Nobody in my makeup school was allowed to graduate and get their pro certificate unless we could do makeup on ALL skin types, from literally the whitest of white to the deepest of deep and on all eyeshapes. Anything else is literally awful and I'm so happy I went to the school I did!
As someone with a deeper skin tone, I LOVE when you get pationate. 'How embarrassing for you!' Had be lol'ing but also remembering that I had to do my own makeup for my best friends wedding last year cuz the makeup artist 'forgot' her deeper tones. Thankfully, I've learned from Robert, Jackie, and many others how to do it myself 💃🏾
My friend and other bridesmaids were fine as they are white.... I hate to say it, but I'm used to it. So I've taught myself over the years and can do a decent job. It just sucked that as the Maid of Honour I couldn't just chill, I sat myself in the bathroon and did my own makeup while everyone else was in the main suite. At least the makeup artist refunded the coat of doing my makeup so that's something!
@Embellish Marin I honestly think she didn't have anything for me... rather than be honest and say 'you know what, I've not had much experience with darker tones...' etc she decided to do nothing. I brought all my makeup with me, so she could have done it for me using my own stuff, but she didn't even offer that.
Ugh, I’m so sorry you even have to become use to that sort of treatment. As a makeup artist myself, I ALWAYS make sure I can cater to the lightest of skin tones to the very darkest. Its something EVERY artist should be doing. I keep a white & a black cream color in my kit so I can mix up any color foundation imaginable. Shame on that makeup artist, & I hope you have better experiences in the future. 🩷

Robert, your rant about colour ranges in kits is so valid! Of course dark and deep skin tones are the biggest and most obvious gap, when you mentioned pale ones it really struck me, being pale and cool/neutral is never ever catered for! My sister did a makeup lesson to refresh her skills I was the "model" and the foundation and concealer were about two/three shades too dark and she actually said oh I don't have anything light enough for you, normally people don't want their makeup this pale! And any time I go to get my makeup done professionally I'm always asked if I'm going to put tan on and I already have it on! It's so frustrating! Why don't they have a white to lighten?! 🤷🏼♀️
I'm not unusually fair, but every single girl in the usa tanned in the 80s except me (ok, I exaggerate), the makeup was all orange, and I could never match my own skin. It's like commercial makeup mixers believe there's 3 shades of medium toned white ppl, and no one else. Don't even get into undertones lol!
@@montananerd8244 100% I'm from Ireland, so pale but not the palest ever, I can just about get away with a drugstore lightest shade right now, back when I was a teenager there was literally zero pale foundations and that's why it took me until my 20s to get into makeup at all, imagine people paler than me? Who need the white mixer shade as foundation?? It's like everyone is a light or medium beige, no lighter, no darker!
I’m in my 30s now and tbh I’ve just given up on makeup completely. I’m pastyAF and no company seems to do my shade. It’s all shades of orange.. even ‘porcelain’ is orange?! 😂
@@bobbiemc2188 As a teen, I was that kid who could have used the white mixer as a foundation. It would have been far closer than what I was using back then, tbh. (My skin has darkened a couple shades since then after living a few years closer to the equator and not wearing enough sunscreen. I can get by with the absolute lightest drug store shade now, second lightest high end.) As a teen, I was taught to "blend the foundation into the neck." I wasn't the only one doing this. People of all skin tones had to, since there just weren't as many affordable options available as there are now. If you didn't happen to fall into the five or six tones the store sold, you were blending it into your neck. No one thought anything of it so long as you didn't accidentally turn your face orange. Poorly matched foundation was normalized, at least in my region.
My skin is a really strange colour. I'm pretty fair, but also have yellow undertones. So, I can't get any foundation that suits me. Either it turns me a sickly yellow color, like I have a severe case of hepatitis, or it makes me ghostly, to the point of looking dead! And, if I try and mix shades together, I look like I've gone pale orange!! As a result, I've given up wearing foundation altogether.
I'm getting "hydrate, don't bake" tattooed. Seriously, people have been baking for the last... 10 years already? And never once has worked for me and my oily sensitive skin. I can see why it works for setting stage makeup that's not meant to be inspected up close, but for everyday use it's one of the worst advices yet it keeps coming back.
Honestly I don’t bake but I do put a lot of powder on around my T-zone sometimes, and it can work depending on the weather and how my skin behaves 😂 but it’s way too unpredictable to promote as much as some influencers do. Hydration is definitely a way more effective method for most people.
As someone with some weird issues about visible complexion products, and who dislikes dry, gritty textures, baking makeup is truly ick to me. Good thing too, I finally realized my undereye circles are faint, but I have actual shadows due to glasses & a bony face. Might as well just let my imperfect face show, at least it looks natural and feels like skin lol...
I get told that I don't look my age (57) a fair bit. I'm sure it's because I don't bake under my eyes. I usually set my eyelids before I put shadow on, and then use a fixing spray at the end. I wouldn't yell at you to throw your powder away, but I don't bake.
Part of why Kevin Aucoin is such a top tier legendary makeup artist is because he could actually do makeup on all skintones and do it well. He also was an early advocate for diversity in the fashion industry and not just in skintones but in body shapes and sizes as well

The phrase "its looks fine... Well, fine loosely" is my new favourite line ever 😂😂😂
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought I got a half empty Charlotte Tilbury pinkgasm wand!! 😂 I literally thought I got a defective product! What a rip-off. I bet if I squeezed all the product out, it wouldn’t even fill a tablespoon.
