robert welsh, professional MUA, has an identical twin brother, AND brad mondo, professional hairstylist, ALSO has an identical twin brother?? i feel like there's a conspiracy theory in there somewhere
If this is real it isnt surprising...its not like identical twins dont exist 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ i cant tell if theyre the same or not...as twins sound similar.
@@Ehros hahahaha I know!! Well, I don't, but I'm v close with my sister, like no idea, and I know what she means with the tone she says the words, it can be the same word but different tone and I totally get what she's trying to say hahahahaha
I showed this video to my grandmother who is 94 and has used Pond's her whole life. She thinks we clean our faces too much now and strip away our natural barrier. She kept saying, "those boys are so cute."
If you didn't have that little eyebrow scar I never would've believed that this wasn't clever editing 😂 I mean I know you're twins but y'all are maybe the *most* identical twins I've ever seen
I think his brother has more round and short face compared to his face which is kinda thin and longer. Also the bone structure is slightly different, his brother has more defined one, and the skin tissue itself..I mean. Wow I come off like such a creep but I swear i studied that stuff a bit. There's no completely identical twins, it took me few minutes to compare them and point out the details.
I honestly thought he had used an eyebrow product to fill in the scar from video to video when I was first watching and he just didn't fill it in constantly.
maggie dillon EVERYONE in our family cannot tell our twin boys apart. They are 2.5 y/o and not even their grandparents can tell them apart. Lol, they are not identical.
I showed this video to my 95 year old grandmother and she started laughing and covering her eyes, she also said she painted her nylons on with eyeliner or grease pen!
@Nina Shroomsburgh yes it was symbolic of the nylon tights back seam, they couldn't get real nylons back then because the material was seized to make parachutes !

I find this comment interesting. Because to me she doesn’t sound commanding at all. I guess we all hear with unhealed wounds and feel the (old) pain when triggered by familiar occurrences. Good to know that this part of me is healed finally. So thank your for your comment which brought this to my consciousness 💋
I love how y’all actually listen to each other and ask legit questions instead of just sitting there saying “yeah” and then talking about what you know. It’s such a refreshing video.
That foundation was what we called “pancake” makeup. It was thick, oily and went on really heavy. Your skin had no texture because it was buried beneath a layer of lightly pigmented grease that was set with plain, white, baby powder. There were some that were tinted, but they were hard to find and too expensive for most ordinary women. And, after you removed your makeup with your cold cream, you washed it with soap and water then put on another layer of cold cream before you went to bed. There was no such thing as dry skin with that regimen. Even straight soap couldn’t dry out skin covered in Pond’s cold cream!
I noticed that too...I dont think they heared that it was cold cream not a cleansing cream because Ive never heared of anyone rinsing off cold cream before.
I still use ponds cold cream to remove my makeup because it's gentler than makeup remover and leaves my skin feeling soft. I love some of the classic products that have stood the test of time
@@kelsey2333 It hasn't ever negatively effected my skin, I'm sure it depends on your skin type....I have also tried olive oil as a makeup remover and it works great as well...
I love how Rob looks at James' reactions to see how he feels about certain parts of the skin care lol! Like "mmmmmmm i don't agree with THAT but do YOU"
Yes, I noticed in general Robert looks at his brother when James is speaking, but James doesn't look at Robert when he's speaking. I think Robert is more of an empath..and I love him! ♥️ Love both of them but Rob is my boo 🥰
@@Mcoogie Ohh! I didn't notice that. But it's true that Robert seems naturally more empathic toward his brother. Like in the second 'my twin does my makeup' video. When he visibly struggled not to say that everything was wrong when asked, or whenever he tried so hard to find points to compliment him on during the whole process while being gentle in his reaction toward the result itself 😳
I stopped baking because of you! I just mimicked what other girls on TH-cam did but I realized our skin is so different how could the steps be the same! Anyway I'm so glad I found you cuz I like my makeup so much better now :)
Celenia Duenas and the world breathes a collective sigh of relief 😂 good for you. So many ppl young and old feeling like they have to do the EXACT same thing they seem these self described makeup experts and gurus do when really it's just a normal person with their own opinions, or recreating something THEY watched. You dont need to do it bc everyone is different, you dont need all the steps or to buy all the things, especially when they are no benefit, or in fact actually make you look worse and harm your skin
What’s crazy about baking and a defined contour is that these techniques were originally used in drag makeup when men would dress up to play female roles in the dramatic setting in the old times. But it’s crazy how drag makeup has evolved! Now, if you want to use these techniques to do drag style makeup on purpose, nothing wrong there. But if one is doing it because of a trend or because they’re seeing beauty gurus do it online, well, they’re in for a rude awakening.
