  • 1 ml liquid is approx 1 g

  • @MissYipppieee yes, if it's water :)

  • I notice you don't know conversion rates - google often has conversion calculators for measurements and the like. :) Not saying you have to, but those who care can. Love your vids.

  • Hi Wayne, hope you're well. I have olive Middle Eastern skin - what sort of highlighter/blush should I be using? I already own Gilda by NARS, which is fabulous, but a little harsh when I have a strong lip colour/eyeshadow colour on. Thanks for the videos!

  • (bcoz i luv french) if your wondering wat the comment means below it says:

    "i love thanks/ thank you for this video"

    so hope you enjoyed your lesson 2day class,

    au revoir LOL xx

  • j'adore merci pour cette video 

  • Here in Germany loooot of Gurus found the eyeko cream in extra glow which is only available in the UK to be a dupe for Benefits High Beam it contains a lot of Product since it's a cream and it's also around 5 Pounds I think :)

  • These are currently £3.75 at super drug... As if they needed to be any cheaper! ^_^ Love these! Awesome videos! x

  • LOL YOUR A MAN! LOL.

  • HE IS HOT:)

  • ooo so subscribed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

  • For those who don't know the conversions:

    Benefit high beam is 1 milliliter more than mememe's product.

    This also means its 1 gram more, but that really depends on the density difference. The mememe is way cheaper for the volume so the conversions don't really matter. :P

  • how do we use this liquid highlighter? can we powder on top of it?

  • THe correct link is

    mememecosmetics co uk

    Thumbs up so Gross can correct it :D

  • @Smashinbeauty Goss, not Gross.. lol

  • do you know by any chance about Mememe's reputation for testing on animals? i've been trying to find out!

  • Sleek has also great liquid highlighter!

  • am died her wear a ring :'( he hate me

  • thaks wayne....is it the light or you look a bit orangey?!

  • another great video Wayne thanks x

  • @loobsy1 yea i also agree! It makes a change for once!

  • Thanks been wantin to buy some benefit products 4 a while, but i just codnt be bovered to save up.

    So i ll buy this instead, cheers! :D lol

  • my mate works for benefit and she said mememe as a brand are a benefit dupe anyway so they do a few dupes 

  • I love how your videos are short and sweet; not a lot of rambling like many other gurus!

  • I'm so sad i went out today and bought two of the dupes you recommended!

    Love them both though! xx

  • thanks for NON USA DUPES Wayne at last products we can get over here

  • @edelab12 oh get over it, everyone does dupes for american products, wayne is english thereforeso are most his audience. Go find someone else.

  • Is the Benefit's High Beam product good???

  • @wildredrose99 Fantastic product!!

  • Strange that Benefit is measured in grams (weight) rather than the amount of liquid (mls) in the bottle. The only way to do fair comparisson is to measure the amount of liquid in the bottle of Benefit because the wieght of the bottles themselves would differ, therby giving an imprecise comparisson if you just weighed the Mememe product.

    Happy to put my undergraduate and graduate degrees in Science to good use for a change:):)

  • I like how uv been doing drugstore brand dupes for higher end products...But can u do more dupes that can be found in or r readily available in USA retailers or online stores?

  • Great I wish I would have seen this video BEFORE I purchased Moon beam and Girl Meets Pearl, I guess it doesn't really matter anyway, I'm in the US, I just realized that he's in the UK, LOL! Youtube makes you forget those things sometimes seeing how we all feel so connected.

  • I LOVE THIS! I went out an bought it today! :) x

  • Goss... the website you have listed is incorrect! The correct one is mememecosmetics(dot)co(dot)uk

  • How excellent! By the way - and I know I'm quoting the masses here - that wink KILLS me. Keep it up Wayne, yah make me happy!

  • Hi Wayne! I have had this MEMEME product for ages and I love it, they also do the pink and the gold but I have the pink.

  • It's too bad that none of The dupe you show are available in France!

    In which UK drugstore can i get these brands?

  • Hopefully this brand comes to Canada soon. Shoppers Drug Mart here carries some brands that nowhere else carries. I recently discovered that we now have Essence (German brand). Their eye shadows are like butter!

  • if only you'd posted this video last week... COZ I WENT AND BOUGHT HIGH BEAM ON SATURDAY!!!:'( </3

  • wayne I hope you do realize we can't trust ANY other makeup-person's review after discovering you, do you!? i mean, I still enjoy them, but I won't buy any of that stuff just for seeing them use or liking it...You actually exorcised the haul-spell..at least for me! Thanks

  • I'm so in love with you!! I love these reviews!! you are money saver!!! and thank you so much !!

