Reacting To Your Unpopular Makeup Opinions - Pro MUA Reacts. 

Honestly I like the e.l.f. color correcting primer. The one I use is green and I have super red skin. While it doesnt drastically correct i mix like 2:1 where one is foundation. I end up using less product, it goes on nicer, and it doesnt settle into my dry ass skin texture.

I’ve pinned this because I would love to see what people say! I personally have been using Milk hydro grip recently and I really like it because it actually helps with my skin texture, I’m oily but dehydrated and the hydro grip doesn’t over hydrate but it also smooths out my dehydrated areas! 🖤 I also think POREfessional is overrated 😑

I have combination skin ( oily t-zone) and for me so far the best was Innisfree No sebum Blur primer. Its not overpriced ( on yesstyle anyways) and it works very good. But i don't use primer everyday. When i just want to cover up some redness or my enormous dark circles 🤣 i just use my face cream as a primer.

Love the milk hydrogrip, I think it really does both hydrate and grip well. I like the essence fresh and fit for when I don’t need makeup to last 12 hours but want to glow, and I like the tatcha one for pore blurring

Robert Welsh me too! Am oily but dehydrated cause I’m old 😂😂

😝 Thank you!! 🖤🖤

Oh my goodness, I couldn’t stop laughing! 😂

Me too. I have a cold though and was laughing so hard it was so hard to breathe! Still trying to catch my breath!

😂😂😂😂 🖤🖤

Amy J so hilarious! I’d love a video hearing the gossip from that time!

ABSOLUTELY😂

@@RobertWelsh A video about bad job experiences in the industry?

Amy J I think you just did and they probably already knew it. 👏👏

Followed by the 'ehehehe'

and even older. its awful that to this day, still, society and the media dont see any "use" in women if theyre not young and easy to sexualize

Because a lot of people judging them I hear a lot of that like your old make up don't do anything to you or make up is just for young er people I'm 20btw

Check out ilia beauty 💗

Revolution included a couple of older ladies in a conceal and define campaign, and there is a comment on their RU-vid channel complaining about how everyone looked "old".

@@nn-wu2yo i honestly disagree. yes people judge and say this.. but the older you get, the less you worry or care about those things. some brands do use older women but they are the J LO at age 50 type.. not someone who naturally ages and to me, that is the bigger issue

Ditto, ulta benefit station drives me bonkers b/c no sanitation. I went to school to do hair, but it included MUA section. I FUCKING CRINGE.

I have a friend who keeps her makeup in disgusting condition. Then she gets mad at me because I won't let her "do" my make up 🤮

I will be starting my cosmetology studies next year and I totally agree!!! I know I know basically nothing compared to someone who has a certification, but from a common sense standpoint, hygiene is important and also shows respect towards the client!

I went to school for esthetics and I agree. We learned makeup design and infection control even though the focus was skincare. I would've failed my makeup exam if I applied makeup in an unsanitary way.

100% agree

However, those who are asking or telling about diversity aren't the same person who are bullying or telling that person that he/she is ugly... But yeah, i understand your concern

Jay Nicole Thank you for sharing your very insightful perspective. I totally agree and sometimes we need the reminder...😊👍

This reminded me of one time I saw a woman that seemed like she straight up walked off a renaissance painting. She wasn’t attractive by modern standards, but to me she was beautiful. I wish I’d mustered my courage and told her that. I’ve seen her two times only despite frequenting the place where it happened :c

"Be diverse... ooh no, not that kind of diverse"

Nah you're SO right, even when they're slimmer but "unconventional" its totally a thing I see too.

I think our standards for makeup and skin for our own face are alot higher than for others. If I see someone with textured skin and some acne I don't care, but on myself I hate it

At fifty, it's inevitable and I don't care because I can do great makeup looks even on my mummified skin.😄 But I have noticed that some products just don't work on textured skin. Those felt tip liners like the KVD tattoo liner are horrible to use on textured skin. You need to have the eyelids of a toddler to get those to perform well without some serious hard work. 😖

From a disability pride perspective, there's nothing wrong with facial differences (or facial "disfigurement"). Beauty standards usually reflect societal biases about what type of human is best. Society values abled people over disabled people or those with chronic health conditions. So beauty is used to hide any sign of illness, and when some people don't wear makeup they're constantly asked, "Are you sick?" Mustn't look sick, must look %100 abled and healthy at all times. Getting people to accept the "imperfections" in their skin must be part of a larger effort to get the majority to accept people who are not and will never be healthy.

social media has really warped our understanding of what skin actually looks like, & it's sad. people are terrified of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, pores, etc. etc. etc. people were obviously insecure about these things before, but with all the filters & editing & photoshop that goes on now, it's all been made worse

You are correct however if someone feels like hiding it that's their own choice. I appreciate tips on how to hide it. When we have alot of makeup on it can absolutely exacerbate the look of it.

