I just love Robert’s random comments during his videos “I think I just heard a bird throw up” 😂
😂 This is incredible
😂😂
I literally laughed out loud 😂
Hilarious 🤣
I literally laughed out loud then came to the comments to see who else enjoyed that😂❤
I would love to see brands showcase their products on older women (50 and up) via photos displayed in Ulta, Sephora, all other cosmetics stores, as well as hair salons. All I see are young girls. They need to cater to all ages. And without filters.
Right? They should represent the age groups that can actually afford their products- which is 30+
I agree. My mom wants to get into makeup a bit more and I’d love to know what brands would work better for her mature skin type. But brands don’t talk about it as much as they could
I hope you see this reply because I work at JCPenney and we revamped our beauty space since Sephora left and there are GREAT products for mature skin. We also use older models on some of our marketing as well! There’s a couple skin care brands that come to mind immediately! Cosrx and prai beauty. We also carry everything from drug store pricing (elf) to high end (mirabella, Kim chi) and there’s some new stuff coming this year that Sephora and ulta carries!
@@juliannamatteis8538 maybe it’s just because I’m in a higher cost of living area, but we have young people come in and drop $$$$ where I work.
Yes!!! I think that’s why so many women, including I, are so afraid of getting older. I’ve seen and heard it everywhere. Mature looking women are beautiful, too.
I’m 73. I don’t let that nonsense bother me. I love leopard print and camouflage. If it’s loooks good I’ll wear it. It’s how you stay young ♥️☮️🖤
absolutely! wear what you like!
Absolutely! Age has nothing to do with it. It's how it looks on you and how it makes you feel.
Absolutely agree! Your red hair is beautiful ❤❤❤
@@ChrystalVanDusseldorp thank you so much 😀!!!
You go girl!
I’ll never stop saying it-I love when Robert loves a product and is so happy and giggles-instant happiness, and it never fails to make me smile!
His laugh just brings a smile to my face, often causing me to giggle with him. 😂
Same but I get excited and want to buy it so it sucks when it's something like MUA Academy that I can't buy in the US 😢 I tried anyway but they won't ship to my address. Oh well, still love to see him hype an affordable brand and I love to see him get sponsorships, I want to support him whenever I can because he gives us HONEST reviews and doesn't try to sell us trash with deception. That's just getting more rare.
@@Hazelmaediaz1375especially when it's him and James, they constantly make each other and themselves laugh and it just brings me happiness even on the worst days.
He's such a sweet guy, his partner is very lucky
Agree! You can always tell when he’s having fun! One of my faves videos is when he uses Bailey Sarian x Melt. Made me truly excited to try something new
I’m a more mature consumer (56) I love bold eyeshadow….brown eyes, purple eyeshadow is my jam!
50 here - I love bold eyeshadow too! Navy glitter, martini makeup, lots of rich oranges and coppers.
Yup bold smokey with a red lip is my jam❤❤(I did the nude lip for a while and my bud asked me you ok?)😂😂😂😂
Have a burgundy eye liner on right now ❤
I love purple eyeshadow and eyeliner. It makes me green eyes stand out a lot
I have hazel eyes and wholeheartedly agree. The purple really brings out the green in my eyes. One of the best pieces of makeup advice I got when I started getting heavily into it was to cold with shadows that contrast your eye color/skin tone the best and find out what pops for you as an individual. So far for me purple and red have been some of the better options for more bold makeup ❤
On your response to the politics opinion: you said supporting someone who kills dogs was a "dramatic example" but I think you prove such a good point. No one in their right mind would support harm of dogs, but they put so many human rights issues in the "oh that's just politics" box. But if you support a brand that funds conversion therapy leading to high suicide rates in LGBTQ youth.....that's a pretty dramatic impact. I just think so many people who have the privilege to ignore "politics" when it's the lives of real people don't know what they are talking about and just want to live in a bubble. Thank you for standing up for those of us who think it matters to see where our money goes.
💯 agree!!
I stopped dying my hair two years ago (now 53) and not only is my hair healthier, but my hair line is filling in with new hair! I love my long grey hair and I’ve never felt more beautiful.