Since I was born in the 1940’s, let me give you a lesson about cold cream. There’s no way on earth you can remove 1940’s cold cream with water. My grandmother, mother and aunts all used cold cream then tissues it off. This was followed by a wash with Ivory soap or Camay which was considered a beauty bar. They all had beautiful skin and didn’t start to show wrinkles until late 60’s/early 70’s. I guess they were doing something right.
I use ponds to take off my makeup and I wash off the cold cream, use tissues to wipe it off, and then I go in with some witch hazel on a cotton pad (or two, if there’s still excess makeup). I have hardly any acne these days, but back when I was using the most popular brands my acne was awful.
broooooo i have a friend who always wakes up toooo toooo late for school, so she puts on her makeup at night and sleeps with it.... like... luckily its only brows and mascara, no face-produkts, but holy shit, I was SHOCKED to say the least...
For the time, it was the best regimen for skincare. They didn’t have the technology we have. I enjoy watching vintage makeup and fashions. We are so taken in excess that we have forgotten how to value simple things. I enjoyed yall
I noticed she didn't use any eye makeup at all, I think that's because it was considered a bit vampy after the 30s, and ordinary women were supposed to look modest and natural.
I agree. In my opinion the simple makeup look that women wore in that time was very beautiful and easy for anyone to achieve. Even though the foundation formula was thick it still looks more natural than super heavy and exaggerated contour that is not blended properly. Or overlined lips. Sometimes less is more.
This lady was using Ponds Cold Cream cleanser to remove her makeup. It needed to be removed with a hot wash cloth as it cintained mineral oil and beeswax. Water alone would not remove this cream. Back in the day, cold cream was really cheap. This is what Liz Earl's hot cloth cleanser is, just a lot more expensive.
I LOVE the identical reaction of pure horror when she swiped that tissue under her eyes 😂😂 Also now I have to go burn my makeup eraser it came in my FFF box IM SORRY I DIDNT KNOW 😭
I got that makeup eraser in my FFF box too, back in December, and I still hadn't used it. I'm so glad I watched this! James says something early in the video about his skin turning red if he rubs it too much - I'm the same. I'm now horrified at the thought of what USING that cloth could have done to my poor fair Irish skin.
I love my magic mitt from Jane Iredale. I put a touch of cleanser on it and am very gentle. There's no irritation or tugging if it's quality microfiber. _an esthetician
@@AndromedaChace I agree with this, I also use one and you really don't need to be rough at all to remove the makeup. I literally just slide it/pat it on my face and then wash with foaming cleanser and I'm good. no redness, no irritation, I really like it.
I use my makeup eraser to help rinse my first cleanse from around my hair line, neck and ears. It holds so much water and its soft so its so gentle. I also like to use them like a hot steam cloth in the bath. It's all about your own tactile awareness, I don't use a rough scrubbing motion.
Mette Nygaard same, i was so thrown off earlier when i saw a recommended vid from James but now he’s Robert? I thought he was James? And here somebody clearly just cloned himself? XD Jokes aside, I love them both!
Here we are, a year later, and they’ve started a joint channel and replicated a 1700s makeup tutorial, when everyone ACTUALLY put lead on their face 😂 brilliant!
My identical twin sister and I are weirdly identical and we really mirror each other when we are together. I now understand what other people experience when they see us together.
My grandma recently passed just shy of being 95 & I lived w/her for a few yrs & she always put her lips on as soon as she got up everyday & the way this girl applied her lipstick is how my grandma applied hers. Thank you for making me smile over a fun memory of grandma! Plus you two are hilarious! Also, they may have been using Merle Norman pan makeup which was more of a stage makeup.
that camera behind them is a mirror which means james' back view should be there as well but idk. they seem to be in a green screen and the background is just edited
Okay so my grandmother is 74, just turned 74, and she at most looks like she's in her early 60s. The woman is gorgeous, hardly any wrinkles, and you can tell she took great care of herself when she was younger.
Seeing this it's incredible to see how far skin care and makeup has come! And the amount of products we have at our disposal now is phenomenal. It just amazes me that eventhough they had such limited access to products the women of the 1940's looked so elegant, polished and put together (maybe it's still the romaticised version in my head!!). I'm sure if we were to try and replicate the look we'd end up using triple the amount of products and still not be able to embody that vibe! Great video Robert and it was lovely to see James too 😊
They didn’t have limited access to products silly. The drugstores and beauty shops were full of every kind of beauty supplies and makeup just like now.
I think this topic is so fascinating! I have a history degree and I’ve actually researched this a bit! “Vanishing cream” was a less oily companion to cold cream. It was oil in water, rather than water in oil. It was supposed to “vanish into your skin” but leave it moisturized enough to hold on to your face powder. Vanishing creams contained stearic acid and an alkali which caused a “pearly” sheen that was desirable. They also contained a polyol, like glycerin, as a humectant/preservative. Pond’s still makes variations of this. This cream/powder combo was created to make a more matte face (grease paint was popular in early, silent films but as film technology improved something more natural looking on screen was needed. Women copied the look.) Max factor creates the cream + powder combo with varying shades-the first real “foundation.” So cool! I believe it’s English Heritage that does a cool series on historical makeup, all the lead ceruse and awful problems caused by it. 😬 They do a great job with everything but the Ancient Rome look, imo.