😂😂🖤

Why we love you, Robert!!!

Marliese Thomas lol

That needs to be memed. It’s literally his version of tea sipping Kermit

If someone told me I shouldn't wear colorful eyeshadow b'cause of my age, I'd laugh my butt off and be sure to double down when I knew that person would be around. My bff told me I was getting to old to wear pink, I was dumbfounded. Who comes up w/ this crap?

@@rianne_9042 the reason fenty got s hype is bc they launched all the shades w their initial launch, estee lauder, mac, n lancome kinda just added deeper shades as time went on. the reason fenty changed everythings is bc they basically said we're catering to everyone first try.

Same thing for very pale-skinned people

But fenty's foundation range is ALL yellow toned. It sucks :((

@@lalalola. Because Fenty was founded in 2017, not early 2000's or last century.

Aleksandra darker people existed before 2017 though?? wtf is your point

You’re my hero!!💕💕💕 What pallets are you using? I live for purple eye shadow!!

And I am.......62!! ..... and I so very much use color and will until the day I turn up in an urn....:)

Dot Hill We’re on the same page. ❤️❤️

That's great. But I honestly think it stems from that awful blue eye shadow and red lip phase. That was popular for them when they were young. It's extremely dated, didn't look good then and doesn't now. And the people wearing it are the ones who are older.

@@jenat82 I personally have never paired blue eye shadow with red lipstick nor would I. In fact, there are so many ways to add color without going overboard.

it is a message older folks heard during the 60's to 90's. It was when stereotypes for women was a big thing.

I manage retirement/assisted living/memory care communities. We wear whatever we like! 😁

My 70yo mom has worn bright red and hot pink lipstick for 30 years and rocks it. I hope I have half her confidence when I'm her age!

I heard this growing up. I’m only 31, but my mom kept getting drawn to bright and shimmery colors and then giving them to me because she was “too old.” Her make up techniques were not very good, looking back I think she just needed to learn how to use them.

right! i work in a beauty retail job & im quite bright in style, so a lot of older ladies always say “ i wish i could do that” or something of that nature & it kinda makes me sad! like go off girl go dye your hair pink!! put on a bright lippie! live your best life, makeup has no age

Angela Sicilian yah that statement made me laugh out loud and I was doing my makeup 💪🏻🤪

This is pretty much the first thing I will say when I start my own RU-vid channel 😂 Although, I didn't work in makeup, I worked in finance 🤣🤪🤣

MsGlamourcat 🍇🌈 love it

😂👏😂

Tell ‘em Robert

That’s such a great way to put it!! 🖤🖤

@@RobertWelsh Thank you ❤

Agreed

I get your standpoint on the one hand, with us extremely pale people not having shades and that not even being slightly as bad as nearly an entire race being left out. Yet I think that it's shit that extremely fair people are being left out of so many brands. More and more deep tones are being added to the shade ranges which is absolutely amazing, yet I think that they should expand their pale shades more.

@@Christina-lv4mu But I guess it also has to do with the culture of self-tanning? Idk about you but I've noticed that A LOT of extremely fair people end up self-tanning. In fact, they are ashamed of their extremely fair skin tones and feel more confident with a tan on. Perhaps that's why brands don't feel as extreme of need to include extremely fair shades? I hope you can educate me on this if you have a different opinion.

𝓛𝓾𝓷𝓮. Well I’m mixed so I’m in the middle and most brands (drugstore and high end) don’t have my shade, they are always too yellow or too gray.

@@beigehues here comes the pale princess

I have the same feeling! That's why i will never buy anything limited edition 😭

Ya but then they make more money because you are searching for that color again therefore spending more money on products. It is very unfortunate for the consumer though.

