I think a lot of people ( myself included) forget what real skin texture looks like and looks likes under makeup. The same with “lines/creasing” it’s not creasing it’s one’s eyes natural lines and movement. With blurring and filters and being online we can forget what makeup looks like on top of skin. It isn’t cakey it’s normal texture of the product.
I legitimately spent so many years thinking I wasn't good at makeup because I couldn't get my skin perfectly smooth and flawless and my eyeshadow never seemed as vibrant and perfect. Turns out it was mostly photoshop and filters and I'm not too shabby
Ok but adding in an unusual shade to your foundation to practice laying it down evenly is actually kind of brilliant. This would have helped me so much when I was first starting/trying to figure out how much product to use. Also the deodorant thing. I was screaming "GIRL NOOOOOOOOOOO" the whole time. Not only because I didn't think it would work, but it was used??? and not by her????? girl nooooooo

The girl with the eyeliner tutorial, if i remember correctly, also did her best to mimic a hooded eye so she could try to show people with hooded eyes how to do theirs. It was really cute to watch because out of everyone doing "tutorials" shes one of the only one ive seen actually try to give something helpful
When I was little I applied deodorant to my face because I was feeling sweaty and hot after sports day at school - let’s just say that explaining to my doctor what I did as he was looking at my rash was embarrassing to say the very least 🙂🤌🏻
Deodorant is just concentrated fragrance. Antiperspirant, while it can also have fragrance, contains aluminum chloride (or similar chemical) that block pores so they don't produce sweat. I've used antiperspirant under my makeup in certain areas (upper lip, forehead) to keep my makeup from sweating off and it does work. I have sensitive/ reactive skin and I've not had a problem with it. But I also use fragrance free so... 🤷♀️
I'm so happy to see a powder eyeliner!! I had clients angry with me because I pulled out powder or gel and an angle brush to do eyeliner instead of liquid! And then when I ask if they want to do their own liquid liner they say they can't and I end up teaching them that same technique as shown in this video. Liquid eyeliner is not the end all be all of eyeliner. 🤦🏼♀️
I used to be obsessseeeddd with the black liquid liner look. Like, you couldn't catch me without my wings. But now that I've started to use browns/neutral powder shades as my eyeliner I haven't gone back lol. The black liquid liner is too much for me now.
I learned eyeliner using powder first and then promoted myself to pencils once I felt I got good enough with powder. I'm still afraid to touch liquid eyeliner lol
I do a gel liner and matte-ify it with a black shadow. Or if I know it's veeerrryyy hot and humid I'll use my black liquid lipstick. Do as I say not as I do- you really don't want to use a liquid lip especially a dark one because it'll most likely stain
I also hate the marker style liquid liners… the weird felt tip brush NEVER applies correctly on my skin and always bleeds weirdly, kind of like using a sharpie on the wrong type of paper!
This eye look is absolutely STUNNING. I will never get over the fact that not only are you drop dead beautiful, but you're also honest and genuinely educating people out of kindness. I realize you get paid for this, as well, but I also know that it's not your only motive. We need more of you in the world.
I love the way that woman explained how to do eyeliner bc I still can't do a wing lol I've watched tutorials and all they do is put their eyeliner on with liquid eyeliner. Well if I could do that I wouldn't need a tutorial!! Lol Thanks Robert for all your wonderful advice!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@rigginsrallygirl girl, same. I can do a tiny, tiny extension to my lash line straight out to the side, but I usually don't mess with eyeliner except to tight line. If I want a cat eye I do it with shadow.
On 1 it makes me feel vindicated in my inability to do eyeliner since I have 1 liquid liner and that's all I've ever had, and on the other damn I wasted money lmao
@@rigginsrallygirl I also have hooded eyes so that is why I struggle so much. I never thought about using eyeshadow tho, so maybe it will come out better??!! Lol
@@rigginsrallygirl You can do a V shape sideways; that is what I have been doing since university. Just look straight forward into the mirror and do whatever angle suits your eye shape upwards and outwards. Pretend that the hood is not there. Color over the hood basically. Then, when you lean backwards or close your eyes a bit, retouch the color on your hood to look intentional, symmetrical on both sides. It should look like a sideways V shape. I hope this makes sense. 🤓 By the way, I use a kohl pencil and go over it with a black eyeshadow to set it. Very forgiving, especially if you have Q tips and some cotton pads around.
