palette because the color story wasn't of interest to me. The eye look you created was pretty but just not for me. Thank you so much for these videos Jen.

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you, I'll check that mirror out! :)

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I just ordered the Shadow Kiss 15, and the Luster Charm 10 eyeshadow palettes and used your code. Thank you. I'll ask my daughter which she wants and I'll keep the other. I love them!❤

[@hippie6972]

I really do enjoy Alter Ego palettes as , much as Natasha Damona, & Huda. I see no difference between them on my eyes. I love Huda, but I'm going to go order this palette through Alter Ego!

[@nidiadoherty5405]

I wish we were having Fall weather here in Florida, I’m loving all the Fall-inspired makeup looks coming out now! I skipped the Empowered palette, but will probably pick Mirage up during their next sale or free shipping offer. Great comparison, as always, Super Duper! 😂

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Gorgeous fall toned eye look Jen! Honestly can’t see a difference between the Huda and the Alter Ego palettes.

[@SimplyTamz]

I actually guessed correctly on which side was Huda vs Alter Ego. There was a richness to the Huda side.

[@roxanneviews2]

The bk beauty brushes look so good but even with a 10% discount it's too expensive ...I need a 60 80% sale 😊

[@karenallen3486]

The palettes are beautiful! Love all the colors.

[@deejohnson827]

Jen, this eye look is so pretty on you! I'm quite tempted to buy the Alter Ego Mirage palette. Thanks for the code!

[@RaeRae1100]

The look turned out gorgeous, Jen!

[@christineb6841]

Thanks, Jen! I saw this palette teased a few days ago, and I knew exactly who I was going to watch while getting ready this morning! I knew you'd have a great video (and comparisons) with this palette!! You are the best!!!

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Jen, thank you for doing this video, comparing these two pallets, it’s great that you can create similar colours from two different price points of pallets. Jen I don’t know if you tried cleaning up glitter fallout with a makeup wipe wrapped over a Q tip, this hack always helps me,when I get glitter in inner corners / under my eyes, hope you don’t mind me sharing this hack with you. Love Katherine xoxo

[@ginadavidson9536]

This look turned out so pretty jen it really makes your eyes stand out.

[@tedoymisojos]

Beautiful eye look! Already picked this one up; if I like it ill get another color scheme from them. Great comparison, ty Jen❤

[@tianiortiz8529]

They definitely do a great job on dipping the vibes. I own two of their pallets, and they work beautifully.

[@monicapatton1405]

I’ve never tried Alter Ego. This would be an amazing series or kind of montage of different palettes of theirs. Or your top favs and recommendations. Thanks for sharing ❤ Hope you’re feeling better 😊

[@k.popper2620]

The moment I got the email that they released it I bought it! I am a sucker for eyeshadow palettes!

[@MakeupAgain561]

I loved the eye look you created! Your whole makeup look was really lovely 💕 I cannot wait to get this palette because I had been eyeing the Huda palette, but wasn’t sure how much I would use it. Now I can get the dupe and spend less than half the amount 💃🏿 Thank you so much for the video! ❤❤

[@krista436]

Love this whole look on you, including your hair! 😊

[@lyn930]

Incredibly similar. One of the best dupes ever. Thanks, Jen. Blessings!

[@sandrabedard7848]

Beautiful look on you and I love the bronze brown look. I actually like the Mirage pallet look better so I would go for Alter Ego pallet. Thanks for sharing these Dupe videos it saves people money with having the same beautiful looks !!

[@sherrypettit5552]

Love the palette. I like your eyeshadow application technique. I don't have hooded eyes, but I do have aging, downturned eyes. That kind of happened overnight. So I need to learn all over again

I think the alter Ego pallets are excellent. I only have one Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette. After buying the alter ego dupe, I saw no real difference that justifies the price difference. I’m hoping the dupe the ND I Need A Nude eventually. This Mirage is too warm for me, but it’s nice to see them compared! Thanks Jen!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Jen, thanks for the video! I like your makeup in this one. I'm guessing Alter Ego on your left eye. I'll be surprised if I'm right because I always guess wrong! (Edit: Wrong again!) I paused the video on the swatches, and wow the colors are pretty much - although not all - identical. And the Alter Ego palette costs 65% (!!) less than the Huda Beauty one. Unless the HB formula is a lot better, it would be hard for me to justify purchasing it. And I'm so envious that it's cool enough to wear sweaters where you are. I'm still running the air conditioning where I live, but, soon it'll be cool enough for my sweaters!

[@JenPhelps]

Funny enough we've been running the AC this week too! It's been in the 80's here and feels like summer. But this top is very thin and is a crop top so its not too hot, haha. I can't bring myself to wear sweaters just yet!
