TRYING MAKEUP HACKS FROM PRO MUAS!! | Makeup hacks from the professionals!

[@RobertWelsh]

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words! 🖤🖤🖤

[@thesecondkate]

You forgot to put AD on the title Robert 😭

[@montananerd8244]

Thank you for your content, I appreciate that your sponsored content is a lot more than a '23 infomercial, like so many influencers. I can't afford merit, and it's nice that the products can be highlighted without making the video useless for non-shoppers. I love that I can use your tips with the collection I own. Also, your old tip to lay down a good blendable base of a powder eyeshadow under tricksy formulas. I panned an iconic London shade in a few months, found that Maybelline's mono shade linen is ideal for this (& not much else lol) & blends like a high end one, minus the pigment. Trust me to find the cheapest way to apply your advice (& I had a coupon, so the shadow was $.90!!!)

[@therealJamieJoy]

You look beautiful, Robert! I love every tip you've chosen to show us today. Thank you 💜🖤💜🖤

[@mikethepigeonwhisperer]

I love that collar, but I'd be a masochist to wear it with makeup. Not sure how Robert does it, but I'm fairly certain it involves witchcraft.

[@laur83]

maybe his beard shields it? i would also not tbh 😂

[@mikethepigeonwhisperer]

@@laur83 beards hide so much and probably help save on so much product, if I could grow one I probably would and use it as a form of contour.

[@juleslund1515]

Love your words

[@deniece0821]

I used to have that problem when I'd wear white/light tops/sweaters, etc. I just hit my jawline and neck with a good bit of setting powder and setting spray. Since I've been doing that I haven't had a problem with makeup getting on my clothes like I used to. Now, makeup transferring and building up on my eyeglasses is a different story. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤓 My foundation/concealer always gets gunked up on the frames where they sit on the bridge of my nose. 😐

[@Abby_Liu]

surely he unzips the top most the time and just zip it up for video/being out 😂

[@dragonbaby7660]

13:24 THAT's a rare reaction from Robert. THAT's when you know he's impressed. Pro MUA hacks hits different!

[@maryeckel9682]

17:15 the little whhhhooo noise!

[@jordandubin]

Honestly an awesome highlight tip but I have to admit with the least shade possible, I had to go back and rewatch because I found myself SO DISTRACTED (and confused?) by the three bumps on her forehead above her brows... are those like, fresh botox injection sites? I'm so clueless but dang.

[@KrystalMimms]

When u see the big grin and that little chuckle! You know its good lol

[@hadesisbaby]

@@jordandubini have no idea who you’re talking about but clearly you need to be retaught what kindergarteners are taught; if what you’re about to comment on cannot be fixed in five seconds, don’t comment on it. instead i would try… minding your own business! 🤎

[@jordandubin]

@@hadesisbaby fixed in five seconds? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard, and I hope you don't let kindergartners comment on yt vids 😂 fixed in five secs lmao

[@laur83]

adore that smoky eye hack. i hardly ever do smoky eyes because i’m lazy but that’s easy as can be.

[@RobertWelsh]

It’s so quick too!

Spencer is fabulous

[@whitwillie4052]

The way your face lights up when you are passionate about makeup product is me with my favorite donut 💜

[@LunarEleven]

It's me watching this whole video!! Cheers! 🍩

[@whitwillie4052]

@@LunarEleven love is love 🤣

[@montananerd8244]

Ok whitwillie, I gotta know, what's your favorite donut??? Extremely fresh plain cake is #1 for me, then a maple long John, then a vanilla glazed crueller (I love really old fashioned donuts lol).

[@LunarEleven]

@@montananerd8244 I almost asked that too but I felt dumb for some reason 😂 fresh, hot plain cake are one of my faves too, and cold ones are the worst... They're like french fries to me. Classic glazed still warm are also great. My favorite is hard to find, fresh glazed filled with cream (not sweet, not artificial, not vanilla pudding they call "cream") I don't like too much sweetness... If they're coated in icing I can't eat 6 at a time 😢

[@LunarEleven]

@@montananerd8244 oh maple long Johns are delish too, dunno about @whitwillie but I think you and I have the same tastes! I also love funnel cake, used to make them at home all the time :)

[@THEMamaVicky]

😮 I remember a very long time ago, an elderly Chinese lady told me she ground up actual pearls and mixed it in with her cream eye shadows. I've never tried it, because I'm not rich, but she always looked fabulous.