  • u are so awesome <3 love your dupe videoss sooo much 

  • love your dupe videos!!

    but just a little thing, the link in the bottombar isn't correct

    should be with co.uk at the end ;)

  • Orgasm Illuminator and MACs Rose Ole works well for my NW50 (MAC) skin tone, the NARS Multiple is waaay too glittery for a Highlighter for darker complexions I think. THX Goss, ur a genius!

  • thanks for the tip about women of colour

  • I've said this before, but you tube is FULL of dupe videos for products that are only available in th USA. Just do a you tube search for 'Dupe' and Product you're looking for. As Wayne is based in the UK it makes sense for him to review the Dupes that are available here. He is the ONLY person on you tube doing reviews of Dupes that are available here in the UK, and we love him for it! :)

  • @loobsy1 I agree, it makes such a change to have dupe videos for products that are available in the UK, keep it up Wayne!

  • @loobsy1 plus some of these products are available through the internet. im from the caribbean not even the usa and i have found a lot of them in different web sites including ebay

  • Wayne. I wish you would find dupes for those of us in the States = (

  • The Conversion is - 1g is equal to 1ml - therefore the Benefit is a whopping £2:64 per ml and the Me me me is 43p per ml. Basically, you are paying £5:25 for the Me me me and it is nearly double the size for a third of the price!

  • Pleassse, dou you know dupes of cream for wrinkles???? I need products more cheap and easy to find ( and send to my countrie ) for skin care. Especially for wrinkles and signs.

    Thanks.

    Xoxo from Brasil

  • hi wayne ! Can i get this in the US?

  • Glad you finally changed that damn flannel shirt! lol kidding, I know you did em all on the same day ;)

  • Love your videos! Would love to see some dupes available in the US xo

  • @AnniesBeautyLife For 'economy' options though, I can't really think of any really cheap brands here that are available in the USA too - except elf maybe? An elf dupes video would be fab!

  • @xchampbearx Yes some ELF products are great! they're bronzer and brushes are really good, sadly not a fan of their nail polishes tho, chips after one day :( some NYC products can be good (loose diamond eye shadow) & lipsticks for $.99!

  • LOVE this series it's super great. Only problem is they are all UK/European brands :(

  • Wayne I have two requests, one being the Wet & Wild Color Icon eyeshadow Palettes that cost $5.00 or less in drug stores, and the other item is BB Cream aka Mee Cha found on Ebay and Amozon, I found mine on Ebay for $6.67I would love to see the review you would give these products. Thank

  • It's 12 grams Wayne :D

  • I been saving lots of money since I started to watch your videos! :)

    Thanks

  • Is it just me or is he just really hot? I'm married but I wouldn't mind if he did my makeup lol :-) I've been thinking about getting High beam for a while so you've saved me from doing so. I will have to have a butchers when I next have money at more accessorize and MEMEME stuff :-) Thanks for much for sharing these with us x

  • any foundation dupes??

  • I have benefit high beam, but i never really used it much because I wasn't sure what to do with it (it was a gift). maybe i will now that i have an idea as to how to use it :) thanks wayne!

  • Are you married? You have got a ring on!

  • Can we lay off the CAPS LOCK for a little while? lol

  • thank you for the dupe idea qnd for your honesty!

  • Love love love love these dupe videos!!!!!

  • are you ok Wayne?? You kinda look sad.. :(

  • Love love these dupe videos Wayne, went to superdrug yesterday and bought every single product you mentioned in your dupe products. Great for a skint student! :)

  • thank you so much for this video. I will definitely check it out! xx

  • Love this dupe! ThanKs so much!!!

  • Love your dupes. Unfortunately we dont have those dupes here in Austria :(

  • i love your dupes! super helpful, thank you!

  • I love these videos! (: Thanks, Wayne!

  • Love love love the dupes carry on :)

  • i looooooove these videos. can you compare the sleek primer palette and the flash palette? (:

  • would be great to see u do a tutorial using cheap makeup products - just to see how well they actually look :))

  • another reat dupe for the benefit moonbeam is the elf facial whip in lilac petal

  • @joancover0389 lolo..my gawd, when I saw this I was thinking the same thing..1 buck and it gives the same effect!!! :))

  • either you filmed like 5o videos in 1 day or you really like that shirt^^

    I think I`m starting to like than shirt lol

  • :( i love your dupe videos but i live in the us! so depressing!!

