[@midlifemom5829]

Thank u for actually listing the brand name of product next to link (instead of just product type).

[@jodigirl6610]

Yes, ma'am I appreciate that as well!

[@christinanicks1080]

You are stunning! I love seeing makeup tips and tricks from women who are my age! Thank you!

[@sureiseeyou]

My right side. I should have known from the lips as the right side looks more luxe. Great dupes!!

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Oh wow! I will be buying all 7 dupes. How fantastic that you figured these out! I can't wait till you discover more :), many thanks!

[@therealgr8typist]

I really love the Catrice concealer too. I have some pretty dark genetic circles under my eyes, fine lines and dry skin. It stays put well. I apply tapping it with my finger, then tapping with a damp beauty bud, then applying the tiniest amount of setting powder, and tapping with the damp beauty bud again. If you like Catrice, you may also really like Kosas, one of my other faves.

[@ggb1377]

Enjoyed! How about a brush dupe video? Have you found any dupes for pricey brushes?

[@StephanieMarie]

Thanks Gayle! Nice suggestion!

[@MyCleverHandle]

I've spent this past year or so getting back into makeup and caring about how I look, after too many years of chasing health problems. A good friend told me to spend good money on good foundation, skin care and especially SPF. So I do. All other items must be budget. I'm having fun with these color products, and I have Ocular Rosacea and sensitive skin which means I toss color makeup items and buy new ones regularly. Your information is so important to me! Please don't ever stop! And Thank You for your energy!

[@KG-cc6qx]

I could listen to your videos all day!! You re adorable and you explain everything so wonderfully!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you Kim! 😘

[@BK-rf2uu]

Thank you for all of your videos Stephanie. I love how you apply your makeup and the end result. Perfection! You’re the best! Thank you again. Be well.

[@ashleykeller9123]

Both sides look so, so similar! I honestly cannot tell which side is the dupe side! I never can tell on these videos when u ask which is which! Great job, as always.

[@prl7304]

My favorite dupe is Wet ‘n Wild photofocus translucent powder. I used Laura Mercier for years and I think this powder is even more finely milled than LM, keeps my skin shine free even longer and more flattering on my fine lines and wrinkles!

[@renaepatton7038]

I agree

[@parisinthe30sx]

I love the wet n wild powder, as well as the rcma translucent powder

[@pnevlud]

I use the laura Mercier secret brightening under my “mature eyes”. Can the wet and wild replace that?

[@LenaSheppard]

Yes! Love it when you do dupes. I'm going to try the elf primer soon. Thank you for being here !

[@briannagandersen]

Great video! I wish “summer was coming up” - I live in CO and it’s currently snowing! ⛄️ 🥰

[@dutchgirl7947]

Thank you Stephanie. I love dupe videos. The Revlon blush is so pretty!

[@nickyonstilts128]

Both powder blushes by Mario & Revlon remind me of my favorite shade, Lancome's "Aplum." It's a nice dark pink with some sparkle.

[@LotusLady9]

Thanks for sharing these great dupes Stephanie. I love CT Pinkgasm but you are right about it constantly being in/out of stock. I will check out the Wet n Wild alternative. The same with the Catrice concealer.💐

[@ericacarroll7948]

Just wanted to say your skin in your demo videos when you have no make up on is 💯 on 🔥you look fantastic!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@Joyce.671]

Great video Stephanie. Nice dupes for high end makeup tyfs

[@mogala3068]

When I was younger, I always used what I could afford. Charlotte Tilbury has never impressed me much. My daughter in law bought me one of her products. It was the Mini Miracle Wand. It had dried up within 10 days!! However, I DO LOVE ELF and of course Revlon has always been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Along with Cover Girl and Maybelline and of course L'Oreal products. I do like using higher end products if they are reliable, but as soon as I would get used to something, it gets discontinued. Revlon and Elf rarely if ever yank products. I just stick for what I like. PLUS---I refuse to spend money on new makeup that I am not familiar with. Great video!!

[@lastkiss9435]

Love this type of chatty video with loads of information. Love dupes. After going back through your videos, I think you look great in the mauvey pinks Stephanie. 💗

[@Chumpymunky]

I cave been using the wet n wild blush and bronzer sticks off and on for a few years. So easy. I love these videos !!

[@ashleys7413]

It would be nice to see your swatches up close. Love your videos!