Limited Edition is mostly a business gimmick. They know that if they put the title “limited edition” on something, it makes customers think that if they don’t jump at the chance to buy it right away on full product will disappear and you’ll lose out on the opportunity to get the product again. The same thing happened with me with the brand Too Faced. Sephora and Ulta Beauty sells Too Faced products, especially limited edition, so once the limited edition period was over, those products would disappear out of those stores. It was not too recent when I went on the Too Faced to browse their inventory, only to find that their “limited edition” products are “not so limited.”

@@kristinbagani2811 at sephora they had an amazing body gel that was perfect for my skin and it was discontinued, only to bring a similar product with less quantity and higher price🙃

Shouldn't that causes you to save money vs waste?

👏🏼👏🏼🖤

You are so pretty! I can't believe you're 51 you go girl

Get it girl! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wait what?! 51?! Girl you look good 20 years younger 😍 Gorgeous ❤️👏🏼

I’m 43, and I wear what I want! The great thing is that I just don’t care what anyone thinks about it!

I personally find zero need to be further marketed to. To each their own, I like being past the bullshit.

and the products that ARE marketed fo older people are expensive as all hell, it's really unfair tbh...

But I also would like to see less "smoky eye" looks too! I am middle age (52) and am just really starting to realize how fun make up can be, I'd just like something a bit less dramatic than the smoky look :-)

Antoinette Gingras Hi, Try a Smokey eye in a brown or purple. It’s really pretty on older eyes with the lighter colours, I find black aging. Also I’m 54 and find Natasha Denona eyeshadow colours and shimmers perfect for older eyes, they look beautiful on. Much better than Viseart, Pat McGrath, ABH (although ABH Glam palette is stunning on), MELT, or Charlotte Tilbury. Natasha has a lot of older clients and she designs her formulas (especially the older palettes such as the green/brown 28-pan but also the newer mini glam, gold or nude palettes) for mature eyes. Also I love coloured eyeliners. Marc Jacobs eyeliners have always been my favourites but Fenty have just brought out some colourful eyeliners that are even more waterproof than MJ! I put the eyeliner on and then use a Zoeva 226 Smudger Brush to smudge/move the eyeliner to where I want it. Always looks good!! Sorry for rambling, I just love talking about and experimenting with makeup.

Hell yes preach

I work at a drugstore and while tidying makeup I noticed a black model in one of the pictures (it was one of the main brands, might have been L'Oréal). It surprised me that I'd noticed so I looked around and realised EVERY single other model on these drugstore brands' promos were white. And clearly the only reason they'd chosen a black model for that product was because it was bright coloured eyeliner, so it stands out more on darker skin, whereas their other products presumably stand out more on lighter skin. These brands don't care about equality or inclusion, they literally only care about sales.

Robin H., considering we tend to have more dollars than women in their 20's, you would think they would cater to us more.

My mom is in her early 50's and waaay into 90's makeup lol She doesn't like to wear bright colours outside of really special events sadly... But that makes it easy to find eye makeup for her. I got her a little limited edition eyeshadow trio from sephora with a matte beige and two shimmery brown tones and she loves it :) Trying to get her into peaches, purples and reds now because I feel like that would compliment her eye colour a lot

It sickens me that youth is the only beauty noticed these days. People naturally and at e ery age can be beautiful. This obsession with youth is hurting many people even children.

Ana J soooo true, I came here to say this. I see so many beautiful girls on Instagram who are clearly muted (soft summer ans soft autumn) and they look clownish in the bright green, magenta and vivid blue makeup

Being 62 I've actually had people tell me I'm to old for certain makeup or clothing. I fall back on the old saying , " when you pay for my stuff , you can tell me what to wear ".

Good on you! 😊 My own mother used to be too afraid to wear colours, now she's asking if-- when lockdown is lifted-- I'll dye her hair pink. Yes queen! She's come into her own since she turned 60 and I love to see it!

EXACTLY!!!!!!!

Are they allowed to wear makeup?

Emily Griffith yes we are allowed to wear makeup beauty is an important to us muslims

Re aam why do the women have to cover up though, If beauty is encouraged?

