They Think We Are STUPID!??? | PRO MUA reacts to TikTok beauty hacks

[@dobbsy22]

If colour changing foundation was a real thing then we would all only need to buy one brand of foundation for the rest of our lives and a lot of the beauty industry would go out of business.

[@ashtontawton1318]

Hahah that's so true

[@alicegaiba]

Also, if a foundation could pick the colour of the skin and mimic it, how could it "know" not to emulate discoloration and such? 🤔

As someone who used to work at Sephora, I saw people applying their full face of skincare/makeup with the testers EVERY single day. We really do not care lmao. But exactly like what you said, sooo many people have used those testers, it’s impossible to be hygienic 😂 I saw people using mascara wands straight from the tube now matter how many times we asked them not to lol…and much worse things too.

We did try to step in and ask people to be more hygienic with the testers if we saw anything really sketchy happening, but I’m not sure if all stores are like that. Just a gentle suggestion like “oh excuse me…I recommend wiping that down with alcohol so it’s more sanitary for you!” 😂 But at the end of the day it ain’t my business 🤷🏼‍♀️ loll

[@samanthafairweather9186]

Ewww! Now I'm feeling sick...🤢

[@momonomay3011]

omg the mascara is way too far for me! not that i’d really be comfortable with using any shared testers, but sharing a wand that touches your eyes is a whole other NOPE. Just asking for some nasty pink eye/conjunctivitis. Not to mention, your eyes actually have their own separate immune system, your general immune system actually does not impact your eyes. Meaning if you’re swapping spoolie wands with all the public, that little immune system is working double time to help you not get an eye infection

[@karenward267]

All I could think of was a petrie dish full of bacteria growing in a moist environment. Made my stomach turn thinking of using non-individual samples.

As someome who is 35 I always crack up with the auper youngsters acting like all these things are new when nothing is new under the sun. When I was younger I would spray my face with hairspray to set my make up, spray my face with either a water bottle or body spray to refresh my face since those facial refresher sprays didn't exist qnd carefully use my mascara on ,y eyebrows to color them in. Alot of my tricks I learned from my drag queens friends ai befriend/spoke to via myspace back in my high school day's qnd the one major tip I learned from my mom was to take down foundation & powder to my neck unless I wanted to look like a clown by only covering my face.. To avoid to spider lashes I carefully use a safety pin to separate my lashes so my point is nothing is new under this sun although these youngsters are acting like they invented the sun... ​@@littlemy1773

[@brinut65]

My grandma, who was born in 1930, taught me to do this lol it's such an old trick

[@geslinam9703]

Nothing was easy to find back then. Department stores had what - 5 high end brands to choose from? Brushes, maybe people used one for blush - and good ones were not easy to find. We used the foam pads or puffs and cheap little brushes that came with products. Sometimes I would use watercolor brushes I bought from an art supply store. My friend who had oily skin used TP and tissues for blotting. Later, she was able to find blotting papers in an Asian grocery. We only had magazines for learning about makeup, and anything you ordered thru the mail was a risk. I remember when Benefit first became a thing, we drove over an hour to a mall where they sold it near NYC, and it was a huge deal. I guess this is why I appreciate Sephora and Ulta so much…I know what it was like to live without those places! I love to say to my nieces….when I was your age, we had Kmart and Woolworths, and grandma sure as hell wasn’t buying me $50 foundations….

[@Stormileo]

I always use testers on my arm or hand with a disposable applicator. I will never understand people who apply testers directly on their face. The germs on those things is unreal

[@hellsbells8689]

I'm nearly 60y/o so make-up has changed a lot in my life time. We had the tissue trick for shine back in the day. I always found if I just gently touched my shiny forehead with the back of my clean hand, the shine we gone. It didn't remove any make-up or make it look cakey. I remember showing my Gran (another huge make-up lover) the de-shine trick I had discovered on my own, when I was about 13ish and she was flabbergasted. Remember, we didn't have anyone to turn to, to get tips & tricks or to get recommendations from like we can now. If we were lucky, there may be a tip or two in a teenage magazine but they were often on the lines of 5 minute crafts. "Boys like you with minty glossy lips. Got no rollerball lipgloss left? Simply use toothpaste and Vaseline. He'll love it."

