Please do this theme of video again. So helpful because when I’m swatching in the stores I’m disagreeing with most of these viral products coming out. This is why RUclips style videos will always be needed.
As someone who has never been on TikTok and appreciate in depth reviews, I’m extremely grateful for these long form content you upload. Even your shorts are fun to watch as I know most are just expounding on a long video you’ve already posted.
I do not watch any short form content for this exact reason. I am 40+ with a disposable income to buy any make up I want, but I still remember how it was to NOT be able to do it, and I still hate getting bad pricey products. Many hype products are not available in brick and mortar stores where I live, so I often cannot swatch stuff either. So these types of videos are really, really appreciated!
Agree with everything above poster said, except I live fairly near Sephora and Ulta and never end up returning items I don’t like because I’m so busy I order everything. So I hate wasting money on overhyped products! Thank you so much Morgan!
As an oily skin person, the most flattering, blurring, and flawless makeup I ever had was when I applied the too faced cloud crush series bronzer, blush, and the highlighter that's your favorite too 😅 I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror that day and I would highly recommend the line to anybody with oily skin.
Apart from you being sweet, beautiful, and fun, etc., it is just such a treat to watch reviews from someone who hasn't just mastered to form an opinion - but actually knows what she talking about! 😎 As always, love and light from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤
I’m 54 normal to dry skin and still you always have the best recommendations.Your always honest and can say the. You think a product is good for another type of skin.
Products really do work differently for everyone. I actually like the supergoop for my oily skin. So for any fellow oily skin girlies it’s worth it. I’ve tried summer Fridays, Yummy serum, ilia, and those are too glowy. The supergoop has a natural finish, it actually sets and wears decently.
Exactly, that’s why I don’t like the word “deinfluencing” because it’s like the word “dupe”, all of these products work different for everyone because of a lot variables that tie into it. So instead just say they don’t work for you, and if they don’t work you that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth it, given the product of course!
Too Faced head in the clouds is the only blush that stays pink on my skin all day. I have acidic skin or something because every blush turns at least slightly orange with time
YESSS CHICA!!! Short form content is catchy but as an actual avid makeup lover and user, the products that get all the hype and blow up aren't always all that great, they just explode because it's the novelty at the time. Thanks for doing these types of videos ❤
I love the Too Faced blush honestly. It smells amazing & i love the bubblegum pink shade. Ive actually hit pan. I cannot tell you the last blush i hit pan on!
Thank you so much! I am also over 40 and do not watch TikTok and appreciate your depth reviews. I shop mainly online, my local stores also don't always have all the makeup out there, and these reviews are super helpful for making decisions about what to spend money on or not ❤❤❤❤
I agree with you 100%!!! And another important thing is that most of those TikTok virals are paid promotions and people go crazy about the new or old products thinking it is a true “viral” thing. We see very old products that nobody was talking about them anymore selling out. Then puff 💨. Next day they’re gone and there comes another ad in disguise.
I always look for longer reviews on many products. Especially high end products because they are expensive!! You are a very reliable reviewer and I appreciate that I can trust when you swear something is amazing, it really is!
Finally someone said something about Rare Beauty blushes as they are super hyped!! The bigger issue is that you can't travel with the Rare beauty blush or highlighters as they completely smash during transit.
Exactly! Plus… no one talked about just how deceptive it looks, in terms of how little product there actually is in them… 2.8g isn’t much at all. I have other blushers at the same price point which are around 5g.
3 other youtubers I've been watching talked negatively about those blushes and gave an honest review. The comments Selenators left under their videos were crazy. They straight up attacked the creators. Maybe that's why others are not saying anything negative idk.
I am soooo glad you’re doing this series of videos. We need it, believe me. I see the shorts from others and they rave about a product in 2 minutes. One doesn’t know why. I never know if it will work for me. It’s like speed dating vs. a marriage. Thanks again. Love all your videos. I’ve been watching you for years!😊
You’re fully my comfort channel Morgan your video thumbnails don’t even have to be eye catching or interesting u could literally be like here’s 25 minutes of me discussing my favourite vegetables and I’d watch it
appreciate you Morgan! your honest reviews are vital!!!! please do best powder blush for extremely dry skin!!! also would love what cream prep...remember I am 62 losing estrogen daily!!!Lol love your video's.
I bought one of the Rare Beauty blushes because I’ve been really into glowy blushes but it looks straight up metallic, not just glowy. I also have pretty good skin, and it still makes my skin look pretty bad. Way worse than the other blushlighters I have.
I personally feel like TikTok is for the younger ADHD generation. I prefer the longer, more thorough RUclips reviews and videos that are more truthful and accurate. And I love all of your content!
