@@Only2TRU I haven't seen it sold for a very long time. I know Ulta doesn't carry the brand anymore. And I was seeing it at TJMaxx & Marshall's, so I think they might have gone under. Such a shame, it was a beautiful foundation!
Can you use the WET n Wild powder under the eyes? I have very dry undereyes with a few fine lines. The only powder I like is the pat McGrath powder but I desperately need a cheaper one😊
I too, use Mac Skin Refined Zone because of Mel. She is so missed. What a sweetheart she was. And her eyeshadow skills! My goodness! I don’t think I will ever be as talented as she was.
Me too! She taught me a lot.. she really touched millions of people by simply doing RUclips videos and sharing her love passion and talent for make up.
I cannot thank you enough for your videos! Being a mature woman myself finding the right foundation is frustrating.. I know I'm a medium neutral but I just can't find the perfect foundation
Melissa, have you ever thought about doing a clothing video??? Since 2019 I’ve lost 120lbs, 65 of that since last December. I am in desperate need of new clothes, especially shirts. Yours are always so cute. I know you get most of yours from Amazon. I would love to see a list of your top 10 tops!! I prefer to have a sleeve down to the elbow to hide my bat wings! 😂. I’ve gone from a sz 24 to a 14 in jeans and in tops from a 3x to an xl. I love your content and so happy you are back. I hope you are feeling better and all is well with your family. I too am recovering from a right total knee replacement on July 27th. So, I have plenty of time to shop!! 😂
Thanks for taking all the work out of picking out beauty products! I hate buying things that don't work, and I don't have the confidence to just pick things at random. Now, if you could set me on to a mascara that just darkens my lashes, doesn't run, and is good for sensitive skin, I'd be so happy!
I've been looking for a duplicate of an Avon color lipstick called bashful plum from the early 90s. Now I'm 59 and I haven't been wearing make up for quite a while. So I haven't found anything I liked color or price wise. The I found elf cosmetics a few years back and I've loved their foundation and concealer, as well as many of their skin care products and cosmetics. So this year they came out with their O lipsticks and their formula is so silky soft and not drying at all but they look very matte and they have 2 plum based colors that I just love. And you can't go wrong with the price.
👱🏻♀️ I thought the lipstick made you look really lovely.the colour really lit your face up. You should always ware it. I will be buying as soon as possible. .also the wet n wild highlights looked good on you. All the best Gina. From GB
Thank you so much, Melissa, for comparing these products and saving us money without sacrificing quality results. You look amazing, girl, and those dimples are to die for! 😊 XXOO ❤
I started using a puff for my concealer and OMG it looks so smooth! I haven’t gotten such a smooth application with a blender or brush! And it helps me get more coverage than I got with my fingers or a sponge without having to apply more! Now I gotta try the real techniques one!
I love your presentation of dupes! I’ve learned to look for them in a lot of products…. Thank you for all the work/time you put into making this excellent video! You’re one of my favorites! ⭐️🌟💫✨💥❤
I am almost 60 years old and starting Aesthetician classes tomorrow. I am only allowed to use the skincare and make-up I am issued while in class until the end of April 😢 I will still be watching all your videos ❤
Great video. I agree that Sephora balm-like lipstick is a great formula and I have several shades. I also like their foundation on my mature slightly dry skin, especially in the summer. FYI, I believe the Sephora Collection Smooth and Blur primer is a dupe for the Benefit Porefessional and half the price.
I fell in love with the Glow Recipe watermelon niacinimide but discovered that the Essence Hello Good Stuff is a good dupe. You look gorgeous! Good to see you!
Melissa: I love your videos. I learn so so much . Your dupes are the best ever and you are spot on when you choose the dupes. Thank you and please keep them coming. Appreciative from Texas!
Absolutely loved your video!!, I am 59 going on 35....lol and I appreciate the info about the primers,(I am currently using nyx's marshmellow primer),but will be trying others thanks to you! ,as well I was using a high-end foundation, and then I found L'Oreal infallible liquid,as well as their solid one,and am loving it! I still do like some highend makeup but the prices are really getting to be too much!! New subscriber here! Have a Beautiful day,and love your look today!
I am in my twenties and have combination skin. Unfortunately my skin shows a lot of texture during my period/bad days and tends to be dry, your videos save me! Thank you for everything and you look stunning!❤
Consider Skinn products. He just released a new Algae moisturizer. Also definitely consider the matching oil and or get the organic manuka honey oil and matching manuka face cream...your dryness problems will be over. I suggest shopping channel cos you can try it for 30 days. Hsn in u.s, tsc in Canada, was in Australia..will have to check plus Italy:) It's a clean skincare company out of U.S. View his products on youtube.
Okay.. I'm going to be rude and ask what have you done to your face...you look amazing!! Is it the hair color, What ever it is you look stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watch Morgan Turner here on RUclips… I love her and her videos. She recently did a tutorial using the Lawless primer and she was excited about it because she has dry skin. We literally saw how her foundation would lift off and not dry down. She went on to say that her foundation was lifting so badly she had to redo her base makeup.. I did buy that Milani primer because of my dry skin and you turned me onto that about six months ago. Thank you for that.
I bought the L’Oréal infallible pro glow per your suggestion and I’m blown away but how good it is! I really do think it’s a dupe for the Armani luminous foundation which is my all time fave. TYSM! Also the wet and wild pressed powder is amazing! Another product I learned about from you. Always like hearing your thoughts!
