BE REAL WITH ME, which side do you think looks better?!
THEY BOTH LOOK GOOD, CANT DECIDE
Both are cute...cause you are cute🎀✨️🫶
I love you so much! ❤❤
havent seen yet but surely both will be good you can choose whichever you like better
I think the least expensive side looks better
Yeeeeessss do a expensive vs drugstore! Please Mia❤
Can do!!
@@MiaMaples yay! Go Mia, go Mia!
I would love that also!
Yes I love these type of videos!!
yes please
Hair is looking beautiful. Im literally a 40+ year old woman and this channel is my guilty pleasure. Its so wholesome in such a scary world 🌍
Aw thank you so much for watching!
It needs to be darker or lighter
Same! 43 y.o. here! 👋🏼
Yup 43!
Same!
Since Jenna Marbles left the platform, Mia is literally my new favorite comfort channel. I really appreciate her consistency, her authenticity, and her calm (but sometimes silly) personality. Thank you for being you, Mia!!! 💞
This is exactly how I feel!
It's great that you love Mia. But why is it on *every woman's channel* I see these same comments comparing them to Jenna? Seriously? Can women please just exist without always getting compared to each other
The only expensive product that I “liked” was the blush. But you have convinced me to be cruelty free for awhile now:) You’re an amazing human Mia
Me too! It looks very Mia signature blush.
Started watching 32 seconds after upload and there are already five comments. Y'all are committed.
I remember the video from years back. Time is a funny thing, and it's cool to have seen Mia grow up (and grow up alongside her)
I think you also need to test the durability by making a little update at the end after 8 hrs o something of wear.
Both sides look the same, really good on you. But the truth is that even drugstore makeup is getting expensive, and I like to see a video about expensive vs. drugstore.
Thanks ❤❤bye bye
mia has literally been my comfort youtuber for years now, it's always a good day when she posts. :)
This is my jam!!!!! I love seeing expensive vs less expensive makeup. I'm surprised more Westman Atelier stuff wasn't in the most expensive. That brand is CRAZY. Tom Ford is insane pricy. That Tom Ford bronzer looked way too orange in the pan. I hope it wasn't called a contour. It should be more grey for your light shade, not orange! You should have went with Haus Labs concealer, they have nice light shades. I really love the Rimmel Miracle Ink liquid eyeliner. I've used it for years.
Collect little bags and use them as stuffing for a pillow or quilt.
The Westman Atelier powder is surprisingly great for dry skin! Honestly, I felt a bit guilty about owning so many of the expensive products you've tried, but I think both sides look amazing on you. For me, high-end brands tend to be less irritating on my dry, sensitive skin, and I love that a little product goes a long way. 😊✨
17:45 we miss you jenna marbles, love when Mia channels a bit of her energy 😭
least expensive sephora vs drug store would be AMAZING also can you add bronzing drops i’m pretty sure elf has some vs like saie would be amazing
I would love to see you do random color makeup challenges! They're so fun and it's always nice to see you experimenting with your look!
ETA: Please don't feel pressured to be mean in your reviews! As long as you're providing realistic information and helpful critiques, you're informing us as consumers. Everything else is window dressing and, frankly, I like that your approach is rooted in kindness, patience, and understanding.
Great makeup look!
MIA! I really miss watching you shop for the products on the screen. Your voice is so calming! Bring it backkkkk🥹
Would you consider fixing your lighting and color toning when you film makeup videos? You're so blown out we can't see how the products actually look
Mia please stay nice!! I watch you because you're nice and chill. There are plenty of angry sassy or loud youtubers for folks who want that and they should seek that out instead of trying to change you ❤
I love it when Mia does makeup review videos❤
I love doing makeup videos!!
@MiaMaples me too! They have always been my favorite!!
6:27 here I was thinking it had just been two years or so 😂 you're one of the only youtubers I've watched consistently for so long, I think the years have blended together
i heart you bunches your authenticity is so refreshing
Thank goodness for this upload! Been watching Mia since 2015 and I’m a huge UA-cam consumer- when people ask my fave UA-camr I always introduce them to Mia Maples!!!
I think you would love a makeup brand we have in germany: Essence makeup. They are cruelty free, vegan and affordable and a go to for so many makeup lovers here 🥰
I’m obsessedddddd with Milani makeup, it’s so affordable but still so good!