😮😮😮 The ADHD generation term you use is a really crappy thing to write, bordering on offensive to some. It was an unnecessary word to voice your opinion. Why not just leave it at younger generation?
@dawouiseh…you’ve got to be kidding me. There are influencers out here that lie for money, are actual predators and you want to complain she said ADHD generation? Morgan is the least problematic person on RUclips.
I absolutely LOVE the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Blush! I am pretty pale (Lancome 110), and even though I am 61 I guess I don't have much texture on my skin. They are beautiful!
Thank you for being honest about the ND Hygen highlighter! I bought it, and it is truly a chunky glitter bomb! Immediately returned. I’ve been shocked by how many people say it’s so smooth and natural. You are one of the very few that has mentioned the chunky glitters.
I really appreciate this video and type of content!! Thank you. It was my goal to be very curated on my Sephora sale purchases and not be influenced, however even swatching products at store or at home, knowing they are not good. The hype of other influencers would sometimes make me feel a bit of fomo, or that I was using the products improperly. However a validating voice likes you makes me feel seen in my choice to not aquire several hyped new releases bc they’re simply not performing to what the price tag or hype would make you think. 💞🙏🙏
Since I don't wear foundation bronzing/glow drops add a little color & radiance to my skin before I apply my under eye concealer. I agree with you about the Too Faced blush. I brought one and may return it because it doesn't last. You made excellent points, so glad you took the time to update us on how these products function long term!
I love how honest you are. Especially with the rare beauty highlight blush. everyone seems to drool over it and everyone swears to love it. But i feel like they're only loving it because it's rare beauty. I dont even have texture skin and i tried it on the it made my skin look 10x worse. and those who are raving about it are also ones bashing on products that eccentuate their skin texture :-/ I just got so frustrated and it's very hard to trust people's reviews nowadays honestly. I also agreed with you that it may work as a topper, not a blush. and even then it's really not worth it *shrug*
Loved this video! Thank you for this!! I have mature skin and I’d like to get some awesome blendable brown eyeshadows that are easy to go on. Which brand and palette would you recommend? I have the ABH Soft Glam but for some reason I find their browns hard to blend! Should I try a palette from Pat McGrath? Mario warm palette ? Which is easier to blend for dry mature skin ? Thank you Morgan! Love your channel!!❤❤
Omg the rare beauty . I didn't buy for the very reason u have said. I'm a bit older and thought I bet it shows every line, bump and pore . So I was right . Thankyou xx❤
I love these type of videos and I really appreciate your honesty and detail. I don’t use Tik Tok but I can see the effects in some of the creators I follow on IG. Another thing that infuriates me is the amount of paid reviews for brand new products. I can barely use the Sephora review section anymore, and I used to get a ton of helpful info there. One thing I notice is that people rave about a product, those Rare “blushes” that look like colorful highlighters and they will just swatch on their arm. It looks so different on the face. Or people who are like oh these don’t emphasize texture and when they show their cheeks you can see literal craters. Please lol. So thanks for all you do! I hated the Anastasia BB stick, it slid around and filled my lines. And I have normal dry skin. Just not good. But 500 paid reviews say it’s great.
I’m with you on my disappointment on the Sephora reviews. If you read them, the first few hundred are all by people given free product! I’ll rave about the latest Natasha Denona too if I got it for free!
Theres only a small handful of influencers i believe are giving their honest opinions Morgan, and you are one of the few. Nisha from Uk and Ella from Germany and Shannon from NZ and Martina from Australia.....thats my selection on honest influencers with good tips on make-up (brands, applications, useages, etc)...
I love these products. The glow recipe bronzing drops are good for days at the pool. Over sunscreen and when you don’t want a full face of makeup day. They are great after the pool. The glow recipe dew drops are a great shine for no makeup days at home. It smells so good.
I agree with the glow recipe hue drops and I have them lol. Your makeup will cover any of the "bronze" and I put it in quotes because they really could use more pigment, they're barely bronze at all once you blend it out.
Im definitely a longformat girl. I need the details! 😅 For the bronzy dew drops, the way i use them is at the end of the day when i want to refresh my worn off makeup. It reblends my seperated makeup, adds a hint of tint and my skin looks plump instead of tired!
Thank you Morgan-I had the Supergoop tint on my mind--but will still to the Supergoop UNSEEN SUNSCREEN and Saie Tint. I'm curious about how the Tower Serum Concealer compares to the new Saie Concealer--I LOVE both brands!
I like that your short form content brings me directly to your longform content! It's really a gateway in my opinion for you! other gurus do not have that!
