Hey everyone! So the first thing I’m doing today is sorting out my eyebrows! This video is no shade to Huda or her skills or business. Baking clearly isn’t for everyone and works for others... it’s clearly not for me! Do you bake??? Also, it may be my British sense of humour, but when I say “very unprofessional” I’m not genuinely trying to insult Huda.. I’m just joking 😝

When’s your ‘ban baking’ merch coming out?

Things I love about this channel: 1) That I actually learn something. 2) when Robert stares at the camera, doesn't say a thing but you know what he's thinking. 3) He's critical without being "rude, shady, arrogant or mean". 4) He's fun.

I’m a middle aged woman with DRY skin. The only thing I bake is cookies. ❤️

''She is a business woman. She is clearly a very clever business woman. Emm ... because she has made a lot of money ... and that's clever''. I am crying.

She puts on a full layer of liquid highlighter before her foundation and then says she needs to bake because she'll always looks greasy. I-

Huda: “sometimes I bake during meetings” Robert:”very unprofessional” Me: you got told💀💀💀💀💀

i love how sarcastic he is, yet never offensive

I’ll never get over how actual stage makeup techniques were pushed like they’re a good fit for normal lighting and looking at people close up

Ur a breath of fresh air from all these fake muas damn

WE LIVE FOR ROBERT AND HIS CUTE LITTLE EVIL LAUGH

Honestly, sometimes I wonder if the real goal is to mess everyone's skin up so bad with all of these products that they don't feel comfortable without makeup.

The thing I don't trust about online personalities like Huda Kattan is that they're all very.... dogmatic, i.e. "you need to buy this," "you have to use this product," "f you don't have this product you will get terrible results" because the only universal truth in beauty is that nothing is guaranteed to work for everyone. When somebody pushes a product or technique super hard without so much as a caveat like "this might not work perfectly for you depending on your skin type" then you know they're either not knowledgeable or just dishonest.

When he said “unprofessional” about her baking during meetings or whatever I cackled THE SHADE

Huda: "If you bake, you actually look less cakey" Me: laughs in my graduation photos

7:24 imagine someone breaks into your home and now you gotta defend it with some powdery shit under your eyes

*everyone in the beauty community fighting* Robert: ‘calm down it’s just makeup’

I hate how she says baking is crucial. No technique is for everyone. The pushiness of it just screams marketing! I'm trying to sell you my powder!

Huda: “I only use OUR baking powder! :)” Robert: **looks into the camera like he’s in the Office**

“If you don’t bake you’re gonna look really greasy”. Uh no, I have dry skin. I crave that little bit of oil that comes through my foundation by the end of the night.

I love how Robert just laughed and went "okay...um...okay.....okay" when Huda said baking makes it less cakey😂😂😂😂

If my dog chewed up a la mer product I would make it get a part time job at Sephora to pay me back.

i love how she doesn't mention that her face is so shiny because she lathers on her body glow stuff under the foundation. So her face wouldn't be that shiny if she wasn't using it.

Huda: if you bake you actually look less cakey Robert: *malfunctions*

a philosopher once said "let's just calm down, it's just makeup" - Robert Welsh

I must be insane, but I prefer the dewy look on everyone. You look HEALTHY. Your fine lines and wrinkles are hidden because they’ve sucked up that goodness. It’s just such a gorgeous look on everyone.

Huda: “I only use OUR powder” Robert: *looks directly into the camera* 😂😂😂

I’d actually love to see you react to goth makeup - but not in a degrading “oh this is weird way” like a lot of mainstream society does (not that would you would that at all!) I’d just be interested to see what you think about the shapes and build of colours and stuff!

I need a “very unprofessional” t-shirt! I want one in every color!

I love how you have to point out that your scar is a scar and not a half filled in eyebrow... it's hilarious.

I always thought I‘m the only one who does not like baking

“You should invest in the right baking powder” “oh yeah” 😂😂 kills me every time

its so sad how i was tricked for 5 YEARS into baking my face and being convinced that it was necessary. i have extremely oily skin and acne so i would powder the CRAP out of my skin only for it to separate and make me look washed out every single day. i didnt even question the baking or the powder because i thought it was crucial. now i only use a small bit of powder, my makeup never separates (thank god) and my face looks healthy all day. im so glad i dont bake anymore

“baking BROWS” “uuuh no, sorry, no no noo no noooo”

"If you don't bake you'll look greasy!" *screams in dry skin*

My god Huda Kattan is only 37 years old, and she looks like 50 ...with all that makeup...

