  • I actually liked the MAC side more. That side was brighter and more lifted and youthful, but that might just be because of the choice of color and maybe your foundation is a lighter shade on that side. Otherwise the ELF products seem pretty good too.

  • this is the first video i've ever seen of you and you are so funny!! subbed!!! =D

  • Mac is expensive and it is good stuff, but ELF has good quality makeup too and is less expensive. some people say its crap because of a few problems but thats in all makeup brands.

  • I've have been always doubtful of ELF because they are so cheap... but they do seem to be a nice brand. Thanks for the advice, i will try more of they're products. Anything you would recommend for combination skin (dry and oily) ? Btw, you speak Spanish, comadre, instant sub.

  • Thank you for demonstrating the difference between high-end and low-end. I don't have money and I hate when people say that high-end always is better. It's not always true but I understand people love their high-end makeup. :)

  • Its amusing cause her foundation is smashbox which is expensive as fuck.

  • @KTclarkemullen How do you know? Did she say that and I missed it?

  • @MtnSnowflake she held it up :')

  • but to be honest the mac side looks better and the colour is more vibrant.

  • @HandMadeFacez Well, I guess it may be hard to compare them both considering that they are two different looks. But based on quality, color pigmentation, and versatility, both MAC and ELF are comparable. This could be another shopping lesson in general. Like comapny brand versus store brand. All I do is look at the INGREDIENTS and choose which one is CHEAPER!! :P

  • I like the cheap side better thats probablly cause you used diferent colors

  • I was going to ay up to buy a 20 dollar mac eye shadow..because I've never had a mac product but instead went to targettt/:3 and got about 15 elf products:3 best desiction ever!

  • you say Target all fancy-like. :3

  • AMEN, SISTER! Its just make up and they do the same shit!

  • my friend is all MAC makeup person and im like a cheap-average makeup person. and she says that the cheap-average makeup sucks and it gives u more acne. but i disagree with her. expensive DOESN'T always mean its better. its just my opinion.

  • @narikim95 your right with makeup you have to shop high and low for brushes u should spend a little bit more....

  • @narikim95 That's very true. A lot of high-end brands have fillers like cornstarch in their products, which cause acne anyway. But on the other hand, cheaper drugstore brands may also have mineral-based products which are more easier on your pores.

  • I think that it would have been a better comparison if the colors were more exact then a limeish green compared to the dark green, I prefer MAC, just because the pigments show and last better, but that's just me..

  • @OkieGirl1997 i think you just need a great eye primer for the colors to last longer..

  • Would it kill you to have a better attitude?

  • @Chelsearocks147 She didn't have a bad attitude. Wth are you talking about?

  • snobby side looks better though..you can see the pigments better.

  • mac side looks better on the skin wise because they use a different type of science to do their skin make up rather than just glitter (i think), but eye wise your a pro lol so anything will look amazing on you. and elf has good products

  • Wow, the better looking side is the cheap stuff, yey! :D

  • just came across ur video and i loved it......cant wait ti subscribe! :)

  • i love ur attitude that y im subscribing u =)

  • I totally get the point you are trying to make, but I like the MAC side better, it just looks richer and has more depth and sheen to it.

  • I like it :)

  • You look like amber from teen mom!

  • I actually like the MAC side better. I like the minty color. I got confused that the green side was elf. If it was elf I would of went out and bought it in a second.

  • love ur videoo !!

    

  • "cheap shit" lol

  • yes Bitch!!! tHANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. yOU HAVE SHOWED A lot OF aPRIRING MUA TO GET SMART!!!

  • my god it bothers the crap out of me when someone pronounces Target as Tar-jey.

    but I can't believe the better looking side is the ELF makeup. I so thought that was MAC.

  • This is my first time seeing one of your videos and this was kick ass! I love your style and not feelin make up snobs. If your talented you can rock any brand.

  • Cheap shit.. Lmfao..

