Are We Still Doing This In 2024? | Pro MUA reacts to Makeup hacks

[@RobertWelsh]

People seem to be upset that I have offended their imaginary boyfriend doing their makeup on the train platform - here is my point again- normalising makeup on men …. Whoever you are, this guy or not … even if it was me who did it … doesn’t involve setting up your phone with a light in a public space and applying it. It might look normal when we watch it but not when you’re out and about seeing it. In fact… I wouldn’t consider that normal if anyone did it. It’s The weird tiktok world we live in and no …. It’s not normalising anything. This is why successful pages like “influencers in the wild” exists with millions of followers… because seing someone do somthing like this in a public space …is not normal and people like to tease the people that do it, wether thats right or wrong in your opinion, its the world we live in.👍🏼

[@dixierae6063]

Beautifully said Robert. It truly is an unusual world we leave in. I'm from the generation where a lady went to the "ladies room" to powder her nose and reapply our lipstick. Etiquette was such an identifier of class and self respect. Now it is excuse me I'm about to do whatever I bloody please :-)

[@nany____]

I've said this multiple times before, i'm also autistic and i also love reading labels and formulations, that said, i don't really like most Nina's content at all, she often ignores that formulations have the same ingredients but different concentrations or molecule forms (usually patented) that makes A LOT of difference in the final product and having the same ingredients doesn't make it an actual dupe, it's the same thing as saying that shortbread cookies are a dupe for a birthday cake since they have the exact same ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder and vanilla)

Setting lip AND eyeliner were new ones for me, tbh

[@smitty5641]

Nope I've been doing that for years!

[@shendisackett]

​@@j.lingle4713 setting eyeliner is quite common with liquid liner, you can get pencil gel eyeliners that set themselves. It can also help if your liquid liner is more shiny black instead of matte black, take a black shadow on an eyeliner brush and press on top and now it's matte. Like Robert said lip liner shouldn't need setting! The whole point of it is that it doesn't wear off like lipstick.

I feel like if you have to “set” it, it’s either not a good product or your application needs work.

The way Mikayla yells at us is just incredible.

[@NiteMareBliss]

I hate the whole trend that seems to have started on TikTok of influencers yelling about everything. It's the single best way for me to never listen to a word they say. If you need to scream at your audience about products, it's off-putting and makes me wonder why a product isn't good enough to stand on its own merit without needing yelling to sell us on it. Being yelled at is an instant "no"

[@ulrikesextro4187]

It hurts my ears.

[@queenofwales_]

@@NiteMareBliss I think that manner has deepwr roots than that. Jaclyn Hill to me is, like… could watch couple of her vids, when saw James Charles’ videos, had the same feeling. EVERYTHING is soooooo exciting and good. TikTok probably has enhanced it. But I also feel drawn more to people who talks normally. Like Robert does, it’s very pleasant to listen in, when it’s his video on. I also like Angeschka, who also very OFTEN reminds her viewers that nobody needs 12 lipstick set or a 6 blush set, and you don’t have to run, you can walk cuz tomerrow there will new viral foundation on TikTok. 🤡 God, bless creators like these!

I love "blonzer", but it's really just using a bronzy blush all over (nice for those of us used to "draping" anyway).

Love that you mentioned the silicone thing with layering foundation productions or primers and powders. Way before I got into history bounding, I used to layer a tonne of different under foundation products, and then layer concealer, foundation, and powder on top of those, and then sit back and wonder why my makeup looked like shit when half the products I'd just used were silicone based.

[@jasmine.lavender]

What’s history bounding? Is it like Disney bounding or am I way off?

[@claireeyles7560]

@@jasmine.lavender It was inspired by Disney Bounding. It's taking mostly modern clothing and wearing it in a vintage way. So, for example, I history bound mostly in the 1910s and 1920's. I have a basic capsule wardrobe of modern dresses, skirts and tops that have similar shapes and styles to the 1910s and 1920s, and then I accessorise with different hats, jewellery, and makeup styles to bring the look together. If I want to I can still wear all of my clothes in a modern style as well. Some people who history bound try to go more for historical accuracy, some will mix and match different decades, some will just wear one or two genuinely vintage pieces. It's a wide open playbox of fun and creativity. :)

[@jasmine.lavender]

@ That sounds amazing! Was it difficult finding clothing that resembled the 1910s and 20s?

