I get SO FRUSTRATED when this happens. I'll be blending my foundation and the beauty blender will literally pull off the foundation leaving a giant hole in my foundation. Some spots will stay in place while others will just lift off and not stick to my skin. I'm going to have to do a little bit of trial and error to find out what works best for me.
this also happens to me everytime, especially when im in school so i get really conscious when im talking to people up close bc i could literally tell that they can see that bad texture 😭😭😭
i know why this happens. its because of using dry beauty blender. coz its porous and tends to absorb things. we wet it so that it can no longer absorb any thing
I’ve got dry skin with lots of acne scars and folliculitis so I’m often dealing with dry patches and/or redness to cover but full coverage foundation looks crazy on me so I’ve just mastered spot concealing and using skin tints and I get compliments on how “real” my makeup looks all the time
@@purrgundy My current faves are the Rimmel Skin Kind or the Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint SPF 30! I use pretty small amounts and pair it with spot concealing and it does wonders for looking like real skin. The Haus Labs foundation is god tier for complexion too. Again, I only use small amounts of that so it’s like a skin tint
@@bron8290 Perfectly fine question as it’s not widely practiced these days! It’s basically using a concealer that’s an exact match to your skin and targeting just where you need concealing (like spots). It’s not a brightening technique, it’s just used to cover problem areas. Mostly used for models or people who like light coverage
I never got into using liquid foundations (even as a teen). I didn't have problematic skin, just a few blemishes during that time of the month but not even every month. The one time I tried it I immediately took it off because I felt like I was wearing a mask. It's always been powder foundation for me and then it's lightly applied. As a young adult that's when I got attacked by the pimple squad which I have some scarring from. Once skin tints hit the scene hard I started using one along with my powder foundation. I like the way that combo works. If I don't want to I won't use the skin tint all over my face. Because the match is perfect no one can tell. Love this because like I previously said I don't feel like I'm wearing a mask and my face feels like it can breathe...
It reminds me of a butterfly fluttering it's wings and revealing a pop of colour. His eyelashes are the wins and the lighter blue on th e lids is the inner wing if that makes senze
I'm not a fan of influencers dripping products, especially makeup products all over the skin for visual effects more than functionality because it is way too much product. People at home forget that they don't have studio lighting or high end cameras and it will look different at home and especially in natural lighting. I appreciate your approach to educate with a realistic viewpoint. I use the back of my hand as a palette for liquid/ cream products for myself and use a glass pallette when applying makeup on others. This method allows for an even base and better blending of contour, highlight and blush prior to setting with powder.
I have extremely oily skin, I also suffer with some texture, acne and my pores are large. I use elf toner and moisturizer, and a tiny layer of elf setting spray before applying foundation with a beauty blender (I get it wet and ring it out before I start anything, and let it sit for a few) and a don't touch powder. It works really well for my face and has taken me years to perfect! I use the occasional primer (very thin layer) on my cheeks and around my nose if I'm particularly dry and oily that day. He's right, it takes time but it's so worth it! Thanks Robert for teaching me how to find what works for my skin✨💜
I am supposed to be doing an essay but this just came out as I was getting distracted and putting on makeup HAHAHA, my skin texture has been TERRIBLE and no matter how much or little base makeup I use, my face looks awful. THANK YOU ROBERT! You are saving me and my heavy insecurities 🩵
@@RobertWelsh can you do a review on the Eyeko brand? They are London based, right? Their mascaras and liquid liner are amazing. They are so superior to so many luxury brands. Yet, not many people know about them. Not here in the US anyway. I'm so curious about their eye shadows. PS. - I genuinely adore you, I could listen to you ALL DAY!
I never ever thought I'd apply oil before my makeup - being an oily person. BUT, your Beauty Bakerie baking oil tip has been MAGIC on my now combo 50yr old skin. I used it on the weekend for an event, and my makeup was flawless for 14hrs - THANK YOU!
I can always count on Robert to share pertinent information that adds to my life!! I did a "clear out" in my subscription list on TH-cam because I'm not watching as many makeup videos as I use too. Robert's channel is too important to miss!!
good skincare routine both day and night helps a lot with my base makeup application. Keeping the dead skin minimal and the oil control from skincare are so helpful for me.