Mia! I would love to see you review “clean” makeup products. I have sensitive skin and try to wear products with less chemicals. There’s so many options now at ulta and Sephora and would love to see you compare them!❤
Wearing a split fabric top for a split face look is so subtly smart, love it!!! ❤
The Milani Conceal and Perfect is literally my go to right now! I dont use a lot of foundation or concealer but when I want to use either it has like the perfect coverage for me
Miaaaa please tell me you tried to press that shadow back into the pan! I love your content and your humor. Thank you for always being you ❤
Respect for matching the lip colour so closely with your blend.
I love this look, so beautiful.
Mia! You're so cool! That being said, no makeup review is complete without a wear test!!! PLEASE:)
Thanks for listing your own product recommendations in the description!! As someone who doesn’t know the most about makeup all the brands can be overwhelming so it’s great to have suggestions for quality cruelty free products!!!
Drugstore all the way ❤️ I haven't gone to sephora in years.
The more expensive ones tend to last longer and also have longer wear time compared to drugstore but apart from that not too different
@faizaanwar3662 i think it also depends on your skin type and environment because I used to have very oily skin and live in a very humid environment; nothing would last on me. But then I took accutane twice and moved to the desert, and my skin is normal now, and my makeup lasts all day.
To be fair, pat mcgrath has a base you should use specifically for their eye shadow and it does make a difference
I think this just goes to show that some lighting and a camera can make anything look good. Maybe if we saw true close ups, we could see the creasing or any flaws in the makeup, but to me they both appeared to be flawless
oh i looooove comparison videos for makeup like thissss
Allure posts videos of cosmetic chemists trying to guess which makeup products are cheap vs expensive. Some of the chemists, like Javon Ford, also have their own socials.
I love this hair colour on you, a bit more brown and warmer than what you usually had, but it looks so natural and cute on you :)
I’ve never been so early 😅 thank goodness I have a new video to watch
Me too😂
Sameeee
Enjoy!!
I love this concept, but I feel like you need to do a wear test to see how these products hold up over time.
I'm actually shocked how costly the least expensive products of Sephora are 😂
unfortunately, I liked the expensive side more but I literally do not buy or use make up I think I just like the expensive blush. Please do the drugstore one!!
You’re getting so good at just going for your makeup and having the confidence that it’s creative and that’s all that matters! ❤ Always watch your videos 😂 love your content Mia!
Hehehe was already watching an old video and got your notifications of a new upload 🤭💗
I like the pinkish shimmer on your lid by Pat McGrath. Other than that they look basically the same. Very pretty!! Your hair looks beautiful!!
The sigh of relief when I saw the video , made my day
I will say another good test for makeup is testing bright colors and I mean like hot BRIGHT colors bc A. Most luxury brands don’t do fun colors and B. Ive noticed their pigmentation actually isn’t good or don’t blend well or has a ton of fall out over say color pop
Ok but the pat magrath was so unfortunate because her products are actually so nice 😭
Love PM.
I think the PM side looked better
Yes! Please do a video comparing the most expensive sephora brands vs drugstore. Also, what about doing the most expensive drugstore brands (like covergirl or revlon) vs the cheapest drugstore brands (like wet and wild)?
I’d love to see a Christmas/birthday gift idea video and/or a video of you wrapping gifts 💞🙏
I love the makeup on both sides!💖 My favorite is the way you did your eyeshadow! 👀🐱
9:28 100% if you spend $100+ it should legit do magic. I’ve never done it myself but I can empathize 🤭
With beauty products, it’s not just the ingredients that define the product. The product’s formulation heavily impacts how it performs.
So while two products may have very similar ingredient lists, the way in which the ingredients are implemented, as well as the grade and sourcing of each ingredient, can cause differences in their performances.
Additionally, production cost are also impacted by formulation methods, not just the cost of ingredients. Quality and sourcing of ingredients also results in variations in cost for the same ingredient.
This isn’t to say that more expensive products are necessarily worth the extra $$$ or are always better than cheaper alternatives. Many luxury brands are often known for unnecessarily hiking up prices because they know consumers will pay for the brand name or aesthetic.
However, just because two different products have the same ingredient list, it doesn’t mean that they act in the same way or even cost the same amount of money to make.
With all this in mind, it is ultimately up to the consumer to make the decision of whether a product is worth its price tag.
I just started watching your channel about 5 months ago. Your videos are the main ones I watch. I love your hair like this. The curls are super cute
Thank youuuu!!
