This 78 year old purchased the Daylight pallette a couple of months ago (or thereabouts) and have loved using it. I can't afford ND so I'm very thankful to have something that has the look but at a sensible price. You always look so lovely and you don't seem to notice that. I like that about you and watching you! Thanks, Mandy.
I’m so glad u did this! I’m so excited to try alter ego brushes and palette! I can’t justify spending the money so it truly is nice you and alter ego have done this for us!
Very subtle difference in the way the sheens reflect off your eyes. I like the way ND's sheen looks. It's like an airbrushed look which is very classy.
Mandy, I found one on Amazon that is a great dupe. Lamora Nude Eyeshadow Palette. $9.99. It’s only a 12 pan but still.. I cannot guarantee it’s a dupe as I do NOT own the Natasha Denona palette. But it works for me! I love it! And as a 43 year old who prefers punchy shimmers, I have found that by using an eyeshadow primer and then setting it with powder before using my shimmer shades, the creases are minimized if not completely diminished. You probably already know this. But I just wanted to be helpful! Your eyeshadow tutorials are the ONLY ones I’ve been able to follow and actually successfully duplicate. So thank you so much!! Now if I could just get the rest of me to look exactly like you… lol. ❤
I also bought that pallet recommended by Risa Does Makeup, I believe. I've used it twice & got an eye infection each time. Have you had any issues with the pallet? Don't know if it's a coincidence, but definitely tossing the pallet. What a shame!
Mandy you look amazing on both sides with these two palettes. Sixty-two tears young and on a tight budget. I’m thrilled that Alter Ego duped the ND palette. It’s on my wish list and I will get it this year. Love the colors and can’t wait to try it out. Your hair is amazing today, too. Make the rest of your Day a Good One.🌻
I know when AE has sales, they usually don't apply the promo codes to their latest releases, but maybe by Thanksgiving (always a sale) they'll be applicable, or the affiliate codes may apply too. In short, if you aren't on their email list, you should be.
I love this video... pretty amazing! And I think the way you wear / apply your eyeshadow is stunning.... I definitely have learned alot from watching your application and overall style. Definitely a style that I try to emulate in some of my looks.
Great video Mandy! You always do a great job with your eyes! I like the ND better. There is a subtle difference between the two palettes, especially the light shimmer shades. The ND shadows looked like they blended easier than the AE. I would purchase the ND but it is nice to have a more affordable option.
Both look great on you. The AE pink seems much warmer than ND on my screen. The more refined formula of ND is clear, but definitely could reproduce the “look” with the less expensive pallet. Thank you for the comparison.
The Daylight Palette is different in terms of formulas, but I actually find it more wearable than I Need A Nude, which I find more event or holiday friendly. I do really like Sheen in the I need a nude palette, and it wasn't replicated in the Daylight.
Hi Mandy. Thank you for such a great video. I already have the I Need A Nude palette, but I now know I can recommend the Alter Ego palettes as options for those who are not really able to purchase all of the palettes ND releases.
Oh AMAZING!! Alter Ego are finally shipping to Australia too!! :D I was going to try and pick up the I Need a Nude later this year at the Sephora sale, but why pay $125AUD when I can pay $37AUD? They look close enough. 😊 Thanks for the comparison!
I know you didn’t ask me but I have both. I would buy ND. Their eyeshadow formula is amazing and the shades are a better for natural. The UD naked palette is dated to me and the formula is dry.
Ironically I would say UD. The Naked pallette performs just as it did years ago and you can achieve all the same looks. Nothing dated about neutrals..they're all the same lol
This is so helpful! I don't want to pay $90 which is the price for ND here in Mexico. If I can get my hands on the Alter Ego one it will be half the price or less by the time I get it.
I love Alter Ego palettes, but as I was watching this video I noticed that very similar shades are also in my ColourPop Smoke 'n Roses palette. I'm sure I'd like Alter Ego's formula better, but I rarely wear makeup anymore, especially eyeshadow since my lids have become so crepey. They were always hooded, but that loose skin just looks ridiculous with any eyeshadow I've tried on it, it just emphasizes the texture even more. It's a bummer, I used to really like playing with eyeshadows. 😢
i think it is perfectly fine to dupe. Everyone does it. ELF duped the charlotte tiltury filter product. The cosmetic industry is making so much money and we are being ripped off. I was a collector of ND palettes until i found out I was allergic to Carmine which is often used in the ingredients of many eyeshadows, including ND. However other brands are making efforts to make Vegan products(which would not contain carmine), but not her brand, which i find very disappointing. Therefore I do not buy ND eyeshadows anymore. Alter Ego do not say they are Vegan, but this Daylight palette does not contain Carmine therefore I purshased it
I don't know. I love Alter Ego as I they have made dupes I love more than the actual palette. I ordered one, had no pigmentation ...I mean NONE...okay 3 shimmer colors showed. I didn't want to dig into them too much. I asked on returning it. They said "maybe I got a bad one" ?? sent me a new one fast (really nice) it was a little bit better but nowhere near as good as several other palettes I love. I know colors are lighter than most palettes & ND does toppers that are never as good but close. Alter Ego is awesome. Just 2nd palette is just a drop better. Did they really just swatch so easily or did u swatch them several times to get them to look the same. I have a friend with the original so I know how the ND shows up on me. Thanks. Love the video and was hoping to see you do one, because I'm at a loss to understand why mine are unlike my other Alter Ego palettes.
I don't know, can't explain why it shows so little pigmentation on me. Maybe brush works better?? But will say, it's one of the most beautiful palettes they have made... the picture on the cover was it seems worth buying it and the 3 nice shimmers are beautiful. Just mattes don't work for me. Alter Ego does an excellent job. I use Harmony more than the original ND that I picked up wild cheap on Ipsy. Thanks

