You know Emily you are probably one of the best if not THE best beauty guru on youtube. There is NOBODY I have seen even close to you! You find amazing super cheap products while still reviewing high end. Such a great mix, and these dupe videos are just incredible. Thank you for your time and effort! so amazing. It is also nice to hear a older voice of someone experiences and with no bias instead of just "OMG I LOVE THIS!" You go into great detail and high standards. Love it. You are INCREDIBLE and deserve way m ore subscribers than some other beauty gurus (as mean as that is I know).
You set an statement with every video... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS 4 YEARS BACK. You are the best Emily. And It's still super useful! I can't believe...
you are very kind-- i am more than happy to help & am grateful for the wonderful people I've met through making these videos!! Thanks to you and everyone who's been so supportive! :)
good point-- since highlights are also worn so sheer, a person's individual skintone might also impact how it comes off. I should've probably mentioned that! :) thanks for watching!
I'm going back through some of your older videos because I absolutely love you and all of these dupes but I just wanted to say OMG I am blown away by how beautiful this look is on you!!!
Really appreciate when you do these "dupes" videos. You save us so much money when you take the time to do these. All of us have spent a fortune trying to "save" money looking for a drug store alternative to some high end products. Your videos are very informative and helpful, thanks for taking the time to do them and being so honest about the products. It's great!
one of the most natural highlights I have is Girl Meets Pearl by benefit, I only have the sample but its really nice because you only need a little bit, and it is the MOST subtle highlight ever. Even when light hits it, you wouldn't know someone was wearing it. It has this soft natural glow thats really great for summer.
I love when you do videos like this! You put so much hard work into them but I also can tell that you LOVE when you do something like this AND that you put tons of love into it as well. I swear that when I watch your videos that it's almost like watching a friend that I have had for years! That is how that I can tell that you have a kind heart and that you REALLY do want to help people! Thank you for your time, hard work, and love! I have been sick from a treatment today and this made me smile!
I love your dupe videos Emily! I'm in college so drugstore makeup is all I can afford. Watching your videos is so helpful so I know I'm not wasting what little money I can spend on makeup. I have learned so much from watching your videos, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for showing us makeup lovers out here the dups for the high end makeup. I buy some high end makeup but if I can find something that looks almost the same with 1/2 the price that's my kind of makeup shopping. So just wanted to thank you for taking the time out for us. Love watching you and I love you also cause your so honest about products. Hope you have a fabulous day.💄💄💄
I love your dupe vids because it shows you dont need to spend a lot of money buying those highend hyped up brands but can still get the same look with something more affordable
I just have to say, I really appreciate you. I love to watch RUclips videos on makeup and hair to relax and unwind from a long stressful day and you have so much talent for what you do and I love you're not a brad snob that makes me feel like crap for only being able to afford drug store makeup. I hope you have a fantastic holiday season and a great 2013!!!
Hi, Emily :) I'm in love with your channel, it's so complete and informative. I wanted to ask you if you could review makeup brands like Essence, Catrice and Kryolan; this are german brands. I'm sure you've heard of them. It would be great. Thank you in advance and have a great week ;)
wow, i own several of the drugstore dupes and didn't realize they are so close to high-end ones. i especially enjoy the Hard Candy bronzer in Tiki- it's a super natural shimmer and i use it as an eyeshadow too. thanks for this great video!
Loving your new hair trim, its beautiful! Will you do a little DIY on organizing your makeup? I've recently gotten into buying makeup and it is everywhere. Your little pink room always looks so straightened.
So perfect how you found a dupe for high beam in 3 different forms for us to choose our preference. Not lying, not kissing up, i'm dead serious. IT'S AMAZING! And so thoughtful. Best above-and-beyond guru!
there are a lot of dupes videos on YT, but I really think you do the best ones! I mean the ones products you always show are so similiar that I can not think about purchasing the high end products, because it just seems so stupid. Especially with this video! Really looking forward your next dupes video. Keep doing them girl! you rock!!!
