i am also the opposite of prude but that was odd to me too. its like those kids on the internet saying "well i was in your mom and she loved it" but by adults that know kids use their products.. plus when a kid says this its already a damn wtf moment..

Love your video! I think the Tampax joke is really gross because it sexualizes a product that really doesn't need to be. There's a lot of shame/taboo behind periods and period products, why try to make it sexual? Especially knowing the kind of stigmatisation there still is around tampons and "virginity", it's absolutely disgusting to think that this kind of communication was approved.
So many cis men try to act like cycles are some dirty shameful thing too 😭 Like definitely not the move from tampax. There are a lot of reasons the tweet was bad
I'm at the age where I no longer need to buy those types of things, ( menopause sucks - I'd rather my period over THAT any day)! I found that "joke" to be gross!

They probably thought of it as a friendly joke, because periods are normal and the products should be normalized. Ive given sanitary products to my friends so many times and theyre trying to make it like a drug deal. Like hun no, its fine. I get the sexual part, but probably find it fine because im 25 and not a parent
@@lindyloohooyea same i find the tweet funny but also see where robert is coming from. like idk a part of me is like it removes the "hush hush" aspect when it comes to menstrual products but i guess it can also sexualize it lol
I'd like to remind people when periods generally start? Like, I got mine at 9. Would you be comfortable with someone saying that about a 9 year old? Because, whether they meant to or not, that's what they did.
That tampax tweet is... Erm. I'm a 28y/o cis woman. As an adult, I find the humour of that tweet really amusing. It'd be hilarious as a joke between friends. BUT it doesn't feel like it's something they as a company should've posted. Like you said - there are children who use their sanitary products and it just feels icky.
Same but I'm 50. Uncomfortable humour like that between my friends and I is common. It's intended to get a rise out everyone *because* it's uncomfortable and we all know each other are not really of that mindset. But a company publicly stating it is completely inappropriate. They're enforcing the erroneous, but sadly common, notion that period+tampon=sex, which is ridiculous and, frankly, disgusting.
i find it kinda gross, like it would be funny if i heard a regular person say it but for a company to make this joke seems really weird, especially when there's still some stigma about using tampons as if it's sexual
I think it would be funny between friends but I can't imagine all the men who saw the tweet and felt validated in their wrong opinion that tampons cause sexual pleasure 😮💨
I’m dying at the fact that people would tag you along side Shane Dawson about a makeup technique…as if Mr. Glossin has an amazing answer compared to an actual professional makeup artist 💀🤣
@@RobertWelshyou always have great video ideas. I love how you make makeup creative in the way where you dont just make looks, but get into the whole world of it. Especially for me who barely knows how to make eyeliner work 😂
I have dry lips, have NEVER had lumps in my lipsticks! Okay, except when I was younger but it was a cheap brand with tiny bumps of oil that had separated in it. Had nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the cheap ass formula not using enough emulsion or not using the right oils to avoid separation during cooling.
This whole video is great, but I really, really appreciate your commentary on the Tampax tweet. I'm not saying others dont consider these things, but I've just never personally heard a cis man speak out loud about taking into consideration the experiences of younger girls getting their periods. It's just really nice to hear❤
Beyond the fact that it’s tacky, My thing about the tampax thing is everyone who has a vagina is sexualized beyond belief… you can’t exist, work, create, speak without your body being considered. So to take a normal function such as having a period and make it about sex is harmful. There are people that still believe that wearing a tampon takes away your virginity or that it’s dirty like can we not further perpetuate that?
Also like... whether they meant to say it or not, they're saying that about kids too. Like, I started my period at 9. My sister at 12. Most people get their periods in their early teens. Tampax actually has an entire line targeted at that audience, with an informational website for them THAT LINKS TO THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. They directly funneled kids and teens to that tweet! So uncomfortable.
So you all are gatekeeping because…. And a person can’t have mild interest in things that come and go because… and people can’t explore industries because… and a person who’s been doing documentary style videos for years can’t make one about makeup because… and they can’t find a sudden interest while researching because…. and they shouldn’t jump on an opportunity because….
