Shellea, I did some research and I found this regarding a dupe for Stila eyeliner. “E.l.f. Cosmetics. It's a fraction of the price, looks the same, applies identically, and stays in place just as well if not better than my fave Stila. I use them interchangeably! The only con is the smaller color choice compared to Stila's gorgeous stash. “. Cost is 6 American dollars. I hope you find this useful. You are Fabulous
I wear only vegan and cruelty free makeup irrespective of the price tag. I have suffered with eyelid eczema for 3 years until I stopped using makeup made of nasty stuff. My eczema is gone. It doesn’t cost high end $$ to love your skin. For reference I am 44 with oil bucket super sensitive skin ❤️
I discovered the Milani blush a couple years ago, and I love it! I use the Berry Amore and, for me, there is nothing that compares regardless of price!
Thanks for making the effort to find cheap products that are comparable in performance with luxury products. I actually just had the opposite experience. I normally use cheap products and I bought some luxury products (Upgraded because they are supposed to be better) and did extensive research on luxury purses and found the luxury products are worse than cheap products. I am really quite shocked, too. The packaging looks better but the actual product was really bad.
Schellea....I'm starting to embrace & feel confident again & look after myself once more. Thank you for all the Effort you put in... it has given me a new lease of Life.
Bours Jours Mascara (black) has serum in it.. thicker & longer 2 applications Revlon Colourstay (black or d. Brown) Eyeliner...over the years I'm yet to find one better
Hi Shelley, Thanks for your video. I just hate the thought of using drug store make-up. I used it all the time in high school and now I am going for my doctorate. i love the moderately expensive make-up. The best lip liner is Prescriptives it is like crayon for your lips and makes your lip stick really stay. But I also love BareMinerals
Perfect! You've done it. I've been using your tips for a month now and people can not stop commenting about how much younger I look..and I'm 66. They say I look like I'm in my 40s so good on ya :D
Sephora makes a real nice inexpensive waterproof/smudge proof eyeliner. They’re mat lipsticks last a long time as well and feel and look perfect. Love your videos and tips!
You are so kind to do this, many people were rude in their requests for affordable options/dupes but you pressed onward for those who have manners. 💗 My reasons for purchasing high end are/were for the ingredients, customer service, quality and and ability to try before purchasing, but I agree, there are excellent drugstore options these days! The Pixi eyeliners are very good, I know a makeup artist who loves them. I also LOVE the Pixi Duo Cleanser by Caroline Hirons available at Target, about $24 US dollars.
Me too Shelleah, my favourite pasttime is going into the beauty department at luxury department stores, and buying new makeup and skincare ! It is such an expensive habit, though, and I am so spoiled by luxury products. I've tried switching up to drugstore brands, but the packaging makes me sad - haha. It doesn't have that luxury feel that makes me feel so great. Applying skincare and makeup is the favourite part of my day, and the luxury tools and products make it so.
solidcatink we speak the same language! That was what I noticed too...the packaging is very different but that is how they can keep the prices down so it makes so much sense...Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️
You're so sweet to give your valued time to research the products for us. I have not purchased any of the products you recommended, but I plan to purchase them. I wanted to mention that I also like the Mary Kay products. All the products are guaranteed, so if you don't like them, all you have to do is return them. You don't end up with a drawer full of makeup that you're not using. Thank you from Lapoint, Utah USA
Thank you Schellea! Wonderful tips! I am going to definitely try a few of these items. Many many years I used more high end makeup lines and I would agree if you can find reasonable priced alternatives that get you the same effect, best bang for your hard earned dollars! Elegance is well rounded substance of self and savvy....true confidence is not in what you spend. 💕🙌🤗 I love the beauty and wisdom of the 50’s❤️
I asked about this a few days ago and I should have investigated more because here it is, drugstore makeup vs. high end. How awesome is it that you took the time to compare! Thank you!
I did enjoy your videos very much and learned so much, but we have to be aware of what companies still do animal testing on products. Some of the companies you mentioned still do. Cheers
Was just thinking Shellea. Yes it hurt 😂😂😂 it must have taken so many hours and testers to to this. So Thank you . It's very much appreciated. Your skin is beautiful without makeup.
Hi everyone I was taken by my mum to Estée Lauder for skin care as a teenager then I automatically went on to makeup so for thirty years I have been brand loyal , now retired from being a busy registered nurse working in intensive care I can really enjoy my Estée super skincare and gorgeous makeup and have time to play but I adore Estée Lauder even my perfume is made by Estée ! So I have my mother to thank for my beautiful skin and now why change although I have bought a few items of Charlotte Tilbury which again is luxury. But all I can advise people just take care of your skin then you will reap rewards when you too become mature, prices are dependant on quality of products and lasting time !