THIS is why I love your channel, Robert. I would never try most of the looks you do in your videos, but when it comes to straight-up make-up theory & knowing all the tips & tricks to create a flawless face, you're the King! 👑💯😘
Robert, I am watching your videos as a form of therapy. I don't know how to explain but the way you talk and your voice tone is sooooooo calming. Much love xx
Stunning 🤩 I very rarely wear makeup due to excessive texture, wrinkles and crepey skin, but finally found a skin serum/foundation that suits me without turning orange! I'll experiment with some powders I've recently bought. Thanks for the tips
The tip about foundation mainly on the center of tour face has been mentioned in previous videos and THANK YOU SO MUCH bc it has truly saved me time & money by using less product & it looks better! I do use a primer but only a small amnt in the tzone, where pores are more visible & for me, primer does actually help more than a moisturizer or a serum. The hydration mist & beauty blender combo are also my saving grace for tying my whole look together and for patchiness, again smth you've mentioned before that I've incorporated. You're so helpful, tysm
A couple of years ago I started using a powder brush to apply foundation because it just looked so thick, comfy, with soft compact bristles. I love it. I have the Mac Mineralize Skinfinish Natural compact in my skin tone, I love it. Since I work from home & am still semi stuck in 2020 mode I rarely use cosmetics but I appreciate the education. 😊
The less is more foundation is soooo true, I've been doing this for the past few years now and my foundation looks the best it's ever been. I always use so tissue to dry out my beauty sponge so that its just soft and bouncy. Great video very helpful tips 👍
Great tips, I've had issues with patchy foundation and texture and even in previous videos when you say just don't use face powder has been super helpful
This is so helpful! I've been doing my make up for 15 years but lately I've been getting really patchy make up and it's so frustrating, I end up taking it off and starting again! Loving your eye looks lately, giving me loads of inspiration 🥳!
I do the same thing! My foundation will start to come off in patches, so I wipe off all my makeup and start over again in hopes that it will magically stick the second time around!
My makeup too for the last 8 years never lifted. With the new skincare routine I'm having a lot of these issues. Makes me think maybe the whole skincare trend is overrated
You’ve said it once before about the mist and I have to say it’s perfect. My skin dry/dehydrated sitting under the air conditioner/heater at work is screaming ‘give me moisture’. I did get the new Estée Lauder hydrating mist, I feel 100 pulling out one of their products but it really is good - then I tap it in just like you said and day at work done. It lasts about 5 hours. Go to lunch looking like scrambled eggs and return looking fresher with no eggs - do wait for it dry into your skin or you’ll run the risk of wiping it off! Love you Robert ❤
These tips are great. One thing to note too is the ingredients of your makeup or skincare!, Do not mix silicone, oil and water based ingredients. I've been doing the same routine and recently it gets patchy after just an hour outside (humid tropical) and it was driving me crazy as towhat could've caused it. After checking alll of my skincare and makeup ingredients, it was my new sunscreen which was water based was causing my makeup to separate haha (since all of my makeup is silicone based and well I guess I was using my sunscreen as the primer too)
I do think I often use too much skincare to combat the dry patches all over. I hate when foundation clings to any dryness. I've learned that I don't like setting powder really. I've ruined my make-up so many times trying to use it because it looks great and is so smoothing on everyone else. On me I look like a dinosaur with powder 😅
Thank you for this video! I’m in my mid 40’s and my skin has changed so much. By 9:00 am, my makeup would be extremely patchy. Using less product has made a visible difference in the longevity and using a towel for my beauty blender is a game changer.
