Makeup Artist Fails? PRO MUA Reacts 

Follow me on TikTok for exclusive content! ✌🏼- www.tiktok.com/@robertwelshmua?_t=8epzotrohIu&_r=1

I like the way you just critique the makeup and don't put down the makeup artists. Very professional and classy.

As a fellow professional makeup artist, the amount of muas who have the nerve to charge money but can’t work on deeper skintones is immeasurable. Stop turning your dark skinned clients gray!! Please!!!! Learn to be inclusive or stop calling yourself a professional. BIPOC aren’t an afterthought.

As an American I would love a video on stereotypical UK makeup, I’m really curious 😅

In my opinion (as a Brit), popular UK makeup today is an evolution of the early 2000s makeup (darkest dream matte mousee foundation you can find, don't blend at the neck, lightest foundation on the lip with a brown lip pencil and a smokey or frosted eye), if the make up looks like a modern/more technical version of this then its probably a British MUA!

Robert you’re always so respectful and fair with your comments and opinions. It always feels like such a safe space being part of this community 💜

A video comparing British and American makeup would be super interesting! Could even become a series of country vs country or region vs region. Perhaps even makeup in different cultures? Egyptians, Geisha, etc. Great video!

For bridal makeup, it's always important to do a trial run with your selected artist *before* the big day. It's well worth the extra money.

You are such a naturally beautiful human being. You're nice to look at with or without make up! Love how you said people shouldn't be publicly shamed and give amazing tips to correct what went wrong.

Lethal burn 1: "It's fine to wear a lot of makeup, but one thing to remember is to blend it in properly." Lethal burn 2: "The way UK salons do their makeup... in a particular way..." Instant death: "Why is that line there? What does it mean?" just kidding, robert was very tactful and kind as per usual.

I certainly don't have the face (or confidence) to wear that pink face makeup, but I do think it is beautiful. You're right, it is oddly pleasing to the eye.

The way you finessed the “steak lip” at the end was gorgeous. It would be really cool to see you fine tune make up trends in the UK (&other countries) to look more flattering/wearable. Much love from America ❤

You never need to excuse a "lack of makeup" to us - you're beautiful, wonderful and brilliant with or without it in any given moment. 💗 Now let's get into these fabulous fails! 🤩🥳

Robert you are so diplomatic. The very first picture is testament to this. Lion King😂😂😂😂. I love that you are actually trained. When you learn online and there's no instructors to correct you. This is what you get. You don't want your first critic to be when your client is refusing to pay. Thank you again Robert for teaching me three years ago how to apply eye pencil correctly... Quite costumy😂😂😂 you're at the lady with these windshield wiper lashes that seem to be missing the other part of the lash. You are so diplomatic.

the dark liner is a technique that brown and black women have been doing forever! i think its become popular on white women but its not really "made" for us unless done a very specific way

We need James and Robert doing Brittish chav make up. 😂

The problem is like you have said before. People just call themselves a make-up artist these days without having any qualifications!.

I really like how you are not being mean and actually give out nice critique! :) And as a finnish person it would be fun to watch (and learn) about how makeup is done in the UK salons, we nordics usually very careful (aka plain..) with our makeup looks so the kinda "chav-esque" makeup is very interesting :)

You being so respectful and not shaming these artists is seriously the reason why I’m subscribed to you!! Just such good critiques and informative ❤️

I remember my friends doing the brown or black eyeliner lined lips with a clear gloss back when I was in junior high in the early 90’s… I have yearbook photos to prove that this was a thing almost every girl was doing… it’s a look that keeps getting recycled over and over again.

Just before my wedding, I went for a consult at a "fancy" salon in my town and they did a trial run of my wedding day makeup. No sooner did I leave and get in my car and looked in my mirror that the makeup was cakey, already melting off my face, etc. It looked AWFUL. I decided to do my own makeup because I trusted my own skills for my wedding day and I got more compliments on it AND it stayed on all day. Ever since, I've always told my women friends that if they are confident in their own skills and don't mind doing it themselves, then do your own wedding makeup. Unless you completely trust the artist, only YOU know what you really want for your wedding day. Trust your skills because chances are that someone you barely know isn't going to do it the way that you like it or want it done. Again, unless you totally trust that artist.

I love how sweet and forgiving you are with people! You're a total class act, Robert!

I had my makeup done professionally for a wedding a few months ago, asked for a light-glam look (basically didn't want too much product on my face) she didnt really listen to me and did her own thing lol. And for some reason she decided to give me the dreaded beef lips. Its such a British thing! I just wish she'd have asked me what I wanted on my lips 😭😭

I love how you chose to give constructive feedback instead of shaming anyone. You're so classy and obviously caring. Thank you for bringing something useful to these types of videos! ❤

This was done so respectfully and classy. Loved the way tips and guidance were given without trying to ridicule the MUAs. This shows Robert truly is a lovely, kind and considerate person. Such a great video!