[@braelinnbjerklie2144]

Toothpaste and Vaseline?!? Good lord!!

[@samanthafairweather9186]

I'm 51, and using toilet paper and/or tissues to blot your makeup when you get oily or sweaty isn't exactly a "new hack". I remember my great grandmother doing this when I was a kid. She always wore makeup, due to her job (she was a madam), and had to always look immaculate. So I've always known to carry tissues for that reason. I 💬 no that most Australian women carry tissues in their handbags for this very reason - especially in summer!

[@mcomeaux3087]

Also with the dabbing instead of powdering with the oil - something that works really well too is to use your fingers to move/press the product back into your skin, especially if it slid out of place! When I use powder it looks very cakey until I do that, or I dab with a napkin/clean puff and then use my fingers to work the product back in and soften it up when it lifts

[@margot64fern]

Just a tip because I’ve done this 😮 if you dab at oil with a piece of toilet paper in the stall without a mirror, check your face closely while washing hands. Public restroom toilet paper is so cheap, pieces can stick to your face!

I have never witnessed anyone putting anything directly on their face. We are always providing an experience so that includes educating every client that walks through our doors and assisting them with everything to ensure we maintain high levels of hygiene, also sitting them down and showing them how to appropriately use products that suit them (this is also a way to control how clean our store is).

The material of the disposable seat cover you get in restrooms is very similar to the rice paper you buy for absorbing the face oil...it works

I work at Sephora and I literally don’t care. Hell, I’ve jumped in a few vlogs 😂

i’ve been doing the TP trick since i started wearing makeup, and i swear by it! it takes very little makeup off, it soaks all the oils and i don’t have to carry one more item on my bag!

Love you Robert for being real!!! Thank you!!!

With the last tip if you cant find a cool toned brown lip liner you can always use ash brown eyebrow pencil as long as its not super waxy and not too dark if you are pale

[@sea_g0at]

also for the lip lining tip- i learned from an isamaya video that she uses an eyebrow pencil to do that because it’s a sort of desaturated cool tone that mimics shadow and it’s worked well for me

8:45 The audacity.. 😂

I heard that eye roll all the way across the Atlantic! Gah dayum! Love your commentary and sharing of true makeup knowledge Robert!

I’ve used the toilet paper plotting method since the early 2000s and it does work quite well.

Crying at the video where the lady squints harder and then relaxes her face 😂😂😂 your reaction had me cryin

[@sallygreer5678]

Love that lip contour look.

[@ShellyS2060]

Today I learned how "color adapting" products work. Thanks!

[@RuthDeane]

I like the look of those lip contouring products you showed us, I do struggle with contour as I have pale cool toned skin and most contour looks to bronzey or orangey on me. But the one you used looks like a nice shade 😁

7:05 Marilyn Monroe works for movies, and since cameras back then are different from what we have now, we used to make do with what it has. The makeup technique (foundation, then other areas of your face i.e. brows, cheeks, lips, then topped with airspun powder, finished with a dust off) is best used for moving picture reasons and it will probably look crazy irl, and we can sometimes still see this technique used by drag queens of today. Plus, Marilyn has dry skin, so it's helpful to use Vaseline as a base. Fun fact: Marilyn made use of the peach fuzz on her face to make her face look blurry on camera!

Loving your natural make-up in this video, Robert 🫶

[@shaunleonard3878]

I rarely use sample products due to my concern about germs and bacteria 🦠. I love the lip liner tip. As someone with oily skin, I knew about the toilet paper or paper towels trick. 😊

[@irene-dt1lb]

Cool toned eyebrow pencils work for the last lip hack too
