Listening to Robert talk shit is my secret guilty pleasure.
Same
I don’t feel guilty about it 😂
You live a wholesome life
@@stealthis try is all a person can do lmao
@@amycoen lol I say guilty bc I know there were a lot of times where he’s trying not to talk shit or trying hard to word things nicely. It’s great when he really lets loose.
Sundays = Twin and individual channel content = LOVE IT
🙏🏻🖤🖤🖤
Same 😊. And for me these videos come at the end of a long working day which makes them even more special.
Definitely my favorite TH-cam day!!!! My favorite twins!
@@BarbaraT.same !!!
i'm commenting to assist with the algorithm but also because i need to tell someone what i bought today!! i've started to collect tamagotchi's since they're rereleasing tamagotchi connections soon, but today i found 2 vintage tamagotchi connections (v3 & v4.5) at a pawn shop for an insanely good price and i'm on cloud 9 lmao that's all, thank you for coming to my ted talk!!!
also also, my sister still to this day uses hairspray as a setting spray and swears by it......... the icon that she is lmao
OMG!!!! you don’t know how excited this makes me! I have always wanted an original tamagotchi… in the clear plastic casing. A boy in my school, when to Japan to see his family and came back with this see through orange tamagotchi before they were available in the UK and I was instantly obsessed!!
@@RobertWelsh omg!! i'm sure you'd be able to find the same one no problem for resale online, BUUUT they're also doing a rerelease of the original tamagotchi's and there's an option of a white shell with sparkles in it if you feel like giving yourself a little tamatreat!!!
Congrats! 🎉
Best comment I have read all week. I loved it and I’m happy you found a place to leave this comment. Also does you sis really use hairspray on her FACE?
@@TheRavenShimI had a beige Tamagotchi with leopard print when they very first came out. I have been wanting to get one again now for years!! I love that you are doing this!!!!
So I compared the ingredients of that setting mist to L'Oreal's Elnett. All the hair spray ingredients are also in the setting spray except the hydrofluorocarbon. It's definitely hair spray.
Jesus Christ, that’s terrifying
😮
Hydrofluorocarbon- PFOA/PFOS are toxic as hell. Idk how we are still allowing this in products. If you haven't, watch "Dark Waters" 2019 and do your research from the points made in the movie. One of the best non documentary movies I've seen that actually give good information. Dupont poisoned the world, also the name of a good documentary.
Just adding that formulation matters, even if the ingredients are similar
Oh I see my comment about D* P*unt and P*f*o*a and p(f(o(s got deleted- bug surprise. No curse words, simple statement of publicly known information- gets deleted. Hydroflourcarbons are DeD LY. Let's see if comment #2 stays. 06/26/24@1152an EST
L’Oréal owns Elnett haha.Now you know what they’ve done with the unsold hairspray 😂
They did use polymers in it I've only ever seen in hair sprays before.
I’m a simple woman. I see Robert, I press like before he starts speaking
Me too!
I hear Robert say “Listen” and you know I’m leaning in 👂👂
the way you said 'disgusting' whilst speaking about loirel was so fierce
The Pixy blush pushed me over the edge the lack of pigment shocked me considering how much people were raving about it
It might be an unpopular opinion, but I hate when people recommend stuff like this. It's one thing to mention it as good for subtle makeup. But sometimes these super sheer products can't be built up and won't show up on darker skin. Also the lack of pigment for high prices is ridiculous.
I have the blush and when I put it on it looks super pigmented but 5 minutes later it’s gone!
I do love low pigment blushes as face powders, but they can be hard to identify b/c so many companies really do overhype the saturation. Very few come out and say that they are extra light coverage & won't show up. A lot of companies pay lip service to shade diversity but have become real subtle assholes about it. By the numbers, pale people with typically Caucasian undertones are losing "market share" rapidly. If I were a large brand, I'd be eyeing the increasing diversity of disposable income & selling selling selling. Anytime someone is racist is a way that is also financially limiting, I know they've got an institutional or personal problem. No amount of fussing is going to make white people, esp us paler than tan - a majority of consumers with money to spend. The US will be majority POC in like 30 years, that's a long time for individual people, but not a long time to reset complexion products for the new market. And most big brands sell overseas too, I believe that the majority of people who can afford makeup are not pale. And remember, fair is for justice & carnival food, never people. The word for skin means exactly what you're worried it does. It's factually untrue, and it's been used in a gross way recently enough that it still carries harm. If you see it in labeling, tell the brand why you can't buy from them. Pale is not an insult, that's something white people say to pretend a little criticism of their appearance is anything like experiencing categorical bigotry.