I love how you approach these topics, providing reliable information without being unkind 💜💜🖤🖤💜💜

Yes! I’d love to see a video of explaining a more “British” makeup look 😊

Yes please to an overview of british beauty! 2008-2014, i was obsessed with uk style mags, and im very aware of how both mod and punk changed the style world. Ooooh talk about Mary Quant pls!!!

That outtro music really embraced the lullaby vibe! so many people comment that your voice is soothing (it is!) and that outtro really took it to the next level!

The chav look has gotten waaayyyy too popular 😂

Hey Robert! Hope you're well. You're so professional and educational in your reactions. Have a lovely day!

I remember the HORRORS of some of my experiences starting out in makeup. Some things you just have to learn the hard way when you're doing makeup on other people. (But yes also please fix it if someone's paying for the service!😅)

This was such a great critique video. You handle these awkward looks in such a classy way and give such helpful advice. Masterful.

I think it would be a cool video idea if you show old work/ makeups that you have made up, and look at them critically, which techniques were common at that time, and what has changed.

My car broke down on my way home from seeing Oppenheimer in the city and I was stuck on the roadside for hours. I came home in the worst mood and as soon as I started I watching I felt better. Thank you my emotional support RU-vidr 💕❤️

Amazing video! I really appreciate all your tips, especially as someone who is just starting out in makeup. 😊 Thanks for all the amazing content, Robert!

You are so kind and such a classy gentleman.

Well, thank God you're here to teach makeup! Not sure what these other Artists were trying to achieve?? Perhaps they were after as many "Jackie's" as possible 🤔??💜🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for your words on “ beef lips” people can be so nasty to anyone who decides to rock them. Bad or good. It’s literally one of my favorite lip combos. The brown liner on the whole lips and then put the lighter shade is a great tip ! Respect good beef lips !

I needed to see this. Hearing your perspective helped me with small tweaks I could make to improve my overall look. (the comment about the lashes coming down too low, and not following the eyeshadow and the cheek products in the last look.) Thanks so much. You did it with so much professionalism. You weren't being harsh, just making suggestions, and it was helpful to me as a non makeup artist.

The pink undereye girl doesn’t belong to this list, some of these are just people doing their own face. From a pro I’d be mad, as a client, but when doing your own makeup, do whatever the heck you want. And no one should be allowed to ”publically shame” about it

A video 2 days in a row? What a treat!

I love how you elevated a lip look that I always sort of associate with “trashy” or “cheap” and made it instantly wearable by anyone. You have so much practical advice.

7:54 I feel both seen and called out! I have a more turned down eye than the model. A number of my relatives have it, my Mom calls it out "sad eyes". I also have a HUGE area between my lashes and my brows too, I say more real estate for eye make-up.😂

So many thanks that you immediately corrected the title use of shame. Your ability to choose the road of constructive feedback sets the bar high for many YT reviewers. With love Tassie Joy

Robert, in South Africa we have load shedding (government switches the electricity off for hours at a time) Can't wait to watch your new video as soon as the electricity comes back on🥳 you are one of the few YTs I get excited for when there's a new video posted. Thank you for posting your knowledge with us 🖤

Happy Monday, Robert! This is such a pleasant surprise while I wait for my AC to be fixed. Interestingly enough, the first picture you showed started building her following on Facebook when live makeup tutorials were the thing to do. Whenever she’d go live, some of the critiques would be constructive and others would be so mean spirited. I say all of that to say, thank you for your professional critiques and highlighting the positives and the areas that need improvement. This is yet another reason (I think Reason #1024) that I love your content! Have an awesome day and you look amazing! 💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤💓🖤

Incredible information as always :) Thank you for always explaining everything so that it's super easy to understand!

Wooo early! Thank you for making these videos for us all

Woww this is one of my fav videos from you ever! Such good and helpful information! ❤

🎉 congratulations! Ive been rocking with you since 100k and im so happy for you

How did I miss this yesterday ??? Much love to you and thank you so much in all the hard work you do for us 💜 I learn so much from your channel and your personality and genuine kindness is so refreshing 😊my makeup has never looked better since taking your advice ! Thank you!💜😊😊😊

PLEASE make a “this is British makeup trends” video!!!

Omg Robert you are about to reach 1mill!! I’m so proud of you I’ve been watching you and loving your content for years, you really really deserve this achievement and I will be here along the way with you throughout your career and wish you all the luck in the world and sending so much love! 🖤

Robert you are so talented and I really enjoy the expertise you share with us. ❤

I love this videos!! The way you talk about the make up and makeup artist is so respectful, pointing out what's wrong without putting the person down! I'm here for it!!