I have the daylight palette too. I think ND is over priced.
I’m so glad u did this! I’m so excited to try alter ego brushes and palette! I can’t justify spending the money so it truly is nice you and alter ego have done this for us!
Very subtle difference in the way the sheens reflect off your eyes. I like the way ND's sheen looks. It's like an airbrushed look which is very classy.
You did a great job with the dupe and the look! Very nice palettes!
I already like the ND side. It looks more cool toned and would fit my cool toned skin.

Jen Phelps did a direct comparison of INAN and Lamora Nude and loved the dupe. She’s the reason I bought it. 🎉
@@tpowell7159Thsnk you for the warning.

I could see very suttle differences. Thank for sharing this Alter Ego palette. Your final look is gorgeous.✔️💯👍🥰❗🍂🍁
I prefer the soft shimmer from the DN!! It's much mre becoming on aged eye's!!!
I don't have either! But while there were slight differences I thought they were both beautiful!
I think the ND side looked more smooth and classy. I did buy the alter ego palette and I absolutely love it. No regrets even though ND is better.
Love the Alter Ego pallette😊
I love this video... pretty amazing! And I think the way you wear / apply your eyeshadow is stunning.... I definitely have learned alot from watching your application and overall style. Definitely a style that I try to emulate in some of my looks.
I love the soft looks, very pretty❤
Great video Mandy! You always do a great job with your eyes!

I would purchase the ND but it is nice to have a more affordable option.
I've got both palettes and the alter ego lasts longer on my eyes xx
Obsessed with that necklace!!!

This is a beautiful look.

So compelling...thinking about it.
Gorgeous look, of course you could use crayons and water paints and look lovely.
Thank you, I've been hoping for this video
Can you post the Alter Ego dubs brushes please for the BK ?
I’d love the see the face and shadow ones. TY
Oh AMAZING!! Alter Ego are finally shipping to Australia too!! :D I was going to try and pick up the I Need a Nude later this year at the Sephora sale, but why pay $125AUD when I can pay $37AUD? They look close enough. 😊 Thanks for the comparison!
Parfait dupe, merci pour cette vidéo
Love the video!
I have looked at Natasha pallet and urban Decay Naked. Between those 2, which would you buy Mandy? I’m a solid neutral girl.
I know you didn’t ask me but I have both. I would buy ND. Their eyeshadow formula is amazing and the shades are a better for natural. The UD naked palette is dated to me and the formula is dry.
@@AuroraR thanks!
Ironically I would say UD. The Naked pallette performs just as it did years ago and you can achieve all the same looks. Nothing dated about neutrals..they're all the same lol
Oooh. There are so many alter ego ones I want but I need that one!! Lol
This is so helpful! I don't want to pay $90 which is the price for ND here in Mexico. If I can get my hands on the Alter Ego one it will be half the price or less by the time I get it.
You def know how to do eyes .gorg
The ColourPop 11:11 palette is a close dupe as well.

What brand of white tee shirt is that? Do you also have it in black? It is just the kind that I like and hard to find.

❤❤❤
I'll admint that the shimmer shades in the DN NUDES Palette are beter for older ees!!
You didn’t mention fallout on either. How is the Alter Ego, any fallout?
Where can I find the list of names and dupes?
I don't know, can't explain why it shows so little pigmentation on me. Maybe brush works better?? But will say, it's one of the most beautiful palettes they have made... the picture on the cover was it seems worth buying it and the 3 nice shimmers are beautiful. Just mattes don't work for me. Alter Ego does an excellent job. I use Harmony more than the original ND that I picked up wild cheap on Ipsy. Thanks
The darker Alter Ego shades look patchy on your lid but both eyes are beautiful!
I don’t own either palette, that said I think the ND looks better.
Sooo tempting to get alter ego just the way Natasha denona has been acting with her brand and threatening other influencers showing public pictures
If you are boycotting ND, there are other good palettes with original colour stories.
5:22 5:43
Alter Ego is a little darker. Natasha is more subtle. Both are beautiful though.
I waited for the alter ego dupe and didn't buy the ND. FYI the AE shadows are magnetic and can be moved around.
Does anyone else leave comments or replies here hoping Mandy will actually answer?
I prefer to save my money and get the real deal. Copies mostly feel dirty to me.
My name is Louisa Jones i like you're make up to let u no
Alter ego = China 😢
