************************NOTES AND UPDATES, PLEASE READ************************** 1. I do not know why my eyebrows look so different from each other in this video. It literally looks like I filled one of them in with pencil and not the other. I am 95% sure that's not what happened but I don't know what did happen to make it this way. 2. UPDATE on L'Oréal Telescopic Lash: by the evening it had become so dry and crumbly that a piece crumbled off and got INTO MY EYE and it was a disaster. Will never wear again 3. I think that Makeup Forever has changed the packaging of their redness reducing primer-it used to look a lot more like the L'Oréal product that I reviewed in this video. Or at the very least there used to be some black on the packaging. Anyway when I looked it up I saw that the shape of the tube is currently the only similarity and maybe it's not telegraphing "dupe" as much as I thought. But I'll say this: the L'Oréal Prime Lab Redness Eraser is a SERVE of the highest order and I have not stopped using it since this video. And when I edited this, I was like "girl you don't even need more coverage, why are you going in with the blunder cover." Every day since then it's been Prime Lab and spot concealer only and I love it. Thank you for watching!

I’m a big drugstore makeup fan but I generally feel like the better dupes are the ones that aren’t as obvious. For example the L’Oréal lumi glotion is way better of a product than the Elf Halo Glow. Dupes are also better within parent companies for example L’Oréal has tons of dupes for Lancome

“If you had a bowl full of that fenty lip gloss and you put the back of a spoon on top of it and lifted it up…” another iconic HLP metaphor for the books. Literally no other content creator is out here doing what you do, Hannah, and this is why we stan.

The topic of tone in the Hollywood Flawless filter got me thinking about how I really wish more Brands did Platinum highlighters. Cooler than champagne, warmer than silver, but still very pale.

Hannah the Legend. While everyone and their mother says a mascara gives volume, Hannah says "girth".😂❤🎉🍆

I’m so glad someone is still doing drugstore dupes. High end products are beautiful but pricey. Thanks for doing this

I'd love to see Hannah go on a hunt for nuanced colors at the drugstore. I'm getting pulled in the direction of brands like Rituel de Fille and kind of lost track of desaturated or "weird" colors in ds. (Aside from my nyx go-tos).

I really like how Amanda Z (goddesss that she is) speaks about drug store. They are just good products.They don't have to be attempting to 'dupe' something but have inherent specialness, as a stand alone appreciation. I think this is a much more interesting take that the 'id it a dupe' trope which feels quite stale at this point in beauty ville xx

Yes please do more drugstore dupe videos. Your reviews are so thorough they truly do help us make better purchasing decisions and knowing which drug store dupes are actually worth it is definitely a money saver. Edited to add a video request: I would love a video about how to identify undertones and how to pick out shades of product that match. I have so much redness that I honestly can't tell what undertone I have and I don't know how to pick the appropriate green color corrector or foundation as a result. I have wasted so much money trying shades that don't work for me.

Yes yes yes please do round 2, 3,4,5 etc. I watch all of your videos but unfortunately cannot afford anything you review usually so this is perfect. Thank you so much!

Your descriptions crack me up! 😂 It's so entertaining just listening to you. Gooped and Gagged, the tin man cheek, getting girth with mascara... and then your lip smacking on the nasty drugstore gloss 🤣SO much fun to watch!

I'm happy to see you giving the drug store a shot. I know for some, luxury is an experience. I can understand that, but I think many of us can relate more to just wanting to find good quality products whether they are drug store or high end products. It's nice to learn about fabulous drug store products. Especially from you, because you have such high standards and love high end makeup so much. Andrea Matiliano recently said Flowers liquid highlight is better than the wands from Charolette Tilbury. I ordered them as present for my cousin for her birthday.

Despite the fact that you weren’t impressed with all the products your makeup looked really good! Would love a part 2 of this drugstore series!

We NEED more of these videos! You are the absolute best reviewer and I trust your opinions 100%. So please every once in a while give us more of these ♥️. Edited to say: the Elf Prime and Stay powder ($4.00) to me is a dupe, and maybe better, than the CT Airbrush powder!

i just want to say i personally love how drug store makeup has really upped their game since the rise of sephora etc. 10 or so years ago. allllso this is my first time at your channel and think you are absolutely adorable! ❤

Hannah! I’ve been low key bingeing your videos since I discovered you on the Financial Diet. Your content is linguistically delightful and artistically intriguing - a grand slam every time. ANYway, I would be interested in an eventual follow up on how the Makeup Revolution Balm holds up, because your cheeks look BOMB. ❤

as a drugstore girlie I'm always excited to see a drugstore focused video!