@Amy B simple. Putting less product into a single tube means you can save the rest for another tube, and so on for dozens of batches, thus letting them produce more individual products and earning more money
A good reminder to always check and see the amount of product you’re getting before you buy! Her face makeup wands contain only 12 mL of product, so yes, less than a tablespoon. Packaging online and in person can be deceiving
@@snakewithapen5489 yes obviously, but they also run the risk of making very unhappy customers who feel duped by their cheap tactics. Why run that risk if you're a quality brand? Sorry, I realize I didn't go in depth previously. I understand that using less product per each packaging ultimately helps their bottom line. But they should have made a packaging size that was comparative to the actual product amount.
Thank you so much for talking about professional makeup artist not being able to cater people with darker skin. They act as if we dont exist and don't bring value to the makeup game. I've been in weddings before and specially told the bride to make sure they can do my makeup. Both times they didn't I ended up doing half of it myself. If I am in a wedding I will be getting my own artist.
It just blows my mind that brides don’t provide photos of all their bridesmaids at the initial consultation with the makeup artist. Even if a party is racially homogenous, someone might have an unusual face shape or a scar that needs to be considered. With everyone having an IG account, it’s not even hard to find a picture to supply
@@camcat26 personally I think that if you are truly a proffessional artist, you should be able to do make-up on any and every customer. They should be able to adapt, otherwise I don't feel like they deserve the label proffessional.
@@camcat26 it's easy for me. I might be the only person in the world without IG. You made some great points too. Makeup artist should always get unfiltered and bare face photos off all clients.
WHEN YOU SAID “Charlotte Tilbury is at best just fine” I FELT THAT!!! 100% agree with you ROBERT! I love that you always keep it real no matter what and that’s why I trust your reviews!!!❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉xoxo
Robert is invited to the cookout, no RSVP required. You can bring a dish! Stay as long as you want!! Lol Thank you for your passion when it comes to inclusion of darker skin tones in makeup. It’s so so appreciated ❤
That’s a bit of a concerning mindset. He’s as susceptible to fads and hype and bias as anyone else. He’s certainly knowledgeable and not selling anything (other than merch and the occasional collab) but still it’s good to not put people on a pedestal and remember that.
friend of mine reached out to me because she was learning to be a MUA and she wanted me to model for her so she could learn how to do makeup on deep skin tones. love that for her and she did a fabulous job but also sad that this isnt the standard yet
I have never understood MUAs not having complexion products for darker skin tones in their kits; it is far better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Mine is made up of the lightest and darkest complexion products I can find, along with a few mid-tones, plus colour correctors to adjust the undertones. And white and black, just in case. I have done the same with my powders. I have found this way to be more cost-effective as well.
I take care of my geriatric parents full time, so to say that finances are frightful is an understatement. I've often wondered what was really special about Charlotte Tilbury products because they looked pretty ,but nothing to go into debt over 🙃
A lot of products aren’t worth it…lol. It’s the name honestly. I had so much makeup over the years and now I literally have makeup in one bag. More expensive doesn’t mean better. I wish you all the best.
As someone that is always happy for cheaper dupes (budget reasons)...nothing really. I was going to say the cream shadow in a pot...but other brands can duplicate the same effect. There's better products for a quarter of CT's price for all her products
I am 41 yr old Black women. I have never had a good experience with MUA doing my makeup! Even at Sephora! Always left feeling more ugly! Learned to do my own makeup! Even for my best-friend's wedding I did my own makeup bc I was too scared to let a white mua do my makeup!
For deeper skin tones I would recommend having some basic tones in your kit to mix it yourself. Black, red and yellow should do the trick. You can mix a bit of a lighter foundation in it to make it less saturated if needed.
I have been looking for someone to expand on colors choices for mature skin. I had been finding that the cool tones I had been wearing previously aren't making me look like I have a pulse at this point. Thank you, Robert! ❤
I'm 53 and I have pale skin with cool undertones. I tried using warmer colors on a whim and I looked awful. That's what's fun about makeup. Experiment to see what works. I have enjoyed some of Jones Road stuff to get that glow from within.
I went to a darn good school for beauty, glamor, and special effects makeup and I became such great friends with one of the other girls. We were always partners. Lucky May had a darker complexion. Sadly, she was the only person with a darker completion in the class though. I really wish schools would bring in people of different skin tones to really allow the students the ability to learn how to work on a whole range of skin tones. It doesn't hurt and the students get more ability to learn the trade and do it well on EVERYONE.
I understand what you mean about baking the undereye but as a person with anemia, making the skin of my undereye completely transparent and revealing the dark layers of tissue underneath, there is nothing that covers that mess except a full coverage foundation+baking with pigmented powder. I've tried tens of products with every possible technique and I'd rather have a little bit texture due to the baking than look like I got punched in the eyeballs.
It's time to spend a few moments with my favorite makeup teacher. I never tried Charlotte Tilbury makeup because you label it as "fine." 🤣🤣 When Robert says there are other better brands, I believe it!! Cheers from Louisiana, USA.