Imagine confronting someone breaking into your house while you're baking your under eyes 😂

I've actually never seen a real MUA (one that went to school for it) use baking. Only on social media. Or maybe I just don't know a lot of them idk.

I love how he laughs everytime he hears some kind of BS and he's like "ok"

“This pig is a very oily person” me ahaha

When she said “baking actually makes you look less cakey” Insert Robert: *shady boots cackle 😂😂😂

I think it’s annoying when MUAs like Huda almost shame people into buying a product . Too much baking does make the skin cakey and different skin types react differently.. Okay rant over lol

Huda Kattan and Jaclyn Hill... I swear to God I can't tell who is who half the time.

Huda: “when you bake you look less cakey.” Robert: “Okay. Huhnanhhuh. Okay.”

Huda: OK BAKING BROW-- Robert: error 404 robert.exe has stopped working

This is what toothpaste brands do they show a large amount of toothpaste than you really need which should be a pea size amount so that you go through it faster, buy more.

She puts her liquid highliter and starts glowing more than sun and then uses her full coverage foundation and boom the glow is gone😂

That long intense stare after she said she only uses her power. I can’t, that had me rolling.

Can we boot these “ beauty influencers “ ?? I feel like they have saturated the beauty world of false information. Also when most of them have Botox, the best of the best lights and skin care. Of course it’s going to look flawless. Not to mention they then edit the picture they post. I’m seriously over them..

"Never baked a client" imagine someone hearing this without context...lol

I can’t even put concealer or foundation without feeling that I’m using a los of product or feelling my skin textured, I really can’t imagine baking, it would be a dissaster. But as you said, if it works for someone else then go for it, the good thing about makeup is that it can be so personalized 🖤

Did anyone notice her smile lines and cheek area looks weird when she makes facial expressions why does it look like that??? 👀 also baking is drying af

And girl, my skin is dry as hell, if i bake I'll look like a raisin.

No one : Robert in every video: it’s a scar

As someone with über dry skin, the concept of baking always made my eye twitch

Rob: “I’m actually going to try, I’m not going to be holding my powder .. whoa!, getting powder everywhere and everything is just so funny” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I live for your silent judgemental stares😂 "Very unprofessional"😂😂

“It’s a scar” 😂😂😂 the shade

Love this channel. As a 46 yo adult, I’m tired of the beauty world drama. I’ve recently come back to wearing and playing with make-up after about 5 years of going “natural’. The tips and techniques are fantastic. Your sense of humor is cutting but not mean. Thank you for keeping everything on your channel about make-up and not TEA 🙏🏼😎🌈

The level of class in every word of Robert hits the sky every time

My fav rob reactions "Very unprofessional" "So far not so good" "Baking Brows?!? No. I'm sorry. No. No. No no no no no no. No. Noooooo. No no no no. Okay. So. Absolutely not" "Ugh ughhh" "I can happily say I won't be doing it again" "You must have some kind of miracle moist under eyes "

Oh and imagine being in an important meeting and the person who should be in charge is baking their eyebrow lmao

just doing this channel and i’m obsessed!! i love how he is so real because a lot of mua’s hardly ever show or talk about how their makeup looks way different irl than on camera under perfect lighting. super helpful and refreshing to hear those things!

Can we take a moment just to appreciate how much effort he puts to teach us✨👏🏻

When he laughs like that you know he's about to rip someone a new ass in the most polite English way possible. 🤣🤣 I love it!

will never understand the obsession with small/thin noses. one of those eurocentric beauty standards i will literally never understand

I love how professional you are and how well you explain everything with such detail

So glad I came across this channel. Thankyou Robert for being so genuine and honest. Learning so much!!

There’s a fine line between instagram MUA makeup and being Manchester girl

The only people I seen baking in real life is drag queens or performers. Why, because they are under bright lights.

Rob, I love your videos. For so long I've struggled and fought with thick foundations, breaking out, and texture issues. Your videos really helped my complexion makeup!

I LOVE how honest you are! So refreshing!

Your tag line should be “Friends don’t let friends bake.”