I felt seen. 36 and 2 years dye free and fully grey. I love it
I LOVE long grey hair!
I started going grey at 13 and none of my peers said anything about it (they had way more material to work with) it was always adults in my life being uncomfortable with it. Now at 31, my hair is HELLA grey, I dye it ALL the colors I wasn't allowed to in my teens and I don't have to bleach it and I get so much dimension because of the grey. ❤❤❤
I wish I could stop dying my hair. How did you do it? Did you just let it grow out, and dealt with it? I wonder if I could get gray highlights (like when women would get their hair frosted years ago) to help with the transition. My husband keeps encouraging me to go for it. I am 61 and SO tired of dealing with white roots showing!
I'm lazy with dying mine. I hate doing it but don't know if I truly want to stop yet because I'm still at that weird point of my hair greying. It looks more like skunk stripes
I totally agree and laughed out loud when Robert mentioned the influencers who get over excited over a makeup item that does what it's supposed to lol.
It's actually pretty wild to think about a girl gasping into a camera like, " 😲😲OH MY GOD! this Glossy SUPER Wet Shine Glossy Gloss just made my lips soooo glossy! I'm OBSESSED!"
I genuinely lol-ed :)
2:20 what does a bird sound like when it throws up? lol
I'm WELL over 40, and I do anything and everything with my makeup. "Rules" be damned 🖤🖤🖤
Right on and same! Over 40 and I can rock pink, red and any other colour just as much as the neutrals
YES!!! I’ve been hearing a lot of “don’t wear glitter if you’re over 25”
Baby girl, I will be wearing glitter in my coffin at my viewing! ✨✨✨
Same! I wear whatever I want, clothes and makeup!!
im in love with your eye makeup! forrget the 'rules'! stun!
@@alexfield5634 girl I’m in love with your look in your pfp!! Go head mama
I agree totally about not giving money to brands that are against your own values esp cruelty etc xx
💯 agree
Like the makeup just flirted with me 😂. What a perfect description
I still highlight my brow bone, and it makes me so happy when I see you do it too 🙂
I’ve been highlighting my brow bones since the mid 80s (I’m 50) and I’m not stopping ever 😂
I do it too. I learned makeup in the early 90s.
I always have and always will do this! I'm 41, and I just don't feel right without it.
It keeps your eyes from disappearing.
Brow bone and inner corners. I will never stop.
I work for Clinique, and they are starting to attempt to dip their toes in SOME modern things, concerning color (the quad palette in Going Steady is actually a very pigmented purple eyeshadow palette that took me by surprise)
I talked to my higher up a year or more ago and said we NEEDED to get with the times and make a liquid highlighter and she told me, basically, its not gonna happen. But this year we did it, a primer/hightlighter liquid that isnt half bad (but not super bright, still very natural 😂) and i am proud of us for that 😂
That;s great! As long as you don't discontinue Tenderheart lipstick, I've been wearing it since i was 14 (now 41). 😄
Lol! In the last 6 months I have discovered the Clinique gel tech liner upper waterline without transferring to the bottom...and black honey almost lipstick, have I been living under a rock my whole life?!
Keep nudging them in the right direction, @julsweaver. Clinique remains the one brand I can count on not to upset my skin, and the product formulations are usually lovely.
Another beauty influencer ( ironic) made a statement that I agree with. Those who are easily heavily influenced are lacking in critical thinking skills.
This applies to being easily influenced not just on beauty, clothing but influenced on views, purchases, hobbies, how they talk etc.
This isn't like oh, I have been looking for a certain item so I'm watching vids about it and found one that seems good so I'll try it. But the over almost gullibility of excitement or maybe wanting to fit in because something is popular or going along with everyone else is saying just because that's what you are told vs actually looking into it.
The sad thing is, that describes the kids going to the beauty store all too well. Most of them haven't developed critical thinking to the point of filtering the content they consume. Of course, too many adults never learned how to do that, either. In the US, I blame the pressure to have kids pass standardized tests and not actually learn important things.
I believe that while nothing forcibly compels someone to buy something, it's undeniable that we're so heavily influenced that we often don't realize it anymore.