The only thing more stunning than your skill as a make-up artist is you as a person. It's a joy to see your personality peak through. Your videos make me smile 🤌🏻
Fab video, really agree about Charlotte Tilbury, loathe her mascaras. You are such a gorgeous person, always respectful and your make up advice spot on. Hope you're having a lovely weekend ❤
I've actually stopped using powder completely. I use a bit of bb cream and I found a fabulous tinted balm. I'm Scandinavian with pale skin, dryness is an issue, and I'm 50 plus. I have learned that with the balm, it's like skin care and powder isn't even needed.
The amount of people in my class back when I was learning makeup that did *not* want to learn colour theory or mix colours to get the foundation colour right is crazy. The amount of times I went home looking orange and 1-2 tones darker or lighter..😅 dont understand why the 'teacher' didn't point it out immediately. As for the Charlotte Tilbury makeup, my personal opinion is because there's so many celebrities behind it(not that other brands dont), and lots of influencers promoting it due to that or hoping to get something out of it, people think "oh surely it must be phenomenal if they say so".
thank you for making these videos. i’m usually able to ignore hyped up brands but the CT propaganda was getting to me! the only thing preventing me from getting the products is the price tag. its nice to get a dose of reality every now and again.
Yes!! I LOVE the Ordinary range of skincare - it is BY FAR the best quality products you can get at that low price range without any fragrances or other crap in it - I recommend it to everyone!!
Here’s the deal right is my favourite part of these videos love it you know Robert means business when the here’s the deal right comes 😂 so interesting about the mature skin great video Robert ❤
I cannot use powder to set my under eyes. I don't care who makes it, how light weight it is, how little I use, and how I apply it - all powder makes my under eyes look like they are dried up creepy crusty nasty things. My trick to using concealer under by eyes is first you want a creamy concealer not drying (looking at you Shape Tape). I apply ONE dot at the bottom of my eye socket right smack in the middle (I am currently using the Dior Forever Skin). Then I use my concealer brush and using a tapping motion I spread that one dot up the towards my eye spreading it out until I reach right under my eye and the inside corner of my eye. Once I am done spreading the product I use my finger to light push the rest of product in. This hides all the discoloration of my under eyes and smooths everything out which I love. The best part is because I use so little product I don't need powder to set anything. My concealer doesn't crease and doesn't look like a dried up piece of fruit.
2:34 My YOUNGER sister bakes her powder, and was asked by an employee at Walmart if she was my MOM last week. If this story doesn't make you stop baking with powders, I give up.
I love how you talk about skintone ranges. Being Olive, I don't have it quite as bad as deeper skintones(seeing the vitriolic disrespect they get with makeup{not getting into the rest of it} puts me in a rage), but it's bad enough. When they whack on the most Yellow foundation they have on mr, and don't consider undertone, then it turns Jaundiced at best, sometimes ruddy, Oompa Loompa Orange...I'm almost fine with ashy, as you can add blushers to liven it up from Eastern vampire, but I hate the fake tan while intoxicated looks they tend to give me. Double insulting when you tell them what your actual shade is that's in their kit, and they refuse to use it. I'm glad you gave a different school of thought about vibrancy. I can't use warm/neon colours...at all. They turn garish so fast. It's Orange, ruddy, muddy, awful. I can do cool-toned and inner glowy all day. I love when the weather cooperates and I can get away with dewier no foundation at all looks. Because my foundation is powder, I have to start dewy to prevent caking the under eyes so yeah, I prefer your definition of vibrancy.
Olive undertone here too! I look like a Simpsons character with some foundations… I was so happy that Haus Labs has olive as an undertone for their foundation. Hope more brands expand their shade ranges even more in all directions.
I'm olive but so super pale that my skin tone just doesn't exist in foundation, except for east Asian brands, which I don't have access to. Pale skin only exists in pale pink and pale yellow, apparently.
@pathetic mortal Shiseido used to make them, then they revamped their foundation including an expansive range of shades that don't really match, because they're running too warm for me. They do have lighter shades, but uncertain how they'd work on your skintone/undertone. I've been using the darkest Zeesea Powder foundation in stock(which is about a shade lighter than me) just to take the shine away(they're pretty inexpensive on Amazon if you have Prime, though restocks are dependent on the shipments to the US(if you live here)), and don't catch in my lines much so far. Plus the compacts are so pretty, though I wish I they sold refills. Pür 4-in-1 Love Your Selfie(the liquid) has some pretty pale shades for Olive complexions, and have minis so you can try them out without too big a hit on the wallet. Didn't work as my base for me, as the ones I got are far too pale, but is pretty as a concealer. Maybe they might have one for you?
@Brooke Kivi I wanted to try that one, but I am allergic to some of the extracts in it. (T-T) I have a cool undertone, and an Olive Complexion. I think that's why a lot of Olive foundations don't work on me, because they literally aren't making my undertone, so they turn wrong because they're warm.
I'm white so I can't relate on that side of things but as a wheelchair user and an access consultant i hear that 'oh we just don't get many disabled customers' or 'we don't have any disabled members' ALL. THE. TIME. And when i hear that from people that just tells me they just don't value disabled customers.