Great to see you Melissa! I love the Milani skin quench and they have a brightner primer that I love as well. I can't believe how expensive the La Mer foundation is...I do have the Sephora and really like it. Take care.💚
Hey there lady! Good to see you back. Hope that you're fine and nothing is wrong. Great video on all the dupes. (Don't know where to begin but most def. what to try the WnW Impossible Primer, Sephora Best Skin Ever foundation, Gwen Stefani Highlighter). Before I forget, where did you get that sapphire ring on your right middle finger?).
Hi Melissa, Very nice selection of dupes ! I like the variation on the spelling ! 🤣 I love lip glosses, and recently tried Sephora’s ‘GLOSSED’ lip gloss. I was really surprised at how long it lasts on. Most glosses don’t, but that’s to be expected. I would compare it to the longevity of City Lips, even thought it’s not a plumping gloss. I got the color #7 LOVER, a clear with pink pearls, it’s a good topper, or just a natural color for no makeup days. So many colors, to choose from, and only $12. I just bought another one to keep in my purse. Thanks for the Doops ! ☺️💜☺️🌸
Hi Melissa, what a pretty white top you are wearing and I love your jewelry always. Thank you for a great video showing wonderful dupes that we can all use. It is so good to see you again and I am in hopes you are feeling lots better. Your makeup is beautiful too and I would like to try the primer for sure and the highlighter. We love you too Melissa.🥰❤💗💕🌺🌺🌺🌸💐
It's SO GREAT to see you! And, I need to have some alternatives! I just have sooo much and usually more on the high-end side..Thank you my friend, for putting so much effort into your videos! Loved this! xoxo lori PS shared to Twitter! It needed to be! The only "dupe" I have is Maybelline Fit Me powder works as well as the ITs Bye Bye Pores powder
Hi Melissa! Thanks to your recommendation a few months ago, I use the Revlon Primer as a dupe for Hourglass. I like it very much. Great video, thanks for sharing. Have a great rest of your week :)
Hi Melissa !! Thanks for another dupe /alternative. I love these videos from you . Hope you are doing ok . Your blouse looks so pretty , hope you are doing ok take care love and hugs 🤗 ❤
Thank you! I have bee looking for something to blur my pores.I think I am going to try the Wet n Wild impossible. I am over 50 . So many to choices. I am confused!
I knew it was the Sephora Best Skin Every by the shape of the bottles. I, too, use 2-3 shades from it. I love the Best Skin Ever in shades 22.5N & 27P. I also love the Sephora lipsticks, too!
The active ingredient in La Mer is just sea kelp bioferment. It’s a very hydrating gel . You can buy a big container of it for $25. My guess would be adding a very small amount to any foundation would give you the same results.
A couple of months ago when Sephora had the 30% off on their products sale out of curiosity, I picked up a few things. As a make up snob, I did not own anything in the Sephora brand. When I go in the store, I walk right past the Sephora section. So due to the Sale I decided to buy a couple of things because they were very expensive… I bought two of those lipstick balms that you featuring here.. OMG Alyssa, they are beautiful. Feel so so good on the lips I went back online and picked up 2 more colors because I really love them. I think I paid nine dollars each. I also tried the lip liners… Wonderful, creamy, highly pigmented, and just glides on beautifully. I was so pleasantly surprised. Often I fill in my lips with a Sephora Liner and then put the balm lipstick on top and it’s so pretty as well as the lip liners have very nice staying power❤
Nyx has a primer that is clear, feels like a serum. It is the best! I had the most compliments on my skin, my mom thought I had something serious done other than get a new products.
@@MrsMelissaM it’s called NYX shine killer, try it, if it’s still available. I love it and I really also need it for my mom that’s 80. I do her makeup bc she needs rotator cuff replacement and shoulder replacement
Hey Melissa! It’s good to see you. I hope you’re feeling well. Thanks for the alternatives. I’ve stopped wearing foundation. I’m using DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen with a little Mac skin tint in a few areas on my face. I think my skin is much happier and so is my wallet! Love ya!
Just popping in to say you're really reminding me of Debbie Reynolds here.... Maybe it's the face shape & that cute pony tail, but you're looking beautiful 😊
Hi Melissa your right I look forward to your use this not that videos. It's been a while since you did a strictly foundation video for varying skin textures, sheens, coverage -- any chance you will do one again? I learned so much and still rely on that video however, its a bit dated....if you do I think many of us would be grateful.... any how another segment well done.
Beauty blender was one of the first to bring out those powder fluff things... Bailey Sarian put me onto it back in 2020 and in my opinion it's the best of the best.....although there truly is some nice dupes 😍😍
You are so wonderful to bring us such quality dupes. Makes shopping in retirement easier. I have a favor to ask...I love your quotes but I cannot read them any more because the thumbnails at the end of the videos are covering them up. If I promise cross my heart and hope to die and wish upon a falling star to watch all of the video would you consider putting them back to the beginning. Thanks ahead for thinking about my silly request. p.s. love the Doops spelling--clever.
Revolution Pro Miracle cream. Im no expert but Charlotte Tylbery magic. To me much better. Same idea, but i sold my last purchase of CT this is so much cheaper. XxX❤❤❤🐶🐾🐾
Thank you for talking about non-silicone products! My adult daughter breaks out from silicones. When I find something I like and want to share with her, unfortunately it usually contains silicones somewhere. And most non-silicone brands are out of her budget. I’m tickled I can finally recommend something to her! I appreciate you sooo much!