I hear people say there's nothing wrong with a brand selling a product that "fixes" your insecurities, but I believe they're not seeing the full picture. In a capitalist society, brands profit more when more people buy, so naturally, they'll do whatever it takes to increase sales. That's where advertising comes in. For example, "with this serum, you won't have to worry about wrinkles any longer" implies that wrinkles are something you should worry about.
We're socialized from a young age to worry about our aesthetics, learning what's "ugly" versus "pretty". I'd argue that insecurities based on aesthetics are more common in women because they're often praised for their appearance rather than their actions, taught to be pretty objects for the world, believing it's their purpose.
I believe that trans people, through transitioning, can highlight many differences in how we're treated and how we internalize societal messages. Having experienced aligning with different gender roles and feeling pressure to conform to various ideals, they provide valuable insights.
As a non-binary individual who was socialized to "act, think, and value" masculinity, my insecurities also evolved during my transitioning process. Being perceived as more feminine intensified pressures related to presenting as feminine, particularly concerning aesthetics like aging, skin texture, and delicacy.
Paradoxically, a part of me finds joy in having these insecurities, as if they validate my trans identity, which seems absurd!
I'm pretty sure these brands are targeting the insecurities of women and feminine-presenting individuals.
I also think Americans are just conditioned to be susceptible to advertisements. Throughout their whole life, they are consistently being advertised to, to a degree that you’re spending less time of your life not being advertised to than you are witnissing ads. It’s certainly true for other nationalities as well but the amount of ads Americans view vs the rest of the world is far far larger. Add on top of that their education system being designed to pump out work horses instead of fully realized adults and you’ve got a country full of gullible people that lack critical thinking skills.
“I think I just heard a bird throw up” is the funniest thing I could have never thought I’d hear 💀💀😂😂
About clean makeup, I really understand where people are coming from, but I really can't desire the end of this trend.
I was raised in 'bold glamour'/y2k era, and I've grown into a "Not Like The Other Girls" teenager kind of making fun of who was “too girly” (that included skirts, make up, idk) and around last year I discovered that it was all due to how I've been thought that I wasn't pretty or my face shape wasn't good enough. My body wasn't the right type for skirts, my face wasn't the right tone for the make up trends and my facial structures were too soft and rounded for bold makeup... I guess I kind of hated, not the trends themselves, but the fact that I couldn't be included in them-or at least the idea that I couldn't.
But clean makeup was easy to learn. It was like a kind introduction to show what could fit me not to look glamurous, but like myself. I started to see my face shape as cute, my downturned eyes as lovely and even my thin asf lips lol-through tips and tricks and "hacks", I learned how to feel good about the things I hated before, so that now I feel confident enough to try on new styles and shades and aesthetics-Because I'm already aware of what I am, what I'm not, and what I can look like.
If you've read it until now, thank you for your attention and time LOL God bless y'all
I hate it when influencers say they love a product (99%of the time drugstore) say it’s beater than high end but never use it again and declutter it in their next declutter and keep what they say it was better than.
THANK YOU for spreading awareness about the importance of knowing which politics a brand supports.
There are a couple of companies I've always loved that I'm absolutely boycotting because their politics make me sick.
Politics is in everything we do. Everything we buy. Politics affects EVERYONE'S LIVES.
I wish people would wise up to this fact. It's incredibly naive not to be aware of it.
💜
IMO, it’s not naïveté that drives people to say this about politics, it’s being unhappy to realize brands support causes they don’t. And at least in America, the folks I typically hear saying they wishes brands/companies/sportsball teams/musicians/etc would stay out of politics are conservative folks unhappy that these entities aren’t supporting THEIR politics. 🤷🏼♀️
What brands are you boycotting and why? I want to be more aware ❤
@@khillsI agree, but I think that goes both ways, not just conservatives. When you have a certain belief and a company or person you love supports an opposite opinion, it can feel like betrayal because most people have strong convictions, and when they feel information is false and being spread to a large audience who takes everything to heart, it’s very concerning. It’s such an interesting part of being human.
i think politics should not be pushed in every aspect of our lives. entertainers - entertain. i don’t care what your beliefs are. that’s not why i watch a movie. i watch to be entertained and get away from it all. same with going to watch a ball game/sports. it’s to get away from the daily grind of life.