Now that I am 60, I have gradually worn much less makeup. And just as you said Robert, I use baked, mineral products on my cheeks. One thing I wish you would address is the use of a coal black eyeliner on both the top and bottom. I have several friends who probably wore their makeup like this in the 90's, and haven't made the adjustment of wearing less. It is terribly aging, and I haven't found a way of bringing it up with them. (I know, I'm a wimp. But you have to know who can handle hearing something like that!)
If they love it, let them wear it. Your opinion is your own. Makeup is very personal and what you think is ageing is not what they think. Would you not be friends with them over some eyeliner? I think not. Just let it go. Ageing is to be cherished and celebrated.
@@sagebeauty Very good advice! of course I would never let something like eyeliner affect a friendship. They are beautiful women. But someone like Robert could talk about it in a very non-threatening, positive way. He has a way of addressing issues like this without being offensive!
That style of makeup is making a comeback now 😅 But even if it wasn't, just let them do what they like. It's not hurting them nor anyone else, so it's fine
I know that you've talked about the brands you use and like the most here and there but I would love to see a whole video where you just talk about your favorite makeup brands and why.
These people using concealer are so young. They have flawless skin most of them don’t even need a concealer. I am 58 and I would love to know how to use a concealer to get the best look . Currently, I use YSL touché eclat . Which I love. I would just like to see some tutorials from you with people with mature skin. I love your channel. And you and your brothers channel as well. ❤❤
I think I discovered your videos first, then I was confused as to why you looked so different, stopped wearing makeup and covered your brow scar, then finally realized from a comment on your brothers video that I am in fact an idiot. So I’m finally subscribed to you both. I just adore y’all. Your voice, the giggles. I don’t even like makeup that much but you’re so pleasant to listen to and watch 💙 and you both have the prettiest eyes, such depth. 😻💙 thank you for brightening my days
Happy Easter Robert xxx thank you for always given us such helpful advice! Xxxx wish I had found you before I spent 40 quid on my Charlotte Tilbury foundation 😭
I have such dry skin and I hydrate and moisturize and all that. When I do my makeup I have dry patches I have found a few things that help with that but I once tried the moisturizer over makeup and it does not do well! It’s spreads your makeup to other places , makes it more patchy, and leaves some spots on the face with no makeup.
Thankyou for this. I simply adore you and your brother's (plural) content. You truly are a gift. You educate and with such calm and such class and decorum. I am a subscriber and I watch your video's and like your video's. However I don't often comment. So I just wanted to say I adore you and you deserve the world. You are multi talented and multi skilled sweetheart. Also thank you for accentuating your (what I find to be very attractive scar), By doing that, you have truly helped me accept mine 💕🌻🧚♀️
I’m in my 40’s and have lost my vibrancy in my skin so I’m just now starting to use make up. A bit of pink tint under eyes, eye shadows and some lip gloss…nothing major but always wanted to do more than mascara, just never have
I’m obsessed with CT’s flawless filter - for me that is definitely worth the hype - however I have been so incredibly underwhelmed with everything else I’ve tried from that line.
I just bought your Sigma brush set & the Sigma eye primer you recommended. I'm so excited to receive them & try them along with some of your instructional videos! Love you & your channel Robert 😊🖤
I’m graduating next month and I’m too scared to get my makeup done. I know that there are foundations out there for me, but I’m worried about their technique :/
I have to agree here. It would be nice if they taught you all skin types, shades, etc... I've also been in the position where I've had to loan my products. I would also say I've had to teach on a shoot as well. Surprisingly even had to teach an artist on the same shoot. Granted it was special effects, but as an artist you should know how to do it if you accept the job.
So with the TikTok about colour makeup for mature skintones - I know what she was trying to say but I don't think it's exactly about cool tones vs warmth; or rather what she means by cool tones isn't exactly the same as what cool tones are. Greyish contour type shades are cooler but they're also muted - you don't contour with a silver or ice grey tone! Not to be a seasonal colour person lol but if you think about a Clear/Bright Winter palette for example, the colours are all cool tones but are also very bright and vibrant - they're not the ashy muted types of greys and mauves, they're royal blues and bright magentas and cherry reds. I think going for the brighter, more lively colours of what suits you is a better way to phrase it rather than 'warm colours' per se - ageing doesn't change your undertone. Also don't forget to take into account the impact greying hair can have - cooler colours can actually look better with grey hair if you go for bright jewel tones.
Influencers who bang on repeatedly about how great a product is, how it instantly changed their lives, etc., etc… I have a difficult time believing them. They make me wonder if they carry on enough about the product, it’ll be sent to them in P.R.

Poorly matched foundation was normalized, at least in my region.
My skin is a really strange colour. I'm pretty fair, but also have yellow undertones. So, I can't get any foundation that suits me. Either it turns me a sickly yellow color, like I have a severe case of hepatitis, or it makes me ghostly, to the point of looking dead! And, if I try and mix shades together, I look like I've gone pale orange!!
As a result, I've given up wearing foundation altogether.
I'm getting "hydrate, don't bake" tattooed.
Seriously, people have been baking for the last... 10 years already? And never once has worked for me and my oily sensitive skin. I can see why it works for setting stage makeup that's not meant to be inspected up close, but for everyday use it's one of the worst advices yet it keeps coming back.