Absolutely love these tips! The award-winning Milani Baked Blush is fantastic.The NYX butter lipstick is also incredible (along with the butter gloss). Received compliments today on my makeup and can't thank you enough for this boost in self-esteem.--My Irish eyes are smiling!
Can't get Max Factor state side anymore - probably more than 10 years. Loved their mascara more than any other! Miliani blushes cannot be beat. Your drugstore prices are HigH! By the way, the close up video insert is super helpful. Thanks!
Hi Janis Haldeman! Yes they are very high compared to US...Our govt taxes makeup as a luxury item and 10% GST on top...Love shopping overseas for makeup...so much fun...Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
so appreciate your honesty! i too when i first started working spent money on better quality clothes and high end makeup - why? - because it made me happy! i have now discovered dupes but still love high end also. this was a very informative video.
It's unfortunate that the government taxes all makeup in Australia as a 'luxury' product, much higher than other countries. It's often cheaper to order products from the UK or the USA and even with the exchange rate and postage, it's still cheaper than at Myer. Revlon in the US in local drugstores for example only costs a few dollars, not like the nearly $20 to $30 for most of their products here.
This is awesome, thank you! I've been following your channel for a while as each video is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom 💖 For anyone looking for a waterproof eyeliner that doesn't smudge or budge, I use Rimmel they have black, brown or blue in waterproof colours. I have oily skin, I use an eye primer and Rimmel is the only waterproof eyeliner that doesn't budge 💕
Love this Video Schellea 😊 a couple of questions...what is the colour of Stila Smudge Stick Wayerproof EyeLiner? And what are your favourite Kat Von D Lip Liner colours? Thanks again for putting this channel together & sharing your wisdom
This was very helpful! I definitely noticed the difference after I turned 50 and have been struggling a bit to find just the right makeup. Eyeliner in particular has been quite the challenge! So glad you addressed that. And great application tips too. Thank you so much.
Your health goals and natural healthful living fall right in line with mine. That is why I love your channel. One thing I’m curious about. How does makeup fall in that. Are you considered with toxic makeup ingredients? ❤
P.S. I like wearing my dupes, esp lipsticks for the gym, gardening, poolside, grocery shopping, etc and saving my good stuff for when I am on out of the house "dressed." xo
Wow you put so much work into this video, thank you very much !!! I will be taking a very close look at all the dupes you've come up with. Thank you !! Xx
I have brought quite abit of the stuff, you have on this video, and they are all great. Thank you for saving me money, as I tend to buy about three different products and two I never use again. Not great with makeup. I cant afford the high end stuff, but this is such an excellent video. Thank you so so much!!
You are so gorgeous!! Thank you for taking the time to find these dupes! I love high end makeup, but it’s fun to find awesome products at the drugstore too!! My new favorite mascara is Covergirl Exhibitionist, and I just purchased the Wet and Wild highlighter in Blossom Glow. It’s so pretty! I’ll have to dig out my Milani Luminoso, it looks so flattering on you :)
I'm very happy with the Rimmel Insta Flawless Skin Tint - light medium too. I even use it by itself as a light foundation. Thank you again for recommending it. :)
Hi again Schellea and thank you very much for this video. Quite coincidentally a few days before I viewed it, I had already purchased the Maybelline Master Chrome highlighter and I totally ADORE it! I'm going to buy the Covergirl Vitalist Go Glow and Rimmel Insta Flawless tomorrow! :) I've also ordered a Beauty Blender pink sponge to apply foundation with and am now about to try and find your videos which show how to apply foundation with it. :)
Hey, Shellea! I wear some of the same products you do!!! Even the same colors! The only one that I regret buying was the Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder: if you lived near me I would give mine to you. Thanks for the tips on the dupes!!! About eyeliner: Try Kiko Milano - Long Lasting Eyeliner Intense Color. It costs about € 5,9 here in Spain. 😘😘😘
Love the color of your top. I will be 60 soon. Did makeup during office career, but haven't since. I see youf videos and think I would like to be fashionable. I have only used soap, water and coconut oil for at least the last 15, except for a few Punjabi marriages I have attended. Don't know how to start fashionable
I was unable to find/purchase the Milani baked blush but instead I bought a Fifth Avenue Baked Blush Apricot Glow for $7 at KMart! It's beautiful and has light shimmery glow. I would normally have chosen a rose/pink tone but they looked too dark or too light -- this one is perfect! I also bought the Maybelline Master Chrome molten gold highlighter and love that too! Thank you for all of your recommendations -- I'm adoring the Beauty Blender sponge too!
Thank you SO MUCH FIR including the shades you use! I'm new here! Appreciate your shopping lists so I can replicate the looks! LA MER is the most lovely stuff I've ever had on my face so I might spring for the high end foundation!!! Plus, maybe I'm suggestible but I really perceived it to be discernible more magical ! The eyeliner combo is devastating! Your eyes are so fab but I bet my eyes will feel super spruced up in it too! To me the cheap eye base had more pop and I love it and will try! About to binge on your vids!
