Today I’m putting the $22 Alter Ego Mystique palette side-by-side with the $129 Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette. Can you tell which eye is which?

I was watching for a palette review and realized i was watching a true and useful eyeshadow tutorial. Thanks!

The finished look is really beautiful. and you were right, the browbone highlight made a difference for the better❤

@ritahertzberg5762 2 ай бұрын

Love the AE blendability! Love these gorgeous colors! My ex-husband used to refer to these shades as “ham eyes” when I wore them back in the ‘80s…obviously he had to go 😉

@fourducksoriginal 2 ай бұрын

I love the look too. I don't get the " ham" reference, but if it's from someone who hates the sight of vivid color, his opinion isn't of much value or relevance to me, anyway!

You are absolutely right. We don’t need to be color averse. Your look proves that. The ColourPop Aurora Struck palette is colorful in a more subtle way for those who are reluctant to go colorful.

The eyes r giving peacock vibes in the most beautiful sense of the word! I usually shy away from colors, but I think I will start practicing this technique on my eyes before washing my makeup off for the night! That way, if I look totally insane, I’m just gonna wash it off anyway! You made that look super nice and super easy! Nice work Shelly! I cannot tell the looks apart! GO ALTER EGO! 👍🏽

It’s a beautiful look you put together! I love that you did the pop of silver on the brow bone. And then the face look complemented the eye look so well. It’s so great that people can get the same look with each palette. Thank you, Shelly, for taking the time to do the swatches and comparisons! It’s fun to guess which one is ND and which is AE.

Ok Shelly, I’ve got to look at all of Alter Egos palettes and purchase one. You do such gorgeous eye looks, no, you do such gorgeous makeup looks. You’re spunky tonight! Love your silliness and positive energy. Thank you for another gorgeous eye look. Love the side by sides. This was different and fun.

This look turned out to be so Gorgeous I Must bring out my ND pallet out of hiding. I don’t think I have ever even used it. The shade placement is so chaotic it was intimidating for me. Thanks to this Alter Ego pallet I will now reorganize my ND pallet. 💜🧡💜

Alter Ego please make the dupe to Natasha Denona I Need A Nude Palette!!! Also bring back Shadow Kiss please cause I need a dupe to the Glam Palette!!! One last thing, can you make a foundation please? I bet it would be a fabulous foundation!! As always thank you Shelly!! I get my Mystique in the mail today 😊 I always use your code when I purchase from Alter Ego 🥰 I love the eye look!! ❤

I wish Alter Ego would restock the older palette. I try to buy the new ones as they come out if they are in the color ranges I like. I’m not picking this one up because I don’t do much color. It’s perfect for people who can do color, though. Awesome.

@SarahMcAshan Ай бұрын

oh, I think the added lashes work really well here, balanced by and balancing the bright shadow colors! Overall a great look! I called the two sides--I based it on the slightly-higher opacity of that lavender-shifted silver; I assumed the higher-payoff one would be Denona's. But that really only showed up in the swatch and the initial application close-up. The final look, both sides look the same. And, oh wait, could it be I NEED A NUDE that I want duped so bad? Could it be? :😆

@ultrasoundangie6786 Ай бұрын

Definitely would like the ND I need a nude. also will you please restock the Sakura palette?

A little birdie at Alter Ego told me that we will be very happy soon both in terms of new releases and restocks :)

WOW! Absolutely gorgeous! I hope you're going to take this look out to dinner ❤😍😘. I could not tell the difference between the two, even when you revealed. Beautiful, polished finished look, Shelley. Can't get Alter Ego here in Australia 😪.

@goow Ай бұрын

Hopefully they'll see the comments and open up international shipping!!

@amandaf5664 Ай бұрын

Their website says they ship to most countries with the exception of "Balkans, Belarus, Burma, Cote d'Ivoire, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and Zimbabwe". So you should be able to get them but they will not be at the price point of USD22. Here in NZ they appear as USD37 each.

@louisemcmillan3576 Ай бұрын

@@amandaf5664 Thank you, Amanda. Yes, I see that it would be USD $57 (including shipping) which is AUD $85.60. Which is kinda pricey for a dupe. I guess what I really meant to say was, I wished we could access Alter Ego from an outlet here in Australia, like say Sephora or Glam Raider. Hopefully an Aussie and New Zealand outlet will soon realise it would be worth theirwhile to stock Alter Ego, as I think they would easily sell out of their products. Fingers-crossed my fellow antipodean ☺ x

@amandaf5664 Ай бұрын

@@louisemcmillan3576 Oh yes! I never looked at shipping costs coz USD37 is NZD62 which is still very pricey for a palette :(. An original ND would cost NZD139 (USD83.40). Colourpop is a good option :).
