I thought so too maybe because the PML does really spread a lot like a little goes a long long way and starts too look like too much very easily. I liked the stick one and would love to see it compared to that expensive stick one by Clé de Peau or Chantecaille
@@kekkle “More affordable” seems much more appropriate in my opinion. “Cheap” means different things to different people. Some people may think $30 for a foundation is very cheap, while someone else finds it very expensive. I don’t think anyone would argue that a $20 product is more affordable than a $130 product. Even if someone doesn’t find it affordable, it’s MORE affordable that the latter.
Ada On Demand just did a good video on the questionable ethics of murder and makeup series. I like that Robert tells ghost stories rather than true crime. He's extremely ethical.
i was just yelling “robert, noooo you’re putting the concealer on the wrong side!!!”… and the staff at the hospital ran into my room thinking that i’d fallen. 😂 ps… i loveeee that mirror!!!
I love how when you start applying makeup on your eyes, you change from chatty TH-camr, to totally concentrated and top professional MUA. It almost look like a painter painting a canvas. So inspiring!
I had a blush emergency once when I was out of town and forgot it. I picked up some milani blush and I have been sold on it since. It is so pigmented and blends well. I actually have to be really light handed with it because of the pigment.

@@xx-yd5mm @Broken Wench is exactly right! It's the believe beauty brand and I haven't tried much other than the eyeshadows (which I didn't personally like.) And the primer (Which is the BEST for me I swtg.) Because I rarely wear skin or lip products.
The Believe Beauty creme blushes are straight 🔥🔥 I wish they would come out with more shades though. The concealer is pretty good too. I keep it in my travel bag.
would be such a good video for the welsh twins channel if y’all tried out different skincare & makeup products (with the branding/packaging removed) and tried to guess which one is the expensive one and which one is the dupe !
"I bought it without looking at the price." I cannot relate to that sentence. 😫 Also I have been using the nyx Jumbo eye pencil in the color milk white for eye primer lately and I notice the shadows stick a lot better than the Urban decay eye primer potion that I threw away cause I hated it
Milani will always be a favorite brand of mine. As a single mom who cant afford spoiling myself with 50 dollar lipsticks i was so happy to come across milani.
I love Milanis bronzers. They actually have a cool toned bronzer which is unusual especially for drugstore. Usually they're orange on my pink ass skin 🤣
Wet'n'wild's Megalast Lipstick stays on forever, I get asked a lot what Lipstick I'm wearing and love to see the surprised look in their face when I say the brand. I've been wearing the shade Cherry Picking for years and it's my all time favorite, it's a highly pigmented mix of magenta and red. Also their eyeliner called megaliner in dark brown stays on forever
Finding cheap makeup that performs well is like discovering a treasure! I'd love to see blind tests on makeup products that are highly rated, cheap v expensive. 💕 * The Wet and Wild tinted hydrator has been my go-to this summer
Same! The WnW is my HG for oily dehydrated skin. I'm thinking of doing a review for those who haven't tried it yet bc I think they're missing out. Can't believe it's 5 bucks! It's so good!
I have fallen in love with Flower Beauty products. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and don’t like spending a fortune but I love the price and the way the products sit on my skin.
What I've found with eyeshadow is that the more expensive ones like Viseart (don't own a palette by them but would love to) is that they blend better and give more punch for your buck. Which in the long run makes them more cost efficient.
@@raerohan4241 tbh colourpop is prolly the best cheap brand I have used for eyeshadow. Their lip products suck though. WinkyLux is in Target now but a shadow palette is 25 bucks so a bit on the lower end of midrange.
@@ultraboombean Colourpop shadows are kind of hit or miss though. Sometimes they're really good, and other times they're meh. And on top of that, Colourpop is constantly discontinuing stuff. Their super shock shadows are pretty much the only truly reliable ones, imo (meaning that I'd be relaxed buying new shades without watching reviews beforehand)
I am a broke university student so I have no choice and I always buy drugstore makeup. Luckily we have Essence and Catrice here in Europe and sometimes when there is free shipping I buy Colourpop :)
I've been wearing makeup for 15+ years. I've tried very expensive products and also drugstore products. I have to say that none of the Dior, YSL or any other 'luxury' brand mascaras can't beat Essence and Catrice mascaras 🤣
@@corvidsRcool yeah, there are better affordable options. it also depends where you get them, like off the us branch website a cushion can be thirty dollars but they sell it for less on yesstyle.
@@corvidsRcool there are many options that are less than 20€, i saw one cushion foundation that was about 10€ on yesstyle. there are cheaper options than the 30$ one
I had never heard of essence before but got a "what the fake" mascara of their's in a beauty box. You get to pick 5 usually mini or travel sized products for £15 but sometimes there are full size products too. I picked it because it was a full size mascara and I LOVE it! I like it because I can't do false lashes and it really builds up well for long and full lashes. I'm going to try some other products of theirs.