Thank you so much for introducing the English Heritage channel! I never knew that channel existed! Did you mean this video of theirs? th-cam.com/video/YMzBcxL_6BA/w-d-xo.html
I'd been watching both of your channels for months thinking you were one person ... I thought todays video was some elaborate well choreographed green-screen trickery until I saw the description box. I'm embarrassed. I'll just leave now. Love you both
Omg! I just binged a few of james' videos last night and today I clicked on Robert and I aso thought it was his second channel or something like that. One main with lots of subscribers and the blog channel with less... Hahahaha I am glad I am noticin the only one!😊😊😊
You can still find Max Factor PanStick which is full coverage cream makeup online. I would love to see you make up your face or someone else, following this old tutorial. You guys are fun to watch. You are both adorable!
Oh my gosh you are the most lovely set of twins ive ever laid my eyes on! So Charming and positive and eloquently spoken. And gorg! So glad i found this channel! :)
I'd love to see you try and recreate a 40's or 50's makeup look! Obviously it'd be a little different since you have facial hair but I think that would be a fun video
There's something so nostalgic about historical makeup. I'm obsessed with historical and vintage clothing and makeup from the 1350s all the way to the 1950s
okay WHAT. MIND BLOWN. I literally just watched a bunch of your vidoes going "I had NO IDEA you were a makeup artist!" thinking you were James. I even hit the subscribe going WTF why did it usubscribe me. I even thought... since when did he get harry potter brow.
A lady at my work came in with a full face of make up (which we complimented because it actually looked so good) and she proudly tells us it was 3 days old because she had it done at Mac and had a 2 day concert and then a date on the third day. DISGOSTIN !
Shelby’s Secondary Adventures It was a weird experience, tbh. I’m like, “Is this some sassy alter ego thing hellbent on skincare? Oh, shit, that’s actually another person.”
That's one thing I notice about these old beauty tutorials is they never use water directly on their face. We are so lucky to live in a time where we have access to the best advice and products.
Robert Welsh there’s a really good one from the 80s on here! It’s done by a professional makeup artist and it talks a lot about color theory. I love it a lot 💜
You are so right about cleansing and toning.ive been a beauty therapist for over 30 years and it’s so hard to get through to people not to treat oily skin harshly
Am I the only one that can easily tell the difference between you two when you collab? 😂 I love you guys so much sorry for for spamming you a bit with comments
@@RobertWelsh thanks! I'm really enjoying your videos because most beauty youtubers are very toxic and petty but your videos are informative and calming
I can remember my grandmother telling me to use methylated spirits when my acne was so bad, I would wash my face with soap, then use methylated spirits as a toner with cotton wool, and the dirt I used to get off my face after washing was ridiculous!!! Yes it was basically straight alcohol, yes my face felt so tight it was ridiculous but it actually cleared my acne, thinking back now I’m like NOOOOOOOO! 😂😂😂
Okay seeing you two together made me recover from the shock of watching your other video thinking you were James at first lmao (And as you can see I already started the binge of all your videos as well, at 2am, great.)
I love when the Twins get together because I feel like I’m being taken to school on everything skin care. They are both super knowledgeable and will let you know where the other one lacks with makeup and skincare. Love the duo!
The lady in the video used cold cream to remove her makeup. It's very effective and you do have to use tissue or a wash cloth to wipe it away. It's gentler on the skin compared to some makeup wipes, as long as you're not rough or forceful when wiping your face. Some people still use it. Tools of trade for morticians I think...
I knew that video before because I’m really into makeup and fashion history and I adore the way the girls applied their makeup. They focused on the lipstick and kept everything else very minimal.
I love how when one of them is talking, the other brother looks and listens so intently like they’re learning from each other and/or supporting their brother for giving sound advice ❤️
I love how Robert looks at James in pretty much every video. Such a loving brother. But if there were bubbles they'd totally say stuff like "why don't you highlight?!" .."let me beat that face".. "green would be great on you"... "a little pluck right there".. We see you Mr Judgey pants, lol ;) love you guys!
So happy to hear that my double cleanse at night is the way to go! Lol. I'm absolutely obsessed with skincare. And I was so happy to hear that for the most part I have really good habits/techniques.
You can definitely tell who is the makeup pro and who is the skincare guru! James is dewey and fresh faced and Robert has a flawless natural look🖤I love it!