I struggle when making makeup choices and how to use them. I will look for these products and watch your video again on how to apply them. Thank you for sharing :)
I love your make up tips. If possible, I would really like to see your tips used on a model in her mid-sixties and especially a model in her mid-seventies. I don't use foundation or highlighting l because when it's removed in the evening...I look totally different and my look is very scary especially in the morning...even for me! :)
Great video. Could u do a video on the supplements you take and if u do bio identical hormones. I am 51 and I want to feel good internally as I do externally. Makeup covers up our flaws but what do we do when we don’t have the energy or stamina that we did when younger. Also emotions are out of this world when the hormones are imbalance. Please help and let us know what we can do or what u do that helps you.
Oh my !! Eyeliners!! Try to order from Italy Kiko Milano their eyeliners, the automatic khols! They are sooo pigmented and nothing can beat the price and longevity of it! I love the automatic eyeshadow sticks too, single blushes or powder shadows,watercolor eyeshadow, creamy lipliners (like Tilbury liners,i adore Charlottes cosmetics!).-seriously,try it!
Thanks for the tips , especially the shimmer stick application. I’m embarrassed to admit I was going at my cheekbones like some crazy preschooler at colouring time with that thing! Now I know😳
So I just finished watching your "5 minute hairstyles" video. I click on this and wow! Here it is and looks amazing! Thank you for doing this video. I watch so many "dupe" videos, and they're great. Unfortunately they are done by ladies in their twenties who don't have to deal with mature skin.
Schellea, I absolutely love your videos! Your voice, accent, honesty and beauty are breathtaking! I love "high end" makeup too! But always interested in dupes if they are similar. Thank you for taking the time, hard work and comparison on all these products! I love the tip you mum gave to you with your ring finger for your lips! Lol! Love you Schellea😘💓
Thanks for the comparisons and demonstration. I'm learning so much about makeup and products that I had no clue about. I appreciate your positivity. All the way from the U.S. a big hello and a 'you rock!'
Thank you so much for putting this video together! I’m sure it was a lot of work! I love your explanations of the difference between the two types and I look forward to trying some of these brands. I think I’m going to have to try the Kat Von D lipliner!! 😊. 💕
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to find & try alternatively priced products. 👏 I just received the NYX butter gloss in a recent Ulta order. Looking forward to trying it. ⚜️🌸
Great info!! Thank you for your hard work and your sensitivity to our financial concerns😊. Looking forward to trying out the dupes that you suggested!💕
Thank you so much for this Schellea I haven't worn make up for years and feel now I should wear a bit. My first job also was in the cosmetic department in a small department store where I grew up, we sold Estee Lauder, Revlon, Helena Rubinstein so my first brand was Estee Lauder and I used it for years. I really have no idea where to start looking for makeup for mature skin and what to look for so this has been so helpful. Im also thinking of changing my skin care range as I feel it's not working as well as it should again Ive used it for 20 years. Thanks again for all the effort you put into your videos
Hi Jackie Sandberg! Thanks so much for your lovely comment... Funny, I remember my pay for this job at age 15 was $3 per hour...Do you remember your pay rate? Have an amazing week 💕
This is a wonderful video! Thanks so much for doing all the leg work for us ;-) and letting those of us with a smaller budget know what kinds of make-up we can use, and find easier, to match the quality of the more luxurious brands. I'm no longer a spring chicken lol, but I've been doing my make-up the same as I did since I was a teenager, which of course no longer works. So I GREATLY appreciate your channel to find out which new products and techniques will work now that I'm older. Thank you, Schellea!!
Just wondering Shellea if you use a concealer on your eyes at all? You don't look like you have dark circles or bags. I do have darkness. Not severe but i find it very hard to hide. I learnt a trick off Wayne goes for an eyeliner. I use a tiny brush and a black eyeshadow. Use it on your water line on top as well. I cant find the Milani anywhere but i got a good one half price. You get so excited. Makeup I feel is fun. I've had a lupus flare up so i concentrate on my eyes to hide the trash as much as I can. Makeup Is a lot dearer here. Your tips and tricks are fabulous. 😗
Their main calling card is that it stays on all day all day every product the lipstick you put it on once a day and never reapply. It doesn’t smear in to the aging lines around the lips or anything like that. And all of our products have the anti-aging Cineplex complex Joni Rogers patent on that
Thanks so much for this video. My daughter and her even 35 year old friends, wear the most popular ie., hourglass, colourpop, etc. I love the glitter and fun but in my mid 50s not sensible. So nice to see you use some highlighting makeup to give dew and glow. We are going to Walt Disney and I am looking to do some fun "princess looks" but now I know how to do a touch with sensible makeup, even though people think my daughter and I are sisters :()
Found your channel 2 weeks ago and love it! This video comparing drug store makeup vs higher dollar was fabulous. I am having a hard time finding the Max Factor Miracle Touch foundation to really see the colors. Wanted to know which number you used as I think our skin tones are similar. Thanks!
