What is going on with TikTok Beauty Influencers? | PRO MUA REACTS

[@shyras_]

For Indian weddings, MUA is often thousands because they don’t just do makeup… they basically are in charge of making every detail of the brides makeup, outfit, pinning the dupatta, doing the draping, literally everything, is perfect. It’s crazy how much they charge, but they know they have a niche.

[@whatever3145]

Yeah but he isn't talking about them. They do full body henna that is wildly intricate and takes hours to do. Of course you'd pay them more. I wish we saw more poor Indian people. Every Indian wedding I see is for rich people. Id love to see how poor people get it done bc im sure alot of diy is involved

[@han8285]

I follow an Indian bridal makeup artist and she often does makeup (and all the other things you mentioned) for longer celebrations over the course of a few days, rather than just one day. So she's usually doing 3 completely different makeup and hair styles, plus staying at a hotel near the wedding.

[@alienated1847]

Same here in Singapore! They are called Mak Andams

[@omgitsreyz]

Most of the Indian MUA’s I know do makeup, outfit, jewelry arrangements and hair.

[@sophroniel]

that totally makes sense. But unless it was specified I assumed it was some random western artist. Knowing all the incredibly detailed things indian brides need done (like the henna) I can understand it costing into the thousands.... Do these MUAs do the henna as well? I thought it was a specific henna artist but I'm obviously not indian so can only go by my friends and colleagues' experiences.... where I admittedly got really worried about them, using cinnabar on their forheads and gallium and lead in their khol--all are super toxic heavy metals, especially cinnabar which is basically organic mercury that easily dissolves into your skin, and anything on a mucus membrane like the eye is just as good as swallowing! 🥺

[@ericjackman1143]

That guy saying not doing your makeup on your wedding is lazy….next time you have a car issue do you fix it yourself? Professionals are there when you need a professional job, and I’m going to make sure on my wedding day I immortalize a version of myself I’m proud of.

[@candyc3314]

It's silly. Most people have their makeup done for their wedding because it's less stressful and you can assure that you will look your best/the way you want on your special day. Sometimes you only walk down the aisle once.

[@Jennewstart]

I had my makeup and hair done professionally because I had not used makeup in a long time. I didn’t want to stress out about color matching. The pictures looked great and my MIL loved how it turned out.

[@ckind2098]

yeah i had that thought too. Personally, I did do my own makeup for my wedding but it was super basic and our ceremony was small and chill. If we'd had a bigger wedding with more to do, I can definitely see how hiring someone would help take some stress out of the event.

[@here4thefreefood]

Well said.

[@neuro-mm8in]

Well said

[@glitteringmaze]

$6k for just the makeup is a bit much if it’s just the bride, but that guy pissed me off with the way he started speaking, especially when he said “lazy.” I’m not married, but weddings are stressful! The amount of money for everything, the planning, the seating arrangements, the flowers, etc… Dude needed to keep his mouth shut about calling people lazy for hiring a makeup artist.

[@j.lingle4713]

Additionally if the bride has any physical issues - tremors, vision problems, color blindness, etc.

[@lafleurdhiver]

Yeah, he lost me when he said that. I did my sister's makeup for her wedding (she bought the makeup products), and even though I was honored, it was stressful as hell lmao. I barely had time for my makeup before I had to head down for the ceremony. 😅 My sister had people around her whom she trusted to do her hair and makeup, and we agreed to it since it would help remove costs that could go elsewhere. My sister essentially never wears makeup and would NOT have been able to teach herself to do her makeup to a level that would have looked appropriate for that day. Like yes, people finding these videos are most likely those who consume beauty content, but most people are not intensely involved or interested in makeup, and that's okay! I'd probably advise against $6k unless it was a VERY specific circumstance, but there's a reason people will hire professionals who have experience with weddings, and it's not a failing on the person for determining that they need to hire someone to make their vision come true.