Could you do in depth videos about products you like as well? I do find these very helpful though, I use the hue drops but now I realize they don’t add much bronzing.
About a minute into the video and I already love it. It’s so true that some influencers tend to hype up products without really explaining.. sometimes they’re being dishonest about the products, sometimes it’s just dishonesty about how excited and how much they love the product but the product isn’t bad, it’s just okay. Phlur strawberry letter has been one of my most disappointing purchases and I do research fragrances and take reviews with a grain of salt. But I had to take the risk since it’s not available in store and I was soooooo disappointed. As for make up supergoop skin tint works for me, but I also recognize everyone has different skin and skincare routine so that’s where I think influencers should talk about why it works for them or does not work for them since the details do matter.
I got the rare blush in the shade cheer and couldn’t get into it. It’s too metallic and looked really artificial. I like putting on blush up to my temples and close to my eyes and it wasn’t good, even when I tried to use less so the metallic sheen wouldn’t be as obvious. It looks great on camera on reviews I’ve watched, though. I can see this blush being great for fantasy makeup looks
as a fellow Supergoop fan who wears their SPF daily, i was also really disappointed by the Protec(tint). it made my skin texture look worse, and like you said, it's patchy and doesn't sit well :(
Loved, loved, loved this video! I would love ❤️ to see more just like it. I always love ❤️ your RUclips content. The long forms are my faves, but even your short form videos are chef’s kiss 💋! I don’t see your tik tocks because I’m not on it. I’m 47 and to impatient to learn to work yet another app. I might ask on of my nieces to teach me sometime so I can watch yours.
I didn't want to like the Supergoop protec(tint) but its fabulous on my combo leaning oily skin. Its perfect alone for my pilates days to even my skintone or under my other foundation. So interesting how products work so differently on each of us. Great video... I love hearing details after you've gotten to use products for a bit. Deinfluencing is a good thing... so we don't waste our time and $$ 💜😊
I have to tell you I love the too face blushes I have mature skin. This stays perfectly and have 5 shades and use each one. So some people do like it and I am one of them.
Can this become a series!!? LOVE this content. I'll forever be a long-form girlie. We need to be informed buyer, not robots walking around with instant payment systems in our hands.
I 💯 agre! The rare beauty highlighter and blush did not look good on. I saw everyone using it and it looked so beautiful.It sits on the skin and looks very textured on me. Gonna return both.I've used better and less expensive. Oh I also tried the too faced Cloud crush blush and returned it. Keep doing videos like this!
Agree with all of this!! Especially the new ND highlighter! I tried working with that for a few weeks and finally returned it because it was that unusable for me and I never returned anything!!
I need thoughts. I'm a creatively visual person but I need thoughts. Greatly detailed thoughts. So I thank you for your time. I adore this type of video! Please do more!
Hi Morgan! Great video!! We need more anti-hype reviews ! Thank you so much for the humorous comments - laughed out loud a few times, like when you suggested that one would have to walk around with a flashlight to make the lip gloss look as good as it does on TicToc. All these dashed hopes… 😅
Hi Morgan, Thank you for your review. I appreciate your honest and in-depth reviews so much❤ Too Faced Cool toned eyeshadow palette caught my eye, and I was thinking of picking it up, but now I am doubting. What would you recommend instead? I am on hunt for good quality real cool toned taupe eyeshadow palette.
@deborahbather7808 @deborahbather7808 Thank you for the recommendations ❤️ I have pat mcgrath and I love it. However, I miss more brownish taupe shimmer there. I regret that I had not bought Dior Cashmere before it was reformulated and became a clean beauty. Lisa Eldridge looks really a good alternative. Does it have a good formala? It is actually funny that while everyone dupes everyone, there is no similar color story of soft cashmere from Dior. I think that palette is very popular within the actual makeup consumers as well.
@@tinaposch5887 it's excellent!!! I ummed and aaahd for ever, it's neutral, leaning to grey, but very easy to use and wear. However, the Dior soft cashmere is more taupe. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either 🌹 if you look at Martina Lily, she reviews it beautifully (the Vega)
@deborahbather7808 I have just watched her. Thanks for recommending me her video. It seems that Lisa Eldridge offers something that nobody else had got: the True creamy formula. Does it fully dry down and doesn't move during the day?
Carley Bybel has that cream like powder highlighters in her makeup line. Like a super shock formula. I’m loving mine. I apply with a brush or finger. Not glittery either
Short form is a money grab: it’s turned creators into advertisers. Period. They use the same tropes that have been used since the dawn of television: the surprised face, the “I LOVE it” (aka “obsessed) endorsement, the lack of honest disclosure, the loss of critical thinking (and for those in the back row, that doesn’t mean to criticize), and a lack of comparative content. Oh, and a real lack of insight into makers of products. It’s a backslide.
