What I’m trying to say about the science contour - Makeup contour isn’t washed away by light/flash like the natural shadows of our bone structure. So to put contour in those areas will just look flat in pictures and certain lighting situations 👍🏼

That chick trying to look sultry while wiping lipstick off her damn chin has been the highlight of my day 💀

Robert is always gracious and a gentleman. But his micro-expressions tell us when he thinks something is stupid, lol

if I see another person tying a band around their lip until it's about to pop I'm going to lose my actual sh*t.

The tying off parts of the lip to get a "plumper" look from the swelling is a great way to burst something in your lip and create lasting damage. It looked like the bottom part was bleeding. It just makes me so uncomfortable.

Omg I died at “maybe they don’t like men who don’t wear make up”. As someone who is attracted to “feminine” men (looks and personality wise) this made my day.

As someone who is, in fact, more interested in men who do makeup (aesthetically at least, I’m aroace), I think the whole “women shouldn’t wear makeup because it’s not attractive to ME” is hilarious. You cannot get one single woman to stand your presence for more than 2 minutes, Gary, maybe you shouldn’t be this picky when you look like an infected toe? Concealer could do wonders on that attitude of yours.

Went on a blind date yesterday , the guy that sent me pics of himself 20 years ago said he doesn’t like women in make up or high heels or trousers 😂😂😂 wtf I said well I fancied you 20 years ago when your profile pic was taken

Preach!!! I don't have a single makeup product that states 'for women only' on it. I get people on my Instagram telling me 'you'll never be a woman', 'your grandkids will be so ashamed', 'do your wife and kids support this' etc. It's simultaneously hilarious and disappointing that people still have these rigid ideas about who has to do what in society!

I swear the lady with the rubber bands looked like she got punched. The men creating makeup is similar to men who wore heels long before women, to boost their height and appear more masculine. So a lot of what is now considered feminine started for men to feel badass.

Im in a few feminist circles and the makeup hatred is very intense, but it's mostly directed at the beauty industry itself, because it's true that many of these brands benefit from people's insecurities. I've known women who couldn't leave the house without wearing makeup, it was their crutch and it's sad. I personally love the creativity of makeup, and I find the history of makeup fascinating, but I think it's important to acknowledge the unsavoury aspects of the makeup world, too.

Yes men always assume why women wear makeup but never really ask them. Everyone’s reasons for what and how they wear makeup is different.

Something about seeing someone with elastics on their lips always makes me feel sick 😣 I hate it

I am tired of people telling me how important it is to look at all the details of my eyes. I wear glasses to see at all. I can't see my whole eye when they are on and cant see shit when they are off. I do my makeup with a lot of makeup remover, tears and promises to G-d.

My BOYS are 24 now and when they were at school, they would ask me to put a bit of concealer on their blemishes all the time! My brother, also wears makeup if he wants to cover anything. He also has Botox and other procedures done too. Men who are secure enough to ask for help when they need it are proper men, in my opinion. Boorish Neanderthals who just beat their chests are not appealing anymore. Most women want a guy who takes care of themselves, IMO 🤷🏻‍♀️🫶🖤💜

Oh my god the second video 😂 It said "Homemade lip filler" in the beginning, so I guess the "hack" is to try to achieve the effect of lip filler with those elastics to make your lips swell up? But then I don't understand the point of applying lipstick with them still on, because as the video shows she ruined her makeup trying to take the elastic off... I don't know. I don't get it lmao

I died when he said “Maybe they don’t like men who don’t” (wear makeup). Men who wear makeup are sexy.

Watching you watch these videos is like watching Miranda Priestly look at a new collection. “He pursed his lips, he thinks its crap.”

I love how you never say "it's stupid" but always explain why it's stupid without harsh words. This is professionalism and really precious

So I wrote a book based on research I did about fashion/makeup/body presentation in the LGBTQ+ community and one of the conclusions I came to is that people like makeup because it’s art you can shamelessly show off. As an artist, I don’t walk around with my paintings all day yelling “look at this”! But I do my makeup and make my own clothes and walk around in public and talk to people and therefore get to promote my art in a more socially acceptable way

THANK YOU for your little rant at the end (and book recommendation!) The 'science of contour' ignores that we are not just skin covering a skull and that we do not all have the same skull or desired outcome. That 'masculine contour' is often used for aging or 'sick and dying' on screen & stage. My cheekbones are most prominent on the sides, and I contour to make them look less prominent face-on. It is rarely performed in West, but there is even surgery people undergo to have cheekbones shaved down. So, even when people desire a look that overlaps with eurocentric beauty standards, it is not always achieved with eurocentric techniques. Sweeping generalisations about the best way to have a good-looking skull are uncomfortably close to phrenology.

