Both sides look great. But if the drug store side looks similar, why spend more money on higher end products. I live for drug store. I'm an elf girlie!
@@stephx8811that might not be true. What I think is high end makeup is for people with mature skin as they have this consistency that cover your fine line/wrinkles and doesn’t make it look worse while drugstore is for young people who don’t need much in beauty products but just coverage and finish.
L’Oréal infallible foundation is incredible, I was wearing it at Ulta last week and the lady in line next to me raved about me skin and asked what I had on, she got out of line to get a bottle for herself. I felt like an influencer 😂 it really is a great foundation.
I was interested in buying that because I heard it’s a dupe for the SC Lauder double but the Loreal one has alcohol and fragrance in it and that’s a big no-no for my skin.
These side-by-side comparisons are great, and sort of prove to me that we dont have to spend all that extra money, However.... I really wish you had finished with at least a 4 or 6 hour wear post at the end...to see if it stiil looks good, or it just needs a touchup and its smoothed and ready to go on into the night...or if it looks terrible and is unfixable to get back a nice even look. Please consider doing that next time you do a comparison/dupe.👍👍👍
both the sides are pretty on their own, but if I have to pick one it definitely will be the high end side..it just looks more bright and flawless. Maybe that is why they are expensive. Thanks for these amazing recommendations ❤
I rarely have good luck with drug store makeup. The foundation shade is always off from the shade in the bottom. Great video however! You have a new subscriber.
I love this! For us girls that are a little more tomboy, tight on money, or just a mom that spends all are money are her kids I love this video. Ideas to spoil ourselves without feeling guilty!❤
For the Rare Beauty, it’s 100% worth it! They also have minis if someone doesn’t want to bite the bullet! For the L’oréal Infallible foundation it is FANTASTIC! One of the best foundations in my collection and I continue to go back to it. ❤
The nyx pencil lip liners are the best and they last a long time. I know not everyone likes the pencil lip liners but honestly, they are great. They work very well. Very pretty colors. I love them all. ❤
Yes! Finally someone that didn't go straight to elf for for a hydrogrip dupe. I actually have gone through 2 of those Bare with Me primers. I like it a lot more than the elf
Gorgeous. Honestly the expensive side is amazing it looks brighter smoother prettier but both are awesome I can't wait to try these products...I do want the rare beauty blush for sure tho .🎉❤❤❤
Thank you for the thorough review. I enjoyed it. I feel like the high end side, your face looks more lifted and the colors are deeper. The drugstore makeup is more muted and your cheeks don’t look as lifted on that side. I guess it may be a matter of preference and your mood on that day. I absolutely love the soft muted pink from the nyx one on your lips. Overall, I think the look was beautiful!
I definitely love the higher end side. I can tell a difference. However, they look extremely close. Thank you for doing these type of videos. I really enjoy them. 🩷💄
Aftersun aloe gel is a dupe for the milk primer. Definitely knew which side was the high end. But both sides looked good. Can’t wait to try some of these.
Both sides look the same, the only noticeable difference is the lipliner and lash. Both beautiful, I think affordable is the way to go for everyday, and expensive for special occasions; good way to save money imo.
Other than the lip liner you can't tell a difference. Speaking of lip liners that look like pillow talk, peripera velvet lip liner in rosy nude is the closest dupe I've found.
I was wondering when you were gonna do another one of these videos. Yay! I am a team L'oreal/Revolution/Milani fan. L'oreal has been making my favorite makeup products for decades. And I love the smell of their lipstick. It's a fruity/flowery scent.
Love Hourglass Concealer. _LOVVVE_ IT! Hate the price. Really. It is SO expensive. I’m excited to get the dupe and try it out. U said it’s more coverage than the HG which is fine by me bc I really like a full coverage concealer. Great video!
Wish I knew how to touch up my foundation if it gets patchy thru the day. That’s one tip I can’t find ANYWHERE. Once a little bit wipes off-I can’t figure out how to repair any errors.
both sides look good, and I like details from each :) BUT I would stick with the NARS foundation and the Charlotte pencil/highlighter and setting spray and then go with the other dupes
I have the huda beauty powder as well, but the pink brightening one, and I also have the fit me powder. I def prefer the fit me over the huda one!! Like you said, for some reason, the huda one seems to dull out my under eye basically. While the fit me definitelyyy brightens. I love it!!
The elf power grip primer is more of a dupe for the milk primer; I would also say the same for the rare beauty liquid blush, it’s dupe is most definitely the elf camo liquid blush
Happy New Years Christen and all your followers I pray this year brings you all blessings on blessings ❤️ this year I’m looking forward to the biggest blessing I will be a grandmother for the first time, I can’t tell you how very thankful we all are due in July. My daughter has had a very hard time these past few years but God has blessed her with this precious gift so needless to say we are all over the moon I feel this year will be a blessed year for us all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ May God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@christendominique ok, it’s always hard for me to put a makeup routine together. Like what looks good on me vs what does not. You’re my favorite TH-camr. I’ve been watching you for like 10 years. 😊
I’m just going to say, I guessed right side was high end when you said to guess. The brow highlight and lashes are what made me pick that side. lol it’s super similar though.
This is so good... I have my list ready for CVS. I used to love love love loreal voluminous and my mom recommended Lancome Monsieur and I'm so hooked. Yes Loreal is similar but nothing imo is as fluffy as that brush from Lancome...Love your videos!!!
I have that primer but i prefer the ELF dupe, damn i haven't used the Infallible foundation in YEARS, for the blush dupe i would recommend the Juvias place, LOVE the camo concealer, FITME powder is my fave, the ELF blush is one of my favorites, NYX lip liners are GOLD,
If someone doesn’t want to spend a lot, the drugstore is a great option and it still looks good, but I chose correctly which side was the high end from the beginning of the video, you can tell. It just looks smoother and brighter and it blended together more nicely. It is subtle though. But with makeup I think you do get what you pay for in terms of quality, but there are great products on both sides of the price spectrum for sure.
I lile how after applying the elf highlighter you finished with " I don't like it", thats when you know you are getting a very honest review. Have you made a video with all your favorite fancier make up and a video of all you ñr favorite dupes?
The expensive side looks fresher and polished for me. Id probably save and splurge on some of the items if i cant afford to buy all the expensive stuff. Also, i wonder how both sides would look after several hours on the face
I am a huge fan of the L’Oreal Glotion!! I typically mix it with my sheer coverage foundation (Estée Lauder Double Wear Sheer Long Wear Makeup in Pebble) & sometimes even a little moisturizer. Perfection!!! I am 54 & people compliment me regularly when I do this, and ask what I do to make my skin so glowy.
Both sides look great. But if the drug store side looks similar, why spend more money on higher end products. I live for drug store. I'm an elf girlie!