OMG!! the 1940's were more, "would you like a skincare routine with your box of tissues?" it especially gets scary at 5:49 where you can see our lovely Robert instinctively touching his eyes, 5:52 as if confirming that his under eyes were still intact 😂😂😂 after witnessing the horror that was... 'best way to remove makeup' brought to you by ponds tissues.
Maybe it's too old-fashioned of me, but the idea of a skincare class sounds great to me. Obviously, it would be open to any students, and there would be so much to learn and try.
I was raised by my grandmother who is 90 now. She always called a heavy moisturizer "cold cream", she used it to remove makeup, then cleansed with soap, just like this.
My mum was born in 1932. She went to modelling school and was taught grooming. She told me that she ‘cleansed, toned and nourished’. She used ponds cold cream to remove makeup, toned (sometimes used witch hazel) and I can’t remember if she used ponds to moisturise too. Her makeup was Leichner stage makeup, I think they called it ‘pan cake’. Her powder she used to get from a store that they would mix on the spot to get your skin tone.
It's so nice to hear commentary on vintage tutorials from someone knowledgable about makeup and its history instead of just "OMG THEY'RE USING THEIR FINGERS?! THEY DIDN'T USE [modern product]!!" over and over.
This is exactly how my grandmother did her skincare up until her 80s. Ponds cold cream, wiped away with a tissue, no 2nd cleanse. Sometimes a little more cold cream added back on as a moisturizer. Her makeup was minimal too - mostly powder, mascara, and lipstick (she used the lipstick for blusher as well). I once asked her what makeup she used when she was young (1930s, 40s) and she said she only had one tube of red lipstick. They didn't have much money to spend on non-essentials.
Just found you guys - love your channels. As an esthetician, you are correct about oily skin, if you consistently strip the oil off your skin it will overcompensate by producing more oil. Also toner typically is used to return the skin to it’s natural ph, which is normally on the acid side of the ph scale. Cleansers are alkaline so it helps to bring your ph back after a cleanse, so the protective barrier that your skin provides from bacteria etc. is maintained you can use a moisturizer to do the same thing also. 😎
I guess you guys haven't heard of Pond's Cold Cream. It's a cleanser that contains oils. I used to use it when I wore greasepaint as it is SO effective. It works best if you remove it with a warm cloth and follow with a facial cleanser. I agree with you guys and the microfiber cloths.. microfiber will cut the skin... xXx
We used to use Ponds until we saw how awfully they advertise skin lighting creams to different markets. In India for example the advert was literally "your life will be shit if you have dark skin, lighten your skin and your life will be perfect." So appalling.
My makeup has completely changed after finding your channel & my face has greatly appreciated it. Thank you! Now I can educate my friends who feel baking is a necessity 😂
The cold cream she's using when she starts to cleanse her face in the beginning is Pond's Cold Cream, which is still available today. I use cold cream to remove my makeup (I use a soft cloth with warm water NOT tissue), but I prefer Jergen's because it isn't as strongly fragranced.
It's so funny how people don't change. My grandmother was born in 1938 (married in 1955 and had 2 children by the time she was 20...She was absolutely darling in that post-war way, she was so cute). I can remember she let my sister and I into her makeup (which by the 1990's she had nixed the vanishing cream and been using actual foundation, though she sometimes called it vanishing cream - it wasn't. It was cover girl), I loved her little powder puff - something she STILL uses. I can remember when it came time to take off the makeup she'd get out her large jar of Ponds. No water. Just ponds and some tissues. So funny to see that she probably saw this film in gym class in the 7th grade or something.
I remember Clean and Clear's alcohol tone, it was so painful to use. I'm convinced that it permanently damaged my skin cuz now I suffer with extreme dryness. Now I use tea tree or green tea based toners (without alcohol) to prep my skin for moisturizer/serums, because if my skin is dried out it has a hard time absorbing product.
What a wonderful way to end my week watching you two lovelies. So help me I smile whenever I watch your facial expressions. I was hoping you'd all speak to the ghost white look of the instructor. I realize her look was acceptable for the time and of course the filming but all I could think of was Casper the ghost. Sorry, I may have had a couple of drinks as well.
My great Aunts used this routine. Even in their late 80's they had great skin. The vanishing cream had an oily texture. Dove soap was great compared to the lard soap they grew up with. They taught my Aunt and myself this cleansing routine. I used this routine for a long time and then science improved the way we take care of our skin/faces thank goodness. Have a great day.

This! You would be there forever and a day trying to get it off if you add water and try to emulsify. The generational gaps are quite humorous. :)

Naja R. H. Pedersen noooooo!!! R u serious!! 😂😂
Better off just not putting makeup on
also, brows and mascara only takes two minutes. i would do them on the bus. i have done them on the bus.
oh god i’m getting conjunctivitis just reading this comment
I know one of those. 'cept she wears the whole shabang
For the time, it was the best regimen for skincare. They didn’t have the technology we have. I enjoy watching vintage makeup and fashions. We are so taken in excess that we have forgotten how to value simple things. I enjoyed yall
Thank you !! We have so much now ! (Mostly unnecessary) 🖤
I noticed she didn't use any eye makeup at all, I think that's because it was considered a bit vampy after the 30s, and ordinary women were supposed to look modest and natural.
