[gabyc2010]

wow you did an amazing job! thank you!!! :)

[PINKsplash17]

amazing!



[Takesonetoknow0ne]

YEY! I thought i was the only person who is preaching that NYX is just as good and possibly better than M.A.C. and i love wet n wild as well

[deenee6789]

i think it would be pretty awesome if before your every video starts the painting of you made by your sister appears on screen for a few seconds...like an intro or something

[LexiOverdose]

You have the most beautiful profile! Thank you for this video!

[crickiechickie]

note to self: start buying the wet n wild palettes.

[MrsBeeEee2007]

I love that you aren't a MAC Nazi. Some guru's on here are all about MAC when there is just as high quality products for cheaper. You are awesome. I'm making my next makeup shopping list!! Lol

[bluesky343d]

Nice to see this, I thought I was the only one who that Mac was expensive.

[bieberswiftlove14]

GREAT video! thank you!! :) <3

[merilydaze]

This was brilliant ! ... Thank you : )

[loloadodo]

The drugstore eye shadow's actually look more pigmented! 

[TheCatalanheart]

Thank you for this! I'm off to the drugstore :D

[lovelifeandhappiness]

thank you soo much for sharing!! why would anyone 'dislike' this video!?

[beapinkie9]

xD And I just kind of slowly started to get some ;D lol 0:19

[Vixenvp]

Thank you for taking the time to research all of this! This saves us all so much time and effort. I was actually looking for a dup for Satin Taupe and this was so helpful. The dups are so right on with the actual colors and particular shimmers or pearlie shades to them.

Thank you, thank you. Very impressive!

[nemoryer]

What eyeshadow are you using on this video please? It's quite lovely. Thanks.

[KaceeNikole85]

This is awesome !!

[Katrinbatyam]

Hi Emily!=) Good job, thanx a lot=)))) P.S. I love ur chanel ! U r super positive and beautiful!When u are smiling i find myself smiling too!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

[missdaisy823]

i love watching your videos! you are always so informative and helpful especially to newbies like me. keep them coming!!!

[theclairebear466]

thank you soooo much for this video! EXTREMELY helpful. I can't wait to buy the Wet 'n Wild palettes- and I'm so grateful that you provided a dupe for Woodwinked too. THANK YOU

[GlideAroundTheRoom]

This is probably one of the best videos I've seen in a long time. It's great that you're doing this video, especially for someone like me who's on a budget and doesn't have a ton of money to spend. Thank You. The Maybelline 24hr. Color Tattoo Eyeshadows are great dupes for MAC paint pots. Especially Painterly. Maybelline's Bad to the Bronze=Painterly and it only costs like $6. :)

[glamstarred]

how funny Im not a huge Mac fan but the 2 colors I do have are beauty marked and cranberry. i feel that Mac shadows aren't as soft as brand like too faced and i have to dab more than brush on

[starkris4eva]

Omg. This is amazing how similar and plp wastin money on mac

[starkris4eva]

You could be a newscaster

[rainbowdust919]

@starkris4eva She is!!! Hahaha.

[jennycoat]

Hi Emily, can you also do a mac dupe list for the coastal scents palette as well? Or do you think the palette basically covers everything? Thanks! xoxo

[catvaldivia]

I love this video. Thanks for making such a great video!

[chelle329]

Emily, you've turned me onto Milani. Also that VitaSurge Cuticle Gel is amazing!

[missnikkibella1998]

i owned almost every dupe you mentioned, and almost all of those mac shadows are ones i wanted!!!!!!!! so helpful!!!!!!!!!

[boobearstina]

I have both of the wet and wild 8 color palettes, they are amazing!

[marianamakeup4e]

Hi Emily! I have a shadow from The Body Shop (#43) and it reminds me so much to"Humid" by MAC and I think it is such an interesting and unique color. I personally don't own "Humid" but do you think #43 from The Body Shop is a good dupe?? I would love to know! Thanks (:

[Noel236]

I noticed that a lot of the wet n wild have a better color payoff then mac, this is really good to know, I love mac but I like color payoff more.

[alesshamiltonbaby]

you look gorgeous :o ! which eyeshadow do you have on your eyes here? looks amazing :) thankyou for this video! <3

[TheRachieex]

Amazing dupes ! More ? (:

[thesoapheiress]

the revlon colorstay quads retail for $5 in the states?! that's so unfair!!! in canada, at the high end drugstores, they're either $13.99 or $15.99 and at walmart i think they're $11.49 - and that's not even considering the 13% tax we pay!!!