  • 1ml = 1g <3 x

  • According to converunits 1gr equals 1 ml.... :)

  • You are the best guru ever!

  • You are the dupe king

  • I love your videos!

  • So sad we can't buy it in the US, however I did email the company and they emailed me back and stated shipping to the US was probably in the works soon!

  • If only i could buy Mememe.. I can't even order online because they don't ship to the US. Another thing is that half of (if not all) the things you're mentioning in the duplicate series are products that aren't available in the US, so I can't buy them. But that kind of gives me an excuse to go to Sephora to check out the pricey versions. =)

  • I WANA GO TO LONDON TO BUY ALL THESE DUPES OMG! I even live in europe but I can't find brands like that :'(

  • you're sooo nice!!!

  • Have you ever tried NYX lip liners? I would like to know if they would be a dupe for MAC lip liners... :D

  • im not so much abt the makeup, i just like you. bonus is tht u hav a no-fluff attitude abt things. its nice.

  • Love your videos

  • Oh god, i wasted 20 quid on that high beam not so long ago in boots! wish you made this sooner LOL!

  • i really love how honest your video's are, and showing how drugstore make up is just as good and you don't need to pay stupid prices.

  • I really do love you, you're a makeup god.

  • When using this product under foundation will this give me that "glow from within" look? Lol! jk. Thanks for all the great reviews

  • Can you do a drugstore makeup tutorial?

  • Another great dupe. I try to use mostly all matte products as I'm not 20 anymore, ha, and then add back just a touch of highlight instead of using glittery products. Thanks

  • Thank you, Wayne! but the link doesn´t work...:(

  • Wayne, I think an easy way to make your own highlighter -- for any skin tone -- would be to mix a bit of mica, or pigment, with a small amount of moisturizer. I've done this. Not sure if it's as good as store bought, but I can control the amount of shimmer, and the shade. :-)

  • I just came back after picking up Boots No.7 High Lights for $13 and then saw this video about Highbeam's dupe! I was "really" hoping you'd say Highlights was the dupe to make me extra happy about my purchase...Well, whatever! :) Not sure if the pinky glisten will suit my deep NC42 skintone! I think golden/bronzy shades suit me better. Do you know any highlights for deeper skintone?

  • the boots no.7 makeup line at target has a dupe for highbeam called highlights and its twice the amount and its about $7 for those in the US :)

  • I dont think they ship to the US =(

  • Dammit Wayne! You just made me order a bunch of products from mememe :b

    Just joking, THANK YOU

  • thanks for this! :)

  • I hate you for doing so many amazing dupes that I can't get in the US :(

  • i'm running the risk of sounding repetitive, so i'll just say thanks again :)

  • Aaaan now there's something I need to buy!

  • i love you, you're amazing

  • I love your videos because, apart from the fact that the context is great, they are short and you upload them very often! You're great (Y)

  • Thanks again for all the time, money, and effort you've spent finding some great dupes of some great products! Hugs, Summer :)

  • another great dupe video - thanx :-)

  • The website you have in your description box is wrong ? .. it's mememecosmetics.co.uk

  • @neelma885 I've tried the No 7 and it is quite a close dupe to High Beam, I really like it, but its not as cheap as the MEMEME ones

  • I really enjoy your dupe videos... actually I enjoy all your vids! :)

  • I really enjoy your dupe videos... actually I enjoy all your vids! :) 

  • Lovin' you Wayne..aint no dupe for YOU!

  • @2blueyez1 hihihi ...So true ^^, 

  • @2blueyez1 GREAT COMMENT...couldn't of said it better :)

  • @2blueyez1 so true! this comment made my day hahah! :)

  • loving the dupe series!

  • Where is "hate"?

  • Is the shimmer as fine as in High Beam? It looks almost metallic. I love High Beam because it's so subtle...

  • Thanks again!

  • Have you ever used BB Creams? If so what is your opinion of them? Thanks

  • @Maddy622 xsparkagex did a review on those :P

  • I'm so gonna get this!!!

  • so sorry for your loos, you are amazing!

  • Every video counts!!

  • I like ELF shimmering facial whip as a dupe for high beam. They have several shades. As a WOC I like their golden peach and toasted shade. Best thing is they are cheap. One dollar USD.

