Are you in the UK? I don't know that shade, but I love the new Superdrug's own brand brown lipstick. It's matte, and longlasting, but I think they might have a glossy one too. Revolution also had a collab with Soph Does Nails (now Soph does life) and their brown lipstick was beautiful.
I have the dupes!! The 2 that are vegan/CF came randomly in my boxycharm lol! Both look fairly different in swatches but are very close on my lips. Unfortunately my lip tone (very cool mauve rose) is probably not exactly the same as yours lol, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction: Ofra liquid lipstick in Canyon, which is much warmer in the bottle but, with a light-med application, looks like a matte rum raisin to me. And Complex Culture Pout Clout lipstick (a long lasting satin-to-matte that does not dry too much) in How Sway, which is a bit darker & browner than Rum Raisin but very similar look on me. Lol I've been doing paler stains lately, but now I m admiring these darker shades, this looks really nice with light spring eye & cheek makeup. Hope this helps, Ofra is $20, complex Culture is $24, but they were in boxes recently, so check Poshmark or Mercari for ppl reselling with better prices. Oh! I looked at Complex Culture's range of lip shades. good news - it looks like there are numerous possible dupes for Rum Raisin, and it is vegan/CF, and is a genuinely nice formula, just seems a bit pricey to my cheap self... PS now I am admiring this How Sway shade, and noticing that I applied it full strength from the tube to my lips, and didn't need to blot or adjust it to get bold, deep color that does not age me (52, pale & splotchy, love dark lips but usually have to do them carefully). Might just be a perfect shade for me, but the quality actually does seem to be quite good, I may have just assumed that ipsy brands were over priced.
My terrible advice is that undereye concealer isn't always needed. Sometimes it looks better to have darkness under the eye. It adds dimension and in some makeup looks/face structures it balances the eye area nicely.
My terrible advice is to sometimes ignore your colour palette. I am cool toned. But sometimes I want bright orange eyeshadows! Sometimes I want pastels despite being more of a jewel tone person (or “winter”). It’s okay to experiment with colours that aren’t supposed to look good on you, because sometimes you just want to wear something different and your confidence and excitement can be enough to make you look fantastic in those colours!
I love this one. Yellow supposedly looks bad on me, but it’s my sister fav color so sometimes I rock a shiny yellow eyeshadow cuz she’s gonna be looking at my eyeballs. :-D.
This is a great point! Iris "undertones" (I mean those little flecks in the eye color that might be anywhere from silver to rust) can make a big difference in how your eyes look in certain shades!
ELF brushes are a good price point and just like Robert said - if you take care of them properly, they'll last for years! I have a bunch of elf brushes and I've had them for like, 5 years or something crazy like that.
I have a few too. I've had no issues with them falling apart or not applying well. My favorite set (I bought 2) is from BH Cosmetics. It was done in collaboration with a guru who I've never heard of but since they were all eye brushes and it was a 9pc set selling for $7.99 at TJ Maxx I said why not. These brushes work so great for my eye shape. A month ago I picked up a few singles from Sigma. I just used 2 of them yesterday. One of them scratched the he!! out of my lids 😢 The other was just okay. I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for either brush because the experience everyone raves about when it comes to that brand was not what I experienced... 🤷♀️
My first makeup brushes were E.L.F. I've had no issues with bristles falling out, getting bent, etc. but several of my brushes have separated from their barrels. I am careful to washa dn dry them upside down, so I don't think it was mishandling that did it. Regardless, the brushes are still fantastic quality, and I don't mind having to glue the barrels back in enough to stop buying brushes from E.L.F.
I think he will get there this year. He has been working his butt off lately. I think the Selena stuff will help and also he was on Johnny's podcast. This is his year. He really never tries to promote much, he is so different in that way 💜 One of the many reasons he is the absolute best MUA to follow
As someone with light medium neutral olive skin I can say without a doubt, I have NEVER found a foundation that matches me perfectly straight out of the bottle. It’s either a touch too warm, or a touch too cool. I have been mixing my foundation for literally 40 years. When I buy foundation, I don’t get hung up on the undertone anymore, I just buy whatever, and then concoct my shade everyday. I just make sure the depth matches…and even then it’s like “meh” whatever, I’ll fix it at home.
@@noodlepoodlegirl They have, and they were all terrible lol. They literally had a machine doing it and it still didn't work. I think it's the lighting in those stores, they probably need to make a booth with consistent lighting for it to work?
Fellow light olive here. Also, oily skin means everything oxidizes! I feel your pain. I've gotten good results skewing slightly lighter and more yellow and adjusting as necessary.
Fair warm-leaning olive here. Had the same experience as you. Cool foundations are too pink, warms are too orange, and neutrals are too red. I've just been buying foundations in formulations I like in my complexion shade and then correcting the undertone with other makeup products to fit
My favorite "rule breaking" advice is using my fingers. I always 7se my fingers for my color corrector/concealer, highlighter, contouring my nose and for at least 1 step of my eyeshadow usually shimmer to pack it on. It works for me better than using brushes for certain steps but not all.
I have two eyeprimers, one is slightly too pink, and one slightly too yellow - so I put one on each middle finger and rub them together so that I get the same shade on both fingers and then eyelids. They’re different brands and different formulas so I’m probably not supposed too, but it works😅
I came across the BEST primer by mistake the other day: I regularly moisturize my face with the Neutrogena moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid, and I applied a bit too much. It left a bit of a tacky layer, so I skipped my primer and just did my makeup. My face didn't budge AT ALL that day! No creasing, cracking, nothing slid off. I was amazed! Now, that moisturizer isn't cheap, but it definitely costs less than the Estee Lauder primer I was trying, and hating. And I can skip a step!
HA in general makes a fantastic hydrating primer. Robert's been recommending HA serum (no moisturiser) as skin prep for oily skinned folks for years now - it really works!
The other useful thing about those super cheap, large brush sets is you really get to experiment with different shapes so when it's time to invest in higher quality, you can really narrow down to your essentials and save money guessing on what you might like best.
My terrible advice is if you’re going out at night and you’re already wearing makeup but it looks kinda bad, literally just put more on top. Like a full face (minus primer). Start with setting spray and use a sponge for liquids and creams so you’re disturbing everything else as little as possible, but for some reason it looks flawless and lasts all night 😅 I didn’t even get pimples from it unless I slept in my makeup… definitely do not recommend sleeping in 2 layers of makeup… honestly would love to see you try this 😂
the first brushes I ever bought were a 30 piece set on amazon over 10 years ago. I still have 4 of them in my daily rotation while the others have been rotated out and replaced. most of them I just didn’t prefer the shape so I gave them to friends but truly it’s not a bad idea at all to get those sets if you take care of them
Same girl, have a lovely set I bought on amazon, which I adore, and they get the job done. Oh, and a Happy St Patrick's weekend to everyone out there. Hugs from Ireland. ☘️ ❤️ 🇮🇪
I bought the essence original brushes. Like not the limited collections but their standalone brush line. And I have 6-7 of them. They're absolutely perfect and don't cost all that much. I've had some for close to 5 years and some are newer but they still perform amazingly. Super soft and work great. I have three eye brushes, and eyeliner brush I don't like as much (too fluffy in my opinion and not as platicky rigid) a concealer brush, a bronzer brush and a foundation brush. The others I own are an old Kiko flat brush and a Lottie London flat concealer brush. But essence wins this one. If you don't want to buy a full set that you may use only half of this is a great alternative.