@cathycasuccio-ec4sw Some people don't want to directly fund a company whose values don't aline with theirs. A company is WAY different to an actor or a sports player.
I get that people are annoyed with rich influencers getting free PR and products, but also business is business and they get paid to promote. It just kinda is how the industry works rn and of course brands are not going to give regular people free products...
I know it's common sense. I'm guessing you have to be very young not to understand that
@@mb-kh2nb Yea, it should be common sense, but I've seen sm people who think brands should send pr to their customers instead of influencers..
I don't think they "deserve it", but it's just simple business. No reason to get so upset about it.
My mom is 57 and she loves glitter and color when doing her eye makeup and it looks absolutely fantastic 🩵
I think the reason that some people complain about brands being involved in politics is not because they are afraid that the brands wouldn't have the same views as them, I think it's because they don't care about important issues that are affecting certain minority groups because it's not affecting them. So they would rather not hear about it than have to admit that A) They don't care about those people and their rights; and B) They will continue to support those brands.
I’m nearing 50 and I’m loving the ColourPop Orchid You Not palette! Those purples make the green of my eyes really pop! ❤
I love that palette!
I’m 51, also have green eyes and mostly go for bold purple, plum and burgundy eyeshadow looks. If you like Orchid, you should also check out the “In a Trance” Colourpop palette. The shimmers aren’t fantastic quality but the mattes in that particular palette are really uniquely flattering for green eyes. I use it together with both the Orchid and the Lilac 9-pan palettes for nice matte gradients then use singles from Indie brands for the shimmer.
@@liquidsand738 thanks for that tip!
@@LunarEleven it’s great 😊
I just bought it. I like it.
Aww are ppl saying they don't like your hair like this? I think it's adorable!
Trixie Mattel's new white and black liner gel pots are on point with the formula. Trixie is innovative and creative. Cheers!
Completely agree. What's especially refreshing about trixie or patrick star is that they can talk at length about their products and explain exactly why their product contains xyz ingredient. In the wider realm of celebrity brands,this is incredibly refreshing
Love Trixie and Kim's makeup. But there's nothing innovative about white liner, white liners been around a long time.
I’m a mature age I wear what I like I’m never going to give up my shimmer and glitter! ♥️
We need some US/UK makeup exchange, wherein you can get brands like Cover Girl in the UK, and we can get brands like MUA Makeup Academy in the US.
the MUA site ships to the US!
@@ChrystalVanDusseldorp, oh there goes my kids' inheritance! (Thank you.)
CVS used to carry MUA. In Florida, at least. No idea why they don’t anymore.
Omg I was just watching the long nails challenge video lol 💗
about to watch it after this hahaha
@@meirin5316 it is hilarious!
@@MoonLightt57 haha oh yeah
Omg I was dying! Watching them pick up the coins
I adore big bold makeup looks! I won't necessarily wear them out and about, but I love doing them for fun 😊
We should talk about politics more as humans, keeping your political stance hidden and only talking to people who have the same political mind set means you learn nothing about the other side. Politics aren’t just about sides or issues or disagreements, they actually shape and affect us, it’s like not talking about what you want for dinner with a group of your family or friends in case someone doesn’t want the pizza you want 🙈
As someone who just turned 40, the only eyeshadows I wear are green, purple and black, occ a hint of pink. 😂😂 With Urban Decay glitter liner.
I do like when influencers get excited about products-in a genuine way of course. I get so excited when I get new makeup and the colors are pretty or it feels so nice. And I love doing bold eyeshadow! I’ve been addicted to color since I was a kid. I had the 96 crayola pack. I flipped through Avon magazine because I loved all the funny names they gave the colors. I have purple and blue braids and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it makes me feel like my authentic self and I get regular compliments on it so some people get the vibe.