I love when he giggles at utter foolishness, super cute and shady lol

I love how honest and open you are in your videos ❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! Baking has always looked horrifying on my skin, especially under my eyes! I’ve laid a lot of money on a lot of expensive powders highly recommended by influencers for it all to come out looking creased and dry and my pores looked HUGE! It is so refreshing hearing someone actually explain why this happens. I can’t say enough how much you’ve helped my makeup and my peace of mind 🙂

Did I just hear, " If you bake, then you'll look less cakey,"? Oh, no, no.

“Makes lines appear that weren’t there before” is the perfect way to put it. They literally used it for dusting for finger prints at crime scenes.

Robert, I just recently discovered your channel (yes, I've been living under a rock) and you are amazing! Love that you clarified the fact that you are a "real-life" mua and not just a YT mua. Huge difference! Sending ❤ from Michigan

I just started watching your videos thank you for actually teaching realistic techniques and theories and not just trends! I love your energy and your professionalism...subscribed!

Not to mention, she has had a LOT of plastic surgery, her face barely moves, she doesn't even need half of that makeup! (No offense meant)

Huda: *says something that isn’t really true* Robert: let me just stop that right there

Wow, I love how you open everyone’s eyes up to sometimes unpopular and unheard opinions... you have taught me so much and I’ve only watched you for a few days😂. You really teach me the difference between a professional makeup artist vs a influencer. I love your videos! ❤️😊

Love your honesty Robert!! I truly believe all that you say about makeup, because you are a pro pro proffesional!!

all of your shade is delivered in your silent stares 😂 we stan a professional queen 👑

“Why have you not baked your brows🙃”😂♥️

It's amazing how Robert hates baking and yet his application is so much cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than hers 🤩

I love how you are a professional educating instead of this people who just want more money. I love you for that!

When she says you look less Cakey and he started laughing and stuttering 😂😅😂😂😂 He is legit hilarious 😂😂😂

[Huda: and if you bake, you actually look less cakey]. (pause) Okay - (evil laugh) One second...This - okay - so...this - if you - okay um...” best part of the video hands-down 😂

I loveeeeee how honest you are . Need more honesty in the beauty community! Thank you 😍

I remember seeing all the KZfaq MUA’s talking about baking when it was really becoming popular and how it makes the skin looks so smooth and flawless. At the time I was in my early 30s with probably the early stages of crows feet. I decided to try and bake my under eye area and when I did it looks so cakey and craggy. On top of that I felt like a reverse raccoon. I know it’s supposed to brighten the center of your face and make your eyes pop but it was just so super lite especially with the way I like to kind of bronze around my face and contour a little. It’s just so heavy and my skin broke out very bad after doing that.

"If you bake, you will actually look less cakey..." "OK *evil laugh* "

In my 1970’s Theatrical Makeup book there is some “baking” techniques which is obviously intended for theatrical productions under specific lighting and using very specialized makeup intended for the stage. I think a light handed dusting of powders to set makeup has never given me a cake-like appearance, but baking has always done very little for me. I only use “baking” techniques on stage makeup because it does help the product stay in place and I even use eyeshadows to further blend the paint I’ve done. This whole baking thing, of course - also has origins in Drag/Ballroom Culture and the popularization of drag because of RPDR. And, as you know, there is a reason why Drag Queens often make jokes about how terrible their makeup looks in daylight... is because, it can tend to look pretty harsh outside of club lighting. Also, also, everyone knows that theatre lighting, dancing and everything that is involved in putting on a show - so, the powder helps prevent sweat from melting theatrical makeup. My point is - light “baking” isn’t terrible, terrible but for the most part - it is a technique that is more suited for cameras, lighting and the stage. Seeing young girls coming into the cosmetic department with blocky eyebrows or harsh contouring or using Instagram techniques really is... it isn’t it, sis, and I am a big appreciator of the avant-garde and weird makeup designs. I am also a fan of natural, clean base makeup then fun eyeshadow looks...

I’m so happy that this channel exists. I’ve had to learn a lot of this the hard way.

Oh my god the side by side true honesty at the end!!!! I wish all youtubers would do that!

Imagine someone breaking in and you’re just baking in front of a camera 😂😂😂

Also, can I say that the beauty guru's did us all so dirty by convincing us we needed to put a slice of pizza under our eyes

i just love how honest you are to people. It's the first time I saw a youtube chanel/video whos whole point is to educate people about quality products/make up and whatnot and not trying to just be beautiful on social media. I really really love you!😘😘😘 😘

Yes this is weird but I wish I could buy 2 mini Robert and James's you both just cheer me up so much and I could listen to both of you all day long! Xx
