I appreciate that you differentiate between alternatives and actual dupes. I think many creators are too quick to call products a dupe of something else.
Loved that you added a scale, because I agree that the word "dupe" is being used a little too liberally nowadays. It should include how a product looks on the face, wear time, etc.
The drugstore and affordable brands need more credit. Not everything needs to be a dupe. Sometimes formulas (like the NYX concealer) are great on their own and are innovative for a low price point. We don't need to attach "dupe" labels to everything that performs well under $20.
@@JillyDreadful They really are. I'm 47 but I just started watching RUclips makeup videos in 2020 & got so lucky to find both Jen & Kelly. They are both honest & sweet. Appreciate them 💕
Please, please do more videos like this. Love it! You pick the best products to compare. They are current/ relevant. Spot on!! Keep sharing this kind of content/comparison. Always look forward to your videos to start my mornings. Thank you ❤
I’m silent viewer and only comment when I feel the need to. But just wanted to stop by and say that I LOVE this style of video! I hope we get more of these. You’re one of the few RUclipsrs that I trust when it comes to product reviews and recommendations. So thank you for making this video!
I feel like we get really lucky with CF brands’ dupes and alternatives! Especially when it comes to duping non-CF brands. Even really niche products, I feel we always get a good alternative! Like recently I discovered Peach Slices has a great dupe for the Dr Jaart redness color corrector (which I had never tried because it wasn’t CF, but I really wanted to find a good alt for). It’s great to see more CF products for more specific products that may not have the same mass appeal as others, but still treat specific conditions (like rosacea).
Are you planning to try the new Tarte dupe for the CT blush/highlight wands? Feel like it's not even a 'dupe' because the price range is so similar haha but I guess you do save a bit with the Tarte
The essence primer and elf sunscreen are the most notable for me from this video. I wear sunscreen everyday, and I have to put a hydrating primer before makeup or else my skin looks too dry. Definitely looking into both of those.
I don’t think the Elf sunscreen is a dupe for the Glow Screen! The finish is similar but the Elf one is much drier and it has that terrible sunscreen scent. I use the Glow Screen every day and it’s super moisturizing and has such a beautiful finish.
Welcome!!! We have great creator here! She gives us all the goods!!! Except for her hair routine! I'm trying my best to get it from her tho!!! You will love Kelly! Takes her job seriously!!!
Thank you for saying the Becca under eye corrector and the flower one not being dupes! I get so angry when people say they are lol they're nothing alike in formula! The FB one is wayyyy to dry for my dry under eye! I had to return mine. I absolutely love the Becca one tho so I'm so glad smashbox has it now!
Beauty Pie has a contour wand that is an exact dupe of the CT Contour Wand. The medium shade is out of stock but the light and the deep aren't. Beauty Pie has enough really excellent skin care and makeup choices to justify their joining price.
The Milani contour wand should be very similar to the CT one. Also, Milani has color correctors, including a peachy one like becca, except they come in tubes and are inner (and therefore less cakey).
Hi Kelly! First of all please note that I LOVE your channel and thank you for providing such a great content. I keep forgetting to let you know that I think that you will find the nyx serum concealer much more enjoyable if you let it sit on your skin for at least a minute before you blend it. Hope it will work for you💕
I am excited to try the E.L.F. Whoa Glow sunscreen, and already like the Glo Liquid Filter. 👏🏽👏🏽 I also appreciate your breakdown and further refinement of the subcategories, too. Will continue to watch your channel!
Catrice has a an under eye corrector [UNDER EYE BRIGHTENER] that is worthy of the comparison with the becca one, I wouuuuld love to have your opinion on it 🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜
There is SO MUCH BS flying around because of TikTok. I know some of that is due to video length, but there is ZERO accountability! People can just say anything with impunity - including dangerous things and misinformation/lies, but even saying random incorrect things about makeup could cause financial problems for impressionable young kids. I hope it will eventually go in more of an Instagram direction, where there are occasional rules to worry about... (Sorry I sound so old! 👵)
You forgot some of the pillow talk dupes. The one I know is from flower beauty. I think the word spice is in the name. I have it but I don’t want to go find it. Lol
Now THAT is what a dupe video should look like. The only other thing I would like to hear is about the product's wear time and do they wear off the same.
Your community can help me here. I love the Farmacy 10% niacinamide face mask. But it’s like $42. Yesterday I bought Good Molecules 10% niacinamide serum. Can I just use that w night cream and save $$. Am I missing something here? I’m old, be nice to me. 😂😂😂😂
You look so much like Sarah Drew from greys anatomy!! Similar voice too! Thanks for the informative video. I’m so glad elf made a dupe for supergoop. I can’t wait to give it a try. Oh and I hate the brow freeze products too. Wayyyyy too much hold lol.
Love how you broke this down. I get so fed up with people calling things a “dupe” when it’s just not even close. Then everyone goes out to buy said “dupe” and has wasted their money once again! Very few drugstore brands tend to try and dupe high end brands, it’s mainly elf, revolution and essence, not many other brands like L’Oréal, max factor, maybelline etc tend to do dupes, it’s the more very affordable brands that do, and it has to be said, elf and essence have been killing it lately with he really fantastic dupes! Revolution has not been doing anywhere near as many as it used to I don’t feel. But it is still doing them. But Revolution was always going to, it was started around a kitchen table with the intention of bringing high quality products as good as high end brands but at affordable price points! And a majority of the time that’s what they do! Elf just started as an affordable option for like £1 an item for a long time, and it kept growing and started making some amazing affordable products before starting to dupe high end brands. It doesn’t always dupe something first, but It’s one of the few brands that nails it a majority of the time when it tries to dupe something!
The Flower Beauty Color Corrector didn't work at all for me. Made my under eyes look so cakey. Catrice used to have one that was amazing but now I can't find it makes me sad.
The NYX is not even remotely the same as the Kosas! I like both but they’re definitely not comparable imo. That said they mix well for a medium coverage natural finish day 😊
Just because something is a dupe does not mean it is a better value you need to check price per ounce or gram. Lipsticks are pretty standard so that's one thing but a dupe is for price
Frankly, I'm getting tired of the frantic hunt for dupes and production of dupes. It doesn't necessarily save me money. Would you have paid $9 for an elf lipstick just because it's a NARS dupe and your saving sooo much money? No? Me neither. That's $9 spent, not $~20ish saved. Unless you love NARS lipstick, then you're golden 😊. The price tags for the Supergoop duoe and the Halo Glow are above usual elf price tags as well. Not meaning to harp on elf, but it's the most obvious example. It's time to be more mindful and to think about if I'm really saving money or just spend less money on things I wouldn't have bought in the first place.
You are looking so ‘womanly’ these days… I was trying to think of a better word to describe it but that was the best I could come up with! I’m 29 and am like, Kelly is the vibe I wanna be 😂❤