[@whatever3145]

Its the only comfort poor people have man. We make $7/hr and will probably never be able to afford a wedding. I can't ever get married bc im disabled and ill lose my Healthcare if my partner ever gets 2k in their account. People lost disability over covid checks... Let us talk shit. We have nothing. Calling rich people lazy is literally our only comfort. Clearly if we had money we'd do the same thing 🙄 yall are obtuse on sociology and economics

[@whatever3145]

​@@j.lingle4713i have hand disability and guess what? Makes it LESS likely I can pay someone bc I can't work and am fighting for disability for years now.

[@whatever3145]

​@@lafleurdhiverlol no but it's a huge privilege so people who don't have that privilege get to be a bitch. Get over it

[@katcalico9142]

Another benefit of having a makeup artist is that it is one less thing you have to worry about and getting your makeup done gives you a few minutes of peace. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sarahwatson3192]

If I was a bride, I am not doing my own make up on my wedding day, the nerves are high, the stress, the tremors I have… nope I’m not risking it all to save money… i would be so stressed about it not looking perfect I’m hiring someone to do it, someone who is trained to make it last and make me look perfect.

[@ria0pnk]

I thought the "how lazy are you" was really strange. It really had the mansplaining vibe from someone who doesn't know makeup but also doesn't know anything about how planning a wedding or any big event works. Forget being the bride, im not sure I have time to figure out my makeup situation even as a moh or a relative involved in the planning. It's so much work. And if you're not into glam, just buying all the products you need for long lasting makeup, all at once, will run you a few 100 bucks. Even more so now where even drugstore makeup is more than 10 bucks per item. Then there's carrying everything you might need to the hotel or venue. God forbid the wedding is not in your hometown, then you're gonna have to travel with all that. It's hardly a question as to why you'd rather someone do your makeup and pamper you a bit on the day of.

[@bleuumscarlett7977]

If you want to be dolled up by someone for a special event, it's not lazy or stupid! A professional knows how to do make up for photos or based on the lighting, like your everyday make up might look horrible under some lights 🙈. Sure 6k is not something i would ever pay for make up, but if i was stupid rich, maybe i would 😂

[@Jennilynne]

Yeah, part of the appeal (probably one of the biggest parts, really) of having your makeup done is it just being one less thing for you to have to stress about. Seemed awfully rude of him to just imply that it's pure laziness or that they don't know how to do it themselves/don't want to learn. There's also so many things that you need to take into account for doing your makeup for a wedding too like will it show up well in photos, lighting, will it be an outside wedding or inside, etc.

[@tammystiletto]

Also I really like how the makeup artist can keep the whole party look streamlined across the group. You know?? I could just see one girl with a classic red and everyone else wearing pink but three different shades of pink and one oxidizes to magenta.

[@satutoivonen9679]

I was offended by that lazyness comment. 😃 Sir, I have done my own make up most days for 30+ years. I have made a conscious effort to learn how to do it well (I'm watching Robert aren't I 😆). I've spent more time learning make up skills than you've been alive, boi , you don't get to call me lazy! All this learning has made me decent at make up but I don't want my bridal being done by someone decent. I want it done by someone excellent.

[@brithoman3900]

$6000 is insane but I got a makeup artist because I went and got a trial and it 1. Lasted all night 2. Looked good in photo and person and 3. She did magic on my eyes that I still don’t know how she did haha. She also used airbrush foundation though which she was a magician with. A good MUA is well worth the money! All my bridesmaids also loved her work!

[@kasm_nME]

It truly is priceless to feel beautiful on your wedding day. It doesn't happen all the time. Anyone being nasty to others wanting to pamper themselves needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and get to work on their own crud🙄

[@bribri0786]

I don’t think that guy knows what he’s talking about. Nobody is charging 6K for bridal makeup. He pulled that number out of his butt. And if someone wants to pay for the experience of being pampered on her wedding day, that’s their prerogative. Nothing wrong with it.

[@shadowdancer909]

It could be a multi-day Indian wedding and the artist is doing the makeup for friends and family as well as the bride. And staying on call for touchups the whole time.