@@viviangod_win you tried it Its not gatekeeping, he was a loser hypocrite for shitting on this community and creators being bad while being involved with the MOST EVIL ONE OF THEM ALL lmfao It was a way for him to cop out of the community after scamming gullible people with his fake interest in makeup to buy their mediocre palette of shit and piss colors Please stop playing and be for real
yeah it made me feel sick and i also immediately thought of younger audience and how freaking inappropriate it is. just makes you feel like the brand isn't actually there to care about you if they were so excited to tweet that out. ugh
Oddly, I actually would describe myself as prude, yet I chuckled at that one. Maybe because I just didn't expect that kind of joke from them, it got to me as shock-humor.
I assume these things like tweets and posts have to go through more than one person in a big business but I guess … everyone thought it was going to be a great idea!
@@RobertWelshNaaa, tweets are often ignored by companies, handed off to interns, etc. Even when there is a team behind it, it’s often a 3rd party who manage it all, under the auspices of a specific voice.

It was so hilarious that James Charles wrote in his “apology” tweet regarding Alicia Keys starting a brand, “ that anyone should be able to secure their bag”. I sure that that was her first thought! Never mind that she already had more than she needs. Robert said it the best, this BOY James Charles.
There are a lot of weird people out there who already think tampons are sexual. So for an extremely well known brand to tweet something like that is bizarre.
I can't understand why Tampax would think that Tweet was anything other than gross and weird 😬 and I am not a prude 😅I just don't understand what they were trying to do with it, or why they thought it was funny 😆
Robert you are the best. Not only are you a qualified, talented makeup artist (not just an ' influencer') but you have integrity and standards. You set a good example for people and bring things to light in a very respectful way 💙
Of all people, Shane Dawson giving his thoughts on the "toxic beauty community", given his own past, is so comical. Its as if Perez Hilton walked into my movie club and complained about Lynch's Eraserhead.
Yeah I’m with you on that Tampax tweet. I started my period when I was 10 years old. I didn’t use tampons (still don’t) but many young girls who started pre-teen like I did do use them. It’s just not appropriate. Plus it ties into the implication that periods are inherently sexual. No, they’re a natural biological process that takes place with or without sex. Maybe I’m prudish too but it’s just icky and totally unnecessary. It comes off as “brand trying to be COOL and EDGY” and it’s just not it…
Was around 10 or 11 when i got mine aswell and switched over to tampons pretty early on. Could be a sensory issue but i genuinely cannot stand pads, always hated them so tampons or cups all the way (but to each their own and all). From day one I have never had a single even remotely sexual thought about tampons because they're not sexual! I dont consider myself a prude but 100% agree, its not appropriate considering the whole range of people who may use them.
I started mine at 9. I... can't use tampons, they make me cramp horribly, but like.... whether they thought about it or not, they said that about actual children.
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your videos and really wish that the beauty community had more people like you. Honest and genuine. Thank you for being you.
The gross and twisted MFing irony of JC telling *anyone* what they shouldn't do... Great video, you cover these things so respectfully and pragmatically, I would just get so mad 💜💜
Ive been watching Peter talk about Shane for years. You are exactly right. He pretended. That was a cash grab if there ever was one. Im sure he is still trying to figure out how to do a part 2🤦
The explanation you gave about makeup being an extremely old and timeless industry and an influencers time within it being a small blip… absolute truth. So glad you spelled it out.
I deleted the app from my phone and i never ventured into makeup influencers Twitter and watching this video makes me understand why Bretman Rock left make-up influencing to go into modeling: problematic pepole, shitty brands I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ALL OF THIS EVEN IF I REALLY LIKE MAKEUP
I just got into make up a couple months ago as my youthful glow has dulled now that I’m 41. I LOVED watching James Charles make up hacks and tutorials as I was starting with no experience (just doing eyes and lips and under my eyes) then I came across all his controversy and as I learn more across the board of all sorts of brands (like Youthforia and Too Faced) I have a list of influencers and brands not to buy from. I am LOVING your channel!!!!
James Charles is so delulu. Remember when Netflix worked with Marlena Stell on a documentary about conterfeit makeup and James had a massive tantrum about it because they didnt ask him. Marlena paved the way for influencers like him and owned a makeup company, yet he thought he deserved an interview more than her? Im surpised he can stand upright with that big head of his.
I feel uncomfortable with the tampax tweet because I don't think it's appropriate to sexualise the use of tampons. You can be sexual while on your period but that doesn't mean our sanitary products are sexual
Love this video…. I unfollowed a few the “gurus” they got so big headed and Hollywood.. they forgot where they started and how we got them to that verified check… I will never support JC OR JACLYN. Not just them but others too. I love your humble attitude and your education to us MUAs❤
I appreciated how you brought up the fact that there are young girls who have not become sexually active using tampons, yet the brand decided to sexualize womens monthly cycles. Absolutely unacceptable and really weird!