I always get a bit distracted when the camera zooms in a bit, and the neon sign suddenly shows OBERT WELSH, or my personal favorite BERT ELSH. Great video as always!

I just haaaate the lip tying thing. It looks like what I think a hernia looks like and 🤢🤢🤢

I think what's so cool about you, Robert, is your quiet confidence when talking about makeup. We can see how you can be silly or shy in other areas but your professionalism shines. Would you consider talking about "no makeup look for screen" techniques? RawBeautyKristi did a video a few years back where she recreated that "period drama" or historical "perfect skin" look where you literally can't telll they're wearing anything using precise concealing etc.

I love your perspective on what makeup means to different people. I don't wear makeup for vanity's sake...it's a form of expression, an art, a hobby and now a profession. A passion for me. Anyway, thanks for that. Well said.

This is a conversation my dad once had with a coworker. Basically this guy wasn't so happy about his looks. To which my dad responded with: "Well women have makeup" as in: "Most women wear makeup to look that way, men don't use that." and that lead us to a bigger discussion. In which I said it should be normalized for men to wear makeup. And he said others shouldn't criticize others for what they wear and do. Because it doesn't affect them. But that overall men don't have a culture for makeup and usually don't and won't wear makeup. I on the other hand was proud to see one of the brands I love and support created a makeup line specifically for men. Plain black packaging, men or something below the brand name. And they had some stable basics. Like a cleanser, a moisturizer, a beard and hairline filler, eye cream, concealer, a skin adjusting face tint, brow gel a face mask and more. And I found it not only a great idea but a good line to get people interested and started. Some people hate the idea of makeup for men. But in my personal opinion, if "for men" is included in black boring packaging will make men try this stuff and get interested then more power to them. I feel like we all associate makeup with women needing to be proper and good looking at all times. Or bright drag makeup on men. The thing is I use makeup as a form of art. Some teenage boy might want to use makeup to hide imperfections or make their skin look nicer. Or fill in that patch in their beard that isn't growing for some reason. Why not? Why do people need to complain about this? I bet that if half of those men went to a professional makeup counter they'd leave feeling so self concius about what they have said. They'd look at themselves wishing they could look like like that everyday. Or maybe they'll appreciate the work women do to look like that. And not disrespect them the way they always do. And I'm not saying they need a full face of makeup experience. But some corrective makeup. A tinted moisturizer, some concealer, a bit of bronzer/contour, a slight luminosity, some brow gel and a hint of a defining brown mascara with a dash of lip balm. It'll send them running to the makeup counter for sure.

I swear contouring gets more complex by the day 😅 masculine contour/ feminine contour and contour depending on your face shape. Imma just gonna do what I like the look of on me and give up 😂 these tiktokers honestly

Hi Robert! I’m a 64 year old woman- from Idaho USA and I love your posts. I wear some makeup but honestly, I’m just too lazy to wear it everyday since I have retired. I enjoy your humor, skill and artistic talent and I hope you continue to educate us!

I have really bad anxiety and used to have panic attacks. Makeup helps me deal with anxiety. I get up everyday and I do my makeup even tho I work from home. And I add colour, glitter and whatever I want. I even wear lipstick and would just take my dog for a walk. It’s my little morning ritual with a cup of coffee.

the second girl with the red lips? Omg she almost gave me an anxiety attack😅

The last TikTok reminded me of a Halloween makeup I did for an alien character. I used contour as blush and highlight and highlight as contour. It looked so weird it was perfect.

I can't even with the elastic band lips person. Like what WAS that? I can't help you, Robert! 😂

I tried that crescent method once (high school theater, not enough boys in the cast, you can probably connect the dots) but since my jawline and cheekbones are already prominent, I just looked like a sunken corpse lol

@ 4:27 her look of horror, simultaneously Robert’s perplexed look..what hack?! TO @ 4:55 her hair flip, as if she nailed. At best, it looks likes like a good make out sesh 💋 💋 L&B from 🇺🇸, Bella

I wear makeup because I like it, and I love color, not to look good for men/women. I want to decorate myself with fun colors and glitter, and if anyone doesn’t like it, tough.

