  1. @alishasapproach reviewing Maybelline Grippy Primer Serum at 01:36 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love this stuff so much1:26
    • It's going to leave like a tacky finish1:36
    • It makes your makeup last on your skin a lot longer because it's kind of like stuck to your skin1:37
    • I honestly like this more than the E.L.F. Power Grip Primer, which is saying a lot because that primer I used for like five or six years straight1:32
  2. @alishasapproach reviewing Neutrogena Radiant Primer Serum at 02:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I really, really love that no one ever talks about1:52
    • Really just gives you the most beautiful glow underneath foundation2:05
    • What I've noticed with other glowy primers is that they can be really sticky and heavy and they kind of like emphasize your pores, but this doesn't do that2:08
  3. @alishasapproach reviewing Maybelline Lumi Matte Foundation at 03:09 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • This is one of those foundations that will make you look like a filter in real life3:09

  9. @alishasapproach reviewing L'Oreal Paris Blurfection Pink Setting Powder at 08:26 in a YouTube Shorts video

    Super Stay Teddy Tintshade · Skinny Dip
    • A lot of people say that the Teddy Tints are kind of drying for them, but there's a way to apply matte lipsticks10:33
    • This way it doesn't ever get dry. You still get that kind of like lip liner showing through. Not going to look or feel heavy because you're kind of evenly dispersing it11:07