@@montananerd8244what? 😆
Ok so if im jot fair or pale(im always the lightest or 2nd lightest shade in 90% of brands. Im fair and olive toned, which is pretty impossible to find- so income the mixong pigments. I didnt wear foundation for a majority of my life becsuse of this. I dont fond being called fair skinned or pale an insult, its just a descriptor to find my shade. Im confused by your statement, but trying to understand- not attacking. TIA for the explanation. @@montananerd8244
Your description of the L'Oréal smell takes me back to my Aquanet/Maybelline Kissing Potion/Love's Babysoft days. 😂
God, I'm old...
It made my airways close in self defense! Add the ammonia stink of a fresh top only perm 😂 IYKYK
I haven't smell or seen that "hairspray" but I can feel that it will trigger my asthma 😂
Right? It must be so bad to breathe that in!
@@yvettebasson1243 True! We'll probably sneeze non stop. 🤧
I sprayed it in my car😭 worst mistake
@@dbz7john1oof!
I believe in setting sprays. But, it was 96 and over 90% humidity last weekend, and even the aerosol spray everyone swore was “waterproof” couldn’t even save me. Yes, the One Size. I had drips of rainbow eyeshadow running down my face. We all melted at Pride!
I have found that with the heat and humidity, the One Sized doesn't work for me either. I found an INCREDIBLE alternative for $9. It's the LA Girl Oil Control Multi Tasking Spray. I was at a boat regatta, 95 degrees and humid af. Even though I was sweating like crazy, my makeup stayed perfectly!! ❤
Personally I use matte setting sprays for the heat/ humidity and I use the dewy settings sprays in colder/ dryer months. The matte setting spray does help in the heat in my opinion, but I mean when you’re outside in the middle of it all I don’t really think anything besides wearing the bare minimum makeup helps. My face sweats a lot though in the heat ☹️ some people hardly sweat at all. Lucky them 😅
I hate Influencer culture so MUCH!!! I refuse to buy anything from an ad... I turn to those who have actually used the product. I buy from small businesses (as a small business owner myself), or I might buy a product out in the wild if I'm in need of something. Too many people faking results all over the place. I'm so glad I'm not a very young girl in today's society, with how confusing and toxic influencer culture is... all the lies. Companies need to be held accountable for all the fakery they put out regarding their products, it's only about money to them and not customer satisfaction and safety. I appreciate the de-influencing, Robert and James!!
Can we all agree that Robert and James are the absolute best?! No "BS", tells it like it is and makes us laugh till it hurts! ❤
I would be very careful with that L’Oréal setting spray. I’m sure it can cause lung issues. It definitely looks like lacquer from the olden days at the ‘beauty parlor’. Especially on a Friday or Saturday the air was thick with it like a fog. This was all great info Robert thank you so much ♥️☮️🖤
It’s has that hair spray feel! I agree ! It can’t be too good for your lungs!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
I've been using actual hairspray as setting spray for years 😂 it saw my heavy smoky eye through a whole day and night sweaty rave. Didn't feel great on my face though!
@@KateTolhurst please be careful inhaling it 🎈
Back in the day, theatrical makeup would be set by Pro MUAs using essentially just pure hairspray to keep everything from budging but that was because it was for the stage and makeup was hardly that advanced back in the mid-1900s and those surrounding years.
Honestly, I still use certain hairsprays to completely set my makeup but only on few special occasions and I make sure to plug my nose and refrain from breathing until I escape from the mist while it clears away (usually done outside).
It’s DEFINITELY not recommended and I would never suggest anyone else try this because no one can guarantee your skin won’t react so poorly to this, but it IS something people still do for especially long-wear occasions. I just don’t believe it should be relied on and only carefully done very few times a year, if that.