You do realise why the reason we have periods it's called to fall pregnant with a child and give birth to it jeez you must not know alot about the reason why we have periods
I love how you addressed the Shane Dawson pretending to be interested in the beauty world!! It was so fake and just a cash grab. Like how dare people tag him with you 🙄😒😂 Love your content! Thankyou for being real ❤
Shane Dawson should have never entered the beauty community period. That was ridiculous! Robert…I always appreciate your take on these topics because you are a true professional! You give credit where credit is due and you share your opinion when people are out of line!!! Love it!!
I cant believe Jaclyn is STILL making tiktoks/IG stories about her still using her contaminated lipsticks. So gross. I still cant believe i liked her for so long.
I’m so thrilled that you decided not to insert your opinion on the Tampax tweet. I’ve found that a lot of cis gay men feel it’s their right to discuss AFAB and women’s issues that aren’t in their lane. I expected nothing less from you, of course, you’re absolutely amazing, but I still want to give you the credit you deserve. It was a weird tweet and I think your breakdown of it being sexualized as something that very young people (and also ace people) experience was the wrong direction for them to go in.
Honestly Robert, I live for you when you get into the nitty gritty of the drammmmaaa. I know you dont wanna be tagged in it as a "wreck these people please because we wanna see you throw all the shade" but when you give it to us freely. I liiive Robert. I live. Its like whispering to your friend behind the scenes but you just out hearing airing dirty laundry. I love it. 😂❤
its crazy because theyre mostly all adults who didnt have social media as kids, so there is no excuse for the bare-all behavior. And yet, these adults had the audacity to say whatever on the whole ass internet and its SO out of pocket
The purple lighting in the background is making a shadow on your cheeks that looks like you have highlighter on and your makeup matches looks so pretty ❤❤❤❤
i was honestly shocked by the apology tweet by that boy!! james charles apologizing eloquently was not something i expected to hear in my lifetime. i guess he’s got enough practice with public apologies 😭😭🚩🚩
Hi Robert, I’m 29 and I was getting terrible eye creasing when setting my under eye so after seeing you say you don’t need to set a few times I tried it and it’s been a GAME CHANGER powder under my eyes really aged me so much and my make up sits so much better. I’m warm undertone but I use a cool undertone concealer as a colour corrector and I’m so happy! So thank you! ❤❤❤
Tampax as a brand are just unhinged. Instead if constantly trying to jump on whatever bandwagon is popular, they should focus on telling women how their products make periods marginally less impactful on our daily lives. Not smart ass tweets trying to be clever. This was just icky.
@@Definitely_ElleI miss my cup 😢 I have terrible RA and it got to the point where I couldn’t remove it anymore. I went back to pads/tampons but no other period product will compare
James acts like he's the end-all-be-all of the beauty industry when really he's an admitted creep who built a lot of his career on makeup looks that were more photo manipulation than Maybelline. I probably have makeup I've had in my collection older than his career. Glad to see you're not one to ignore his past Robert!
Didnt he get all pissy about not being interviewed in a documentary about the beauty industry?.. and the person they did feature was a legit influential person who'd been in the industry a while and had way more experience than him? (cant remember who it was)
@@eva1585 yeah it was an episode of a series they did and they had worked with Marlena Stella who had founded Makeup Geek and had been on here since the early days. The entire episode was on counterfeit makeup, not on the "TH-cam makeup community" or any such nonsense, so Marlena was exactly the right person to use as an interview, since she was a brand founder and would have that kind of insider info, wtf would James have to contribute to that? But ofc he thinks he knows more than anyone else and immediately heard Netflix and makeup and felt like he was being excluded and got offended and started insulting her.
@@weirdhousewivesclub Right! Marlena, thank you! I could not for the life of me remember the name or the brand, i just knew it was one of the big ones. Say what you want about Marlena or her brand (cant remember if there were any scandals involving her, just gonna assume people have opinions) but she really does seem like one of the best people to get that perspective from. Like you said, she's BEEN THERE. She's seen the highs and lows of the industry. I can imagine she's likely seen the effects of how counterfeiting can affect brands and had to deal with her products being counterfeited countless times. James, and most of the influencers that came up through youtube and instagram, dont have that experience or insight. Heck, most of them arent even MUAs! So the thought of asking them is just absurd. Maybe if there was a small part on the responsibilities you have, as an influencer, to not promote counterfeits to your audience or if counterfeit makeup is a big thing among beauty influencers. However, that would require them to actually give a shit about said responsibilities or their audience in general which i can give a whole list of names, James' included, that seem incapable of doing so.