Your hair sounds beautiful!! My hair is magenta and my husband's is bright blue. 💗💙💜
@@ChrystalVanDusseldorp thank you! It’s a mix of light and dark blue at the top and fades into purple at the bottom
“I think I just heard a bird throw up”
😂😂😂😂 i couldn’t stop laughing!
Same!
I have a lip balm in my bag, 2 at work, so many at my vanity.... got one on me at all times 😊
I agree with you that I am more diligent with my skincare when I wear makeup. And it usually makes my skin look better
My unpopular opinion: people need to stop saying how much they hate influencers that lie or don't disclose adds etc. If they keep watching them. At the end of the day you choose who you watch and support and there are a lot of great and honest beauty influencers out there
I like this style of video that's kind of a mix of makeup review and commentary ❤
Drag queen makeup may not be "innovative" but it fills a gap between regular and costume makeup.
I was looking for a black gloss and Sephora had nothing (the salesperson tried to sell me a purple gloss as close enough( but Trixie Mattel has a great black gloss. Before, I probably would have gone to a costume makeup formula.
Illamasqua did an Amy Winehouse one, if it’s still available. Some of their stuff is DEEPLY discounted on LookFantastic at the moment
Before MUA launched I teamed up with them to promote them at one of my club nights after a deal with Illamasqua was taking too long (I ran leftfield clubs and knew Mika Doll). Dealing with MUA was absolutey wonderful, a truly lovely brand and i'm so glad things have continued to work for them
As a woman of a certain age, the image I try to cultivate is Disney-Villain-on-her-day-off, which means comfortable clothes and a dramatic eye.
I love a bold eye or bold lip and I am 52. I am loving make up more now than I was in my teens and twenties!
after decades of dying her hair my mom finally embraced her gray hair and she loves it! shes always getting compliments and complementing other ladies with gray hair when she sees them 🥰
Iris is such a legend, icon, inspiration. The documentary on her was phenomenal
I LOVE the Trixie Mattel makeup line and her new black and white Hotline gel eyeliners. 💜
I am with you on carving the eyebrows out, Robert. I don’t always do it but it really does add an extra little something. I’m also totally with you on drugstore products, drugstore is just KILLING IT lately! Especially on base products, which the drugstore was lacking in big time in the past. I have pretty much transitioned to all drugstore products except for a few high end staples that just can’t be duped
I am also MUCH more scrupulous with my skincare when I am wearing makeup, so my skin is better when I am wearing it regularly.
The editing of Robert's videos and his sense of humour always makes me laugh. His videos are so good. 😂❤
I agree with you I am 61 and use the brightest blush Mac make. It just pops and gives me a lovely blush ❤
I will be 56 next month and wear bold colors, glitters and shimmers eyeshadows and get compliments all the time. Wear what makes you happy and dont let others dictate your happiness 😊
Also, wearing makeup everyday has the beneficial knock-on effect of MAKING you cleanse your skin properly and effectively... 😎👍🏽💜💜💜
i wanna share my unpopular opinion: if a brand doesn’t cater to you/ doesn’t change their ways to fit your skin color. it’s not for you. some brands don’t listen to dark skin people to make better shades but if they aren’t willing to listen we should leave them alone
I don't think we should because we've fought so hard for inclusivity and making more options available for people with deeper skin tones. If people stop checking these brands then we're gonna end up the way things were before, when we could count the number of brands making deep shades on one hand.
Maybe, but I don't want you to have less choice than I do. If we're at a place where there's heaps of choice for you and your skin tone and there's heaps of choice for me and my skin tone, then we can ignore brands that aren't for us. Until you have plenty of choice, I'd like there to be fuss about mainstream brands in drugstores and beautu retailers and department stores that are too lazy and racist to even try.
Why make it easy for them to be r@cist
I am with you on this. If you have been around since forever and now jumping on getting foundation for my color just now!? I am not not buying you. I miss Iman brand and a petty Black Opal faded away
Agreed. Money talks to these brands. No reason to support a brand that isn’t inclusive.
I have gray hair and wrinkles and I look great!
I'm 65 and I love wearing makeup. Some days I wear a tinted sunscreen, mascara and lip gloss and on special days like when I'm going to a restaurant or family get together I will wear a full face of makeup. It's an individual thing.