When it comes to eyeshadows, I prefer more high end brands. You just get so much better quality and pigmentation. You end up using so much less! You only have to dab the brush instead of really digging into the pan with the cheaper ones
I wonder if Robert felt liked the nyx powder more because it had the pat mcgrath concealer underneath. It's hard to say on the expensive side if the extra texture is because of the powder or the concealer :/
I have the pat concealer and it is now my favourite has a really nice finish and you only need a small amount I would recommend buying it, however as I was impressed with the concealer I thought I would try the setting powder which I was not so impressed with and now is just a setting powder kicking around in my makeup box, so I would be looking to try the nyx one myself, but if you can I would for sure say try the concealer xx
He said that the concealers were about the same aside from one being more shiny, so I really don’t think that the concealer would make much difference. If that is the case though, I feel like I would be a bit put off from buying that product, because you have to wonder what other products it won’t work well with
I love love love Viseart. They're the first high-end eyeshadows I've ever bought, and I absolutely adore them. The few CP palettes I've picked up are surprisingly good quality for the price! I'm so glad to see these comparisons.
I'm so, SO jealous of people that Colourpop performs wells for. I tried them before I got really into higher end and luxury brand shadows over the past 2 years or so. I have tried multiple CP palette releases and they just don't perform that great for me. If a Colourpop palette goes on well, it fades like crazy... no matter what primer I use. The Milani eye primer is my tried and true and makes everything go on great and last all day ... but not CP 😭
I love the Viseart palette he used here, I have both the palettes but Viseart wins every time. Plus the other shades in the palette make for a beautiful look.
@@xtri0xinx I have oily eyelids and Gérard cosmetics clean canvas has blown me away. My eyeshadow stays all day with that. I think ColourPop palette are hit and miss. The stone cold fox is amazing quality but some I have aren't that formula, everyone raved about the gold palette but I didn't find it very good. Perhaps I should try it again with the clean canvas primer.
I was audibly saying "You're putting it on the wrong side!" 😆😂 And when he asked if he put it on the wrong side, again, out loud, I said "Yes!" 🙈🙊 So fun!
All about a good dupe! But there are times that I really enjoy the experiences of a luxury brand. OMG! I hate how hot it's gotten... who needs a highlight when sweat is taking care of it. Happy Wednesday, Robert! 💖🖤💖🖤
I just cannot justify spending the cash of the "high end" stuff when drugstore is killing it. Beauty Bays quality for price kicks the designer brands out of the water. Just have to run the risk that Hermes will beat the loving crap out of your package before it arrives or doesn't lol
I just remember the video stating brands you wouldn't buy from. I was so impressed that you were willing to do this! I buy mostly affordable makeup because I feel like the quality has improved so much over the last few years! LOVED this video idea, Robert!🖤🖤🖤
Beauty bakerie flour setting powder. I have oily skin and have a tough time finding powders that work and I absolutely love this! Also the Revlon skin lights in daybreak glimmer is a gorgeous highlighter. Under the eyes essence brighten up banana powder is amazing! And I have old, dry eyes. Love this video!!!
Chantecaille concealer. Ouch, lots of $ but it lasts forever and colour corrects and conceals. Does not sink into lines is moisturizing without being shiny or oily. Looks like skin. Worth every penny. Will last a year!
Have you ever done a full face of maybelline makeup? The fit me line has been my favorite on a budget. And anyone else I’ve watched always do such a Cakey makeup look and I love your videos
It's hard to officially swear by any products these days because there are so many options and competitors and buyer's curiosity is endless 😵💫 Maybe we all should go back to Pond's products for a more simplistic approach LOL
THAT IS ALL I USE, IS PONDS COLD CREAM. GREEN CAP... THE ABSOLUTE BEST AT TAKING OFF ALL, WATER PROFF, MAKEUP AND MASCARA. NOT YELLING CAPITAL LETTERS DUE TO EYESIGHT. 🤗💜🤓🤓
@@sarahmclin2434 omg wait, because I bought it without realizing it was such a staple brand of old America once and it was too oily for my face but BOMB for my body 💣 do ya dig it for your face? Because I am jealous that you have it that easy haha!💕
@@Bayyside I use their clariant cream and it's lovely for combination sensitive skin! You may like that. I do also use their cream face cleaner but it can be murder on oily or combination skin. Lol, I do have Dry skin!
I swear by the RMS Beauty Living Luminizer! It is 40 dollars so I would say it is high end and I love it so much because it looks like skin, not a glittery mess, etc.