  • wow!!!!!!!!!! that was amazing u got me i thought the cheap side was mac!!!!!!!!!! damn i'm all stunned!!! great vid!!

  • I don't just "like" this video, I freakin' love it!

  • Dang. Cheap side looks better.

    Yeah, I've seen so many gurus review cheaper products because viewers ask, and they have such a shit attitude about it, like it's so below them.

    The kicker is, most of the ones who act like that LIVE AT HOME! You're not better than someone who works and lives on his/her own who budgets just because you can afford better stuff due to your living with mommy and daddy in your 20s.

    God...

  • @AshillaBeige OMGoodness. You are absolutely right! There is a very very popular guru on YT who blocked my sub. to her channel because I commented that her attitude about non-highend makeup was shitty. This girl here demonstates what I have always known. If you have good product knowledge & talent you can make the cheapest makeup look amazing.

  • their dollar, their cheap, they get the job there. i love u....

  • two thumbs up, so true!!

  • Thx girl!! I should've seen this before I bought my Mac palette! No more Mac for me!

  • megusta mas elf

  • which side would last longer throught the day tho??? thats my only trouble with drugstore stuff is it doesnt last :(

  • @LetsMakeUp21

    thats why you apply a base first, so that the colors wil last longer... it doesnt really matter if they are drug store, or highend products

  • @chio106 i always do apply a base, but theres most definatly ALWAYS products that dont last (both sides) Some products are just bad...x

  • Wow! Awesome tutorial! :)

  • holy fuck i never bought the elf little quads cos i thought they looked chafa but u just convinced me :] still soooo happy i subbed to you <3 xo.

  • What color do u use in the MAC foundation?

  • well done and well sad. love th e makeup

  • I could tell because the mac side is more vibrant and clear while the other side looks for muddled.

  • What primer did you use???

  • omg girl ur so freaken pretty... love ur videos. nyx work great.

  • wow girl ur freaken awesome!!!

  • I love your personality so much I am subscribing!!!!

  • i freakin love you..i try to preach the saaaame shit to the girls on my makeup page..ill be DAMNED if ima pay 20bucks on a lil itty bitty thing of eye shadow..negative!! lol

  • targae :) 

  • <3 this video!

  • Your welcome biatch!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love this video, and I agree you can make any kind of makeup work specially when you use the correct bases and/or primers!

    I love all kinds of makeup specially NYX Ima cheap bitch too but I'm still a MAC whore sometimes lol

  • it's about time someone post a video! and i'm glad it came from you haha you're def the most real person here on yt. i love doing my makeup, and the most expensive thing i own is the 88 pallet from coastal scents, and my makeup comes out pretty damn good everyday. :) i'm too poor to buy mac and shit haha

  • @mmmcorty a video like this*

  • aawww.....it was the "have" side vs the "have not" side....LOVE THE ELF side by the way!! u can make ANY make up look good, its all in how n where u use it :D

    ^5 girlfriend! love u n your videos!!  *~MAWH~*

  • ya i spend more money on face products and buy eyeshadows cheap cause there is alot of good ones out there that arent name brand that work better! Luv tha video gurl =)

  • Hell yah TAR GET! hahahaha

  • Your so Pretty!!

  • Great vid. A true makeup artist can work with damn near anything. Great points.

  • Hey i have a ???

    Es cierto que el maquillaje de bitchslap no es realmente de esa compañia?! Osea he leido que ellos compran maquillaje de wholesale y nada mas le ponen un sticker que dice bitchslap. Es verdad o no? Yo queria comprar de esos cosmeticos porque me gustan un chingo tus videos y tus looks son bien padrisimos

  • @rileygirljhs08 todas las companias que miras aqui en net compran todo de un manufacturer! ninguna company makes their own stuff!

  • @MzMaKeUpArTizT oooooohhhh ok girl no sabia...me encantan tus videos! y gracias por la info!

  • Damn girl u look FIRME!!! jajaja un millon de estrellas para las gueritas bonitas!!!!