@@emilygriffith6702 from what I know, in more conservative islamic communities beauty is something that is enjoyed in private, not in public. For example, women will wear bright makeup and expensive jewerly at home, around the family but cover up when going out in public. Also, in a lot of muslim countries parfume is a very important and can probably be considered a form of beauty. Also, in some countries only women's hair is covered so they can wear a lot of makeup in public as well. Altho I might be missing something, all that I know about muslim comes from men from those cultures and internet

Thank you!! 🖤🖤

What a good way of describing him! I love the sass, but he's also very kind and respectful, too.

That's an underrated comment :D

😂

Just like how ' for men' shampoo doesn't make women's hair fall out lol

So agree 😂👏

I am 41 and only keep a few browns around for funerals 😋 I am a green/purple/teal/pink wearing queen! So I definitely agree! Oh, and love me some hella crazy shimmers and glitters!

I absolutely agree!!!! Thank you!! 🖤🖤

Yes and I’m here for it!

This is a great comment! Love it! Spreading positivity and good communication! I'm all about it!

Amen!!!

Couldn't agree more! I never subscribed or turned on the notifications for any other creator than James and Robert. And thanks to them I have got to know people who are genuinely worth watching, like Jackie Aina, Smokey Glow and RawBeautyKristi. Yes to creative, honest and professional people. No to toxic drama queens and liars...

All shirts I've seen him in are awesome :D

His fashion sense is quality for sure!!

We need to take a moment to appreciate how amazing Robert himself is! But yeah his shirt too!

Totally agree! I think outside of super glam and formal events like weddings you really don't need false lashes!

i agree, everyone's first reaction to looks without falsies is to put them on. yes i do think they look better tbh. but i do not think they are necessary for everyday

Ik I don't need it but I still use it cuz I feel like they make my eye look more dramatic and they make me feel more confident tbh ✨😌

Yessss! I love an eye look without false lashes

yes girl, I hate when people would ask me why I don't put lashes on

Mawera Illingworth I agree, I also hate when people say makeup artist shouldn't learn to work with diverse skin tones 😔 even if their market has a majority one tone, it still excluded the other "few" who want their makeup done. It's strange to be against more options

I think I fall in the "middle range" you described but never found a foundation match in any brand lol the darker shades always too dark for me and the lighter shades are wayyy too light. The medium ones are either cool or warm toned and Im neutral lol

Not all skin tones sell enough to even keep on shelves and not all stores have the space for EVERY SINGLE brand to come out with the never ending shades needed to cover ALL skin tones. So I can understand where the original sentiment came from.

@mawera 👏👏

You could argue that an African brand sold in Africa, does in fact not need to cater to all skin tones. I think there's a difference with IF the brand caters and if stores in a particular location stocks all the shades. I can't see why a shop would have to stock shades that don't sell in that region.

Thank you!! 🖤🖤

Same here!

Yep. Some of his tips have been game changers for me. i love watching and learning from him. Plus he is easy on the eyes. 😊

Right. Makeup brands have got to put ethics first. I can't imagine being a certain skin tone and going shopping and hardly any brand carries my actual skin tone. I can admit I can't even imagine that. I think that's just horrible. And what kind of message is it sending to younger girls of those skin tones? That's horrible.

Yes you said it so well. It used to suck so bad looking at foundation and never being able to find my shade. It would drive me crazy like do ppl think black women don’t like or wear makeup. There’s no excuse for it. Ever. Makeup is universal. Also it’s still the same with so many eyeshadow palettes where so many of the colors are too light and would look so ashy on anyone with darker skin.

@@amyb7823 im telling you its really terrible. I am very very pale. Too pale for nearly every kinda affordable brand other than fenty beauty and my fenty shade is the palest. It's really tough because I can't highlight my undereyes. I can only kinda match my skin tone and that only from one not even affordable enough for me brand. When I contour I always looks like I've got mud in my face. I know that it's extremely rare to find people with my skin tone or lighter but it feels shitty not being able to go to a drugstore and get makeup that has to do with my skin. It makes me feel way too pale. I can't cover up my slight pimples because I look like I've got brown concealer in my face and the concealer that matches me costs 20€, which isn't worth it for me since I don't even enjoy the formula of it

100% agree! I'm one of these nonexistent "inbetween shades". At 23 i still haven't found a matching foundation shade at the drugstore yet. Guess I'll have to wait until I can afford high-end 🤷🏻‍♀️😌

Jack ya have you tried the maybelline fit me foundation? That’s the only drugstore foundation that actually has my shade without me having to mix two.

