A tip from a Korean makeup artist which stood out to me is that on special occasions we should try to strive for more timeless makeup looks and not what's currently trending because you are going to look at these pictures years from now in the future and you are going to notice how outdated it looks.

[@wooogie672]

i disagree lol. another beauty youtuber talked about this, but she says that she prefers to look at these “outdated” makeup looks in photos as a time capsule of sorts-even if we look back 10 years later and are like “wtf was i thinking!” it serves as a reminder that we are always changing as people and culture, including our tastes :)

[@justanopinion7913]

That's a fact! As a certified beautician in Switzerland I see this ALL THE TIME! what annoys me the most are people with already small noses cutting basically their small noses even more so and it looks just funny lol it's just a trend that somehow survived all these years

[@lucyjane3803]

I mean... nobody actually NEEDS to 😅

[@Pinky.Fuchsia]

I much prefer a kiss of bronzer on my nose for everyday makeup. And very minimal contouring when I do. I don’t think people are taking their own nose shape and size into account when they contour. They just recreate the same two lines and a circle they see everyone else do.

[@Silkenchérie]

Yes he gets sassy sometimes, but so has James, and if you've ever watched the twins Channel where they're together, he's actually very silly and a big old teddy bear inside. Watch him interact with his dogs, or listen to him talk about people who are going through a hard time, and he's the sweetest. I used to think that he was the mean one, because he's got that sassiness, but if you notice it's always about people who give out bad information or say things that are nonsense about makeup to a large audience that believes them. If you had to constantly get questioned about these stupid trends that make no sense, or the stupid makeup hacks that make no sense, you would probably get sassy too

I’m 34, and I also agree. I in general feel like that it’s nearly an editorial makeup being brought out as smth nearly natural. For my posts on IG I definitely do it different than I would, if I’d go out. At this point I also don’t really like to see, when people does those kind of editorial makeups, but then skips editing the photos part, which is, imho, quite an essential part of the process to show off the work properly. I’ve spoken to people who are wondering “why these or that people’s works looks outstanding”, and I’m, like: “Editing those works matters. And lighting also matters. Also you should remember that it all never looks the same in natural light.”

Call them out, Robert! The fact some of these influencers believe they have "credentials" (aka putting makeup on their own face & having followers) is baffling to me. It takes more than that. Also a lot of times, they put out either misleading or false content and posts about makeup only fitting for one face shape: their own. As an Asian American who grew up with predominantly white makeup creators on KZbin with no background of expertise, it's frustrating when they're telling you to do your makeup the same as them. Luckily, I did research of other Asian MUA to help me but it's disappointing to see the beauty community like this on tik tok & YT to this day, tho I'm grateful for others like you on the platform informing us on what's real.

[@plursocks]

I didn't like overlining the last time around, and I continue to dislike it.

Throw in excessive lip filler, where social media is concerned now, and 😭... it just looks so bad!

[@queenofwales_]

That overlined lip topic is such topic for some 10 years already. 😂 I dislike it so much (unless it’s done correctly, then it can be nice). Regarding the bronzer as a contour… to me personally it feels like I can’t really find a contour product. Mostly in the shops I see bronzers only. And even if I find a contour, it’s often anyway too warm for my cool toned fair skin. 😭 So, perhaps, that one is not always necessarily someone just using a bronzer for the wrong purpose - perhaps, the person couldn’t find a better / correct option. 👀

I love when Robert calls this stupid ideas out 😂❤ so glad I've never felt for trends and had a good training as a teenager ❤

[@dinasilva9263]

The only trend i follow is watching Robert. He helps me to stop making mistakes with my makeup and i love his sense of humor❤

[@Eli_Opal]

I'm finally getting back into make up after a long time of not really having the time or patience and honestly thank you for this because these trends could've taken me down a dark path

[@Ravenqueen3]

Robert's sass is on 🔥. 🤣

[@jacquialeksovski9408]

I love Robert & James, their laugh cracks me up. I want Robert’s divine mirror!

[@erinmcclain6423]

I think the overarching issue here is that so many of these trends were just made for social media engagement by (sometimes) people who don't really know what they're talking about. Like do you just wear makeup or do you actually understand makeup and what different products do?

[@ShayeZee]

Thank u sooooo much for the cream blush comment! I have NEVER set my cream blush and have been seriously confused when influencers do it!!!

[@nopetynopeimonaboat]

Robert, I get what you’re saying about some influencers. It’s like they’re not offering things besides themselves sometimes. It doesn’t even have to be skill or talent in the area that they’re directly advertising - it could be editing skill - or they could be a good performer. But, when it feels like an influencer’s content lacks that flair in any noticeable way, it can be frustrating. It's like a one-way win for that person only, especially if they've been bought out when people are seeking honest opinions.

[@humi6594]

6:00 i completely understand what you're saying. i see so many makeup influencers nowadays who have the same skill set as me... and I'm an absolute beginner😅

[@morganwhite2176]

Whenever stressed, watching you really is so nice. Bright lighting and calming atmosphere. xx

[@nikkababe]

I’m obsessed with this look. I’m half listening half staring at your eyes every time you blink. So enticing. Fab.

[@michelealexander7995]

Love the video!❤ one trend I'm tired of seeing is the freckles trend. Oh, maybe two, the whole 'I want to look natural, but everything I'm using isn't.' Like make-up is because you want to enhance your natural looks. So many people tell me,'Oh, I don't wear makeup...' but have a full face of powder foundation on. 🙃 Why the lie,Sis? We are all slaying in our own way, own it.