Just when I think you can’t do a better video- this comes out! ! You look GORGEOUS and I will be honest that the foundation sold me! I HATE foundation shopping- I have tried Estée Lauder, Nars, IT,makeup forever and Tarte to name a few- none give me a finish I want- I trust you- max factor here I come- also an eyeliner I LOVE is a brand called Palladio- I’m in the States and it is available at Sally’s beauty supply, butsince your inAustralia- I did research it and amazon sells it- I use the retractable pencil and also the liquid- I have horrible hooded eyes that would rub any eyeliner off- this is AWE SOME and while I’m not sure it will compare w Stilla- it’s relatively affordable at approx10.00 US currency❤️❤️much love from Cincinnati
Hi Tracy M! Thanks so much for your lovely comment xx I will look into Palladio, thanks...I think we need many of your great brands over here in Australia...Have an amazing weekend 💕
I’m not 50 yet, I will be very soon:) I found your channel by accident and I’m hooked! You are so pretty cool grace and classy! Thanks so much for showing us the best tips ever, please take care.
Hi I too adore higher end makeup and I use Estée Lauder both skin care and makeup and brand loyal just because I love it it makes me happy I love looking at it using it !
Just found your channel, you are just delightful and these dupes are so affordable. After our snowstorm last night and black ice melt I'll be out shopping again. You are my daughter's age ...she prefers using no makeup ...so will share your video to give her a gentle nudge to try a little. Hugs ....Sherry
Lovely video,I enjoy watching all your videos and love your warm and loving personality,though I am 40 years old but I enjoy watching mature and grown up women like you on UA-cam who don’t add the unwanted drama and shrill in their presentation.just a suggestion if you could do something about the lighting of your set up,then it’ll surely help looking at the colours on your face as well as the swatches much better, and it’ll definitely enhance your video quality,much love from all the way from Mumbai,India ♥️💐
Great video! I love Lancome makeup too. My favorite foundation is the Ultra Longwear Foundation Stick by Lancome:) It feels amazing on my skin, blends beautifully and wears long throughout the day:) Love your videos- this one was a lot of fun! Have a Golden day:)
I can’t tell a difference on your face. Thanks for doing this. The eyeliner trick is awesome. I’m trying it tomorrow. I’m curious what business did you start, working 7 days a week? I’m always impressed with people that take that risk.
Hi Wendy French! I bought a cafe at age 21 and continued owning and operating businesses for 32 years...Enjoy experimenting and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Thank you for these dupes. Really appreciate you doing this for us. I'm on a very low income. I loved how the Rimmel foundation looked on your skin.. I will try to get that.. I've wanted to see a dupe for CT glow serum for so long.. Now I've got 2 to choose from.. I couldn't tell the difference on your skin.. Nor could I see a difference in your foundation.. They both made your skin glow, well on camera anyway.. I wonder how it lasts though on the skin.. Everything looked so good on you..
What an excellent tutorial, Schellea! You have pulled together a beautiful look with what you are wearing and love your accessories and hair style!!! You found some great dupes for us! Think I am going to grab most including your Mac lipstick and Stila liner. Gorgeous! Love that we wear the same colours in everything! You make my shopping SO easy!!! Wishing you a beautiful day! Sending you cool breezes!!! Love you lots, Lydia XO ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Hi Beautiful Lydia Glassman! 🙏 Make sure to check out the Stilla eyeliner that has a hint of dark piumb/dark brown...best color ever...Sending you warm tropical breezes...Lots of love ❤️
I'm not going to discuss ridiculously expensive makeup, but the main difference between inexpensive makeup & the more expensive is that the expensive lasts a lot longer on the skin and blends better and easier; therefore, the inexpensive makes me hate it -- a waste of money! The realistic choice is to buy fewer products but good ones! Good friends will tell me how I look later on!
Thanks so much Schellea, love the video! I can't seem to find the exact colours that you have used, in particular for the L'Oreal eye paint, Milani blush and the MAC and Max Factor lipsticks. Your make-up looks amazing. You are the only vlogger with similar colour eyes and blonde hair :) thanks heaps!
How did I survive before discovering your fabulous informative and inspirational videos. So appreciate you sharing all your tricks of the trade honesty and hard work researching the products!
@@fabulous50s You are awesome! 💜 I forgot to say I like Wet n Wild perfect pout gel lip liner. I haven't seen a gel lip liner before. They are less than $3 US. I gave some to my older friends and they like them too. I am new to lip liners though so I don't have a lot of experience and I have never tried Kat Von D. I am sure hers are amazing. I will have to try hers. 🌷
Some might give me grief about this, but the only products I ever use are cruelty-free (not tested on animals). I'm wondering if there are cruelty-free products that you like?