I rarely comment on youtube but I LOVE YOU!!! You are so straight to the point, you give loads of great information and I have learned so much from you from just a couple of videos. New subscriber here! You're definitely my new favourite beauty guru!
I have the Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana and it's so light and has so little shimmer, I use it as a setting powder and all over face powder. For me, it def does NOT work as a highlighter, but maybe I'm not laying it on thick enough. Maybe I need to try it with a denser brush or even apply it with a wedge sponge or something... I'll try.
I believe in the Makeup Dupes playlist on her channel, she has a video where she compared the MAC Studio Fix Powder with the Milani Multitasker and said that they are both very similar in texture and coverage. A couple of reccomendations I have would be Loreal True match (non-flakey, good coverage, very wide shade range) and Covergirl Clean (little less coverage, not as wide of shade range, but different formulas for different skin types).
I just bought some great drugstore highlighters today. Hard candy's new product called sheer glow all the way it's made with 24 karat gold. They make a few colors, one with a peachy undertone, another with a gold undertone, one with a pink undertone ( which is the one I got called blushing babe) n also a bronzer one. It's a liquid and you get 2.7 ozs for 8$!!! I also purchased one from fergies brand from wet n wild. It's a baked powder illuminator called champagne rose also had a pinky undertone. They too make a few other options in that brand n it was only 6$. They are also great dupes for the benefit ones.The last item I purchased today is my favorite eyeshadow from cover girl in the color champagne for 4$. I also use it as a highlighter n it's simply gorgeous. It's a great dupe for becca's shimmering skin perfecter pressed powder in moonstone!!
Omg Emily Noel I was just browsing through highlights and this one came up, it’s from 2012! You are the trailblazer of all makeup gurus. You’ve always been pretty and didn’t age at all!
You look gorgeous in this video! Your hair looks so soft and effortless and your eye makeup is flawless! I also greatly appreciated this video. I always feel a little ridiculous splurging on a highlight because I use do little of it. Thanks so much!
Hard Candy Moon Glow is a more subtle dupe of the Balm Mary-Lou Manizer and Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight. The formula is a transparent powder infused with a fine creamy gold shimmer. You can use it to set your makeup while giving your face and skin a soft focused golden highlight.The golden shimmer is very subtle so you aren’t left looking like a disco ball. If u want to use it as a highlighter just apply a lil more on the areas u want to highlight.I also have Hard Candy in Tiki
My absolute FAVORITE highlighter right now is ELF facial whip in Lilac Petal (ONE DOLLAR!). It's freakin incredible. You only need a little, it blends and looks natural. It's a dupe for the Benefit highlighter everyone loves. A PERFECT dupe. And I just can't get over the price. ELF is amazing.
How can ppl dislike this video??! it's so obvious she put so much effor in finding dupe matches and just look at the way she presents them with such eloquence!
I just found your channel and I was happily surprised to find that every one of your videos that I watch is very helpful & smoothly explained, not to mention really good video/sound quality. Ya gotta be honest it's hard to watch a really fuzzy video. And I'm so happy that you compare the drugstore because as a college student I don't buy everything high end (not that it is really necessary sometimes anyways as you prove here). Thanks!
i am obsessed with highlighters, i have a drawer full of powders & creams. i have some of the ones you have and now i want to try the others you showed. thanks for doing the work for us. i have 2 from UD called moonshine and wicker that i love. moonshine has an irridescent glow to it, so beautiful. also, i got one in vegas from a friend but ive never seen it in stores here in my town, its revlon colorstay mineral finishing powder (brighten 010). it is also like a powder high beam, very pretty.
this hair and makeup is so pretty! i love how your makeup is a subtle purple look which i find difficult to achieve. if you have the time, a tutorial would be great :) love your tutorials em!! thanks!
Thank you, Emily, so much for your hard work. Again, I took good notes for future shopping. I hope I can understand them later. It's all so obvious while watching your videos and not so while in stores looking at all the choices/changes in products. Don't know how you do it!