I used a lot of your tips for less is more, i have a really really dry flaky skin, with a lot of fine lines that looks bad with more coverage and i made that mistake for years. Using less became everything to me and using a brush too makes just perfect makeup
Thank you for this, Robert. I have given up on liquid foundation at this point because no matter how I prep my skin or what i use to apply, it just does not lay nicely. I always use mineral powder foundation. I will try liquid again, using really tiny amounts at a time! 🖤
An absolute HUGE Thanks Robert 💜 You answered my non waterproof mascara (from latest Live Q&A) and no longer look like a raccoon! Love & Blessings from 🇺🇸
The best beauty blender I’ve found so far is the Kiko one - it has a slight silicone feel to it but puffs up nicely and blends the foundation beautifully! But I do agree that it needs to be wrung out fully
I use my fingers to apply and blend my foundation. It has never failed me. I use a flat sponge to even it out on my nose and the corner of my eye. To me its more sanitary any way. And yes I wash my hands before I apply foundation.
It took me a long time to realize I was over-prepping my skin with skincare. I’m not one to use too much of any given skincare product, but my face has generally been dry, so I love the feel of thicker, heavier products. But these don’t do well with foundation. My makeup went on so much better when I just cleansed my skin and applied a runny, slightly creamy serum. I thought it was crazy when I tried it, but it works beautifully! I was just making all the wrong assumptions about what my skin should need under makeup.
Any tips on how to fix “smile lines” or creases around the mouth? I think I watched from one of your react videos about using eye primer but I couldn’t find it to be sure
Yea! Eye primer that is your skin tone and use that in the area instead of foundation, don’t go over it with foundation. It will of course eventually crease, makeup can’t stop our skin moving unfortunately!
Glad to see you in bluish eye shadow , although I have vampire white skin Ash blonde hair and blue eyes , browns purples etc plus same in eyeliner or black make me look like I've been punched in the eyes , I have cool undertones and realy want to see more cool colours on eyemake up
YES! I have really been leaning into the less is more with products lately and not always using a dedicated primer. I've been much happier and my skin looks more like skin and less like skin covered in makeup.
I was just gonna comment about mineral powder and you touched on it 😂 Your the bomb ❤ I'm of the older age group and tried hiding away from powder foundation until I did try mineral and a dewy setting spray absolutely a game changer for me ! The setting spray just alters the look completely. Love it !
I found using a brush first stamping it in and then a sponge not damp. And I use my face spf for primer most days. You are my favorite u always are teaching ❤
That blue shadow with alll the dark going on is MAGNIFICENT!!! I have similar skin and hair tones and i never did blue. I will now. Im still hooked on berries. They liggt me up!
Excellent video thank you!! I've never had any problem with patchy application of my liquid foundation, but since we've recently moved to a small town, it seems the 'hard' water is the cause of my patchiness 😅
I’m sticking to my usual that works beautifully. Cosrx mucin 96, cosrx mucin advanced snail peptide eye cream, Topicals serum for dark spots to brighten and Eucerin age defense face sunscreen in 50. Though I do use retinols and alternate with tretinoin. Also what really helps is me shaving my face once a month.
I have very dry skin and I’m new to the makeup world! This has helped tremendously ! The very last part about having patience was really nice because I feel like I’m wasting money trying all these products. I didn’t educate myself first. But on my dry skin I use a vegan skincare oil after my moisturizer. I like the Bobbi brown vitamin c primer moisturizer, that’s my next buy! I need cream primers and limited hydrating powder. Powder helps with my creasing but to combat the dry look after the powders I use a dewy lightweight glow setting spray before and after starting makeup. 😅
Thank you so much! Out of the different videos I watched to figure what happened with my foundation (because it went on well the 1st time) you are the person who talked about problems with application. Now I know wring out my beauty blenders with a towel. Perfect! ❤
Thank you so much for this! I never thought that my skincare routine would be the issue. I notice the last few weeks my foundation isn’t holding up over the days as it warms up. My skin probably just doesn’t need the moisture it did in winter so that is likely why. Also maybe the sunscreen and moisturizer is just too much. I’ll experiment a bit .
I've been using sunscreen in place of moisturizer when I wear makeup. I use Korean sunscreens - Beauty of Joseon & Purito mostly. They're packed with moisturizing ingredients. 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I am someone who thinks really literally and you gave such a wonderfully thorough breakdown, excited to put your tips into practice!