    Mucho amor!!!!

    O i just subbed btw

  • I actually like the colour of the Rimmel Stay Matte better than the MAC that you used :) Great video to show that you can look amazing with whatever you can realistically afford!!!

  • :) i totally thought the right side was mac. it looks GOOOD

  • its so hard now a days to see whats good and well you see a lot of gurus using highend makeup and it kindoff make you want to buy it but ive learned that theres only certain things you should spend a good deal of money and theres other things you should just go for the great bargain

  • @ngonza09 yes! i tend to buy the more expensive face stuff! but not for the eyes!

  • very pretty, the way i see it cheap or expensive you're still wiping the shit off , im all for the cheap stuff :0)

  • wow Thats cool.. I need me some jumbo pencils..

  • you're so pretty!

  • Awsome video. I love E.L.F. and Studio Tools brushes. They've never failed on me so I never found the need to have to go and spill a load of cash on MAC brushes. I also think that Eco Tools and Sonia Kashuk brushes are amazing as well for the prices they're retailed at.

  • Yes i luv ELF brushes

  • great tut...love the look, UR SOOO EFFIN AWESOME!!!

    please do more tuts using elf products..

  • ahhh you're the best! =) Thank u!! haha

  • Both sides look really good but i knew witch one was MAC right away, i love my elf stuff but not as much as my MAC

  • please tell me who sing this song!

  • aw i love it. im just in high school and have a minimum wedge job so i cant buy expensive stuff. i mean i do spend MOST of my money on makeup but its cheaper brands so i can get more for my money you know? the only thing i would get from like mac or somewhere is foundation maybe and thats a big MAYBE lol.

  • @Letta510 that's very smart of you. i regret blowing a lot of my money on high end stuff that i don't even really use. i love sephora and mac, but nowadays i just spend money on things i really really really want or just need. if i could go back to your age, i totally would have saved my money and instead i ended up having bad credit because of being a shopaholic. it's not worth it...all the material possession in the world doesn't compare to a good eduation.

  • i do makeup on the side for extra money. i have a lot of mac, but i really just have them just for show. When people wanna ask what i use, i say Mac (and i do) but there are other lesser know brands that are just as good if not better. so when i you open my makeup case all my MAc is on the top. LOL

  • thank you so much for doing this video ! i've always loved elf and i was thinking about switching to mac, but then you showed me you can get the same or even a better look(: thanks again !

  • ah love your videos alondra ! :D

    you should do a video on high end products you think are actually worth the money because i think theres a knida general feeling in the youtube make up community that the bigger the price the better it is lol

    love my brown nyx jumbo pencil i use it everyday :D

    xx

  • This was great! I love elf & Nyx just as much as MAC...wish we could get elf & Nyx as easily in the shops in AU. Thanks so much for this! great comparison & tut. ;)

  • both eyes look great but, the mac foundation, bronzer and blush looks better. but I say buy what you can afford

  • From 7:54 up to the start of the pictures you reminded me of Fergie! :o

  • i love this! its all about the look. if it looks good without the price tag, even better

  • I love Tarjay that's my fave store ;) well you made that elf quad look good girl! I like it better than the mac side, but both are flawless because that's just how you do it =)

  • Very pretty both eyes. I can appreciate what you are saying. I am a Diva on a budget.

  • i heart the mac side...not because its mac, i dont care about price points, but because i love the mint green look. its rare to see such a light eye on you tube. im sure if i used a neutral colored cream base it would turn out about the same for the elf. i love the elf quads. you just need the right brushes and application techniques to make it look nice.

  • I love some of the ELF products...I especially like the bronzer/blush...and the highligther quad...and i also like mac..if its affordable..Some of the ebayers are insane..[pretty much only place i can buy it..]...and they charge ridiculous prices...I see brushes on there for 65$...and u know at the store it's only 22...just nuts..

