Why it worked
The video uses a relatable premise about makeup and generational differences, combined with a visual gag, to create a humorous and shareable piece of content.
Summary
The video humorously contrasts the creator's skin with the idea of using their mom's foundation, implying their own foundation is superior. It then shows a foundation stick, presumably the mom's, as a point of comparison.

Product placement
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation (ACTS - it is shown as the product the creator uses, implying it's the subject of the video's comparison; removing it would change the video's focus) Sephora (APPEARS - it is mentioned in the caption as a place to buy the product, but not directly interacted with or shown as a primary focus; removing it would not change what happens in the video)