[Ninuh01]

Thank you so much!! I have been planning to buy a haul of MAC eyeshadows and you just saved me a whole lot of money. I'm surprised that I have a MAC dupe in my collection (I have Wet N' Wild). Thank you very much!

[crazy4bdd]

Emily u r amazing!!

Thank u soooo much for taking the time to do this. I can't even begin to imagine the work that went into this!! :)

[de1978l]

hey thanks for us gals on a budget

[loveoutloud224]

Wow! These are like EXACT dupes!! a lot of the times you see these videos and the dupes are a couple shades off . Thanks for taking the time to do this all the way ! (:

[hcnhcc312lakersbball]

what did you have on your nails?

[Vlovesmakeup14]

More dupes please!:)

[T0X1Cangel11]

Love the video!!!! i know this is a stupid question but i jut started being a make up crazy lol do you think you could do a video for mac brush doups?

[MtnSnowflake]

GREAT video!

[mgbebot79]

i really love and appreciate your reviews!!! you have awesome swatches and detailed descriptions! thank you!!!! this is a video i've been looking for! def added to my faves!

[oneblackrose2012]

Awesome! Loved your explanation, very detailed. A lot better then other videos I watched :-)

[Ccoppering]

This is seriously the best makeup video on youtube. I love your videos!

[LiveLoveLaugh8403]

Wow amazing !

[EBH613]

I was wondering if you would do a Milani only dupes for Mac eye shadows for mainly neutrals and warm colors? I have seen quite a few that look like they compare but I don't own Mac shadows to compare to the Milani I love. I love your vids so much.Thanks!

[mikaylalaue3]

omg. your dupes r right on!

[tajwhite25]

i love your eye shadow look. Would love to see a tut on your look. love your videos thanks again!

[foreverkashmiri]

luv u .....ahhh finally......no need to die 4 mac......dupes r here.....wow....i worked on with the revlon colorstay in coffee bean...today. n ma friends cudn't tell the difference..muah to u

[JoshCouture69]

They now have an individual shadow by wet n wild by the name of Panther which is a matte black, and omg, it is so soooo dark and pigmented and the texture is just perfect. I would suggest trying it out!

[dazzlefancy1]

Love this video!!! Thank you!!!

[OLittlefaith]

Wow! Amazingly helpful!! Thank you soo much!

[claystar101]

omg you are so pretty i love i whatch all you vids

[TheLillyGee]

I just linked my friend this video, and she told me that she has she been watching your videos for a long time and that you live in our hometown! It's a small world after all.

[ALadyJett]

on the wet n wild matt black there is also the same black (I believe) offered in their new pallet called GREED GOURMANDISE. Pretty colors as well.

[sayisrad]

The only downside to the Wet n Wild is that I get major, MAJOR fallout when I use the darker colors, even when I only use the teeny tiniest amount. I've never had a fallout issue with Mac.

[conkyr1]

In my country (Cyprus) mac eyeshadows cost 22 USD (17 euro) so 14.50 USD it's not that bad... They are too expensive here and that is so sad:(

[lolaeddaloo3a]

thank u 4 putting all this effort in finding us dupes and making beauty more budget-friendly and approachable <3 god bless u woman!

[21caseyanne]

nyx cranberry and volcano would be great combination look :)

[Licona1219]

This video is one of the most helpful dupe eyeshadow video I've ever watched. Thank you SO much!

[Zeravlastar]

Blue had my at hello

[shexyshark]

I have 9 mac shadows and Im trying to finish all of them in 7 months before I go to Chicago and visit the pro store to B2M. I don't really like any of them so it will be a challenge!! (dazzlelight, ricepaper, patina, vex, copperplate, club, all that glitters, cordoury, and swimming) wish me luck!

[akiwifer]

Pictures of the swatches are blury :( Can you please post on the blog?

[jeraldine111]

OMG this video is divine!! Thanks so much

[TheHotgurl3]

where can you buy nyx in canada?

[315a]

@TheHotgurl3 i think walmart

[makeupjunkiexo1]

@315a

you cant buy nyx at walmart :l you can buy NYC at walmart, not nyx. if you've seen it there, awesome, but i have not. i think you can get nyx at save on food. my city doesn't have one but i've seen a comment on another video saiyng so.