This was really fun. Would love a round 2!

I am so happy to have found a skin twin (shade wise) in Hannah. Today I'm replacing my first tube of Rose Inc concealer. Normally I cast around for a better match when I run out of concealer! Now, I have 0 temptation to try anything else.

Elf has a lot of high end alternative too. Looks like they dupin more recently. I do like the comments on looking for more grungy things at the drugstore! Would love that video!

The revolution cream bronzer is one of my favs, although I think it would be too pigmented for you. And I would love a pt 2!

Wow that L'Oreal color primer really did a great job! Maybe a nice thick moisturizer underneath if you have dry skin.

Heck yes for a Part 2!! I prefer drugstore makeup and love your takes on these items. Great video Hannah!!

I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about that entire line of L’Oréal primers! Edit- the only green corrector that has worked for me has been the Dr. Jart cicapair balm. This might be a good alternative

The ELF Whoa Glow is a great dupe for the Supergoop Glow Screen and in fact, a better product IMO, especially for fair folks. They also have a great dupe for the Nars Audacious lipstick line. ELF coming for it, honestly. And I've heard (but not tried) that the new Revlon foundation is very similar to the new Saie one. I love the marriage of Investigative Hannah Reporting and drugstore prices. There are a lot of duds but also some real gems at the drug store.

Also, I am paying close attention to you creeping closer and closer to 100k LIKE WHAT GURL omg I’ve been here since you were under 30k. That is PHENOMENAL and well-deserved!

Of course we will have in the middle of Europe only the other two Loreal primers available but not the green one. 🙄 I will get crazy watching overseas beauty channels 😆 Slowly but surely. 🥰 Great tips!

when it comes to formula, in my opinion essence shine shine shine lipglosses are the exact dupe of fenty gloss bomb. i went through at least 10 of these over the past few years and they're honestly amazing. i recommend them so much.

So many brands served by not nearly as many labs. Dupes aren’t always obvious from packaging. Drug store so-called products can be so legit. One of my favs is Sephora gel concealer.. no one talks about it and it’s amazing on my 60 year old under eyes. On another note, I love Blunder Cover because I can sponge on sooo little here and there and the formula and match are skin like on me. It can also get makeuppy fast if I use more, or apply with a brush.. which ends up being great for stage. 😁😁😁

I would love it if you did more drugstore complexion (foundation, concealer, bronzer, and contour). I’m really pale and, while I’ve heard that drugstore has gotten better, I don’t want to purchase something if I’m not sure if it’ll match. at least with expensive makeup, I can swatch it in store.

Elf just came out with blushes, contour and highlight that are shoes for those CT wand things. Would love to see your opinion!

a great video would be a review of the brand Essence - it's a german makeup brand that's widely available and beloved in europe, their prices are extremely low but the quality is really high, and their mascaras in particular are extremely good. the only downside is the packaging, which is plain at best and ugly at worst 😅 i think it raises a good point, which is that sometimes the best performing makeup has ugly packaging, so it's not selling the fantasy but it works really well!!

I have two miracle balms. One for a blush tone, and one as a skincare topper/primer. I kinda freaking love them

Random, but what lovely product overlays! No jarring white background on those product pics-well done 👏👏👏

You’re giving Gibson Girl vibes n I love it

GORGEOUS! I'm super impressed with that primer! Magic on your skin!

Loving your hair today. I watched a few of your prior hair tutorials recently-very fun. Inspires me to go big or go home. And to let it go a little bit wild. Thanks, Hannah.

Hi Hannah, I know you have Glow Lust but Tarte also has a Hollywood Flawless Filter dupe. It's called Glow Tape (I think) and the lightest shade might just be light enough for you! I'll look into it!!

the loreal infallible concealers are beautiful full coverage and the lightest shades i find to be rather olive. truly stunning

Oh Hannah, the elf lash n roll is a dupe for the benefit roller lash & I actually love it. The brown version is excellent & the black version is great too! Fantastic content from you, thanks so much for doing this! 🫶

Wow the stiff peaks description 👏👏👏 I don’t care about drugstore that much, but this quality and silliness of description is why I watch every video you put out. ✨

i was surprised not to see more elf in here because i know they have a good few dupes - the hydro primer one is the first that comes to mind

I’m so excited for the L’Oréal green primer! I am pale, a redhead, and have rosacea so green color corrector is an absolute nonnegotiable in my routine. My favorite green color corrector was nyx until I saw you try the exa. Exa is absolutely perfect but I go through it ridiculously quickly! I’ve always wanted to try the fenty gloss bomb but still haven’t. I think maybelline lifter gloss is a close dupe for fenty. It feels really sturdy and moisturizing and has that gorgeous giant doe foot 🤩.