So glad you reacted to the lady talking about the history of make-up. I saw that video, loved it and thought you would. I so enjoy you talking about your art

If men were so concerned about the pressures women face because of makeup they’d be interested in removing workplace policies (or unspoken rules) that require it 🙄 Not trolling people for having interests and hobbies

The third one is a Demi Colour by Seint representative. It's an MLM.

"because sometimes it's better to educate yourself before you speak!" SHE NEEDS TO SAY IT LOUDER SO EVERYONE CAN HEAR HER. she's an icon.

Omg the second one with the girl and the lip thing.....please no one do that!! Its disgusting and you could cause SOO much damage!!!

Thanks to Erin Parsons, i know that cavemen used to wear glitter. On their eyes.

That lip! My god that was hard to watch

The lip bondage thing is so weird. I get its too plump the lips but her lipstick wasnt even! There were parts ubtouched because of the rubber band! Can you imagine shopping for calzones and running into a person in lip bondage?

11:55 preach Robert! makeup is for everyone, and means something different to everyone. you can't paint it with just one shade of meaning that's the same for every person.

Idk why, but the lip clip made me really mad 😆 like literally offended by it! Lol

Robert you’re a fuckin legend. Been watching you for a couple of months now and there was a recent vid where you mentioned how nice brown shadows and liner is with blue eyes for weddings. Well I’m a bridesmaid for a very small wedding in one month’s time, so no professional makeup for me. I’m 37 and have blue eyes. I bought the elf mini palette and a natural collection liner (ikr?! tbh I only got it cos I had points to use up but it’s honestly lovely) I still need to practise my blending a little but I’m not horrible at it and growing in confidence everyday. I’m confident I’ll feel great on the day so thank you so much. And the liner by its self for everyday wear is a fucking game changer.

A professional mua, looking at his confusion at the second tik tok , mirroring exactly my expression too...glad I’m not the only one ah ha! Robert is simple, straight forward, old school...simple as in, he based on theory that not only is clever but it makes sense, none of the hype, the craze and trend...just getvon with it and no bs getting viral lol! Love Robert

5:01 😂the technique is how to get the worst lips with the most awful hack and to look like a toddler did your makeup

Omg you reacting to the girl’s “lip technique” and trying to find some iota of sense reminded me of Jennifer Lawrence going “what what do you mean?” during the hot wing challenge. I loved it 😂

For me, makeup is healing. All of it, learning the products, techniques, etc.

Not sure if anyone's suggested this before but would you ever make a video recommending some books for people who are super into makeup? When you brought up pretty boys my ears perked up and I started wondering what other makeup books you might have (whether they're about makeup history, look books, teach makeup techniques etc.). I think that'd be a really interesting video!

Roberts face in the thumbnail looks like hes hiding the pain behind his eyes😂😂😂😂

0:27 Based on science? Pffft! I’d like to see the journal article on that 😂 I get my brows microbladed. She goes by my bone structure. I couldn’t imagine her doing the same brow shape on every client she sees. Science…that makes me laugh

I absolutely agree!! I enjoy beating my face everyday!! I wear a full face of makeup on the daily for me not anyone else!! Thanks Robert!! 👏♥️

I'm not sure what was happening with the lip thing. 🤔 I do know if your sister dares you to put a rubber band around your nose...don't do it. My nose was purple for a week! Great video, you always explain things in simple terms to me. ❤

People who rubber band their lips are just asking for problems. I do not get it. That looks painful and just why?! Also, I had an ex who told me I shouldn't wear make-up. I love the artistry of it, and how you can do make-up to reflect however you feel that day. It is no ones business what you do to make you feel better about yourself or boost your confidence. Make up is magic, and thanks for helping us with that via your videos, Robert!

That second "hack" was the best way of getting half assed lip color 🤨 LOVE YOUR EYE LOOK! 💜💜💜

I just love videos where Robert lays it all for the haters and brainless people to hear and "TRY" to understand LMAO.

Whenever I watch these reaction videos I realize about half way through that I’m so mesmerized by Robert’s stunning profile, and gorgeous eye makeup, that I haven’t seen any of the content he’s reacting to! 😂

Please do makeup and ghost stories for spooky season!!!!

Any time anyone does a tutorial for a one size fits all technique (like the first one you cover in this video) I'm already out. Faces and bone structure vary SO much, but we should only use 2 contour techniques depending on if we want to be masculine or feminine? Nope. Awesome video per usual Robert!

I really wish ppl would stop messing with their lips so haphazardly. I had an inflamed tissue growth in my lower lip as a 12 year old from something as simple as playing clarinet in school band. It impacted my self-esteem extremely negatively. My only option was to get it surgically removed, which I did, but it was a very negative experience in my youth and wouldn't wish the experience on anyone else.