I just remembered a foundation u used to love !! It was called Zoeva. Do u still use it or have u moved on ? And do they even still sell it?

@@Star-hk6gc Excuse me? I was replying about the Mac primer she showed.
She certainly was a treasure. I miss her beautiful bright light! 🌞 She was beyond talented.
Yup Mel is the reason I bought this, sure do miss her talent with makeup application and her shadow looks were amazing. ❤
Me too! She taught me a lot.. she really touched millions of people by simply doing RUclips videos and sharing her love passion and talent for make up.

Good for you! She does the blurbs with her outfit at the beginning of most of her videos. Have you seen those?
@@jessabeauty917 oh yes! I love them! It would be awesome if she could do a favorites video. With links in the description. One stop shop.
I really want to do one soon Jodie. I just wish they got more views. Congratulations on that amazing weightloss! You go girl!
The wet and wild primer is so good and it would be good for oily and dry skin I also love the Mac primer
I'm so happy you already love them both! They're awesome. You're so right!
Thanks for taking all the work out of picking out beauty products! I hate buying things that don't work, and I don't have the confidence to just pick things at random. Now, if you could set me on to a mascara that just darkens my lashes, doesn't run, and is good for sensitive skin, I'd be so happy!
Oh wow! Now that's a tall order for Mascara! Especially with se n sensitive eye. I would maybe look at Neutrogena's. They are hypoallergenic

I discovered that just a primer and maybe some powder do amazing things to my pores/spots- highly recommend to all!

Melissa, thank you for this informative video of dupes. It’s always helpful to save some $$$
Glad it was helpful Debbie!
Great selection of alternatives Melissa. So many times drugstore does it way better than high end! Good to see you again friend! 💖
I totally agree Mel! Great to have you here always!
Your makeup looked beautiful in this video. It always does but especially so here. Thanks for all the tips. 😊

Changed my mind Revlon for my large pores!
I fell in love with the Glow Recipe watermelon niacinimide but discovered that the Essence Hello Good Stuff is a good dupe. You look gorgeous! Good to see you!
I did the same. I fell in love with those then bought the essence.

I watch Morgan Turner here on RUclips… I love her and her videos.
She recently did a tutorial using the Lawless primer and she was excited about it because she has dry skin.

