omg hi Robert! I’m the girl who did the contour for round face video! glad you liked the technique :) huge fan of yours!! ♥️⭐️

[@pnutty5139]

You're gorgeous and you explained the technique in a way that was easy to follow! I wish all makeup videos on tiktok were like yours! ❤

[@elizabethtangora4353]

You did such a great job explaining it, it was really clear and concise 👍

Mama you explained that so well!! And you are freakin adorable too, that skin!!!! 🤩🤩

[@JT105]

1st of all you are GORGEOUS. 2nd of all THANK YOU for sharing this technique. None of the blush/contour/bronzer placements have ever really felt *right* on my face. I've just tried the vertical blending and my life is changed.

The lip one made me nauseous. I feel so bad for people who feel like they need to do that to themselves.

[@peakdelvalle197]

Do you know what they actually did? It's not mentioned and I feel like it's a good idea to use the platform to warn people away from it

[@reikun86]

@peakdelvalle197 Ooh. I just re-watched it slowed down. She used some sort of band to constrict the top part of her lip.

[@nimeryaspawnbrd1049]

The worst part is that is filmed kinda like a tutorial... On what? how to get necrosis? I understand why is controversial, but now that tiktok makes this kind of shit so ubiquitous, imho we really need content control.

[@BurlapRat]

​@@peakdelvalle197they used a rubberband tied around a portion of their upper lip to simulate a plumped lip. It's extremely dangerous and doesn't look good and doesn't last long.

When I realized what she did it literally made me retch. Wish I could unsee that

[@indominuswrex9465]

As a round face girlie, I saw those vertical contour/blush videos and liked them, but wondered what someone like Robert would have to say. Now that it's been peer reviewed and approved by my favorite beauty KZbinr, I'll switch up my routine with confidence!

[@DrStelG]

HA! "peer reviewed" - this made me do a big honking laugh! Thank you for the monday morning cheer!

It’s so awful! And painful looking!

Her eyes are pretty scary, too

[@Ozraevun]

There is a MASSIVE difference to PLUMPING your lips and BRUISING them >.> Dear people, don't HURT yourselves in the persuit of beauty! You can achieve so much with simple colour theory and placements of shadows vs light.... Also: if you are born with thinner lips, embrace that, thin lips are just as pretty as plump lips imo. There is more to beauty than what the TRENDS tells you.

[@YarX0]

💯I've recently started using pencils to contour my lips due to some volume loss (comes naturally with age) and the different is very subtle, very believable and very there 😉Beauty should not be painful or harmful.

[@laur83]

please never stop making educational content. i get to test my knowledge and i learn something new from you all the time! ❤

[@RobertWelsh]

Thank you! I won’t ! 🖤🖤🖤

[@CynBo94]

Oh Robert, that lip thing (I don't know what else to call it) made me feel woozy. I'm glad you're unafraid to be the voice of reason when you see people passing on dangerous techniques and so-called hacks.

[@manaash4316]

I thought it was something she'd attached to her face? 😭

[@theeellebee]

The second girl was spot-on with the brown eyeshadow. I recently went on vacation and forgot my bronzer. A shade in the ELF bite size palette cream and sugar worked perfectly 🥰

[@archers.arrows]

But my next viral hack was going to be lip plumping with crack.

[@RobertWelsh]

😂😂😂😂

[@ZijnShayatanica]

"The stimulant properties of the crack increase circulation to the lips & create a rosy, plump appearance" 😂🤣 ALLEGEDLY. FOR LEGAL REASONS.

[@GenXfrom75]

Changing my blush placement was a game changer for my makeup and confidence! I quit the apple of the cheek use and now do the vertical application from cheekbone to temple. My face looks longer and it's just beautiful ❤️

[@randl7423]

The fact that Robert did not go, "No, *you're* using your beauty tool wrong!" before flipping the handle bit around at the end shows what a gentleman he is. I probably would have, haha 😅

[@mzmerryweather]

This video was so informative- the second girl was spot on for us round faced girls. Thank you Robert, you're a gem!