When this video started, my first thought was "her skin looks SO GOOD!" !! You are glowing !! We love when drugstore base products really pull through, and I'm going to have to pick up that green primer asap. I hate the feeling of a lot of makeup on my skin, so this seems like a great way to minimize the amount of foundation I usually use to cover my redness. I think the packaging also looks a lot like the Smashbox green cc primer as well?? It's just a little chunkier of a component.

Hannah, I'm so glad you like the L'Oreal color correcting primer. I love it and use it often with my skin tints or balms, you are spot on with your review. I do have oilier skin and don't mind that it isn't dewy or super 'nourishing' since the tints or balms usually add a little moisture. Sorry you didn't like the telescopic mascara, I really like the waterproof version for Summer.

I would love to see a part 2 and have suggestion for a possible Rose Inc concealer dupe, the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer in Ivory Light 01. It might be hard to find accurate swatches online but in person it’s a very pale and desaturated and almost gray leaning like the Rose Inc.

I love thoughtful dupe videos. Too many influencers jump on the dupe bandwagon but don't actually test the products well. I would love to know if there are any dupes for the Victoria Beckham kajal eyeliner. Pixi looks like it has some color dupes, but I wonder about the product texture and wear time.

I love seeing drug content from you!! 🙌🏻 And I was looking for a product exactly like that Redness Eraser! I'm so excited to see that. Thanks, Hannah! 💜🌻

The Makeup Revolution Glow Balm is making me want to go play with my Canmake Cream Blush 16. I think I bought my first of those on your recommendation.

I do like the Revolution Balm, on the lip. I'm still curious about the Jones Road, but I can't pull the trigger on the bulky plastic packaging. The tin is such a better option.

If you want to try something great from Makeup Revolution please try their cream bronzer. I bought because of Kelly G. and I love it 🥰 But this is the only one product I have from them 😅

A better fenty gloss bomb dupe is the maybelline lip glosses in the square tube. I feel like revolution often don't do good dupes, they can be very hit and miss. But brands that are more consistent (Elf, Loreal, Maybelline, Nyx, Bourjois and may others) are the brands that make the best dupes.

Hannah, your content is incredible, I’m so happy to come across you ❤ your guidance on finding a style as well a the makeup you speak about and mindset in consuming etc…they all come to me at a perfect time :,) really bittersweet. Thank. You. Hannah. ❤

Love a dupe video thank you for doing this! Elf do a great dupe for the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion Primer called the Shadow Lock eye primer. It’s amazing and really stops eyeshadow creasing / sliding off on my slightly oily lids

The video we didn’t know we needed! Yes to more of these. 🧡🧡

I had used the telescopic mascara about 6-7 years ago, and I remember really liking it at the time. Then I decided to repurchase it this year and omg I had SO MUCH flakiness at the end of the day, it made my under eyes look grayish when looking in the mirror. I used it for a few months because it was a pricey mascara for me, but I hated every time I worn it. Now I'm using Maybelline's sky high, and that one works way better for me.

If you like the waxy texture of the Jones road blush, Stila do foundation balms with the same waxy feel

This was great! Part 2 🙌🏻 I would love you to introduce indie brands (skincare as well Makup)& review. ❤ It’s not “indie” but I just purchased drmty uni tint sunscreen. Not sure 🤔 if it deserves all the hype but so far I’m not mad at it.

AAAAAAH I just bought the NYX color correcting concealer because I was nervous the L'Oréal wouldn't be as good as it appeared & I wanted to go w/ something I heard a lot of reviews about, lol. I've recently been putting a dollop on my hand & then adding a squeeze of my primer or moisturizer & it serves a similar purpose, so... I'm not disappointed w/ my purchase, but it's good to know that it's amazing!!

Revolution, for me, shines in the cream bronzer, brow products, cream blush, and the IRL concealer. The strange thing about Revolution is that some of the products I really love, many people don’t care for (and vice versa). Their products seem to be very subjective, I guess is what I’m trying to say.