Most of my brushes are cheap, but I finally splurged on a few Sigma brushes I got on sale and I get the hype now. BUT, one of my fave ginormous powder brushes came from Claire's. If I do splurge again, I'd choose Sigma over It Cosmetics brushes tho.
I was a young goth babybat in high school when I started contouring my face with black eyeshadow haha but that evolved into me using a nude in the Naked 2 palette as my contour shade. It just blends so easily.
It's good advice but what are you supposed to do when you run out of that shade 😅 I don't want to buy an entire eyeshadow palette just to use one shade for contour! It's a good hack to find your shade, I guess, since you can then look for contours that look similar. But it's not a permanent solution, really
OMG, fellow pro MUA here, and YES to ALL of this!!!! I've done and continue to do all of these suggestions all of the time. Lol I think that's why us MUAs are truly "artists" versus "consumers": we get dud product that isn't serving it's intended purpose so we get creative and re-purpose it for something else and then all of a sudden it becomes a new favorite technique. Lol 💯💯💯
Another tip if you have problems with your foundation, which really worked for my dry skin. Skip primer. Skipping primer makes my foundation sit a lot better on my skin, as long as I’ve prepped my skin. It also lasts longer, which is ironic.
I use a lot eyeshadows for contour. Plus even as blusher, if I want to match my makeup more. And sometimes I also add it over lipstick. It's just imagination and creativity when it comes to makeup.
I'm glad you mentioned brushes. I received a set of Colourpop brushes as a gift and I have a few Elf brushes as well. I use them more often than my pricier brushes. I clean them after every use, hang them to dry, and they are all in great shape. And I keep them in a pencil case 😀
@Thinker Bella I loop a small elastic around the handle, behind a clothes hanger then back over the top and around the brush handle again. Yikes, that's really long/ bad instructions 😆
Love this! Same goes for blush - nude eyeshadows work amazingly well, especially if you struggle with blush looking too bright. Helps to powder first (better blending, less patchy) or dip the brush between the shadow and face powder a few times, then tap and swirl in a palette lid a few times so the brush is loaded up with a nice mixture
My bad makeup advice that actually works is using a peach toned lipstick as a colour corrector for the undereye. The moisturising ingredients in lipstick stop them getting too crepe-y as well so it's a win win for me, but then my skin is drier than the Sahara so it might not work for everyone 😅
Here's my advice. I have super dry skin everywhere except my eyelids and my forehead. After my serums, I apply raw cocoa butter all over my face (including forehead) and I top it off with lotion WITHOUT dimethicone. Anyting with dimethicone can pill or get patchy with makeup. 🤔You'd think you don't want more oil to oily areas like the forehead, but it works for me. As we know, oily skin needs moisturizer too!! This allows me to skip primer. The cocoa butter moisturizes but makes my matte foundation stick sooo nice and not look too dry, giving a soft satin finish. If I use a dewy foundation over this base, it looks like glass skin when i use cream products🥰. I set either foundation with very little powder to prevent transferring and cake face. My makeup lasts up to 12 hrs in place!😊
I’ve noticed with concealer that if it’s too warm/yellow for my skin tone… the warmth corrects and looks fine. If it’s too pink, the pink corrects and looks fine! So I barely worry about undertone being slightly off now.
This past month I have found Robert and James, and have fallen totally in love with them! All three channels are wonderful! I appreciate their humor and company more than I can tell...a lonely time in my life is bearable because of these two. Thank you, my sweet friends.
@@madamedex5989 I’ve seen little bits of Marcus through his editing, and two or three impromptu screen appearances, and he’s hilarious and quiet and deep and sweet! I really like him. Does he have his own channel as well? I’ll do a little research…
As a pasty white person I have rarely found a foundation that has been light enough for my skin, and one that suits my sensitive skin. Lo and behold after some research Neutrogena has a sensitive skin line of liquid foundations. I ordered one that looked like it might be my shade, and it was! It wasn’t even the lightest one either! It has worked out for me so well. I’m so happy with it.
I’ve actually had a lot of luck with too-dark under eye concealer, with a little foundation over top. Something about the darker shade seems to give better coverage sometimes 🤷🏻♀️
You're super right about the eyeshadow multitasking for other areas. I'm Dark/Deep with under eye hyperpigmentation. Sometimes even with a CC beneath my concealer, a little darkness peeks through because I didn't let the CC sit long enough before blending. What I'll do is use a JudyDoll ORANGE powder blush that I picked up recently to lightly go over the darker peek through. K/J Beauty products are often a little sheer and takes a heck of a lotta build up for folks in my complexion range. This helps me do a little color correcting without worrying about disturbing the layers of makeup I've already applied which is what has happened when I've tried to apply a little more cream concealer over setting powder. An orange eyeshadow or blush from US/UK brands are too pigmented for this trick to work but the K/J Beauty stuff has been very handy for the last few months for me!
I've said for years that I wish companies would bring out foundations in very small bottles for half the price, and allow us to mix our own. I know lots of companies have been grilled in the past for not coming out without enough of a shade range (especially deeper skin tones!!) but if a company brought out 30 shades, from almost black to almost white in a neutral tone, and brought out separate undertone mixers in like a P Louise-style squeezy tube, I would absolutely buy them. I know this isn't convenient for everyone but I feel like it would be good for people who struggle.
8:18 honestly, I use bronzer as eyeshadow a lot. It works really well with cream and liquid eyeshadows. I pop some in my crease and I basically have a full glam look with no effort. Also, in a pinch, I’ve used bronzer to fill in my brows on occasion.
I'm so oily that I usually just wash my face, moisturize and by the time I'm done putting my body lotion on...my face is ready for foundation. It has been the best for my oily, large pore skin. I blot a lot less, the makeup stays in place way better and if I need to touch up it actually touches up instead of making it worse and sliding my makeup everywhere lol. That was solid advice right there! 👍
Thank you Robert! I’ve always been so worried about the concealer part that I never actually do concealer under my eyes. It’s sooo difficult to find my shade, in any brand, and I don’t want to keep wasting money/product.
I've heard to not use powder after eyeshadow primer, but I do it so that my eyeshadow blends and the base isn't sticky😅 I don't know if this is bad advise tho, since some others do it as well...🤔
Not me saying your whole intro along with you every time I watch a video. 💜 I'm excited to watch this even though I don't wear anything that isn't eyeshadow lol.
I love how I’m watching you’re video and right underneath is a chewy add , for a second I thought you came out with dog clothes and I’m like yassssssss! I want them all but it’s not your brand 😂
💯 agree about the brushes! I love my high-end ones, but I have a few Eco-Tools eyeshadow brushes that I legit bought in 2009 and they are still perfect!! Highly recommended 👌
I have to say the last trick is the best. I use to always have zero issues with foundation application now that I over prep I have so many bad days. I realized a simple routine is the best. Less on the face is better! Love all your content definately one of my favorite for beauty advice!