[@claireeyles7560]

@@jasmine.lavender I guess it depends on how historically accurate you're trying to be. I decided to go with the basic sillouhuettes of the era and then use accessories to make it more vintage. One of my most basic outfits is simply a calf length A line skirt and a tunic t-shirt from Kmart. Add some vintage looking jewellery, a cloche hat, and makeup designed to evoke the era, and you've got a history bounded 1920s look. For a later 1910s look, that I can also do as an early 20's look, I have a basic white broderie peasant blouse and another A line skit. Depending on what jewellery or hat style I accessorise it with it can be circa 1918 or circa 1921. This woman history bounds more in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, but she has an excellent short video showing the difference between wearing a more modern style dress, and styling that same dress so it looks Edwardian. kzbin.info8QBHVeB0RJc?si=ZXDly0jfv5DM0Sbc

@ That’s so cool! And how handy that you can use items from places like Kmart and turn them into something vintage-esque. That account is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Her Christmas video is gorgeous. That tree! 😍 My two favourite eras are quite modern, so it’s easy for me to dress in those styles. I like the 70s and the 90s. I was a teenager in the 90s (graduated high school in 2000), and 70s fashion had a revival in the late 90s.

[@215juliusgirl]

My issue is every curler I buy seems to be made for someone whose eyes are as long horizontally as my head. I actually got this awful mascara in a boxycharm years ago that came with a mini lash curler on one side. So I just rinsed the mascara side out and asked my superhandy roommate to macguyver something for the curler (which has no pads but is silicone or rubber but sturdy) and even though it takes three top to bottoms to do each lash, i love it and that it sits in my socket. My point, i totally lost, which was that i had really stubby lashes before i found this thing, had no idea it wad from curling them but now I actually have lashes so long that if I don’t curl them, I get mascara right under my brows 😮

[@MisadventureMisty]

@@215juliusgirlI have a similar issue. I will ALWAYS have a few lashes that stay straight because no matter what angle I put the lash curler at, it can’t reach those areas.

​@@MisadventureMistySame!! I have large round/almond shaped eyes with reasonably long lashes, but the last ¼ on the outside are poker straight whilst the rest are generally well behaved & are quite curled already. Trying to get those outside lashes into a lash curler (& believe me, I've tried so many different kinds over the years), is such a struggle 😣 I've tried those mini lash curlers allegedly used for this purpose & whilst they do allow me to curl my outside lashes, they also then create a separation cos it then squishes the naturally well behaved ones next to them. I just need a lash curler that's about 1" wider i think .... why is it this hard to get a lash curler that just fits ALL my lashes?! 😭

@ that weird lash clumping that happens when I try to get the outer most lashes are the worst. It makes it look like I have bald patches in my lashes. And mascara looks ridiculous when I have only a few lashes on each eye point straight outward.

I can’t help it; I blink when I’m nervous and that’s always when the eyelash is right next to my real lashes! And if I manage to get them on, I have to take them off pretty quickly upon leaving the house either because one or both are so uncomfortable (I do have blepharitis and I hope that’s not the reason because I’d hate to stop wearing them) or one falls off.

I'm 48 female. I don't put bronzer or contour on my temples bc it. " hollows" my face out. Which naturally happens when we age and makes us look older . You highlight this area to bring it forward. Also veins start showing in this area when we age so extra foundation or concealer may be needed.

[@215juliusgirl]

I can’t imagine that one thing bennett does: putting powder on my tight line (or its mirror image). To me it says “we are using 10 pairs of contacts today” and “we will soon have painful floating brown splotches in our eyes due to the watering that will occur from putting shadow on my tightline.” PS - you can stop your body from sweating. Of course you can’t do it head to toe or you would die but botox. Botox nixes sweat. I know because my friend was a bit sweater and got Botox under her pits. It was the first time in years she would not have to put saran wrap around them at night. And I can’t believe Makayla FAKES that accent. Why would you fake nails on a chalkboard?

[@ReinaV-cu2se]

I know this has nothing to do with the video, but thanks a bunch for telling us to watch out for tv shows or movies with the actors wearing yellow patches of concealer! Now, I can’t stop seeing it everywhere! 😂

[@beccasale7631]

You’re my favourite make up creator by far, you’re so balanced with facts and opinions ❤

[@Bunnyrabbit-e7u]

15:08 no matter what comes from her mouth, I will forever not trust what she is saying as she has lied countless times and all her posts are just ads…

[@NiteMareBliss]

🙌🏻💯 and that's what happens when an influencer betrays public trust as she has.