@@shamsal-ani3626💯
Could you please do some fun festival makeup ideas for this summer? I know you hate glitter, but it's time to step out of your comfortzone 😂 (just kidding)
😂😂😂 I use glitter in an upcoming videeeooooo! It could be festival like I guess!
CosRx has my favorites and they are available mostly everywhere and they also have invisible patches. They're super thin and they stick really well.
Two brands I don't know about how widely available they are? ZIT OUT by Avarelle and Hero. Hero I use for their microdarts on zits that haven't taken head yet. ZIT OUT I use for large clusters and I cut out what I need. These are both really great choices.
Just do not yes Yes To zit patches. They'll burn your skin. The Creme Shop is unfortunately a lot like the Starface patches.
Robert I don't think we'll see a typical festival look lol, even tho I know you can do *anything* but if you ever wanted to offer tips for mature skin & fun/novelty makeup styles, I'd love that. I do feel like there's a certain level of artistic restraint in your work, and I don't think festival makeup is to your taste, but you speak both respectfully & honestly about mature skin, and you really are very talented at that part of Ed, since it's really art theory. And no one teaches us theory like you ❤❤❤
I raise money for a living so I don't get to be too frivolous (no one's rules, just part of the job), so cute stickers are out, but im cheap AF & always try the cheapest decent option first. Some by Mii is fantastic for my aging skin & occasional persistent face or body pimple (nasty ichthammol is still #1 for carbuncles tho). I'm a pretty specific demographic but I've never had any issues, stinging, etc, they are packaged very wisely (k beauty FTW again!), the price is great & no irritation of any kind. 1-3 days for healing to complete. Put anti chafing Gel over them if you need an inner thigh or one that your pants run on. Works great for the most embarrassing & uncomfortable spots!
Ewwwww hairspray feeling on your face?! I have to use a smidge on my hair - it's fine & thin- I will pay $50 for a can of needed to not have that hairspray smell- I grew up in the 70's-80's I have Aquanet flashbacks now 😂
Starface got me with the adorable packaging, too, but my thing is stars, so I have them in yellow and black stars. I honestly use the CosRx zit stickers when I need to take care of something, and the Starface ones when I'm going to a concert or festival and yellow or black stars go with my outfit. It's just nice to know they are skin-safe.
I wished they worked because they are soooo cute! CosRx are my fave too!!! 💖
Same, I'm ride or die with the cosrx stickers but I use the star face ones when I have to have a patch on in public. (Also they got me with the SpongeBob collab lol)
I do the same, then it doesnt spread.
they’re just hydrocolloid while other brands have salicylic acid or other actives in
Loving your hair back off your face again 🥰
Same but I liked the fluffy e-boy hair too lol
Your setting spray before my foundation changed my life!!!!!!
Thank you for not only telling us what not to buy but also giving us great alternatives.
I so agree! Star Face just doesn't seem to pull as much "gunk" out or really put in the work to decrease the pimple. I love Avarelle, Peach Slices, and almost any other hydrocolloid patch.
I totalllllly agree with you on starface! A lot of ppl I know that like them have not tried any other pimple patches. They do absolutely nothing for me, and that’s a shame, because I think the idea of accentuating your spots instead of covering them is actually quite nice.
They’re a gimmick aren’t they! I got them for my daughter and they’re crap and don’t do a thing! I went with cosrx in the end and they’re great 😊
I like them for when I want to hide a pimple because they genuinely look cute but they don't speed the healing at all.
@@jesclifford88 those are my current favourites as well :)
@@GONEmypurpleflapjack same here… if they did both I think they’d be perfect !
I LITERALLY use $1 Family Dollar patches and oh my DAYS the way they work, I bought them first as a kind of desperate grab for SOMETHING but then seeing the way they WORKED I've bought nothing else since!
100% agree on the starface, the only ones I’ve found that actually do anything are the blue ones and even then they don’t work nearly as well as my mightypatches
I got the ones from Walgreens and they're fine for my little whiteheads.
"Not in pain, don't have a rash"- high expectations from our beauty products! Thank you for making us laugh!
