- “Oh, wow. It kind of feels like the Elf Power Grip a little bit. It feels sticky, which I do like”7:48–7:51
- “The L.A. Girl H2O Lock Primer was good, too. I cannot wait to keep using this because I do feel like it has a quite a bit of hold and it's also really hydrating. It's very sticky, though”18:52–18:56

Brand note
L.A. Girl is the kind of brand you've probably been using since high school — affordable, no-fuss, and genuinely good for the price. The Pro.Conceal HD Concealer is the anchor here: a hydrating, natural-finish concealer that creators use for everything from cutting creases to nose contour, though it can be a little harder to blend out. The lip liners (especially the Perfect Precision and Shockwave lines) get called out as reliable dupes for higher-end shades, and the H2O Lock primer is notably sticky and grippy for long wear.