[@tallhotsexy]

I wouldn’t trust her at all for product reviews, but if it’s a routine video then I’ll at least try it out since it seems she also has oily skin. Worst thing that can happen is it doesn’t work for me and I have to keep searching for something that works lol

[@blue_lynch]

14:10 thinking all ingredients are the same is like thinking coal and diamond are the same just because the two have carbon

[@sandragrumet]

I spray my beauty blender with Mac Fix+ to apply/blend foundation and/or concealer. It’s perfect for me for that purpose, blending easily and stays put without breaking down.

[@stephaniegrehan9084]

Comment for the algorithm! love these reaction videos because they're so edumacational

[@THEMamaVicky]

Reminds me of the AbFab episode where Patsy's sister shield her face and asks if she's stumbled into a bad lighting situation 😂

[@saracrawford9908]

Best show ever sweetie darling

[@katfayegarrett3872]

❤❤❤

[@dinasilva9263]

Watching a video from Robert always makes my day better❤❤

[@connectwithyourdeck]

Robert ‘oh well it’s their face’ I love it!!

[@amberhowell5616]

Best part of a Monday is watching you 😊 inspiration Monday 😊

[@user-rq6tw4zp4w]

The state of Bennet's brushes....

[@TolaTolaTola]

I love how you've never changed

[@sakara75]

Tiktok is SO bad that 90% of the time you look at a vid and wonder is this a piss take? Are they actually being serious about these stupid hacks or are they doing them just to get reactions calling them out.

[@TheTamago]

Deleting this app was my 2024 best idea

[@Greeeenmoss]

Lolll right its like they are auditioning for 5 minutes craft 😂

[@madsquishy3410]

Dang I'm never this early lol. Let's go!!!! Love your videos Robert! And may I say that that cool toned silver eyeshadow on you is really making your brown eyes POP!!!

[@Levynite]

Legit, the curling your mascara'ed eyelashes will break them, it happened to an old coworker and she. just. froze. in horror. And I heard the quiet snap from one sink over.

[@IssnaFazel]

Robert!! Could you do a step by step tutorial of how YOU do your makeup and what techniques you use to get a flawless base and long lasting makeup??

[@hannahbanana6261]

Omg. I had to rewatch that last video 3 times before I zoomed in to see what you were talking about, I just thought her lip was like that naturally 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Jennilynne]

I didn't expect her to end the video with the lip like that 😭 just why

[@laiatezenas3300]

Meanwhile, I thought the poor girl had a tumour 😭

[@AldiSox]

Full thanks to the Welsh Twins for my learning about using setting sprays before makeup. Thank you Robert!!!

[@Sherralyn]

I NEED a tutorial on the eyeshadow look!! Love it❤❤❤ I absolutely can't stand when someone doesn't pull their hair back when doing a tutorial. It's just a pet peeve of mine.

[@bizbat]

If anyone who is rightfully suspicious of "influencers" has doubt about Robert's advice or opinions, I want you to know that I watched one of his sponsored videos and bought the product. I never buy anything recommended by "influencers", and I was super suspicious of the brand considering it's koren and I am not. But I tried it and words cannot describe how beautiful it is. I likely would have never tried it had I not seen Robert make a video about it.😁

[@a.r.glad.5490]

Even before you said it I was thinking "oh, oh, we know how Robert feels about concealer on the eye lid!!" 😂😂

[@elizabethmontijo3239]

I just had to stop by and comment on your silver eye look. Your dark brown eyes truly smolder in contrast with the silver and pewter shadows you used in this video. I really love the effect. You always give wonderful tips and I'm sure you hear that all the time. I was truly compelled to come by and comment on this astonishingly striking look on you.

[@heatherduke7703]

Makeup looking good from head on and not from the side is a big issue with winged liner. It looks really funny to see a stark black line on the face from the side or 3/4 behind since it’s no longer creating the illusion of lashes

[@wooogie672]

robert should start putting some the the products he’s wearing in the description because this gray eyeshadow look is killer 😭

[@wisneta]

I used to always use primer. Now I only use it for all day makeup. And always remember to remove makeup AND cleanse. I will always use a toner or an exfoliator after cleansing on full makeup days.