Excellent topic. Plus depending on a persons skin type it will vary.

Keep doing these videos!! What do you prefer for eyebrow gel?

Cool video Kelly! I think ELF lip stains try to dupe the Nars equivalent. I don't have the Nars but I saw the packaging being similar.
@@EnvyBlu Oh I didn't know about them. Interesting!!! 🤔
I never gave Essence's pink serum a second glance but now I will check it out. Very good video! 💜💕
Yes my ears purked up when she was talking bout that one! Yes definitely going try that one!!!
I don’t think the Elf sunscreen is a dupe for the Glow Screen! The finish is similar but the Elf one is much drier and it has that terrible sunscreen scent. I use the Glow Screen every day and it’s super moisturizing and has such a beautiful finish.
Bliss Glow and Hydrate Day Serum is a dupe for the Glow Recipe Dew Drops without the scent!!!
Kelly your hair always looks so beautiful
I been saying the same and begging her for hair routine video! Lol
I really like the way you broke these down into various categories. More please!
I'm wondering if the Essence tint is an actual Benetint dupe. I'm curious to pick it up especially since it's like $6 on Ultas website.
Now that it’s back in stock, I really want to try that one!
Great video Kelly! 😄 I am definitely interested in that Ulta Beauty lip stain 👀 and your custom shade from the Bite lip lab looks so great on you! 💖
I've just recently found your channel and I'm so glad, you and your videos are fantastic 😁