I ran out of my norm setting spray and the one recommended to me failed MAJORLY . Insert the Jordan Peele sweating meme…AT A JOB FAIR. Ohh the SEETHING HATRED in my heart I had returning it 😂😂😂
I've been using Kryolan fixing spray since the early 2000's (holding at arms length when using is crucial) That is basically a turbo charged version of One/size setting spray without being a hairspray
You and James are really the only people I trust to tell us the truth about products ❤❤❤
Who’s James please?
@@JaxJaxksonJames Welsh. He’s Robert’s twin brother. He has a skin care channel, and a separate nail channel. Robert has a separate channel called Robert Reacts, and they have one together called The Welsh Twins. 🙂
I think we got scared you meant James Charles lol😂
I have enjoyed my Sunday listening to you and your twin. I followed your links to purchase some K products, including pillow makeup. When I started wearing makeup in 1964, yes that long ago. My first base was what would appear as a thick pillow base. We lightly laid our fingers over the color and gently tapped it on our faces. I am very fair and neutral so my correct shade was available. My friends were not all that lucky. Very few colors available then. We also brought the base down our necks and blended like crazy. Not that, It was called blending and there was no shading after blush. Now I am 73 and still trying to keep up! Love both you and your twin…together the two of you are so funny!
I just watched the video of twin's channel testing out products from tiktok and here Robert is, deinfluencing us from the setting spray. And I can't help but remember Robert's face when James tested a tiktok lip plumper on one of their videos. He's absolutely traumatized.
I agree with starface. I feel like they are about the same quality of cremeshop pimple patches. Cute, but.... they don't do a whole lot. So so many brands are much better. NGL, I just go to marshalls and get whatever random brand they have. Not quite as good as hero patches or zit stickers. But tbh a lot of the generic brands are decent and work just fine.
I love that you give alternatives to get the effect that the shit product doesn't deliver on. So helpful ❤
The Zitsticka Press Refresh masks are INCREDIBLE. Love that brand.
I always worry about lip plumpers because my skin is so sensitive. I get cold sores even from sun exposure so I stick to sunscreen lip balms. But aging is shrinking/thinning my lips so I would like to find a product that would be gentle enough and effective. Not sure if you guys have done a review or whatever of lip plumping products. I have seen you talk about them but would love to see you or your brother discuss pros/cons especially for those of us with really sensitive skin. Thank you for the CosRx idea tho! ❤💋
omg thank you for deinfluencing the starface patches! i used them when they first came out and even tried out different types/ colors and i feel like it doesnt do anything other then it looks cute / very gen z aesthetic. and i always thought i was just being crazy or it didnt work for me since i see everyone using it. I use Peach Slices deep blemish microdarts and the acne spot dots and ill never go back to something else, they work for me and heal my blemishes/ spots while actually sucking out the oil.
Thank you, Robert, for your honesty. An honest influencer is rare these days. *Algorithm *
I 100% agree with you about the L'Oréal setting spray. It's absolutely horrible!
I love that you told us what you didn’t like but options too ❤ especially a lower price and a higher 🎉
How nice to see the “setting spray“ back so soon after the twin channel video 🙂
(Edit):
Kind of agree about the Starface, but I find some of the ones that have, say, actives or the micro darts in them also give me dermatitis so I like having cute patches that don’t make everything worse on my face and make a fashion statement. I also think the ability to choose colors and use them to accessorize does wonders for the kids with zits and normalizes them, lessening the reasons for bullying, or at least that’s what I’ve witnessed in practice while working in an elementary-middle school setting.
I LOVE the L’Oréal setting spray works so good for me especially on the hot and humid days
I have the L’Oréal Spray and yep I agree, the only way I can use it up now is to set my body makeup, so like bronzer or highlighter on my chest or legs especially if I’m wearing white but definitely not something I would purchase again 🙈
The L’Oreal setting spray worked really well for me… I have combo skin leaning to balanced normal. I love your brutally honest reviews 😂
the way we put on hairspray in the 80s covered our faces, so maybe that's where they got the idea. we had high bangs/fringe, back in the day lol
I legit learned to use hairspray on my face to make my makeup last as an “old school” trick >ヮ
Kyrolan used to be the brand I used when I was taking hair and media makeup in college! So nostalgic! They do some nice makeup brushes as well! 🥰
Speaking about awful setting sprays I had run out of mine and was like hm why nobody’s talking about Huda Beauty Resting Boss spray. I don’t know why didn’t check any reviews, just ordered it and boy oh boy I realized quite quickly why there’s no buzz around it. It completely feels like a hair spray. I had to hold my breath for half a minute so I wouldn’t choke on whatever is in those chemicals. I don’t believe in that clean shit but there’s a reason why we don’t use hairsprays for our faces.