"If you're truly into makeup, then makeup Is Exciting" yesssss!🎉🎉🎉🎉 you have just ended the slightly embarrassing feeling I get when sharing being excited over something a lot of people make me feel is silly, unimportant, or vain.
Beauty influencers need to take note of how you & James do sponsored content. Very professional, open & honest❤
Thank you Robert😊
You squeal when you really, really like something, and it's so cute
Omg that eye look! That green! Perfect for St. Pat's
I wish not doing a full face of makeup was more normalized. Foundation is a pain for me because my skin tone will be different from what it is now depending on how much sun I get so in a few months the foundation I bought will be useless. Ofc I just dont wear foundation, but it would be cool to see people online doing an eye look and a swipe of lipstick and call it a day.
I declare when I go grey, I will be called a silver vixen 😁👩🦳🦊
I'm VERY PALE, cool olive tone (yes we exist, I am blue green) and I can't make full coverage lilsticks work. Always too orange or purple, no matter the shade. So I stick with sheer (or sheering out) lipstick or tinted lipbalm.
I’m a cool olive tone as well! Didn’t realize it was kinda rare. I have green eyes
@@SimplyCheryl I have blue green eyes and medium red hair. I agree that it's rare and color theory has become my friend, lol.
I am a pale olive too! And I have such a hard time with makeup all around! It’s all too orange or too pink or too yellow.
You may already know about her, but Hannah Louise Poston is a very pale, neutral leaning cool olive. She has some excellent suggestions for desaturated tones. My complexion is medium olive, but I've found some of her recommendations even work for me since things tend to lean very yellow, red, or orange on my skin tone as well.
I love your expertise and your fabulous personality. As a professional MUA, I tell my private clients who come to me for consultation and guidance that wearing a foundation or tinted moisturizer is beneficial because it protects the skin from the environment. Start with a prepared face, apply and at night when you wash it off, the skin beneath has been shielded all day. People who do not wear foundation are doing themselves a disservice.
Robert's description of how he reacts when he really likes something is epic!!! It feels like the makeup is flirting with me!!! That statement made my day! 💜💜💜
Happy Sunday, Robert! I have a birthday celebration to go to, but I’m coming back!! 💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤
Thank you Stacey!!! 🖤🖤
Ooooh happy birthday beautiful!!!
@@ARareAndDifferentTune_13It’s a celebration for a friend, but I will pass on your good wishes ☺️
I’m loving tinted lip balms, my handbag is full of them.
Those who are jealous of influencers getting free stuff clearly do not understand the amount of work it takes to be an influencer who has enough followers to warrant free packages. There is content mapping, scheduling, recording, editing…hours and hours of work with a constant pressure to keep followers interested. It’s a full time job and let’s not even talk about the amount of hate and stupidity they have to deal with in comments and messages! Nah…you deserve every free package you get and there is NO way I’d trade!!
That's what I said to my daughter who said she wanted to be a TH-camr and I said, cool, but please consider you have to do x, y , z if you want to be successful and she was like 😮
Bobby Brown is guilty of the no bold colors for mature people thing! In fact, Bobby Brown is probably the most guilty.
But that's always been Bobbi Brown's aesthetic (I'm talking about the woman, not her original brand of makeup, although that too). She got her start in NYC in the 1980s evangelizing nude, natural looks amidst a glittering sea of neon. She left Bobbi Brown Cosmetics almost a decade ago, and it's still clearly part of that brand's DNA. Now she has built it into Jones Road. Bobbi Brown has never been about bold looks. "Your skin but better" might be IT Cosmetics motto, but it's been Bobbi Brown's raison d'etre. Her vision has been exceedingly consistent over four decades.
