Doing My Makeup Using Techniques I Hate! 

The biggest reason why I love Robert's videos is that unlike 75% of beauty RU-vidrs nowadays, he speaks very clearly and calmly without shouting and exaggerating everything and he doesn't use excess editing or background music. Just pure, honest professionalism. Mad respect. ✌🏻

completely lost it when he couldn't finish his sentence from laughing at seeing himself in the mirror after he put that contour on 🤣

“they don’t use, um, -WHEEZE-“ “they don’t use like a contour sh-WHEEZE-“ 😂😂😂

“some people are like ‘but i love baking, looks fine on me’ and i see the make up and i’m like hmmm... what do you consider fine?” IM DYING IF LAUGHTERHABRJELBAHSJAHA

robert aggresively applying primer while talking about how unnecessary it is is so funny

Someone: "I love baking, it looks fine on me" Rob: "Ummm.. What do you consider 'fine'?" Cracked me up so bad

I find it so interesting when you talk about Fashion Week and how eight minutes is a good amount of time to do the model's makeup, but then there are tons of challenges like "Doing My Makeup in 5 Minutes" where the person is freaking out because it takes him/her like twenty minutes just to do his/her brows. I think it would be awesome to see you do a video where you time it and show what you do when you only have a limited time to do a look while still looking good.

at the end I was like "but it looks fine!" and then he turned the ring light off and I was like "oh..."

The key Artist: Robert, haven’t you finished your model yet? Robert: No I’m still tapping in the eye primer 👀 I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

therapist: cakey robert can’t hurt you, he’s not real cakey robert: 👁🍰👁

Robert Welsh dying inside for 19 minutes straight

I love when Robert leaves his scar alone. I have a large, visible scar on my cheekbone (right where one would typically put hilighter) and it makes me remember that scars are normal and don’t look bad. They just make you look like a normal, unique human being. Also, the eye primer unibrow cracked me up.

Robert laughing during the contour...... I was dieing

Idea for another video: half of the face instagram makeup, full coverage foundation, bold eyelashes, gigantic eyeliner, overlined lips etc, and the other half a red carpet look, with the techniques you actually love like light foundation, fluffy brows, natural glow and stuff

I find it "fascinating" when these youtubers and Instagramers use a glowy primer, then thick layers of strong-coverage foundation, then tons of powder, extra layers of highlighter and then finish it off with a dewy setting spray. It's like: do you actually understand the difference between dewy and matte?

“Mmm...sickly” will be my motto of the year for everything i love

"and then we blend it in with a sponge"" - "on IG videos, the whole thing disappears because they take it off on camera" and he proceeds to chuckle with no facial expression, he hates it so much xD God this video had so many good moments, like when he wheezes about the orange contour and missing foundation

I wish all "beauty gurus" would turn off their ring lights after doing their makeup to show us what their face looks like in real life. You're awesome Robert!! I've tried that excessive concealer and powder look and let me tell you I looked like trash lmao. My under eyes are pretty creasy and dry to begin with and it just made them 100% worse I looked like I was 80 yrs old. Never again. I don't even wear foundation now, just tinted sunscreen and my face looks fine lol

“It looks fine to me” “mmmmmm what do you consider fine” 😂😂😂😂omg you’re hilarious

"What do you consider fine?" Love that upper-crust English burn. Just the right amount of sarcasm to sound, for a brief moment, genuinely earnest while actually low-key savage XD

WHO ELSE thinks Robert should be the most subscribed mua !? He deserves to be the biggest!

I used to get so annoyed when sephora/make-up store employees would freak-out when I told them that I don't use powder. The fact that it would make my eczema prone and generally super dry skin look bad was baffling to them. They'd always ask me "but how do you keep your face from getting oily during the day?" Like FAM MY FACE DOES NOT GET OILY DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT 'DRY' MEANS??????