I agree. In my opinion the simple makeup look that women wore in that time was very beautiful and easy for anyone to achieve. Even though the foundation formula was thick it still looks more natural than super heavy and exaggerated contour that is not blended properly. Or overlined lips. Sometimes less is more.
@@chelseamercer3825 I like both tbf
This lady was using Ponds Cold Cream cleanser to remove her makeup. It needed to be removed with a hot wash cloth as it cintained mineral oil and beeswax. Water alone would not remove this cream. Back in the day, cold cream was really cheap. This is what Liz Earl's hot cloth cleanser is, just a lot more expensive.
I said this same thing before I found this comment lol
Pond's cold cream and noxema was what I thought of first thing.
Nivea cold cream is still pretty cheap
I STILL use Ponds! So cheap and best for removing eye makeup. I then follow with DNC Olive Oil cleanser.
You wouldn't use just water, you'd have to go in with a foaming cleanser
I LOVE the identical reaction of pure horror when she swiped that tissue under her eyes 😂😂
Also now I have to go burn my makeup eraser it came in my FFF box IM SORRY I DIDNT KNOW 😭
You can use cleanser with it I think?
I got that makeup eraser in my FFF box too, back in December, and I still hadn't used it. I'm so glad I watched this! James says something early in the video about his skin turning red if he rubs it too much - I'm the same. I'm now horrified at the thought of what USING that cloth could have done to my poor fair Irish skin.
I love my magic mitt from Jane Iredale. I put a touch of cleanser on it and am very gentle. There's no irritation or tugging if it's quality microfiber.
_an esthetician
@@AndromedaChace I agree with this, I also use one and you really don't need to be rough at all to remove the makeup. I literally just slide it/pat it on my face and then wash with foaming cleanser and I'm good. no redness, no irritation, I really like it.
I use my makeup eraser to help rinse my first cleanse from around my hair line, neck and ears. It holds so much water and its soft so its so gentle. I also like to use them like a hot steam cloth in the bath. It's all about your own tactile awareness, I don't use a rough scrubbing motion.
I literally just found James channel yesterday and I was so confused for a minute 😂
Same 😂😂
TT TT this took me tf out because it legit looks like he photoshopped himself in the video to talk to himself.💀💀💀
Found them both today.. im so confused 😂
Mette Nygaard same, i was so thrown off earlier when i saw a recommended vid from James but now he’s Robert? I thought he was James? And here somebody clearly just cloned himself? XD Jokes aside, I love them both!
@@wodnyrak haha yes!!! I just kept watching and started wondering why the introduction was different 😂 but they are amazing!
“Maybe they’re using lead?” 🤷🏻♀️
I died.
Hopefully not from lead poisoning lol
Here we are, a year later, and they’ve started a joint channel and replicated a 1700s makeup tutorial, when everyone ACTUALLY put lead on their face 😂 brilliant!
My identical twin sister and I are weirdly identical and we really mirror each other when we are together. I now understand what other people experience when they see us together.
I’ve been guilty of saying to twins “🤭 omg are you twins!? You look so alike!” To other twins 😝
Robert Welsh Ugh! Same!!!
Robert Welsh this is too funny lol
I know it’s amazing , I didn’t meet many twins in my young days. I really see why people see us as special
My grandma recently passed just shy of being 95 & I lived w/her for a few yrs & she always put her lips on as soon as she got up everyday & the way this girl applied her lipstick is how my grandma applied hers. Thank you for making me smile over a fun memory of grandma! Plus you two are hilarious! Also, they may have been using Merle Norman pan makeup which was more of a stage makeup.
Is it just me or does james look like he’s been photoshopped into the video?
haha just the way he's slightly in the foreground
They both do to me bc the color and light on them look different than the background
that camera behind them is a mirror which means james' back view should be there as well but idk. they seem to be in a green screen and the background is just edited
@@hoe_seokie The mirror is tilted to the right.....
Yeah I thought that too.
Okay so my grandmother is 74, just turned 74, and she at most looks like she's in her early 60s. The woman is gorgeous, hardly any wrinkles, and you can tell she took great care of herself when she was younger.
My grandma used olive oil on her face and nivea cream. And she did not have much wrinkles at all.
So I guess the old routine wasnt so bad.
My mom has always used fucking CRISCO.