I love you advice staying eyeshadow palettes can contain your ideal highlight and contour! I literally lost everything I own after losing stable housing, including my giant case of makeup (I literally had a toothbrush and and the shirt on my back). After I was able to buy some essentials I found tarte's Amazon pro remix palette on sale for a couple bucks (it was released 4 or so years ago) to use in the meantime...I found out (to my delight) the neutrals in the color story I could use for so many things! I use the matte black for eyeliner and mix it with the light brown for a perfect eyebrow powder. I also use the light brown as a contouring shade. I use the lighter pink metallic as a highlight and use the matte cream color in my waterline a nude liner and use it (sparingly) to set under eye concealer...I would have never thought how versatile eyeshadow can be with a little creativity,😁 Thank you, Robert, for the solid advice and for brightening up.my day 🖤🖤🖤
I was watching a drugstore makeup channel, and the influencer suggested a makeup brush set that she had found on Amazon that had surprised her with such great quality. I immediately bought the set, knowing that items don't last long on Amazon. These are my favorite brushes that I own, over some of my high end ones! Like you said, sometimes you can get lucky on Amazon or Ebay!!
I think traveling with only a foundation, few cheap brushes and the pallet from the Hindash made me learn how to work with what I have. The Hindash pallet is the only product I've ever bought cause of an influencer review (Robert), also the most expensive item I own (I can't afford expensive makeup) and I got no regrets, I love it every time I use it as blush, setting power, contour..
I was a loyal L’Oréal True Match customer for YEARS until they suddenly changed the formulation and my usual shade not only became darker but is started to split and settle on my lines and my skin started to look bad. Then to make everything worse, I bought the concealer from Amazon and within an hour of applying it I had chemical burns under my eyes. It was so bad because I was on my way to a party and I didn’t realise until I got there and people were looking at me funny because my skin was becoming red, inflamed and sore. I checked and checked the seller and as far as I could see, it was a genuine product. I also read that several people had similar reactions. It was the and only time that I bought cosmetics from Amazon, I’ll never know whether it was a fake or not.
my first brush set was from Amazon! my main set now is by Elf and they're the best brushes I've used and have lasted longer than even my Morphe ones, which haven't even lasted a year.
Oh the eyeshadow for contour TOTALLY. I actually have one that i love. The shade Lotus from the scarlet dusk palette by Ace Beauté. I wish i could find a bigger product in that shade because it works so well with my skintone
Sheer orange lipstain is what shocks most people about my makeup routine (looks so flattering & warms up my cold mauve lips - I have cool lips & warm toned skin lol), but it is getting more "normal" here. My other old "bad advice" move was burn-bronzing with blush, which used to shock my friends or fellow gym-goers, but now it's very standard. And I've been doing subtle little eyeliner wings to widen my eyes for 20 years, back in 03 that was also considered very weird. Lol my "normal" routine used to be very odd, but most of my one-of-a-kind techniques are regular now, which is kind of a bummer, tbh, but that's probably a character flaw in me. I can't even pull a "I'm not like other girls" anymore 😂
I've literally been messing around the last one when it comes to my foundation lately. Unless I shower 30/40 minutes before I apply my makeup...I look cakey af. So I've been cutting back on my prep, sometimes just doing a serum and some hydrating lotion on my dry areas and it's actually really helping. I think I might need some more help with getting my foundation to stick to my nose but the most helpful thing I've found so far, surprisingly, was a thin layer of eyeshadow primer lol.
Want to try cream blush or can't fine that nude ish cream blush for you? Try your nude (or any shade you love) lipstick. Use a little at a time on a small brush to place and tap and blend with warm finger tips till you have the right look for you. If to sticky use a clearish powder to set.
Lol it's the intro for me ❤😂, and lol about the brushes I've learned that their are some decent drugstore brushes but sometimes spending a bit more on a higher end brush is worth it.
My bad advice is to avoid buying blushes all together, especially if you are on a budget. Use your eyeshadows instead of powder blushes, use a fluffy blush to pick it up, work it a little on your hand to diffuse the pigment then apply it on your face lightly building it up. Instead of a cream blush buy one of those cream face paint palette (UCANBE has a good one that is also affordable), this way you can even customize the colour of your blush by mixing different colours (this is also a great way to practice colour theory if you struggle with It!) and you can use the same cream palette to customize your foundations, to colour correct, to cream bronze/contour, etc.. For best application i recommend either a small dense brush or one of those flat sponges/applicators (the ones popular in Kbeauty that you often find in cushion foundations), either way you should tap to diffuse and check the product on the back of your hand before applying on your cheeks, then blend it with your base. Aaand this is why I never bought a blush in my life but my cheeks always pop✨
Yes I have actually been using my soft lipsticks now for a liquid blush feel and works like a charm, just gotta now how to use it. I love my lipsticks more than my actual blush palettes I bought lol
I've always done this, as well as use lipstick or lip liner. Even as oily skinned girl, I think powder blush is too limited in what you can use it for to be worth the price. And if you buy a shade you don't like, it's such a waste. At least with the other things you can adjust the tones as needed. Much harder to do that with powder blush
I do this a lot and it usually works great. Good advice to put it on your hand first. I've had a perfect face of makeup and gone into my eyeshadow palette for a finishing touch with a slightly too large brush and ended up with a green steak across my cheek that wasn't too easy to fix
Robert, I must tell you how much your videos have helped me. I have had the worst week and weekend. I have been binge-watching all your videos to help make me laugh and smile or to help take my mind off of things. Please keep doing what you're doing because even though you do makeup, you also do a lot more!! ❤❤
Yep. Last week I had the week from hell, and whenever I'm super low I watch The Welsh Twins, which generally leads me to side-splitting laughter. Agreed, sis. Hope things are better for ya. Sending tons of light and love.
I LOVE using my eyeshadow and blushes for highlight and contour for my cosplay makeup! I try to avoid using mehron paints to color my skin when possible, so it really comes in handy!
Some of my fave makeup brushes come from primark, poundland and Homebargains. I reach for these brushes more than my other branded and more expensive ones. Same with beauty blenders
Once in while we went terrible advice. Lol I have to admit there are times were I can not put out a large amount of money at once. One time I was desperate for new brushes, & purchased inexpensive brushes.(to use on myself) They worked great. I knew thought they would not last as long. So I was Actually more gentle when cleaning them. They lasted to my liking around 7or 8 months. Because they were not expensive, I was able to buy them again. I think when people buy expensive produces, they are organically gentle with it. Recently so because they put out a lot of money. I think if we keep that in mind for inexpensive products, to more gentle because they are not as well made. They can last longer. Just a thought and opinion😉💕
I’ve given up trying to find my shade in foundations. I need a neutral fair/light olive. I just get a “neutral” or yellow undertoned foundation and add a blue mixer to it. That always gives me a perfect match. Takes at *most* 60 extra seconds. Worth it 🙌🏼
Robert Dahhlinng, it is so great to see your handsome face today!😃🤗 I hope you've been doing well. Have a beautifully blessed Sunday and week ahead.🙏😇💖 P.S. WEDNESDAY yes! The only other important day!🤭😂🤣❤️
Robert xo I would love to see your make-up techniques demonstrated on someone I think it would be great to see, I'd be so into seeing your art on different faces, just an idea😊 Thank you ❤from Australia 🇦🇺
I let myself go after I had my twins over 6 years ago (had a 4 yr old going on 5 too) and I've lost touch with makeup, even with my basic routine. I was just searching Amazon last night for a new brush set bc I do want to start feeling better for myself. I planned on searching your page for this info today and here you are with an upload! Ty so much, you've helped me a lot!