Also the RMS Buriti Bronzer is one of my favorites! I have a cool undertone and it gives such a natural sunburnt sculpted look. That brand has a lot of great products.
The elf hydrating camo concealer is hands down the best I've ever tried, and I've tried Nars and Too Faced, as well as Korean concealers. It's so good and so cheap.
I've been using it as my under eye concealer lately because my Tarte shape tape was making my under eye area look SO dry and wrinkly. It was embarrassing. The hydrating factor of the elf concealer is working much better for me!
I have really sensitive eyes so I would love to know your thoughts on best products for us overly sensitive types lol. Hopefully, others would appreciate a video like that too.
I never wear waterproof eye products, because most removers sting my eyes. However, Bioderma (the Sensibio one) doesn’t irritate my eyes and I can finally wear waterproof mascara
@@Elle0704 Does cold cream work for you? Pond's has a fragrance-free one that's been good for many, and I'm sure you can find some vintage varieties that are just oil, water, and emulsifier
My absolute drugstore favourite is My secret's highlighter powder disco ball. My secret is a Polish drugstore brand, I doubt you can get it elsewhere (or maybe in some Internet drugstores). It costs an equivalent of 5 pounds and is the BEST intense highlighter for oily uneven skin. It goes on so smooth no matter the size of my pores and bumps, and it stays put the whole day despite my oils and survives blotting really well (which is where Marylou fails most of the time, and goes away with the blotting paper).
There is something so relaxing about your videos Robert! Whenever I’m stressed they’re the perfect cure. Thank you so much for taking the time to make amazing content! Sending you lots of love 🖤🖤
Collection concealer in biscuit is my holy grail it is self setting and the only concealer that doesn't make me look years older can't live without it now and physician's formula bronzer can't live without!
I'm thinking it's almost worth a trip across the pond to get myself to a Primark for that concealer. :P Robert, I just love your videos. They are so calming with humour and class. Keep being you!
I love the fact that you don’t make a huge shopping just for the sake of this particular video. I’m a very environmentally conscious person and it just bothers me so much, when I see a waisted product. I wish you could try to do some series about using this kind of not-so-good pieces. I’m pretty sure that you can give us some tips on how to apply such a stubborn bronzer etc. Have a nice day, kisses from Poland 💜
I love and hoard cushion foundations!!! The convenience and quickness of application is perfect for busy schedules. The Korean brand Clio makes an AMAZING cushion foundation - with extra coverage and SPF - for about $30, WITH an extra refill. I highly recommend, it’s my all time favorite.
Him saying he's never found a high end eyeshadow primer he likes made me wonder, what's his favorite primer ever? I'm gonna try to find it in his videos somewhere lol
Please do more of these videos… they are great for the average Jo☺️ who can’t afford designer/luxury or just flat out refuses to pay that amount of money. Also could you please test some Amazon exclusive makeup brands🙏🏻… Shany is one brand that come to mind. I try a lot and find some that are really good and others not so much. Hearing from a Pro MUA is always helpful… thanks 👍🏻
Greetings from LA! Happy to see a new video up. I have covid and I’m stuck at home but videos like these keep my spirits going ☀️ Also- You’re looking leaner and super healthy lately. Keep it up 💜
i usually don't see/understand when gurus talk about patchiness from products but i finally saw it with the way that gucci bronzer stayed on your temple :0
Eyeshadows are always better from high end brands, the pigment, blend and user experience is much, much better. I honestly think everything else is a personal "mix n match". 💗
I've got "drugstore" (cheaper) eyeshadows that work so much better than some of the high end shadows I own. They have much better pigment and blendability. Even some of the mac ones (not really high end but not drugstore either) I own have awful pigment and don't blend well. In the end I just think it depends on brand and finish (high end matte shadows often are better than drugstore matte shadows but in shimmers and satins drug store can also be really good)
I love the Elevated Glow and her blush! Those and accidentally finding bare minerals faux tan for a bargain changed my whole summer makeup. I wear them every day, for the eyes too. Lovely
IM OBSESSED IN LOVE WITH THE GUCCI BRONZER…. It could possibly be the shade which is fair, It has zero orange in it and works so well with my skin tone and is worth a repurchase and plan to do so, I’m already about halfway through LOVE IT !!!!!!
Lisa Eldridge's highlight is the best I've ever tried. Whenever I've tried highlight before they look too shimmery/tin man even after a light powdering IRL. The best way to describe it is it gives you an "on camera/in photos with a filter" look in real life.