"Wise lines." I love that. I'm going to use that, hope you don't mind.❤

Rock Mags, ‘deck anyone’ cracked me up. I’m with you. Coming up for 54 and I shimmer. Think mutton dressed as lamb? Don’t like it & feel the need to give me some gentle advice? Oh, I will take you down.

🖤🖤🖤

I'm also a wheelchair user and loved when he said that too 😊

Monika Agreed. Most honest, funny & relatable! 🥰

And Wayne Goss

jeffree star is alao brutally honest, even about his own products (one shade in the blue blood palette is tricky and he did mention that for example), i just don't like that he yampers on and on and on before he gets to the point and he can be a bit two faced sometimes.

Have you watched Samantha Ravndahl’s channel. She ‘s similar to kristi.

Don't forget Smokey Glow

Thank you!! 🖤🖤

I know, I think the same thing.

Oh honey, he will. He DEF will. It's just a matter of time!

Yeah I was going to say... he will...

Jill Shah I think he will too. He's such a genuine, quality person. I really like his content too. He has great, entertaining ideas/content and I like how he points out the differences between "Instagram" or "RU-vid" makeup as opposed to makeup in real life.

Absolutely!!! Fenty is so so successful, and like you said, people found their shades and stuck with the brand! 🖤🖤

Not just shades but actual good product as well. I'm light skinned with cool and pink undertones, Fenty was the first foundation I found that matched perfectly.

Brianna Chenise When Fenty launched their foundation that was the first time that I didn't know which shade I should be getting because I matched to more than one. The first time that I was overwhelmed and it felt so good. I'm a deep dark and live in Europe.

It's not hard to understand, company goal is to make profit. They will produce shade that sales more. Only a small portion has extreme light/dark tone means product will sit longer on the shelves equal less profit.

@@simonethach7134 fake. Because at my sephora the dark tones are always the ones that are sold out. Maybe do research before you excuse racism.

Thank you!! 🖤🖤😝

Same lol

Lydia Copes sooooo true!!!!!!

Totally....like you'd just refill his coffee mug as he speaks...nodding with interest. Then we start planning a covered dish dinner with our other friends

I have told him he should do ASMR videos. His voice is so soothing!

Exactly.. glam looks by insta/youtube folks is glitter/shimmer cut crease or halo eyes with super contour n highlighter everywhere n even ombre lips n baking etc its basically drag.. Scott makes his base to stand out.. even with the big lashes thing. Everyone wants mink lashes super big etc while having alot going on the lid.... he applies those fluffy lashes but eye makeup is always simple.. he doesnt use more than 2-3 shadows. He even said that it looks professional like that than using 5 shades. So everything is balanced

Safira Rara i tried to redo it and it was very heavy for the office lol. Looks great but it’s best for a special occasion for sure.

Yea i agree- do some tutorials on your clients

@@edinne24 yeah it's so thick hehehehe I love it for dancing/carnival/night event look, it feels makeup-ish but not too much. maybe you can tone down and eliminate some products, but still use his technique. I do minimze the bronzing part because I'm not really a bronzing person, only put them lightly on cheeks.

@@emyf9197 and with the addition of harsh, warm lighting [and facetune/photoshop 🤭], urgh it turns to be unpleasing picture. Even some drag queens don't rely on gazillion eyeshadow colors 😁 I saw some drag queens on their makeup, they pick small selection of pigmented shadows/creams, but still in thick application to make their look stand out.

🖤🖤

It's also basically saying " it's okay to be racist." But that's my personal opinion.

Joann Hope true.

I think it’s fine if they don’t also get mad at the brands that heavily cater to darker skin... But those people tend to do just that haha.

Quality over quantity tho. I'd rather have a few perfect shades/formulas than a lot of shit ones

princessptfo so you can enjoy that perfect foundation, but other people can’t? It’s a cop out. They have the money to create every shade in that perfect formula they just made. It’s not give and take; they can have it both ways.

omg where could I find that? was it on youtube?

@@sunnyr.9670 - On Tati Westbrook’s RU-vid channel. Glamlife Guru.

I support this 100%. Do not give money to companies that aren’t willing to be inclusive. You vote with your money. Don’t vote for people who aren’t willing to work for you.