The fake tan contouring hack is great in theory, but I just know if I tried it, I'd be giving myself orange cheeks. I'm pasty and cool-toned so fake tanning stuff (and bronzer tbh) never looks believable on me. On the other hand, the awesome eyeliner lady just gave me a confidence boost and I may have to give eyeliner another shot after her tutorial!
I’m cool toned too and very fair, but I have used the fake tanner as contour hack under my chin/on my neck, to define cleavage, and in the “notch” at the bottom of my calves. Dancers have been doing this for years.
I have seen fake tan or henna used to make incredible fake freckles but I don't think it's that great for contouring on most people, maybe highlighting in small areas you normally bronze (where the warm tone is good) but then again most people are putting foundation on anyway so it would get covered.
Thank you SO MUCH! I feel like when I tell clients about how you can’t really “get rid of…” or “completely stop creasing” they are having a small bubble shattered cuz they saw someone do it on TikTok or elsewhere (probs had a filter on…). Thank you for being transparent! MUAs are not the bad guys, they’re the pros.
Honestly, I love cake eyeliners. The wet/dry application and the ability to make it the right consistency so you don't have the liquid pen dragging/skipping and you can even build up the color intensity as you want. It's my favorite way to do eyeliner.
I remember reading (years ago) a tip on stopping sweating on the face was to use spray antiperspirant on it before putting on the makeup. I've always been a head sweater more than pits, so I tried this, and it does work - a sweat gland is a sweat gland. My skin has always been on the dry side, and oils are not the problem, but the sweat. I didn't use this trick that often, and I haven't done it in years, because I figured it can't be very healthy to spray aluminium on your face, and eventually I decided that instead of trying to have a perfectly made-up face on a hot day, I'll just go make-up free and stop worrying as much.
Spraying the deodorant into out face is almost as bad as spraying it onto our armpits. The same aerosol gets into our lungs, perhaps not that much but still a huge amount. There should be a deodorant for our faces 😂
When she started putting deodorant on her face, I could almost feel the skin on mine starting to itch and shrivel up and feel red an blotchy. I mean why would she do that 😲!
💗 Hope you feel better, I know what you mean. I've started to go to sleep listening to the double cleanse podcast so I don't have nightmares. Robert and James are pure sunshine.
That was the most comprehensive and perfect eyeliner tutorial ever. That’s what I did when I started out and now I flick it on in 2 seconds. Muscle memory!!! Train your hands and you’ll be good
Wayne Goss showing using shadow on the brush and dabbing it vertically through the upper lash line was just a complete revelation (having been a slave to eyeliner throughout the 80s and 90s,I hated the stuff) . Classy & subtle .
Every time I see a video that shows a powder supposedly getting rid of pores I cringe. That's not how skin works at all. Who are they kidding when they say that, most of us know better by now.
“Hi my name is Robert, I’m a professional makeup artist” That statement, with your voice, makes me feel so calm and blissful 🫣You’ve got such a “fancy” voice…Is fancy the right word? Who knows…I’m in the US, specifically NC (the south), so lots of people in this part of the country sound like a cross between Joe Dirt, Jeff Foxworthy and Trailer Trash Tammy (Chelcie Lynn). 🫠😬🤦♀️ I love you and James and look forward to your videos, especially when you’re together. Y’all are hilarious!♥️
I just wanna say thank you so much for just being you. I've noticed that when I do my concealer the way you recommend and when I do a lighter layer of foundation and don't try to go so full coverage, I get more compliments on my complexion. I've actually had people think that my foundation was just my skin as if I'm just having a great skin day or something. Thank you so much for showing us how to look our best in real life and not just on camera
I love how you physically demonstrate how lighting rigs appear to change skin textures. It's so annoying how some people will gas on about how their textures will magically vanish with some overpriced powder or primer. It's not a camera filter, true, but it's still not being completely honest. I wish the eyeliner tricks worked on me. I have so little visible lid space any but the tiniest amount will take over once my eyes are open. I'd like to know what you think about people mixing their foundations with their sunscreen to make custom tinted sunscreen. I'd be hesitant, because I'd worry that it would either mess with the efficacy of the SPF, or worse, not stay put because it blends poorly with the foundation formula.
