Y'all, in the law or not, *youtubers need to disclose for an ad in the videos, the same way Robert does.* You're getting more backlash for not disclosing from what i've seen, and it's not worth it.
Geez I wasn’t suggesting that Robert (or James) would do sponsored content without disclosure!! Here in the US, one never really knows - it should be the unspoken rule.
I don’t understand why Robert doesn’t have 10M subscribers. There’s nothing abrasive about his personality but he’s still so fun to watch, he goes in depth and gets all kinds of technical without being dull, and most of all, he KEEPS IT REAL. This makes him a RU-vid unicorn.
Completely agree! Robert is such a lovely human and a brilliant make up artist. His videos just make my day. And I always learn something! He should be winning RU-vid.
I love that the fact that this video is sponsored is literally in the title! Love that you know the law, follow the law and have integrity and you’re entertaining and so knowledgeable.
Robert warns us about nefarious skin prep naysayers, "Anyone who tells you that prepping your skin for makeup isn't necessary? ... They're liars. They're lying to you and don't want you to succeed at life." PREACH! PREACH! Thank you and AMEN, Robert! 💜💜💜💜
I wouldn't tell anyone else it isn't necessary, but for me, I do not find it's necessary. I don't have better or worse makeup days when prepping or not prepping. I don't wear much base makeup though, so maybe that makes a difference?
@@TheSwauzz that could be part of it. The real issue is why are you wearing the makeup and what do you want out of your finished look. Do you need to appear fresh all day at work which might include 10 hours or more with commutes and over time. Is your skin super dry or very oily and you want your makeup to look as good as when it was first applied many hours later? Do you want your makeup to look natural in broad daylight and remain looking so? Do you need it to hold up with heat/humidity/hot lighting/stage? it all depends on what your goals are. It can look good when you apply it, but for how long and under what conditions? Prep and having the best skin possible can matter more than you might think. Hope this helps to answer your question! 💋💄👠
Does anyone else feel like Robert started the concealer technique that is now viral on Tik Tok? I feel like I saw him do this like a year ago (the two dots on the inside and one swipe on the outside) and all of a sudden everyone is catching up LOL. Robert is a #trendsetter
Yeah he did! its technically not "his" technique but the trend started after he explicitly put it out there. Alex Anele made a youtube video specifically on it and then it went from there. Thank god because I'm so annoyed with the concealer abuse lol.
I love that you put these little time stamps / chapters into your videos. While I always watch the whole thing, it really helps when going back, trying to find specific info. This level of organized is calming AF.
It's worth having a look at Jaime French for tips for older skin. She does a few demos on her a Mum and older clients (sorry Robert for recommending someone else in your comments but I think you two are the nicest makeup tubers around)
I love how Robert gives an explanation and justifies his techniques. I have vastly improved my makeup techniques from watching his videos! Also, his voice and aura is so calming 😌
Yes! He has completely changed how I hold my makeup brushes, how much product I use, where I place products... absolutely love his impeccable knowledge, teaching style, and personality! (Also he has me being way more hygienic with my products/brushes just by talking about the importance of hygienic practices for MUAs)
Exactly! He doesn't just say something vague like "do it this way because it's better." He actually explains *why* it's better for some, not all, circumstances and gives examples. My makeup skills are still lacking but are steadily improving (I've never been creative or artistic, so that's huge for me), which means he really is a good, effective teacher.
Love seeing Robert's sub count get larger every time I watch new video! Anyone else?? Sincerely, someone who has become 'really good at makeup' thanks to these videos 🤓
Yea, I really like using E.L.F, it’s one of the few makeup brands that doesn’t make my acne worse. I started using this brand because they were recommended to me by a vegan classmate a couple of years ago. The only issue I have is that some of the eyeshadows can be a bit fragile.
I just tried it🙁 doesn't work for me. Especially make up and primer. It looks like very cheap make up. I really wanted to like this as I wanted to replace Chantecaille make up with something less expensive.
