    The Alter Ego seemed to blend a lot easier. I prefer to slowly build up my shadows to get the intended color intensity. Hoping Alter Ego will dupe more ND palettes and possibly Pat McGrath as well. Great comparison. Thanks Jen. Blessings!

    ND shadows are just too expensive. Yes, formula is amazing but no powder can be justified to cost $129

    • @cwales688
      @cwales688 Pƙed 4 lety +18

      the quasiminimalist I agree and disagree. If you break the shadows down per ounce the are actually cheaper than some other high end shadows. It’s just a huge cost at once. I would prefer if they stick with the smaller pan sizes so we are either getting a smaller price point or more shadows for the money.

    • @BerniceYT
      @BerniceYT Pƙed 4 lety +8

      @@cwales688 yeah they are cheaper if you use up all of the shadows. I do project pan and I can attest that eyeshadows are hard to empty. With the influx of new products, I'm pretty sure a new "I need that" palette will come out before I use up the whole ND palette.

    I've watched a couple of other videos this morning comparing these 2 palettes and yours is the first video that mentioned the different textures in these two palettes. Of course others mentioned mattes and shimmers but no one mentioned the cream to powder.texture. I do have one Alter Ego palette that I love, but I'm really not interested in this palette in general. I've got plenty of neutral palettes that can give me the same looks as these ones could. Just good to know there is an affordable option.

    I have had my eye on the Goddess palette, it's really nice but it seems a lot of the shades are similar and it might be a touch warm. Now I am looking at this one, wondering if this might be a better choice. But there are a lot of warm shades in here too, arrghh! Can't decide if I want one, both or neither! Still, your video is very helpful even though my indecisive self isn't helping.

In my opinion the ND is far superior. Not trying to be a snob just that ND has a couple of palettes to choose from and if you find one that is your alley that it i definetly worth the splurge. Whatever you decide on I'm sure you'll love it.