I’m the same way. Recently I saw Almay...ALMAY in the drugstore extend their foundation lines like 2 shades deeper. They really think they are doing something. 🙄 I just rolled my eyes and walked away. If you have a track record of being exclusive, you will NEVER receive my money. Money is power. You will never have that over me.

That's how I found him! So glad I did!

Yesss they release ALOT! 🖤🖤 hope you are well Michelle! 🖤🖤

I’m doing really well! I hope you are doing well and having a wonderful day as well:) ❤️❤️❤️

Some shadows are soooooo pretty but their palette system and it's color scheme are confusing.

I decided to never buy from them. Tried once and got annoyed how a £9 eyeshadow become a £23 pounds purchase since they kept on putting more and more money as I tried to purchase it, specially sales tax. Just had it to the product price already, it's dead annoying.

Holy crap, this is EXACTLY the brand I thought of when it comes to releasing TOO MUCH. They are the Fast-Fashion of makeup and good gods, it is just TOO MUCH

I am from India and people here have extremely light - light - medium - dark - deep dark skin tones. But most people have medium skin tones. People here are obsessed with fair skin and you can see a lot of fairness cream and fairness soaps. People use lighter foundations and end up looking ashy. Indian makeup brands only make foundations and other base products in 3 - 8 shades in which 90 % of the shades are for lighter skin tones and 10 % of the shades for medium skin tones.

I am the same way!

Exactly this like I'm pale with more of a cold undertone so most things are to orange and to dark but there will still be something that's close and can be fixed with concealer and more blending. For people of color it's way more common that a line of foundation doesn't have something that's even remotely close to their skin color. They used to be and still are highly unrepresented. Whereas I myself need to go outside more

@@gwendolynjonkers8695 I'm the same and I think since lockdown I've gotten worse. Used my normal shade (done in not great lighting) for a ID photo and it wasn't until I was at work that I realised I had the dreaded orange line near my jaw/neck. Looks like I'll need to find a new shade, and possibly a new brand if it turns out they changed their colours slightly when they revamped their product packaging

Man I feel this hard. I'm Korean/Black and I gave up on makeup for the longest time because 1. American makeup instantly broke out my sensitive skin back in the day like I put it on and instant bumps and 2. I'm in that same Medium-light category most of the time but hard to match since 2 seconds in the sun darkens me up so I had my pale neutral ass chest, dark golden yellow neck and my face shade changed constantly depending on how much of a hermit I could be. And ironically nothing was warm enough for me. Anytime someone tried to color match me since I knew zero about make up and still beginner now, it was too dark and/or too neutral. I was always in between shades and everything looked wrong. I just wanted to be like my friends or family who could pick out their shade but here I was having to guess at mixing stuff up to make it work for right color and work with my extremely picky, sensitive, oily oily skin. So its nice that I finally have stuff that I can actually wear after.... 9 years.

3ofClovers What foundation do you use now?

@@maximumeffort78 Just last week I got the Uoma Beauty Say What Foundation because of the Leap year sale in Honey Honey T1W and it perfectly match me I was so happy, just need to get a good primer to help out my pores with it tho (good primer for me is still work in progress). I can't get money for that all the time however, so the one I was using before was depending on coverage I want. Lighter days I use the Missha M perfect BB cream in 27, I have to use lightly colored powders on top sometimes with it and different ones depending on my skin shade at the time tho like Besame in medium and/or mixed with the warm tan or the Maybelline Fit me loose powders in I think medium. Medium coverage its the Colourpop stick foundation in 110w mixed with the A'pieu Madecassoside stick foundation. Sometimes I can get concealer that is much like the yellow I need but too dark and mix it with my just a tad lighter foundations to work. ^ ^;; Still have to mix but I can't wait to try out the Uoma one in summer for me. The real test, but I really like it so far for the finish and of course actually matching.

YES. I totally relate to this. I try to load on the sunscreen so I stay as true to my natural pale ass skin tone (I'm not even that fair, I'm in between a NC25-30 at my fairest) because as soon as I get even A SLIGHT tan, my skin is this weird mix of neutral olive-yellow that NO FOUNDATION has gotten right. The closest I've gotten is Too Faced Light Beige and Revolution C&D in F8.2. Even then, they run a little too neutral-pink so I have to balance it out with a yellow-toned concealer. Ugh, the struggles

Yes absolutely! 🖤🖤

Yeah also reapplying sunscreen over makeup

When I need to apply sunscreen over makeup, I use a spray.