[@aleidixon4226]

On camera I honestly can’t tell a difference with the elf vs Natasha demons eye shadow. Great dupe. Love these videos.

[@tedoymisojos]

The quality doesnt match. Its not a dupe. It should be called a lesser quality alternative and have that between brakets next to the product in the description box. By now i can only trust Emily Noel with dupes, because she actually finds identical or close dupes, not just lesser quality products that look similar.

[@aleidixon4226]

@@tedoymisojos for the price difference many people will happily take the slightly lesser quality that no one can tell a difference about. And I have both ND and elf.

[@lauraroman1464]

I’m so glad to see you feature Revlon’s Apricute blush! It’s my go to over all of my high end blushes. For my friends that have never felt comfortable wearing blush because they didn’t know how to apply it without it looking overwhelming, I recommend this and they love it.

[@nadiazanchetta1388]

Stephanie, Love dupe videos it's soo good 👍 I couldn't tell the difference with high-end and drugstore brands. Love your channel ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@ejbooks]

Great dupe video!!! Definitely trying the blush and lip gloss from Tarte. I was also amazed by the dupe for Glowgasma… need to try that as well. Thanks for sharing your finds with us. 🥰

[@meineliebefamilie8441]

Love to use only my fingers to blend consealer. 👍🏽 Want to try this Dior forever consealer 🤞🏼!

[@tammyeaton4791]

Those Revlon blushes ARE SO GOOD. I have Rosy Rendezvous and Tickled Pink and I love them both. I think Rosie has just an ever so slight sheen and the tickled pink is a Demi that. They’re both so flattering and plenty of pigment yet still blend well.

[@JMW969]

Love these dupes! Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@leneskov5184]

Love the Dior concealer - will have to try the Catrice dupe 😀

[@nina-xw6ku]

I bought the catrice and WOW I finally found a concealer......thank you so much

[@laurakenney100]

I really could not tell the difference at all between both sides of your face! Great dupes video. Amazing matches.

[@klafrance100]

I guessed right! However both sides look flawless and you're gorgeous 😍

[@cherylt5818]

I knew which side was high end only because of the eyeshadow! Can't wait to find the Wet and Wild blush, it is gorgeous!

[@tammyroy9042]

I’ve actually been reaching for my E.L.F. Cream & Sugar palette all week and remembering how much I loved it:) I couldn’t see any difference on your eyes lol That Wet n Wild blush looks so pretty! I’m tired of waiting for the CT so think I will give this a try! We’re so close here in Canada to lifting the mask mandate so hello lipsticks here I come 😉 and both the CT and Tarte options look gorgeous! Love your dupes Stephanie- thank you 🙏🥰 Xo 💕

[@andreavaughn854]

I just bought the Maybeline Lip Lifter gloss, in anticipation of mask mandates being lifted!

[@jodydiou]

Great video!! I knew about the dupe for CT Pinkgasm but I haven't picked it up yet!!! I looked at a smaller Walmart.

[@wendyraye]

I guessed wrong - good to know about the Catrice concealer - never heard of it but I’ve been really wanting to try the Dior - now I don’t have to!

[@SAHcheers]

@Stephanie Marie. I love your winged liner with the lashes. It’s so pretty. Do you have a video on that?

[@lindadee6603]

Hey Stephanie 😊 I really enjoy your dupes videos. Thanks for looking them out for us 😉😉😉

[@PocketSizedBern]

Hi! Do you have a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria lipstick? 😊😊😊

[@JeanieD]

I paused in the middle to order the Wet ‘n’ Wild blush from Ulta - it looked so pretty on you! 😊

[@physicaltech12]

That Wet 'n' Wild blush I have and love it😍, great find.

[@nickyonstilts128]

I have the Wet n Wild blush in the color "Floral Majority." It looks very natural.

[@hugvt]

I purchased the ND palette thinking it would be a good tone of colors for me and it was too dark/warm for me and I ended up returning it. I love the Elf bit size shadow.

[@vickipalmeri7649]

Love your videos. Was wondering if there are any "dupes" for the Bobbie Brown illuminating bronzer in Antigua? Ty.