I love trhe dr jart tinted spf. It can be full coverage and seems to self set. Unfortunately there are very minimal shades of it. I think it came out last year.
Those Rare beauty blushes are trash! I honestly can’t stand this current “influencer” mindset. Everything is overhyped anymore! Tik tock has ruined it for me tbh…
Really? U find them trash? Omg I just tested one at Sephora and bought all of them. Maybe it's the style of someone or the skin idk. I live them a lot and I use them every day
I think they were created with the current "blushlighter" trend in mind. If they had named them similarly, then the virality might have been more on point. But calling them trash? It's still a good product for what they truly are; they're just not ideal if you're not into blushlighting/blushtoppers and/or have texture. And then I understand the disappointment. TikTok doesn't need to have ANY influence on your life. Nor do these influencers. I simply just never watch TikTok. I might soon, but only for highly specific things. I actually made an account a few days ago. Not for beauty reviews and all the other BS on there, though, as the majority on that app shares one braincell. I heard from James Welsh that many skincare chemists/skincare creators/scientists are on TikTok to correct misinformation and to explain certain active ingredients or how skin(care) works. I have a fundamental interest in how things work. I also prefer to keep myself as informed as possible on the products I (want to) use - and it helps I can later inform my 16yo niece in turn. I'll venture to their channels a few times a month, probably. Maybe less. And that will be it for TikTok. Beauty TT? H3ll NO! Almost everyone on there only makes short form content that's supposed to go viral. In other words: it's junk. I have stayed far m far away from that since its birth, and will keep doing so. No chance they'll ever ruin things for me. When it comes to makeup, I follow a handful of down to earth, trustworthy, knowledgeable RUclipsrs - approximately 90% is a pro MUA - and pick and choose the videos that seem the most interesting to me at that time. I never know what's viral unless one of the aforementioned 'tubers debunks or confirms it in one of these deinfluencing types of videos. I, therefore, have zero stress about all the viral or overhyped stuff. It also helps that I only buy makeup when my current products don't fulfil my needs, I've hit pan, or my faves are discontinued. F.e. Atm, I've still not found the perfect higher coverage concealer, haven't found an affordable blurring undereye powder for my extremely dry & mature skin, and need an affordable Western brand cream blush (I'll probably go for Milani). I might see amazing mascaras, lipsticks or bronzers in videos, but those I already gained after enough research and/or experiences (only just a few months ago found the Holy Grail for my skintone/type powder and cream bronzer for both summer & winter). It means my ears and eyes are closed for all the nonsense, *even* when I accidentally encounter such a video (rare) or read about it. I am on the lookout for specific things, and everything that seems amazing but doesn't fit in the current needs/ budget goes on a wishlist. I still get to enjoy beauty videos and reviews, and because I can trust these influencers, it can lead to a new, recommended, Holy Grail, or I find one myself because I'm simply more knowledgeable about what's what (and what's not). Trust me: not just relaxing, but a gift to myself. Don't let your love for makeup & beauty be ruined, there a plenty ways to get around that as you can see.
Loved this video, thanks Morgan. I completely agree on long vs short form. I always trust your reviews and I love when you go into detail in long form so I can make a better informed decision. Something I really loved about this video is that you showed how to make the product work for those of us who have already been influenced to buy some of these things🥲
Morgan- I know you dont care for that eyeshadow palette but I must say that those shadows look stunning on you!!!!! I know the purpose is to de-influence but im kinda thinking I love it from seeing what you did with it!!! ❤
Please do this theme of video again. So helpful because when I’m swatching in the stores I’m disagreeing with most of these viral products coming out. This is why RUclips style videos will always be needed.
Yes! Short form videos do not work for product reviews! Imma need a wear test and a demo without any random cuts.
Too faced blushes have the cutest packaging on the market, no need to try the actual blush, who cares 😂
Exactly! I came from Sephora yesterday with this exact experience. 😂
As someone who has never been on TikTok and appreciate in depth reviews, I’m extremely grateful for these long form content you upload. Even your shorts are fun to watch as I know most are just expounding on a long video you’ve already posted.
I do not watch any short form content for this exact reason.

I could have written this - yup.
Agree with everything above poster said, except I live fairly near Sephora and Ulta and never end up returning items I don’t like because I’m so busy I order everything. So I hate wasting money on overhyped products! Thank you so much Morgan!