Definitely include hot/dry and hot/humid

YESSS IT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA FOR A VIDEO, I HAVEN'T FOUND A GOOD VIDEO ABOUT THIS

Yeeeees

I love smokey glow too! One of my favorites!

Yes agreed! 🖤

Thank you Lydia!

Lydia Copes yes! practice what you preach! I’d love to see this step more often and get recommendations.

Oh god! So true.... I must wear sunscreen even inside because a skin problems and I often ser that nobody do this step!!! I decide to experiment doing it like primer and I love it!!

😂🖤

Or baking is for cakes, not your face! Omg I'd buy some merch! That's such a good idea!

I would buy it so fast.

Colleen Andrawis Me too!

Make-up ! No Cake-up!

😂😂😂😂🖤

That all nighter makes my skin look crusty and didn’t know why until Robert said that it may have powder in it and I can’t do powder on my face

shyanne paro you probably have dry skin. I have dry skin too. Before putting on makeup I give my face a good amount of rich moisturiser, then I wait for it to sink in for 15 mins, then makeup. Then I seal the whole thing with Fenty powder and All nighter mist. It really helps, maybe you can try it.

Giang Ơi ya I do I have sever eczema

It's interesting because I use the Skindinavia setting spray which does a good job, has no smell I can discern but, apparently, is exactly the same thing as All Nighter.

Idk if Robert has but Wayne Goss has. Check out his video on keeping your makeup products and tools hygienic 👌.

True!!

So true. I used to be quite pale so for some brands the foundation shades were just a tad dark for me, but even then - I realise I have TONNES of brands to choose from that have my shade, no matter how pale I am, and it would just be a shade too dark. Too many people can't find a shade anywhere near their skintone, it's ridiculous and I'm glad we are seeing an uprising in inclusive brands

@@TheRisingIcarus what are those tonnes of brands? I'm pale and never find a shade light enough for me in stores.... And shades too dark look bad on your face as the rest of your body will be even lighter then your face... What brands are you using? I think I once saw a 0.8 in a really expensive Lancome foundation but the undertone was way off.

EXOmake_meHorololo ! I’m also an extremely pale person. I use L’Oréal infallible liquid matte foundation in shade rose pearl. I also like the maybelline fit me in fair porcelain. I have a rose/pink undertone and those are two foundations I currently use. I will say the maybelline one tends to be a little lighter than the L’Oréal but I usually mix the two anyway and it matches very well. They’re both also pretty good coverage

@@TheRisingIcarus I'm a very pale guy, i use Maybelline's Fit Me foundation in the number 110, it's a very good foundation for oily/normal every-day makeup! And i think there is a lighter shade in the collection. If you can't still don't find a foundation, you can use the LAColor's foundation that is pure white to mix in with your current foundation!

Yes yes yes!!! And how on earth to stop or minimize the marks on nose from glasses it ruins my makeup i dont wear my glasses all the time but if i say go to cinema i need them then when i take them off to go about my day my nose makeup ruined!!

Put eyeshadow primer on your nose bridge!

@@ambitionroad thanks will try this!!

😝🖤🖤🖤

Thank you so much Nadia! 🖤🖤🖤

I couldn’t agree more, Nadia. I love the way that Robert tackled that one head on.

Robert Welsh of course! It takes guts and it shows that you truly do care. ❤️❤️

lainey2988 exactly! Didn’t tiptoe around it like most people would.

Nadia Nanette agreed! That’s why I’ve always loved MUFE, they’ve had 50 shades for years and years.

Yea that’s all my old managers from the salon! 😂 🖤🖤🖤

Omg that was a whole mood!!!! 😂

Hahaha yes 👏🏻👏🏻

Well go for one that makes your shade then. Simple.