[@momonomay3011]

It’s a crazy take. I can think of so many reasons why someone may need to hire a makeup artist, ranging from accessibility, lack of skills/knowledge, and even stress. However there doesn’t need to be a good “justification” for it. You’re allowed to just want it, god forbid I be lazy on my wedding day. If it’s someone’s wedding they can be lazy! They can want the easy option! That’s sort of the fun

[@cheekyb71]

I got married in January, because of YOUR VIDEOS I felt confident enough to do my make-up ❤ I did half a dozen practice runs, and on the morning of my photographer (which is where we spent the money) got some great shots of me doing my make-up and touching up my mum and sister before we left!

Exactly lol I have a small business making plushies and I sell the sewing pattern for my most popular design, and still have plenty of people commission me to make one for them. Learning any skill takes hours (years!) of practice and sometimes specialist education, not everyone has time or skill or patience - not to mention all the equipment and materials you need! 6k does seem a lot but I think he either made that number up or it was probably for a full bridal party for a whole weekend with multiple events and possibly with an assistant, which seems reasonable tbh.

[@jessicamarsh9779]

12:24 I 100% agree $6k for wedding makeup is crazy. But depending on the size of the wedding party (idk what it’s like in other countries) but in the US it’s not uncommon for some people to have large wedding parties sometimes up to 10 people (maid of honor, brides main & flower girl) not including the bride, the mother of the bride & MIL’s. So that’s roughly 13 faces (flower girls aren’t getting full face, maybe some lip gloss, a little blush & maybe mascara depending on the age). Then travel, if it’s a 2-3 hour drive (a location wedding), that would also most likely need a hotel stay, depending on the drive/distance, time of the wedding, if it’s at 10am, then they’ll need to start early & be there early. That where the Hotel comes in at. If it’s a late wedding, driving back late, etc. Then if it’s a large wedding party, the main MUA will need an assistance or 2, so including travel etc for them. Then the “practice round” of makeup. And in the US they usually have a dinner the night before the wedding & sometimes the MUA does the makeup for that. So I can see how it all adds up quickly. Plus the cost of the MUA’s experience. If they are a seasoned MUA, they’re gonna charge more vs one who’s less experienced.

I had three make up trials for my wedding and hated everything they did. One claimed to be a MUA and was…for a Chanel concession. She only had Chanel make up so didn’t have the colours I needed or wanted, and everything she did was really old fashioned. Another only used powder mineral make up on my dry skin and I looked like I’d fallen face first into a pot of powder. I decided to do it myself and while I was looking for a lipstick in John Lewis, I happened upon an amazing girl at Urban Decay. I explained what I was looking for and why, and she sat me down and gave me so many tips. She spent ages with me and helped me have the confidence to do it myself on the day. My friend actually booked a Benefit tutorial, but if you go when it’s quiet, there are some amazing MUAs hiding away in the concession stands who will be more than happy to show you how to use their products. I do wish I’d had the experience of a professional doing it for me on the day, but I loved my make up at my wedding in the end. I think it pays to put a bit of pre-thought and research in, just to make sure it lasts and looks good for the pics.

[@matuin-x5k]

6k for a make up is a lot but i also think the guy just pulled that number out of his ass as an excuse to complain about something that doesnt affect him. i also think that yes, you can go on youtube, or pay for a lesson to teach yourself but... it is not purely about just the skill right. Its also about the product. For example i don't wear foundation but if i would like to do a full glam for my wedding day i would need it. If i pay a make up artist, not only I know that they will be able to match my shade, but that they will bring a primer and a setting spray and a powder and contour and bronzer and whatever else i dont have in my kit that i would have to buy for this one occasion and never use again.

[@MxchiefMaykr]

Yesss I was thinking about that too! Also they are likely to have better products for the specific needs of something like bridal makeup than most people would, so even if you have all the basics they're probably gonna have a foundation that lasts better over the day without needing touch ups or makeup that both looks good irl and doesn't have flashback in photos. You're paying for the experience, the expertise, and the products. Plus even if the figure he pulled out is accurate, that's definitely not average and it's likely either for a celebrity wedding or for something like a several-days long and many people wedding (think classic Indian wedding), and would probably also include hair and the expenses for travel. He also could absolutely have seen a figure in a different currency and been so US brained he didn't consider other countries have their own currency and that that could be like... $200USD or something when converted

[@sarahwatson3192]

I’ve learned a lot from you in general and from Korean makeup trends. I’m more into subtle make up and taking care of my skin so I don’t have to have spend on foundation.