Yes I agree we need real reviews! The reason why I even started watched creators. So happy your still doing it the right way 😊
Morgan pls dont ever stop making your long form vids, they're so useful and fun to watch
The audience that wants nuanced and detailed reviews might be niche, but they exist! Thank you Morgan 😊

Oooo Too Faced blushes r amazing, long wearing, smoothing
Yesss
Agreed!🥰
Sameeeee I was looking for this comment and I’m glad I’m not the only one who appreciates them 😅😂

Facts!!! I’m an oily skin lady-I’m 49- supergoop is the best for me too!
The too faced blush is effortless! I love it so much.
Same!
Yes! I personally love them!! The blend and blur I get from them is awesome imo😊
Me too. I have the type of skin that “grabs” blush and then it’s hard to blend out. I don’t have that problem with the Too Faced blushes.
Too Faced head in the clouds is the only blush that stays pink on my skin all day. I have acidic skin or something because every blush turns at least slightly orange with time
YESSS CHICA!!! Short form content is catchy but as an actual avid makeup lover and user, the products that get all the hype and blow up aren't always all that great, they just explode because it's the novelty at the time. Thanks for doing these types of videos ❤
I love the Too Faced blush honestly. It smells amazing & i love the bubblegum pink shade. Ive actually hit pan. I cannot tell you the last blush i hit pan on!
Same. And it really does blur. It's amazing
I never use TikTok. I so much prefer long form videos. I appreciate the in depth explanations
Same!
Thank you so much! I am also over 40 and do not watch TikTok and appreciate your depth reviews. I shop mainly online, my local stores also don't always have all the makeup out there, and these reviews are super helpful for making decisions about what to spend money on or not ❤❤❤❤

I love your channel girl! You really try the products and I trust you cause of it! Never change that!
Thank you Morgan; appreciate your honest input!
Finally someone said something about Rare Beauty blushes as they are super hyped!! The bigger issue is that you can't travel with the Rare beauty blush or highlighters as they completely smash during transit.
I ordered one the day they came out, and of course it came broken. 🙄
Exactly! Plus… no one talked about just how deceptive it looks, in terms of how little product there actually is in them… 2.8g isn’t much at all. I have other blushers at the same price point which are around 5g.

If you buy from the site, you will not be able to return, exchange- anything. Awful customer service.
I am soooo glad you’re doing this series of videos. We need it, believe me. I see the shorts from others and they rave about a product in 2 minutes. One doesn’t know why.

appreciate you Morgan! your honest reviews are vital!!!! please do best powder blush for extremely dry skin!!! also would love what cream prep...remember I am 62 losing estrogen daily!!!Lol love your video's.
I love that you call out better products in these categories - thank you!
I bought one of the Rare Beauty blushes because I’ve been really into glowy blushes but it looks straight up metallic, not just glowy. I also have pretty good skin, and it still makes my skin look pretty bad. Way worse than the other blushlighters I have.
I really do like the rare beauty blushes, one of the best formulas and I’m overall not a rare beauty fan.
I agree even some of my favorite creators have pivoted or provide TikTok type reviews. Very happy I found you this year❤
Thanks so much for your always super honest, chrystal clear reviews and opions, dear Morgan, loved this video, thanks so much!!!!🤩🤩😘😘
This is why I still come to RUclips for makeup reviews
I agree with you on the Saie concealer! It is harsh after it dries down. Thanks for sharing your honest opinion.
I personally feel like TikTok is for the younger ADHD generation. I prefer the longer, more thorough RUclips reviews and videos that are more truthful and accurate. And I love all of your content!
Yes! All of what you said.
😮😮😮 The ADHD generation term you use is a really crappy thing to write, bordering on offensive to some. It was an unnecessary word to voice your opinion. Why not just leave it at younger generation?
@dawouiseh…you’ve got to be kidding me. There are influencers out here that lie for money, are actual predators and you want to complain she said ADHD generation? Morgan is the least problematic person on RUclips.
@dawnlouiseh it's not offensive lmao it's the truth. Tiktok and short form content have caused ADHD for an entire generation.
As a 33 year old who suffers with ADHD, screw you
I absolutely LOVE the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Blush! I am pretty pale (Lancome 110), and even though I am 61 I guess I don't have much texture on my skin. They are beautiful!
Those Rare Beauty blushes are a hard no for me. My pores could never.
Thank you for being honest about the ND Hygen highlighter! I bought it, and it is truly a chunky glitter bomb! Immediately returned.

Who’s the best? Morgan is the best! Your makeup in this video was absolutely beautiful! Tyfs
love the long form content! also the watermelon glow recipe dew drops are my holy grail!