I am SO glad you brought up the Tampax tweet. I’m 30, not particularly prude, and that tweet absolutely disgusted me for so many reasons. After purchasing their products for well over a decade, I will never ever give them another dime after that.
@calthegreatest My sis works for a restaurant chain. MULTIPLE people review a tweet before it goes out. It's never just an "intern" you think marketing firms hire loads of interns? Equally you think these companies let interns post random stuff unsupervised? Dude, just don't
Keep sharing Robert!! Find myself totally agreeing with you. Great points esp with JHill and SDawson. They say measure twice cut once- maybe think 3,4 or 5 times and tweet once. Idk. I’ll go back to binge watching your videos. Lol. ❤️
I watch your videos (and those by your brother, James) to learn, but also just because I enjoy your content. Today is a bad day, so watching is also a form a self-care, a little me-time, if you will. I deeply appreciate how - beyond teaching and entertaining us - you also try to be a positive influence on how beauty fans conduct themselves and the online conversation. You're a lovely person, Robert, inside and out. (And I believe I've said so previously, but your new hairstyle looks so wonderful on you, that I just need to mention it again.)
I was transfixed on your eyes while watching. The shadow work is beautiful but it's something else I can't quite put my finger on. As someone with brown eyes who find my color boring, yours are sparkling and I want that for me too ❤.
Is it just me or does everyone else love when Robert gets mad? This is my face most of the time 😠🙄, so it’s very cathartic to hear Robert get frustrated too. 😂❤
I stopped watching and unsubscribed to all my beauty channels bar you and James. The drama was unbelievably childish, mean and unnecessary. I buy makeup that I want to buy. I don't give a toss what anyone says. Do your own thing people and have fun!!! Loved this video Robert. Cheers lovely.🖤

I'd like to remind people when periods generally start? Like, I got mine at 9. Would you be comfortable with someone saying that about a 9 year old? Because, whether they meant to or not, that's what they did.
That tampax tweet is... Erm. I'm a 28y/o cis woman. As an adult, I find the humour of that tweet really amusing. It'd be hilarious as a joke between friends. BUT it doesn't feel like it's something they as a company should've posted. Like you said - there are children who use their sanitary products and it just feels icky.
Yeah, as an adult woman who FINALLY doesn’t have to deal with tampons anymore this is hilarious but my younger self would have been skeeved out.
Same but I'm 50. Uncomfortable humour like that between my friends and I is common. It's intended to get a rise out everyone *because* it's uncomfortable and we all know each other are not really of that mindset.
But a company publicly stating it is completely inappropriate. They're enforcing the erroneous, but sadly common, notion that period+tampon=sex, which is ridiculous and, frankly, disgusting.
i find it kinda gross, like it would be funny if i heard a regular person say it but for a company to make this joke seems really weird, especially when there's still some stigma about using tampons as if it's sexual
I think it would be funny between friends but I can't imagine all the men who saw the tweet and felt validated in their wrong opinion that tampons cause sexual pleasure 😮💨
We already have such an issue with people sexualizing tampons because of how they are used. You're right, it feels inappropriate for a company.
I’m dying at the fact that people would tag you along side Shane Dawson about a makeup technique…as if Mr. Glossin has an amazing answer compared to an actual professional makeup artist 💀🤣
It’s like tagging a professional chef next to an eleventh grade home ec student lol
I was not expecting this vídeo but i already love the idea. Robert knows very well what we love and how to spoiled us. 😂💜
I see you!!!! 😝🖤🖤🖤🖤
@@RobertWelshyou always have great video ideas. I love how you make makeup creative in the way where you dont just make looks, but get into the whole world of it. Especially for me who barely knows how to make eyeliner work 😂
I have dry lips, have NEVER had lumps in my lipsticks!
Okay, except when I was younger but it was a cheap brand with tiny bumps of oil that had separated in it. Had nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the cheap ass formula not using enough emulsion or not using the right oils to avoid separation during cooling.
My lips are insanely dry. Once again, never lumps in my lipstick.