That was actually really interesting! Also, thanks to you I finally tried the Shein palettes, and I kind of adore them. As someone who is by nature a cheap make up girl, they make me feel fancy. Yes, that's how low my standards are ;)
The Rare Beauty eyeshadow primer is one of my HOLY GRAILs. Also the P.Louise Base is my other most favorite, Mac paint pot in soft ochre, the beauty crop primer, nars no smudge base, and I'm actually waiting for Lancome to send me my pot eye primer that they have. So once I try the lancome pot primer I will let you know how I like it. 🖤🖤 I love you Robert!!! You are one of my most favorite persons to watch for beauty, makeup artist knowledge, and general favorite TH-cam person. 🖤🖤
If anyone is looking for a great affordable liquid eyeliner that lasts and doesn't smudge and budge, I strongly recommend the Loreal flash cat eye. Just a side note. ❤
Good tip, Christina, thanks! I swear by Barry M’s liquid liner, the black waterproof one with a glossy finish. It does not budge. I’ve been using it for years and it’s never let me down!
I appreciate that the viseart purples are a proper cool toned purple set rather than the typical more orchid/red-undermined purples that most palettes go for. Its actually kinda hard to find a good purple like the viseart ones
I think some products are definitely worth the pricetag and others aren't depending on your skintype. It's always nice to find dupes and save money of course but there are some high ends I can't live without 🥰
I remember that when the nyx hd powder became popular people said that it has a pretty bad flashback in photographs. Do you think it’s true or is it just because people used too much of it when they were baking?
I adore the NARS smudge proof eyeshadow primer….it’s my holy grail! I have eyelids that are both oily and eczema prone at the same time, and honestly, this primer is the best! I’ve tried so many but this one keeps my shadow on, makes sure it doesn’t crease (I work in a beauty hall so this is a must for me!) and also doesn’t make my skin react either. I recommend it to everyone now!
Yeah I’m in line with this video, I get it. I’ll get mid to high end eyeshadows because they’ll mostly outperform drugstore brands on my oily lids. For blush, I need it to last, and most drugstore products blend well, but they won’t last. For highlight, I need mid to high end, those just show up and blend better on my textured skin. I can comfortably do drugstore foundation, mascara, and lips.
It's because of you I started using an eyeshadow primer! I didn't believe in them, then I used the Wet N Wild eyeshadow primer & omg life changing! The most I've worn it was 16 hours & it did not crease or fade my eyeshadow one bit! & I have extreme oily lids!!! & It's only $4!
This side by side comparison is really great in particular for the eye shadow. I usually struggle to see the difference especially on someone with great technique like Robert. But it is really obvious that the color pop doesn't blend and build quite as well as the Viseart in this video.

Same! The WnW is my HG for oily dehydrated skin. I'm thinking of doing a review for those who haven't tried it yet bc I think they're missing out. Can't believe it's 5 bucks! It's so good!
I’ve heard other good reviews, I picked it up to try!
@@Elle0704 oh nice! What kind of skin do you have? I have oily dehydrated and it's my HG!
I swear by most things Juvia's Place. Their shadows are amazing and their new blush and bronzers are just lovely.
I can’t wait to try them! I’m getting a ton of emails from them and my willpower is waning. 😬😆😉
For some reason I don't jive with JPS matte shadows, I find them too dry. Now the shimmers are really good, even without any primer.
I have fallen in love with Flower Beauty products. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and don’t like spending a fortune but I love the price and the way the products sit on my skin.
Love love them!!! The have a great pillow talk lipstick dupe and the foundation brush is amazingggg.
I'll have to try it. I was given a lipstick and it's lovely!
What I've found with eyeshadow is that the more expensive ones like Viseart (don't own a palette by them but would love to) is that they blend better and give more punch for your buck. Which in the long run makes them more cost efficient.
Agree. Pretty much the only product I splurge on is eyeshadow. Everything else can be bought drugstore, but shadows? Bit risky
@@raerohan4241 tbh colourpop is prolly the best cheap brand I have used for eyeshadow. Their lip products suck though.
WinkyLux is in Target now but a shadow palette is 25 bucks so a bit on the lower end of midrange.
@@ultraboombean Colourpop shadows are kind of hit or miss though. Sometimes they're really good, and other times they're meh. And on top of that, Colourpop is constantly discontinuing stuff. Their super shock shadows are pretty much the only truly reliable ones, imo (meaning that I'd be relaxed buying new shades without watching reviews beforehand)
I am a broke university student so I have no choice and I always buy drugstore makeup. Luckily we have Essence and Catrice here in Europe and sometimes when there is free shipping I buy Colourpop :)
I've been wearing makeup for 15+ years. I've tried very expensive products and also drugstore products. I have to say that none of the Dior, YSL or any other 'luxury' brand mascaras can't beat Essence and Catrice mascaras 🤣
The best mascara is paradise mascara from L’Oréal in boots
Where are u from and how much do you pay for taxes? I’m from Germany and I’m a little scared to buy from colourpop
$128 for a cushion? As a Korean, I’m screaming 😱
$30 for the cheap option? As a poor person I'm screaming.