Honestly I don’t bake but I do put a lot of powder on around my T-zone sometimes, and it can work depending on the weather and how my skin behaves 😂 but it’s way too unpredictable to promote as much as some influencers do. Hydration is definitely a way more effective method for most people.
As someone with some weird issues about visible complexion products, and who dislikes dry, gritty textures, baking makeup is truly ick to me. Good thing too, I finally realized my undereye circles are faint, but I have actual shadows due to glasses & a bony face. Might as well just let my imperfect face show, at least it looks natural and feels like skin lol...
I get told that I don't look my age (57) a fair bit. I'm sure it's because I don't bake under my eyes. I usually set my eyelids before I put shadow on, and then use a fixing spray at the end. I wouldn't yell at you to throw your powder away, but I don't bake.
Part of why Kevin Aucoin is such a top tier legendary makeup artist is because he could actually do makeup on all skintones and do it well. He also was an early advocate for diversity in the fashion industry and not just in skintones but in body shapes and sizes as well
The phrase "its looks fine... Well, fine loosely" is my new favourite line ever 😂😂😂
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought I got a half empty Charlotte Tilbury pinkgasm wand!! 😂 I literally thought I got a defective product! What a rip-off. I bet if I squeezed all the product out, it wouldn’t even fill a tablespoon.
This comment makes me miss 'The Makeup Breakup' by Beauty News
That's so weird, I wonder why they wouldn't fill the tubes.
@Amy B simple. Putting less product into a single tube means you can save the rest for another tube, and so on for dozens of batches, thus letting them produce more individual products and earning more money
A good reminder to always check and see the amount of product you’re getting before you buy! Her face makeup wands contain only 12 mL of product, so yes, less than a tablespoon. Packaging online and in person can be deceiving
@@snakewithapen5489 yes obviously, but they also run the risk of making very unhappy customers who feel duped by their cheap tactics. Why run that risk if you're a quality brand? Sorry, I realize I didn't go in depth previously. I understand that using less product per each packaging ultimately helps their bottom line. But they should have made a packaging size that was comparative to the actual product amount.
Thank you so much for talking about professional makeup artist not being able to cater people with darker skin. They act as if we dont exist and don't bring value to the makeup game. I've been in weddings before and specially told the bride to make sure they can do my makeup. Both times they didn't I ended up doing half of it myself. If I am in a wedding I will be getting my own artist.
It just blows my mind that brides don’t provide photos of all their bridesmaids at the initial consultation with the makeup artist. Even if a party is racially homogenous, someone might have an unusual face shape or a scar that needs to be considered. With everyone having an IG account, it’s not even hard to find a picture to supply
@@camcat26 personally I think that if you are truly a proffessional artist, you should be able to do make-up on any and every customer. They should be able to adapt, otherwise I don't feel like they deserve the label proffessional.
@@camcat26 it's easy for me. I might be the only person in the world without IG. You made some great points too. Makeup artist should always get unfiltered and bare face photos off all clients.
@@SlothDaan precisely.
@@alicialynnette9889 I don't have instagram either. It's nice to meet someone who doesn't too 😁
WHEN YOU SAID “Charlotte Tilbury is at best just fine” I FELT THAT!!! 100% agree with you ROBERT! I love that you always keep it real no matter what and that’s why I trust your reviews!!!❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉xoxo
Robert is invited to the cookout, no RSVP required. You can bring a dish! Stay as long as you want!! Lol Thank you for your passion when it comes to inclusion of darker skin tones in makeup. It’s so so appreciated ❤
Roberts's weekly reminder that some people are very Jackie 5-minute krafts when it comes to makeup 😂😂
Not gonna lie I just automatically hit the like button as I watch a Robert video because I know he’s automatically right and valid in his opinion 😅
That’s a bit of a concerning mindset. He’s as susceptible to fads and hype and bias as anyone else. He’s certainly knowledgeable and not selling anything (other than merch and the occasional collab) but still it’s good to not put people on a pedestal and remember that.
@@owlrecluse2234 I’m sorry who are you?
friend of mine reached out to me because she was learning to be a MUA and she wanted me to model for her so she could learn how to do makeup on deep skin tones. love that for her and she did a fabulous job but also sad that this isnt the standard yet
I have never understood MUAs not having complexion products for darker skin tones in their kits; it is far better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Mine is made up of the lightest and darkest complexion products I can find, along with a few mid-tones, plus colour correctors to adjust the undertones. And white and black, just in case. I have done the same with my powders. I have found this way to be more cost-effective as well.
I take care of my geriatric parents full time, so to say that finances are frightful is an understatement. I've often wondered what was really special about Charlotte Tilbury products because they looked pretty ,but nothing to go into debt over 🙃
A lot of products aren’t worth it…lol. It’s the name honestly. I had so much makeup over the years and now I literally have makeup in one bag. More expensive doesn’t mean better. I wish you all the best.
As someone that is always happy for cheaper dupes (budget reasons)...nothing really. I was going to say the cream shadow in a pot...but other brands can duplicate the same effect. There's better products for a quarter of CT's price for all her products
@@ayee_ja2898 💜
Best Sunday ever with Robert giving out facts...esp loved the Charlotte Tilbury one
I am 41 yr old Black women. I have never had a good experience with MUA doing my makeup! Even at Sephora! Always left feeling more ugly! Learned to do my own makeup! Even for my best-friend's wedding I did my own makeup bc I was too scared to let a white mua do my makeup!