Love the redness correction!! Can't wait to try it!!

I absolutely loved this video and immediately bought the L’Oréal color corrector, can’t wait to try it! In general I feel like there’s been a little extra love in your videos lately, loving you and your content more than ever 💖

Highly recommend the elf lash n roll mascara - it’s a dupe of the benefit roller lash but better. I haven’t experienced any flaking or smudging with it. 😊

Maybelline Fit Me concealer is a dupe for the Nars one. L’Oreal Lash Paradise is a dupe for Too Faced Better Than Sex. ELF Power Grip primer is a dupe for Milk Hydrogrip. I have no idea if L’Oreal Fresh Wear was inspired by anything high end but throwing it in the ring because it’s the bestest drugstore foundation I’ve ever tried.

The hero cosmetics green sunscreen has that oat smell!!

I've been influenced. I picked up the loreal primer / corrector. It's quite nice!

What a fun change of pace, Hannah. Thanks for sharing these drugstore dupes...I have tried to get the Elf "flawless filter" but it's always sold out at our drugstore, I guess it's still pretty popular... I thought about trying the Lisa Eldridge highlighter as a possible replacement of the Charlotte Tilbury (£26 vs £40). Will it be similar, I wonder?

i’ve been using that prime lab redness corrector as a foundation mixer when i need to desaturate something and it works great that way, too! definitely one of my favorite recent drugstore finds.

Hannah, you are an absolute stunning beauty. Loved your hair up and away from your face today 💕

You’re a delight to watch and your descriptions are fantastic. I have never spent much money on any of my makeup. It just has always felt like such a gamble. I can’t justify to myself spending the high end prices on a product I could end up hating. But I gotta say, your description of the Fenti lip balm ….. hmmm. I’m tempted 😂 Lip products in particular are so hard for me to find. I can usually make all the other products work for me, but I have challenging lips. I have a drawer full of lip products that have disappointed me. I love a good drug store find. I’m very loyal to them once I find them. So, for me, since I have never bought any high end makeup ever, I’m not even interested in dupes per say, just in good products. I end up watching dupe videos just to learn about good inexpensive makeup lol. The primer is also tempting. The brand essence has some mascara that I have gotten a lot of wear out of. I don’t know if you have that brand there. It doesn’t irritate my eyes and does what it claims to do.

I'd love a round 2 of this! I always love your honest and detailed feedback on products.

the content i've been waiting for

I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately (I’m working on spending less $$$). Wish I had done it sooner. You’re amazing and so thoughtful and your voice is so soothing. Love love love. ❤️

Come on ELF! I completely agree that they need a lighter shade in the halo glow! It's too dark for me too and I'm slightly darker than you like 1 shade maybe. Let's pray they come out with more! The CT actually matches me much much better unfortunately because it's so expensive! The Elf shades get dark soooo fast! I have the 3rd shade in it that I use as a bronzer! It's crazy how dark they are. I think we pale girls need to write to elf!

On camera the subtlety of the cheek balm looks very “no makeup” beautiful on you.

I'm just looking at wet 'n wild incognito full coverage concealer, and the shades look like you'd really like them. they're very desaturated, olivey, greigey. wonder if one could be a blush for you??

Hannah - I keep having this fantasy of you going to a shop that sells organic essential oils and I see you swatching the oils on your wrist, mixing the oils as you swatch them, etc.

These drugstore concealers are bangers for mature textured under eyes in my opinion and I highly recommend them: 1. Makeup revolution conceal and define concealer, 2. Makeup revolution illuminating under eye concealer with vitamin c (i wear shade Fair), and 3. Nyx bare with me concealer serum (I wear lightest shade) and a little goes a long way with the nyx one, I just aim for a half pump with that one. These are all so good, I have no use for the expensive kosas concealer anymore for under eyes. Only higher end ones I still like include the becca under eye corrector in pot and the glossier stretch concealer in pot.

If you want to try Makeup Revolution *good* products, here are my absolute "holy grail for longer than a year" favorites - I wear them almost if not every time I do my makeup, and I can't recommend them enough!: - Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream bronzer - I know you're not a huge fan of bronzers, but maybe a darker shade as an extravagant blush? Formula is so good, and the 'medium' shade is a perfect cooler tone with olive undertones. It will be too dark for you though... - Makeup Revolution Fast Base Blush - it's a cream stick blush and its soo creamy and dewy and blendable and starts of super sheer (the light shades!) but buildable. I love the schades 'baby' (super light warm nudey-pink) and 'Bare' (neutral pink) the most, I think you might like "Mauve' the best - it's not actually a mauve schade, but a warm nude-brown schade. Or you might like 'baby'? The brighter/darker shades are also really pretty, but they are really opaque and bright, which is actually good for darker skin-tones, i use the ''rose' and 'bloom' shades in the summer as an extremely bright pop. Honestly, I have stopped using any other cream blushes, these are all I need.. - their shadows are not bad, but I don't think they are anything special. The rest of the products I don't think I've tried recently. Love your videos so much!