@@sinandcyanide7505 Omg my friends mom did that😂😳
@@bonny-rosenash8685 I mean, she looks really young for her age doo maybe it's working? Lol
@@sinandcyanide7505 maybe we're the weird ones for not using it on our face lol
@@bonny-rosenash8685 must be! 🤣
Seeing this it's incredible to see how far skin care and makeup has come! And the amount of products we have at our disposal now is phenomenal. It just amazes me that eventhough they had such limited access to products the women of the 1940's looked so elegant, polished and put together (maybe it's still the romaticised version in my head!!). I'm sure if we were to try and replicate the look we'd end up using triple the amount of products and still not be able to embody that vibe! Great video Robert and it was lovely to see James too 😊
I do still wonder how they look so amazing back then! They really did just have the basics! Thank you so much!! 🖤🖤🖤
The (lack of) image quality also do the trick
They didn’t have limited access to products silly. The drugstores and beauty shops were full of every kind of beauty supplies and makeup just like now.
I think this topic is so fascinating! I have a history degree and I’ve actually researched this a bit! “Vanishing cream” was a less oily companion to cold cream. It was oil in water, rather than water in oil. It was supposed to “vanish into your skin” but leave it moisturized enough to hold on to your face powder. Vanishing creams contained stearic acid and an alkali which caused a “pearly” sheen that was desirable. They also contained a polyol, like glycerin, as a humectant/preservative. Pond’s still makes variations of this.
This cream/powder combo was created to make a more matte face (grease paint was popular in early, silent films but as film technology improved something more natural looking on screen was needed. Women copied the look.)
Max factor creates the cream + powder combo with varying shades-the first real “foundation.” So cool! I believe it’s English Heritage that does a cool series on historical makeup, all the lead ceruse and awful problems caused by it. 😬 They do a great job with everything but the Ancient Rome look, imo.
Thank you so much for introducing the English Heritage channel! I never knew that channel existed!
Did you mean this video of theirs? th-cam.com/video/YMzBcxL_6BA/w-d-xo.html
21:37 You two have the exact same "this is questionable" tittering laughter and it just made me feel like I was home again in England
watching this during the summer of 2022 makes me smile... seeing them sitting on the floor instead of their studios, and they look so similar!
I'd been watching both of your channels for months thinking you were one person ... I thought todays video was some elaborate well choreographed green-screen trickery until I saw the description box. I'm embarrassed. I'll just leave now. Love you both
I kept seeing Robert in my suggested and thought it was just James using a different name to do makeup 😂😆😆
Omg! I just binged a few of james' videos last night and today I clicked on Robert and I aso thought it was his second channel or something like that. One main with lots of subscribers and the blog channel with less... Hahahaha I am glad I am noticin the only one!😊😊😊
Omg I just realized it’s two people today!!
You can still find Max Factor PanStick which is full coverage cream makeup online. I would love to see you make up your face or someone else, following this old tutorial. You guys are fun to watch. You are both adorable!
Besame makes alot of historical makeup as well such as cake mascaras nd such
I think it´s the CUTEST thing ever, how Robert looks at his brother , when he talks. 😍😍
Oh my gosh you are the most lovely set of twins ive ever laid my eyes on! So Charming and positive and eloquently spoken. And gorg!
So glad i found this channel!
:)
They really are some.of the most handsome men ive seen!
Where is the show where the two of you come into my home and makeover my entire life???
Love watching the two of you together! I feel like my skin wouldn't look too great with this routine.
There’s so much wiping the face involved my skin would be every kind of texture 😂
My skin is like James. It's very reactive. I would look like a ripe tomato 😳😬🍅
I'd love to see you try and recreate a 40's or 50's makeup look! Obviously it'd be a little different since you have facial hair but I think that would be a fun video
There's something so nostalgic about historical makeup. I'm obsessed with historical and vintage clothing and makeup from the 1350s all the way to the 1950s
Your mom must be so lucky to have you both! Hahaha
okay WHAT. MIND BLOWN.
I literally just watched a bunch of your vidoes going "I had NO IDEA you were a makeup artist!" thinking you were James.
I even hit the subscribe going WTF why did it usubscribe me.
I even thought... since when did he get harry potter brow.
A lady at my work came in with a full face of make up (which we complimented because it actually looked so good) and she proudly tells us it was 3 days old because she had it done at Mac and had a 2 day concert and then a date on the third day. DISGOSTIN !
🤭🤭🤭🤭 omg
@Sarah Flood I don’t work there anymore so I’m not sure lol ! Hopefully not. Yuck.
I sat here 6 minutes thinking this is a split screen of you talking to yourself.
Nope, you’re just a twin. Mind. Blown.
😂😂😂😂
Kate Moth this is the best comment
Shelby’s Secondary Adventures It was a weird experience, tbh. I’m like, “Is this some sassy alter ego thing hellbent on skincare? Oh, shit, that’s actually another person.”
That's one thing I notice about these old beauty tutorials is they never use water directly on their face. We are so lucky to live in a time where we have access to the best advice and products.