This whole video is great, but I really, really appreciate your commentary on the Tampax tweet. I'm not saying others dont consider these things, but I've just never personally heard a cis man speak out loud about taking into consideration the experiences of younger girls getting their periods. It's just really nice to hear❤
Beyond the fact that it’s tacky, My thing about the tampax thing is everyone who has a vagina is sexualized beyond belief… you can’t exist, work, create, speak without your body being considered. So to take a normal function such as having a period and make it about sex is harmful. There are people that still believe that wearing a tampon takes away your virginity or that it’s dirty like can we not further perpetuate that?
Also like... whether they meant to say it or not, they're saying that about kids too. Like, I started my period at 9. My sister at 12. Most people get their periods in their early teens. Tampax actually has an entire line targeted at that audience, with an informational website for them THAT LINKS TO THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. They directly funneled kids and teens to that tweet! So uncomfortable.
Jaclyn not running away from her mistakes? Nooo never😂🙄
Happy to hear you call out Shane Dawson since he is trying to slither back into the beauty community again
Oh hell no…
So you all are gatekeeping because…. And a person can’t have mild interest in things that come and go because… and people can’t explore industries because… and a person who’s been doing documentary style videos for years can’t make one about makeup because… and they can’t find a sudden interest while researching because…. and they shouldn’t jump on an opportunity because….
@@viviangod_win you tried it
Its not gatekeeping, he was a loser hypocrite for shitting on this community and creators being bad while being involved with the MOST EVIL ONE OF THEM ALL lmfao
It was a way for him to cop out of the community after scamming gullible people with his fake interest in makeup to buy their mediocre palette of shit and piss colors
Please stop playing and be for real
@@viviangod_winwe're not gatekeeping. We're not supporting him because he's disgusting and made very inappropriate comments about kids and animals.
@@viviangod_winjust say you support unchecked capitalism, cash grabs, and overconsumption and go 🙄
Nothing is ever really gone: not emails, text messages, tweets, or posts 🤐. Thanks for another great video Robert 😅👍🏾
I'm definitely not a prude, but i do feel that the Tampax tweet was not appropriate.
Absolutely!! 🖤
yeah it made me feel sick and i also immediately thought of younger audience and how freaking inappropriate it is. just makes you feel like the brand isn't actually there to care about you if they were so excited to tweet that out. ugh
It was definitely icky.
Oddly, I actually would describe myself as prude, yet I chuckled at that one. Maybe because I just didn't expect that kind of joke from them, it got to me as shock-humor.
@@bugsandbrushesI must admit I had a good giggle too.
Everytime someone gets dragged for their tweets I reminded why I don't want or need that platform 😂
Saaaame. 🍻
I love when Robert gets sassy because people are being idiots 😂😂 x
That Tampax tweet is gross, never heard of that one... That Shane Dawson essay was in dire need of paragraphs my god
Get over the society standards of anything will ya it's killing society wake up to yourself
what?@@THEECLECTICHIPPYWITCH
As a trans guy, I just want to say thank you for your language choice when talking about Tampax 😊
Right? It's great!
Tampax was absolutely unhinged for that 😧
I assume these things like tweets and posts have to go through more than one person in a big business but I guess … everyone thought it was going to be a great idea!
@@RobertWelshNaaa, tweets are often ignored by companies, handed off to interns, etc. Even when there is a team behind it, it’s often a 3rd party who manage it all, under the auspices of a specific voice.
@@khillscan confirm, as someone who ran the social media for a national park. After the first few "probationary" posts, I was on my own entirely. I could have said ANYTHING (assuming I wanted to deal with the consequences )
@@savannah115 Yep. I’ve run a couple of accounts. Everyone wants you to be Steak’ums, but no one wants the risk of experimenting to find that perfect voice.
Please please do more like this....I enjoyed it so and needed to smile because I just lost my dog yesterday and I've been away from your site for awhile but loved the horror stories and I want to thank you from the bottom of my crying heart for making me smile and laugh...Keep up the great work...Thanks and God Bless...
Ummm...you're purple eye look is SLAYING. Excellent work, Robert! Looking fabulous as always!
Lol yes, James Charles does act like a gatekeeper of makeup.
I loved this kind of video! And yes, UK influencers are so nice! ❤️
I still can’t get over the audacity of Jaclyn Hill telling someone using her sh*t products it’s their fault because their lips are crusty lmao
It was so hilarious that James Charles wrote in his “apology” tweet regarding Alicia Keys starting a brand, “ that anyone should be able to secure their bag”.