[victimofstereotypes2]

Wow, that was great! And you did my most wanted MAC colors! The Wet n Wild - Walking on Eggshells. Thank you!

[raquel7922]

Yay! WnW came out with a single matte black called panther...it's amazing!

[iforgotmyusername83]

Thanks! You make me proud in myself not to own any MAC makeup :).

[sweetLKhoney24]

Thank you so much for all your research on these more affordable eyeshadows!

Much love!

[ConfidentlyMegan]

Thank you so much! I can't afford MAC makeup and the colors are so gorgeous but the price they want them for is just outrageous! I also think that your dupes are much more vibrant and better than MAC's original eye shadows so thank you very much for this video! I subscribed because of this video and also a few other videos you made, I really, truly appreciate the help!

[Curlyoureyelashes]

Super video ! Merci ! Thanks for searching, matching, trying, swatching! Ths a lot ! Kiss :)

[irisxtina89]

wonderful thank you!!

[thebamasisters]

you look so gorgeous and skinny

[snufkiiin]

VERY WELL DONE!!!!! GREAT PROJECT!!

[Keke1980s]

Excellent work Detective!

[MZEURASIANBEAUTY]

You do the best dupe vids!!!  Queen of dupes lol Thank you!

[MZEURASIANBEAUTY]

I am diggin' your dupes, high end product choices, and comparison vids.

[133anne]

great job!

[NonaTut]

I just wanted to say that I think you did a fabulous job with finding these dupes! Funny thing is that the Mac Shadows you showed here are my favorites! I already had a few of the dupes and didn't even realize it. Good news, because as a "junkie" I can replace the Mac shadows when I run out at a much more affordable price :) LOVE THAT!

[jadenkim34]

It's 18 dollars in Canada!

[junleifa]

Thank you for taking the time to research into the MAC dupes and uploading this video. :)

[sunrise556]

what a great and helpful video

[whatstyleistoemma]

they are $15 dollars now...

[xanna121]

I WAS KIND OF EXITED WHEN I SAW U GOT A "N Y C" DUPE FOR MAC BUT THEN I REALIZED U MADE A SPELLING MISTAKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY "NYX" :(

AT MIN 4:16

[TheLittleMissLou]

A dupe for woodwinked is half baked in the naked palatte

[itzKellyTime]

Ty so much for this video!! Helped alot (: i hav the elf butternut quad too yayy!!

[niamhshanahan]

your hair looks so nice here! :D

[95Jellybeanz]

Here in Canada MAC eyeshadows are $18.00, Add the tax and you are spending $21.50 on one eyeshadow....

[Fullhouse1995]

Woah! When you held up woodwinked I was like "oohh I have to get that!" and then when you said the dupe I realized I HAVE the butternut quad! Haha

[Makeupgirl9713]

Thanks SO much! :)

[mellesha1984]

love you videos

[Naturalcolor10]

thanks very much for this video...I love the colors...however I never though that MAC was the way to go. I have purchased a holiday palette from MAC and I love my Wet N' Wild eye shadows so much better. I pick up the NYX palette rock and roll.

[Chillstress]

I only watch dupe videos from you. Not only do you find EXACT color dupes for products, but you factor in consistency and color payoff. You put in SO much hard work for us! I just want to thank you!

[melodynicoleg19]

I got so excited when i saw the Woodwinked dupe! I had that palette in my room and had been wanting to buy the MAC shadow for a while now. thanks so much!

[GodBlessYou2000]

wow nuff said

[bikinimad]

MAC Da Bling = No7 Natural Radiance Eye Palette(pink).

And also I think maybe MAC Bitter or Lucky Green = No7 Natural Radiance Eye Palette (green).

Ohh and not in the package but when applied MAC Honesty = p2 Color Your Life eye Shahow Palette in Morning Dew (the shimmery brown :)

[bikinimad]

I am actually so confused...i just watched this video on two other channels which only had 1 or 2 views each...is this now her real channel?

[URABombShell]

thanks so much!!!!! great dupe video. xo

[gingerhalo1234]

You are amazing

[DaniDeelish]

$14.5 for a MAC eyeshadow is really good! I live in Australia, and here it's $26 for a pan form eyeshadow, and $33 for the eyeshadow in the pot! Arrgg so expensive! If i ever go to America, I will go broke buying all your cheap makeup!