3:10 some people also use their beauty blenders dry and then wash them after and them re-dry makeup has no rules just tips and suggestions so find what works for you even if its not the same tip or suggestion that works for someone else
Holy shit that eye look is 🔥🔥🔥 Such great tips!! Since I started cutting back on the amount of skincare products I use before foundation I’ve noticed my makeup looks so much better and stays put way longer! And the beauty blender trick is a MUST.
I have incredibly oily skin! I cleanse my skin, very lightly moisturize, and then apply setting spray BEFORE the rest of my makeup. it's helped a lot, especially with creasing. I also always reccomend powder over liquid for oily skin. I find that if it breaks down during the day, it still maintins a better texture than the liquid foundation
Thank you for all these wonderful tips. I’ve tried everything,for years. And I still insist on Wearing makeup even when it looks horribly lifted. I’ll be trying these things tomorrow!💜💜
Hi Robert, love your videos! Please could you do a video on contouring for different face shapes? I have a heart shaped face and can’t find a good way to contour! Thanks 🥰
Such fab advice thank you Robert ...my make up game is so much better since I found your channel...i always use a brush now for foundation and it looks so much better! Happy Monday xxxx
You have the most soothing and relaxing voice ever 💜 thanks for this incredible helpful tips!! I definitely will be trying some bc I do fight with foundations from time to time. Much love for yor Robert!
My make up used to separate and I was adamant I had oily skin, I barely moisturised because I didn’t want to exacerbate the greasy texture. My friend told me about her friend who had the same problem and a dermatologist said she actually had dry skin and it was oily because she was ‘cleaning’ it too much and stripping it of its natural oils. I stopped with my obsessive need to clean my skin with 100’s of different products and moisturise daily and my skin is so much better and definitely thanks me for it!
Instead of using Setting Sprays, Especially for Dry Skin. You can use Toner. You can also use Toner in replacement of Water with your Beauty Sponge. The ideal of using Toners as a replacement of Setting Sprays or Water is because it has all the natural ingredients & Hydration the Skin needs to rehydrate. Most Dry Skin people always wonder why their makeup is always separating- including myself, is because dry skin & Alcohol products don't cooperate it tends to separate your makeup. Makeup products that contain Alcohol will eventually dry out the skin. For dry skin people, non- alcohol makeup products are your best suggestions, in my opinion and from my experience. I hope this helps. [:
@@Jaishr__eeram By all means any Toner without chemical should work and yes rose water toners should work. Matter of fact I use the Thyers Rose Petal Toner and it works wonders. Instead of a Toner, you may also use a Makeup Mist Setting Spray, if you look into the ingredients you will notice those Misting Makeup Spray Bottles do not contain Alcohol. I hope this helped. ☺️
Hi Robert. Thank you so much for this video. I'm getting good at eye makeup (not on you level yet but one day hopefully) but I'm finding the base makeup aspect to be tricky. You are such a bright light in the makeup community. Love from South Africa
Thank you for this video Robert!! I occasionally run into this problem, and it’s almost always that I’ve used way too much foundation - applying my foundation sparingly and using my fingers to apply instead of my usual brush or blender usually does the trick for me! 💜💜
I was wondering the best way to prime my skin so I searched your channel and found this video and the one from a few years ago. Both were very helpful.
Thank you so much!!! Your advice has absolutely helped me so much. I’m 40 and my skin is matured so I definitely have this issue . But now I’m very excited to try these techniques ❤
This helps so much! I've developed a spot under my cheekbone that doesn't hold makeup anymore for some reason. I don't wear makeup that often, but I did this past weekend and I was staring at my cheek like WTH??