I am very glad that you did this lovely video. Well you do very good videos all the time. I know what you mean about shopping in a fancy store just to feel better. Sometimes it is not about the product but rather the experience. As far as product quality goes I know that Milani and L'Oreal are inexpensive products that typically work well. Thank you for this video and have a great day.
Thanks beautiful Marta Laura Zayas! Yes that experience is one of my favourites...a couple of hours alone with all that makeup!...Have an amazing day ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video. I really love you makeup look but could never afford the products. I'm glad you found some surprises that you may use yourself. You are beautiful.
The eyeliner I go back to each and every time is the Estée Lauder Double Wear Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner. My next favourite is Lise Watier.

P.S. I like wearing my dupes, esp lipsticks for the gym, gardening, poolside, grocery shopping, etc and saving my good stuff for when I am on out of the house "dressed." xo
Lydia Glassman hello my lovely NY friend xx Exactly...thats what I will be doing from now one too ❤️
This video was incredibly helpful!! Thank you for taking the time to put it together! I hope you do more 'dupe' videos in the future!
We need really up close videos to see anything. Don’t be shy. You are loved!!
This was a lot of work & I appreciate your knowledge. I’ll start adding these items in as my current supply is used. Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to comment Sharon Roof Have a great day 🌸
Wow you put so much work into this video, thank you very much !!! I will be taking a very close look at all the dupes you've come up with. Thank you !! Xx
Hi Andrea McBride! Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Thank you for this video you look so stunning like a younger Oliva Newton John

I have brought quite abit of the stuff, you have on this video, and they are all great. Thank you for saving me money, as I tend to buy about three different products and two I never use again. Not great with makeup. I cant afford the high end stuff, but this is such an excellent video. Thank you so so much!!
You are so gorgeous!! Thank you for taking the time to find these dupes! I love high end makeup, but it’s fun to find awesome products at the drugstore too!! My new favorite mascara is Covergirl Exhibitionist, and I just purchased the Wet and Wild highlighter in Blossom Glow. It’s so pretty! I’ll have to dig out my Milani Luminoso, it looks so flattering on you :)
Thanks for sharing your favouriteswith us Shauna Fidler! Have a great day ❤️
Thanks Shell so much. I'm an 72 and watch and do so much of your stuff.
I'm very happy with the Rimmel Insta Flawless Skin Tint - light medium too. I even use it by itself as a light foundation. Thank you again for recommending it. :)
great choice! Have a great day SMc Mc 🦋
Hi again Schellea and thank you very much for this video. Quite coincidentally a few days before I viewed it, I had already purchased the Maybelline Master Chrome highlighter and I totally ADORE it! I'm going to buy the Covergirl Vitalist Go Glow and Rimmel Insta Flawless tomorrow! :) I've also ordered a Beauty Blender pink sponge to apply foundation with and am now about to try and find your videos which show how to apply foundation with it. :)
Hey, Shellea! I wear some of the same products you do!!! Even the same colors! The only one that I regret buying was the Charlotte Tilbury’s Light Wonder: if you lived near me I would give mine to you.
Thanks for the tips on the dupes!!!
About eyeliner: Try Kiko Milano - Long Lasting Eyeliner Intense Color. It costs about € 5,9 here in Spain. 😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing your Kiko Milano tip wit us Sílvia Barcellos! Have a great day 🌸
Love the color of your top. I will be 60 soon. Did makeup during office career, but haven't since. I see youf videos and think I would like to be fashionable. I have only used soap, water and coconut oil for at least the last 15, except for a few Punjabi marriages I have attended. Don't know how to start fashionable
Hello Gurkamal..
How are you doing today?
I was unable to find/purchase the Milani baked blush but instead I bought a Fifth Avenue Baked Blush Apricot Glow for $7 at KMart! It's beautiful and has light shimmery glow. I would normally have chosen a rose/pink tone but they looked too dark or too light -- this one is perfect! I also bought the Maybelline Master Chrome molten gold highlighter and love that too! Thank you for all of your recommendations -- I'm adoring the Beauty Blender sponge too!
Thanks for sharing your tips with us SMc Mc! Have a great day 🌸
Thank you SO MUCH FIR including the shades you use! I'm new here! Appreciate your shopping lists so I can replicate the looks!
LA MER is the most lovely stuff I've ever had on my face so I might spring for the high end foundation!!!
Plus, maybe I'm suggestible but I really perceived it to be discernible more magical !
The eyeliner combo is devastating! Your eyes are so fab but I bet my eyes will feel super spruced up in it too!
To me the cheap eye base had more pop and I love it and will try!
About to binge on your vids!