[@sophroniel]

Makeup by monica does SO many awesome videos explaining colour theory! It's thanks to her that I know why these gorgeous moody tones look super weird and dark on my albino *rse! Her videos are informative and useful (and she is GORGEOUS!!)

[@GenXfrom75]

3:17 my hair is striped white in front. I call it my wisdom stripe! All of it is going white and Christmas tinsel now but for a while, it was just my white stripe! I quit dying several years back. And I’m loving my natural salt and ginger.

The gentleman that said the bit about paying for makeup for a wedding event…has never planned a wedding, guarantee. He’ll find out if he ever has to that a team of hair and makeup artist are worth every penny, especially ESPECIALLY if you have a large bridal party, event, and pictures. Trust me, you want an experienced professional who understands lighting and longevity to help you through your day, some artist even stay to do touch ups, or give u a mini kit if they did something like mix your lip color. The right team makes the day so much better(if thats what you want), Also, for some, it can take a min to be comfortable and consistent with makeup, and tutorials are helpful buuuut less stress on wedding day is a bonus. I am not a makeup artist but have planned 3 weddings for family and friends.

[@_.mxggxn._]

I agree regarding the guy saying to just do your own makeup. Not everyone can, and you are paying for their expertise! Surely that’s common sense! Also, I need a lesson with you so I can do my own 😅

[@kjohnston167]

I think you look gorgeous with or without lashes, fun to play with both looks!

[@horrorveronica724]

God, I love the first lady’s hair. I’ve started my transition towards grey now.

[@RatGirl9000]

I can see the perspective of the person saying just learn to do your makeup and do it yourself, but also that same logic can be applied to anything and everything else you pay for in life.

[@LuxeNailsbyJen]

Omg when you mentioned the Auntie, that made me think of my Aunt that literally invited herself to the rehearsal. She WASN’T in the wedding!!!

[@madamedex5989]

"I don't recommend this...but I also do," LOL! We love you, Robert!

[@carbonwildflower]

Robert your eyeshadow looks so nice!!💙🩵

[@Burning0Lilac]

6k is crazy, agree. But to say "just do it yourself" when that same inflation applies to everything wedding. We could all bake a cake, buy and arrange flowers, learn to sew and take pictures and decorate. Why are we singling out makeup? If you want a DIY wedding, go ahead. Let's not disparage professionals or their work though. I could spend years practicing and not accomplish what MUAs so.

[@cs-yq5ed]

Robert, I love your eyes without lashes. It allows us to see the beautiful shadow application. It also allows a better view of your stunning milk chocolate eyes.

[@veeeee96]

I appreciate you so much! Your videos are so calming and uplifting for me. I’m going thro alot atm and having your videos on is helping me so much! Thank you so much for all the effort and authenticity you put into all you do 🥰♥️

[@missdenisebee]

7:46 YES, two mascaras FTW! I’ve been using two different mascaras at a time for a few years. My favorite one for volume is a Mexican brand, Apple. But it can be a little wet, especially when it’s new, so I pair it with a mascara that defines & separates, extra points if it also lengthens. My two favorites for that are Glossier’s Lash Slick & Benefit’s Rollerlash. Two mascaras is a game changer!

[@Catarina_Cologne]

I started watching your videos because I wanted to learn how to do my own makeup for my wedding, and you hooked me for life in the process. I’ve learned so much from you!! 🖤

[@MoonLightt57]

That lip stain on the temples hack is giving how to give yourself hollow temples 💀

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

As someone with actual hollow temples & plenty of natural contour, WHY IN GODS NAME DO PEOPLE WANT TO LOOK SKELETAL??? I feel like the freaking crypt keeper & it’s not cute (I have health issues that make me thin but it’s mostly not life threatening). I’d give anything for some plump in my face - gaunt isn’t aesthetically as pleasing as a face with some roundness. I’m playing with matte highlighter trying to downplay my hollows…which look like actual missing chunks of my head since my glasses create an optical illusion 😂 hmmm maybe if I apply a really light stain there 😂😂😂 and why the peel off kind…a nice soft lip tint stain would certainly work better. Also is lipstain even sweat proof? You’d have to know specifically what breaks down that stain before using it

