Dupe or not a dupe? I bought 17 MCo Beauty products. Here’s my opinion
Glow Recipe$36
Hollywood Flawless Filtershade · 2.5- “On the face they look really really similar as well”▶ 2:37
- “My friends couldn't tell that I was wearing two different products”▶ 2:48
- “The color is a little bit different but when applied on your face you can barely tell that they are a different product”▶ 2:53

Charlotte Tilbury$44.00- “I don't think that this is a good dupe”▶ 3:11
- “The MCO Beauty version is a lot warmer so I wouldn't really call it a contour I'd call it a bronzer”▶ 3:15
- “The MCO beauty version is a lot creamier than the Charlotte Tilbury version”▶ 3:24
- “The Charlotte Tilbury Contour wand is a lot cooler and stays on a little bit better”▶ 3:26

Milk Makeup$24- “These jelly cheek tints are a good dupe of each other”▶ 3:35
- “They do share a lot of ingredients together”▶ 3:40
- “The MCO Beauty version has a deeper and more pigmented color than the Milk Makeup version”▶ 3:42
- “I personally think that this is a little bit gimmicky”▶ 3:49
- “They do make a mess on my counter so I don't really reach for them”▶ 3:54
- “I like applying this with a brush and I prefer using them on no makeup days”▶ 4:05
Drunk Elephant$38.00- “I think they did a good job because you are going to get a very similar effect to the Drunk Elephant version”▶ 4:18
- “The Drunk Elephant color isn't as pigmented so it is a little bit easier to use than the MCO version”▶ 4:25
- “The texture, the shine is all really similar”▶ 4:34
- “They also share a lot of the same ingredients together”▶ 4:37
Glossier$20- “The package dup in my opinion is not a good dup for the cloud paint liquid blush”▶ 4:39
- “The texture is completely different”▶ 4:47
- “The MCO version is a lot shinier because it is designed to go on your lips as well”▶ 4:49
