GRWM: FULL FACE OF HAUS LABS | BENCHMARK BRANDS & OVER CONSUMPTION |

[@sineadcowins4501]

You have helped me so much! I have ADHD and am an impulse makeup shopper. I am overwhelmed by the amount of makeup I have. However, I realize that I actually do have benchmark brands and have been leaning much more heavily on them. I go to urban decay for my foundation and setting powder, I don’t need another. It’s perfect. Mac and Melt and MOB for shadows and lippies. Mac and Silk Naturals for Blushes. I don’t really see myself needing to try anything else. And I feel more excited about makeup now than ever. Thank you Ms. Megan.

I 100% agree with this. I'm done with buying from a zillion different brands. I know what I like and I now like to repurchase my fave items once I use it all up. The endless search for new and better just results in disappointment much of the time and wastes money.

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

yep, the thrill is in the search and gratification of buying something

[@avanellespringer2093]

I am a child of MAC!!! It was a gift and I hv never looked back. I love your videos!!!!

[@redfire3692]

this is sooooo real. i've used the same loose powder since 8th grade but besides it i've been loyal to two brands which resonated most with my style and i gained mastery of how their formulas work for any look i'll ever want

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

LOVEEEE THIS

[@seanm777]

As someone who needs my matte velvet skin and warm tones, I still learn so much from you! I ditched the beauty blender, worked my base in layers with under painting, ect. and my skin was on LOCK all night. Thanks Miss Megan ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

loveeeee

[@debbieshiroda2419]

Oh man I LOVED this video! Girl was looking good and she knew it!!! You are so intelligent and give your audience such good things to think about. My favorite content is watching get ready with me I could watch it for hours everyday (as a kid I’d sit in the bathroom while my mom put on her makeup to go to work at the salon where she was a hairdresser). Thank you for these videos.

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

What a cute story, I love this sm

[@notmyname2487]

My bench mark brands are MAC and Guerlain. But i have benchmark products at NARS, Makeup by Mario, Melt & maybe Merit.

[@panfilolivia]

Your videos are so good, im so thankful there’s people like you sharing their knowledge here❤❤ I really hope the mainstream make up landscape changes from overconsumerism to something more concerned with experimentation and artistry

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

🩶🩶🩶

[@SweetCheerleader42]

I absolutely LOVE your take on makeup, artistry and consumerism. Especially working in the industry. Your verbiage is so palatable and easy to disgust. I appreciate you!

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

love this take, tysm :)

[@royaladvisorypublishing]

You speak the makeup language I speak. Your commentary is SO enjoyable!! My benchmark brands are MAC, Make Up For Ever, Ben Nye and maybe NARS. #LONGLIVEFULLGLAM

[@veronicaixta6597]

Gorgeous!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@sashton67]

I love that foundation, it’s become one of my holy grails. I used to and still am a matte girly but this changed my life. I can’t explain how much I love this foundation. In my opinion it’s a more updated and advanced version of luminous silk.

[@Karolinaanna80]

I definitely want to stick to that mindset. I love Mac and Inglot, and between those two brands I can get majority I need for my makeup kit, plus IT cosmetics foundation for my rosacea skin❤

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Yesss I love that

[@chocolatebunny98]

For a second I forgot this was a Haus labs video and I was like NO GLOBAL GLOW?! SWEET KISS FROM A MAN?!?!

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

I literally have laughed about this for 2 days xx

[@CorrieB-u7r]

I remember you talking about benchmark brands a few weeks ago on Instagram and it totally stuck with me. I'd say my benchmark brands are NARS, MAC and, for cheaper stuff, ELF. I have bits and bobs from other brands that I love but those are my main ones. Foundation, concealer, bronzer and some blush is all NARS - it wasn't on purpose, it just ended up that way, but it makes sense because I've also heard you talk about complexion products being most harmonious with others from the same brand.