"No, I'm still just actually tapping in my eye primer" 😂😂😂 hilarious

When I have kids imma tell them that this was huda beauty.

when Robert says “ Lemme just tell you something “ , you best believe he’s gonna give some great advice 😂🔥🔥💛💛💛

A technique I hate is when people “carve out” their brows above the brow with their far too light concealer they use under their eyes. So it just looks white above their eyebrows and doesn’t blend into their foundation at all. Another “trend” is the severely overly contoured nose that makes the person look like they have a pointy witches nose 🤭

Saw the title and audibly said, "oh, this'll be good." 😂

13:09 "They don't use, um..." *looks at self* *W H E E Z E*

"I thought what I would do..." The audible and visible disgust at the mere idea of what he's about to do to his face is priceless

You’re literally the reason that I stopped baking, and using a bunch of concealer. Honestly, your channel has been an actual godsend😪. It changed how I do most of my makeup. 😂

Robert wheeze-laughing while he "contours" with a brown concealer needs to be my ringtone. 🤣🤣

I just realized how much instagram has brainwashed my idea of applying makeup with this single video. No wonder my skin had so much texture, I had been doing it all wrong 💀

It’s so interesting seeing you turn the light down and seeing all the texture and pores and cakiness- because honestly you don’t look that bad at the normal distance and it’s this blurred well lit version people think they’re going to get when they watch influencers do their makeup excessively like this! I swear 99% of gurus are afraid to show you a true gnarly close up because they’d look ten times uglier, moreso if they’re being paid to show off certain products that only look good under beauty lights

I am loving Quarantine Robert. He’s throwing more shade these days and I am living for it!

Robert Welsh showing us his worst nightmare for 19 minutes straight 😆

That moment of silence when he “finished” color correcting and just looking into the camera I could see pure sadness

“Oh robert have you finished your model yet?” - “Oh no actually im still just tapping in my eyeprimer” i literally choked on my water i love you robert 😭😂💜

No one ever: Absolutely no one ever: Robert while contouring: Wheezes in makeup artist

His laugh when he looks in the mirror after colour correcting is killing me 😂😂 poor Robert

"there was a primer that i absolutely hated and people were like 'yeah but you have to tap it in for 5 minutes'...W H O T H E F U C K H A S T H E T I M E" omg this baffled me 😂p *cough* *cough * louise *cough*

Robert: Sick- Me: -ening? Robert: ...-ly LMAO

That laugh after he says "they take it all off, off-camera" about the color correction lolol

"what do you consider fine" the accent really makes it sound shadier than he intends😭😂😂😂😂

First, I would just like to say that his laugh is EVERYTHING. 😂😂 Second, I'm going to be 29 this month and I just seriously started getting more and more into makeup. I came across him by accident and have been binge watching his videos and I've learned more from him than in the last few videos I've watched than I have watching any other youtube beauty "guru's"! I won't go anywhere else to get my tips and tricks. 💯💯🤷

I don’t understand the heavy product usage, especially with liquids and creams. Trained painters and artists KNOW that using too much paint absolutely ruins any attempt at detail or technique. Artists also know how important BLENDING is with the brush. Makeup artistry follows these same principles, it just uses the three-dimensional face as a canvas!

Make up methods he hates: -excess product -excessive contouring -baking Me: **sweats in Drag**

Robert: "Let me just tell you something" Me: *stops chewing food*

I love the confidence with which Robert says "SO what we're going to do is..." like this is a genuine makeup tutorial and not wholeheartedly satirical, I love the commitment

Okay but the fact that he looked like every generic make up youtuber in the end is sending me

FINALLY! A make up artist that doesn’t buy into the excess product trend. When I see people put layers upon layers of primer, concealer, contour, foundation, then bake. It’s just sooooo much and messes with your skin if you do that on the regular. I think you’re right, the trend was created by product companies to selllll morrrrre! I just found your channel this past month and I Love you Robert, you are fantastic!

Best quotes: "who has 5 minutes to tap in eye primer" "Literally took 15 minutes to blend" "*Intense staring*" "I can't even look at myself"*laughing* You're always the best, love your intense judgement stares.