I'm clearly not Robert, but if you want my two cents on the matter, I feel like why not just put on sunscreen and then foundation after? It's going to make you look the same, and that way you wouldn't risk messing with the efficacy of the SPF, which idk if that's a real thing that can happen or not, but it's better to be safe!
I loved Tyana and her eyeliner video! Your 'blurring powder' explanation with your hands showing the light thing was great and would be a really good TikTok. Tell them Robert!
Hello, Robert!! I hope you're doing fantastic! I have been using powdered eyeshadows, for my eyeliner for many, many years. I also use liquid. I love that foundation technique. I use my fingers to apply foundation, all the time. I go over it with a sponge, to blend it out. Thanks for another awesome video!! Take care, Robert! 💜🌚
Robert I recently came across puppy eyeliner on Pinterest - can you do a video on which eyeliner styles suit different eye types/shapes? 💜 Love all your vids!!
Robert, I just want to thank you for your videos. I always watch them before going to bed (I leave alone and sometimes feel lonely, esp at night) and they make me feel cozy. You’re amazing and your content is not only entertaining, but also informative and helpful. Keep going! ✨🖤✨
I *LOVE* these type of videos you make. You make them so enjoyable and pleasant to watch. You don't tear anyone down or make snide comments. Just alternative ways or you challenge them in a good way. No wonder you're our favourite MUA/TH-camrs 👏🏻💕
I love your bit about the lighting and powder. Using your hand and actually showing it was so helpful to understand light reflection on highlighter. Thank you for always being amazing.
I’m definitely going to try a powder liner. I tried a liquid liner as a first try and I looked like a nightmare lol. The powder looks easier to control and maybe a little more “forgiving” than a liquid for a beginner like myself.
The only thing I have to say about the eyeliner tutorial, is when I first started watching videos to learn my eyeliner they said to use tape but it always ended up being crazy. I later realized my eyes are uneven so I learned my natural shape and it looks way better.
from my experience, i found putting very martifying powders almost emphasized my texture and made me more self conscious of my skin. now if i set my face i now just add setting spray after i lightly powder
video/lighting looks insanely clear like i can really see the makeup details on your face. most makeup vids… it’s so hard to actually see like it’s almost blurred.
I absolutely LOVE the energy of the eyeliner girl (sorry I missed her name) and appreciate the REAL beginner tutorial….as a mature person that needs help with these “modern” makeup looks. Also, Robert, my dog refuses (I believe intentionally) to let me get a good photo of her lol. So please share tips when you’re successful!! 🖤🖤
As someone who works at a very popular makeup retailer i THANK YOU SO MUCH for your honesty in these videos. “On camera it did it, in real life it DIDN’T” TikTok is great. It is making the industry alot of money however it is also creating a newer beast of unrealistic expectations at a much faster rate with this short form content format. As a makeup artist who began to help boost confidence in others and teach people how they could use makeup to make themselves feel more beautiful I worry how this will effect a newer generation of artists and beauty standards. 💜
I am 60, and for most of my life I used my fingers to apply my foundation. Of course, when makeup brushes became the "thing," of course I have purchased so many different ones, but I still like using my fingers!! I actually do go over it lightly with a sponge to remove excess product!!🖤🖤🖤 The eyeliner Tik Tok was AMAZING!❤ PS Hey Robert, this video was very soft and I had a hard time hearing you on my device. I wonder if the device is the problem, but in any case, if you could turn up the volume, that would be nice!
Your makeup was so gorgeous in this video!! That deep purple on the top with the very light chartreuse on the bottom is sickening!! I’m going try it TOMORROW!!! 😍😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤🖤
I really appreciate how you always make sure to talk about real life vs. on camera! it’s so important to keep reminding people that those two are completely different planes of existence and that the way things look off camera isn’t bad, it’s just how things work.
Robert, you are gorgeous. I have small wrinkles on cared for skin. I have eye creases from smiling and crying, sleeping and laughing for 54 years. Keep making me smile, and reminding this platform that we are beautifully imperfect.
My 12 year old self tried using Almay Unscented Anti-Perspirant on my forehead as my oil production got was going up. It worked, but left a white cast while the rest of my face got shiny. Even as a child I knew that wasn't the way to go...