I sure that that was her first thought! Never mind that she already had more than she needs.
Robert said it the best, this BOY James Charles.
There are a lot of weird people out there who already think tampons are sexual. So for an extremely well known brand to tweet something like that is bizarre.
Hello Robert! This is gonna be great since I'm not very kept up on a lot of these things
Thank you! 🖤
I can't understand why Tampax would think that Tweet was anything other than gross and weird 😬 and I am not a prude 😅I just don't understand what they were trying to do with it, or why they thought it was funny 😆
Anything on the Internet is forever 😅 thanks for sharing!
😂🖤🖤
Robert you are the best. Not only are you a qualified, talented makeup artist (not just an ' influencer') but you have integrity and standards. You set a good example for people and bring things to light in a very respectful way 💙
You're the only TH-camr I have ever followed! You're very fair and your topics are creative. I never get bored.
Of all people, Shane Dawson giving his thoughts on the "toxic beauty community", given his own past, is so comical. Its as if Perez Hilton walked into my movie club and complained about Lynch's Eraserhead.
Robert coming with receipts! Love it 😅🖤
😝🖤🖤🖤
Yeah I’m with you on that Tampax tweet. I started my period when I was 10 years old. I didn’t use tampons (still don’t) but many young girls who started pre-teen like I did do use them. It’s just not appropriate.
Plus it ties into the implication that periods are inherently sexual. No, they’re a natural biological process that takes place with or without sex. Maybe I’m prudish too but it’s just icky and totally unnecessary. It comes off as “brand trying to be COOL and EDGY” and it’s just not it…
Was around 10 or 11 when i got mine aswell and switched over to tampons pretty early on. Could be a sensory issue but i genuinely cannot stand pads, always hated them so tampons or cups all the way (but to each their own and all). From day one I have never had a single even remotely sexual thought about tampons because they're not sexual! I dont consider myself a prude but 100% agree, its not appropriate considering the whole range of people who may use them.
I started mine at 9. I... can't use tampons, they make me cramp horribly, but like.... whether they thought about it or not, they said that about actual children.
I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your videos and really wish that the beauty community had more people like you. Honest and genuine. Thank you for being you.
I didn’t know I needed a video like this, but I did. It’s great to see someone who speaks out against the trash some people try to get away with
The gross and twisted MFing irony of JC telling *anyone* what they shouldn't do... Great video, you cover these things so respectfully and pragmatically, I would just get so mad 💜💜
Ive been watching Peter talk about Shane for years. You are exactly right. He pretended. That was a cash grab if there ever was one. Im sure he is still trying to figure out how to do a part 2🤦
The explanation you gave about makeup being an extremely old and timeless industry and an influencers time within it being a small blip… absolute truth. So glad you spelled it out.
I love these videos where Robert just gives us all the tea ☕️
I deleted the app from my phone and i never ventured into makeup influencers Twitter and watching this video makes me understand why Bretman Rock left make-up influencing to go into modeling: problematic pepole, shitty brands I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ALL OF THIS EVEN IF I REALLY LIKE MAKEUP
I just got into make up a couple months ago as my youthful glow has dulled now that I’m 41. I LOVED watching James Charles make up hacks and tutorials as I was starting with no experience (just doing eyes and lips and under my eyes) then I came across all his controversy and as I learn more across the board of all sorts of brands (like Youthforia and Too Faced) I have a list of influencers and brands not to buy from. I am LOVING your channel!!!!
James Charles is so delulu. Remember when Netflix worked with Marlena Stell on a documentary about conterfeit makeup and James had a massive tantrum about it because they didnt ask him. Marlena paved the way for influencers like him and owned a makeup company, yet he thought he deserved an interview more than her? Im surpised he can stand upright with that big head of his.
I totally forgot about that!
Omg things were so simpler back then. So many things have happened since then lol
I feel uncomfortable with the tampax tweet because I don't think it's appropriate to sexualise the use of tampons. You can be sexual while on your period but that doesn't mean our sanitary products are sexual
I love that Alicia keys really sat in our face and told us how makeup ruins perception while wearing makeup very light makeup and no mascara 😭😂
Love this video…. I unfollowed a few the “gurus” they got so big headed and Hollywood.. they forgot where they started and how we got them to that verified check… I will never support JC OR JACLYN. Not just them but others too. I love your humble attitude and your education to us MUAs❤
I appreciated how you brought up the fact that there are young girls who have not become sexually active using tampons, yet the brand decided to sexualize womens monthly cycles. Absolutely unacceptable and really weird!