[@tammystiletto]

That’s amazing! It’s super easy to find pearly pigments now. I was just thinking about this the other day, in art supplies we now have Pearlized powders instead of just glitter, and water colors now come in a shimmery pearl. Kudos to that lady for being a pioneer 🙌🏻

[@NonaPaskemin]

So crazy how all the tips from MUAs are useful, pretty and applicable to a lot of people. No gimmicky hacks or clickbait, just pure love of the art of makeup!

[@sageandbone]

I didn't know who paintedbyspencer was but I thought he was AI generated until I googled him 😂 wow that person looks flawless

[@vanydakhiev3910]

He doesn’t look real! He recommends the Elemis cleansing balm to prep his skin before makeup and in one of his videos, you can see the container was almost empty and well loved. I like him!

[@maryelizabeth2581]

I adore him! He has wonderful videos!!!

[@AmandaBabyyyyy]

Spencer is stunning and so so sweet, I love his videos!

[@olaa2880]

And his makeup looks are absolutely stunning❤

[@Metzli]

I was very uncomfortable looking at him because he looks like he came straight from the uncanny valley 😬

[@freyavikinggoddess]

So refreshing to see a Professional Make Up Artist look to others for inspiration and new ideas. I think it speaks to your awesome personality...instead of thinking you have all the answers, you're open to new techniques. Love, love you and your channel!!! 🤍💙🧿

[@natalyabaranova6827]

The first two people look like they prefer more "uncanny valley" look, rather than natural.

[@taylortarantino_o]

Why was that person that showed up the first hack putting off such creepy vibes. Was it on purpose or is it just me?

[@lunamoon301]

Too much plumpers in face. Looks like a cartoon character.

[@saltoftheegg]

It's the uncanny valley, he's got so much plastic surgery that your brain genuinely has a hard time accepting that you're looking at a human face

[@EmilyVuitton]

I'm so used to watching "hacks" on the Twin channel that I expected these to be bad, but they're all really great! Love the context and expertise you provide, Robert 💜🖤

[@clarehartland150]

Proper tips, not stupid stunts to get likes. That’s the difference there! I love your reaction to a good highlighter 😂

[@suhailreads]

I unsubscribed from all beauty gurus last year to save money and not be tempted to buy new makeup. I missed your content so much! Your personality is top tier! Love your new reaction channel too! Congrats on the collab! The make up bag is gorgeous!

[@kvarner6886]

Liked the video, but I would've put #ad in the title like your other videos that are centered around a brand. I thought I'd gotten past the ad part after the beginning, but the constant mentioning of the ingredients and benefits of the sponsored products throughout the video was a bit off-putting for me, personally. Still love you and your content though!

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

I'm 100% trying that highlighter technique today! I love highlighter under my brow. I actually have a scar under my right brow from an accident when I was a child and I love making it stand out for individuality. I don't even own red blush because I'm so frightened of it! I adore Katie Jane Hughes! I'm so proud of myself because that's always how I apply my lip liner!

[@ChristinePacinda]

These are really great hacks! Tomorrow morning when I do my makeup I'm going to try every single one of these. Thank you for sharing and demonstrating these!

[@aleigha9141]

Congratulations on the sponsorship! 🎊🎉 Merit really does have some great products. Those were some awesome hacks! I love the way your look turned out. And the lip! Gorgeous! I struggle with actual lipstick application so I usually stick to glosses and lip oils, but I think I could do that hack. And I love the way it turned out. Thank you for another great video ❤️ have a great rest of your week! Hugs! 🖤💜

[@RobertWelsh]

Thank you so so much! 🖤

[@aleigha9141]

@@RobertWelsh you’re very welcome! 😊

[@frogwater237]

I love watching your videos because we have very similar tastes in makeup haha. As a guy, I had a hard time finding beauty influencers that looked like me. All the ones that were popular had perfect skin and hairless faces, so I’m really glad I found your channel! Also, I’m definitely gonna try that highlighter hack 👀

[@abbyc.4458]

Loved this! I love how the pros are so generous with sharing their knowledge with us on TikTok! It’s not about “influencing,” pushing products, or making sales. Revives my passion for makeup lol

[@Kaeracter]

Tiktok is such a bizarre world. The first one looked so fake - like some bizarre face molding filter (aside from any cosmetic surgery, they moved weird). The second one looked like they had a sunburn (Roberts version was so much better imo).