  • @MercedesGames i know!! alot of ppl take advantage because they know there are girls out there, specially the younger ones with no experience that don't know much about brands and/or prices

  • @MercedesGames this was an awesome video for sure. people forgetr that marketers are great at feeding people bullshit to get them to waste their money. I've been suckered a few times and then I tell myself. Well look at NYX they are just as pigmented as MAC. I love BAC but I just hate how they over charge. It's because of the name and bills they have to pay to have their stuff at all at department stores.

  • i looooove this song...who sing?

  • love it ma! u look beautiful!!!

  • ive realized the more i try to expand my make up skills .. you can actually make cheap make up work .. except for nyc and cover girl eyeshadows they suck!! .. awesome vid!! i love how real you are. Elf brushes are awesome!!

  • @MakeUpJunkie00 actually covergirl and nyc work great!! i will do a vid on those soon! =]

  • Haha! My Mom calls it Tarjay as well... She thinks it sounds posh! She so boojy!!!

  • i thought the left side from my side lol was MAc you cant real tell wish one is wish..lol

    this look makes u eyez look light green

  • xD I buy alot of expensive makeup as well as drug store and 90% of the time I dont need to becouse the drug store works BETTER! yea I went there! :D

  • thanks 4 this vid.

    very pretty

  • sweet i love elf brushes eres chingona when it cones to your make up keep them coming me gusto

  • muy bonita

  • Great video....both looks are beautiful, the "cheap side" looks just good as the expensive side or even better as others have said, you can't even tell the difference!!

  • who makes the lip gloss please?

  • @lyricbrodie lipgloss if from cvs pharmacy, its milani!

  • i like the darker side lol

  • u always work it out with whatever shadows.......

  • I noticed right away that the "snobby" side was MAC.

  • @Nyla2120 lol! i know but alot of ppl dont have the money, but for face makeup i deff use m ore expensive stuff!

  • Thanks for showing that the cheap stuff can work the same.

  • i love it

  • i like alllllllllllllll makeup! cheap to high end but MAC is my fav! lol

  • tell'em mamaz!!! im all about beauty on a budget lol

  • loving this vid, any color looks amazing on u sweetie.

  • @Janet2Hot thanks mamas!! =]

  • and one more thing: a lot of viewers who watch guru's buy all these high end stuff, they don't reaiize some of them live at home still with no rent to pay or they just have rich parents. i use to be broke cuz i fell into that crap before too. i had rent and bills to pay and yet i still bought only high end stuff. i started to feel disgusted with myself and decided that i would never be that irresponsible.

  • @gidgetgoes1128 i totally agree with you!! you are so right! i used to spend most on my money on makeup but once i had my son, and bought a house! i stopped splurging! there are bills to pay and mouths to feed now!

  • you go girl! a lot of guru's who only rave about high end stuff don't realize that they have young viewers who can't afford the high end stuff and it sends a wrong. the coswmetic is a multi billon dollar industry because they play into people's insecurity: your only fabulous if you have expensive shit. That's why it's a man's world, because women spend all their money and focus too much on appearnce. thank you for doing this video.

  • i loveeeeeeee the elf n target brushes n the revlon brushes

  • Beautiful, flawless and informative!

  • this is great!

  • OMG I Love this video I love you I adore your eyes and Bang baby those lashes I must have I dont care if they are 1.00 dollar or 20.00 dollars loveing your videos mamaz oxox Melinda

  • I loved this video, eres de las mias lol!!!

  • awesome video! i totally agree you shouldn't go broke trying to buy high end products. the main issue i have with drugstore eyeshadow is the level of color pigmentation.

  • cool vid! funny :)!

  • wow they both look really good.(:

  • i know that right, i will spend cheap they works good and i can't afford all that mac..

  • You're the best makeup artist, ever!

  • i agree 100%

  • how do you speed up ur video this way. I have windows movie maker! Is this effect on this program. Please don't tell me imovies!

