    As a culinary graduate that “cooking has no rules” made me cackle a little because my former culinary professors would beg to differ. Cooking and baking is a science as much as it is an art form. It’s similar to makeup in many ways. You learn the rules so you can learn how to break them in ways that are creative.

    Just as someone who is a fine artist, there’s no “rules” in creativity, but there is a set of general practices that are rules in fine art. I.e. you can paint oils over acrylics, but not acrylics on top of oils. Perhaps “the art of makeup” doesn’t have limitations but you have to know what to do with the materials to access your creativity in makeup first before you start!

      I had to look up why acrylic over oil is a no-no, and it’s because the acrylic will flake right off, apparently-which is a good example of a rule that exists to literally keep your art from being ruined!! There are absolutely rules like that in makeup too, makeup theory doesn’t exist to stifle creativity, but to tell us how to use the tools we are given to create bomb-ass looks. It’s built on chemistry, biology, psychology-things we can’t change and must learn to work with.

    Love what you say about makeup theory. I do watercolour painting. Lots of people hate painting with watercolour bc they only remember the paints they used as kids and never learned how to use it properly.
    If you don’t know the “rules” to watercolour painting, you make a muddy mess. I had to learn about colour mixing, water control and proper techniques to improve as a painter. So many people say “art has no rules! Do what you want!” but learning the rules helps sooo much.
    Plus, once you learn a rule, if you decide you don’t like it and it doesn’t work for you, you can break the rule! It does you no harm to learn about it in the end.

    I really love the analogy to cooking chicken, because it reminds me of an Indonesian guy who was teaching me to make satay. He mentioned how most of the Westerners he teaches hate dry chicken, but to him it wasn't that much of a big deal. Preference varies with culture - just like whether you care about your chicken being dry, you might not mind your face looking round; but it's important to know that cooking chicken for a long time will make it dry, just like your blush position will change the shape of your face.

      Yeah I think people don't realize that the more feathery, minimal application IS the technique. The shape of where you put it is, in my humblest of opinions, less important than knowing how much goo you need on your face-flesh. If you put too much goo on the flesh it doesn't matter where you put it or what shape it's in, it's too much goo.

    What I saw happen was that people would use the two spots of concealer method but they were smearing WAY too much product on those two areas right off the concealer wand. The whole point of your technique was to use LESS product. If you still use too much product on your eye it doesn't matter where you put it.

Baking more so because of the chemistry of how things work together to make a delicious product. I have you to thank about using eye cream before applying concealer.

    Your concealer technique literally changed how I use makeup. I thought I couldn't use concealer under my eyes at all, and now I at least feel comfortable using it for special occasions (still too lazy day to day, but that's a different story). The amount she uses is better for me, and I think I'll have to try applying it with a brush rather than the applicator, but your technique itself is still solid (and immeasurably better than the dreaded triangle).

      When I saw "dos and don'ts" for over 40 I was expecting nonsense. Usually it's a 20-something telling me what I became too old to do the day I rolled over the hill. That video was actually helpful, and I never would have clicked it if not for Robert. It was more of a "do better" than any "don'ts".
      I'll use the contouring trick for sure. I have really pronounced high cheekbones and very little subcutaneous fat so I look too sharp and old when I darken the hollows.

    This was brilliant as always! The best takeaway from the better tik toks was learn to use products in the best way possible and then be aware of your own facial structure and how to place makeup on your personal canvas. That first lady with the tips for over 40s was useful for any age with similar features. I'm in my 30s and my top lip is down turned and always has been, no one would notice as I'm always smiling and hardly ever use lip liner, but certainly something to think about if and when I do use lip liner.

  • @whatsup968

    To me the word "theory" is that if you do x, then you will have y outcome
    And "rules" are saying what you can/should or can't/shouldn't do
    It kinda comes down to semantics a bit with the misunderstanding. Using the words "rules" and "theory" to refer to the same thing is confusing for people who see the words quite distinctly and requires a form of translation
    To me personally:
    Makeup THEORY is that orange eyeshadow makes my blue eyes look brighter/more blue, and blue eyeshadow does not make my eyes look brighter. This can be useful information, especially in a more professional context which makeup artists like Robert exist in
    Makeup RULES are that bc I have blue eyes, I HAVE to wear orangey/brown eyeshadow and I CANNOT wear blue. This is unnecessarilly limiting and does not allow the individuality and creativity that Robert and his viewers value
    Like if I want to honor Chrissy from Stranger Things with blue eyeshadow I'm gonna do it! In that case my eye makeup is not intended to make me look more attractive by current standards of beauty, but to reference a character/a tv show and express myself!
    Or to say that contouring a certain way makes your wide face look wider so you "shouldn't" do that, or having your hair cut a certain way makes your square jaw look more square so you "shouldn't" do that...
    All unnecessary
    Many people will find that information helpful, but for some maybe it's because they WANT to emphasize their wide face or they WANT to emphasize their square jaw
    Using neutral language when explaining theories in makeup, fashion, hairstyling, etc would solve most of the broader problem imo
    This might be a big ask because it requires a rethink of our vocabularies and how we communicate ideas, but I think it would be a great improvement in terms of viewing makeup and related fields as artistic avenues for self-expression, which is what they are at their best (again imho as a more casual user of makeup)
    Even art like music and painting has theory behind it! And those theories are useful to see what you can play around with. Many incredible creative minds broke what we thought of as "rules" while using theory
    I think when that commenter said "rules" they were actually on the same page as Robert, they just had different connotations for the words "theory" and "rule"

    The thing with the 'lifting face concealer' trick is that it just exaggerates the lines. Especially lines in the outer cornor of your eyes. Putting concealer directly there just adds to the appearance of wrinkles near the eyes