I bought my brush set on Ebay (probably like 10 ys ago). They're fake Zoeva. I still have them all and the small, inner corner brush us by far the best. I haven't managed to get a similar one since. Oh, and I also have a few bigger brushes from Revlon. They work perfectly and they're 40 + ys old. I like taking care of my things, they last me long.
@@barbthegreat586 I've literally never used eBay! Lol I don't really know brands either, so I feel at a disadvantage, but I know Revlon. Ty for your input, definitely appreciate it.
Aw, don't phrase it like that. Having a newborn already makes it difficult to keep up your routine, and you had two of them AND a toddler! Don't be so hard on yourself for putting their needs above your own - it just means you did your best as their mum ❤
It's always a good day when we have a new vídeo. Robert is so funny and explains everything so well. I learn so much with these vídeos. Thank you Robert. 💜✨
@@victorianokes9043 I watch their videos when I'm having a bad day-the other day was particularly bad, so I binged them, and they had me laughing so hard my stomach was cramping and I was crying! The best pick-me-up ever!
My terrible advice is to use your fingers for your eyeshadow shimmers and your foundation! I do a quick soft glam for work everyday and use this technique. I get compliments and sometimes asked how long I spent getting ready. People think I’m a pro when I say 10-15 min max!
Grey pinks are seriously great contour , grey plums for deeper skin or for higher drama on fairer skin , especially for those fierce chiseled makeup eras, fashion magazine heyday stuff, thinking of Iman, Christy Turlington sort of vibe. A full face with dramatic distinct features, all carved out to the gods. So bold and powerful without being costumey.
I buy artists brushes from an arts and crafts store for makeup. There’s a very good selection of small and very small detail brushes and lots of angled brushes. The brushes also have very long stems, or whatever you call the stick, which is nive when using. Also super long lasting and very cost efficient.
I’ve mixed in two concealers plenty of times, especially in winter. One was too dark for me in winter, while the other was too light. Mixing in the darker concealer, then lighter on top to create my light-medium shade for winter.
I seriously can't get over this eye look on you, Rob - I watched when the video came out, and had to come back just to tell you how much it makes your eyes pop. Like, it literally looks like your eyes are a bit bigger & reminds me of anime eyes so much 🥰
Such valuable advice, he is so knowledgeable, and it is very refreshing to hear a professional discuss alternatives and hacks if you are in a pinch with cheaper products
This video idea was brilliant! I agreed on so many levels , the Real Techniques Brushes are actually really good too, even their version of the beauty blender 💜
For me I am a neutral with a dash of warm like 85% neutral and 15% warm. So many foundations even those that say neutral are yellow or a literal salmon peach shade on me. And warm is too warm. Likewise I find that the lightest neutral or warm are too dark and not the same shade of their cool toned options, its like they think that all pale people are cool toned. I need milk coloured shade as i am so pale but i need that warmish neutral undertone otherwise i look ill. Your point about conclear, i feel personally i skip it as the shadow or darkness creates depth to the face and structure. And due to texture and movement under there concealer doesnt look nice, i also remark to myself that i looked better without then with. But my personal style is alt,grunge,goth vibe so having tired looking eyes fits well.
Such a fun video ❤ I agree about the brushes. I use Japanese fude brushes and cheapies from the beauty supply store, too. One of my favorite eyeshadow brushes is a small shadow brush from Elizabeth Arden and is easily 25 years old. There’s good to be found at every price point and items can last much longer than they tell you.
Drug store foundation has always been my go-to. Mixing and matching it is a must for me because where I live many stores didn't sell my shade till a few years ago. It was the drugs stores that I had the browns
Not really makeup related, but skin related- I have oily skin and unfortunately, because of economic reasons, I've kinda been forced to really downsize the amount of products I use to an absolute minimum lately, and so I only use three things for my face at the moment; Cerave foaming cleanser, shredded raw potato that I wash off after about 30 min, and then a moisturizing sunblock. That's it. And my skin has never looked better, with or without makeup.
Oh, Robert! I adore the info in this video because it sounds like what a lot of us have been doing since before all the lines carried all the things for every purpose. I used to manage a department store counter and often improvised creating edgier looks. Cheers to you!
Overstock stores like Marshall’s and TJ Maxx are also a really great place to snag luxury makeup brushes for a huge discount, I’ve purchased sigma brushes from Marshall’s multiple times because they’re like half the price they would have been at Ulta.

Does anyone have a vegan/CF alternative for Revlon's rum rasin? You know the popular 90s warm born lipstick.
Going to pin this so people can make some suggestions! 🖤🖤
Rum rasin. I used to be obsessed with that color!!
I don't know of any vegan or alternative, but I hope you find one.
Are you in the UK? I don't know that shade, but I love the new Superdrug's own brand brown lipstick. It's matte, and longlasting, but I think they might have a glossy one too. Revolution also had a collab with Soph Does Nails (now Soph does life) and their brown lipstick was beautiful.
Urban Decay- Callback might be a good option.
I have the dupes!! The 2 that are vegan/CF came randomly in my boxycharm lol! Both look fairly different in swatches but are very close on my lips. Unfortunately my lip tone (very cool mauve rose) is probably not exactly the same as yours lol, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction: Ofra liquid lipstick in Canyon, which is much warmer in the bottle but, with a light-med application, looks like a matte rum raisin to me. And Complex Culture Pout Clout lipstick (a long lasting satin-to-matte that does not dry too much) in How Sway, which is a bit darker & browner than Rum Raisin but very similar look on me. Lol I've been doing paler stains lately, but now I m admiring these darker shades, this looks really nice with light spring eye & cheek makeup. Hope this helps, Ofra is $20, complex Culture is $24, but they were in boxes recently, so check Poshmark or Mercari for ppl reselling with better prices. Oh! I looked at Complex Culture's range of lip shades. good news - it looks like there are numerous possible dupes for Rum Raisin, and it is vegan/CF, and is a genuinely nice formula, just seems a bit pricey to my cheap self...
PS now I am admiring this How Sway shade, and noticing that I applied it full strength from the tube to my lips, and didn't need to blot or adjust it to get bold, deep color that does not age me (52, pale & splotchy, love dark lips but usually have to do them carefully). Might just be a perfect shade for me, but the quality actually does seem to be quite good, I may have just assumed that ipsy brands were over priced.
My terrible advice is that undereye concealer isn't always needed. Sometimes it looks better to have darkness under the eye. It adds dimension and in some makeup looks/face structures it balances the eye area nicely.
My terrible advice is to sometimes ignore your colour palette. I am cool toned. But sometimes I want bright orange eyeshadows! Sometimes I want pastels despite being more of a jewel tone person (or “winter”).