  • your eyebrows look great more natural !!! I see you let them grow !!!

  • Too bad I can't buy Elf products in Greece :(

  • both looks are great....love the green :)

  • i like ELF face powders that they sell online i like a mixture of high and low lol

  • for the eyes I liked the "cheap side" better but for the face, the snobby side! 

  • what mac blush did you use???

  • Love the demo!!! I bought all mac & shit because thats what everyone on the tube said was the best....I just started buyin elf and it works just as good!!! Target' has the best selection of elf products!!! I have sigma brushes and the elf/target' brushes work better! I washed my sigma brushes & this black shit started bleeding out of two of them & the hairs dont hold their shape!!!!!! So i am a cheap bitch for now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hey thankz so much 4 the vid :)

  • I love the ELF quads. The punk funk one is amazing!!!

  • yes I love this video!!!!

  • nice video.......elf brushes r the shit 4real!!! i love there blending brushes....now i must admit i do prefer the mac side but both looks really nice.

  • loved the cheap side so much more! you are fucking BEAUTIFUL!

  • I love you girl...I have been telling my friends that are major MAC addicts the very same thing for EVER! OMG I get so sick of hearing that MAC is always the best. I happen to be a HUGE fan of elf and think like you do..price tags don't always make the look. I am glad you did this video. It speaks volumes to have a makeup artist say the same things. I shared this video with all my friends on facebook. ♥

  • lol i love how blunt you are and you speak the truth!!!

  • this is a very good vid, i used to save a lot to shop in MAC.. i realised very late its not all abt the name of the brand cuz some eyeshadows' quality is very bad! waste of money :(

  • i like the elf side but gotta say the mac side atracted me more, i love how it was light in the inner part and fades into a darker colour on the outer corner of ur lid. very nice thnx for sharing this wish i saw this a year ago cos that queenofblending got me soo broke a while ago lol cos i wanted to use what she had in her videos. until i discovered that there r other brands as good as mac but way cheaper so yh ladies shop wisely.

  • With cheap eyeshadows, it's all in the application and a base and primer is key.

    What's Tarjay? Do you mean Target? Lol?

  • @RiseToOffend lmfao yes its target but i say tarjay!! makes it sound more high end! bahahahaha =]

  • they both awesome the only diffrence it s the prices gurllllllllllllll loving htis video i fav it

  • i use cheap brands all the time, like elf and coastal scents and wet and wild even and people ALWAYS ask me if i use mac because they cant tell the difference!! if you know what your doing you can pull off amazing makeup no matter what kind you have

  • awesome video, I love how you mixed it up and had us guess which was which. Cheaper products doesnt always mean crappy quality and I think a lot of people have that misconception. Love both looks! you're GAWJUS!

  • Great point! Very straight forward and blunt! That's what i'm talking about! It's not always about MAC or any high end makeup product. Sometimes I get sick of seeing MAC, MAC, MAC all the time. Im sure just about any makeup comes close and the same. Love the look, and what eyelashes are you wearing?? They are gorgeous!!

  • @mstinale3 those are number 22 lashes from daisysbeauty

  • @MzMaKeUpArTizT : Oh thanks, I never heard of that brand, do you know where I can find it?

  • I love how you play with different coloured bases to get different effects. You are an artist!

  • Both looks are gorgeous! Nd yea there's nothing wrong with drugstore makeup or brushes n shit as long as they work their ok thanks for the tutorial! Have u seen tha makeup brand called hard candy? Get a bronzer in tiki it's great! 

  • @Salazar903 thank you i will deff buy it!! =]

  • love it!

  • thanks for the vid , now im a try asap to get me some elf makeup!!!

  • what up BIATCH... was bomb to chat with ya on the phone this morning glad I could help out with the editing FF----->>>>> LOL... and love both sides I do have a lot of ELF so know it is just as good with the right base :) oh and i got those brushes to love me some Target LOL xxoo

  • I was wrong! :D love the right eye