@@RobertWelsh completely random! Just an open spot in my bronzer. I eventually decided to just wear my hair down and gave up after trying to add just a little more product in that spot lol can't wait to try these tips! Love your videos!
i’ve been struggling with this for months now. i think it’s too much skincare tbh. but it’s really disheartening. bought so many expensive foundations thinking this will be different and then they all end up the same lol x
For me, applying skin tint/any base right after sunscreen messes up the finish and color. I tried waiting for the sunsreen to settle for 20 mins and this technique immensely helped with an airbrushed finish. Hehhe I hope this helps others
Video suggestion: makeup techniques for hot summer (given that it’s increasingly hot in the uk, would be great timing 🥹) for both dry and oily skins. Also, tips on how to remove waterproof mascara easily cause sometimes it doesn’t come off completely even with an oil cleanser 😮💨
Have you got any tips to prevent (or help decrease) sunglasses 😎 from disturbing foundation on the nose? I tried the powder on nose and sunglasses hack I saw on TH-cam but didn't work. I know it's easy to say "don't wear makeup" but it makes me feel confident. 💜
I feel so stupid rn 😂 i thought I’d learned almost all the tips and tricks but I literally thought the point of the beauty blender WAS to be wet to make the foundation more dewy 💀😂
Thank you for these tips. I struggle with cracking on my nose. Although I have a regular skincare routine, my makeup always cracks on my nose. It’s much worse when I wear my glasses, but I’m not sure if that is related or not.
I used to not squeeze by beauty blender on a towel and wondered why my foundation was all messed up. Then I started doing the towel thing and it solved my problem
The mineral powder thing works. I had really bad eczema the other day and was going to see a band (Placebo, yay!), allll around my nose & eyebrows was peeling so I did a gel moisturiser, not much foundation but pulled too hard on my powder lid & spilt tons of powder on my face. I panicked but on looking in the mirror it worked! It did all peel the next day but it worked.
I love that you made this video, Robert! I have incredibly oily skin, and for some reason, I'm finding that foundation will sometimes settle into my pores and give that weird white-dotted look on my cheeks by my nose and on my nose. Is it possible to stop it from doing that? It's so frustrating!
I've had this happen too...try using a gentle exfoliation product weekly and dermaplane. As far as the nose, he says its a really stubbron place for makeup, even for him. Maybe skin the foundation on your nose & instead do some Contouring and highlight ? That's what I've started doing, along with a very small amnt of super fine powder that's my skin tone. I use a really small amnt on a small little poof if I don't wanna contour that day and it looks really nice. Hope those tips will maybe help?
..... aight i wish i knew about this video before i royally f-ed up my makeup yesterday. thank you for the info! i will not be making the same mistakes again
I get SO FRUSTRATED when this happens. I'll be blending my foundation and the beauty blender will literally pull off the foundation leaving a giant hole in my foundation. Some spots will stay in place while others will just lift off and not stick to my skin. I'm going to have to do a little bit of trial and error to find out what works best for me.
THIS! This is what happens with my liquid bronzer! And it doesn't happen all the time... just sometimes.
this also happens to me everytime, especially when im in school so i get really conscious when im talking to people up close bc i could literally tell that they can see that bad texture 😭😭😭
i know why this happens. its because of using dry beauty blender. coz its porous and tends to absorb things. we wet it so that it can no longer absorb any thing
Same with me, it happens if my blender is too dry or too wet! 😩
@@nikitakumari4953not always. It’s happened to me using my wet (damp) beauty blender 😩

Thank you for this, Robert. I have given up on liquid foundation at this point because no matter how I prep my skin or what i use to apply, it just does not lay nicely. I always use mineral powder foundation. I will try liquid again, using really tiny amounts at a time! 🖤
Yesssss!! My pleasure!
An absolute HUGE Thanks Robert 💜 You answered my non waterproof mascara (from latest Live Q&A) and no longer look like a raccoon! Love & Blessings from 🇺🇸
Omg amazing!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I had the exact same problem and I was also saved by Robert's tips! Every time I catch myself in a mirror raccoon-less, I am so thankful! 😂💜
Oh, I missed that video - what is the tip?
The best beauty blender I’ve found so far is the Kiko one - it has a slight silicone feel to it but puffs up nicely and blends the foundation beautifully! But I do agree that it needs to be wrung out fully
I use my fingers to apply and blend my foundation. It has never failed me. I use a flat sponge to even it out on my nose and the corner of my eye. To me its more sanitary any way. And yes I wash my hands before I apply foundation.