It’s okay to experiment with colours that aren’t supposed to look good on you, because sometimes you just want to wear something different and your confidence and excitement can be enough to make you look fantastic in those colours!
I think orange can look so cool(😎) on cool skin tones
@@anastasia.beaverhousen Especially more of a pinkish orange, think salmon or coral color.
it's all about the COLOR THEORY!
I love this one. Yellow supposedly looks bad on me, but it’s my sister fav color so sometimes I rock a shiny yellow eyeshadow cuz she’s gonna be looking at my eyeballs. :-D.
This is a great point! Iris "undertones" (I mean those little flecks in the eye color that might be anywhere from silver to rust) can make a big difference in how your eyes look in certain shades!
If Robert admits to telling us terrible advice then ya know its good advice 😂😂
😂😂🖤🖤🖤
ELF brushes are a good price point and just like Robert said - if you take care of them properly, they'll last for years! I have a bunch of elf brushes and I've had them for like, 5 years or something crazy like that.
I have a few too. I've had no issues with them falling apart or not applying well. My favorite set (I bought 2) is from BH Cosmetics. It was done in collaboration with a guru who I've never heard of but since they were all eye brushes and it was a 9pc set selling for $7.99 at TJ Maxx I said why not. These brushes work so great for my eye shape. A month ago I picked up a few singles from Sigma. I just used 2 of them yesterday. One of them scratched the he!! out of my lids 😢 The other was just okay. I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for either brush because the experience everyone raves about when it comes to that brand was not what I experienced... 🤷♀️
My first makeup brushes were E.L.F. I've had no issues with bristles falling out, getting bent, etc. but several of my brushes have separated from their barrels. I am careful to washa dn dry them upside down, so I don't think it was mishandling that did it. Regardless, the brushes are still fantastic quality, and I don't mind having to glue the barrels back in enough to stop buying brushes from E.L.F.
I love BH brushes!!
I just don’t get why this man has not reached 1M followers yet. He’s absolutely brilliant and a pleasure to watch ❤ deserves way more than 1M tho

He really never tries to promote much, he is so different in that way 💜 One of the many reasons he is the absolute best MUA to follow
As someone with light medium neutral olive skin I can say without a doubt, I have NEVER found a foundation that matches me perfectly straight out of the bottle. It’s either a touch too warm, or a touch too cool. I have been mixing my foundation for literally 40 years. When I buy foundation, I don’t get hung up on the undertone anymore, I just buy whatever, and then concoct my shade everyday. I just make sure the depth matches…and even then it’s like “meh” whatever, I’ll fix it at home.
Why doesn't a brand come out with a custom mixing feature in dept stores or their shops? That would be incredible!
@@noodlepoodlegirl They have, and they were all terrible lol. They literally had a machine doing it and it still didn't work. I think it's the lighting in those stores, they probably need to make a booth with consistent lighting for it to work?
Fellow light olive here. Also, oily skin means everything oxidizes! I feel your pain. I've gotten good results skewing slightly lighter and more yellow and adjusting as necessary.
Fair warm-leaning olive here. Had the same experience as you. Cool foundations are too pink, warms are too orange, and neutrals are too red. I've just been buying foundations in formulations I like in my complexion shade and then correcting the undertone with other makeup products to fit
I have exact same skin as you described and just last year I gave up and started creating my own concoction too. Blue pigment really is a game changer
My favorite "rule breaking" advice is using my fingers. I always 7se my fingers for my color corrector/concealer, highlighter, contouring my nose and for at least 1 step of my eyeshadow usually shimmer to pack it on. It works for me better than using brushes for certain steps but not all.
I have two eyeprimers, one is slightly too pink, and one slightly too yellow - so I put one on each middle finger and rub them together so that I get the same shade on both fingers and then eyelids. They’re different brands and different formulas so I’m probably not supposed too, but it works😅
As long as they're still the same type (water based, oil based, etc) it won't curdle
If it works, it works!! 🖤🖤
I came across the BEST primer by mistake the other day: I regularly moisturize my face with the Neutrogena moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid, and I applied a bit too much. It left a bit of a tacky layer, so I skipped my primer and just did my makeup. My face didn't budge AT ALL that day! No creasing, cracking, nothing slid off. I was amazed!
Now, that moisturizer isn't cheap, but it definitely costs less than the Estee Lauder primer I was trying, and hating. And I can skip a step!
HA in general makes a fantastic hydrating primer. Robert's been recommending HA serum (no moisturiser) as skin prep for oily skinned folks for years now - it really works!
Hi what is the moisturiser called?thanks
@@susufray3601 I think she's talking about Neutrogena hydro boost
The other useful thing about those super cheap, large brush sets is you really get to experiment with different shapes so when it's time to invest in higher quality, you can really narrow down to your essentials and save money guessing on what you might like best.
My terrible advice is if you’re going out at night and you’re already wearing makeup but it looks kinda bad, literally just put more on top. Like a full face (minus primer). Start with setting spray and use a sponge for liquids and creams so you’re disturbing everything else as little as possible, but for some reason it looks flawless and lasts all night 😅 I didn’t even get pimples from it unless I slept in my makeup… definitely do not recommend sleeping in 2 layers of makeup… honestly would love to see you try this 😂
I do this ALL the time! And you're right, it really does look flawless
BEST ADVICE EVER. Yes, I've done this but forgot about it! Highly, HIGHLY recommend! (Thank you for reminding me!)
I just smack powder foundation on top of my almost-gone liquid foundation. It works!
I'm going to have to try this. I usually try to wash my face and second makeup application of the day never looks right even starting from square 1.
@@daniellefaith47 I think taking a shower, but not washing your face can be a good hack. Maybe touch it up first, though.
the first brushes I ever bought were a 30 piece set on amazon over 10 years ago. I still have 4 of them in my daily rotation while the others have been rotated out and replaced. most of them I just didn’t prefer the shape so I gave them to friends but truly it’s not a bad idea at all to get those sets if you take care of them
Exaaaactly!
Same girl, have a lovely set I bought on amazon, which I adore, and they get the job done. Oh, and a Happy St Patrick's weekend to everyone out there. Hugs from Ireland. ☘️ ❤️ 🇮🇪
OMG my favorite blush brush is a brush I bought from CLAIRE’S over 10 years ago. I have so many brushes, but I always go back to that one.
I bought the essence original brushes. Like not the limited collections but their standalone brush line. And I have 6-7 of them. They're absolutely perfect and don't cost all that much. I've had some for close to 5 years and some are newer but they still perform amazingly. Super soft and work great. I have three eye brushes, and eyeliner brush I don't like as much (too fluffy in my opinion and not as platicky rigid) a concealer brush, a bronzer brush and a foundation brush. The others I own are an old Kiko flat brush and a Lottie London flat concealer brush. But essence wins this one. If you don't want to buy a full set that you may use only half of this is a great alternative.
Most of my brushes are cheap, but I finally splurged on a few Sigma brushes I got on sale and I get the hype now. BUT, one of my fave ginormous powder brushes came from Claire's. If I do splurge again, I'd choose Sigma over It Cosmetics brushes tho.