try gently massaging your lips with a really moisturizing lip balm or mask on!
the colorpop eyeshadow palette section freaking spoke to me!!! I was a fan of both Naruto and Sailor Moon growing up so I was excited to hear about their colorpop collaborations only to be underwelmed by the collections as a whole and I found the eyeshadow palettes uninspired and like something was missing 😮💨😞
listening while prepping work's meals for tomorrow. Glad to have something to listen to. I love hearing Robert shit talk. And watching his videos has helped me up my makeup game a double bonus!
Thank you for your honest review on the setting spray. I was thinking of getting it for when I go to my next music fest. Will be buying the o/s instead!
I like the star faced ones to keep me from picking. When I don't need something super strong, but I want to keep my hands off of a spot. That is the best use for them in my opinion
So glad you reiterated about that spray-it just cannot be good for you!♥️✌️
I almost bought that setting spray based on all the reviews, thank you for being honest!!!!
I miss the ghost story videos
Me too… but no one watched them 🥲
@@RobertWelsh bring them back for the ride or dies😂
I did 😅
@@RobertWelsh
Me too 😊
I did ❤
You are beautiful Robert. Stay as you are. Oh and ALGORITHM
I love the fact that you show a product that is not good. And then give us a product that you would recommend instead. I love that so much. You are probably my favorite youtuber. You and your brother both
Dear Robert, your reviews are so helpful and honest. You always explain why you don't like the product and what's the reason about it.
I agree with your opinions on starface. Felt like I was the only one who found they didn’t work well 😅 plus they never seem to stick on my face very long
I don't use any make up but I enjoy listening to you talk about it and all the shade you throw at things that totally deserve it.
That setting spray and lip plumper was WILD. Live strong 💪 robert. Thanks for taking one for the team.
Your videos are the only way I can drink coffee in peace. My 2yr son is obsessed with you and James and giggles all the time 🫶🏼
That’s soo cute. James and Robert are great people for him to grow up watching ❤
That is so sweet! ✨
Thank you for the honest de-influenstering. I have a whole can of Elnet in my bathroom; I will be sure not to use as a setting spray.
I just want to thank you because I'm incredibly new to makeup and I love your content! My foundation would still be peeling and awful if I didn't find your foundation mistakes video 😅 I moisture twice a day now and it's really improved my skin
I love the Starface patches not because of their acne fighting power but because I have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder! My skin doesn’t handle healing well and I’m very prone to scarring- hydrocolloid keeps the damaged skin moisturized and soft while it heals. They’re extremely cute and they can hold around curves better than the round patches, so they definitely help keep hands off, but I don’t think they help spots heal faster for any other reasons.
(For anyone else in the same boat as me, Band Aid makes hydrocolloid bandages now!! It’s about damn time!)
Thanks for being honest. I know I can always count on you ❤
Is it just me or your voice is so soothing I love watching u while I get ready
Robert's videos make Sunday my favorite day!
I put setting spray as a primer (a litrle trick I learned from Robert 😁🥰), under my foundation and then one more layer on top after I finish all of my make up and it holds up amazing, my make up lastst throught eating, drinking, dancing, working, sweating or crying ❤🎉
"doesn't smell like crap" this is the setting spray review I needed ✅
that's when i started taking notes 💀
Kryolan fixing spray is amazing for bridal makeup. It’s not needed for every day but it definitely works.
I love how Robert explains what is going to be happening to his dog, with context 🥰🥰
I highly recommend the long lasting setting spray from LH cosmetics! It really locks in your makeup but you can't feel it on your face, and it doesn't stink. 😊
I am in awe, and envious, of your manicure. Gorgeous!
i completely agree with you about the starface!!! i absolutely love them, i have so many (i wish the blue salicylic ones came in better colors) but they absolutely are not the best pimple patches on the market. if i actually need a true strong patch for a cyst, ill go for a heartier brand, but if i need to be seen in any, ill go with the stars. i will say im happy that more people are wearing the stars out and about these days and have kind of normalized them so i feel less stupid when seen wearing them in public!!!