I love how annoyed you look watching these! 😂😂😂

AHH IM EARLY, Robert I only discovered you yesterday but i've watched over 15-20 videos already on your channel! honestly u make me more optimistic abt makeup cause u tell us whats realistically achivable separated from social media

Ugh it's scary to think of teens actually copying any of the bad ones...😐

I adore this! I use makeup as self-care and something for me to play with. My 10yo daughter and I will do our makeup together for fun.

Robert, can you PLEASE do more makeup based book recommendations? 💖

This is *exactly* what we all need on a Sunday evening. ✨️ *Thank you King of making Sunday's better* ✨️

I love watching your commentary on brands and use and everything. I would LOVE your opinion on Clinique. I've used it for years, and it seems to still be the best for my skin as I navigate my 40s. But I would really like to see what you think about clinique foundations mostly. I've migrated toward Lancome mascara now, as it's gentler on my eyes, so I'm rethinking everything, but don't want to waste money trying things out. ❤❤

The process of makeup and skincare is almost meditation for me. Makeup itself? I consider it adornment amd expression. If i can customize a character in a game, why not "customize" myself? It's like a more temporary version of my tattoos and piercings.

The lady talking about makeup and your views on it too Robert are so true! For me, I wear makeup to FEEL better, "looking better" is just an added bonus, just like having a shower! 😂 we do it to smell better but it has the bonus of making us feel, or look, better also!

I had no idea how to color correct and conceal my dark undereye circles until I watched a couple of your videos. Thank you Robert 🥰

came for the makeup hacks and stayed for robert's subtle micro shade ;)

As someone who wear’s make up everyday whether I leave the house to be creative with my look thank you for appreciating me. It has nothing to do with vanity and everything to do with my creativity and I’ve still been called a narcissist. I am not physically well and make up makes me happy. If I can at least look a little bit pretty then that’s something. Then I usually try to create something else pretty too. So thank you. It’s nice to know someone else understands.

Yyyiiikkeesss!!! The rubber band lips.. I could hardly watch. That looked so uncomfortable.

Love this Smokey eye look though ❤

I completely get what you are saying with my filler and botox, it changes everything

1:10 I believe there is science to contouring but not this kind of science lol

It's Always a good day when Robert uploads another vídeo. He makes me laugh so much. 💜😂 and i appreciate his opinions a lot! I really learn so much with this Channel.

Makeup looks lovely Robert 😊 the science one just confused me 😂 haha! I have no clue with contour and just go under my cheeks and jaw but since watching a video you reviewed I no longer put it at my temples as they’re already sunken so I now highlight that bit instead! I also didn’t get the weird lipstick one what the hell was that 😅 ❤

Love the passion! I wear makeup because I enjoy the process and it boosts my confidence ❤

Your rant though!!! Makeup is my personal time for me and I enjoy every moment. It’s the only time I get to care for myself. AMEN!!!

Hello Robert.. just wanted to say congrats on 1M!!!! Love your channel!!

What on earth was that lipstick rubber band woman doing?

I will seriously wake up super early before work, not just to have my water, oatmeal, and coffee but to take the time and do my make-up. I always feel better afterwards. It relaxes me and it makes me feel good about myself.

I personally love men who wear makeup and do their nails 💅💜 Loving the background!

Maybe the girl with the bands on her lips was trying to plump them but really the “trend” seems to be making a mess of the lip area.

Love these where Robert reacts so beautifully to all the crazy out there! 🖤

loved this video as alwaysss, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!

Thank you! I always appreciate your take on these.

this one was my favorite of the whole series, so wonderful 😍

Yey an upload from Robert my Sunday is complete ❤stacey

With regards to the bronzer color corrector, eczema typically comes with very dry skin, so excess oils would not really be an issue. (Source: I have eczema. 🙂)

Always love these kinda videos 😂 looking gorgeous Robert hope you're well!💜🖤💜🖤

i love these types of videos so much. one of my favorites from you!

LOVED the woman who schooled that person who posted that comment about women and makeup!! Why is it threatening to ANYONE if someone wears makeup. How does that threaten a NORMAL PERSON?! Oh wiat, it DOESN'T threaten a normal well adjusted person

1 million subs! Congratulations Robert ❤️

Hey Robert! That eye look is gorgeous! Hope you're having a good weekend!

Surely the lipstick one was for laughs? Surely 😂😂

I absolutely love your eye look in this. Perfection