Mia right here just making our day again 💖
To me the expensive eyeshadow looks way better
Mia, you are the best youtuber because you are so honest with your reviews
Never been this early for a MIA MAPLES VIDEO!!! Love her & MAMA MAPLES!!!
it's a good day when mia maples uploads!!
Really enjoyed this less$/more$ makeup comparison video...Unbelievable! The differences were minimal.But I do admit I preferred the look of the Pat McGrath eye shadow on camera
Mia, I think a Zoe Sugg type of eye makeup would look nice on you...less ‘wingy‘ would look younger , of your age..... although I know you kindly did this ‘extra‘ eye look as it was requested from your fans. You are a true beauty, Mia, inside and out, a safe place on the internet and I thank you for it❤🇨🇦🇨🇦
Loveeee your hair, Mia! ❤ How can I watch a channel for years and never get tired of it? You are priceless 🤗
Broken eyeshadow is easy to fix!!! Put it back in the pan, spray w a little rubbibg alcohol, press it down. When it dried it will hold its shape.
Freaking love Pat's shimmer shadows!
13:09 Oh, Mia... Sephora does a notoriously TERRIBLE job packaging up their shipments. Lol
I often get small, fragile products in giant boxes with no crumpled up paper stuffs to keep things from flying around and smashing into each other. Lol
They are usually pretty good to send replacements but it would be nice if things were just handled with more care to start with.
I own Pat McGrath products and I'm pretty sure the shadow that broke was one of the special shades that is baked. Baked products are more fragile and it was definitely on Sephora and their shipping. Sephora should know to package those better for shipping. When I bought directly from the Pat McGrath website my palette was bubble wrapped extensively with filler to keep it from moving in an appropriately sized box. I had no breakage. The eyeshadow breaking or not has nothing to do with the quality of the product, it just means it is more fragile and should be treated accordingly.
i rarely wear make up but you always make it seem so fun and not intimidating, i appreciate that! I'd love to see drugstore vs sephora!
I love this! Crazy to see the perspective of cheaper and expensive makeup products all in one video.
obsessed with your lip shape at the end, giving me classic Hollywood beauty.
Every time I watch you Mia, I think how lucky Stewart is because you are the most beautiful soul I have ever seen. I think you do such a good job and love your videos.
For future reference, you can fix broken pallets with rubbing alcohol!! Just put the pieces back in, crush it all up with the end of a makeup brush, put rubbing alcohol on it (like saturate the powder you’re fixing), and press it down into the tin with a piece of toilet paper and let it dry overnight 😃 it’s saved me so many times…
And yes to the drugstore cheapest vs. expensive!!!
Im addicted to your videos :) You always make me smile and Im a 50 year old female from the UK. Couldnt tell the difference in all honesty but Im a sucker for a brand xx
I have that Morphe pallette... truly amazing. And that silver shade can be even more sparkly if you use something damp
Mia you should do drugstore makeup 💄 vs Sephora collection💄
Not to be supporting the more expensive products, but since you were comparing the product ingredients for the setting powder I got curious and decided to look them up on yuka. The sephora one does not have a good rating while the westman atelier one received an excellent rating. So even though the ingredients might seem similar on first look they can be quite different and some products are safe and better made than others. That does not go for all products though as even a lot of super expensive products(and other products from the westman atelier brand) have bad ingredients in them as well and some cheaper products have better ingredients sometimes.
I just started my makeup journey in my mid twenties, so I appreciate these videos ❤ Yes please compare Sephora products to drugstore products. When I did my first Sephora trip, I spent over $150 on blush, foundation, and powder 😢
At 80, I never used foundation nor most facial productsbecause of irritation. I used the eye and lip products so found this fascinating.
You should do the most expensive makeup vs makeup brands like Elf.
Would love to see more make-up videos 💖
I have to say I've been following you for such a while and your make-up skills are getting better with these more outspoken eyelooks, LOVE IT
I like that you are doing this again. I think it shows that a lot of the time, you are paying for the name in the luxury brand and not the actual product.
Your comment about the brow gel being maybe $4 to produce sent me down a rabbit hole of looking at how much things actually cost to produce. (I'm avoiding work. Hush.)