[@215juliusgirl]

I can’t imagine ever doing that one thing bennett does: putting powder on my tight line (or its mirror image). To me it says “we are using 10 pairs of contacts today” and “we will soon have painful floating brown splotches in our eyes due to the watering that will occur from putting shadow on my tightline.” PS - you can stop your body from sweating. Of course you can’t do it head to toe or you would die but botox. Botox nixes sweat. I know because my friend was a bit sweater and got Botox under her pits. It was the first time in years she would not have to put saran wrap around them at night.

[@jynxwyckyd7745]

"I gently blend it out" as hes JAMMING the brush against his skin so hard i feel like it has to be painful!!

[@feelthejoy]

Wait did she really say that another creator’s “special talent” is reading ingredients in skincare? How is that a special talent?

[@Ava-wm6cv]

Yes and seemed to imply it was because the other person is autistic.

[@gamingmama360]

Maybe she meant special interest?

[@feelthejoy]

@@gamingmama360 I hope so. The way she said it was still weirdly ignorant though.

[@gamingmama360]

@@feelthejoy Yeah it did sound weird.

[@ellenwood719]

Thank you so much. I learn something from you every time! And you are hilarious without being mean.

[@LuonnonkosmetiikkaWithDeli]

Buffed, pressed into the skin. GOT IT 👌

[@tiffanysdream030]

Thanks!

[@cecetrinh4825]

You’re so right about that nasty looking fan brush or should I say brushes. I love your brutally honest personality and I’m a big fan. ❤

[@AmiMelaine]

10:44 Time to spread the gospel of Make Up Forever pencils!

[@SharonRaeRyan]

That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@Persefone94]

Yeah, thosebhuge aloe vera cans are usually good. With the large Holika Holika aloe you get abgrat, great face gel for sooo much cheapernthan buying any face gel!

[@MissLizzy882]

for me, my best primer is my sunscreen, but I've never tried a setting spray before foundation - definitely going to try this!!

[@jennyleverington7680]

At 62 ive seen many ways to apply make up and i also worked for a make up company in store when younger and what ive found is what ever make you feel good and look good then do it for your own comfort .

[@deviousdramaqueen]

Good lord, Robert. Your makeup! 🤩🫶

[@thesecondkate]

Didn’t expect Mikayla in this video 😂

[@BexREB]

This is probably a daft question but i can't figure out how to phrase it to find anything in a search engine. -Where does the idea of setting foundation come from? I understand they all need to dry down to an extent but from the videos of yours ive seen it doesnt seem a necessary step to actually put powder on top to keep it on your face. Was there a type of foundation in makeup history that 100% had to be set or it just wasnt going to work? Was it a marketing idea for a way to sell powder as well as liquid to the same customers? Or is it actually necessary and anyone who doesnt gets a subpar result? -From a baffled person still trying to learn to do makeup properly for the first time in her 30s Thanks as always :)

[@Metzli]

This is an excellent question, I wanna know the answer too. My little experience with foundations shows that some foundations seem to react well to powder being placed on top and others seem to dry and crack and patch. The rare beauty foundation, for example, on me it looks nice before powder but it gets weird after applying powder.. I wonder if certain types of powders work best with less matte foundations? Idk :s

[@BexREB]

@Metzli I'm hoping there's a way to figure out which ones might need it or which situations it needs to be done for etc. Fingers crossed we get an answer haha

[@stellacalder5023]

I know I'm the wrong person to ask and I don't have many details, but I can at least point you in the right direction: stage makeup for black and white film in the early 1900s really did have to be set with powder, but it was a very different formula to what's available now and was partially used to color-correct because of how colors appeared different in-person vs on film with stage lighting.

[@BexREB]

@stellacalder5023 Thank you for a starting point :)!

[@merp951]

See also, the stage makeup techniques used by drag performers. I remember hearing something about how they needed powder to set their makeup and make their contours extra dramatic.

[@marycanary86]

something about "unless you constipate yourself" while dapping on makeup was just so cvnty LOL loved that

[@muggle804]

Robert keeping it real as usual. ❤ That’s why he’s the only MUA I need.

[@Moriri_By_TshepiB]

I use aloe vera gel as a primer too

[@ladyjaneoftheearlgreyteatribe]

Love this eye look on you. Makes your eyes look so pretty

[@lasskaynass]

Honestly videos like this reacting to Bennet is so helpful