Thank you for saving me from buying that L'oreal setting spray! I'm oily/mature (42) and that shiny lacquer would be a NIGHTMARE!
I love your giggle in all variations. Cream of the top
the comparison to hairspray made me laugh so much bc we actually used hairspray to make our stage make-up last longer in theater club 😭😭 it was thE WORST FEELING EVER UGh
When I saw that first ad for star face, I thought "Oh, we're bringing back syphillis patches are we?" It's all I could see from then on.
My sundays are always better since i watch Robert❤
Robert ❤ love that lil chuckle in the beginning! 😂😂😂😂😂 … Yes ! That setting spray is truly awful !! I like Elizabeth Mott setting spray … great price and locks everything in 💕💕
Your foundation looks so good!!
Hi Robert, I also purchased the L’Oréal setting spray, thank you for bringing this products less desirable formulation to our awareness and saving us some money. Love Katherine xoxo
😂😂Robert don’t ever stop doing this you were made for TH-cam I literally lol whilest equally totally appreciate your content 💋
Watching this immediately after the Welsh Twins video that the "setting spray" was in is perfect timing! L'Oreal just wanted to repackage their hairspray, for sure.
Teen girls wear the star stickers as almost accessories now. So I love that you’re horrified at being seen in them 😂
Good to know about the beauty and the beast pallet, it’s almost like the second Sailor Moon palette where they stuck colors that don’t fit the series. It’s like they don’t hired that main people are really into them to give them ideas on how to do the pallets. Since you talked about, they’re sleeping beauty collection was amazing since they matched the colors correctly to the idea of how the cell animation looked in the movie, as in very soft and very bright. Almost like airbrushed away. I meant Besame.
As an Elnett hairspray user, I am deeply offended!🤣😂 Never on the face, though - that would be a sticky nightmare! So scary about the plumping product. I'm glad it resolved itself, though. 💗
THANK YOU for saying this about the Starface patches! I find they do nothing, and the ones from Truly are the same.
The brand I would recommend to anyone is Peach Slices! Always worth popping in my Ulta bag when I’m looking to boost my purchase to qualify for a coupon or free gift. I especially love their dark spot microdart ones! Thank you, affordable k-beauty
@RobertWelsh, the whole setting spray bit reminded me of the fact I've been meaning to ask you something. Due to an illness (my temperature centre no longer works properly), and hormonal issues, I'll sweat at pretty low temperatures nowadays. As soon as it's 16°C with a bit of sun, my body thinks we're having tropical weather, and I'll start sweating. The lower temps have that sweaty sheen and the smaller sweaty droplets on chin and lip. The higher the temp, the more I get actual dripping on my face 😢. My body breaks down after 23 degrees (and then it'll look as if I'm standing under the shower. It's horrendous), and then I'll be very ill, but I would love to still get outside until that happens and feel pretty.
I've been trying pretty much every setting spray that says "sweat proof" under the sun, and had particularly high hopes for the TirTir Cooling one that's specifically meant for summer, to decrease your skin temperature and battle sweat. No luck with that one either.
Used it Saturday when going shopping, but alas, my experiment with all new asian brands resulting in beautiful makeup* was gone after 1.5hrs because of all the tissue dabbing I had had to undertake. I was super careful, but with a low coverage base, sweat will ruin it fast AF. If you have ANY tip that might help me keep my makeup in order for a few hours, I'd be delighted! I'm not oily. I actually have Sahara dry skin, which is why I stayed away from powder. But this sweat is killing me and making me look disgusting 🫣.