I struggle when making makeup choices and how to use them. I will look for these products and watch your video again on how to apply them. Thank you for sharing :)
Hi Colleen sheppard! Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
I love your make up tips. If possible, I would really like to see your tips used on a model in her mid-sixties and especially a model in her mid-seventies. I don't use foundation or highlighting l because when it's removed in the evening...I look totally different and my look is very scary especially in the morning...even for me! :)
Great video. Could u do a video on the supplements you take and if u do bio identical hormones. I am 51 and I want to feel good internally as I do externally. Makeup covers up our flaws but what do we do when we don’t have the energy or stamina that we did when younger. Also emotions are out of this world when the hormones are imbalance. Please help and let us know what we can do or what u do that helps you.
Oh my !! Eyeliners!! Try to order from Italy Kiko Milano their eyeliners, the automatic khols! They are sooo pigmented and nothing can beat the price and longevity of it! I love the automatic eyeshadow sticks too, single blushes or powder shadows,watercolor eyeshadow, creamy lipliners (like Tilbury liners,i adore Charlottes cosmetics!).-seriously,try it!
Thanks for sharing your tip with us Kerolaina Bula! Have a great day 🌸
Thanks for the tips , especially the shimmer stick application. I’m embarrassed to admit I was going at my cheekbones like some crazy preschooler at colouring time with that thing! Now I know😳
Thanks for the laugh PhabPhoebe! Im sure it wasn't that bad...its always fun to learn new techniques...Have a great day 🌸
So I just finished watching your "5 minute hairstyles" video. I click on this and wow! Here it is and looks amazing!
Thank you for doing this video. I watch so many "dupe" videos, and they're great. Unfortunately they are done by ladies in their twenties who don't have to deal with mature skin.
Thanks so much for your comment Lady Wytch Im happy you enjoyed the video 🌹
Schellea, I absolutely love your videos! Your voice, accent, honesty and beauty are breathtaking! I love "high end" makeup too! But always interested in dupes if they are similar. Thank you for taking the time, hard work and comparison on all these products! I love the tip you mum gave to you with your ring finger for your lips! Lol! Love you Schellea😘💓
You're so kind Debbie Eckhardt! I Really appreciate your feedback...Thanks for taking the time ❤️ and have a great weekend 🌸
Great video! Thanks so much for all of the time and money you spent on putting this together! You're such a sweetie.
Im so happy you enjoyed the video Melinda! Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️
Thanks for the comparisons and demonstration. I'm learning so much about makeup and products that I had no clue about. I appreciate your positivity. All the way from the U.S. a big hello and a 'you rock!'
Thank you so much for putting all this together for us all. Beautiful look, I'll be trying some of those dupes!
Thanks so much for watching Karen Kaza! Have a fantastic weekend 🌸
Thank you so much for putting this video together! I’m sure it was a lot of work! I love your explanations of the difference between the two types and I look forward to trying some of these brands. I think I’m going to have to try the Kat Von D lipliner!! 😊. 💕
Thanks Lauretta Zatarski! I love the Kat Von D lipliner, hope you get to try it. Have an amazing week 🌸
Revlon has a pencil liner for 8 dollers. Black or brown are both good
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to find & try alternatively priced products. 👏 I just received the NYX butter gloss in a recent Ulta order. Looking forward to trying it. ⚜️🌸
Thanks for your comment S Jenkins! Have a great day ❤️
Great info!! Thank you for your hard work and your sensitivity to our financial concerns😊. Looking forward to trying out the dupes that you suggested!💕
Hey Kyle Ann Dycio! I'm happy you enjoyed the video...Have an amazing day 🤗
Thank you so much for this Schellea I haven't worn make up for years and feel now I should wear a bit. My first job also was in the cosmetic department in a small department store where I grew up, we sold Estee Lauder, Revlon, Helena Rubinstein so my first brand was Estee Lauder and I used it for years. I really have no idea where to start looking for makeup for mature skin and what to look for so this has been so helpful. Im also thinking of changing my skin care range as I feel it's not working as well as it should again Ive used it for 20 years. Thanks again for all the effort you put into your videos
Hi Jackie Sandberg! Thanks so much for your lovely comment... Funny, I remember my pay for this job at age 15 was $3 per hour...Do you remember your pay rate? Have an amazing week 💕
Another winner, I enjoy your positivity.
Hi lucky steph done! Thanks so much for watching...Have a great day 💕
In the USA the lash paradise is about $8.00
Thats crazy Suzette Fam Espinosa Piña! We pay a luxury tax plus GST on all makeup in Australia...I love shopping in the States ❤️
Thank you for sharing this information, this helps for us people with less $$$
Dawn Coppock ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Are all or any of these products 'not' tested on animals? I will go shopping to read labels.
This is a wonderful video! Thanks so much for doing all the leg work for us ;-) and letting those of us with a smaller budget know what kinds of make-up we can use, and find easier, to match the quality of the more luxurious brands. I'm no longer a spring chicken lol, but I've been doing my make-up the same as I did since I was a teenager, which of course no longer works. So I GREATLY appreciate your channel to find out which new products and techniques will work now that I'm older. Thank you, Schellea!!