Funnily enough I actually have a body deodorizing powder which is what people used to use back in the day, since it's mostly starch and some natural fragrances it would probably work in a pinch... just not well. (I still use normal deodorant, this thing is just perfect for us chubbier folks for folds - stays dry and smell-free, recommended)
Robert! Your dogs are so cute!!! Little mustache babies!!! My husband and i have an addiction…..we have 6 chihuahuas! Each one has their own personality and we love each and every one of them for who they are. They are SPOILED!
I have always used my hands for foundation until 2020. I use a brush now because I love not getting my hands dirty these days. Using my hands and fingers was still the best way!
I worked in luxury skincare for quite a while, and I loved the mantra we used of “underpromise, then overdeliver” at my most recent company, in terms of results. I was always a big proponent of explaining things as you do-“if there was a guaranteed solution to xxxxx problem (wrinkles, dark circles, etc.) and we solved it, that would be literally all we sell. But here’s what will help improve it..”
Love your eyemakeup, absolutely stunning! I’ve been binge watching you for the past week and I can’t get enough. You make me laugh and elevate my mood so thank you 💜
If you're gonna try the fake tan contor/bronzer thing, please make sure you're using stuff mean for the face. Thank you for another wonderful video always full of great info! 💜🖤💜
Love these reaction videos! Some of the ideas are great and others not so much. It’s fun to watch though and to see you react and give us your thoughts and opinions. Thank you! Always entertaining 😊 keep on shining! ❤️💫🌟
It is hilarious that we have been told or conditioned that we can’t use our fingers to apply makeup! I’m only 47 but I have always used my fingers to apply foundation, only recently have I been ‘encouraged’ to use tools. Fingers are tools! 😂 Fantastic marketing for the requirement for these tools.
Honestly, I kinda prefer and angled brush sprayed w some setting spray and a dark eyeshadow to liquid liner. I end up w much sharper points that way than w a liquid liner, plus the brush has held up for years, meanwhile those felt tips end up losing their sharpness before they lose their pigment.
Thank you for making us not feel like complete s h I t about ppl looking FLAWLESS online etc...when half of it is camera tricks and lighting...bc it's hard to not compare yourself to everyone you see online... especially you being so f u c k I n g beautiful...it makes me feel more confident in myself for having all of this texture and natural smile lines and eye lines on my face ❤️❤️❤️
I've been using Innisfree powder for years and not once have I done that 'Tiktok' shocked face. Amazing powder that softens and makes my skin look smoother, but not blurred
I've often debated trying out a light wash of aluminum anti-perspirant as a primer to see if it would decrease oil production where my makeup breaks down the fastest (although I don't have the nerve to actually do it, as I'm sensitive to baking soda and don't want to risk aggravating my skin), but NEVER have I thought deodorant could serve as a substitute for powder. That's just illogical!
The liner tiktok had me cracking up. I can't do liner to save my dang life. You're exactly right with how everyone always does "beginner" tutorials for it and just swipe it on. It's like um hello sunshine this isn't helping me lmao 😂🤌
Hey as a friend who sweats PROFUSELY from the hairline, I have OFTEN put antiperspirant on my face - but my OWN antiperspirant and one that doesn't touch my pits 😂😂😂😂 If botox weren't so expensive I'd have had my hairline done years ago (not for wrinkles, I like my wrinkles - but it also stops sweating)
Robert please do a video going in depth about lip stick shades and undertones! Tons of people struggle with picking a shade. I tried to Google it and quite a few wanted you to pay for a class on it! So there's a big audience in this!
Hi Robert! It's been so long since I've last commented on your videos (any video for that matter). But don't you worry, I've been tuning in to your videos as a silent watcher. 😁
My first eyeliner was a tricky liquid liner. At some point I started using a thin little brush and a dark eyeshadow instead and I find it much easier. Liquid eyeliners are great for a sharp look and may be a better option for longevity, but they're harder to use and it's harder to fix mistakes in my experience Plus I personally don't really want a sharp or dramatic look so I'm not bothered Eyeshadow is easier to get a softer/lighter look which I find works better with my features/coloring
Although I don't do it now as I'm too lazy and I have a ton of great brushes, I cannot advocate for using your fingers to do your foundation enough (if you don't have really long nails). As a student, the minute I got my student loan, I went straight to the Mac counter and got matched for foundation but when the lady tried to upsell me a foundation brush (which was expensive), I politely said thanks but no thanks. She didn't take offence and just said I could use my fingers. I did so for about 3 years straight with no issue and got compliments on my skin constantly. BTW my makeup routine hadn't even developed yet then and it consisted of just eye brows, foundation and face powder. The only thing I'd say is to wash tour hands before application and after or keep a wet wipe next to you because there's a high chance you'll stain something with your hands.