  • Excellent video

  • 7g will be 7ml, so 5g/ml extra :)x

  • Amazing value!!!!!!

  • I love your videos Wayne, but the dupe thing is getting boring for me now... I don't want to offend you I stil think you are amazing :D

  • @LydzieeBoo I couldn't disagree more, I LOVE these videos

  • i love these videos!

    also i have a fancy dress party coming up and i need proper costume makeup, and i remembered the rave reviews you gave of ben nye products! so i just bought some off screenface and mentioned your name! :)

  • keep them coming wayne thank you.x

  • oh wayne your sexy thang :P I love your dupes videos x

  • are u gay or straight?? just wondering because your wearing a wedding ring anndd yeahh....

  • @TheLalalisa he prefers not to say. He's made that clear in loads of videos :)

  • Sorry Wayne I own both products...there's no way you can compare the two. Benefit it's certainly overpriced but it really gives a gorgeous sheen to the skin...that Mememe highlighter sucks like hell...it just leaves a pink yucky stripe on your face and when it dries up it just makes your face look even worse. one of the worst products I own actually...you should really look better into these dupes...IMHO. cheers

  • @assoossa how does the mememe highlighter leave a stripe when it's liquid? Is it not blendable or something? It looked like it blended pretty easily on the back of Wayne's hand.

  • @sofeecat yes it's liquid but when you actually blend it in you are left with a very noticeable pink mark (and I mean a true pink shade). The benefit highbeem instead is more sheer in color, it's pretty much just a sheen.

    Also the Mememe one when it dries up on your skin it feels gunky and cakey on your face : /

    Try the Elf one, I'm using it now and it's the best cheap version for me.

    Btw, I'm a NC15-20 and on me the pink was very obvious.

  • @assoossa Thanks for the info :) I'm an NC20 also as well as a highlight addict, so I love trying new ones. I would hate it to leave a pink stain though ... I barely even wear blusher so that would be a nightmare for me. I love the no7 one, find that works really nicely.

  • Type in the search box : Drugstore Highlighters: Good, Bad and the Ugly

    check out her review, you'll understand what I mean... : )

  • @assoossa miow...

  • the body shop also has a very good dupe for highbean!

  • NOT EVEN KIDDING ! ive been debating whether to get high beam for MONTHS, because of the high price but i decided to get it tommorow - NOT ANYMORE ! thanks wayne LOVE IT <3

  • MeMeMe also have dupes for Benefit's Posietint and Benetint - called Poppy Tint and Pussy Cat respectively - also £5.25 each. Also MeMeMe have two shades of the Beat The Blues highlighters - one called Moonbeam and the other is Sunbeam. Moonbeam is suited for more pinky complexions and Sunbeam for more sallow complexions. On the MeMeMe website you can get both tints and highlighters for £15 under the Gifts section. Amazing.

  • Thank you wayne ive been looking for a dude for this :DDDDDDD

  • Out of interest, what do you think of the no7 highlighter - their 'skin illuminator'? If anyone's tried it actually I'd be interested to hear what you think :)

  • @sofeecat Very nice. And lasts ages.

  • @sofeecat I've got one, I like it better than the benefit moon beam! However, I trimmed the brush bristles off because it was crap XD

  • @PurpleFairyWings @MissReady2Wear Thanks guys! I've got it in the pinkier colour and I love it, but I never hear anyone talk about it on here. I was starting to think it was just me. And yeah, I actually squeezed mine out into a sample jar because the brush getting clumpy was pissing me off so much :D

  • @sofeecat I own that, I really love it! You can mix it in with your foundation or (my preference) dab it on your cheekbones, bridge of nose and, the peek of your lips.

  • @eaw1586 That's where I put it too! Except I normally put it on under my foundation for more of a glowy look. Mixing it is a good idea though, thanks :)

  • All us "US" girls keep mentioning ELF. I just bought $35.00 worth of ELF and I am just blown away. Most products are $1.00.. And they are really, really good..Especially the brushes. Please do a review. US girls all LOVE WAYNE GOSS XOXO

  • i have this!! i love it :)

  • Are you still doing facial exercises ? I've doing doing them since and I'm happy with the results)

  • Thanks !!!!!

  • i love these dupe videos. check out boots natural collection blushes. they have a few mac dupes!!!

  • I love you dupe series but I'm CRAVING your tutorials! <3 <3

  • love your video because i konow your are honest

  • Really nice website Goss, I certainly will make soon an order even if I'm italian, the prices are amazing!