@@corvidsRcool yeah, there are better affordable options. it also depends where you get them, like off the us branch website a cushion can be thirty dollars but they sell it for less on yesstyle.
@@corvidsRcool there are many options that are less than 20€, i saw one cushion foundation that was about 10€ on yesstyle. there are cheaper options than the 30$ one
@@corvidsRcool So many cheaper options
I’ve been using the essence “pure nude” highlighter for years. It’s so cheap and so beautiful for a natural glow.
Roberts rings remind of when i was small because i would put my mums hair clips around my fingers
Such a strange and specific memory but I know exactly what you mean 😂
Yo saaaaame
I'd like to see you do a full face of Essence makeup!
I had never heard of essence before but got a "what the fake" mascara of their's in a beauty box. You get to pick 5 usually mini or travel sized products for £15 but sometimes there are full size products too. I picked it because it was a full size mascara and I LOVE it! I like it because I can't do false lashes and it really builds up well for long and full lashes. I'm going to try some other products of theirs.
@@littleboots9800 I love their primer! I picked up their mascara today and I’m excited to try!
When it comes to eyeshadows, I prefer more high end brands. You just get so much better quality and pigmentation. You end up using so much less! You only have to dab the brush instead of really digging into the pan with the cheaper ones
Totally agree!
Me: Nobody tells me what to do!
Robert: Listen...
Me: Ok!
I love how elegantly Robert pushes in that puff with foundation
I wonder if Robert felt liked the nyx powder more because it had the pat mcgrath concealer underneath. It's hard to say on the expensive side if the extra texture is because of the powder or the concealer :/
YESSS!!! I need a redo!
I have the pat concealer and it is now my favourite has a really nice finish and you only need a small amount I would recommend buying it, however as I was impressed with the concealer I thought I would try the setting powder which I was not so impressed with and now is just a setting powder kicking around in my makeup box, so I would be looking to try the nyx one myself, but if you can I would for sure say try the concealer xx
@@sallykirby8962 let me know if the nyx powder works with the pmg concealer 💕
He said that the concealers were about the same aside from one being more shiny, so I really don’t think that the concealer would make much difference. If that is the case though, I feel like I would be a bit put off from buying that product, because you have to wonder what other products it won’t work well with
I was thinking the same thing. I like the PM concealer better anyway
High end on the scar side... puts primark concealer on the scar side 🥴😅
I've just seen it, too. Ahahah
I was so confused 😂😂😂😂
I rewatched that part to make sure I wasn't losing it
Oh thank you. I was just yelling "Wait wait wait!" at my screen. Lol
@Queen Elsa I didnt know that yet
I love love love Viseart. They're the first high-end eyeshadows I've ever bought, and I absolutely adore them. The few CP palettes I've picked up are surprisingly good quality for the price! I'm so glad to see these comparisons.
I'm so, SO jealous of people that Colourpop performs wells for. I tried them before I got really into higher end and luxury brand shadows over the past 2 years or so. I have tried multiple CP palette releases and they just don't perform that great for me. If a Colourpop palette goes on well, it fades like crazy... no matter what primer I use. The Milani eye primer is my tried and true and makes everything go on great and last all day ... but not CP 😭
@@xtri0xinx what’s ur fav eye shadow?
I love the Viseart palette he used here, I have both the palettes but Viseart wins every time. Plus the other shades in the palette make for a beautiful look.
@@xtri0xinx I have oily eyelids and Gérard cosmetics clean canvas has blown me away. My eyeshadow stays all day with that. I think ColourPop palette are hit and miss. The stone cold fox is amazing quality but some I have aren't that formula, everyone raved about the gold palette but I didn't find it very good. Perhaps I should try it again with the clean canvas primer.
@@mememe217 Overall, probably Pat McGrath and Sydney Grace. I'm always reaching for those 2 brands over everything else in my collection.
"I did it on the wrong side didn't I?" "Yes."
I was audibly saying "You're putting it on the wrong side!" 😆😂 And when he asked if he put it on the wrong side, again, out loud, I said "Yes!" 🙈🙊 So fun!
Love that the primark concealer ended up on the luggsureeey side 🤣🤣
All about a good dupe! But there are times that I really enjoy the experiences of a luxury brand.