She went on to say that her foundation was lifting so badly she had to redo her base makeup.. I did buy that Milani primer because of my dry skin and you turned me onto that about six months ago. Thank you for that.
Oh wow Janice! Thanks so much for the heads up. That's great to know about her video. And I'm so happy you like the Milani.

It truly is a high end foundation in a little plastic tube!! I'm so happy you liked it!

Great to see you Melissa! I love the Milani skin quench and they have a brightner primer that I love as well. I can't believe how expensive the La Mer foundation is...I do have the Sephora and really like it. Take care.💚
I'll have to look up the brightener Cindy. Thanks so much!

Love your dupes and recommendations for a more mature lady❤
Such energy. Wonderful. Iam exhausted 😂
🙃😁🤪
I think that the Joah mascara (pink tube) is a dupe for Superhero mascara. Would you consider doing a full face of Joah makeup?
I will definitely check it out. Thank you Ellen
Awesome to see u again love your dupes xx
Glad you like them!
Hi Melissa! I can see the difference in highlighters. The Physicans Formula is much prettier. ❤
Lol...I like tge warmth of it a tiny bit better too.
Hi, Catrice do a gel lipstick/balm that has a very similar finish to the Mac limited edition.
Hi Melissa! Thanks to your recommendation a few months ago, I use the Revlon Primer as a dupe for Hourglass. I like it very much. Great video, thanks for sharing. Have a great rest of your week :)

Thank you! I have bee looking for something to blur my pores.I think I am going to try the Wet n Wild impossible. I am over 50 . So many to choices. I am confused!
I knew it was the Sephora Best Skin Every by the shape of the bottles. I, too, use 2-3 shades from it. I love the Best Skin Ever in shades 22.5N & 27P. I also love the Sephora lipsticks, too!
I'm so glad you already love it Janet! Yay!
Love your videos!*Sometimes I find it hard to see colour swatches though as your light is very bright 😬
The La Mer Foundation - $135! 😱 When I snap my fingers it better be on my face all on its own and look FLAWLESS ALL.DAY.LONG for that price!!!! 😅
Lol...I looked it up & it's gone up to $145! Insane
@@MrsMelissaM that is so insane! It’s unbelievable the price of some things! 🤯
The active ingredient in La Mer is just sea kelp bioferment. It’s a very hydrating gel . You can buy a big container of it for $25. My guess would be adding a very small amount to any foundation would give you the same results.
hard candy just came out with their insta pout lip melts. The formula is identical to the tart maracuja juicy plump.
Awesome! I'll be on the lookout. Thank you Carrie
I’m so dry and I love the glow recipe. That powder puff looks great!I wish the sephora foundation worked for me too masky.
Oh no! That's not good!
Try new wet n wild shine lipsticks it's like 5 dollars loved and the physician formula I loved make up butteer
Hi Melissa, Great vid!! May I ask what lip color your are wearing here? Thank you!! So pretty!!
A couple of months ago when Sephora had the 30% off on their products sale out of curiosity, I picked up a few things.
As a make up snob, I did not own anything in the Sephora brand. When I go in the store, I walk right past the Sephora section.
So due to the Sale I decided to buy a couple of things because they were very expensive…
I bought two of those lipstick balms that you featuring here.. OMG Alyssa, they are beautiful. Feel so so good on the lips I went back online and picked up 2 more colors because I really love them. I think I paid nine dollars each.
I also tried the lip liners…
Wonderful, creamy, highly pigmented, and just glides on beautifully. I was so pleasantly surprised.
Often I fill in my lips with a Sephora Liner and then put the balm lipstick on top and it’s so pretty as well as the lip liners have very nice staying power❤
I'm so glad you're liking the Sephora products. They are made by Louis Vuitton, who also makes Benefit & Make Up For Ever.
I use skin quench by Milani and love it!
Thank you, Melissa!
You are so welcome!
Nyx has a primer that is clear, feels like a serum. It is the best! I had the most compliments on my skin, my mom thought I had something serious done other than get a new products.
If you know the name please share. Thank you!
Sounds great Ashley. I think that one is the Plump right back?
I'll link it for you & I think it's called Nyx Plump Right Back