Omg I’m so early I love you so much! You are my fav makeup and skincare RUclipsr so thank you for deinfluencing me!
Since I don't wear foundation bronzing/glow drops add a little color & radiance to my skin before I apply my under eye concealer. I agree with you about the Too Faced blush. I brought one and may return it because it doesn't last. You made excellent points, so glad you took the time to update us on how these products function long term!
Morgan, you HAVE to do an eyeliner tutorial on the eyeliner you have on now! It's flawless!
Hi Morgan!! Random question but how does the newer Make Up For Ever hd hydrating foundation compare to the NARS light revealing?
Try the clarins tinted sunscreen. Does not dry out the skin. I use it as a foundation also great as a primer.
I love how honest you are. Especially with the rare beauty highlight blush. everyone seems to drool over it and everyone swears to love it. But i feel like they're only loving it because it's rare beauty. I dont even have texture skin and i tried it on the it made my skin look 10x worse. and those who are raving about it are also ones bashing on products that eccentuate their skin texture :-/ I just got so frustrated and it's very hard to trust people's reviews nowadays honestly.

I’m with you on my disappointment on the Sephora reviews. If you read them, the first few hundred are all by people given free product! I’ll rave about the latest Natasha Denona too if I got it for free!
Thank you so much Morgan! You are very very appreciated!
Theres only a small handful of influencers i believe are giving their honest opinions Morgan, and you are one of the few. Nisha from Uk and Ella from Germany and Shannon from NZ and Martina from Australia.....thats my selection on honest influencers with good tips on make-up (brands, applications, useages, etc)...
Hi :) can you share the channel name of Ella? I couldn't be sure I found her.
I love these products. The glow recipe bronzing drops are good for days at the pool. Over sunscreen and when you don’t want a full face of makeup day. They are great after the pool. The glow recipe dew drops are a great shine for no makeup days at home. It smells so good.
I agree! Thanks for keeping it real, Morgan. Appreciate your honest reviews ❤
I agree with the glow recipe hue drops and I have them lol. Your makeup will cover any of the "bronze" and I put it in quotes because they really could use more pigment, they're barely bronze at all once you blend it out.
Im definitely a longformat girl. I need the details! 😅
For the bronzy dew drops, the way i use them is at the end of the day when i want to refresh my worn off makeup. It reblends my seperated makeup, adds a hint of tint and my skin looks plump instead of tired!
I love this type of videos! I know I don’t trust much short form content. If a product shows up there I just pass it by without a second thought.
I have mature under eyes and the Saie concealer is amazing!! You just have to put a good eye cream before applying the concealer. I love it!
Oh Morgan, please don’t ever leave long form youtube! Your videos are top tier. 👏
Thank you Morgan-I had the Supergoop tint on my mind--but will still to the Supergoop UNSEEN SUNSCREEN and Saie Tint. I'm curious about how the Tower Serum Concealer compares to the new Saie Concealer--I LOVE both brands!
Thank you Morgan ❤
I like that your short form content brings me directly to your longform content! It's really a gateway in my opinion for you! other gurus do not have that!
Could you do in depth videos about products you like as well? I do find these very helpful though, I use the hue drops but now I realize they don’t add much bronzing.
I love the lip vinyls, especially the shimmers. Shimmering daisy and pink lily in the rear view mirror....omg. To me they are extra shiny and thicker.
haha I love the Too Faced blush. Idk why it feels special to me. But I don’t try nearly as much make up as you!
would be interesting to see a video about your favourite spf products and how they work with makeup 😊🌞💕
About a minute into the video and I already love it. It’s so true that some influencers tend to hype up products without really explaining.. sometimes they’re being dishonest about the products, sometimes it’s just dishonesty about how excited and how much they love the product but the product isn’t bad, it’s just okay. Phlur strawberry letter has been one of my most disappointing purchases and I do research fragrances and take reviews with a grain of salt. But I had to take the risk since it’s not available in store and I was soooooo disappointed.
As for make up supergoop skin tint works for me, but I also recognize everyone has different skin and skincare routine so that’s where I think influencers should talk about why it works for them or does not work for them since the details do matter.