[@SheilaR.08]

I'm so impressed by how much advanced makeup knowledge younger generations have now, but I'm not gonna lie - it was pretty nice not to have to use geometry before work/school. The parallelogram video gave me anxiety. 😂😂😂

[@cattc6946]

I’ve downloaded it twice and ended up deleting it shortly after lol

[@DinkyInky2]

My tablets can't use it because it's not approved safe by their content store, my PC has it blocked because Linux is cool at coding like that, and my phone while technically a smartphone, can't use apps like that, so I can literally tell folks I can't view content from TikTok, do they have it on YT?

[@allilee2523]

The powder puff tip you showed us right at the end where u flipped the strap over was honestly far more revolutionary and helpful than any of the other videos. Also that last guy was so clearly an AD 😂😂😂 the way he tried to say it’s a struggle switching from a liquid tool to a powder one 😂😂😂

[@toothfairy430]

8:45 starving the tissue of oxygen and creating a toxic environment for the cells. 😉 Thank you for using your platform to slap some reality into the youth. We all did dumb stuff like this as a kid but not because the internet told us to. Kids these days have so much access to information but don't have the sense to distinguish good information from doodoo caca info. You're helping provide kids tools to navigate the surplus of terrible advice that some of these videos promote.

[@janna8147]

Love this. Are we moving back into a "contour the heck out of your face" era again? I sort of feel like we relaxed on that a bit for the last few years, I really hope we don't go all in on that again, mostly because I'm crap at it.

[@reikun86]

Yeah. I was digging the fresh-faced look.

[@Griselda_Puppy]

I was crap at it too, til I discovered contouring powders & using the correct shaped brushes. Made it so much easier for me when I actually feel like contouring, so I thought it may help you as well 😊

[@DinkyInky2]

I have cool Olive skin, and most contours that look cool to the eye aren't cool enough, and bronzers with any warmth don't work, so they turn Orange or ruddy on me. I use Blushers and highlighters if I feel like adding some extra depth, and they work better for me.

[@elizabethtangora4353]

I think this kind of makeup is always going to have a place online, because it looks really impressive on camera. They just don’t show you the part where it’s incredibly difficult to pull off in real life.

[@janna8147]

Thank you, I'll keep your tips in mind while I learn!

[@mackennaomara4868]

I’d love to watch a video of you doing contour/makeup on different face shapes. I love your channel and have a VERY round face. I would adore seeing a couple of different people having their makeup done by you.

[@jujubee463]

I thought she used a small rubber band. Horrific.

[@miamcdonogh2097]

I feel like they eyebrow thing about using a shade lighter is definitely something to keep in mind, but it doesn't work for everyone. my eyebrows are super light naturally, but I dye my hair dark. I think you need to look at the person as a whole when it comes to things like brows. I tend to go a little darker than my natural brow hair, but not as dark as my hair colour because I feel like the change would be too drastic

[@ZijnShayatanica]

Same! My brows are naturally medium blonde, but I dye my hair dark purple & my roots are medium brown when they DO show. I dye them a dark ashy brown & use a dark brown brow gel. It's not as dark, but... At least it doesn't look like I sharpied them in! And w/o a darker pigment, it looks one degree of separation from not having brows at all. Which is a good look for SOME PEOPLE... But not me.

[@heatherhernandez4304]

I don’t think I could even find a brow product lighter than my natural brows.

[@miamcdonogh2097]

Yeah, my brows are a dirty blonde at the best of times but during summer look pretty much non existent XD.

[@miamcdonogh2097]

@@ZijnShayatanica I die my hair black, so I could get away with black brows, but i always feel like they look so weird...like a stamp or filled in with sharpie. My brows are naturally dark blonde and then they go super light during summer. Whenever I have them waxed or threaded, the beautician always wants to die them, but they always go too dark, so I gave up on that and now I just fill them in with a darker cool toned brown

[@jojomarch]

I'm so confused and grossed out by that lip thing, I don't really understand what they did! Who's gonna tell Theresa is Dead that highlighter should disappear when you turn your head? Not me!

[@ZijnShayatanica]

Let our Garbage Queen live her alien slut dreams. 😂🤣 I mean, I thiiiiink the video meant that there should not be a pigmented stripe or cast, rather than not having a shine? But I could be wrong.