I just bought a Flower beauty contour wand similar to the CT one (which I don’t have to compare) but it was $14 and they had 3 shades!
I was waiting for ur upload this morning 🥰
Thank you for watching!
I’ll be watching later but I had to drop in and just say this thumbnail is so perfect with the mirrored products I love it

I really love this video premise. Thanks!
You are looking gorgeous in these last few videos. Love the hair! 💁🏼♀️💕
Is there a dupe for the Kosas concealer?
Why does no one compare the Wander Beauty Catch the Light Highlighter and Glowtion to the Charlotte Tillbury?

Great video idea! Thank you for helping clarify what’s what! 💛🌻💛🌻
I think people see similar packaging and call something a dupe automatically. I also think brands have caught on to that lol.
I ❤ this video! Your take on products I think I agree with and trust the most. You, Jenn, and Allie are my girls! 😊
I am excited to try the E.L.F. Whoa Glow sunscreen, and already like the Glo Liquid Filter. 👏🏽👏🏽 I also appreciate your breakdown and further refinement of the subcategories, too. Will continue to watch your channel!
Where did you get your shirt? It's freaking cute!!! 😃
Omg! I was so excited for this! Especially interested in essence and benefit - I was thinking about whether or not to try them 🥰🥰
Maybe do one of those ranking charts?
“How close of a dupe is it”?
I wish I could buy Revolution, but I don’t vibe with their ethics.
RUMORED dupes would be a better name for the "not" category.
This is a great video idea. I didn't know I was missing something like that in my life. 🥰
You look so gorgeous in this Video!
The ABH brow freeze has a shelf life of 6 months and goes white and funky. No worth it!! Get the alternative
9/10 times the dupe will be a disappointment in my experience.
Catrice has a an under eye corrector [UNDER EYE BRIGHTENER] that is worthy of the comparison with the becca one, I wouuuuld love to have your opinion on it 🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜
I'm so sad Catrice left Ulta because that was my holy grail product. Made my blue undereyes look flawless.

Tiktok is the worst
All she does is talk, talk, talk w/ no meaning.🤦♀️
agreed on nyx and kosas. Glad it’s not just me lol
Great job Kelly! You look great but you must be cold girl! NYC winter is no joke right now. Brrr!!
Sooooo cold!!!
You forgot some of the pillow talk dupes. The one I know is from flower beauty. I think the word spice is in the name. I have it but I don’t want to go find it. Lol
Did enjoy this tutorial
Great video!
Great video! I just finished watching Disenchanted and your voice is very similar to Amy Adams 💖
Essence has a "dupe" for benetint now! I would love for you to try it and let us know!
I really want to try that one! It has been sold out but it just came back in stock!!
Yes, Kelly! Nyx and Kosas are not the same!!
Although it’s sold out right now, Sephora came out with a puff super similar to tati’s
Alternative sounds so much better than dupe ❤

My eyebrow hairs aren't fine and they don't hold up with the ELF brow gel lol
Dupes are sisters not twins to the original. And in most cases a distant cousin once removed.
The NYX is not even remotely the same as the Kosas! I like both but they’re definitely not comparable imo. That said they mix well for a medium coverage natural finish day 😊
God loves you
I like the word alternatives instead of the word dupe.
You should talk about higher end brands duping other high end brands. when I want a dupe I want affordable not something in the same price bracket.
Just because something is a dupe does not mean it is a better value you need to check price per ounce or gram. Lipsticks are pretty standard so that's one thing but a dupe is for price
you don't have any products right now 😝