WHY are people still baking, I just don't get it...
Love your eye look here, it's so subtle and beautiful! 🖤🖤🖤
For deeper skin tones I would recommend having some basic tones in your kit to mix it yourself. Black, red and yellow should do the trick. You can mix a bit of a lighter foundation in it to make it less saturated if needed.
I have been looking for someone to expand on colors choices for mature skin. I had been finding that the cool tones I had been wearing previously aren't making me look like I have a pulse at this point. Thank you, Robert! ❤
We tend to get a slight yellow undertone as we age, and almost no one makes anything like that, especially for pale skin. Frustrating!
@@maryeckel9682 Bobbi Brown is doing better now that she has gotten so much older
I'm 53 and I have pale skin with cool undertones. I tried using warmer colors on a whim and I looked awful. That's what's fun about makeup. Experiment to see what works. I have enjoyed some of Jones Road stuff to get that glow from within.
I went to a darn good school for beauty, glamor, and special effects makeup and I became such great friends with one of the other girls. We were always partners. Lucky May had a darker complexion. Sadly, she was the only person with a darker completion in the class though. I really wish schools would bring in people of different skin tones to really allow the students the ability to learn how to work on a whole range of skin tones. It doesn't hurt and the students get more ability to learn the trade and do it well on EVERYONE.
Robert: baking must stop.
Me in my 30s who just bought baking powder for the first time ever and started baking like 2 weeks ago: ………….😢………😅
I love it that the techniques I never bothered with (like baking) are going away, lol
I understand what you mean about baking the undereye but as a person with anemia, making the skin of my undereye completely transparent and revealing the dark layers of tissue underneath, there is nothing that covers that mess except a full coverage foundation+baking with pigmented powder. I've tried tens of products with every possible technique and I'd rather have a little bit texture due to the baking than look like I got punched in the eyeballs.
I thought the black lady vitiligo at first glance 😅😅. The color match was so off.
It's time to spend a few moments with my favorite makeup teacher. I never tried Charlotte Tilbury makeup because you label it as "fine." 🤣🤣 When Robert says there are other better brands, I believe it!! Cheers from Louisiana, USA.
The only thing more stunning than your skill as a make-up artist is you as a person. It's a joy to see your personality peak through. Your videos make me smile 🤌🏻
I love his deadpan when he says: just fine. Blink. Blink. Damned with faint praise. 😂
Fab video, really agree about Charlotte Tilbury, loathe her mascaras.
You are such a gorgeous person, always respectful and your make up advice spot on. Hope you're having a lovely weekend ❤
I've actually stopped using powder completely. I use a bit of bb cream and I found a fabulous tinted balm. I'm Scandinavian with pale skin, dryness is an issue, and I'm 50 plus. I have learned that with the balm, it's like skin care and powder isn't even needed.
The amount of people in my class back when I was learning makeup that did *not* want to learn colour theory or mix colours to get the foundation colour right is crazy. The amount of times I went home looking orange and 1-2 tones darker or lighter..😅 dont understand why the 'teacher' didn't point it out immediately.
As for the Charlotte Tilbury makeup, my personal opinion is because there's so many celebrities behind it(not that other brands dont), and lots of influencers promoting it due to that or hoping to get something out of it, people think "oh surely it must be phenomenal if they say so".
You and your makeup look absolutely stunning! Slaying your natural beauty today! 🔥
thank you for making these videos. i’m usually able to ignore hyped up brands but the CT propaganda was getting to me! the only thing preventing me from getting the products is the price tag. its nice to get a dose of reality every now and again.
I’d love to see someone open the Tillbury beauty wands & actually see how much product is in there
I fell into the hype for the CT night cream and it was...fine. I now use the ordinary moisturizer a fraction of the cost and it works so much better.
Yes!! I LOVE the Ordinary range of skincare - it is BY FAR the best quality products you can get at that low price range without any fragrances or other crap in it - I recommend it to everyone!!
Here’s the deal right is my favourite part of these videos love it you know Robert means business when the here’s the deal right comes 😂 so interesting about the mature skin great video Robert ❤
Hydrate don't bake is my new motto in life!
You are very very welcome! Thank you for having me 😂
I cannot use powder to set my under eyes. I don't care who makes it, how light weight it is, how little I use, and how I apply it - all powder makes my under eyes look like they are dried up creepy crusty nasty things. My trick to using concealer under by eyes is first you want a creamy concealer not drying (looking at you Shape Tape). I apply ONE dot at the bottom of my eye socket right smack in the middle (I am currently using the Dior Forever Skin). Then I use my concealer brush and using a tapping motion I spread that one dot up the towards my eye spreading it out until I reach right under my eye and the inside corner of my eye. Once I am done spreading the product I use my finger to light push the rest of product in. This hides all the discoloration of my under eyes and smooths everything out which I love. The best part is because I use so little product I don't need powder to set anything. My concealer doesn't crease and doesn't look like a dried up piece of fruit.
2:34 My YOUNGER sister bakes her powder, and was asked by an employee at Walmart if she was my MOM last week.
If this story doesn't make you stop baking with powders, I give up.