[@MoonLightt57]

@ I so relate to you I too have hollow temples and I get the struggle lol

[@eli-se4zb]

"If youre dry...lucky you" 😂 resonated hard lol

[@dianamerchant1026]

I’m loving the peacock like color effect of the eyeshadows.❤

[@sorry-I-write-long-comments]

The first video, I just loved the way she spoke. It made her seem so gentle and kind, and made me relax. Feeling like I wasn't stupid for not understanding, just gently explaining. It's weird how people can interpret tones in such a different ways🤔🥰

[@Lovevalarie214]

I have that hair and people are always complementing me and asking me about my grey hair journey. I’ve had so many women come to me and tell me I inspired them to follow suit. I was shocked. And thankful for their kind words.❤️🙏🏼

[@an9770]

omg robert's face at 9:33 is so good 😂😂😂

[@laurieann2714]

I love you with or without lashes!!!! Thanks for your videos always!

[@chrissylee325]

Thank you for making me feel better about using more than 1 mascara 😂 I love a good mascara "cocktail " 😊

[@irenesandron7530]

I am getting married next year and hiring a professional MUA bc I want to look amazing and also get pampered for my big day. Weddings are very stressful, people who work in the industry must have a special skill to deal with bridezillas, groomezillas, momzillas of the bride, auntzillas...

[@sallaa]

Your eye shadow is always stunning and looks lovely with or without lashes. 😊 It would be great to see a video with make up tips for people who wear eye glasses. Rarely come up with videos that explain what works with glasses and what doesn't. 😊

[@oliviamargaretsmith]

Robert! I'm almost glad you can't wear lashes today. But not really hope you're feeling better now, but omg!, that eyeshadow is so so so so beautiful! Thank you for your knowledge and expertise!

[@kendrawhite4639]

The dude at 10:10 pissed me off so much. Makeup is HARD. Professionals exist for a reason. It's not just watch a tutorial and bam you're as good as a professional. I would like to see him try to apply makeup. & yes, pls mansplain me harder daddy 🙄 Can we not trivialize yet another thing that women frequently like & not dismiss the fact that brides want to look beautiful on their wedding day? Which is also widely socially sanctioned? He needs to stop commenting on things he doesn't understand. 6k is also not the usual price (excluding indian bridal makeup which is far more than "just" makeup & is wildly intricate)

[@TheSim1derful]

Sometimes gay men get waayyyyy too comfy commenting on shit women are doing. I would personally never pay money for a professional makeup artist, but I do not speak for all women lol

[@Okada2193]

You have such a beautiful and calming voice, whenever I'm stressed out I come to senses by watching your videos, thank you, brother ❤

[@cw7147]

That first one...im the moron that needs to be taught about makeup like that...its for me, not you, you're already amazing 😂

[@kalikat84]

Hahaha “this looks ridiculous” I scream laugh watching your videos! You’re so kind when critiquing and your tips are fire!! I adore all your channels!!

[@mayamoon9207]

Eye look is STUNNING!!!

[@joannydiez8179]

5:49 that’s the sacheau beauty lip stain lol

[@EzraSprouts]

Thank you!

[@ilovebettyboop17]

Definitely is!!! I would guess in the shade Hey-zel

[@Sandy_Sandwich_001]

Came here to say this! I actually really like them

[@heatherbonelli]

She looked so proud of herself after calling powder all over her blush applicator 🤦🏽‍♀️ I can't imagine that went back in the blush nicely 😬

[@GravityFallsUp]

8:11 I’ve been layering a lengthening/separating mascara (also the telescopic) and a voluminizing mascara for years. Always the best way to get the best of both worlds

[@darcichambers6184]