I know I am random as hell but I love your eyebrows! I wish I could get my shape like yours!

I so enjoy your content💕 The words you choose make hearing about makeup poetic somehow 😂

Love some drugstore dupes I actually kinda like that you used an existing foundation. Sometimes when a product misbehaves it can be hard to pinpoint the issue if they’re all new.

Loved this! Sand would very much enjoy a part 2. Throwing in my suggestion to try the Palladio Beauty lip oil - it’s not really a color or packaging dupe, but it reminds me a lot of the Merit lip oil!

If you're going to do a whole video on makeup revolution don't come at it with the attitude that they're a "dupe brand". They have a huge product range and they've been so successful in a short amount of time by being the only brand making trendy makeup accessible on the British high street. When I was a teenager trends were dictated by what you could buy at boots and superdrug. Now people are being influenced by social media and can order a £50 eyeshadow palette on buy now pay later and get themselves into debt over a piece of makeup. Brands like makeup revolution are needed.

Lol I love your content so much, I am eagerly watching, even though this particular assortment of products happens to cover only things I don't use. Haha, you're helping me stick to my "replacements as needed only" rule... always helps to learn more about complexion products & whats available tho, finding my fave tinted moisturizers has been a lot of work, and one shows signs that a rebrand, reformulation, or discontinuation is in the works.

Love this video, like a wee palette cleanser!

Great! Thanks! I'd love to see more! If I can buy a less expensive version, I'm there!

I think you might like Tarte Maracuja Oil Glow Skin Tint. It has good coverage. It really brings life to my very dry skin. Love the glow and it keeps my skin from drying out, but it could work for normal skin as well. I'm fair to light and use the Fair Light Neutral.

I was considering that L'oreal green primer but I saw den alcohol in the in the ingredients and i was worried it would make my sensitive dehydrated skin worse over time. I tried a sample of the makeup forever and liked it.

Ooo, this was a really fun one! More of this please!! As for Revolution products... the only one I've ever used is the Blur Stick Bright primer. Not sure what its duping, but I like the formula. I think the stick itself is too wide though. ETA, I'm excited to try the L'Oreal color corrector. I have rosacea and your other videos have opened the world of green color correctors to me. I tried the Makeup Forever and liked what it did for me, but found that it really aggravated my skin and made my rosacea flare and the problem worse when it wasn't actively on my face. Plus, as you point out, it's way too pricey for what you get.

The blush balm looks so amazing, might be worth the fuzz

I would LOVE more drugstore makeup videos. Sephora simply is not in my budget. I will purchase an occasional product, but 90% of my makeup is from the drugstore.

The new Milani tubing mascara is a spot of dupe for the thrive mascara!

I think you would really love the Milk Future Fluid concealer. Very full coverage and they have very pale desaturated shades

MOB Beauty just released a foundation line with an amazing shade range including the fairest olive! Mentioning since you have a hard time with shade ranges for complexion products. All of their products I've tried are amazing, and their ethics are 👌

Actually, I would say MAC was the first to do the giant doe foot with their lipglass, I have two glosses from a Wonder Woman collection they did 10+ years ago and they are _massive_ lol also the Loreal colour corrector primer has me shook 👀

I’m interested in more reasonably priced brands, but I tend to stay in the ELF, NYX and Colorpop lane. Occasionally I try a drugstore eyeshadow or something that catches my eye, with mixed results. Ironically that green color corrector did recently catch my eye, and it’s in my makeup drawer, waiting for it’s debut! I was excited to see you try it and will get to doing so myself soon

I just enjoy drugstore makeup for its own sake. I find them fun to explore and experiment with.

I can't even imagine what the Revolution gloss smells like when I absolutely HATE with passion the smell of the Fenty one. It reminds me of the inside of a dusty 1998 Volkswagen Polo coupled with a sickly sweet vanilla car air freshener.

Love a review of products I can afford.