[@legndofphoenix]

Freckles as a trend has helped me love and embrace the freckles I do have. I put on more because they're cute. I don't know what's wrong with it.

[@michelealexander7995]

​ @legndofphoenix Not say anything is wrong but they're are people who go over board. I have no problems with freckles my niece and older brother has them. I just answered a question that Robert gave in the video. 😊 I'm not looking for an argument, hun.

[@Nakia11798]

Legit. If they wanna look natural, use a little tinted moisturizer and go on with your day.

[@Nakia11798]

​@legndofphoenix one issue is that girls with freckles were mocked not too long ago. It's like mocking brown eyes, then wearing brown contacts the next week.

[@legndofphoenix]

@@Nakia11798 I grew up with freckles. I like fake freckles. Them being seen as beautiful is good, we need to stop this "I was bullied so other people need to also be bullied" shit

[@_Herrise_]

Love it! To continue on brands calling you "Bae, etc." When strangers (cashiers, associates in stores, servers) call me "Love, sweetheart, etc." I want to die inside! I don't know you, you are making me feel like a child, even though I'm in my mid 20s, soon to approach 30. Stop calling strangers pet names!!

[@michelebright6603]

You are the absolute best!! 😂😂😂 "Photographic Evidence"!!

[@bellaleu7782]

Love an aggressive Robert! You know it’s serious when he says it must die ☠️ The eye look is perfect for Autumn. ❤Bella 🇺🇸

[@RebekkaHay]

One thing that grinds my gears to no end is the “brightening” under eye concealer that is like 16 shades lighter than the person’s skin tone. Sometimes it looks like a make up caricature. People mindlessly try to up one each other w/o any understanding about what it is they’re doing. There, I’ve said it.

[@deedeedussard]

Omg I hate it soo much too. I was buying concealer and I'd brought one previously that was too light. I asked the shop owner if they had a tester in the one I wanted to try and some girl chimes in and tells me I should use the one I'd brought previously. I told her I'm In My 40s I don't want my wrinkles highlighted I want to conceal the bag the silly child who was 4 shades darker than me told me she used the really light one and it was fine. So I told her I wasn't a drag queen and to mind her business and not be in grown people's ISH and the shop keeper and another shopper started laughing and she finally left me alone and went to pay 😂😂😂😂 sorry that was long but it annoys me so much I super hate that look

[@RebekkaHay]

@@deedeedussard That’s the way to do it 🙌

[@bisexualantigone]

And then everyone clapped, yeah? ​@@deedeedussard

[@Jessie12N]

And to add to the "bright" under eyes, they add a crazy color for their blush like purple or hot pink and it looks so clownish. So you have practically white under eyes with hot pink or bright purple cheeks. yikes!

[@NJCoolChick67]

LOL - I’m dead “does it though?” 😂

[@RianaJas]

This is good advice about the liquid blush I’ve been so confused cause every single time I see a tutorial with makeup steps it’s like liquid blush, then powder blush… and I’m always like doesn’t that ruin the colour / pretty finish of the liquid blush?

[@monicawall778]

Gotta say I love your evil-sounding laugh.

[@nany____]

Fr, fr, people need to start learning makeup FROM MAKEUP ARTISTS instead of internet influencers, most of them barely can make THEIR OWN face look good irl and their technique and "hacks" are shit 😭

[@KLD-es6ft]

I just started doing makeup professionally and learned REAL quick just how much harder it is to apply on other ppl ..and now I cringe at all the "makeup artists" I watched ten years ago who only did makeup on themselves 😅 That's a fun hobby and all, but not being a mua

[@wooogie672]

the amount of “this is why [light] concealer looks bad on you” videos i’ve seen from non-professional makeup influencers pisses me off so much. they’ll blend their literal bronzer underneath their eyes and put non-lightened concealer on top of that to compare with the “old,” lighter version. they’re always like “see the difference it makes” and i’m like… yeah queen… the light concealer still looks way better 😭💀

[@ev14lyn]

Facts!

[@Tinka1177]

Totally agree about using powder products over cream products on oily skin.

[@Erin13xx]

Addressing reverse nose contour. Thank you 🥲🙏

[@oracleofdreams]

Agree on the cream blush! My skin is combo, and I've learned that I'd rather deal with dry cheeks, needing to set with hydrating setting spray over the dry areas. Cream anything just melts right off, even when I press my foundation and the cream items.

[@sweigh72]

Petty Robert is just what I needed today .. Blessings to you too Robert 🤍

[@bettylehmann2351]

I love the way you say it straight & how honest you are. It’s true it doesn’t look the same in real life as it does on camera.💖

[@blendofdays]

Robert I knew immediately the first time you mentioned the powder line! It absolutely is a drag makeup thing that has spilled over!

[@tatjanaarandelovic9555]

I love petty, sassy and swearing Robert ❤! And I totally agree with each and every point of view of yours!!! xxx

[@keanifer]

The thumbnail is giving a Moo Deng level of attitude 😂

[@LeeC-t2w]

You are NOT just lucky to have your job but you are truly gifted. Love your channel!!❤

[@CatherineFarrar-wy1nw]

“I blame online for everything “ lmao; That’s my tombstone wording sorted !!