I think a lot of people ( myself included) forget what real skin texture looks like and looks likes under makeup. The same with “lines/creasing” it’s not creasing it’s one’s eyes natural lines and movement. With blurring and filters and being online we can forget what makeup looks like on top of skin.

I'd like to know what you think about people mixing their foundations with their sunscreen to make custom tinted sunscreen. I'd be hesitant, because I'd worry that it would either mess with the efficacy of the SPF, or worse, not stay put because it blends poorly with the foundation formula.
I'm clearly not Robert, but if you want my two cents on the matter, I feel like why not just put on sunscreen and then foundation after? It's going to make you look the same, and that way you wouldn't risk messing with the efficacy of the SPF, which idk if that's a real thing that can happen or not, but it's better to be safe!
I loved Tyana and her eyeliner video! Your 'blurring powder' explanation with your hands showing the light thing was great and would be a really good TikTok. Tell them Robert!
Hello, Robert!! I hope you're doing fantastic! I have been using powdered eyeshadows, for my eyeliner for many, many years. I also use liquid. I love that foundation technique. I use my fingers to apply foundation, all the time. I go over it with a sponge, to blend it out. Thanks for another awesome video!! Take care, Robert! 💜🌚
Robert I recently came across puppy eyeliner on Pinterest - can you do a video on which eyeliner styles suit different eye types/shapes? 💜 Love all your vids!!
Omg two videos?! Thanks so much Robert!
Robert, I just want to thank you for your videos. I always watch them before going to bed (I leave alone and sometimes feel lonely, esp at night) and they make me feel cozy. You’re amazing and your content is not only entertaining, but also informative and helpful. Keep going! ✨🖤✨
That tweezer hack for inner eye wing, genius!
I *LOVE* these type of videos you make. You make them so enjoyable and pleasant to watch. You don't tear anyone down or make snide comments. Just alternative ways or you challenge them in a good way. No wonder you're our favourite MUA/TH-camrs 👏🏻💕
I love your bit about the lighting and powder. Using your hand and actually showing it was so helpful to understand light reflection on highlighter. Thank you for always being amazing.
I’m definitely going to try a powder liner. I tried a liquid liner as a first try and I looked like a nightmare lol. The powder looks easier to control and maybe a little more “forgiving” than a liquid for a beginner like myself.
also the girl with the eyeliner hack around 9:30 was cute as hell
The powdered eyeliner girl is amazing!
I think people were expecting the deodorant working like that Mally's face defender...🤷🏻♀️
The only thing I have to say about the eyeliner tutorial, is when I first started watching videos to learn my eyeliner they said to use tape but it always ended up being crazy. I later realized my eyes are uneven so I learned my natural shape and it looks way better.
from my experience, i found putting very martifying powders almost emphasized my texture and made me more self conscious of my skin. now if i set my face i now just add setting spray after i lightly powder
video/lighting looks insanely clear like i can really see the makeup details on your face. most makeup vids… it’s so hard to actually see like it’s almost blurred.
I absolutely LOVE the energy of the eyeliner girl (sorry I missed her name) and appreciate the REAL beginner tutorial….as a mature person that needs help with these “modern” makeup looks.
Also, Robert, my dog refuses (I believe intentionally) to let me get a good photo of her lol. So please share tips when you’re successful!! 🖤🖤
As someone who works at a very popular makeup retailer i THANK YOU SO MUCH for your honesty in these videos. “On camera it did it, in real life it DIDN’T” TikTok is great. It is making the industry alot of money however it is also creating a newer beast of unrealistic expectations at a much faster rate with this short form content format. As a makeup artist who began to help boost confidence in others and teach people how they could use makeup to make themselves feel more beautiful I worry how this will effect a newer generation of artists and beauty standards. 💜
I am 60, and for most of my life I used my fingers to apply my foundation. Of course, when makeup brushes became the "thing," of course I have purchased so many different ones, but I still like using my fingers!! I actually do go over it lightly with a sponge to remove excess product!!🖤🖤🖤
The eyeliner Tik Tok was AMAZING!❤
PS Hey Robert, this video was very soft and I had a hard time hearing you on my device. I wonder if the device is the problem, but in any case, if you could turn up the volume, that would be nice!