I got the rare blush in the shade cheer and couldn’t get into it. It’s too metallic and looked really artificial. I like putting on blush up to my temples and close to my eyes and it wasn’t good, even when I tried to use less so the metallic sheen wouldn’t be as obvious. It looks great on camera on reviews I’ve watched, though. I can see this blush being great for fantasy makeup looks
I have TikTok but I check it like twice a month, so thank you for uploading these in depth reviews about "viral" products!! 💕
Good afternoon, Morgan! Happy Friday! Im loving this! I hope you have a fabulous weekend 😊🩵🩷💜💚💚🧡
as a fellow Supergoop fan who wears their SPF daily, i was also really disappointed by the Protec(tint). it made my skin texture look worse, and like you said, it's patchy and doesn't sit well :(
The Supergoop Protec(tint) made another content creator break out. Thank you Morgan for your wonderful long-form videos!😍💕
GOOD VIDEO AS ALWAYS
KUTE THUMBNAIL THO
YOU LOOKING HELLA BEAUTIFUL
MAKEUP ALWAYS LOOK PRETTY
HAVE A AMAZING WEEKEND
😇😇STAY BLESS N BE SAFE ALWAYS
Loved, loved, loved this video! I would love ❤️ to see more just like it. I always love ❤️ your RUclips content. The long forms are my faves, but even your short form videos are chef’s kiss 💋! I don’t see your tik tocks because I’m not on it. I’m 47 and to impatient to learn to work yet another app. I might ask on of my nieces to teach me sometime so I can watch yours.
I didn't want to like the Supergoop protec(tint) but its fabulous on my combo leaning oily skin. Its perfect alone for my pilates days to even my skintone or under my other foundation. So interesting how products work so differently on each of us. Great video... I love hearing details after you've gotten to use products for a bit. Deinfluencing is a good thing... so we don't waste our time and $$ 💜😊
I have to tell you I love the too face blushes I have mature skin. This stays perfectly and have 5 shades and use each one. So some people do like it and I am one of them.
Can this become a series!!? LOVE this content. I'll forever be a long-form girlie. We need to be informed buyer, not robots walking around with instant payment systems in our hands.
I 💯 agre! The rare beauty highlighter and blush did not look good on. I saw everyone using it and it looked so beautiful.It sits on the skin and looks very textured on me. Gonna return both.I've used better and less expensive. Oh I also tried the too faced Cloud crush blush and returned it. Keep doing videos like this!
I love the hue drops so much
Morgan have you tried the luminous baked Laura Mercier powder. It’s has a little coverage and doesn’t make you real matte.
Agree with all of this!! Especially the new ND highlighter! I tried working with that for a few weeks and finally returned it because it was that unusable for me and I never returned anything!!
I need thoughts. I'm a creatively visual person but I need thoughts. Greatly detailed thoughts. So I thank you for your time. I adore this type of video! Please do more!
Hi Morgan! Great video!! We need more anti-hype reviews ! Thank you so much for the humorous comments - laughed out loud a few times, like when you suggested that one would have to walk around with a flashlight to make the lip gloss look as good as it does on TicToc. All these dashed hopes… 😅
I don't like my rare beauty blush highlighter either. Mine is too dark which shouldn't be the case for a blush. It's a berry highlighter
❤ thanks!
Thank you for an interesting and useful video 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Have you tried the glossier highlighter??
Love the in depth reviews unless it’s a makeup reviewer I trust from RUclips that I’ve been watching.
Hi Morgan, Thank you for your review. I appreciate your honest and in-depth reviews so much❤ Too Faced Cool toned eyeshadow palette caught my eye, and I was thinking of picking it up, but now I am doubting. What would you recommend instead? I am on hunt for good quality real cool toned taupe eyeshadow palette.
Hi! I've got Lisa Eldridge Vega, Dior soft cashmere and pat mother ship I....all beautiful cool toned. Soft cashmere is the most taupe I think. ❤
@deborahbather7808 @deborahbather7808 Thank you for the recommendations ❤️ I have pat mcgrath and I love it. However, I miss more brownish taupe shimmer there. I regret that I had not bought Dior Cashmere before it was reformulated and became a clean beauty. Lisa Eldridge looks really a good alternative. Does it have a good formala?
It is actually funny that while everyone dupes everyone, there is no similar color story of soft cashmere from Dior. I think that palette is very popular within the actual makeup consumers as well.
@@tinaposch5887 it's excellent!!! I ummed and aaahd for ever, it's neutral, leaning to grey, but very easy to use and wear. However, the Dior soft cashmere is more taupe. I don't think you'd be disappointed with either 🌹 if you look at Martina Lily, she reviews it beautifully (the Vega)
@deborahbather7808 I have just watched her. Thanks for recommending me her video. It seems that Lisa Eldridge offers something that nobody else had got: the True creamy formula. Does it fully dry down and doesn't move during the day?
@@tinaposch5887 yes, it's truly lovely. I use ud primer potion and I'm good all day!