[@RedPanda79]

I always liked how Spencer has dark skin black women in his videos. I go to his videos sometimes to rewatch how to glam up

[@RobertWelsh]

Yea he’s a true artist and it’s great to see him show his skills on so many different types of people

[@maryeckel9682]

I'm excited to discover him! He's beautiful and his ideas make sense.

[@maryeckel9682]

Ooh, I just watched his glam look on mature skin, and wow!

[@shellzabelle4146]

So I struggled with all the “normal” blush shades for YEARS and just couldn’t find one that didn’t look strange on my skin. I saw a TikTok by Paintedbyspencer and a video by Wayne Goss both insisting that red blush is a MUST (specifically the one made by Nars). I was terrified at first but omg I finally found a blush that looks good on my skin tone. Who would have thought my shade would be fire engine red 😂

[@YurKillingMeSmalls]

Yes I saw them both raving about Nars Exhibit A, it was sold out at several stores so I ended up buying Haus Labs Watermelon Bliss and have never looked back! Was always afraid of red blush, I adore it now.

[@onimendez7735]

Lovely Robert, all the mua hacks are simply, yet effective for an enhancing look. Congrats on your collab, Merit is cruelty free ( a must for me) 💜

[@Ali_OT7]

I adore red blush! I found a multi-use red powder at hot topic when I was in college; I bought it for eyeshadow but it was gorgeous on the cheeks as well. I'm incredibly pale but red blush (blended well, obviously) looks absolutely beautiful!

[@feminerdy]

I love highlighter beneath the brow! And not just because everything I know about highlight (pre-Robert of course!) was learned from doing theater/stage makeup 😅

[@lisaduchateau]

Love the subtlety of this look! Very cool hacks too. I will definitely be trying the highlighter and smokey eye hack! Thanks, Robert!!

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Robert, I love this kind of video, can you please do more videos like this it’s like a master class for us who are not professional,but love makeup, i very much enjoyed watching this video thank you so much. Love Katherine xoxo

[@chantaltwang4718]

Congratulations on another collab! So proud of you!

[@glitteringmaze]

Congrats on the collab! I’ve really been considering Merit so knowing it has your approval makes it more enticing!

[@marialenadonta]

Since I was a teenager I've always loved red blush! any other color would just look wrong on me so I am all for this "tip"

[@marcibrown7944]

Robert I have an eyebrow problem. I had cancer and I lost all of my body hair. My eyebrows grew back silver and my left arch is about 1/4 inch higher then my right eyebrow arch. Help!!!

[@MrsTefee]

I really dislike how everyones skin on tiktok looks like plastic... So weird looking and not real

[@Neonatnoon]

I appreciate this curated collection of tips, I want to try them all! Thank you Robert!

[@SheilaMarguerite]

I love the smokey eye hack, that's a really nice subtle one for work days 😊

[@theelletrain4775]

I love Merit! And Robert! What a perfect collaboration❣️ All of the MUA hacks were gorgeous too. I must try it alllll 😂

[@ConnorAdventure]

I am literally rewatching one of your TikTok makeup hacks from 3 years ago right now! 😂💜

[@plushdragonteddy]

something i find funny about the tiktok for the highlight hack is how she says the stripe of highlight “will look dated in a few years.” bestie, i’m only wearing my makeup for a few hours 😂 i’m not worried about how it will look years from now! if anything, i love looking back on old photos and seeing the changing makeup trends. the hack was good, but no need to diss the highlighter stripe lol

[@arianagandu]

omg merit's highlighter really is the best, and their lipstick in 1990!!!!! the perfect 90s brown

[@caitlinbrown2313]