Hi RKusmie64! Thanks so much for your lovely comment... Have an amazing weekend 💕
Just wondering Shellea if you use a concealer on your eyes at all? You don't look like you have dark circles or bags. I do have darkness. Not severe but i find it very hard to hide. I learnt a trick off Wayne goes for an eyeliner. I use a tiny brush and a black eyeshadow. Use it on your water line on top as well. I cant find the Milani anywhere but i got a good one half price. You get so excited. Makeup I feel is fun. I've had a lupus flare up so i concentrate on my eyes to hide the trash as much as I can. Makeup Is a lot dearer here. Your tips and tricks are fabulous. 😗
This was both thoughtful and helpful. Thank you
Hi Sheri K FitFab ForLife! Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
This was such a helpful video! Thank you!! Have been looking for a dup for Charlotte Tilbury, glad you found some! ❤💖
Thanks for taking the time to comment Stacy B Have a great day 🌸
Thank you so much for doing the leg work for us! Looks like I will buying makeup this weekend. This was much appreciated!!! You're a love!
Hi Starla Kelsey! Have fun shopping...Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Their main calling card is that it stays on all day all day every product the lipstick you put it on once a day and never reapply. It doesn’t smear in to the aging lines around the lips or anything like that. And all of our products have the anti-aging Cineplex complex Joni Rogers patent on that
Revlon color stay lipliner is great.
Thanks for sharing your tip with us annette aragon! Have a great day 🌸
Thanks so much for this video. My daughter and her even 35 year old friends, wear the most popular ie., hourglass, colourpop, etc. I love the glitter and fun but in my mid 50s not sensible. So nice to see you use some highlighting makeup to give dew and glow. We are going to Walt Disney and I am looking to do some fun "princess looks" but now I know how to do a touch with sensible makeup, even though people think my daughter and I are sisters :()
Found your channel 2 weeks ago and love it! This video comparing drug store makeup vs higher dollar was fabulous. I am having a hard time finding the Max Factor Miracle Touch foundation to really see the colors. Wanted to know which number you used as I think our skin tones are similar. Thanks!
Hi Carol Biggs! and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I use golden 075. hanks so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Thank you for these wonderful tips.
thank you Schellea 😊
This was Amazing. I would love to see your total skin care
Just when I think you can’t do a better video- this comes out! ! You look GORGEOUS and I will be honest that the foundation sold me! I HATE foundation shopping- I have tried Estée Lauder, Nars, IT,makeup forever and Tarte to name a few- none give me a finish I want- I trust you- max factor here I come- also an eyeliner I LOVE is a brand called Palladio- I’m in the States and it is available at Sally’s beauty supply, butsince your inAustralia- I did research it and amazon sells it- I use the retractable pencil and also the liquid- I have horrible hooded eyes that would rub any eyeliner off- this is AWE SOME and while I’m not sure it will compare w Stilla- it’s relatively affordable at approx10.00 US currency❤️❤️much love from Cincinnati
Hi Tracy M! Thanks so much for your lovely comment xx I will look into Palladio, thanks...I think we need many of your great brands over here in Australia...Have an amazing weekend 💕
I’m not 50 yet, I will be very soon:) I found your channel by accident and I’m hooked! You are so pretty cool grace and classy! Thanks so much for showing us the best tips ever, please take care.
Hello katie..
How are you doing today?
Hi I too adore higher end makeup and I use Estée Lauder both skin care and makeup and brand loyal just because I love it it makes me happy I love looking at it using it !
Elizabethann Ferrario ❤️
Just found your channel, you are just delightful and these dupes are so affordable. After our snowstorm last night and black ice melt I'll be out shopping again. You are my daughter's age ...she prefers using no makeup ...so will share your video to give her a gentle nudge to try a little. Hugs ....Sherry
Thanks beautiful Sherry Reis! I hope the snow storm has eased...A girl has gotta shop! Say hi to your daughter for me...Have an amazing day ❤️
I use Revlon Colorstay
It does not smudge.
Lovely video,I enjoy watching all your videos and love your warm and loving personality,though I am 40 years old but I enjoy watching mature and grown up women like you on UA-cam who don’t add the unwanted drama and shrill in their presentation.just a suggestion if you could do something about the lighting of your set up,then it’ll surely help looking at the colours on your face as well as the swatches much better, and it’ll definitely enhance your video quality,much love from all the way from Mumbai,India ♥️💐
Thanks for taking the time to comment Grusha Singh! Yes my lighting game needs work for sure...Im on it...Have a great day 🌸
Great video! I love Lancome makeup too. My favorite foundation is the Ultra Longwear Foundation Stick by Lancome:) It feels amazing on my skin, blends beautifully and wears long throughout the day:) Love your videos- this one was a lot of fun! Have a Golden day:)
Do you have dry skin?