[@sayuriisme9728]

I always appreciate a good dupes video☺️

[@qveenissac]

I always appreciate your dupes esp bc I know they're well tested and unique! Thanks Stephanie

[@CareyXO]

You got me hooked on the Tarte lip product. I have 3 and have 2 more on my list. 😆

[@ceciliebyberg8569]

Thank you for all these dupes and I loved your video! Love from a new subscriber from Norway ❤

[@addienieto9717]

I bought the Mini Nude palette for myself as a birthday gift this month & I used it for a wedding this weekend & I love it! I also got my Sephora birthday gift & I went with the Laura Mercier powder & the caviar stick is AMAZING I want to buy them all, but they’re expensive so I’ll have to pick up the Pixi ones thanks for the dupe/alternative option! 🤗

[@Alice-fr1ef]

I have all of the e.l.f. bite size palettes and I love them.

[@pamcooke61]

Hi! I’ve been using the pinkgasm dune from wet and wild for a long time. Have both and they are sooo similar you barely can tell the difference.

[@anyaignatyuk1986]

Thank you 👌 You look so young and beautiful without makeup ❤

I've been on the hunt for some sheer shadow sticks. I've seen them but don't recall the brands.. thoughts.. ? I thought they'd look beautiful for that makeup no makeup summer look😊 Actually that would be a great video to have ! Sheer summer no makeup beachy looks.. tarte comes to mind for that😉

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Stephanie, what about mascara? Do you have a drugstore mascara you recommend?

[@loribethbriscoe1357]

I love that concealer too! I have all the same problems as you.

[@kimnarveson5190]

I love your dupes videos! Thank you!

[@sandybowers5085]

I love my Revlon blush in Apercute!!! It’s definitely one of my go-to’s. Great to see its a dupe for a higher end product! I actually think I got it on Risa’s recommendation awhile ago. Great dupes here, Stephanie!!! Thanks so much for sharing❣️❣️❣️

[@robinwaibel6852]

I can't remember which beauty youtuber recently mentioned the Ulta Beauty Stay Cheeky Liquid blush as a dupe for the CT Glowgasm. I purchased it and have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It is not quite as glowy but does have some glow. Really pretty and without that messy applicator!

[@kelly82485]

Jessica Braun!

[@donjaknow8591]

Does it have sparkles? The Wet and Wild product does and I absolutely love the color but not the sparkle.

[@robinwaibel6852]

@@kelly82485 Yes!!!! I watch so many that I sometimes forget especially if it has been awhile.

[@robinwaibel6852]

@@donjaknow8591 No sparkles. It has a very subtle sheen/glow. But I guess what could be subtle to me, may be bright to someone else. Definitely no glitter or sparkles.

[@donjaknow8591]

@@robinwaibel6852 Thank you, I will give it a try!

[@BlushingAshley]

Another dupe that no one talks about for the Hydrogrip primer is the XX Revolution Hydra FiXX primer. It’s my absolute favorite replacement for Milk! Also, I really enjoy the NYX Wonder Stick in place of the KKW contour stick. I don’t care for the highlighting side but the contour side is so emollient and blends softly. The Milani Rose blushes are also a beautiful replacement for literally any powder blush.

[@kimberleetobyansen9822]

hi there, I always watch and enjoy your videos, I especially love the dupes, but had to mention, Ive had the wetnwild peach bums stick & it left gold glitter on my cheeks, just wondered if it happened to anyone else or was just me, thanks again for great video!!

[@lucyandstuff]

Such great dupes. Sephora used to have lip clicks that were like 10-12 dollars and were just like the tarte.

[@staceyanne1368]

great dupes. i think nyx bare with me concealer is a good dupe for UD naked concealer.

[@AC-wm8fi]

I never tire of your dupes videos, Stephanie! I have been looking for a blush dupe for Mac Gingerly. Have you ever come across anything that is at least similar? With inflation rising so rampantly, I just don’t have the disposable income for high-end make up anymore. I would happily welcome any suggestions anyone has for this blush. Thanks so much!

[@StephanieMarie]

I haven't but will keep an eye out. Thank you!

[@christinepatrick3987]

Love your videos! I frequently match with your concealer colors, like the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultrawear in 215. I was struggling with concealer shades and I contacted the company they recommended 032 Neutral Biscuit. Of course all the match quizzes I did said Warm Vanilla, I’m thinking Neutral Biscuit will be too olive for me! I got samples of Kosas and to my surprise 2.5 worked best under my eyes! Hoping you do your new concealer video soon!