I was today years old when I realised you guys are two different people
😂😂😂
I love how their professions complement each other :(
James always looked green screened in lol
😂🖤
This was great! Do the 80s next! 😂
Queen of Harts Thank you! Yessss the 80s!! 😂😂😂😂
Robert Welsh there’s a really good one from the 80s on here! It’s done by a professional makeup artist and it talks a lot about color theory. I love it a lot 💜
I’m subscribed to both of you and I’ve never realised it was two different people I am so sorry 😩
😂😂😂 🖤🖤🖤
Omg i love you channel! Same tho lmao
*talking about the Victory Red lipstick shade*
Robert: "... because it apparently kept up morale."
Robert and James: *cackling*
You are so right about cleansing and toning.ive been a beauty therapist for over 30 years and it’s so hard to get through to people not to treat oily skin harshly
Omg. When you guys both laugh 😂😂😂😂 made my day
I get to stare at you both AND The Sailor Scouts poster? I didn't pay attention to the makeup thing at all.
I loved this! My 82 year old mother and I watched it together and she told me about watching her aunt using these kinds of products. So much fun!!
I’m so James just agreeing and nodding along like I have any clue what Robert is talking about lol. I love it 😭
Am I the only one that can easily tell the difference between you two when you collab? 😂 I love you guys so much sorry for for spamming you a bit with comments
Spam me! It’s fine! 😂 🖤🖤
@@RobertWelsh thanks! I'm really enjoying your videos because most beauty youtubers are very toxic and petty but your videos are informative and calming
Thank you so much!
@@princessofstars666 I completely agree. I recently found both their channels and I'm enjoying them soo much!
I can remember my grandmother telling me to use methylated spirits when my acne was so bad, I would wash my face with soap, then use methylated spirits as a toner with cotton wool, and the dirt I used to get off my face after washing was ridiculous!!! Yes it was basically straight alcohol, yes my face felt so tight it was ridiculous but it actually cleared my acne, thinking back now I’m like NOOOOOOOO! 😂😂😂
My Mother did theses steps until the day she passed, lipsticks had to be blotted no matter what 😅
Late to the party here but the Double Cleanse was created by Erno Laszlo in the 1930s, so it's been around for a long time. Love you guys
Okay seeing you two together made me recover from the shock of watching your other video thinking you were James at first lmao (And as you can see I already started the binge of all your videos as well, at 2am, great.)
You both have the most beautiful smiles! I love both of your channels. ❤️❤️
I love when the Twins get together because I feel like I’m being taken to school on everything skin care. They are both super knowledgeable and will let you know where the other one lacks with makeup and skincare. Love the duo!
"Theres a connection with gut health, and good skin"
Me, with Chrons and cystic acne: 🙃🙃🙃
The lady in the video used cold cream to remove her makeup. It's very effective and you do have to use tissue or a wash cloth to wipe it away. It's gentler on the skin compared to some makeup wipes, as long as you're not rough or forceful when wiping your face. Some people still use it. Tools of trade for morticians I think...
😂😂 ponds still make it! Anything is better than wipes 😝🖤
“Makes the lips look bigger, right?” “Ummmm not really.” Lmaooo he did try!
I knew that video before because I’m really into makeup and fashion history and I adore the way the girls applied their makeup. They focused on the lipstick and kept everything else very minimal.
I love how when one of them is talking, the other brother looks and listens so intently like they’re learning from each other and/or supporting their brother for giving sound advice ❤️
I love how Robert looks at James in pretty much every video. Such a loving brother. But if there were bubbles they'd totally say stuff like "why don't you highlight?!" .."let me beat that face".. "green would be great on you"... "a little pluck right there".. We see you Mr Judgey pants, lol ;) love you guys!
So happy to hear that my double cleanse at night is the way to go! Lol. I'm absolutely obsessed with skincare. And I was so happy to hear that for the most part I have really good habits/techniques.
You can definitely tell who is the makeup pro and who is the skincare guru! James is dewey and fresh faced and Robert has a flawless natural look🖤I love it!
I love that both of you don't just "do", you also ask and know AND explain "why"
OMG!! the 1940's were more,
"would you like a skincare routine with your box of tissues?" it especially gets scary at 5:49 where you can see our lovely Robert instinctively touching his eyes, 5:52 as if confirming that his under eyes were still intact 😂😂😂 after witnessing the horror that was... 'best way to remove makeup' brought to you by ponds tissues.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your voices! You guys are identical! Except for the eyebrow and jaw structure! Wow
Maybe it's too old-fashioned of me, but the idea of a skincare class sounds great to me. Obviously, it would be open to any students, and there would be so much to learn and try.
I was raised by my grandmother who is 90 now. She always called a heavy moisturizer "cold cream", she used it to remove makeup, then cleansed with soap, just like this.