Same elf girl🎉
Because drugstore makeup ages you over time. High end has all the skin care benefits you want to hold off the aging process for longer

I love all the infallible products, they are all great.
@@Valerielopez2002the alcohol ingredients in cosmetics aren’t the same as the drying isopropyl alcohol we’re familiar with.
Thanks for the info. I am going to try it. Need a new foundation brand and haven’t had a clue which to go with.
The elf power grip I think is the dupe for hydro grip
❤
I was watching to see what dupes I cold find, but instead I've added Nars foundation to my cart... because wow!!! 😍

The elf camo liquid blushes are the best dupe for the rare beauty blushes. They just don’t have an exact dupe for the color happy
Yes! Finally someone that didn't go straight to elf for for a hydrogrip dupe. I actually have gone through 2 of those Bare with Me primers. I like it a lot more than the elf
Wow really!!
You’re so naturally pretty. I’ve seen so many dupe videos but this one is actually a really good video.
The elf liquid blush is so pigmented and much more like the rare beauty one
Ooh!!
I used both the Fit me powder and the Huda beauty powder. I find that the maybelline is more brightening but the Huda beauty is more blurring 🫶
the maybelline makes my makeup look super cakey
Ive tried so many high end and indy brands in sub boxes and for mascara nothing has beat loreal voluminous waterproof formula and lash volume
Gorgeous. Honestly the expensive side is amazing it looks brighter smoother prettier but both are awesome I can't wait to try these products...I do want the rare beauty blush for sure tho .🎉❤❤❤
The wood lip liners from NYX are very good.
I think the luxury side looks smoother, specially the under eye area it's probably the powder 😅 over all both sides look good 👍🏽
Lash Paradise is my all-time favorite mascara! I have tried so many mascaras, and i always go back to Lash Paradise. It's so good.
There is more light on the high end side, makes it look nicer… the light is uneven so it favors that side
I always thought it was the lighting but her face is asymmetrical.
Her high end sides had more lighter shades like the drunk elephant and the foundation shade.
The Elf concealer is the BEST concealer I've ever tried
Thank you for the thorough review. I enjoyed it. I feel like the high end side, your face looks more lifted and the colors are deeper. The drugstore makeup is more muted and your cheeks don’t look as lifted on that side. I guess it may be a matter of preference and your mood on that day.

Here for you!!❤❤

Ok you convinced me. I need to pick up the NARS foundation. I tried the L’Oreal foundation but could not stand the smell. Both sides look beautiful!
You’re going to live in the shade Punjab
can someone explain why all makeup youtubers do their eyebrows off camera lol
Yes. The brows were the thing I really wanted to see.
This is the most original dupe video I've seen in AGES! good for you, girl❤❤❤
That nyx jelly primer is so good and so slept on
Thanks!