For anyone oily AND dehydrated, I love Elf's Jelly Pop Moisturizer/Cleanser, and their Plus Glow and Plus Matte line with sprays/primers etc are AMAZING
I have oily and dehydrated skin and I always thought E.L.F and other drug store brands wouldn't work on my skin until I used E.L.F primers. Now Basically my whole skin routine is drug store!
@@PS-mr3vi yes! I find water based or gel based products work best on my oily dehydrated skin for daytime anyway. Elf and WnW actually have some great skincare products!
@@DanielleNicoleMakeup i feel like everyone completely forgets about WnW! I use the Dewy Photofocus foundation and it's honestly been one of my new faves from the drugstore now that makeup has been transitioning to the "my skin but better," trend from the full coverage that's been popular. I pair it with the hydrating primer and the putty primer and it works wonderfully! Can't believe I used to pay so much for the same, if not slightly worse, results these brands give.
@@PS-mr3vi so true! I use WnW Rose Primer Serum since it's water based in the summer and it gives such a healthy glow. Also that same line has a rose spray toner that I literally use daily but I've noticed it is only sold at Walgreens, not even on the WnW website which is weird.
The fact that you place AD in your TITLE, is so exceptional. I’m more inclined to click someone that I stan’s video when they’re being THAT upfront, than to go through the video and hear “Thank you for sponsoring!” cuz then I have to rewatch with a different mindset. Robert won’t steer wrong whether sponsored or not, but it’s just an extra perk, and such a breath of fresh air to stan someone who’s so genuine and unproblematic that his biggest drama is an April fools joke of a makeup line 🤣
Robert is so well mannered, honest and genuinely fun to be around...Just what we all need in to brighten the quarantine. Love both the brothers, helping me thrive this time.
Anyone else do your make up and hear Robert's voice in your head with his reassuring and helpful tips. Finding him on RU-vid has made me fall back in love with make up and try new things after years of YT influencers got me thinking I was terrible at application. Ily Robert x
Same here! I hadn't worn makeup in YEARS but Robert convinced me to try it again. I may be old, but I'm not dead yet 😁 Thanks, Robert 🥰 And I can't say enough good things about elf: great quality, great price and, best of all, vegan and cruelty free 🌱💚🌱
Same! I was so "meh" and feeling like it was a chore. 25 years ago I was OBSESSED with makeup...I would walk through the MAC and Urban Decay department store displays just to stare at all the products I wanted, and I did all my friends' makeup for prom, etc...Robert was the first makeup RU-vidr I ever watched and it was love at first ring click! I still trust him the most and always look to see if he has a posted opinion when I'm considering new products!
People mentioned you in Peter Monn's drama channel as an unproblematic make up guru hopefully you will start to receive the amount of subscribers you deserve love everything you and your bother do your both a breath of fresh air to RU-vid!
Its been a while since we got a full on tutorial! Love it! And even though its sponsored, I love that its a full face tutorial with an accessible brand that IS decent quality.
Robert I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for having someone like you on RU-vid. I was completely tired of not getting true and real life makeup techniques. I absolutely love you and your brother. ❤️❤️
“Anyone who tells you that prepping the skin for makeup isn’t necessary, they’re liars, they’re lying to you and don’t want you to succeed in life.” Thank you Robert for showing us how to use products properly but also keeping it real without of being crude!!
Hey Robert! I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing closer up shots like macro shots of your skin while you're doing skin prep and base products? I love to see the change in texture. I usually watch on my phone and when you say "can you see xyz" I often can't 😂 Great video as usual ❤️
Man just listening to you talk is so soothing, I’m absolutely shattered today and I literally just chilled out immediately 😂 you’ve got that ASMR voice 😂
Right lol. Check out a recent video he uploaded where it's just him putting on makeup for almost an hour with no edits and hes doing a voice over. I think it's called "stop ruining your makeup!" Even the way he applies his makeup is elegant and relaxing lol.
Thank you for the timestamps in the description Robert! Very helpful 😊 I'm continually impressed by your ability to make any colour work for you. Scientist, Historian, Scholar of 5 minute crafts and now Magician.