Can u make a video showing the brushes you personally use and explain what u use them for(the ones in ur everyday makeup routine & alternatives)
I love how you talk about skintone ranges. Being Olive, I don't have it quite as bad as deeper skintones(seeing the vitriolic disrespect they get with makeup{not getting into the rest of it} puts me in a rage), but it's bad enough. When they whack on the most Yellow foundation they have on mr, and don't consider undertone, then it turns Jaundiced at best, sometimes ruddy, Oompa Loompa Orange...I'm almost fine with ashy, as you can add blushers to liven it up from Eastern vampire, but I hate the fake tan while intoxicated looks they tend to give me. Double insulting when you tell them what your actual shade is that's in their kit, and they refuse to use it.
I'm glad you gave a different school of thought about vibrancy.
I can't use warm/neon colours...at all. They turn garish so fast. It's Orange, ruddy, muddy, awful.
I can do cool-toned and inner glowy all day. I love when the weather cooperates and I can get away with dewier no foundation at all looks. Because my foundation is powder, I have to start dewy to prevent caking the under eyes so yeah, I prefer your definition of vibrancy.
Olive undertone here too! I look like a Simpsons character with some foundations… I was so happy that Haus Labs has olive as an undertone for their foundation. Hope more brands expand their shade ranges even more in all directions.
I'm olive but so super pale that my skin tone just doesn't exist in foundation, except for east Asian brands, which I don't have access to. Pale skin only exists in pale pink and pale yellow, apparently.
@pathetic mortal
Shiseido used to make them, then they revamped their foundation including an expansive range of shades that don't really match, because they're running too warm for me. They do have lighter shades, but uncertain how they'd work on your skintone/undertone.
I've been using the darkest Zeesea Powder foundation in stock(which is about a shade lighter than me) just to take the shine away(they're pretty inexpensive on Amazon if you have Prime, though restocks are dependent on the shipments to the US(if you live here)), and don't catch in my lines much so far. Plus the compacts are so pretty, though I wish I they sold refills.
Pür 4-in-1 Love Your Selfie(the liquid) has some pretty pale shades for Olive complexions, and have minis so you can try them out without too big a hit on the wallet. Didn't work as my base for me, as the ones I got are far too pale, but is pretty as a concealer. Maybe they might have one for you?
@Brooke Kivi I wanted to try that one, but I am allergic to some of the extracts in it. (T-T)
I have a cool undertone, and an Olive Complexion. I think that's why a lot of Olive foundations don't work on me, because they literally aren't making my undertone, so they turn wrong because they're warm.
It took me 5 years to understand how dry my undereyes looked with baking. It’s horrifying😂
I don't bake under my eyes but I do the sides of my nose, especially where my glasses sit. Powders that have mostly silica is so good for there.
I'm white so I can't relate on that side of things but as a wheelchair user and an access consultant i hear that 'oh we just don't get many disabled customers' or 'we don't have any disabled members' ALL. THE. TIME. And when i hear that from people that just tells me they just don't value disabled customers.
Now that I am 60, I have gradually worn much less makeup. And just as you said Robert, I use baked, mineral products on my cheeks.
One thing I wish you would address is the use of a coal black eyeliner on both the top and bottom. I have several friends who probably wore their makeup like this in the 90's, and haven't made the adjustment of wearing less. It is terribly aging, and I haven't found a way of bringing it up with them. (I know, I'm a wimp. But you have to know who can handle hearing something like that!)
If they love it, let them wear it. Your opinion is your own. Makeup is very personal and what you think is ageing is not what they think. Would you not be friends with them over some eyeliner? I think not. Just let it go. Ageing is to be cherished and celebrated.
Gift them a nice brown liner!
@@sagebeauty Very good advice! of course I would never let something like eyeliner affect a friendship. They are beautiful women. But someone like Robert could talk about it in a very non-threatening, positive way. He has a way of addressing issues like this without being offensive!
@@tanyavalli3010 That's a great idea.... include it in a gift! Just for them to try!
That style of makeup is making a comeback now 😅 But even if it wasn't, just let them do what they like. It's not hurting them nor anyone else, so it's fine
11:21 best look ever from Robert. He could have stopped the review there and just gave *the look*. 😂😂
I know that you've talked about the brands you use and like the most here and there but I would love to see a whole video where you just talk about your favorite makeup brands and why.
your vids are so comforting to me, thanks for existing ahaha you make my days ! ❤️
Unless my undertones become warm when I get older, I'll still be using cool-toned products :P
Your videos make me laugh because you try so hard to be nice and make the best faces when doing so!
My daughter got me Robert's Sigma brush set for my birthday.
I had coveted them for so long, and they are AMAZING!
These people using concealer are so young. They have flawless skin most of them don’t even need a concealer. I am 58 and I would love to know how to use a concealer to get the best look . Currently, I use YSL touché eclat . Which I love. I would just like to see some tutorials from you with people with mature skin. I love your channel. And you and your brothers channel as well. ❤❤
I think I discovered your videos first, then I was confused as to why you looked so different, stopped wearing makeup and covered your brow scar, then finally realized from a comment on your brothers video that I am in fact an idiot. So I’m finally subscribed to you both. I just adore y’all. Your voice, the giggles. I don’t even like makeup that much but you’re so pleasant to listen to and watch 💙 and you both have the prettiest eyes, such depth. 😻💙 thank you for brightening my days
Gosh your makeup is gorgeous
Happy Easter Robert xxx thank you for always given us such helpful advice! Xxxx wish I had found you before I spent 40 quid on my Charlotte Tilbury foundation 😭
I take it that, it’s not that great then?