Can we agree that we love the green purple Combos but that yellow just looks stunning?
Roberts voice is so relaxing he should so asmr!! Its so soft and gentle you can fall asleep to his voice!!! ❤❤💜💜
Your makeup was so gorgeous in this video!! That deep purple on the top with the very light chartreuse on the bottom is sickening!! I’m going try it TOMORROW!!! 😍😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤🖤
I really appreciate how you always make sure to talk about real life vs. on camera! it’s so important to keep reminding people that those two are completely different planes of existence and that the way things look off camera isn’t bad, it’s just how things work.
Robert, you are gorgeous.
I have small wrinkles on cared for skin. I have eye creases from smiling and crying, sleeping and laughing for 54 years. Keep making me smile, and reminding this platform that we are beautifully imperfect.
My 12 year old self tried using Almay Unscented Anti-Perspirant on my forehead as my oil production got was going up. It worked, but left a white cast while the rest of my face got shiny. Even as a child I knew that wasn't the way to go...
Whew. First glance at the makeup.. amazing. Especially the eyes!
Robert's "Real Life" reviews! My loard I LOVE this Man & his ways!
✨🖤💜💖
I have a birthday party to go to today, I tried the eyeliner thing for something a little extra-it works!! So easy. But take your time, don’t rush
I bloody love you Robert! You make every “perfect” vision make sense. Thank you so much. You make us mere mortals feel like we have a chance 🖤
I love how real he is about skin and what it does naturally! Makeup indeed has it's limits and it's best to accept that.
I love your little shimmy dance at the end. Thank you for the fun information as always!
It was so nice to see you explain the facts about light and makeup products. Thank you, Robert 🥰
I really appreciate the explanation of blurring on camera versus real life with matte powder! Thank you!
Robert Welsh videos are why I wake up in the morning
Funnily enough I actually have a body deodorizing powder which is what people used to use back in the day, since it's mostly starch and some natural fragrances it would probably work in a pinch... just not well.
(I still use normal deodorant, this thing is just perfect for us chubbier folks for folds - stays dry and smell-free, recommended)
The dogs are just the cutest! Thank you for sharing your babies with us, Robert! 💜🖤💜
How refreshing to see an ad that's really genuine: I can tell you use it and it's really helping. So thanks for that
That sebum powder helps reduce oil in real life. It is not meant to be mattifying or texture reducing. I use it every day :)
Thank you, I was looking for this comment! I have it too and I can’t go outside without it in the hot summers of Japan😭😭😭
Really enjoyed watching this, I do love a good winged liner but I really struggle to get both eyes identical x
Robert! Your dogs are so cute!!! Little mustache babies!!! My husband and i have an addiction…..we have 6 chihuahuas! Each one has their own personality and we love each and every one of them for who they are. They are SPOILED!
I have always used my hands for foundation until 2020. I use a brush now because I love not getting my hands dirty these days. Using my hands and fingers was still the best way!
I always find your honesty so refreshing 😌
I love how the foundation guy called them defective areas!! Best description ever! Deodorant is for smell an antiperspirant has the powdered texture!
Love the green eyeliner under the eye. Beautiful!
I worked in luxury skincare for quite a while, and I loved the mantra we used of “underpromise, then overdeliver” at my most recent company, in terms of results. I was always a big proponent of explaining things as you do-“if there was a guaranteed solution to xxxxx problem (wrinkles, dark circles, etc.) and we solved it, that would be literally all we sell. But here’s what will help improve it..”
Love your eyemakeup, absolutely stunning! I’ve been binge watching you for the past week and I can’t get enough. You make me laugh and elevate my mood so thank you 💜
If you're gonna try the fake tan contor/bronzer thing, please make sure you're using stuff mean for the face.
Thank you for another wonderful video always full of great info! 💜🖤💜
I love the fact you explain everything and show it too. Your just awesome. I always learn something new from you in each video. 💜🖤
Your makeup is flawless!
omg im so happy youre going to start streaming!