The thing about makeup looks that use a lot of product is that while they look good on camera, they tend to looks cakey and flakey in person. For face-to-face situation less product is definitely better.
Robert, you are the most informative makeup person (including all beauty gurus, famous MUAs, and everyone filming makeup content) on RU-vid. First of all, you really know about different makeup techniques, which is suitable for which skin type, which product would work and how it is better applied, which effect it gives, etc. Second of all, you really explain them with all reasons why. I feel like either people are not very careful about that knowledge (which is totally OK for other purposes) or know them but never explain it precisely. Either way, I cannot understand and apply them by myself. Thank you for being here, I am so happy to have you as a teacher.
Not gonna lie, I’ve been debating buying more elf with their spring sale. Then I see they sponsored Robert and suddenly I feel it’s my duty to shop and support elf.
I love the camo cc cream, the hydrating camo concealer, and all three primers you used ! I use their mint primer, the putty primer, and the eyeshadow primers! I use the putty eye primer and the pro eyeshadow primer to help kind of soften the stiff formula of the putty eye primer
Robert can you please film a video talking about products & techniques to use on mature skin (60+). Especially to do with makeup settling in lines/wrinkles.
@@bobbiobanion7706 No I haven't thank you for the suggestion😊. It's for my Mom, I'm still an young spring chicken at 32 even though somedays I don't feel it.😂
Wow Robert, I just noticed your subscriber count, your subscribers have grown BIG TIME since finding you! I actually knew it would bcz people love finding talented (& charming) men in the beauty community! Hugs from the states 🇺🇸
When your husband doesn't mind you buying some of the products mentioned in the video because he trusts Robert's opinions on this stuff just as much as I do😂❤️
His personality is so loveable! And he seems like such a kind person, it makes me want to hug him. And just him as a human being is so wonderful! Not to mention the hard work he puts in his videos. Time stamps, great tips, new products, HORROR STORIES! Robert, YOU’RE WONDERFUL! 😭
Love this ! It’s educational as well as just magical listening to Robert speak about the process. I can tell he loves what he does and truly understands what we want in products ! I live how excited she gets about products that deliver!
I found Robert by accident on Facebook and absolutely love him. My fave make up artist by far. He's just so real and transparent about everything and I've learned more over the past few months from his videos than ever before. Absolute game changer finding him and I love trying his techniques. Thank you Robert. Don't ever change ❤
Even as my other makeup spending goes up, I can't bring myself to wear anything other than the Elf Expert Liquid Liner. Used to be a dollar, but it's still cheap and every other liner I try falls short
Love the eyeshadow sticks from elf. I bought one of every shade and he’s right about them acting as primers. They are awesome! Also if you order from the website you get beauty squad points that leads to free products and sometimes they send you products to test. I got that mascara as a promotion for feedback. Definitely a fan. ❤️
All I’ve been doing is trying new makeup this year, treating myself to ‘high end’ stuff some times- and honestly, ELF products are some of the best I’ve ever used! Their HD Camo concealer is my go-to 💖
I don't wear make up. It's just not my aesthetic, i have nothing against people who do. However, does this stop me from loving every single video Robert does? Nope. Robert, you are my favorite person on RU-vid. Hands down. You are such an artist and we are so blessed to be able to hang out with you virtually. Thank you ❤ You bring us so much joy.
I hated E.L.F when they first came onto the market as an affordable makeup brand. I tried them several times, but was really disappointed in the quality. In the past few years I've seen more MUA and influencers speaking positively and it took me hearing Robert talking positively to give them another shot and I was shocked and pleased. I'm glad that I can trust the Welsh brothers to be honest. Thank you 💖
Why have I only just found your videos? Absolutely fallen in love with your amazing chuckle. I watch you with a permanent grin. I do my makeup now every day following your hints and tips 😘
Oh my god the little squeak he did when he was so excited about how nice the green eyeshadow was melted my heart.. I thought I couldn't love this guy more .. yay Robert 💕💕
Love it when you talk about drugstore makeup, I have a lot of great stuff in my collection from the drugstore and keep buying more, I do have a couple things that are on the other end but love ELF makeup the most !!