Thank you for your honest and insightful input. You never fail to hit the mark with your thoughtful opinions about gender-based expectations and always consider viewpoints other than those you've personally experienced! ❤ You're a treasure! 🪙
I love that you said its okay to disagree with political opinions. It is also just as important to know who youre supporting and if its in line with your morals
I'm 59 and when I was growing up and first using makeup, it was just makeup, not "drugstore" makeup. These were just what everyone wore - Maybelline, Revlon, Cover Girl, etc. If you had to go to the mall, to the department store, to find it, it was not considered regular people makeup, it was some exotic high end stuff, you know? (Your experience may have been different if you were wealthier). The only time I ever spent stupid money on cosmetics was in the 80s when Clinique came along and after a couple of years of that I realized what a ripoff it was. I went back to normal everyday brands that have stood the test of time and have never looked back. I absolutely will not fall for the flavor of the moment brands, regardless of who is behind them or talking them up. Will I buy and try super affordable products on a whim? You bet I will :-)
I agree with you so much. Also, Robert, the way you think about brands and politics, is the way I feel about supporting influencers, or not. People love to say how much they hate this person or that person, but they still watch the videos about them and the drama. If you really don’t like them or their behavior, don’t give them the attention. If you give them attention, you are giving them money and power.
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Only you are in charge of your feelings, so if someone makes you not like yourself, then take control of your feelings. Believe me, I know it's hard, especially as we age. But that's the only way.
I haven’t been a lipstick fan in 20 plus years, so give me all the tinted lip balms, and yes, I also have a Stanley mug. Best purchase ever.😂
Same here. 🙈 I recently bought a bright red liquid lipstik and it looks amazing with my pale skin. 🙈 Maybe I put it on in public one day. 😂
I used to swear by liquid lipsticks and had several shades. Wore them pretty much every day. Now I've reached a point where all I want on my lips is either a lip balm, lip oil or a lip gloss (if it's comfortable and not sticky). I hate my lips feeling dry. Our preferences change! Lol
I'm 55 and HATE neutrals. I'm constantly getting compliments on my makeup. I really wish they would stop telling people that their makeup needs to be age appropriate
My aunts' hair went white as opposed to gray and I have always secretly hoped mine would do the same!
I'm 35 and I swear that I'm the only mom at my kids' school that wears bold and shimmer eyeshadows, so I think sadly it starts even younger than you might think!
I think a lot of the irritation about influencers getting PR stems from the fact that some influencers act very braggy and snotty about it. They act like it is a huge status symbol for them to be gifted those products and it's almost like they're trying to get you to envy them enough that you will go out and buy the product. Not all influencers, obviously, but some of them act a little bit like mean girls about these products, especially when they are luxury items. They swoon and say how OBSESSED they are and how all of us should RUN out and get them but in the back of your mind you're wondering if you can trust the review, especially when a month later they are talking about all their favorite products from the last month and they don't even mention the product they were telling us we needed. Before I got savvy and found the beauty influencers I like, I was influenced by these gushing reviews of PR products. Kind of like with sponsorships. You learn who is promoting a product because they genuinely like it versus getting paid to endorse it.
I’m in marketing, and here’s my hot take: Influencer marketing is the new word-of-mouth marketing. Before “influencing” became a career, we would ask our friend with nice skin what products she would use or read through magazine articles for what our pop idols were talking about. It’s not new-it’s just changed!
your giggles are so cute!
I have a couple of the mini MUA pallettes, but the big one you used is gorgeous. And they're so affordable! ❤
Those Singe Beauty brushes are so nice and stand out from other brushes so well, I need to get those in my collection.
Thank you SO much for continuing to show us the more affordable brands that you love.... I'll definitely be going to check the eyeshadow palettes out..... and every one of those lip balms! 😍
unpopular opinion: we should stop trying to make universally flattering a thing because it can’t. there are ways for people to manipulate products for them to work better for them but realistically a brand should try to create products that attempt to create the same look on different shade levels by adjusting the amount of white pigments, the saturation, and accounting for differences in color.
I'm 60, and I love makeup and bold colors! I can wear brighter, bolder colors without them looking "crazy," but I love neutrals so much as well! Since the pandemic, I've been working from home, and plan to do so indefinitely. This has given me the opportunity to up my skincare routine, and my skin looks absolutely great, especially for my age! I don't wear makeup most days, but I do wear a nice serum and skincare creams; they can really make a difference!
Women today don't look their age, but regardless, I think you should wear whatever makes you feel good and confident and happy!