I'm a big fan too. I've watched alot of beauty vidz to crossover as graceful as possible from young adult make-up habits to current mature skin needs. I appreciate your "realness" above all. btw... your hands are so healthy looking. Aside from youth, you must seriously hydrate because your skin is so lovely. You're a joy. Keep up the wonderful care you send out to gals like me.
I have oily skin and I hate spending a lot of money on highlighters when I know I won't use them very often. This video was fantastic! Very helpful. Thank you so much for all of the work and research that went into finding these dupes. I'm a huge fan of your videos :)
the balm mary-lou-manizer & MAC soft & gentle are my ultimate wish things & you get dupes of both of them which is AWESOME! Thank you very much Emily!! :D
I sometimes use Benefit's Perfect 10 as an eyeshadow duo, and I've found that Covergirls' single eyeshadow in Mink (or Minx?) is a great dupe for the bronze colour in the 10 :)
Emily, you ROCK! I love how you embrace beauty on a budget for us gals that aren't interested in spending a lot of money on makeup. Also, you have such a sweet and fun personality. You are my favorite guru! Many thanks!
omg i have the physicians formula one and i thought it was a blush and it was not pigmented enough for my skin as a blush(so i thought) but i never thought it works as a highlighter!!! so excited to use it as a highlighter from now on!!!
I have both the Mac Soft and Gentle and the Physicians formula shimmer strips and I never would have thought of them as dupes! But they for sure are. I love your dupe videos you're so good at finding dupes! :)
I am so excited!!!!! My benefit sunbeam was running out and I stopped using it everyday to save it for special occasions. Now, I can use it up, and try it's dupe! yay!
Was gonna say too, Sleek has a nice liquid illuminator called Glisten Me they sell from their website for $8.00. Don't know what it's a dupe for but I use it and have fair skin and it seems to work well. I like mixing it in with my foundation and tinted moisturizer. Very subtle and good quality!
I really enjoy your videos. You have a really great conversational speaking voice that makes it seem really casual and cool. You also are very educated in all of the products and such. It's a pleasure. I'm glad I subscribed!
Thanks, I'm going to pick up the wet n wild one. Hard candy rocks, the doll face and glamazon bronze are even better values than the tube. Can't wait to see the bronzed vid!
Agreed. A lot of Hard Candy products have mineral oil in them. Not sure about e.l.f. I understand that they're cheaper and not everyone can afford products like The Balm (I'm obsessed with Mary LouManizer), but Hard Candy products aren't THAT cheap. I guess I'm okay with using the e.l.f. products more just because they are $1-3. But some places Hard Candy stuff is as much as $10. Mineral oil is refined petroleum and can make you break out, ultimately costing you more money on treatment products.
I love your videos! You deserve more hype here on youtube, I love how you always upload and how kind you are while giving us videos, keep doing your thing ❤
You should do this kind of video for the Naked Palette 2 for drugstore dupes. It would be perfect! I love your videos too. My home-coming dance is coming up, and those neutral eyeshadows in the Naked 2 palette would look very pretty with my dress.
I randomly bumped into this video and i'm so glad i did! i've been trying to look for a cheaper highlight because i've been hesitant to spend so much on the benefit sun beam. THANK YOUUU
I just went to Walmart to go pick up the Hot Flash Fox in a Box Hard Candy blush but picked up the Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana bronzer and it is sooooooooo pretty!!! you guys NEED to pick this up!! and on it was a $1 off instant coupon that you have to remind your cashier to count! it's so cheap, huge, and great quality!
Came across this video and I must say your recommended dupes are fab!! Great job! I can tell you worked really hard on giving us accurate alternatives/dupes. Thanks!
I wish I could see a makeup brush dupe. Brushes are the one product that is sooooo expensive and even the gest product doesn't go on as well without the right applicator.
Thanks for this video Emily! I've been wanting a drugstore highlighter but wasn't too sure what to get. I watched this video before heading out to the drugstore to get some ideas. A lot of the products mentioned were tampered with unfortunately. I was able to find the wet n wild bronzer in reserve your cabana, & I'm so happy I purchased it! It's gorgeous! It's very subtle, but still makes a difference. I love it :)
You know Emily you are probably one of the best if not THE best beauty guru on youtube. There is NOBODY I have seen even close to you! You find amazing super cheap products while still reviewing high end. Such a great mix, and these dupe videos are just incredible. Thank you for your time and effort! so amazing.