[saritajakhere]

The Wet and Wild had Me At Hello palette is amazing. All the colors are gorgeous, deeply pigmented and it is only $5. :)

[hotmessis]

I just love ur videos, thank u for takeing time to do them for us!

[JolieBlossom]

Can I just say you're Awesomee I love your personality :) I've been watching you for over a year and you're an amazing person!

[hahaharachel]

omg, your dupes are amazing

[angel37757]

You have just saved me sooooo much money!! I can't express enough how much this has helped me! Even my husband was like you rock! lol

[LifeInYourForties]

I can afford to buy pretty much any brand I want...Mac or Tarte or even Laura Mercier...and I have them all..but it seems I ALWAYS reach for my Wet n Wild pallettes...and I do mean ALWAYS...second is NYX...W n W is by far superior to any Mac shadows I have...Thanks for this video because I agree with everything you said!

[iheartcoupons9]

COOL Videos I love videos like this Im looking for a great new eyeliner.. got any ideas!

[pasbom]

omg! this is so amazing! thank you! :)

[TheStrawberriePanda]

i dont see why canadians dont go on an annual shopping spree in the usa for makeup!!

[QuinShene1980]

Best dupe video on yt, thank u soooo much. Can you do a dupe for the naked2 pallet?

[princessLouLee]

wow, that's such an incredible video, thanks!!! $14.50's not bad for a MAC shadow, try $17-$18 here in Canada, when the wet 'n wild palettes with 8 shadows I've seen for $5 or $6, even the NYX trios sometimes sell up here for almost $10 but even buying that's better than the money spent on 1 MAC shadow and you'll get another 2 shadows bonus, now I know what I'll do when these MAC shadows are done, buy NYX, wet 'n wild, cover girl, and elf for dupes : D

[ash12787]

@princessLouLee mac eyeshadows are $32 here in australia! i think we have the most expensive cosmetics in the world!

[popstar4296]

woodwinked has a dupe in a cover girl trio!!!!!

[MsUzy91]

@cocopinkmakeup1927 i know there's so many products i want to buy from nyx and wet and wild but i can't :( thanks for the website but tbh half the fun of buying makeup is swatching it first so im not a fan of shopping online! I wish i had an American cousin to visit too lol the best products we have are Barry m and sleek and even then we don't have much variety! Tell your cousin to bring you the new mua palettes too ;)

[princessmei10]

WnW has a matte black shade on their Greed palette! :)

[star1star2010]

MAC Handwritten = Revlon colourstay eyeshadow in Coffee Bean.

MAC Woodwinked = ELF Quad in Butternut

[star1star2010]

MAC Shroom, Cork, Naked Lunch= WnW Walking on Eggshells palette MAC Nylon, Satin Taupe, Night Divine= NYX Rock & Roll palette MAC Cranberry= NYX Rust MAC Twinks= NYX Volcano MAC Carbon= WnW Blue Had Me at Hello palette (matt black) MAC Beauty Marked= WnW Petal Pusher palette (purple "crease") MAC Trax= Milani in Fusion MAC Blackberry= ELF Berry Mix Duo MAC Star violet= Hard Candy in Secret Rendezvous MAC Sketch= CG Eye Brightening- Vivid greens palette

[KissKissMakeupSierra]

i just bought NYXs rust to replicate a holiday look with MAC's cranberry. emily, i tell you; you save me probably hundreds of dollars on every makeup shopping trip i go on. i was planning on going to mac for the majority of these shades today, and i found this video with like 12 of the shadows i was getting and their affordable dupes. Instead of going to my MAC counter, i took a detour to ULTA. $50 bucks for 12 mac exact dupes. i think you have utterly changed my life.

[MsUzy91]

We don't have nyx in UK :( :(

[666catsatan]

The entire time watching this I was mesmerized by your fangs. Are they naturally that sharp? Holy hell they're literally gorgeous. I sound so weird swooning over someone's teeth but.. does anyone else notice how sharp they are????

[MakeupWithLexx]

Please list all products in down bar please!

[Kyoluvr2]

does anyone know a dupe for m.a.c girlie?

[jaminewyork]

In one of my ELF palletes I have a total dupe for hand written

[mrsmexy78]

what is a definer

and i am a girl

[mrsmexy78]

what is a definer

[posionousrose13]

Thanks for your hard work!! I can't afford $14 for eye shadow so thank you!