I love red blush! I'm a super pale, neutral undertone, ginger, so with most red blushes, a little goes a long way on me, but it works really well and looks very natural. My favorite thing to do is apply a red cream blush to my cheeks, temples, and lips for a simple, cohesive look. (I can't quite claim that it's a monochromatic look because I love bronzer and highlighter on the eyes to create depth and shine.) Love you and your presence on KZbin, Robert! 💚💜

[@nicoleortiz9884]

OMG that guys face in the first video scare the S*** out of me. holy cow! Talk about uncanny valley IRL

[@thekimannas]

I didnt think I could adore you more than I already do, but your trepidation with the scary red blush was so endearing.❤❤❤❤

[@stelladoestrix4960]

I already do the highlighter one - I can’t stand that strip and think it looks so obvious, except I do it as kind of a C shape around my eyes.

[@clubtonberry]

even though it's outdated, i still highlight under my brow as i have hooded eyes and it gives the illusion that my lids are higher.

[@RobertWelsh]

I still love it!

[@ChristinaGarner1]

That little chuckle of yours has always and will always make me smile. In this video, you do it specifically after saying, "it's so stunning," at 13:22. That just makes me so happy to hear ❤

[@chillith926]

i could have sworn I've seen that highlighter hack on this channel before 🤔 maybe it was on the twin channel?

[@rianorman3526]

I always dab a little blush on my chin and forehead having watched Erin Parsons do it. The highlighter in the corners of my eyes is a must!!! I love the Ciate London highlighter from you colab. xxxx 💜🖤💜🖤

[@maryeckel9682]

I love Erin!

[@ohisme143]

accidentally played this video on .75 speed for the first few mins and was wondering why Robert sounded tipsy 😂

[@amandaterrio4823]

I’m feeling incredibly influenced. I want the essentials bundle so bad

[@Verbsdescribeus]

thank you for another confirrmation of dark shades for definting the eyes and that smokey is not a color is a technique :)

[@somethingsomethingname4814]

Congrats Robert! 🎉 I own every Merit lipstick and they are absolutely as good as everyone says. Spencer is such an amazing makeup artist too. He actually gives useful tips and tricks that aren't ridiculously complicated but TOTALLY up your game. ❤

I was literally just browsing them and wondering if I should try one lol

[@somethingsomethingname4814]

@WitchOracle Hiiiighly recommend! So comfortable on the lips and I swear every shade looks good on every tone. I don't know how they managed it! Happy shopping! 😋

[@theelletrain4775]

I picked up “Slip” along with Robert’s Favorites, it’s all so gorgeous.

[@madsquishy3410]

This look is STUNNING on you, Robert!!! I definitely need that bundle and the price is amazing for what you get and how good the brand is. Thank you thank you for always giving us the real real when it comes to makeup.

“The professionals” 😂 gosh I love you

[@sallycain3716]

Congrats on the Merit favourites!!

[@quinlantaylor04]

Red blush looks good on everyone! A cream or liquid one works better because you can control the amount. A great hack if you don’t own one is use a non sticky red lipstick or tinted balm.

[@oceankitofficial]

Most MERIT Products are very much KOMEDOGENIC !! They use waxes, talc and a lot of oils in their products, which are highly clogging..

[@Kris.with.a.K]

Good grief, Robert! 😍 You are magnificently handsome! Stunning, indeed! 💜🖤💜🖤💜

[@charmgirl458]

Thanks Robert!! I got the essentials. I used to work for Sephora so I’ve tried the lipstick (Baby is my favorite shade too) and bronzing balm. LOVE. Thanks for the deal, my dude. 💋

[@sea_g0at]

i have the merit lipstick in l’avenue (?) and it’s really pretty! feels nice. kinda sheer but buildable. unique formula to my collection.

[@jkopf927]

I LOVE the Merit complexion stick. I just got the day glow and blush- would you recommend a finger application for the blush?

[@stacieevans6763]

The highlighter MUA voice pierced my eardrums.. Couldn’t sit through a whole face of makeup with that voice in my ears…😣😣😣

[@Pinky.Fuchsia]

I will always highlight under my brow. There’s nothing like a light, cream highlight catching the light right under the brow, imo. Of course, I still love blinding highlighters, and always will.