OMG! I hate how hot it's gotten... who needs a highlight when sweat is taking care of it. Happy Wednesday, Robert! 💖🖤💖🖤
I’ve never heard someone sound so excited to find a brush they don’t want to use 🤣🤣
I would love to see a video of u using all of those little brushes u hate on a full face, steph Tom's did it, was boss
What’s the name of that video? The steph toms one??
@@Ttlore full face of those brushes, cheap applicator challenge
I love your facial expression when you realized that you put the concealer on the wrong side. Priceless…
Oh I've so done that. Granted I just started YT so hopefully I get better lol
I just cannot justify spending the cash of the "high end" stuff when drugstore is killing it. Beauty Bays quality for price kicks the designer brands out of the water. Just have to run the risk that Hermes will beat the loving crap out of your package before it arrives or doesn't lol
I just remember the video stating brands you wouldn't buy from. I was so impressed that you were willing to do this! I buy mostly affordable makeup because I feel like the quality has improved so much over the last few years! LOVED this video idea, Robert!🖤🖤🖤
Beauty bakerie flour setting powder. I have oily skin and have a tough time finding powders that work and I absolutely love this! Also the Revlon skin lights in daybreak glimmer is a gorgeous highlighter. Under the eyes essence brighten up banana powder is amazing! And I have old, dry eyes. Love this video!!!
Is the beauty bakery powder good on camera? I'm oily, too, and I'm always on Zoom. Do you like the translucent or tinted colors? Thanks! xx
@@mulnaengmyeon im not sure about on camera....sorry. The one I got came in my boxycharm it was oat (translucent).
The skin products on the affordable side were 🔥. That bronzer went on so well, and the Primark concealer was awesome!
SO much love in that “90 PENCCCCE.”
😆❤️
Blue-toned purple every time!!.. xXx 😎✌🏽💜💜💜💜🖤🌙
Mcds Robert and a thunderstorm = bliss ♥️
Chantecaille concealer. Ouch, lots of $ but it lasts forever and colour corrects and conceals. Does not sink into lines is moisturizing without being shiny or oily. Looks like skin. Worth every penny. Will last a year!
Which one specifically?
Have you ever done a full face of maybelline makeup? The fit me line has been my favorite on a budget. And anyone else I’ve watched always do such a Cakey makeup look and I love your videos
That was a perfect way to demonstrate what finishing actually does for the face! Thank you!
When you said 120 for the foundation I thought😳 NOPE. When you said with a refill, I thought 😍 absolutely👍
They also have it on ebay for a really great price, and it's the real deal 😉👌
It's hard to officially swear by any products these days because there are so many options and competitors and buyer's curiosity is endless 😵💫 Maybe we all should go back to Pond's products for a more simplistic approach LOL
Hahahahaha ❤️ memory unlocked, thank you
THAT IS ALL I USE, IS PONDS COLD CREAM. GREEN CAP... THE ABSOLUTE BEST AT TAKING OFF ALL, WATER PROFF, MAKEUP AND MASCARA. NOT YELLING CAPITAL LETTERS DUE TO EYESIGHT. 🤗💜🤓🤓
I still use ponds. Love it!
@@sarahmclin2434 omg wait, because I bought it without realizing it was such a staple brand of old America once and it was too oily for my face but BOMB for my body 💣 do ya dig it for your face? Because I am jealous that you have it that easy haha!💕
@@Bayyside I use their clariant cream and it's lovely for combination sensitive skin! You may like that. I do also use their cream face cleaner but it can be murder on oily or combination skin. Lol, I do have Dry skin!
It's crazy the difference with color payoff and blendablility of the high-end shadow compared to the cheap. Amazing! Thanks for demonstrating that.
„Every purple is okay“ 🤣
I know what you mean. 💜
The eyeshadow is really the stand out for expensive products. So pretty.
I swear by the RMS Beauty Living Luminizer! It is 40 dollars so I would say it is high end and I love it so much because it looks like skin, not a glittery mess, etc.
it lasts forEVER too 💞
Also the RMS Buriti Bronzer is one of my favorites! I have a cool undertone and it gives such a natural sunburnt sculpted look. That brand has a lot of great products.
@@OtheringHeights It really does! :)
@@DanielleNicoleMakeup I completely agree and I'll have to try that out one of these days, thank you for the recommendation
@@tranquilserenity2418 for sure! I am thinking about doing a review of it soon if you wanna see how it looks ;)
The elf hydrating camo concealer is hands down the best I've ever tried, and I've tried Nars and Too Faced, as well as Korean concealers. It's so good and so cheap.
I've been using it as my under eye concealer lately because my Tarte shape tape was making my under eye area look SO dry and wrinkly. It was embarrassing. The hydrating factor of the elf concealer is working much better for me!