I’m sorry, I love Too Faced blush. Amazing 😊
So happy with your content
I enjoyed this video! Woah, you Lashes are amazing! Which ones are they?
I much prefer the in depth review format, that’s why I stick to RUclips and try to keep the viral makeup trends on TikTok out of my feed
Morgan you should try Bioderma tinted sunscreen or Dr. Jart’s ceramidin tinted moisturiser with spf 45 instead of supergoop
Carley Bybel has that cream like powder highlighters in her makeup line. Like a super shock formula. I’m loving mine. I apply with a brush or finger. Not glittery either
Short form is a money grab: it’s turned creators into advertisers. Period. They use the same tropes that have been used since the dawn of television: the surprised face, the “I LOVE it” (aka “obsessed) endorsement, the lack of honest disclosure, the loss of critical thinking (and for those in the back row, that doesn’t mean to criticize), and a lack of comparative content. Oh, and a real lack of insight into makers of products.
It’s a backslide.
I love trhe dr jart tinted spf. It can be full coverage and seems to self set. Unfortunately there are very minimal shades of it. I think it came out last year.
Those Rare beauty blushes are trash! I honestly can’t stand this current “influencer” mindset. Everything is overhyped anymore! Tik tock has ruined it for me tbh…
Really? U find them trash? Omg I just tested one at Sephora and bought all of them. Maybe it's the style of someone or the skin idk. I live them a lot and I use them every day
I think they were created with the current "blushlighter" trend in mind. If they had named them similarly, then the virality might have been more on point. But calling them trash? It's still a good product for what they truly are; they're just not ideal if you're not into blushlighting/blushtoppers and/or have texture. And then I understand the disappointment.
TikTok doesn't need to have ANY influence on your life. Nor do these influencers. I simply just never watch TikTok. I might soon, but only for highly specific things. I actually made an account a few days ago. Not for beauty reviews and all the other BS on there, though, as the majority on that app shares one braincell. I heard from James Welsh that many skincare chemists/skincare creators/scientists are on TikTok to correct misinformation and to explain certain active ingredients or how skin(care) works. I have a fundamental interest in how things work. I also prefer to keep myself as informed as possible on the products I (want to) use - and it helps I can later inform my 16yo niece in turn. I'll venture to their channels a few times a month, probably. Maybe less. And that will be it for TikTok.
Beauty TT? H3ll NO! Almost everyone on there only makes short form content that's supposed to go viral. In other words: it's junk. I have stayed far m far away from that since its birth, and will keep doing so. No chance they'll ever ruin things for me.
When it comes to makeup, I follow a handful of down to earth, trustworthy, knowledgeable RUclipsrs - approximately 90% is a pro MUA - and pick and choose the videos that seem the most interesting to me at that time. I never know what's viral unless one of the aforementioned 'tubers debunks or confirms it in one of these deinfluencing types of videos. I, therefore, have zero stress about all the viral or overhyped stuff. It also helps that I only buy makeup when my current products don't fulfil my needs, I've hit pan, or my faves are discontinued. F.e. Atm, I've still not found the perfect higher coverage concealer, haven't found an affordable blurring undereye powder for my extremely dry & mature skin, and need an affordable Western brand cream blush (I'll probably go for Milani). I might see amazing mascaras, lipsticks or bronzers in videos, but those I already gained after enough research and/or experiences (only just a few months ago found the Holy Grail for my skintone/type powder and cream bronzer for both summer & winter). It means my ears and eyes are closed for all the nonsense, *even* when I accidentally encounter such a video (rare) or read about it. I am on the lookout for specific things, and everything that seems amazing but doesn't fit in the current needs/ budget goes on a wishlist. I still get to enjoy beauty videos and reviews, and because I can trust these influencers, it can lead to a new, recommended, Holy Grail, or I find one myself because I'm simply more knowledgeable about what's what (and what's not). Trust me: not just relaxing, but a gift to myself.
Don't let your love for makeup & beauty be ruined, there a plenty ways to get around that as you can see.
I loved this. I did not buy either blush. Thanks for validating what I thought. I want a blush, not a highlighter.
That balm COATED my crush I needed to soak my brush in olive oil to remove all the makeup residue.
Those lashes look so good on you!
Loved this video, thanks Morgan. I completely agree on long vs short form. I always trust your reviews and I love when you go into detail in long form so I can make a better informed decision. Something I really loved about this video is that you showed how to make the product work for those of us who have already been influenced to buy some of these things🥲
Morgan- I know you dont care for that eyeshadow palette but I must say that those shadows look stunning on you!!!!! I know the purpose is to de-influence but im kinda thinking I love it from seeing what you did with it!!! ❤