There are a few sites online with "component calculators" for manufacturing, and from what I can see, you're correct about the $4...for packaging. Add in custom screen printing on the tubes and any upgrades/customizations, add a dollar or two per unit. Then you still have to produce the actual product itself -- there are R&D costs, ingredient sourcing, licensing both in the US and abroad (regulations may be different so packaging will need to be changed for each market), fragrance procurement, and the costs of iteration of each. And once that's finalized, there are manufacturing fees, shipping (which can be insane), marketing and graphic designers to pay, along with wages for warehouse and shipping staff. Oh, and for the cruelty-free thing -- that certification costs a pretty penny and is paid *per item*, not just once per company, which adds a bit, too. That $4 shoots up exponentially.
Obviously, there's the whole economy of scale, where the more you buy at one time, the less the manufacturing costs per unit, but when I ran some numbers on the calculators some of the companies provide, even 50000 units was still more than $5 for a heavy glass bottle full of goo, so...not a whole lot different. 50K units is quite a bit for a niche or indie producer, too.
And also obviously, $76 for brow gel is just utterly ridiculous. I AM one of those old grandmas who spend weird amounts of money on things in a vain attempt to snatch back some youth from the jaws of death, but even *I* wouldn't even think about shelling out $76 for /brow gel/. I wonder who their target market actually is??
Loved this video; thanks for getting my ancient brain to wake up and get interested this morning! :)
great representation of how price doesn’t equal quality!! not to say the expensive side didn’t turn out good, just that that the product isn’t always better because it’s $100+ more than the cheaper alternatives!
Miaaa I love your makeup videos and glad the longer intros are back. ❤❤❤
What a fun video. I bet your mom would love the Cle de Peau products. The foundation albeit expensive is one of those foundations that looks better as the day progresses. Thanks for the fun!
Reuse the little suede bag to put jewelry or small things in when you travel !
I think a drugstore vs expensive would be so good!
I have had that Tom Ford eyeliner for YEARS. It still works great and didn't dry up. I'm still using it 🙈
Mia- I love your hair! How do you style it like that!
Also- drug store makeup has improved so so so much in recent years- and I would love to see you do comparison of high end/ drug store!!
You are so grounded for all the success you have built. So relatable to many of us watching :). I have splurged on some makeup in the past, but- lately I find some great finds at Ulta Drugstore Brands :)
I binged a bunch of your videos for the past two days. I think you are very cheerful and fun to watch. I did notice that almost every sentence goes up at the end like a question even though it’s a statement. I’ve noticed people in New Zealand. I think maybe Australia that have that same affectation
Yes, please do a drugstore vs Sephora video!
Literally sat down to eat and this pops up 😍😍 now I have smth to watch!
please do the most expensive sephora make up against drugstore makeup!?
I haven’t finished the video yet, so don’t know which side was better but I’m going to guess it was the affordable side. So I think you should do the affordable Sephora makeup vs affordable drugstore! That would be interesting to see and budget friendly going into the holidays that are normally expensive.
Mia!! When you launch your merch, I would love to see a packaging video ❤
I LOVE these videos. Even most of the “BEAUTY” channels don’t do these anymore
I didn't think Morphe was still in business
I would love a drugstore vs most expensive!!!!! Love you mia!!!❤️🔥🫶🏻
I would love to see this done with Ulta as well! Since they have the more drugstore products in their stores.
I love you Mia, and that is why I figured that I would let you know that Morphe is a company with heavily compromised morals. It goes beyond petty scandals they’re had in the past and the products themselves.
They have mistreated their employees, specifically their retail workers in their store locations. I recommend watching Robert Welsh’s video breaking down Morphe’s history and reputation, if you want to learn more.
Basically, the company gave employees in all their retail locations in certain countries one day’s notice of their termination before shutting down all store locations. They did this on two occasions: the first time was in January 2023 when they shut down all of their U.S. store locations, and the second time was this past August with all of their locations in the U.K.
I do love the intro coming back! I like the context coming in
Mia I would love to see a series of you trying iconic Drag Race makeup (Trixie, Crystal Methyd, Morphine Love, etc!). Would be a crossover for the ages!
I love this!!! and yes I agree with other commenters to do an expensive vs drugstore! I think that would be such a fun idea! I would also love to see how the two makeup looks hold up through out the day because while I am not against expensive things if the quality is there if there is a product that is 3 times the price but only last the same amount or less then the cheaper product then where is the money going? u know?
giiiiiirl you NEED to try lisa eldrige's makeup!!!! its high end but for 52 quid you can buy a completely sustainable and recyclable lipstick (100% aluminum) WITH REUSABLE CASE that can be ENGRAVED by ur initals!!!!!
Yes! Please do a part 2, Mia!