I have really sensitive eyes so I would love to know your thoughts on best products for us overly sensitive types lol. Hopefully, others would appreciate a video like that too.
I never wear waterproof eye products, because most removers sting my eyes. However, Bioderma (the Sensibio one) doesn’t irritate my eyes and I can finally wear waterproof mascara
I have sensitive eyes too and I found the Wayne Goss eye pencil, KVD tattoo liquid liner and ABH eyeshadows don’t irritate my eyes at all. 🥰👀
@@Elle0704 Does cold cream work for you? Pond's has a fragrance-free one that's been good for many, and I'm sure you can find some vintage varieties that are just oil, water, and emulsifier
My absolute drugstore favourite is My secret's highlighter powder disco ball. My secret is a Polish drugstore brand, I doubt you can get it elsewhere (or maybe in some Internet drugstores). It costs an equivalent of 5 pounds and is the BEST intense highlighter for oily uneven skin. It goes on so smooth no matter the size of my pores and bumps, and it stays put the whole day despite my oils and survives blotting really well (which is where Marylou fails most of the time, and goes away with the blotting paper).
There is something so relaxing about your videos Robert! Whenever I’m stressed they’re the perfect cure. Thank you so much for taking the time to make amazing content! Sending you lots of love 🖤🖤
Collection concealer in biscuit is my holy grail it is self setting and the only concealer that doesn't make me look years older can't live without it now and physician's formula bronzer can't live without!
I'm thinking it's almost worth a trip across the pond to get myself to a Primark for that concealer. :P
Robert, I just love your videos. They are so calming with humour and class. Keep being you!
I love the fact that you don’t make a huge shopping just for the sake of this particular video. I’m a very environmentally conscious person and it just bothers me so much, when I see a waisted product. I wish you could try to do some series about using this kind of not-so-good pieces. I’m pretty sure that you can give us some tips on how to apply such a stubborn bronzer etc. Have a nice day, kisses from Poland 💜
The MAC Paint pot eyeshadow is a really good high end primer, it's not super expensive either so that's a plus
I think Robert said in a previous video he used to use the Mac paint pot but overall he stopped supporting mac
@@anothertitan5543 I’m curious. Why did he stop supporting MAC?
I love and hoard cushion foundations!!! The convenience and quickness of application is perfect for busy schedules. The Korean brand Clio makes an AMAZING cushion foundation - with extra coverage and SPF - for about $30, WITH an extra refill. I highly recommend, it’s my all time favorite.
Him saying he's never found a high end eyeshadow primer he likes made me wonder, what's his favorite primer ever? I'm gonna try to find it in his videos somewhere lol
I think elf putty eye primer. He loves to apply it with his finger. I bought it because of him a few weeks ago
He uses the sigma eye primer stick all the time
He also has this website where he listed all his favourite products 😊
He said he also likes the rare beauty one
Gerard cosmetics clean canvas is epic! It lasts forever and comes in a few shades as well as white.
Please do more of these videos… they are great for the average Jo☺️ who can’t afford designer/luxury or just flat out refuses to pay that amount of money. Also could you please test some Amazon exclusive makeup brands🙏🏻… Shany is one brand that come to mind. I try a lot and find some that are really good and others not so much. Hearing from a Pro MUA is always helpful… thanks 👍🏻
Greetings from LA!
Happy to see a new video up. I have covid and I’m stuck at home but videos like these keep my spirits going ☀️
Also- You’re looking leaner and super healthy lately. Keep it up 💜
I hope you recover soon!
i usually don't see/understand when gurus talk about patchiness from products but i finally saw it with the way that gucci bronzer stayed on your temple :0
Look at Robert “correcting” his under eye with one product and no filter! Wonders never cease.
I have learned more about makeup in the last month since I found your channel than I have learned my whole adult life. Love you to bits!!
Eyeshadows are always better from high end brands, the pigment, blend and user experience is much, much better.
I honestly think everything else is a personal "mix n match". 💗
I've got "drugstore" (cheaper) eyeshadows that work so much better than some of the high end shadows I own. They have much better pigment and blendability. Even some of the mac ones (not really high end but not drugstore either) I own have awful pigment and don't blend well. In the end I just think it depends on brand and finish (high end matte shadows often are better than drugstore matte shadows but in shimmers and satins drug store can also be really good)
I love the Elevated Glow and her blush! Those and accidentally finding bare minerals faux tan for a bargain changed my whole summer makeup. I wear them every day, for the eyes too. Lovely
If you have oily eyelids, the fenty beauty eye primer will change the game! I wear it on days I’m not even wearing eye makeup to control oil.