The pink under eyes girl i agree! It is not every day make-up but it does look and feels like a complete whole look💖🩷

Loving this video! Please make more like this❤ your commentary is very professional and I love how you don’t bash the makeup but rather give good solid advice!

Hi Robert, you’re almost at 1 million subscribers 👍🏼😀👏🏻 Congratulations, we love you.

I love how you are so respectful! Especially with something so sensacionalist and maybe even tooked out context.

Steak lips took me out 😂 Also the glow on the skin today 👩‍🍳 💋

I used to do that lip look back in the early 90's!! I can't believe it's back in fashion in the UK. I haven't seen it back here, in Australia - thank God! It's not exactly the nicest look, especially if it's done badly. And I really feel bad for that poor green faced woman. Thanks for brightening up my morning!

Hi Robert. I am really enjoying seeing more videos from you. 💜

This is such nice, respectful, and constructive feedback 🖤

Thanks for the ‘lines’ explanation. I’ve never heard that before but it makes so much sense. Thanks, Robert! 💕🐾💕🫰🏻

You're such a lovely person ❤. RU-vid is better with you and James honestly. I'm always happy when you post.

Hallo Robert , thank you so much. When I watch these I always learn something.

I'm obsessed with these videos from you

i love how helpful your critique is, always very interesting feedback :)

I love that your constructive criticism was actually constructive! You're so professional and kind.

You are such a kind critic. I love it

Your skin is really looking great, Robert! 😊❤

Your skin is so flawless! 😻😻

Robert I’m literally obsessed with you. You are like the perfect human. Thank you for your videos!

Absolutely please do a video on how you could tell the MUAs are British.

Robert coming in clutch defending the Essex girl makeup. Love it.

Robert, you don't have to wear makeup in your videos for us! 😊 I have to say it really makes me chuckle when you're pointing out all the things I also noticed LOL. I kept going OMG OMG at some of these, yikes. 🖤🖤🖤

This video is very useful and I think your comments are fair, Robert. Really more people should have your videos on their recommendation page!

After the day I've had, I needed this. ❤

When you said "tin man" I absolutely DIED! THE ACCURACY! 😂😂😂

Ok but number 11 is giving Yzma and I kind of love it! 😅💜(For a costume of course)

The way I can watch these videos by you Robert all day everyday may deem me addicted but I don’t care!!!

YOURE AMAZING AND I LOVVE YOU WATCHING VIDEOS TO GIVE YOUR OPINION BC THATS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN thank you for being my private teacher rn xxxx from zurich suisse

Oh my Buddha. Honestly, I respect you as a make up artist. And your personally shows how sweet you are. I started over 15 years ago. You’re the most real I’ve seen. I appreciate your understand about the foundation of makeup and skincare. ❤ just keep slaying 😉

You’re always so kind and objective in your comments - kudos!!! I’m a Brit living in France and find the difference between make up (and clothing tbh) - especially for younger women - really shocking! Please please PLEASE make a video on British makeup styles 😊

Always enjoy your videos!

It’s so wholesome that you basically told us how you would fix those looks instead of shaming anyone 🥰

These videos are really useful for what not to do because I'm a very visual person and 'get it' instantly. That and I have a real chuckle LOL

Omg “steak lips” had me DYING!!! 😆 That business with the yellow foundation is why I refuse to get my color matched anywhere. I have yellow undertones in some spots, but it you put something with a yellow undertone on me I just look more yellow. It’s SO bad.

We love you with or without. Always stunning ❤❤

Happy Monday, Robert! Hope you are well.

Robert, that lip is absolutely gorgeous! And big YES to the British makeup!

I am very fair with a pink undertone (my photo here is done in sunset lighting so it's not right haha) and it is super obvious if the makeup is too yellow. Some people in stores have tried to sell me darker foundations, and somehow people don't see the glaring mistake it is? Sometimes they think they add a fresh tan on me but honestly I just look sick. The mind boggles.

I would love if you made a video with the UK mua fails and then showed us, how you could use the same products, but make it look great😍

It's got to be tough as a makeup artist, knowing that your name is going to be attached to a client's look, to fulfill a personal preference you don't agree with. 🖤👻 Thank you for this one!! I really enjoy your gentle, classy, and informative critique.

Robert I love your constructive criticism 😂 I don’t know how you can keep a straight face looking at some of those lol 😂 xx

I love how you critique but not bash. ❤

YES PLEASE on the UK Make-up video, who better to give us the insight and ESPECIALLY on the "Chola/Latina with the UK Spin" lip ❤❤ I also feel like you are 100% correct #2 being unfinished and its most definitely giving Drag more specifically Queen Trixie!

My god. You are so respectful with your feedback. These “looks” were terrible but you were very specific about how to improve them.

Wait, that's your skin WITHOUT makeup? Wow. 😍