I’m so glad to find someone who hates under eye baking, I thought I was either doing it wrong or using the wrong product because it always looked so dry and it creased so much! Thank you for putting my issue into better words than me 🙏🏻

“Hey Robert is the model’s makeup almost done?” “Actually no I’m still finishing up the eye primer.” Lord that made me spit up my tea 😂😂

The whole thing disappears because they take it off off-camera *and that evil clever laugh is the best thing ive ever heard in my 1 month of quarantine*

I promise this is not an insult BUT. Using these techniques makes it look like you are wearing a mask of your own face over your own face, if you know what I mean? I'm so used to seeing your face and the way you apply makeup normally, so seeing what your face looks like because of these crazy methods, especially the baking and the highlighting application, really throws off your proportions. I can see why you don't like these methods. Your explanations and the application really *show* why these methods are not always necessary for people.

basically they say they apply 15 different products with 6 different tools and blend for 45 min to achieve the same complexion you would get by using 3 products a brush and a sponge and 5 min.....while being less cakey....

Robert: Looks at his face in the mirror after putting on concealer *pauses while trying not to laugh* Robert: " You know what we're fine..." LOL

Robert: "I'm not shady. I think it's just my accent." Also Robert: *makes a shady af video* LOL

“Let me just tell you somefink” you know the tea is about to be SPILLED

OH MY GOD Robert wheezing at himself over-contouring I’m crying

"Here's another thing" I could hear your rings clink on your ringless hands lol

never understood baking, when it was a trend people were like wtf you don't bake it makes your makeup last?? my skin is textured anyways as I have eczema AND acne prone skin. I tried it once and could feel the powder sucking the soul out of my under eyes. still haven't mentally recovered

Robert, I am a "recovering" makeup trend follower. There were days that after trying some of these techniques I literally had to wash my face and start over. The makeup brands are laughing all the way to the bank because of all the product they are selling. I am an older woman, and I wear less makeup now than ever before because I just don't need it! THANK YOU for being the voice of reason. (PS After your color correcting I was expecting a ghost story......😱).

This man. The one makeup artist I’ve found (my mom introduced me to his channel), who stays AWAY from drama, and isn’t shouting or getting super wound up. It’s chill vibes here. Mhm. 👌🖤

I'm seriously impressed that the 'contour' blended as much as it did haha. I thought there was noooooo way

i couldn't stop laughing when he started blending the color corrector , such a funny and informative video , i love it

When you finished with the color correcting step, I swear you were the exact shade of Lieutenant Data on Star Trek, lol! That kind of green-grey-lavender glow!

The fact there’s so much product and texture in the end even though he never applied foundation. Robert, you never cease to amaze me.

Yknow when your bronzer breaks in your bag and everything has a coating of orange on it? In the nicest way possible Robert that’s what your face looks like by the end of this.

It literally hurts my brain when I see girls with absolutely perfect skin with perfect texture and tone, no blemishes, no flaws, putting an inch thick layer of concealer, foundation, contour, bronzer, highlight and powder and baking, then a setting spray! Good lord girl, your skin must be choking under all of that! Foundation was only ever meant to even-out the skin tone, not be like a mask! As someone with porcelain skin with very fine texture, I've always suffered from slight breakouts which appear so much worse due to how pale and fine my skin is and even my dermatologist says this - she's always told me that my breakouts are not actually bad, it's that my "English Rose" type skin emphasizes any blemish making it appear more noticeable than it really is - if that even makes any sense at all! Oh how I would kill for that perfect skin and I'd rock it in all of its natural glory, without so much as a hint of concealer.

"I'm gonna put yellow there for no reason" 😂😂 I completely lost it at the countour part. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

honestly thought i was living in a parallel universe where nobody could do makeup without 4kg of product but the gods listened to my prayers and sent our saviour

When he is silent you know Mr.Welsh is pissed off

can you do this again with one half showing the "bad" techniques and one side showing how to correctly do it? it would be super helpful to correct the way i do eyeshadow especially. i feel like i really pack it on sometimes and it ends up being difficult to blend, but when i don't pack it enough on it seems sheer. for that reason i have been sticking to mostly packing and blending a little at the edges for a more graphic look, or just all over the lid washes of a light colored shimmer that i can tap on with my finger. the only time i have true success with blending deep eye looks is with my pat mcgrath palettes (her mattes are phenomenal), which is a little embarrassing.

I'm glad Robert keeps his makeup real. You know he's a real artist and know what people actually like to look like in real life and not just look good in photos/camera.