[@jann3443]

Great dupes video. Did you see that Dior has a new corrector concealer? Looking forward to trying it!

[@tracytabor1975]

Can you possibly help me find a lip liner that won't bleed into the lines around my lips? I love your videos and I know you know what your talking about so, felt I'd just ask. Thank you!

[@noamc961]

I thought the right side was the high end because the blush looked so good and your cheek looked so smooth.

[@jacquelynwathen8676]

Thanks so much. Love these videos

[@michelleb5184]

The Catrice has been in my cart on Amazon for a while. Time to finally buy it if it gets your seal of approval 😊

[@jennifermolina4396]

I love the L'Oreal Lash Paradise mascara. It's a dupe for the Too Faced BTS mascara but I think it is so much better than the TF. It is one of my top mascaras of all time. I am sure I am not the only one....

[@candyce6233]

Makeup by Mario recently came out with the MoistureGlow Plumping Lip Serum and they are the exact same thing as the CT ones. And they’re only $22!! I have only one of them right now but I love it. I am definitely going to being checking out the Tarte ones when next time I get to Ulta. These are all great dupes. Ty

[@terrysmith5868]

Hi Stephanie- do you know of a tinted moisturizer like the Bareminerals Rescue Me that does not contain any coconut ingredient? I am very allergic. Even though the Rescue Me made my skin look amazing, it makes my skin break out terribly then it takes weeks to heal….uggg

[@julieo4580]

How do you keep from the elf bite sized from breaking? I have bought 3 or 4 and all of them broke in the first few days. I don’t throw my stuff around or juggle palettes for fun so I don’t know why they broke. I have other brands of small palettes that have never broke so it’s just the elf ones that do. 🤷‍♀️

[@kannn777]

I know pro MUA that use the elf pallets. I do wedding hair so I’m often side by side w MUA and I have seen those elf pallets many times!!!

[@noamc961]

I love the tarte lip glosses. Careful about leaving them in a car on a warm day. They melt.

[@kacie3289]

I’ve been searching my store for the new Elf primer; it looks so good!

[@kmousie]

I hope you find it. Ireally enjoy it!

[@luisaramirez9782]

Great video I couldn’t tell a difference on any of them..😳😳😳

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I like ELF No Budge Shadow Sticks. I haven’t tried their copper or metallic mocha shades which may be dupes for the discontinued caviar shade, but of the 4 colors I have, I can speak to the formula. Easy to blend, love the subtle shimmer (I haven’t tried any of the metallics which likely have a great deal of beam) and they set down with incredible wear time. Plus they are only $5.

[@christinavuong1662]

Have you tried the sephora melting click balm? I think it's more affordable than the Tarte. Same click stick applicator.

[@daynal9594]

Hi Stephanie! I always enjoy your dupe videos. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm not sure if you've mentioned this one before, but the W7 Hollywood Bronze and Glow is a spot on dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow. The W7 you can find on Amazon for around $6 and on their direct website for around $4 I believe. Compared to the CT that retails for around $80...it's a fantastic money saving dupe 💖

[@jaytay8637]

Can you please review that new mega spendy foundation applicator ?, sold with a hard case and looks like something questionable ! It retails for $59 here and I can't believe it's worth that !

[@sueholt4266]

[@harmoneypeters]

The exact dupe for the milk hydro grip is Hardcandy hydrating primer the elf is more sticky

[@jaytay8637]

I really like the 'two sides of the face' thing, it's so hard to remember the usual before and afters, I wish more people used this method on cosmetic blogs., we can really see the difference.

I have had Sunbum from wet and wild for years. It is my most favorite shade of blush ever but it has sparkles and I don't like that on my face. So, does the CT product have sparkles too? Looking for a sparkleless dupe for the Wet and Wild blush. 🤷

Mine is called Peach Bums and there are no sparkles or glitter particles. You can see on the swatch, and on my face, it just has a sheen. :)

I have some crepiness on my eyelids should I wear a primer underneath caviare sticks or the like or should I just go in with the stick itself. I do wear an eyelid cream as part of my skin care

[@StephanieMarie]

You should experiment to see what works best for you. If you find you crease a bit, a primer will be fine underneath. Sometimes when it's humid out, I wear a primer (UNset with powder) and just set the area that doesn't have the caviar stick on it after I'm finished applying. :)