I was a young goth babybat in high school when I started contouring my face with black eyeshadow haha but that evolved into me using a nude in the Naked 2 palette as my contour shade. It just blends so easily.
It's good advice but what are you supposed to do when you run out of that shade 😅 I don't want to buy an entire eyeshadow palette just to use one shade for contour! It's a good hack to find your shade, I guess, since you can then look for contours that look similar. But it's not a permanent solution, really
@@raerohan4241 do they have single eyeshadows?
@@raerohan4241 UD has singles! But I also started using LunatiCK Labs contour book and they sell single refills of every shade.
OMG, fellow pro MUA here, and YES to ALL of this!!!! I've done and continue to do all of these suggestions all of the time. Lol I think that's why us MUAs are truly "artists" versus "consumers": we get dud product that isn't serving it's intended purpose so we get creative and re-purpose it for something else and then all of a sudden it becomes a new favorite technique. Lol 💯💯💯
I definitely overprep my skin all the time trying to get foundation to sit better. And I've had better luck with less products overall.
Another tip if you have problems with your foundation, which really worked for my dry skin. Skip primer. Skipping primer makes my foundation sit a lot better on my skin, as long as I’ve prepped my skin. It also lasts longer, which is ironic.
I agree with this for oily skin too! Once you get oily, having the extra primer layer just makes it more cakey for me.
Yessss ppl think that primer is necessary but doing skincare that works for your skin type can work just as well or even better than a primer.
i agreeeeeeeee!
Agreed!!!
Primer is a scam! ...except eyeshadow primer. The right eye primer is lifechanging :D
I enjoyed watching you on Beautiful and Bothered with Johnny Ross. 💜
Thank you so much Crystal! It was so fun to film, Johnny had such a great talent for hosting ! 🖤
I use a lot eyeshadows for contour. Plus even as blusher, if I want to match my makeup more. And sometimes I also add it over lipstick.
It's just imagination and creativity when it comes to makeup.
HAHAHA "Terrible, terrible advice" *giggles* This is serious, Robert! 😅😅😅
😝🖤🖤🖤
I'm glad you mentioned brushes. I received a set of Colourpop brushes as a gift and I have a few Elf brushes as well. I use them more often than my pricier brushes. I clean them after every use, hang them to dry, and they are all in great shape. And I keep them in a pencil case 😀
How do you hang dry them?
@Thinker Bella I loop a small elastic around the handle, behind a clothes hanger then back over the top and around the brush handle again. Yikes, that's really long/ bad instructions 😆
@Godiva Ferguson lol maybe I'll try that
Love this! Same goes for blush - nude eyeshadows work amazingly well, especially if you struggle with blush looking too bright. Helps to powder first (better blending, less patchy) or dip the brush between the shadow and face powder a few times, then tap and swirl in a palette lid a few times so the brush is loaded up with a nice mixture
My bad makeup advice that actually works is using a peach toned lipstick as a colour corrector for the undereye. The moisturising ingredients in lipstick stop them getting too crepe-y as well so it's a win win for me, but then my skin is drier than the Sahara so it might not work for everyone 😅
*"drier than the Sahara"..* 💀 I've done this too. 💜💜💜
I'd love to see a video of you testing color match quizzes and seeing how close or far off they are
I love that idea!
Here's my advice. I have super dry skin everywhere except my eyelids and my forehead. After my serums, I apply raw cocoa butter all over my face (including forehead) and I top it off with lotion WITHOUT dimethicone. Anyting with dimethicone can pill or get patchy with makeup. 🤔You'd think you don't want more oil to oily areas like the forehead, but it works for me. As we know, oily skin needs moisturizer too!!
This allows me to skip primer. The cocoa butter moisturizes but makes my matte foundation stick sooo nice and not look too dry, giving a soft satin finish. If I use a dewy foundation over this base, it looks like glass skin when i use cream products🥰. I set either foundation with very little powder to prevent transferring and cake face. My makeup lasts up to 12 hrs in place!😊
I’ve noticed with concealer that if it’s too warm/yellow for my skin tone… the warmth corrects and looks fine. If it’s too pink, the pink corrects and looks fine! So I barely worry about undertone being slightly off now.
This past month I have found Robert and James, and have fallen totally in love with them! All three channels are wonderful! I appreciate their humor and company more than I can tell...a lonely time in my life is bearable because of these two. Thank you, my sweet friends.
I've just discovered Marcus is quite lovely too, if you like a bit of introspection and music.
you should also check out their podcast, The Double Cleanse. It is a great time also!
@@nicoleortiz9884 I’ll will! Spring cleaning is here, today, officially, so I’ll listen while I clean. Thanks for the recommend!
@@madamedex5989 I’ve seen little bits of Marcus through his editing, and two or three impromptu screen appearances, and he’s hilarious and quiet and deep and sweet! I really like him. Does he have his own channel as well? I’ll do a little research…
As a pasty white person I have rarely found a foundation that has been light enough for my skin, and one that suits my sensitive skin. Lo and behold after some research Neutrogena has a sensitive skin line of liquid foundations. I ordered one that looked like it might be my shade, and it was! It wasn’t even the lightest one either! It has worked out for me so well. I’m so happy with it.
I’d love to see a “Keep it, fix it, dump it” But where you actually show us how to make the bad ones work.
I’ve actually had a lot of luck with too-dark under eye concealer, with a little foundation over top. Something about the darker shade seems to give better coverage sometimes 🤷🏻♀️
You're super right about the eyeshadow multitasking for other areas. I'm Dark/Deep with under eye hyperpigmentation. Sometimes even with a CC beneath my concealer, a little darkness peeks through because I didn't let the CC sit long enough before blending. What I'll do is use a JudyDoll ORANGE powder blush that I picked up recently to lightly go over the darker peek through. K/J Beauty products are often a little sheer and takes a heck of a lotta build up for folks in my complexion range.
This helps me do a little color correcting without worrying about disturbing the layers of makeup I've already applied which is what has happened when I've tried to apply a little more cream concealer over setting powder.
An orange eyeshadow or blush from US/UK brands are too pigmented for this trick to work but the K/J Beauty stuff has been very handy for the last few months for me!
I've said for years that I wish companies would bring out foundations in very small bottles for half the price, and allow us to mix our own. I know lots of companies have been grilled in the past for not coming out without enough of a shade range (especially deeper skin tones!!) but if a company brought out 30 shades, from almost black to almost white in a neutral tone, and brought out separate undertone mixers in like a P Louise-style squeezy tube, I would absolutely buy them. I know this isn't convenient for everyone but I feel like it would be good for people who struggle.
8:18 honestly, I use bronzer as eyeshadow a lot. It works really well with cream and liquid eyeshadows. I pop some in my crease and I basically have a full glam look with no effort. Also, in a pinch, I’ve used bronzer to fill in my brows on occasion.
I agree with the more expensive brushes
Robert's chuckle just makes my day... So addictive and you can't help but smile 😁
When I start his video I'm just praying he will laugh lol. Adorable.
I love your eye look! I can never get that halo-ish eye correct. If you do a tutorial again I’d love to see a look like this!