•
•
(*TIP: If you're like me and you like a more natural makeup, just because or due to dry and/ or mature skin, hear me out: I think I've finally found a foundation I'm willing to use more often if I can figure out the solution for the sweat. I used the silver TirTir, which has a more satiny finish on dry skin with a minor, minor glow and is low coverage. It's more of a tinted moisturiser/hydrating BB cream/skin tint idea without the dewiness of the white TirTir one (I want to buy that one for winter! ). I could still see my freckles in a muted form, but all my discolouration and redness were gone, and my skin looked much more even. I think if I use a glowy base underneath, like all those Flawless filter type liquids, or use my Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Moist Sun Serum which is VERY 'moist', it'll become a very dewy looking base. For summer, that's a no-go, especially because of the sweating. Anyway, the 17C is a perfect match for my quite fair skin. Tapped it on my neck, and you couldn't even see it there!😮 As a reference, I use the Nude Ivory in Wet & Wild Photofocus Dewy foundation, which is relatively close, but still a bit too dark and certainly too peachy-pink (it'll suit my face in summer with some colour more, but not my neck). The TirTir matches my neck perfectly at this time. I did have to go in several times with the sponge because of the low coverage, but maybe I need to press harder because I barely get anything on the sponge anyway.
Another new, great find>>I very lightly tapped (a new experiment) the CanMake cream cheek blush in Almond Terracotta (#16) with my finger above the line where the nose ends - no bronzer because of the brown blush - and tapped the Holika Holika butter stick highlighter on the high points of my cheek and a tiny bit on the nose bridge. Amazing find, that stick: gives a gorgeous 'glowy from within' natural shine on your cheekbones. It still has a tiny bit of a champagne-y colour, but zero glitter, obvious shimmer, or visibility from the moon. It also doesn't highlight texture, is buildable, and is super easy to use. Both looked so natural and blended into the skin perfectly without being sticky. As a pale woman I need to tap my finger very softly & only thrice in the blush compact to get great effect, so despite the small amount, I think those CanMake blushes will last me a long time (I also bought a fire engine red #CL10 Clear Red Heart after I saw the owner of RMS beauty advise everyone to buy red blush as it looks great and natural as a true flush on every skintone: she's right! Both shades will also look great on medium and deeper skintones. On Yesstyle, they're currently €9.60).
Finished my look with a pinkish nude lip and a layer of brown-burgundy mascara. I was honestly gobsmacked about the result. It looked like I was barely wearing any makeup, despite the almost full face, but I did look fresh and healthy... and 5 years younger! As my chronical illnesses have had a devastating effect on my skin - my 73yo mom has less wrinkles and texture + still fuller lips than I do - and going out without any makeup always results in an "Wow, you're not doing so great at the moment, aren't ya?", that was almost tears of joy-worthy! I hope anyone reading this got something out of the tips!)
I really wanted to try that setting spray too!
I like the Charlotte Tilbury Collagen Bath Lip Gloss. It has a minty tingle and not the spicy capsaicin plumping feel.
I appreciate you suggesting alternative options.
i love the Krylan Setting spray mostly because i am a cosplayer and it keeps my makeup on all day but the L'Oréal one made me feel like i just sprayed Got2b glued hairspray on my face and it was awful
The lip plumper is sooooo nice, it’s not extremely painful but it definitely does work
Don’t do makeup probably never will but I LOVE hearing him talk about all this shit
LOVE the On Til Dawn, but my husband does call it my face hairspray. I think it’s the container throwing him, but it works like a dream! And I have combo old lady skin.
The Ine Suze setting spray also is like hair spray, but that stuff doesn't move!! I DO use it after makeup and I woke 12 hour shifts at my hospital, and my makeup still looks good. I DO agree with your tale on things!! And you make me laugh! Thanks
Hi Robert! Two off-topic things (but the algorithm will never know). 1 - I got the TirTir Mask Fit Red Cushion on your rec and oh my goddy god, you were right, it is _perfection_ And 2 - I love that top, I need it, can you share the brand/where you got it so I might shamelessly copy you? Love your work, thank you for both the info and the smiles you give to us!
I bought that CosRX lip plumper on your recommendation Robert and it's wonderful! I'm a total wimp with lip plumpers too and this one is very tolerable.💜💋
Happy Sunday
Let’s switch lip color. I have zero color on my lips. I hate it. I wish I could have your color. So pretty.
Totally agree with Starface. I like the Mighty Patch ones.
Came here from the thumbnail and holy mother of... I was always iffy about lip plumpers but now I'll stay as far as possible. And that setting spray ooof, that's just glue in aerosol form😅