@@utahboxergirl11 my skin type is normal to dry.
Lancome owns Loreal
Hey Go Groomer! I'm happy you enjoyed the video...I will check out the foundation...Have an amazing day 🤗
I can’t tell a difference on your face. Thanks for doing this. The eyeliner trick is awesome. I’m trying it tomorrow. I’m curious what business did you start, working 7 days a week? I’m always impressed with people that take that risk.
Hi Wendy French! I bought a cafe at age 21 and continued owning and operating businesses for 32 years...Enjoy experimenting and have a beautiful weekend 💕
Thank you for these dupes. Really appreciate you doing this for us. I'm on a very low income. I loved how the Rimmel foundation looked on your skin.. I will try to get that.. I've wanted to see a dupe for CT glow serum for so long.. Now I've got 2 to choose from.. I couldn't tell the difference on your skin.. Nor could I see a difference in your foundation.. They both made your skin glow, well on camera anyway.. I wonder how it lasts though on the skin.. Everything looked so good on you..
Hi Roxana Mcglinchey! Yes the products are both long lasting...Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful week 💕
Thanks so much for the dupes. They look just as good as the high price ones. 😊
Thanks Marlene Marken! Have a beautiful day 🌸
Your overall look... face, hair, bone structure, etc.....always reminds me of Charlotte Tilbury
Stacey Pleasants ❤️
What an excellent tutorial, Schellea! You have pulled together a beautiful look with what you are wearing and love your accessories and hair style!!! You found some great dupes for us! Think I am going to grab most including your Mac lipstick and Stila liner. Gorgeous! Love that we wear the same colours in everything! You make my shopping SO easy!!!
Wishing you a beautiful day! Sending you cool breezes!!! Love you lots, Lydia XO ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
Hi Beautiful Lydia Glassman! 🙏 Make sure to check out the Stilla eyeliner that has a hint of dark piumb/dark brown...best color ever...Sending you warm tropical breezes...Lots of love ❤️
Wow, great video! I too, like higher end products, but I love a great drugstore dupe!
Thanks!!!😊
Hi Ro Barg! Thanks so much for watching and have a beautiful weekend 💕
I'm not going to discuss ridiculously expensive makeup, but the main difference between inexpensive makeup & the more expensive is that the expensive lasts a lot longer on the skin and blends better and easier; therefore, the inexpensive makes me hate it -- a waste of money! The realistic choice is to buy fewer products but good ones! Good friends will tell me how I look later on!
Hello! Love, love , love this......thanks for doing all the leg work! Rock on fabulous50s!
Hey Ann Marie Little! I'm happy you enjoyed the video...Have an amazing day 🤗
Thanks so much Schellea, love the video! I can't seem to find the exact colours that you have used, in particular for the L'Oreal eye paint, Milani blush and the MAC and Max Factor lipsticks. Your make-up looks amazing. You are the only vlogger with similar colour eyes and blonde hair :) thanks heaps!
Thank You💐 so helpful for the ppl who r on budget👍👍
Thanks for taking the time to comment Saima Khan Have a great day 🌸
How did I survive before discovering your fabulous informative and inspirational videos.
So appreciate you sharing all your tricks of the trade honesty and hard work researching the products!
Just discovered your wonderful channel. Would you consider shooting your videos closer up. Can't really see the makeup.
Hi purr bugaloo and a warm welcome to fabulous50s! I'm happy you are here...yes...Thanks so much for watching and have an amazing week 💕
@@fabulous50s You are awesome! 💜 I forgot to say I like Wet n Wild perfect pout gel lip liner. I haven't seen a gel lip liner before. They are less than $3 US. I gave some to my older friends and they like them too. I am new to lip liners though so I don't have a lot of experience and I have never tried Kat Von D. I am sure hers are amazing. I will have to try hers. 🌷
Thanks for sharing purr bugaloo 🙏❤️
Some might give me grief about this, but the only products I ever use are cruelty-free (not tested on animals). I'm wondering if there are cruelty-free products that you like?
I am very glad that you did this lovely video. Well you do very good videos all the time. I know what you mean about shopping in a fancy store just to feel better. Sometimes it is not about the product but rather the experience. As far as product quality goes I know that Milani and L'Oreal are inexpensive products that typically work well. Thank you for this video and have a great day.
Thanks beautiful Marta Laura Zayas! Yes that experience is one of my favourites...a couple of hours alone with all that makeup!...Have an amazing day ❤️
Thank you so much for doing this video. I really love you makeup look but could never afford the products. I'm glad you found some surprises that you may use yourself. You are beautiful.
Im happy you enjoyed the video SUSAN FLEMING Thanks for taking the time to comment ❤️