THANK YOU

I think this is a bit of an American/European centric opinion. I do think there are places on Earth where a makeup company that only sells in say, one or two countries, would genuinely lose money if they made foundation colours for every skin tone. Whether that money loss is worth making 0.01 of consumers feel included is a calculation I think every business is going to have the same conclusion on.

princessptfo wow what a perfect solution! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

princessptfo and if none make my shade then what? Clearly this is something you never had to worry about. So cuz it doesn’t effect you who cares. Can’t relate 🙄

Jörunn von Westernhagen Robert Welsh it could be a breif, affordable, class too with a test at the end. Like what we take in my state to get a food handlers card from the health department for food safety, but maybe a tad longer. It's one day, only a few hours long, and must be retaken every few years. I think its unfortunate that the US doesn't do that sort of thing for makeup application because beauty/cosmetology schools only cover sanitation as it relates to hair only. There are only a few makeup schools in the entire US so most makeup artists don't have the opportunity to attend one.

@@tankgirl2444 I just commented something similar! Though, my comment was a mini essay, but yes, same idea!

Sadly, many states (USA) don't require any for of training or licensing for makeup and are actually trying to deregulate licensing for hair and nails services. 😣

yeah that's like how they do it for tattoo shops. they have to take a sanitation and blood borne pathogens exam. that's the most important thing in these industries (i'm in hair and i wouldn't mind if they did away with "professional" licensure as long as they kept sanitation certs.)

See for hairstylists, in Ontario, you need you be licensed to work in a salon and you need your card with you at all times cause if they catch you they’ll fine you and the salon that let you do that. It used to be if at least one person had to be licensed but you either have to be licensed or an apprentice you can’t just cut hair anymore not even in your own business/home. Which tbh makes sense. I think makeup artists need something similar to that cause all I know is you don’t need any certification or regulation to work in a salon as an mua

Yes queen

LOL so much truth! I do muted versions of brighter colors, not straight up neons or primary colors (personal preference/what looks good on my skin, I love the looks on others in all age groups), smoke out my eyes, use shimmers, love duochromes, my love of color is obvious. Also in my 40s, and like you, receive compliments when I do my eyes. It’s definitely all about technique, tones of a color, and what brings a person joy. Nobody “ages out” of makeup!

I don't know. Wait til you turn SIXTY-friggin- two (like me) and get unbelievably crepey eyelid skin and hooding. Make-up application becomes very tricky. Very difficult to blend shadows when your skin moves with the brush.

@@ritasicari7518 Upgrade to softer fluffier blending brushes. Use the sparkly and bright colors as accents, with matte mid tone and sculpting colors. I do my 73 year old mom's eye makeup, and she already had a hooded eye, before she got older. She has these great olive green eyes and I just love using a the dark metallic copper liner to show them off.

I like you. 😂 I’m 37 and I wear whatever colors I like. Fight me!! We got this.

Yes I was looking for this comment

Question from a kiwi - how can they monitor/enforce this law to people outside of the states, eg. Robert being in England and having a viewer in the US?

😝🖤🖤

I love the skeleton Mickey ring and want one for myself!

😂😂😂

J K Seriously, It Cosmetics ONLY sells shades for white people with warm-toned medium skin. They exclude like 94% of the entire human population from their shade range, including anyone who is cool toned, olive toned, fair, or dark 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you!! 😝🖤

Robert Welsh What’s your opinion on “PICTURRESQUE | REGINA”? Could you possibly do a reaction video to one of her looks?

I love when he wears contacts too. I’m just in love with him, his channel & his brother. They’re the best 🥰

Thank you so much Kylie!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Same!!

Or only one size of plus size. I’m on the lower end of the “plus size” so I can tell what the clothes will look like on me. But what about all the other gals?! And not only that but Apple shape? Pear? All you ever see is hourglass.

🙌🏻 THIS 🙌🏻

Misty Winters true. Also calling out small indie brands that could not afford or sustain a larger selection.

Well I have seen that k beauty has a lot of issues in terms of inclusivity, yes they mainly try to sell to Korean people BUT they're a lot of Korean people who aren't: fair, white, milk. Skin tones, like more medium or tan skin and they can't even find their shades, it's stupid.

His point still stands whether it's a big brand, or a small one exclusive to that country. Not having shades to cater to other skin tones sends the clear message that that brand is not thinking of people like you. Also mentioning K and J beauty brands isn't the best example considering the rampant colorism in both of those countries. I guarantee you the limited shades they have are leaving out a huge chunk of the population that run darker and end up being targeted for skin bleaching products.

😝🖤🖤🖤🖤

Aw Thank you!! 🖤🖤

I’ve learned SO much ..& I’m 39 🥴🤪. He’s such a refreshing person & channel. He’s the best 🥰