No! But it could be user error 😁
Robert, i have to say, your make up today (and every time you get on camera for that matter) is ON POINT mammaaa.. 💅💖✌ love your content
I love you Robert! You've taught me so much! I love all your tips
That charlotte tilbury setting spray is AMAAAAZING!! But yeah everything else gives me too faced chocolate bar palette boring vibes 😪 so neutral
I have such dry skin and I hydrate and moisturize and all that. When I do my makeup I have dry patches I have found a few things that help with that but I once tried the moisturizer over makeup and it does not do well! It’s spreads your makeup to other places , makes it more patchy, and leaves some spots on the face with no makeup.
The ELF wands just got released I can't wait to get mine I bet it's better ❤
I’d love a makeup artist masterclass from you
2:35 robert woke up and chose to be shady todayy 😂🖤
Can we talk about how fantastic your eyes look!!
I absolutely adore you!! I watch your videos and they make me feel happy unlike other videos!
Your reaction for the video at 11:27 killed me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I don’t think that’s a great idea, do you?”
Can you imagine how popular and successful you would be as an artist that actually catered to darker skin and can do darker skin flawlessly?
Your videos restore my faith in the TH-cam beauty community and renew my genuine love of makeup and the artistry of it. ❤
I work at MAC and the amount of brides who have come in to buy foundation because their makeup artist doesnt have their shade is.... astonishing
Thankyou for this. I simply adore you and your brother's (plural) content. You truly are a gift. You educate and with such calm and such class and decorum. I am a subscriber and I watch your video's and like your video's. However I don't often comment. So I just wanted to say I adore you and you deserve the world. You are multi talented and multi skilled sweetheart. Also thank you for accentuating your (what I find to be very attractive scar), By doing that, you have truly helped me accept mine 💕🌻🧚♀️
I’m in my 40’s and have lost my vibrancy in my skin so I’m just now starting to use make up. A bit of pink tint under eyes, eye shadows and some lip gloss…nothing major but always wanted to do more than mascara, just never have
I’m obsessed with CT’s flawless filter - for me that is definitely worth the hype - however I have been so incredibly underwhelmed with everything else I’ve tried from that line.
Don't bake, hydrate ⭐ yesss keeping this in mind
Would love a tutorial on your eyeshadow! Stunning!
I just bought your Sigma brush set & the Sigma eye primer you recommended. I'm so excited to receive them & try them along with some of your instructional videos! Love you & your channel Robert 😊🖤
Wow yay!!! 🎉 always happy when you post!
Robert here to save my day with a video ❤
really liked the video i havent watched roberts content since maybe about a year and half ago (just life you know) and this was so much fun
Love your commentary about catering to deeper skin tones!
So close to a milli....we better party when it happens
Your makeup looks amazing! You look like a prince!
your reactions are the best !!!!!
I’m graduating next month and I’m too scared to get my makeup done. I know that there are foundations out there for me, but I’m worried about their technique :/
Love watching things and stuff with you Robert 😂
Omg!!! Double comment bc of Cara Lynn Brooks. She owns the MLM Seint makeup and all her tips are based on the makeup her company makes.
My favorite vids from you Robert 🙏🏻
I have to agree here. It would be nice if they taught you all skin types, shades, etc... I've also been in the position where I've had to loan my products. I would also say I've had to teach on a shoot as well. Surprisingly even had to teach an artist on the same shoot. Granted it was special effects, but as an artist you should know how to do it if you accept the job.
I would loooove to see a video about Your professional makeup kit that you are using now🤩😍
It was the “I don’t think that’s good…” for me 😂😂😂😂
I bought Robert’s brush set from Sigma and I LOVE them. Sigma knows what they’re doing. 💜💜💜✨✨✨
Hey these wild makeup hacks or routines are great because we get your hilarious commentary 🤣
I giggled when you said the powder thing under the eyes because it IS still a thing 😂
Happy Easterr
So with the TikTok about colour makeup for mature skintones - I know what she was trying to say but I don't think it's exactly about cool tones vs warmth; or rather what she means by cool tones isn't exactly the same as what cool tones are. Greyish contour type shades are cooler but they're also muted - you don't contour with a silver or ice grey tone! Not to be a seasonal colour person lol but if you think about a Clear/Bright Winter palette for example, the colours are all cool tones but are also very bright and vibrant - they're not the ashy muted types of greys and mauves, they're royal blues and bright magentas and cherry reds. I think going for the brighter, more lively colours of what suits you is a better way to phrase it rather than 'warm colours' per se - ageing doesn't change your undertone. Also don't forget to take into account the impact greying hair can have - cooler colours can actually look better with grey hair if you go for bright jewel tones.
Do these TikTok influencers still not understand that TT compresses resolution, making skin look more flawless? 🤦♀️
You are so close to 1 million followers Robert!!
Influencers who bang on repeatedly about how great a product is, how it instantly changed their lives, etc., etc…
I have a difficult time believing them. They make me wonder if they carry on enough about the product, it’ll be sent to them in P.R.