I did my own hair and makeup for my wedding, but I got married on a cruise ship before it left port. We couldn't afford a honeymoon, so my family paid for this instead of a regular wedding, and I think it was still cheaper than my sister's. Now, I did have an advantage in that I was forced to go to modeling classes because my sister wanted to be a model, and my parents trusted me to make sure nothing bad happened. Thus, I was thrust into a world of makeup and hair even though I was a tomboy who didn't want anything to do with those topics. 😂

[@kinashy8863]

I like how the first person explains everything. It feels like it's ok to not know those things. In second video i think it's a good idea to use lip stain as a contour. I wanted to do it for a long time but I don't have a lip stain yet. I aggre with you on the video about wedding makeup but i also want to add that having a wedding is busy and stressful so if there's anything that someone can do for you it's not lazy. I hate the word "lazy" and i think there's always a valid reason for not doing something but especially in situations like this. Also this person makes it sound like even someone who never did any makeup, never watched other people doing their makeup and doesn't have any makeup at home can easily learn to do beautiful full makeup just by watching makeup videos for a week or few I think the person that colored half of their face a pale color showed it well. Imo the whole point was that the same color of the lips (at the end two halves of the lips have exactly the same color) look different compared to the rest of the face

[@hodso1ra]

The first one was honestly a good tutorial, but yeah the baby talk was a little painful. I don't think I'd watch her for everything, but one or two vids I could maybe do...

[@GenA-y8j]

Robert. My mind is blown. I’ve been watching you for over a year now and I just had to tell you, how I just literally found out you have a twin lmaoooo had a one of your guys’ reaction video come up on my Facebook reels and I was so confused. I was like, why is he talking to himself 😂😂😂

[@kristin7121]

Re: wedding make up! I did my own makeup for my wedding. Did research via tutorials (based on stuff I liked and hooded eyes, etc). Bought quality products (that I continued to use afterwards) and did many trials. Spent some of that mua money on facial, skin treatment. Doing my own makeup gave me a nice peaceful moment to myself and something I could control.

[@deannakeepper4517]

Amen Robert it’s always the “wand” that makes a difference! Sorry I had to but I do that too keeping my favorite wands!

[@dmreddragon6]

Robert, so often when you do your eye makeup, I am over here pleading with you not to hide it behind false lashes. I am happy to see you're not wearing them today...you look great!

[@najalush]

I love the no lashes look ❤️ the obsession with lashes is tired. Natural lashes is 🔥

[@angelrose7451]

Could you maybe do a video about bridal makeup? Just a video with a lot of do's and don'ts and guiding us through the process and things that are important for that day. I would love to hear your knowledge about bridal makeup because I love your overall knowledge and style 🤗

[@s.peters2140]

I've been doing that "cocktailing" thing with my mascara since the 1980's. I've always used a lengthening waterproof black/brown mascara with a navy waterproof mascara on top. Nowadays, I add a mascara primer as well.

[@rabbitholegirl1]

In my favorite makeup store that I visit often, there is a MUA that does her makeup beyond bad. I honestly don't understand how is she working there.

[@anjieinwonderland]

I couldn't stop staring at your eye makeup! Please share the shadow and liners you used! 💜💜💜

[@priscillarodrigues7679]

My sister did my makeup, in fact, my sisters and I did each other’s makeup for all our weddings. Professional makeup artists did trials on us and it was so bad, we were safer doing our own. I have an olive/grey undertone and every MUA has put orange foundation on me! And we didn’t have KZbin (yes we are old( back then so we did everything through trial and error! You are so right, you can learn to do your own from all the videos out there….i am still learning myself!!!

[@Tatjana_J]

your eye makeup, absolutely stunning.

[@elainelouve]

The way to save up on a wedding is to do a small event.x) We paid like 1 000€. Most of that was the venue and food, which was a simple lunch type of food + cake. I bought a nice suit and did my own makeup. We only invited close family and friends.

[@wanderer4262]

the lip stain is the sacheu one! the shade hey-zel i think. i love them sm

[@rosierosyrose]

my go to mascara for like 15 years was a dior one they discontinued and notthingggg has come close to that brush, so devastating

[@Wonderoddity]

ROBERT!! Your eye look is giving siren vibes 😍 so pretty
