    • The new and improved matte lipsticks from MAC are not quite as drying as they used to be28:34

    • It's hot, you're in air con, it's dry, it's just everything
    • More on the like hairspray-y feeling setting spray side, similar to the One Size One, but both of those fail safe
    • They're perfect for like wedding makeup, event makeup, things that you need to look good all day, especially in hot, sweaty weather
    • Wouldn't use this every day, but when I really need my makeup to not move, this or the One Size, no questions asked30:39
  49. @sophiefloyd reviewing Laura Mercier Ultra Blur Setting Spray at 30:57 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Matches the translucent powder that I really love30:56
    • I use this for like nights out, times when I want makeup to look good, but I don't necessarily need to do a full like Fenty blasting setting spray30:57
    • It's almost more of like a vaporized airspray. It gives a really nice light, soft mist. It feels like it locks everything in
    • This definitely feels like a setting spray that really works, really keeps things on, but it's not quite as extreme as this one31:13