[whiskeyromance]

@kevseb66 Of course, I think they stopped selling Greed. It's in the "Blue Had Me At Hello" palette too!

[MainlyJessieMae]

this is basically THE VIDEO i have been looking for!! It was so helpful!!!

[yayitsami]

GREAT video! I have rust and I absolutely LOVE it!

[kisoonishi]

The blackest black is definately Kat Von D's Lucifer eyeshadow!

[mfreund91]

Im looking drugstore dupe for Mac pod eyeshadow - Rubenesque. Thanks, Michele xoxo

[1007jenkins]

Love these dupe videos could you dupes on mac blushes?

[njgreene03]

Hi Emily, I was wondering it you knew a good dupe for M.A.C.'s Deep Damson? Thanks for all the work in the video, it was a HUGE help. Definitely going to be making some purchases!!!!!

[lvhlf18]

Wow, this video is AMAZING! your awesome. 

[megalrypete]

BTW I have the first palette you showed!!! I was freaking out :)

[megalrypete]

you are my FAVORITE guru of all time. you are so friendly, nice, funny, AND professional, informative, articulate...it's amazing! No guru comes close to you, emily! You give THE BEST reviews and tutorials, and your videos are SO fun to watch, and the only ones I actually watch the entire way through! Just thought I'd let you know what a great job you're doing! :)

[IMissBritneyAlexI]

is it true that things are expensive for a reason?

[MyUsername156]

thanks so much

[jenmichelle523]

What a great video!!! I've passed that first wnw palette so many times. Not this time though! Thank u for tour time and efforts!!

[lipglosslover1997]

Thank you so much ! This video was very helpfull :D

[verabradleygirl13]

Was I the only one who got so excited when she started taking about products I already had!? :) I jumped up and down like crazy!

[vangkaoma]

I am looking for a dupe for mac bold and brazen can you help me find it?? or anyone?? please help!

[BrittnBrielleG]

ok thanks to you i just spent $45 at walmart on dupes :) these were the best i've seen on here. great job! you're added to my favorites list

[krystalboo100]

stop at 14:10 her hair looks so cool

[MissClaireTully]

this was absolutely amazing! its so cool how you took the time to find exacts great job and thanks! xo

[surphsupbabe]

Before watching this video a few months ago, I had never even thought of looking for dupes for MAC. This was the first dupes video I ever watched, and I have to say, YOU HAVE SPOILED ME!! This is by far the best video out there, and all other reviews seem like childish nonsense. I can't take them seriously! You are so articulate and precise, and your dupes are spot-on. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

[xxgetinspiredxx]

Wow. I am officially never buying another MAC eyeshadow again...

[DowntownGirl16]

Ive really wanted to start getting mac shadows but after seeing this im definitely getting the dupes! THE best dupes video i have seen BY FAR! You just gained one more subscriber:D

[TaniaPiunno]

In Canada MAC eyeshadows are twenty dollars after tax!

[kayymariee23]

can you do one for good neutral colors?(:

[foxforcegirl]

I can't find petal pusher in SoCal

[addictedtopretty]

@foxforcegirl I found it at all walgreens, rite aids, and some CVS. keep looking!

[26glamgirl]

Do these actually last as long as mac eyeshadows? I have two NYX pallettes and they are chalky and last about 30 min.

[tijuanense91]

Oh and THANKS. ;)

[tijuanense91]

I N C R E D I B L E ... it's all I can say

[m00035]

BEST DUPE VID EVER

[not1a1dumb1blonde]

I just ordered beauty marked and cranberry yesterday! :D I had to get it for my dance team.

[beautifulbeauty7]

Could you put everything in to "down bar" thing?>

K, thanks:)

[AbeeHaseeb1998]

I think that Handwritten was a little more reddish or maroonish!

[perfumejunky1]

There is one MAC e/s that you really should purchase. It's Vex, it just absolutely beautiful. It looks slightly grey, slightly green, slightly pink. But it's one that is just so unique, I think it would be hard to dupe. It's is soft and buttery easy to blend, and makes a beautiful highlight as well as using with darker colors. Thanks for this video.

[OohLaLashes]

This video is SO helpful, I'm sure you've saved a lot of people a lot of money!! Thank you! <3