I really enjoy some of the makeup tutorials, like Robert's, with great ideas on products and eye shadow looks, etc., and that you can literally order anything you want online.
I'm having a hard time with the "10-year-olds in Sephora" and recording TikTok videos at that age. I feel like they should be focusing on other things, like getting an education, socializing in person with friends and doing things "off line." I think this whole TikTok/Instagram culture is just crazy - it's too much, and I'm worried about them (as us as a society), going forward. I don't think this is healthy. Some amount of screentime, etc is fine - but like with anything else, excessive use and obsessive attention to one's appearance and the need for "likes" and "followers," and the excessive buying of cosmetics/skincare at such a very young age is just disturbing to me.
Love Iris Apfel, btw...
First two names that came to mind with the over excited expressions: Mikaela (is that how you write her name?) & Nikkie.
Mikaela is the worst! 🙄
@@grannym2880 she is quite dramatic, yes
Yes bith are very dramatic, but I’m more likely to believe Nikki over Mikayla. Used to like Mikayla so much but she definitely isn’t trustworthy like I thought
I'll take your word for it bc I don't think I can name literally any other beauty influencers 😂😂
Mikaeyla is fine. At least she's not taking sponsor spots from SheGlam🙄
Thank you for sharing another awesome low coverage lip product! (I kind of sound like a bot now....) But seriously, knowing what the texture is like and how the colors look is so helpful. Especially because you don't sugar coat or pull punches, even on ads
I'd love to see more videos like this, i love the discussion. Its so refreshing and a good way to open your mind and to start thinking about it differently instead of being fed products and ads.
I love it, thank you Robert ❤
I love when you find something that you absolutely love something !!!! It’s the cutest lil chuckle ! 7:41
I love MUA! I’m so happy they are having their moment ☺️
I love when you try a product you love .. example.. you reaction to the watermelon gloss so awesome. Your genuine love and reactions to a product you love 😘💘
I love your bangs.
Referring to “skin breathing” is a pet peeve of mine. Skin doesn’t breathe. It is an organ, but that doesn’t mean it’s part of your respiratory system. If you’re cleansing your face daily and don’t have any derm reactions to your products, is there really any harm to daily makeup wear? And no one talks about giving the face a rest from lotion or sunblock so it can “breathe”!
i tried 4 of the eye & lip liners of mua makeup academy and they are really good, also they are cruelty free :D
I am still patiently waiting on you to put out a proper mascara that has the ideal brush and doesn't cost a mint!
Wouldn't that be lovely? In the meantime, one of my favorite tips from Robert: if you have a mascara you love, but it's too pricey to buy all the time, when that mascara runs out, save the wand, wash it off, and use it with your more affordable mascaras. The wand really can make a difference.
Its fantastic to see such great products that are affordable. I gotta check this brand out.
The excitement I get when you upload is ridiculous! Hope you have had a nice weekend! Give the pups some love from me❤
I love watching your new makeup videos. Gives me inspiration for the next look. You're right. I don't like overpowering lip color either. I've been trying new ones to give them a fair chance. I'm always doing the bleeding lip because of you lol. Thanks Robert! ☺️
I have silver and white hair. I call it the silver, my natural glitter locks. Women comment on my hair all the time, saying they wish I could do it. I wish grey was embraced on women it can be gorgeous! I still do fun things with my hair. Occasionally, I will get highlights of purple or teal. Mostly, I keep it natural. My personal view on makeup is a fun way to accent. When I was younger, my view was to cover what I viewed as flawed.
Love seeing you use Singe beauty ❤! Angelica Nquvist is great
Absolutely love your channel. Always so classy and informative
I don't understand why people think influencers or content creators should have to buy everything. They're spending money on making free content for you. Getting the products for free means they can keep making free content for you... what are you complaining about?? It just sounds like childish jealousy to me.
Unpopular opinion : the more I spend on makeup and skincare (mostly skincare lately) the uglier I feel because the more flaws I notice 🥲
It sucks because I really do enjoy these things!!!
You look absolutely stunning. Love the markup and the lipgloss is gorgeous. You have a great channel and your views of everything is Top notch.