You do realise why the reason we have periods it's called to fall pregnant with a child and give birth to it jeez you must not know alot about the reason why we have periods
@@THEECLECTICHIPPYWITCHdoesn't make it something sexual
I love how you addressed the Shane Dawson pretending to be interested in the beauty world!! It was so fake and just a cash grab. Like how dare people tag him with you 🙄😒😂
Love your content! Thankyou for being real ❤
Oooh I love these kind of videos! Looking gorgeous Robert the hair is beautiful!!🖤🖤😊
Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
Shane Dawson should have never entered the beauty community period. That was ridiculous! Robert…I always appreciate your take on these topics because you are a true professional! You give credit where credit is due and you share your opinion when people are out of line!!! Love it!!
Finally an influencer not afraid to call out problematic people. This is why i love you Robert non-sense.
Robert that eyeshadow makes your brown eyes pop! They look extra warm and sparkling and beautiful! 😍
I know you’re a make up artist, but Robert - these “drama” style videos are SO GOOD. I also like that I can stick them on while I do things
I cant believe Jaclyn is STILL making tiktoks/IG stories about her still using her contaminated lipsticks. So gross. I still cant believe i liked her for so long.
I’m so thrilled that you decided not to insert your opinion on the Tampax tweet. I’ve found that a lot of cis gay men feel it’s their right to discuss AFAB and women’s issues that aren’t in their lane. I expected nothing less from you, of course, you’re absolutely amazing, but I still want to give you the credit you deserve. It was a weird tweet and I think your breakdown of it being sexualized as something that very young people (and also ace people) experience was the wrong direction for them to go in.
Hi Robert! Common sense is not common, most people should hold their opinions until more information is given to make informed statements.
Every video I watch from you or James I think to myself "that's it? that's way too short."
Honestly Robert, I live for you when you get into the nitty gritty of the drammmmaaa. I know you dont wanna be tagged in it as a "wreck these people please because we wanna see you throw all the shade" but when you give it to us freely. I liiive Robert. I live. Its like whispering to your friend behind the scenes but you just out hearing airing dirty laundry. I love it. 😂❤
its crazy because theyre mostly all adults who didnt have social media as kids, so there is no excuse for the bare-all behavior. And yet, these adults had the audacity to say whatever on the whole ass internet and its SO out of pocket
The purple lighting in the background is making a shadow on your cheeks that looks like you have highlighter on and your makeup matches looks so pretty ❤❤❤❤
I'm so weird. I absolutely love this channel and I rarely wear makeup lol
i was honestly shocked by the apology tweet by that boy!! james charles apologizing eloquently was not something i expected to hear in my lifetime. i guess he’s got enough practice with public apologies 😭😭🚩🚩
Hi Robert, I’m 29 and I was getting terrible eye creasing when setting my under eye so after seeing you say you don’t need to set a few times I tried it and it’s been a GAME CHANGER powder under my eyes really aged me so much and my make up sits so much better. I’m warm undertone but I use a cool undertone concealer as a colour corrector and I’m so happy! So thank you! ❤❤❤
Helloooo Robert!! Have a lovely Sunday!
Hey! And you! 🖤
I love a purple eyeshadow look. Ive noticed some purples don't blend as well. You're gorgeous love 💕🙏
Tampax as a brand are just unhinged. Instead if constantly trying to jump on whatever bandwagon is popular, they should focus on telling women how their products make periods marginally less impactful on our daily lives. Not smart ass tweets trying to be clever. This was just icky.
Tampax tampons are full of chemicals, anyway. I just use cups
@@Definitely_ElleI miss my cup 😢 I have terrible RA and it got to the point where I couldn’t remove it anymore. I went back to pads/tampons but no other period product will compare
James acts like he's the end-all-be-all of the beauty industry when really he's an admitted creep who built a lot of his career on makeup looks that were more photo manipulation than Maybelline. I probably have makeup I've had in my collection older than his career. Glad to see you're not one to ignore his past Robert!
Didnt he get all pissy about not being interviewed in a documentary about the beauty industry?.. and the person they did feature was a legit influential person who'd been in the industry a while and had way more experience than him? (cant remember who it was)
@@eva1585 yeah it was an episode of a series they did and they had worked with Marlena Stella who had founded Makeup Geek and had been on here since the early days. The entire episode was on counterfeit makeup, not on the "TH-cam makeup community" or any such nonsense, so Marlena was exactly the right person to use as an interview, since she was a brand founder and would have that kind of insider info, wtf would James have to contribute to that? But ofc he thinks he knows more than anyone else and immediately heard Netflix and makeup and felt like he was being excluded and got offended and started insulting her.