[@CorrieB-u7r]

Wanted to add one other thing - a nice benefit of benchmark brands is that you're less likely to end up with two products that are too similar to each other, like blushes or lipsticks

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Yeahhh I will die on the hill that primers/complexion need to be within the same brand

[@ladykadiijha]

Thank you! ❤🎉🎉

[@S_patricia]

Every time I’m tempted to buy more products I don’t need, I think of you and remind myself to use what I have 🖤

[@Tomadeupjazz]

I’m guilty of having a TON of makeup. BUT I do pride myself on using things up and I finish a lot of makeup every year so it helps me keep some balance. I have a makeup bag with my everyday work full face, and then a bag for my weekend glam face, and I mostly use the same base/complexion products, and maybe switch cheek/colored products but that system works for sure 👍🏾

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

I LOVE finishing makeup, I think I have like 8 new empties from the last couple weeks

[@galecrafts]

Great lip combo toots, I too love the Haus Labs foundation - magical! Hugs, Gale The Happy Stamper :)

[@victoriaroffey6372]

You’re so beautiful. Haus Labs concealer and foundation is the best. Love your videos they’re so informative. Thank you 😊

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

[@orangemascara]

[@Kristyn.roberts13]

Love me some Haus Labs... one of my top favorite foundations! 💜

[@howcouture]

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

thanks!!

[@ivanakoledin]

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

hahah I don't have time right now as I'm working on a different project on top of working full time. One day hopefully.

[@notmyname2487]

I knewwwwwwww you’d love that kiko gloss 🥰🥰🥰

[@Sheleesi]

Recently found you after searching to understand MACs shade- your explanation was well done! Truly. Also sitting here and was thinking since you self tan you would be more NC42 and then you dispelling it immejiately 🥴 lol

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ooshy]

Any suggestions on how to lighten lipsticks? I'm considering Oyster Girl but would love a lipstick option. I missed out on Bubbles though. 😔

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

there's no specific answer - because what lightens a lipstick for me is going to be different to someone else.You have to consider formula, the depth of the lipstick its going on, how many things you're layering and how much colour you're wanting to lift and its undertone.

[@hauterodanthe680]

Plz would you do a Mac collection video & a full makeup collection video?

[@donnafurey8114]

Amazing look!

[@pensivepink]

but where did you get your shirt? :)

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

I don't remember what's in this video - what was I wearing?

[@pensivepink]

It’s a “that’s stupid” shirt. Old English font… que cute!!

[@Mimzislikewhoa]

Well now I need to do some shopping

[@anjd4537]

BC of your contentn I've been really thinking & digging into my BBs. Is it possible to have BBs all while having Benchmark Textures that could be from a multitude of Brands, ones that's are your non-negotiables? As always, thx for the help.

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Uhhh kind of yes but kind of no, because I'm sure you can manipulate what you have to creature similar / new textures. It's different if something came out that's SOOOO different that wasn't in a benchmark brand for you. Benchmarks are your reference and starting points

[@theecoedit]

Once you know you like and what works for you, as long as this isn’t your JOB to review new stuff it’s fine to just use the same stuff. The consistency is what some people like. The average makeup consumer is using the same stuff anyway. My collection is moving in that direction anyways

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Peoples who jobs it is to review stuff have lost the plot and it's at the expense of the viewer. It's quantity over quality. Over consumption is entirely out of hand and no longer is the average consumer using the same stuff. They're sitting on hoards and hoards of makeup. I've spent many many many many hours talking to people online and IRL about their collections. People have also forgotten that the makeup industry has been around for DECADES and the over consumption with our remorce began in 2016 with virality. It's not normal.

[@theecoedit]

@ what a refreshing take on that! I really appreciate your viewpoint!

[@judiness101]

I cannot believe I missed this video. I definitely want to consume less and I’ve definitely bought from brands that weren’t me in the past just to try something new. Honestly if I could keep only one brand it would be Mac because they have good items in each category. But I really like Nars and makeup by Mario.

[@gothqueen2176]

what brushes do you use, especially the eye brushes ?

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

I have a couple brush videos on here

[@Glossyvirgo]

Full face of Melt and then another of Mob?!

[@kinagal405]

This makes me realize my benchmark brands are gunna always be danessa myricks, Pat McGrath, haus labs, rare beauty, and mac. All the products I gravitate towards are from those 5 brands at all time. I’ll always use at least 3 of those 5 at all times for all my makeup

[@missmeganrobinsonn]

Yes!!

[@freshfreshfreshfresh]

Nono influencers are really easy to buy. merit does this a lot too

[@seanm777]

Stop that note you got was so sweet I wanted to cry 😭 best of luck to that kind soul I don’t know you but you are amazing
