  3. @morganturnermakeup reviewing L'oreal Superstay Lumi Matte Foundation at 03:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I would say has more of a natural matte finish, but it's extremely lightweight on the skin and has a very smooth finish3:20
    • It wears really well because of its more matte nature, but it doesn't dry out the skin because it has more of that natural finish3:33

    • This is the definition of blending into the skin like butter6:48
    • It just blends into the skin like milk pretty much, and it makes my skin look really soft and smooth7:06
    • It looks really really natural but gives just a little bit more of a bump on a coverage than the classic skin tint7:22
    • This is gorgeous and not talked about enough
    • Off camera, that's been my favorite skin tint all year7:56
  7. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Concealer at 08:17 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • It stays put while remaining hydrating8:41
    • This covers it with no issues, no color correction needed here8:57
  8. @morganturnermakeup reviewing MAC Cosmetics Studio Radiance Luminous Lift Concealer at 09:33 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • It's quite hydrating as well9:33
    • This one sets down beautifully with powder and just looks nice and soft all over the under eyes9:48
    • It's one of those concealers where it's so beautiful and rich and hydrating, you want to put it all over the skin9:53
    • There's something that's extra juicy and hydrating about this concealer, it is incredible10:10
  9. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Under Eye Setting Powder at 11:38 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a little bit more slippery and a little lighter weight than the original Laura Mercier powder11:08
    • It sets the concealer in place without adding any extra volume for the concealer to crease up11:38
    • It literally just locks it in, smooths it with the thinnest layer11:46
    • It makes my under eyes look airbrush and it definitely extends the wear of any concealer I use so that the concealer doesn't crease prematurely11:56
    • The best under eye setting powder I've ever used12:07
  10. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Givenchy Prisme Libre Pressed Powder at 13:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Givenchy$60.00
    • This doesn't have glitter and it is very reminiscent of that original loose setting powder formula without the glitters13:01
    • It really does have some amazing blurring and brightening properties to it13:18
    • This just is that final lock in place and blurring of the pores that I need without having to get messy or too thick of a layer with a loose powder13:26
    • If you liked the OG loose setting powder, it's not as good, but it is quite close13:34
  11. @morganturnermakeup reviewing jane iredale Pure Pressed Base Mineral Powder at 14:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one can also be used as a powder foundation14:01
    • If you want a poreless, perfected look, you don't mind some powder, set with a powder foundation because that for some reason just smooths the skin like no other14:07
    • Every time I use this to set my foundation, my skin looks super duper flawless14:24
    • That was the secret to the poreless skin, it was this powder14:54

  12. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Morphe Cloudlight Soft Glow Veil Finishing Powder at 15:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Morphe$17.00
    • They are Hourglass's sister, I would say they're not identical to my beloved Hourglass powders, but I think them being so closely related is why I love them so much15:36
    • They are not even near the price point of Hourglass15:48
    • These are just like a soft sheer powder that has a little bit of pearl to it15:59
    • These are so so high quality, the best thing Morphe has launched in years, incredible17:07

  14. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Hung Vanngo Beauty Soft Focus Blurring Matte Bronzer at 18:30 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • It's very soft and it's sheer but buildable18:32
    • It was very blurring, which I thought was very, very unique18:49

    • They're very thin and watery, but they apply beautifully over the cheeks like watercolor19:42
    • They have the prettiest beam to them19:49
    • There is a highlighting aspect to it, but it's not like wham bam highlight emphasized texture19:53
    • I love the way that these melt into the skin19:59
    • These are hard to over apply20:05
    • If you want a blush that's pearly, that's glossy, glowy, but is like actually unique, I think you will really like these20:16
    • They're a very special special product, MAC did a great job with that20:24
  16. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush at 21:02 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • I know what I'm looking for when it comes to a luxury brand and the quality that I want, and that's what I get from these blushes22:05
    • Beginning with the experience of the packaging all the way to how this applies without having to dig into the product, but you can blend it out if you apply too much22:14
    • This to me has been a luxury splurge that is worth it22:28
    • Everything about these blushes I love22:32
  18. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Saie Supersuede Powder Blush at 22:58 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Saie$28.00

    • It is a baked blush, so it's similar to Hourglass22:58
    • It gives that not flat but also not super shimmery look on the cheek23:02
    • A pearly glowy powder blush, it just blurs the cheek a little bit more23:24

    • This year, the Swan was my favorite24:44
  20. @morganturnermakeup reviewing One/Size Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray at 25:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I feel like this one absorbs into the makeup25:09
    • If you want something to melt in the powders and just make them nice and rehydrated since I am someone with dry skin who likes powders, sometimes you need a spray to make your makeup kind of settle into the skin better and become more flexible25:19
    • This kind of enhances and melts into my base25:38
  21. @morganturnermakeup reviewing PAT McGRATH LABS Legendary Glow Setting Spray at 25:58 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • They blend out to look quite airbrushed27:44
    • If you are not a master blender, it doesn't matter, these will look like a well blended powder eyeshadow despite them being a liquid27:47
    • These last a long time, they don't feel thick, so they don't crease either28:15