@@MrsMelissaM it’s called NYX shine killer, try it, if it’s still available. I love it and I really also need it for my mom that’s 80. I do her makeup bc she needs rotator cuff replacement and shoulder replacement
@@MrsMelissaM you are awesome. Thank you
Wonderful video. Love learning 🎵🎶❤️
I love your earrings!!!! I went right on to Amazon and ordered from your link!!!
Oh I think you'll be really pleased with them.
& thanks so much for using my link too!
I appreciate you doing these kinds of videos. I love the top and earrings you're wearing!
Glad you like them Debbie. They are linked in the description box!
🎉🎉🎉so happy I am first to watch you love it love your channel ❤
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Hey Melissa! It’s good to see you. I hope you’re feeling well. Thanks for the alternatives. I’ve stopped wearing foundation. I’m using DRMTLGY tinted sunscreen with a little Mac skin tint in a few areas on my face. I think my skin is much happier and so is my wallet! Love ya!
Thanks Melissa love dupes ❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing these. The highlighter is so pretty.
I appreciate you so much !
Glad you like it Lena!
It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about! I didn’t know what that was!
It's become a behind the scenes issue to say "dupes". So I renamed it! Yay!
Just popping in to say you're really reminding me of Debbie Reynolds here.... Maybe it's the face shape & that cute pony tail, but you're looking beautiful 😊
Oh thank you Cherise!
It wouldn’t surprise me if the Gwen Stefani highlighter is actually physicians formula. They’ve been doing that type of product for decades
Totally agree Nicole. I'm not sure who owns Physicians Formula though.
Thanks Melissa. Love these videos.
You are so welcome!
Fantastic video, once again! You look gorgeous!
Hi Melissa your right I look forward to your use this not that videos. It's been a while since you did a strictly foundation video for varying skin textures, sheens, coverage -- any chance you will do one again? I learned so much and still rely on that video however, its a bit dated....if you do I think many of us would be grateful.... any how another segment well done.
Hi Ellie. I can definitely put one on the schedule. I just pulled all my foundations out & need to go through them!
Love the dupe video’s!❤
Yay! So happy to hear that Linda!
Beauty blender was one of the first to bring out those powder fluff things... Bailey Sarian put me onto it back in 2020 and in my opinion it's the best of the best.....although there truly is some nice dupes 😍😍
That's when I found it too! It's just so very handy!!
@@MrsMelissaM super handy!!
Such a valuable video Melissa!
I'm so happy you liked it Stephanie! 😊
You are so wonderful to bring us such quality dupes. Makes shopping in retirement easier. I have a favor to ask...I love your quotes but I cannot read them any more because the thumbnails at the end of the videos are covering them up. If I promise cross my heart and hope to die and wish upon a falling star to watch all of the video would you consider putting them back to the beginning. Thanks ahead for thinking about my silly request. p.s. love the Doops spelling--clever.
I'll definitely pay better attention to where the thumbnails are put so that you can see the quotes. Sorry about that!
I have normal skin but oily in T-zone(or sweaty lol) and always have polka dot pores on my nose!! Help!! Any primer you’d recommend???
Revolution Pro Miracle cream. Im no expert but Charlotte Tylbery magic. To me much better. Same idea, but i sold my last purchase of CT this is so much cheaper. XxX❤❤❤🐶🐾🐾
Great video!
Thank you! I’ve loaded my basket on Amazon again ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Great recommendations!
Glad you like them!
Mrs. M...You look gorgeous in this video! 💖✨🥰
Oh thank you Kim! So kind of you!
Hey Melissa, great video! What are you using now for hair thinning and fall out?
Hey sweetie. Here's my latest video on it.
ruclips.net/video/RgxMViTzki0/видео.htmlsi=3YWQq1oce86OvV9O
Lots of great recommendations
Thanks Mrs 😊😊💟💟💟💟
I love your beautiful face, and am so happy that you're well! Hope your air quality is okay. 😘💗
I don’t have the La Mer, but the Sephora was horrible on my dry/dehydrated skin.
Oh no! That's not good!
Thank you for talking about non-silicone products! My adult daughter breaks out from silicones. When I find something I like and want to share with her, unfortunately it usually contains silicones somewhere. And most non-silicone brands are out of her budget. I’m tickled I can finally recommend something to her! I appreciate you sooo much!
That's awesome! Great job mom!
I feel like the new Elf loose powder is very similar to Hourglass veil loose powder. Do you have those to try? I would like your opinion on that.
They are very close in texture Pamela. I think the Elf has a tiny lighting effect. Both are really pretty.
like the best skin ever = you look great ,glad to see you
Thanks sweet Marlene!
Thanks for a great video!
My pleasure Sharla!