I'm so oily that I usually just wash my face, moisturize and by the time I'm done putting my body lotion on...my face is ready for foundation. It has been the best for my oily, large pore skin. I blot a lot less, the makeup stays in place way better and if I need to touch up it actually touches up instead of making it worse and sliding my makeup everywhere lol. That was solid advice right there! 👍
Thank you Robert! I’ve always been so worried about the concealer part that I never actually do concealer under my eyes. It’s sooo difficult to find my shade, in any brand, and I don’t want to keep wasting money/product.
Some of my favorite brushes I bought from Target years ago and they still look good. I love e.l.f. brushes too.
I've heard to not use powder after eyeshadow primer, but I do it so that my eyeshadow blends and the base isn't sticky😅 I don't know if this is bad advise tho, since some others do it as well...🤔
Ooohhh we all need a cheat
sheet 🎉 you're awesome for helping us.
Thank you, Robert 🖤

Love this “terrible” aka practical make up advice content. Thanks, Robert!

"Really bad advice, don't take that advise - but tryyyy it!" 🤣😆🧡 Pure gold!!
Not me saying your whole intro along with you every time I watch a video. 💜 I'm excited to watch this even though I don't wear anything that isn't eyeshadow lol.

I love how I’m watching you’re video and right underneath is a chewy add , for a second I thought you came out with dog clothes and I’m like yassssssss! I want them all but it’s not your brand 😂
Love these kinds of tips, super helpful for day to day issues 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you Sheila!! 🖤🖤🖤
💯 agree about the brushes! I love my high-end ones, but I have a few Eco-Tools eyeshadow brushes that I legit bought in 2009 and they are still perfect!! Highly recommended 👌
I have to say the last trick is the best. I use to always have zero issues with foundation application now that I over prep I have so many bad days. I realized a simple routine is the best. Less on the face is better! Love all your content definately one of my favorite for beauty advice!
I love you advice staying eyeshadow palettes can contain your ideal highlight and contour! I literally lost everything I own after losing stable housing, including my giant case of makeup (I literally had a toothbrush and and the shirt on my back).
After I was able to buy some essentials I found tarte's Amazon pro remix palette on sale for a couple bucks (it was released 4 or so years ago) to use in the meantime...I found out (to my delight) the neutrals in the color story I could use for so many things! I use the matte black for eyeliner and mix it with the light brown for a perfect eyebrow powder. I also use the light brown as a contouring shade. I use the lighter pink metallic as a highlight and use the matte cream color in my waterline a nude liner and use it (sparingly) to set under eye concealer...I would have never thought how versatile eyeshadow can be with a little creativity,😁
Thank you, Robert, for the solid advice and for brightening up.my day 🖤🖤🖤
Off topic- I am training at Sephora and was watching the Fenty Beauty Behind the Brand video when I saw your face and when I say I was GEEKED ❤
Great video. I would love for you to do a video showing this because I'm more of a Seeing person to learn what you mean.
Literally my favorite makeup artist in the world. I would give anything for him to do my makeup.
I agree with just the foundation! I struggled so hard with primers, gave up and started foundation alone. It's so much better!
I was watching a drugstore makeup channel, and the influencer suggested a makeup brush set that she had found on Amazon that had surprised her with such great quality. I immediately bought the set, knowing that items don't last long on Amazon. These are my favorite brushes that I own, over some of my high end ones! Like you said, sometimes you can get lucky on Amazon or Ebay!!
I think traveling with only a foundation, few cheap brushes and the pallet from the Hindash made me learn how to work with what I have. The Hindash pallet is the only product I've ever bought cause of an influencer review (Robert), also the most expensive item I own (I can't afford expensive makeup) and I got no regrets, I love it every time I use it as blush, setting power, contour..
Yes I put makeup in the other day without skin prep and it look amazing 😍
I was a loyal L’Oréal True Match customer for YEARS
until they suddenly changed the formulation and my usual shade not only became darker but is started to split and settle on my lines and my skin started to look bad. Then to make everything worse, I bought the concealer from Amazon and within an hour of applying it I had chemical burns under my eyes. It was so bad because I was on my way to a party and I didn’t realise until I got there and people were looking at me funny because my skin was becoming red, inflamed and sore. I checked and checked the seller and as far as
I could see, it was a genuine product. I also read that several people had similar reactions. It was the and only time that I bought cosmetics from Amazon, I’ll never know whether it was a fake or not.
Wow Robert, this is your purpose! You flowed perfectly teaching this video. You can tell how much experience you have had in this video ALONE. 👏👏👏👏
my first brush set was from Amazon! my main set now is by Elf and they're the best brushes I've used and have lasted longer than even my Morphe ones, which haven't even lasted a year.
Oh the eyeshadow for contour TOTALLY. I actually have one that i love. The shade Lotus from the scarlet dusk palette by Ace Beauté. I wish i could find a bigger product in that shade because it works so well with my skintone
Sheer orange lipstain is what shocks most people about my makeup routine (looks so flattering & warms up my cold mauve lips - I have cool lips & warm toned skin lol), but it is getting more "normal" here. My other old "bad advice" move was burn-bronzing with blush, which used to shock my friends or fellow gym-goers, but now it's very standard. And I've been doing subtle little eyeliner wings to widen my eyes for 20 years, back in 03 that was also considered very weird. Lol my "normal" routine used to be very odd, but most of my one-of-a-kind techniques are regular now, which is kind of a bummer, tbh, but that's probably a character flaw in me. I can't even pull a "I'm not like other girls" anymore 😂
I'm here for the ghost stories, but I'm first and always here for the makeup Jackiesss
🖤🖤🖤🖤
@@RobertWelsh omg a reply?!?! *dies thanks so much😭literally made my day❤️🩹❤️🩹
I've literally been messing around the last one when it comes to my foundation lately. Unless I shower 30/40 minutes before I apply my makeup...I look cakey af. So I've been cutting back on my prep, sometimes just doing a serum and some hydrating lotion on my dry areas and it's actually really helping. I think I might need some more help with getting my foundation to stick to my nose but the most helpful thing I've found so far, surprisingly, was a thin layer of eyeshadow primer lol.
Want to try cream blush or can't fine that nude ish cream blush for you? Try your nude (or any shade you love) lipstick. Use a little at a time on a small brush to place and tap and blend with warm finger tips till you have the right look for you. If to sticky use a clearish powder to set.
Lol it's the intro for me ❤😂, and lol about the brushes I've learned that their are some decent drugstore brushes but sometimes spending a bit more on a higher end brush is worth it.
My bad advice is to avoid buying blushes all together, especially if you are on a budget. Use your eyeshadows instead of powder blushes, use a fluffy blush to pick it up, work it a little on your hand to diffuse the pigment then apply it on your face lightly building it up. Instead of a cream blush buy one of those cream face paint palette (UCANBE has a good one that is also affordable), this way you can even customize the colour of your blush by mixing different colours (this is also a great way to practice colour theory if you struggle with It!) and you can use the same cream palette to customize your foundations, to colour correct, to cream bronze/contour, etc..
For best application i recommend either a small dense brush or one of those flat sponges/applicators (the ones popular in Kbeauty that you often find in cushion foundations), either way you should tap to diffuse and check the product on the back of your hand before applying on your cheeks, then blend it with your base.
