Ok.. is this ACTUALLY a DUPE?!

[@Andio1966]

I’ve heard that a chemist compared ingredients and actually gave higher marks to the Elf formula as having more effective/better quality skin benefiting properties.

[@cassiepathak]

The CT one gives me cystic acne whereas the ELF doesn't so for me the low price is just a bonus

[@lovelyamethyst]

I wouldn’t actually be surprised.

[@hannah_wommack]

Do you know who the chemist is?

@@hannah_wommack sorry. I don’t. It was discussed in another YT video. I’ll try to remember whose it was.

Doesn't surprise me. Just because a cosmetic product has a high price tag doesn't mean it's actually a high quality product. Drugstore brands and just lower price brands have already proven that 10x over at this point! 😉

Okay, I absolutely LOVE how your husband knows how you enjoy your highlighter to appear. 👏 I give him serious props on being able to tell that the difference as well.

elf one better

[@rebeccac.1758]

The maybelline one is glittery, and the elf one is pearly. Also maybelline is thinner in texture. Elf is creamier. Very different products.

[@mintypatapeepee7106]

i LOVE the maybelline one and wear it every time i wear makeup, it’s so pretty on my skin and with my preferences. i ordered the elf one a week ago and it gets to my house soon, i have high hopes! im hoping it is like the maybelline one but slightly different because my one meh thing about the maybelline is the consistency sometimes is weird and doesn’t fit the vibe for the day.

I love to use the e.l.f. on its own as my base product and spot conceal, especially when I'm running behind or just don't feel like taking too much time with my makeup. I have normal-oily skin so I do set my t-zone with powder, but I don't find this to break down like some foundations do on my skin throughout the day. I will never be without the e.l.f. in my collection and I never have to have FOMO for not spending the $$ on Charlotte Tilbury. It's a true win-win for me!

[@bethanythatsme]

Used the ELF halo glow for the first time today and it's actually worth the hype 🌞

[@queenofhorror29]

Drugstore makeup products have been doing really well and in a lot of cases have better products and dupes than high end brands and products

[@robertamandab7932]

Looks exactly the same on camera. I wish Elf would bring out more colors including a lighter shade, one that's a little more cool toned and of course some darker shades!

[@LoveFromAndreaaa]

I agree! Would love a cool toned one

[@emleigh1793]

Yes, please, on a lighter shade and cooler tone.

[@KimmieB.]

They will come out with more shades if the product is a big success, which I believe it’s definitely going to be or already is.

[@Lindsay1980]

I’m pale and even the lightest shade is super orange on me. Its disappointing because I did like the product.

[@RoseannaSassoSchottenfeld]

Yes I totally agree 100%. I recently did a dupes video on mature skin, with both these products, I’m 54 and to me, they are IDENTICAL. And honestly I think that Elf gives more “coverage” if you will. Even if there’s the tiniest most minuscule difference….that $30 difference really is a game changer. Thanks so much for your review. 😍

[@eleasy1976]

I love how you do so many drugstore videos! As a teenager I don’t want to spend a lot of money on makeup. I have found that most of the makeup I own is Elf…it’s just amazing

I haven't tried the elf under my foundation...but when I tried using it as a highlighter it totally broke up my foundation all the way to my sunscreen ...it was the absolute worse I've ever experienced..the Charlotte tilbury...was sitting on the skin and just added to the shine....it can't be worn over foundation in my situation....and I used it many times with different foundations and still it broke up..I also used it on the cheek more into the center of the face because that's where I wanted a natural shine...so that area is more noticeable if it breaks up....same as the nose...its less noticeable on the cheekbone I guess......I still have to try it mixed into my foundation and see how that works...gosh I wish the prices weren't so vastly different...thanks for bringing these for us...

Thanks for this comparison! I’ve been wondering how they really compared next to each other w/ & w/out foundation applied on top. I really love the CT but it’s sooooo expensive!

Thank you for this! I love this CT product but I get SO frustrated that the glass packaging doesn’t allow to get all the product out as there is zero flexibility in the wand or opening - nor does it pour out. What a waste!

I have used it as foundation a few times with a little concealer. I like it but find it gets a little shiny as the day goes on. That being said, I used it without a moisturizer today and it is much better. I use it Bye bye pores powder and that helps too.

Allie, just curious: Did you find that the next shade up from Fair (shade 1) for ELF to be less orange (Fair/light shade 2 vs. shade 1)? Or even shade 3 light/medium had less of an orange-y tinge?

[@Ghost084]

I really wish elf had even one more lighter shade with truly neutral undertones. Their CC cream is a great formula but it's still too dark on me even with the sheer formula and it oxidizes to a pretty orangey color. A lot of foundations do that on me so I doubt this elf product would work any better. It's just too dark and it wouldnt sheer out nicely on me

[@jennifermolina4396]

I bought the Shade 2 and use it as foundation at times. It’s so pretty. I just bought Shade 1 and can’t wait for it to get here!

I LOVE everything CT that I see but I'm broke as a joke so I have loved all your dupes for things CT. I have found everytime ELF does an obvious dupe, they really come through. The only difference I could tell was when used as highlight. The CT has more packed pearlescense to it. But as primer I couldn't tell a difference. I liked the CT better as highlight for you but for me I like it to be more subtle so I'm actually super ok with the ELF having a bit less punch.

E.L.F. Is actually great not only because of their cosmetics brushes etc., but because they use way less packaging and that significantly drops the prices down as well and their chemists are just as awesome as the ones that work for higher end names the public just don’t have to pay a higher price to for for their names . And same goes for skincare such as ; Oil of O’lay L’Oreal etc., their all fabulous skincare products your just not having to spend $68 for a night serum when you can pay $$25 or $30 for a night serum say by ROC that is just as good if not better than them higher end, I know I’ve been using skincare and cosmetics from both since I was 17 I am now 60 years old and I have both in my skincare I am also a cosmetologist for over 20 years 😀🤩