Robert's anecdote about being backstage, THE ACCURACY, the embarrassment one feels when they take too long to do a models make up and having the key artist point it out is so real LMAO 🤣

I'm waiting for a full face of orange colour corrector, shit ton of concealer and baking everything 😂 Huda and Nikita would be proud of you haha

OMG send help. Robert is baking! Send a well check! I think he’s going to throw up! On a side note I would love for him to take a beauty guru and do their makeup the correct way and take away all the excessive makeup and cake and see how beautiful and fresh they can look!

You're like a make-up dad. "I'm not mad, just disappointed"

blending that line on his eyelid while saying "I have things to do today" LMAO

"there's some affiliate links but they'll be clearly marked" just for this statement I respect you even more than before. Usually youtubers only write " some links are affiliate" without stating which ones, so it's not being transparent. Thank you Robert for being you and fornot changing for "fame and fortune"

"Mmmm... What do you consider fine?" Robert, 2020. WHAT AN ICON.

19 minutes of Robert laughing at himself and dying inside. You are just so freaking precious

I just started this (and I came up with it all on my own too.... I’ve NEVER seen anyone else do this!!!) but a little, teeny bit of eyeshadow primer in my brows, make the pencil glide on and STAY ON so much better than without!!! It has literally been life changing for me!!! Especially since my brows are very, very sparse and this method makes them look so much more cohesive and natural.

I remember the first time I ever “baked” my under eyes 😱 I thought I must’ve done something terribly wrong!! I just looked awful! I tried a few times after and quickly came to the conclusion that I simply cannot “bake.” You can’t really trust some of these IG and RU-vid methods. They’re just not practical for the everyday person!

Robert: "Like you don't go around lifting up your eyebrow." Severus Snape: "I beg your pardon?"

his cute evil laugh at 11:28 really took me out i replayed it like 10 time the pettiness!!!! RESPECT

11:25-11:30 Roberts inner mocking giggle is a whole shmood. That’s how I laugh every time I see these beauty “gurus” cake their face and tell you it’s “needed”.

My skin is crazy dry so when I see people bake I’m literally like spongebob when he dries up 🤣😭

When you had all the color corrector blended out, all I could think was that you looked dead. I think you found your next look for your ghost story videos. 😂😂😂

Robert’s soul is leaving his body as he conceals his rage and face all at once

i used to think all these "techniques" were legit way to apply makeup and i always wondered why i would look so scary and old looking with all this shit on my face lol. thanks for confirming that it's all wrong. your brother has been helping get my skin in tip top shape and now you're going to help me look put together!!

Robert: " people actually take off correcting color off camera... AHAHA" Me: trying not to laugh but laughs because of Robert's laugh 😂 But yes, I have tried baking under my eyes, and I will agree with Robert. From my experience from playing with makeup, baking under the eyes looks nice in pictures, but not in real life or in person.

Robert: I'm not shady "I LOVE BAKING AND IT LOOKS FINE ON ME!" Also Robert: Ehmmmm.... What do you consider fine? 😂😂😂😂😂

" I look at their makeup and mmmm, what do you consider fine?" dead loooool

I tried baking and look like a caked mess, I then tried baking with a different powder and I still looked khaki. I then tried a whole new powder and baked again and purchased setting spray this time to douse my face with and I looked even worse. Watching videos to see how to bake and not look cakey I’m trying it out on myself let me to believe I’ve really sucked at makeup and it really made me question the 19 years that I have been doing my own make up because I felt like I knew absolutely nothing anymore. I did not understand why I could not make powder work the way they made it work online. You Robert made me see that it was not me it was them. And maybe it’s wrong to say this but to anybody who bakes their face in their videos and tells me this needs to be done to prevent creasing really makes me feel like I’m being lied to. They did not tell you how long you should let the products dry, before packing on powder which in my case made my face, especially under my eyes look like cake batter on my face and they did not tell me that my pores would be extremely noticeable.. I really felt like the RU-vid influencers I was watching not only made me less confident in myself caused me to lose money and I truly feel that I was lied to because that was not regular every day make up and they never should’ve told somebody to do all of that powder or baking for regular life.

It would’ve been interesting to see a side by side comparison of his techniques vs instagram techniques he hates...

That side eye to the camera is everything 😭😭😂😂 “oh no, I’m still patting in the eye primer” 😂😂😂 I love this video!

I honestly miss the sound Robert's rings made when he did THAT hand gesture. You know the one