Aaand this is why I never bought a blush in my life but my cheeks always pop✨
Yes I have actually been using my soft lipsticks now for a liquid blush feel and works like a charm, just gotta now how to use it. I love my lipsticks more than my actual blush palettes I bought lol
I've always done this, as well as use lipstick or lip liner. Even as oily skinned girl, I think powder blush is too limited in what you can use it for to be worth the price. And if you buy a shade you don't like, it's such a waste. At least with the other things you can adjust the tones as needed. Much harder to do that with powder blush
I do this a lot and it usually works great. Good advice to put it on your hand first. I've had a perfect face of makeup and gone into my eyeshadow palette for a finishing touch with a slightly too large brush and ended up with a green steak across my cheek that wasn't too easy to fix
Robert, I must tell you how much your videos have helped me. I have had the worst week and weekend. I have been binge-watching all your videos to help make me laugh and smile or to help take my mind off of things. Please keep doing what you're doing because even though you do makeup, you also do a lot more!! ❤❤
Yep. Last week I had the week from hell, and whenever I'm super low I watch The Welsh Twins, which generally leads me to side-splitting laughter. Agreed, sis. Hope things are better for ya. Sending tons of light and love.
I LOVE using my eyeshadow and blushes for highlight and contour for my cosplay makeup! I try to avoid using mehron paints to color my skin when possible, so it really comes in handy!
Some of my fave makeup brushes come from primark, poundland and Homebargains. I reach for these brushes more than my other branded and more expensive ones. Same with beauty blenders
I have a set of brushes from E.L.F. They work beautifully. Pretty sure Robert recommended them; so thanks much, Robert 🖤 💜

Once in while we went terrible advice. Lol
I have to admit there are times were I can not put out a large amount of money at once.
One time I was desperate for new brushes, & purchased inexpensive brushes.(to use on myself)
They worked great. I knew thought they would not last as long. So I was
Actually more gentle when cleaning them.
They lasted to my liking around 7or 8 months. Because they were not expensive, I was able to buy them again.
I think when people buy expensive produces, they are organically gentle with it. Recently so because they put out a lot of money.
I think if we keep that in mind for inexpensive products, to more gentle because they are not as well made.
They can last longer.
Just a thought and opinion😉💕
I’ve given up trying to find my shade in foundations. I need a neutral fair/light olive. I just get a “neutral” or yellow undertoned foundation and add a blue mixer to it. That always gives me a perfect match. Takes at *most* 60 extra seconds. Worth it 🙌🏼
I have SO many eyeshadow pallets, I’ll definitely give this a try!

I hope you've been doing well. Have a beautifully blessed Sunday and week ahead.🙏😇💖

I let myself go after I had my twins over 6 years ago (had a 4 yr old going on 5 too) and I've lost touch with makeup, even with my basic routine.

Ty so much, you've helped me a lot!
I bought my brush set on Ebay (probably like 10 ys ago). They're fake Zoeva. I still have them all and the small, inner corner brush us by far the best. I haven't managed to get a similar one since.
Oh, and I also have a few bigger brushes from Revlon. They work perfectly and they're 40 + ys old. I like taking care of my things, they last me long.

My terrible advice is to use your fingers for your eyeshadow shimmers and your foundation! I do a quick soft glam for work everyday and use this technique. I get compliments and sometimes asked how long I spent getting ready. People think I’m a pro when I say 10-15 min max!
Hi Robert. ❤ I have been getting back into Makeup and I love watching your videos no matter what!
Thank you so so much Bethany! 🖤🖤🖤
Grey pinks are seriously great contour , grey plums for deeper skin or for higher drama on fairer skin , especially for those fierce chiseled makeup eras, fashion magazine heyday stuff, thinking of Iman, Christy Turlington sort of vibe. A full face with dramatic distinct features, all carved out to the gods. So bold and powerful without being costumey.
Robert, you are so close to a million subs! Come on everyone, show Robert some love and subscribe!! Sending lots of love and positive vibes💕❤💕
As a hobby painter, I love mixing foundations :) It is all about passion :)
I buy artists brushes from an arts and crafts store for makeup. There’s a very good selection of small and very small detail brushes and lots of angled brushes. The brushes also have very long stems, or whatever you call the stick, which is nive when using. Also super long lasting and very cost efficient.
You’re so funny & cute 😁 Thank you for the tips and money saving advice.
Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
I’ve mixed in two concealers plenty of times, especially in winter. One was too dark for me in winter, while the other was too light. Mixing in the darker concealer, then lighter on top to create my light-medium shade for winter.
I seriously can't get over this eye look on you, Rob - I watched when the video came out, and had to come back just to tell you how much it makes your eyes pop. Like, it literally looks like your eyes are a bit bigger & reminds me of anime eyes so much 🥰
Such valuable advice, he is so knowledgeable, and it is very refreshing to hear a professional discuss alternatives and hacks if you are in a pinch with cheaper products
Mad at TH-cam for unsubbing me for a little while but I’m glad I’m back on the list. Robert knows what he’s talking about 💯
This video idea was brilliant! I agreed on so many levels , the Real Techniques Brushes are actually really good too, even their version of the beauty blender 💜
For me I am a neutral with a dash of warm like 85% neutral and 15% warm. So many foundations even those that say neutral are yellow or a literal salmon peach shade on me. And warm is too warm. Likewise I find that the lightest neutral or warm are too dark and not the same shade of their cool toned options, its like they think that all pale people are cool toned. I need milk coloured shade as i am so pale but i need that warmish neutral undertone otherwise i look ill. Your point about conclear, i feel personally i skip it as the shadow or darkness creates depth to the face and structure. And due to texture and movement under there concealer doesnt look nice, i also remark to myself that i looked better without then with. But my personal style is alt,grunge,goth vibe so having tired looking eyes fits well.
Such a fun video ❤ I agree about the brushes. I use Japanese fude brushes and cheapies from the beauty supply store, too. One of my favorite eyeshadow brushes is a small shadow brush from Elizabeth Arden and is easily 25 years old. There’s good to be found at every price point and items can last much longer than they tell you.
Drug store foundation has always been my go-to. Mixing and matching it is a must for me because where I live many stores didn't sell my shade till a few years ago. It was the drugs stores that I had the browns
Not really makeup related, but skin related- I have oily skin and unfortunately, because of economic reasons, I've kinda been forced to really downsize the amount of products I use to an absolute minimum lately, and so I only use three things for my face at the moment; Cerave foaming cleanser, shredded raw potato that I wash off after about 30 min, and then a moisturizing sunblock. That's it. And my skin has never looked better, with or without makeup.
I'd really appreciate seeing a demo of using a grey/cool colored eyeshadow to fix the tone of a conure.
Oh, Robert! I adore the info in this video because it sounds like what a lot of us have been doing since before all the lines carried all the things for every purpose. I used to manage a department store counter and often improvised creating edgier looks. Cheers to you!
Overstock stores like Marshall’s and TJ Maxx are also a really great place to snag luxury makeup brushes for a huge discount, I’ve purchased sigma brushes from Marshall’s multiple times because they’re like half the price they would have been at Ulta.