It took me a long time to realize I was over-prepping my skin with skincare. I’m not one to use too much of any given skincare product, but my face has generally been dry, so I love the feel of thicker, heavier products. But these don’t do well with foundation. My makeup went on so much better when I just cleansed my skin and applied a runny, slightly creamy serum. I thought it was crazy when I tried it, but it works beautifully! I was just making all the wrong assumptions about what my skin should need under makeup.
Any tips on how to fix “smile lines” or creases around the mouth? I think I watched from one of your react videos about using eye primer but I couldn’t find it to be sure
Yea! Eye primer that is your skin tone and use that in the area instead of foundation, don’t go over it with foundation. It will of course eventually crease, makeup can’t stop our skin moving unfortunately!
Glad to see you in bluish eye shadow , although I have vampire white skin Ash blonde hair and blue eyes , browns purples etc plus same in eyeliner or black make me look like I've been punched in the eyes , I have cool undertones and realy want to see more cool colours on eyemake up
YES! I have really been leaning into the less is more with products lately and not always using a dedicated primer. I've been much happier and my skin looks more like skin and less like skin covered in makeup.
I was just gonna comment about mineral powder and you touched on it 😂 Your the bomb ❤ I'm of the older age group and tried hiding away from powder foundation until I did try mineral and a dewy setting spray absolutely a game changer for me ! The setting spray just alters the look completely. Love it !
Had this exact problem yesterday and today so happy you posted it. Thank you as always.
You are a JOY to watch! This is a 57 year old woman who loves your ideas!
I found using a brush first stamping it in and then a sponge not damp. And I use my face spf for primer most days. You are my favorite u always are teaching ❤
Yessss amazing advice! 🖤
That blue shadow with alll the dark going on is MAGNIFICENT!!! I have similar skin and hair tones and i never did blue. I will now. Im still hooked on berries. They liggt me up!
Excellent video thank you!! I've never had any problem with patchy application of my liquid foundation, but since we've recently moved to a small town, it seems the 'hard' water is the cause of my patchiness 😅
I’m sticking to my usual that works beautifully. Cosrx mucin 96, cosrx mucin advanced snail peptide eye cream, Topicals serum for dark spots to brighten and Eucerin age defense face sunscreen in 50. Though I do use retinols and alternate with tretinoin. Also what really helps is me shaving my face once a month.
I have very dry skin and I’m new to the makeup world! This has helped tremendously ! The very last part about having patience was really nice because I feel like I’m wasting money trying all these products. I didn’t educate myself first. But on my dry skin I use a vegan skincare oil after my moisturizer. I like the Bobbi brown vitamin c primer moisturizer, that’s my next buy! I need cream primers and limited hydrating powder. Powder helps with my creasing but to combat the dry look after the powders I use a dewy lightweight glow setting spray before and after starting makeup. 😅
Thank you! You save me from buying things I probably don't need to fix this problem!
Thank you so much! Out of the different videos I watched to figure what happened with my foundation (because it went on well the 1st time) you are the person who talked about problems with application. Now I know wring out my beauty blenders with a towel. Perfect! ❤
Thank you so much for this! I never thought that my skincare routine would be the issue. I notice the last few weeks my foundation isn’t holding up over the days as it warms up. My skin probably just doesn’t need the moisture it did in winter so that is likely why. Also maybe the sunscreen and moisturizer is just too much. I’ll experiment a bit .
I've been using sunscreen in place of moisturizer when I wear makeup. I use Korean sunscreens - Beauty of Joseon & Purito mostly. They're packed with moisturizing ingredients. 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I am someone who thinks really literally and you gave such a wonderfully thorough breakdown, excited to put your tips into practice!
3:10 some people also use their beauty blenders dry and then wash them after and them re-dry makeup has no rules just tips and suggestions so find what works for you even if its not the same tip or suggestion that works for someone else
Thank you Robert, I think I speak for everyone when I say we really do appreciate all the your help 💜
Holy shit that eye look is 🔥🔥🔥
Such great tips!! Since I started cutting back on the amount of skincare products I use before foundation I’ve noticed my makeup looks so much better and stays put way longer! And the beauty blender trick is a MUST.