@@weirdhousewivesclub Right! Marlena, thank you! I could not for the life of me remember the name or the brand, i just knew it was one of the big ones. Say what you want about Marlena or her brand (cant remember if there were any scandals involving her, just gonna assume people have opinions) but she really does seem like one of the best people to get that perspective from. Like you said, she's BEEN THERE. She's seen the highs and lows of the industry. I can imagine she's likely seen the effects of how counterfeiting can affect brands and had to deal with her products being counterfeited countless times. James, and most of the influencers that came up through youtube and instagram, dont have that experience or insight. Heck, most of them arent even MUAs! So the thought of asking them is just absurd. Maybe if there was a small part on the responsibilities you have, as an influencer, to not promote counterfeits to your audience or if counterfeit makeup is a big thing among beauty influencers. However, that would require them to actually give a shit about said responsibilities or their audience in general which i can give a whole list of names, James' included, that seem incapable of doing so.
Yes !!! I have been cleaning out who I support, glad you’re a good one ❤
Same! Made a list in my notes app lol
I am SO glad you brought up the Tampax tweet. I’m 30, not particularly prude, and that tweet absolutely disgusted me for so many reasons. After purchasing their products for well over a decade, I will never ever give them another dime after that.
That's pretty extreme seeing as tweets aren't made by the main company, usually just a single intern
@calthegreatest My sis works for a restaurant chain. MULTIPLE people review a tweet before it goes out. It's never just an "intern" you think marketing firms hire loads of interns? Equally you think these companies let interns post random stuff unsupervised? Dude, just don't
the SASS in this is palpable and I'm LIVING for it!
I know so many have said this before but your hair is such a vibe styled this way 🥰
That Tampax tweet was nasty.
14:45
This is a siiiiick burn. I feel the roast!!
Grab your wine girls, Robert's gonna let 'em have it & I'm here for that. 💜🖤
9:25 "I'll let Shane answer this one." OMG I died 😂
Would you ever do a vid about how you store your makeup? Like how to keep it all manageable organized? ❤
Keep sharing Robert!! Find myself totally agreeing with you. Great points esp with JHill and SDawson. They say measure twice cut once- maybe think 3,4 or 5 times and tweet once. Idk. I’ll go back to binge watching your videos. Lol. ❤️
I watch your videos (and those by your brother, James) to learn, but also just because I enjoy your content. Today is a bad day, so watching is also a form a self-care, a little me-time, if you will. I deeply appreciate how - beyond teaching and entertaining us - you also try to be a positive influence on how beauty fans conduct themselves and the online conversation. You're a lovely person, Robert, inside and out. (And I believe I've said so previously, but your new hairstyle looks so wonderful on you, that I just need to mention it again.)
The truth telling shade is music to my ears, paired with your expressions is just soooo good hehe :)
I was transfixed on your eyes while watching. The shadow work is beautiful but it's something else I can't quite put my finger on. As someone with brown eyes who find my color boring, yours are sparkling and I want that for me too ❤.
When you read the Tampax tweet out loud, I said, "Ewww!!!!!!!!!". They really missed the mark there.
Is it just me or does everyone else love when Robert gets mad? This is my face most of the time 😠🙄, so it’s very cathartic to hear Robert get frustrated too. 😂❤
UFF that purple shadow brings out the most beaultifull brown in your eyes!
Loved it.
: ) Thanks for te content!
I stopped watching and unsubscribed to all my beauty channels bar you and James. The drama was unbelievably childish, mean and unnecessary. I buy makeup that I want to buy. I don't give a toss what anyone says. Do your own thing people and have fun!!! Loved this video Robert. Cheers lovely.🖤
Your reaction to being @‘d in tweets with Shane Dawson had me on the floor. “I’ll let Shane take this one” 😂 you’re too funny
This was very amusing and you’re looking gorgeous btw! 💛✨
"Give a f**k" and the expression on your face. Robert, I am living for that shade you threw! 😂 Well deserved and perfectly understated. Chefs kiss 🤌
Ps. The way I giggled when you said “however this BOY”… in reference to James Lol!!! 😂