Their felt tip eyeliner is my all time fav product they make! The color is highly pigmented, the tip is super sharp, and it costs only $3 USD. I love the look you created today and really want to try their Nourishing Facial Oil after seeing how well it works. Thanks again for sharing another amazing lewk 💜🤍🖤
I love the transparency in the title. E.L.F. has some staples that I use every time I do my makeup: Eye crease brush, HD undereye setting powder, brow/clear mascara.
I suffer with rosacea on my chin & nose; and the cc cream does a really good job of evening out my skin tone and covering the redness! It feels so light, and it looks natural 👏🏼 Could not recommended enough
Robert’s Guinea pig squeak when he was using the eyeshadows. 😭😭 So adorable. Literally sitting here with my notepad writing the things he recommends as I’ve wanted to try Elf for ages.
Robert is literally thee only person I've seen use the mini mint palettes that enjoys them. I dont know why, but no one can make them work for them. Looks sooo good when Robert uses them though
I was actually surprised seeing others say it didn’t work for them, I think maybe cause people initially blend and don’t pack first? Only thing I can guess, I love the minis
I have the mint mini and another ones and I really like them haha, they're actually really nice and cheap. Maybe it's the way you blend them or what you're used to 🤔🤔
I love that you love E.L.F. like I love it! And yes, you absolutely are the godfather of that concealer technique that is done everywhere now - Tik Tok, RU-vid, Instagram... no more triangles and I almost never see anyone "baking" anymore. You're the best, Robert! Reforming our creasy undereyes, one lower lid at a time!!
I absolutely love E.l.f products so much! Years ago are used to use health products when they weren’t so good to the point where I stopped using them but in the last few years they’ve stepped up the quality of their products so much that I absolutely love them and some of them are staples in my make up routine like the camo hydrating concealer is amazing. Are used to be obsessed with the Matte camo concealer but now I love the hydrating one more. ❤️❤️ I need to try the CC cream and I adore they’re little 4 pan shadows.
I just started watching your videos yesterday and also tried makeup for the first time and I'm obsessed. I love your personality and the quality of the information that you are providing. I can't wait to keep watching!
ELF does have some good drugstore products. I have also noticed thanks to you Robert lots of other beauty you tubers are using less concealer and also using your placement💜. Thanks for always having great content!!
That foundation is flawless... I might need to go get some and the blushes too...i love the color tones in this look so much! Green is my favorite color and omg so pretty
Robert I absolutely love you I have watched all of your videos in a short time. I love your Elf reviews you have showed me that they are very good brand and I bought a lot of their stuff and I do not regret it. ♥ I have become so much better at makeup because of you I truly have to thank you
Thank you so much for doing videos with E.L.F. makeup! With covid I haven’t really been leaving my town at all and I don’t have a local Sephora or Ulta. But I do have a few drug stores so I have been able to try some really great make up and keep learning new techniques for a really decent price. Make up has become a hobby for me now. You are awesome Robert! Keep being you! 😀
Robert! You are amazing, I have been using your eye concealer techniques and my makeup looks so much better. Honestly has made such a difference as I suffer with under eye circles and been feeling really low recently. Your teaching has made such a difference, love you and love your videos! Thank you ❤️ xx
I absolutely ADORE you and LOVE your videos!!! I am an aspiring MUA and I have learned so many helpful tips from you! You are absolutely my favorite MUA to watch on here and I fully trust your word on some of the products you’ve reviewed that I have been considering trying! Thank you so much for your videos and all your expertise! ❤️
Absolutely love ELF. I love the Hello Hydration face cream, the Wow Brow brow gel and the putty primer. To be honest though everything I’ve used from ELF has always been amazing!
I recently started using ELF after seeing Trixie Mattel using it in a video and I just can’t get enough of it! Lol I’m excited to find even more products from this video that I need to try. Thank you and your brother for keeping me and my husband entertained during quarantine. He doesn’t understand makeup, but still laughs so hard when I watch the videos you have with James. 💕