I have incredibly oily skin! I cleanse my skin, very lightly moisturize, and then apply setting spray BEFORE the rest of my makeup. it's helped a lot, especially with creasing. I also always reccomend powder over liquid for oily skin. I find that if it breaks down during the day, it still maintins a better texture than the liquid foundation
Thank you for all these wonderful tips. I’ve tried everything,for years. And I still insist on Wearing makeup even when it looks horribly lifted. I’ll be trying these things tomorrow!💜💜
Hi Robert, love your videos! Please could you do a video on contouring for different face shapes? I have a heart shaped face and can’t find a good way to contour! Thanks 🥰
Yea! Absolutely
Such fab advice thank you Robert ...my make up game is so much better since I found your channel...i always use a brush now for foundation and it looks so much better! Happy Monday xxxx
Thank you Trudy!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
hey Robert 😊 just wanna say i love seeing you via the internet! you really uplift my mood. feels like we are bffs ❤ have a great week!
Thank you so much!🥹🖤🖤🖤
You have the most soothing and relaxing voice ever 💜 thanks for this incredible helpful tips!! I definitely will be trying some bc I do fight with foundations from time to time. Much love for yor Robert!
My make up used to separate and I was adamant I had oily skin, I barely moisturised because I didn’t want to exacerbate the greasy texture. My friend told me about her friend who had the same problem and a dermatologist said she actually had dry skin and it was oily because she was ‘cleaning’ it too much and stripping it of its natural oils. I stopped with my obsessive need to clean my skin with 100’s of different products and moisturise daily and my skin is so much better and definitely thanks me for it!
Instead of using Setting Sprays, Especially for Dry Skin. You can use Toner. You can also use Toner in replacement of Water with your Beauty Sponge. The ideal of using Toners as a replacement of Setting Sprays or Water is because it has all the natural ingredients & Hydration the Skin needs to rehydrate. Most Dry Skin people always wonder why their makeup is always separating- including myself, is because dry skin & Alcohol products don't cooperate it tends to separate your makeup. Makeup products that contain Alcohol will eventually dry out the skin. For dry skin people, non- alcohol makeup products are your best suggestions, in my opinion and from my experience. I hope this helps. [:
Hey can u suggest a toner !? Can we use rose water ?
@@Jaishr__eeram By all means any Toner without chemical should work and yes rose water toners should work. Matter of fact I use the Thyers Rose Petal Toner and it works wonders. Instead of a Toner, you may also use a Makeup Mist Setting Spray, if you look into the ingredients you will notice those Misting Makeup Spray Bottles do not contain Alcohol. I hope this helped. ☺️
@@majesticsammie1234 thanks a lot! Buddy
@@Jaishr__eeram *alcohol * lol.
But yes you are very welcome 🤗
Tips and tricks are my favorite videos! Thanks Robert!
Hi Robert, ages ago you did an oily skin makeup routine, the dry skin gals would appreciate a dedicated routine!
Yes we would please
Hi Robert. Thank you so much for this video. I'm getting good at eye makeup (not on you level yet but one day hopefully) but I'm finding the base makeup aspect to be tricky. You are such a bright light in the makeup community. Love from South Africa
Thank you for this video Robert!! I occasionally run into this problem, and it’s almost always that I’ve used way too much foundation - applying my foundation sparingly and using my fingers to apply instead of my usual brush or blender usually does the trick for me! 💜💜
I was wondering the best way to prime my skin so I searched your channel and found this video and the one from a few years ago. Both were very helpful.
Robert I just love you and you are still the only person I trust. You always look amazing 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Stacey!! 🖤🖤🖤
i seriously love this man
Thank you so much!!! Your advice has absolutely helped me so much. I’m 40 and my skin is matured so I definitely have this issue . But now I’m very excited to try these techniques ❤
Your makeup is always so nice but can we talk about how great your hair looks ♥️
Robert, I adore your straight talk! ♥️♥️♥️
i owe you my life for this video, my base has never been so good
Awesome video! Happy Monday! I really like your hair like that.