[@lisgelfling1031]

I just started playing and experimenting with make-up: I love it all, each and every step. It's like I'm falling in love with myself again! !!!! Thank you for this video! I love your giggle during the highlighter tip: it's like you're falling in love with *yourself* all over again!!!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩

[@belajadevotchka2]

Was that first guy some AI creation? He gives uncanny valley so bad it made my skin crawl.

[@CatMcCloud]

YES, red blush is flattering to everyone! I’ve been saying it for years! And Kevyn Aucoin said you should dot blush on the chin & forehead too.

[@deniece0821]

I just had to share this. A new little bistro opened up next to my apt building. I finally made it there today to try dinner. The server was a lovely young lady of about 25-ish and basically brought me a sampling of their homemade soups. I ended up going with a bowl of their Italian Wedding Soup. I should have known better. Not to sound conceited but I'm Italian-American and make a banging Italian Wedding Soup. I can't take the credit, though. The recipe is my Nonna's and I've yet to find another one that even comes close to hers. Anyhoo, the server *excitedly* asked me how the soup was. I'm one of those people who don't like to hurt people's feelings and will fib a bit/tell a little white lie to avoid hurting one's feelings. I said "The Bruschetta was really good but the soup was...ummm...well..I mean, it's fine. It's fine." She replied "You said that _its fine_ just like Robert Welsh. You probably have no idea who he is." I practically screamed with delight and told her that YES, of course I know who Robert is!! Then we chit-chatted about how much we adore Robert, James and Marcus, whom she didn't even know about. I think she was taken aback that I knew who Robert was because I doubt I'm his "target audience." I'm 54 years old and have been wearing make-up since I was 14 years old. Once I turned 50 I really needed to reassess and revamp the way I wore makeup. For the most part Robert has single-handedly taught me how to wear makeup at my "semi-mature" age. We were talking about how we get a kick out of when Robert says something is *"fine."* Sometimes his _its fine_ means; it's nothing revolutionary but it works. Sometimes it means; there's much better products on the market but this is all I had at the time. Sometimes it means; I really don't care for this but I don't want to hurt the person's feelings. Sometimes it means; it's not for me and I don't like it but you do you. 😁

[@m0rbidm0mma]

I'm 41 (and spectacular) Merit products are the best for fine lines. So so worth the money. Great tips

[@beevonerd]

No shade but that first guy looks like an AI prompt for oily/shiny barely real appearing human. Lowkey kinda sus but 🤷🏿‍♂️ ig that's his look.

[@jodilynn9514]

I was 44 years Old when i found out when “Smokey” didn’t meant black 😱 I have NEVER wanted to order makeup from anyone….til now. Is it ok for oily skin? 😬

[@LeOhio817]

A red or dark blush can be toned down with a small amount of foundation or concealer as well. Another artist I watch recommended this. Edit: Great video and congrats on the collaboration.

[@montananerd8244]

Lol I love dark blush but it's always a task to get it right. I found some pretty poorly pigmented waxy blush at Dollar Tree, but the shades are bold and I'm super excited because I need a wax or balm layer on my cheeks in the winter anyway. It tells you how challenging these shades are that I'm choosing my Clean Beauty blush (incredible name as there is nothing clean beauty-related going on 😂) over my very lovely stila or Tarte options that do have pigment. I wish drugstore would dupe some Dollar Tree products and make them a bit nicer in formulation.

Please could you do this again with celebrity makeup artists? After watching Rhi’s makeup artist I’ve been doing the “Rihanna sweep” highlighter technique ever since, whereas Lady Gaga’s makeup artist considers “vibes” before anything else, and gaga doesn’t wear setting powder most of the time which is unheard of these days. Edit: I’m excited to hear your opinions like are you completely over this technique? Did you used to love it until something changed your mind? Give me all those Robert thoughts 💅

FYI on the sponsor, a simple google search can tell you that 'non-comedogenic' is a marketing term. No brand can guarantee their product won't clog your pores. As an MUA shouldn't you know this?

[@FatFibroMama]
