His limited edition Makeup By Mario Ethereal Eyes Eyeshadow Palette is sold out at regular retailers
One copy is selling on eBay for a staggering $248.
Reddit user Shivsbuttbot shared her desire to recreate the look, despite not being able to get her hands on the real thing.
“I’ve been looking for an Ethereal Eyes dupe for a few years now [of] “It’s been months now,” she said.
“I wanted to build my own palette, but it’s so expensive. That doesn’t mean the palette itself isn’t expensive.
“I looked into buying it on reseller websites, but it is so easy for overseas factories to produce counterfeit pallets that look exactly the same and cost over $100. I just couldn’t do it.
“Anyway, I normally shop at Sephora, but I was looking for this palette and while browsing at Ulta I found this.”
THE MARIO DUPE
She opted for the Morphe Rich and Foiled Going Platinum Eyeshadow Palette, which retails for $14.

Several makeup fanatics gave their opinion about the dupe in the comments.
“Please tell me there’s no glitter in this? What are the finishes? Shimmer, mattes?” one asked.
“No glitter. The first, third, eighth, and ninth pans are matter. The others are sparkly. I wouldn’t call them glitter at all,” the original poster replied.
“Wait a minute, this is beautiful,” added another.
“This looks absolutely gorgeous,” said a third of the Morphe palette.
Still, not all makeup fans were convinced that the fake could compete with Makeup by Mario.
“I don’t know, the heavenly eyes just have a different effect,” they commented.
“Something with the shiny glitter.”
However, Ulta shoppers still praised the Morphe palette for its bold composition.
“This is a perfect palette for a summery pink eyeshadow look inspired by Sabrina Carpenter,” one person wrote.
“All shades are pigmented, creamy and easy to blend.”