Love these reaction videos! Some of the ideas are great and others not so much. It’s fun to watch though and to see you react and give us your thoughts and opinions. Thank you! Always entertaining 😊 keep on shining! ❤️💫🌟
It is hilarious that we have been told or conditioned that we can’t use our fingers to apply makeup! I’m only 47 but I have always used my fingers to apply foundation, only recently have I been ‘encouraged’ to use tools. Fingers are tools! 😂 Fantastic marketing for the requirement for these tools.
"to use a guide, within reason... Not a fork" 🤣🤣🤣 without batting an eye🤣
Honestly, I kinda prefer and angled brush sprayed w some setting spray and a dark eyeshadow to liquid liner. I end up w much sharper points that way than w a liquid liner, plus the brush has held up for years, meanwhile those felt tips end up losing their sharpness before they lose their pigment.
The best part of the video is the AD!! Robert to stream on twitch?? Best news today!!!💜
Thank you for making us not feel like complete s h I t about ppl looking FLAWLESS online etc...when half of it is camera tricks and lighting...bc it's hard to not compare yourself to everyone you see online... especially you being so f u c k I n g beautiful...it makes me feel more confident in myself for having all of this texture and natural smile lines and eye lines on my face ❤️❤️❤️
Deodorant works brilliantly UNDER makeup, I use it on my T zone sometimes when I need a long lasting face
I've been using Innisfree powder for years and not once have I done that 'Tiktok' shocked face. Amazing powder that softens and makes my skin look smoother, but not blurred
Really LOVE this eye look you having in this video
I've often debated trying out a light wash of aluminum anti-perspirant as a primer to see if it would decrease oil production where my makeup breaks down the fastest (although I don't have the nerve to actually do it, as I'm sensitive to baking soda and don't want to risk aggravating my skin), but NEVER have I thought deodorant could serve as a substitute for powder. That's just illogical!
The liner tiktok had me cracking up. I can't do liner to save my dang life. You're exactly right with how everyone always does "beginner" tutorials for it and just swipe it on. It's like um hello sunshine this isn't helping me lmao 😂🤌
These lashes are BEAUTIFUL
Always looks stunning 🤩
Hey as a friend who sweats PROFUSELY from the hairline, I have OFTEN put antiperspirant on my face - but my OWN antiperspirant and one that doesn't touch my pits 😂😂😂😂
If botox weren't so expensive I'd have had my hairline done years ago (not for wrinkles, I like my wrinkles - but it also stops sweating)
Omg this makeup 😍😍😍 i love the eyes so much!
Robert please do a video going in depth about lip stick shades and undertones! Tons of people struggle with picking a shade. I tried to Google it and quite a few wanted you to pay for a class on it! So there's a big audience in this!
I hit the like button as soon as I saw pictures of doggos 🧡
Your makeup looks incredible!!!
Robert, how are you so beautiful?! And, I love your makeup here! Stunning!
What happened to the other video? I was so happy to see two videos uploaded😅
Have you watched Echos on Netflix! It's about twins that switch lives every year!
I loved the eyeliner tutorial 😅
Hi Robert! It's been so long since I've last commented on your videos (any video for that matter). But don't you worry, I've been tuning in to your videos as a silent watcher. 😁
My first eyeliner was a tricky liquid liner. At some point I started using a thin little brush and a dark eyeshadow instead and I find it much easier. Liquid eyeliners are great for a sharp look and may be a better option for longevity, but they're harder to use and it's harder to fix mistakes in my experience
Plus I personally don't really want a sharp or dramatic look so I'm not bothered
Eyeshadow is easier to get a softer/lighter look which I find works better with my features/coloring
Although I don't do it now as I'm too lazy and I have a ton of great brushes, I cannot advocate for using your fingers to do your foundation enough (if you don't have really long nails). As a student, the minute I got my student loan, I went straight to the Mac counter and got matched for foundation but when the lady tried to upsell me a foundation brush (which was expensive), I politely said thanks but no thanks. She didn't take offence and just said I could use my fingers. I did so for about 3 years straight with no issue and got compliments on my skin constantly. BTW my makeup routine hadn't even developed yet then and it consisted of just eye brows, foundation and face powder. The only thing I'd say is to wash tour hands before application and after or keep a wet wipe next to you because there's a high chance you'll stain something with your hands.
Excited to see you on twitch! I'm starting there next month, not makeup though lol I'll leave that to the experts!
HER BOYFRIEND'S OLD SPICE that's disgusting
Omg I LOVE the eyeliner gal. Telling the truth!