Thank you so much! 🖤🖤
This helps so much! I've developed a spot under my cheekbone that doesn't hold makeup anymore for some reason. I don't wear makeup that often, but I did this past weekend and I was staring at my cheek like WTH??
Oh no! Just a random patch!!???
@@RobertWelsh completely random! Just an open spot in my bronzer. I eventually decided to just wear my hair down and gave up after trying to add just a little more product in that spot lol can't wait to try these tips! Love your videos!
so helpful! I just recently started using cream foundation sticks and love how they look when I first put them on but sometimes get patchy. great tips
You look absooutely beautiful Robert! 💜🖤💜
i get this at the end of the day HOW DO GIRLIES STAY SO GOOD ALL DAYYY
This was helpful! I was always feeling frustrated about the patchniess of my foundation so I never wanted to buy/try anything new
Robert, you are just the best! And that eye makeup…🔥🔥🔥
i’ve been struggling with this for months now. i think it’s too much skincare tbh. but it’s really disheartening. bought so many expensive foundations thinking this will be different and then they all end up the same lol x
I love your personality, Robert! 💜
For me, applying skin tint/any base right after sunscreen messes up the finish and color. I tried waiting for the sunsreen to settle for 20 mins and this technique immensely helped with an airbrushed finish. Hehhe I hope this helps others
Video suggestion: makeup techniques for hot summer (given that it’s increasingly hot in the uk, would be great timing 🥹) for both dry and oily skins. Also, tips on how to remove waterproof mascara easily cause sometimes it doesn’t come off completely even with an oil cleanser 😮💨
That eyeshadow look is phenomenal ❤🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻-Love you Robert!
Are you dumb??? I feel sorry for you as a woman if you need advises from him 😂😂🤪
Have you got any tips to prevent (or help decrease) sunglasses 😎 from disturbing foundation on the nose?
I tried the powder on nose and sunglasses hack I saw on TH-cam but didn't work. I know it's easy to say "don't wear makeup" but it makes me feel confident. 💜
ROBERT, that eye look!😍
I feel so stupid rn 😂 i thought I’d learned almost all the tips and tricks but I literally thought the point of the beauty blender WAS to be wet to make the foundation more dewy 💀😂
This is great! I feel like I always panic and over prep my skin and my foundation breaks apart or pills and gets patchy!
I love you and your brother! You guys are great. Can you make a video about the new Dior blushes?
Hey thank you! I’m personally not going to purchase them just because I hated the pink and orange one so so much 😂
Thank you for these tips. I struggle with cracking on my nose. Although I have a regular skincare routine, my makeup always cracks on my nose. It’s much worse when I wear my glasses, but I’m not sure if that is related or not.
I used to not squeeze by beauty blender on a towel and wondered why my foundation was all messed up. Then I started doing the towel thing and it solved my problem
WHY IS HE SO PRETTY OMG
The mineral powder thing works. I had really bad eczema the other day and was going to see a band (Placebo, yay!), allll around my nose & eyebrows was peeling so I did a gel moisturiser, not much foundation but pulled too hard on my powder lid & spilt tons of powder on my face. I panicked but on looking in the mirror it worked! It did all peel the next day but it worked.
That first tip is pure gold 🥇
I love that you made this video, Robert! I have incredibly oily skin, and for some reason, I'm finding that foundation will sometimes settle into my pores and give that weird white-dotted look on my cheeks by my nose and on my nose. Is it possible to stop it from doing that? It's so frustrating!
I've had this happen too...try using a gentle exfoliation product weekly and dermaplane. As far as the nose, he says its a really stubbron place for makeup, even for him. Maybe skin the foundation on your nose & instead do some Contouring and highlight ? That's what I've started doing, along with a very small amnt of super fine powder that's my skin tone. I use a really small amnt on a small little poof if I don't wanna contour that day and it looks really nice. Hope those tips will maybe help?
@@takeashotgirl9976 Thanks so much! I'll try those tips! I'll let you know how it works!
Thanks for the great tips. And such a fabulous eye look!!!
..... aight i wish i knew about this video before i royally f-ed up my makeup yesterday. thank you for the info! i will not be making the same mistakes again