You are INCREDIBLE and deserve way m ore subscribers than some other beauty gurus (as mean as that is I know).
Would like to see an updated video, maybe some of the Becca highlights
+Marlene Perez She should do one. I just know that Becca's Champagne Pop dupe is a baked eyeshadow called Enchanted by elf.
+Marlene Perez also heard of "hollywood bd." by wet n wild, and "wisp" by colourpop!
Awww...... here in 2017 looking at baby face Emily talking about highlight before the world really cared about highlight. Love it .
you are so professional and put together. and you have so much great information!
Bow to the queen of dupes!
You look AMAZING here
You set an statement with every video... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS 4 YEARS BACK. You are the best Emily. And It's still super useful! I can't believe...

you are very kind-- i am more than happy to help & am grateful for the wonderful people I've met through making these videos!! Thanks to you and everyone who's been so supportive! :)
u always do the BEST dupes! I can't seem to say that enough.
good point-- since highlights are also worn so sheer, a person's individual skintone might also impact how it comes off. I should've probably mentioned that! :) thanks for watching!
I think you should do an updated dupes video with face products!!
I'm going back through some of your older videos because I absolutely love you and all of these dupes but I just wanted to say OMG I am blown away by how beautiful this look is on you!!!
an update would be great

Is tiki a dupe for MAC Soft and Gentle?
+Dream0908 yes

I've been searching high and low for good drugstore dupes since I'm a college student on a budget. Thanks Emily!
The hard candy baked bronzers, when used with a wet sponge are good dupes for MAC minerialized skin finishes too!
Wow. The top, hair, makeup........so so pretty and very spring like. You look amazing!!!!
Well, the N°7 High Light was created by Lisa Eldridge.. no wonder why is AMAZING!
My absolute FAVORITE highlighter right now is ELF facial whip in Lilac Petal (ONE DOLLAR!). It's freakin incredible. You only need a little, it blends and looks natural. It's a dupe for the Benefit highlighter everyone loves. A PERFECT dupe. And I just can't get over the price. ELF is amazing.
I can't get over how good your reviews are they're amazing! it's like you're a makeup scientist!
I use that wet n wild highlight all the time and I love it! it's subtle yet just adds that extra something.
How can ppl dislike this video??! it's so obvious she put so much effor in finding dupe matches and just look at the way she presents them with such eloquence!
i'd look into the Boots No. 7 High Lights- you can really sheer it out so it won't look to intense
I just found your channel and I was happily surprised to find that every one of your videos that I watch is very helpful & smoothly explained, not to mention really good video/sound quality. Ya gotta be honest it's hard to watch a really fuzzy video.

You look amazing in this video! I would love to hear how you've styled your hair and even a tutorial on this look
Thank you, Emily, so much for your hard work. Again, I took good notes for future shopping. I hope I can understand them later. It's all so obvious while watching your videos and not so while in stores looking at all the choices/changes in products. Don't know how you do it!

I sometimes use Benefit's Perfect 10 as an eyeshadow duo, and I've found that Covergirls' single eyeshadow in Mink (or Minx?) is a great dupe for the bronze colour in the 10 :)
You have really beautiful makeup today! The lilac makeup really suits you!!
I love your tutorials, reviews, hauls, shopping list ideas, and favorites, but your dupes videos are by far my favorites : )
Emily, you ROCK! I love how you embrace beauty on a budget for us gals that aren't interested in spending a lot of money on makeup. Also, you have such a sweet and fun personality. You are my favorite guru! Many thanks!

that's a good point! usually it's like it's some form of bronzer. I expect that they'll start making more in the near future! :)
You deserve to be the most well-known guru on RUclips. ALL of your videos are so informative and fun to watch! :)
Emily does the best product videos/reviews in RUclips.
I am so excited!!!!! My benefit sunbeam was running out and I stopped using it everyday to save it for special occasions. Now, I can use it up, and try it's dupe! yay!

I just went to Walmart to go pick up the Hot Flash Fox in a Box Hard Candy blush but picked up the Wet n Wild Reserve Your Cabana bronzer and it is sooooooooo pretty!!! you guys NEED to pick this up!! and on it was a $1 off instant coupon that you have to remind your cashier to count! it's so cheap, huge, and great quality!
Came across this video and I must say your recommended dupes are fab!! Great job! I can tell you worked really hard on giving us accurate alternatives/dupes. Thanks!
girl you looked extremely gorgeous in this vid. you always slay but this video just stands out to me!!!
I wish I could see a makeup brush dupe. Brushes are the one product that is sooooo expensive and even the gest product doesn't go on as well without the right applicator.
I picked up Reserve Your Cabana and love it. I am going to look for the dupes for High Beam. Thank you for doing these dupe videos.
you find THE BEST dupes they are always so perfect! the best dupe finder on youtube!
Thanks for this video Emily! I've been wanting a drugstore highlighter but wasn't too sure what to get. I watched this video before heading out to the drugstore to get some ideas. A lot of the products mentioned were tampered with unfortunately. I was able to find the wet n wild bronzer in reserve your cabana, & I'm so happy I purchased it! It's gorgeous! It's very subtle, but still makes a difference. I love it :)
You have the best dupe videos, Emily. Thanks for all your hard work!
Elf baked blush in pinktastic is an amazing highlighter!!!!