The nars foundation looks so good 😍
Elf liquid blush is so good definitely a dupe

Both sides look the same, the only noticeable difference is the lipliner and lash. Both beautiful, I think affordable is the way to go for everyday, and expensive for special occasions; good way to save money imo.
For the milk power grip primer the best dupe for it is the elfl power grip primer in the same primer.
I’ve tried that one!
The lashes make a huge difference!
Omg would be so fun if you did a blind verison where you dont know which side is the high end one
Background music was noisy distracting
Exactly 😢
I disagree. For me, the music was upbeat and motivating. 😁
i love youtube so much!! I was tired of watching 1-2 min makeup videos so thank you!!! lol
Both look almost the same the luxury side just looks brighter. Thank you for sharing ❤
Other than the lip liner you can't tell a difference. Speaking of lip liners that look like pillow talk, peripera velvet lip liner in rosy nude is the closest dupe I've found.
Both look great!❤️

Yes i can!!

Both sides look beautiful. The high end looks brighter. I love both sides.
I’ve been using chat gpt as well for buying the best makeup lol 😅
I honestly can't tell witch side is witch! They both look amazing! Very beautiful! 💖🙂
That nars foundation cap is so real lol love it
Thanks ! I love the comparisons … look very similar ❤
I’m just going to say, I guessed right side was high end when you said to guess. The brow highlight and lashes are what made me pick that side. lol it’s super similar though.
Appreciate this so much! Love saving money and still get similar results as any high end product 🥰
Just found your channel. I love this makeup content! Affordability is always a must in my book! Also, you're so gorgeous. 😍❤️
Such a great video seeing the compararon of high end versus lower cost makeup. Drugstore is realy performing so close to high end. ❤
I think both sides are beautiful. And you need no makeup. Your gorgeous.❤😂
This is so good... I have my list ready for CVS. I used to love love love loreal voluminous and my mom recommended Lancome Monsieur and I'm so hooked. Yes Loreal is similar but nothing imo is as fluffy as that brush from Lancome...Love your videos!!!
Thank you love and thank you so much for sharing❤
Great demonstration love some of the choices and why. Excellent im going to try a new foundation and under eye cover
Both sides look so beautiful on you gurl!!!!
I have that primer but i prefer the ELF dupe, damn i haven't used the Infallible foundation in YEARS, for the blush dupe i would recommend the Juvias place, LOVE the camo concealer, FITME powder is my fave, the ELF blush is one of my favorites, NYX lip liners are GOLD,
what shade did you use on the elf concealer
girllll🩷 both sides are definitely very similar all you needed was a fuller lash for the dupe side.
Right so good!!
can you do a back to school make up for college students 🫶🏻 loved all your videos btw ❤
Yes!!!
Christen,
You are absolutely stunningly beautiful. Thank you fir your tutorials. You make it look so easy.
the L'Oreal foundation sadly emphasizes my texture. I also use the NARS one and I LOVE it! It sits on my skin beautifully.
Loreal is amazing. What brush did you use
So did the Milani spray last through the day?
I like the higher end but i think its because of the lily lash it lifted your face 😍
i mean it looks great now but how does it looks after 2 hours of wearing it
your makeup always looks amazing!❤
If someone doesn’t want to spend a lot, the drugstore is a great option and it still looks good, but I chose correctly which side was the high end from the beginning of the video, you can tell. It just looks smoother and brighter and it blended together more nicely. It is subtle though. But with makeup I think you do get what you pay for in terms of quality, but there are great products on both sides of the price spectrum for sure.
You’re so pretty Christen! ❤
So Insightful, Thankyou ❤
Which Pillowtalk did you use? Pink Nude or Warm Berry? Looks soo good on you!
Juvias Place for the brand to use for blush next time, gotta check the shade again!
Left side is high end 😂ok, now I shall continue watching
❤❤❤❤ thanksfor positive grace
This is such a gorgeous look
How long after you apply a primer do you use the foundation? Let it dry down first? Or put on foundation right away?
Can you please do a video on how to use that ChatGPT? Thank you for your video. I really appreciate it.
GLotion is awesome I've loved it for years
I lile how after applying the elf highlighter you finished with " I don't like it", thats when you know you are getting a very honest review.
Have you made a video with all your favorite fancier make up and a video of all you ñr favorite dupes?
L’Oreal has a pro dewy foundation that may be a much more comparable formula ❤️
I think both sides are the same, which really enhances your beauty
im going to have to get me some of those dupe products👀😍😍
Such good buys!
I always trust the opinion of Christen. Thanks for sharing valuable money-saving information.
the brand ioni had the best products. could you do a review on them ??
The expensive side looks fresher and polished for me. Id probably save and splurge on some of the items if i cant afford to buy all the expensive stuff. Also, i wonder how both sides would look after several hours on the face
I love Nyx! The L’Oreal Lash Paradise mascara used to have me in a choke hold summer 2017. Such a fun video!
You are very beautiful 😍😍😍 and creative 💞 makeup artist 💕
I would never pay 50 for a foundation ever the drugstore has fabulous products
You are gorgeous girl!! Omgoodness! 😊
Thank you love!

What eyelash glue did you use to attach the lashes?
i love both sides. can u do a video on fall makeup for back to school!!