IM OBSESSED IN LOVE WITH THE GUCCI BRONZER…. It could possibly be the shade which is fair, It has zero orange in it and works so well with my skin tone and is worth a repurchase and plan to do so, I’m already about halfway through LOVE IT !!!!!!
The realization that the sides got mixed up, haha.
Lisa Eldridge's highlight is the best I've ever tried. Whenever I've tried highlight before they look too shimmery/tin man even after a light powdering IRL. The best way to describe it is it gives you an "on camera/in photos with a filter" look in real life.
That was actually really interesting! Also, thanks to you I finally tried the Shein palettes, and I kind of adore them. As someone who is by nature a cheap make up girl, they make me feel fancy. Yes, that's how low my standards are ;)
The Rare Beauty eyeshadow primer is one of my HOLY GRAILs. Also the P.Louise Base is my other most favorite, Mac paint pot in soft ochre, the beauty crop primer, nars no smudge base, and I'm actually waiting for Lancome to send me my pot eye primer that they have. So once I try the lancome pot primer I will let you know how I like it. 🖤🖤 I love you Robert!!! You are one of my most favorite persons to watch for beauty, makeup artist knowledge, and general favorite TH-cam person. 🖤🖤
I stared at the screen with my head titled to the side because I couldn't figure out if I was confused or if Robert was confused with the concealer 😂😂
Armani's power fabric concealer... and Chantecaille's blurring powder are both amazing! I haven't found a drugstore to beat those.
If anyone is looking for a great affordable liquid eyeliner that lasts and doesn't smudge and budge, I strongly recommend the Loreal flash cat eye. Just a side note. ❤
Lore- all ❤️
Good tip, Christina, thanks! I swear by Barry M’s liquid liner, the black waterproof one with a glossy finish. It does not budge. I’ve been using it for years and it’s never let me down!
I appreciate that the viseart purples are a proper cool toned purple set rather than the typical more orchid/red-undermined purples that most palettes go for. Its actually kinda hard to find a good purple like the viseart ones
Too be fair I think it's hard competing with Sigma blushes their so good.
I think some products are definitely worth the pricetag and others aren't depending on your skintype. It's always nice to find dupes and save money of course but there are some high ends I can't live without 🥰
Dupe Alert!!! 🔥🎉
Thanks For Sharing Robert
I think it's amazing how your skin almost doesn't change with foundation! What a perfect skin! 🥰
I remember that when the nyx hd powder became popular people said that it has a pretty bad flashback in photographs. Do you think it’s true or is it just because people used too much of it when they were baking?
I don't bake and I used it once and it gave me flashback in flash photography.
@@amirevan That’s good to know! Thanks 😇
Definitely awful for flashback , all HD powders are
Same here. It was shit. Used it a few times. Some day somebody told me i am white on the taken photos😫😫😫😫😫😫Trash!
Is this just for the translucent nyx HD powder or is there also bad flashback with the banana shade does anyone know? I was about to buy it! 😂
I adore the NARS smudge proof eyeshadow primer….it’s my holy grail! I have eyelids that are both oily and eczema prone at the same time, and honestly, this primer is the best! I’ve tried so many but this one keeps my shadow on, makes sure it doesn’t crease (I work in a beauty hall so this is a must for me!) and also doesn’t make my skin react either. I recommend it to everyone now!
Clicked as I got the notification’ the title itself tells me i will love it!!! 😍😍😍😍
I love the Morphe eyeshadow primer and the bad gal bang mascara from Benefit! In fact their tints are amazing too! Try these!!! Loved the video!
Yeah I’m in line with this video, I get it. I’ll get mid to high end eyeshadows because they’ll mostly outperform drugstore brands on my oily lids. For blush, I need it to last, and most drugstore products blend well, but they won’t last. For highlight, I need mid to high end, those just show up and blend better on my textured skin. I can comfortably do drugstore foundation, mascara, and lips.
My favorite notification! 😁
It's because of you I started using an eyeshadow primer! I didn't believe in them, then I used the Wet N Wild eyeshadow primer & omg life changing! The most I've worn it was 16 hours & it did not crease or fade my eyeshadow one bit! & I have extreme oily lids!!! & It's only $4!
Listen!! It is so hot and the UK don't cope well 😩
This side by side comparison is really great in particular for the eye shadow. I usually struggle to see the difference especially on someone with great technique like Robert.
But it is really obvious that the color pop doesn't blend and build quite as well as the Viseart in this video.
WetnWild's cushion foundation is the greatest on the market...change my mind
Their photofocus powder is also amazing!!! But their shade range needs to expand :)
It really is beautiful, breaks me out every time😭
I saw an ad on fb for a brand called Beauty Crop and I’ve been really happy with the shadows and especially the eye primer. Extremely affordable.