Ponds cleansing cream huge back in the day...♥️🇦🇺
And still widely available xXx
Hey 👋 Not to mention $5.00 a jar
I still use it. It takes eye makeup off like a dream.
5:29 love the hands gestures! 😅
😂
My mum was born in 1932. She went to modelling school and was taught grooming. She told me that she ‘cleansed, toned and nourished’. She used ponds cold cream to remove makeup, toned (sometimes used witch hazel) and I can’t remember if she used ponds to moisturise too. Her makeup was Leichner stage makeup, I think they called it ‘pan cake’. Her powder she used to get from a store that they would mix on the spot to get your skin tone.
It's so nice to hear commentary on vintage tutorials from someone knowledgable about makeup and its history instead of just "OMG THEY'RE USING THEIR FINGERS?! THEY DIDN'T USE [modern product]!!" over and over.
When they repeat "yeah" after each other they remind me of member berries. Memba??.. I memba!
Magita Perez 😂yeeeee! I memba!!! 🍇
Lmfaoooooo
I member too. Member?
LMFAO after the skincare it's just James saying "yeah" in different ways. I love you guys!
This is exactly how my grandmother did her skincare up until her 80s. Ponds cold cream, wiped away with a tissue, no 2nd cleanse. Sometimes a little more cold cream added back on as a moisturizer. Her makeup was minimal too - mostly powder, mascara, and lipstick (she used the lipstick for blusher as well). I once asked her what makeup she used when she was young (1930s, 40s) and she said she only had one tube of red lipstick. They didn't have much money to spend on non-essentials.
James and Robert in one video again?! MY DAY HAS BEEN MADE
Just found you guys - love your channels.
As an esthetician, you are correct about oily skin, if you consistently strip the oil off your skin it will overcompensate by producing more oil. Also toner typically is used to return the skin to it’s natural ph, which is normally on the acid side of the ph scale. Cleansers are alkaline so it helps to bring your ph back after a cleanse, so the protective barrier that your skin provides from bacteria etc. is maintained you can use a moisturizer to do the same thing also. 😎
I guess you guys haven't heard of Pond's Cold Cream. It's a cleanser that contains oils. I used to use it when I wore greasepaint as it is SO effective. It works best if you remove it with a warm cloth and follow with a facial cleanser. I agree with you guys and the microfiber cloths.. microfiber will cut the skin... xXx
Gillian Wills yea I’ve heard of ponds before this!! Ponds is legendary 😂😂
We used to use Ponds until we saw how awfully they advertise skin lighting creams to different markets. In India for example the advert was literally "your life will be shit if you have dark skin, lighten your skin and your life will be perfect." So appalling.
My makeup has completely changed after finding your channel & my face has greatly appreciated it. Thank you! Now I can educate my friends who feel baking is a necessity 😂
I love listening to you both, I love seeing your reactions. You manage to be entertaining while still being professional and kind.
That astringent thing for oily skin was still the "go to" in the 70s when I was a teen.
Love when they both crack up after she wipes the cream off with a tissue 😂
The cold cream she's using when she starts to cleanse her face in the beginning is Pond's Cold Cream, which is still available today. I use cold cream to remove my makeup (I use a soft cloth with warm water NOT tissue), but I prefer Jergen's because it isn't as strongly fragranced.
It's so funny how people don't change. My grandmother was born in 1938 (married in 1955 and had 2 children by the time she was 20...She was absolutely darling in that post-war way, she was so cute). I can remember she let my sister and I into her makeup (which by the 1990's she had nixed the vanishing cream and been using actual foundation, though she sometimes called it vanishing cream - it wasn't. It was cover girl), I loved her little powder puff - something she STILL uses. I can remember when it came time to take off the makeup she'd get out her large jar of Ponds. No water. Just ponds and some tissues. So funny to see that she probably saw this film in gym class in the 7th grade or something.
I remember Clean and Clear's alcohol tone, it was so painful to use. I'm convinced that it permanently damaged my skin cuz now I suffer with extreme dryness. Now I use tea tree or green tea based toners (without alcohol) to prep my skin for moisturizer/serums, because if my skin is dried out it has a hard time absorbing product.
What a wonderful way to end my week watching you two lovelies. So help me I smile whenever I watch your facial expressions. I was hoping you'd all speak to the ghost white look of the instructor. I realize her look was acceptable for the time and of course the filming but all I could think of was Casper the ghost. Sorry, I may have had a couple of drinks as well.
TheEagleslover she is very ghostly! 😂😂😂
My great Aunts used this routine. Even in their late 80's they had great skin. The vanishing cream had an oily texture. Dove soap was great compared to the lard soap they grew up with. They taught my Aunt and myself this cleansing routine. I used this routine for a long time and then science improved the way we take care of our skin/faces thank goodness. Have a great day.
U boys look like u were the cutest growing up together and helped around the house and made ur mom proud 🥰
