The TikTok Makeup Doctor | Pro MUA reacts to makeup "based on science"

[@teachmetohowl]

We're supposed take the word of doctors when it comes to health, not makeup. You as a MAKEUP artist have the full right to critique a doctor if he's talking about makeup!

[@RobertWelsh]

🖤🖤🖤

[@mykie5200]

even then, a dermatologist isnt qualified to talk about makeup placement. only a makeup artist and possibly a plastic surgeon (even then a plastic surgeon is iffy.) but yeah youre right, doctors arent concerned with the artisry of makeup so why would i take advice from them.

[@anikasvellte]

But there are alot of sell out Dr. With health that actually are working for the Pharma industry. Sadly

[@phoenixfritzinger9185]

The only time I ever talked to a doctor about makeup was when I was getting my teeth cleaned and the dentist hygienist had this really impressive eyeliner wing that I just had to know how she did

[@dangela3039]

Right, he has no idea what he's talking about. Dr doesn't mean shit in makeup

[@nicholasbrown5896]

I think the biggest thing that frustrates me about that creator is the terrible lighting in every video, like sir we can barely see the makeup application period

[@corvidsRcool]

YES! I was looking to see if anyone pointed that out because it was so frustrating to me. Like half your face is in full light and the other is in shadow, my guy. I can't tell half of what you're trying to do.

I felt like he was trying to hide that hollow hack too because it looked like nothing. He just sorta glanced to the side then was like ok bye!

[@storyonpaigeone]

He relies HEAVILY on his technical vocabulary to make it sound like he knows what he’s doing. People just scrolling will assume that he’s incredibly knowledgeable about makeup based off of his use of anatomically correct names 🙄

[@lovable_punk]

Yes! IMO He’s throwing terms like a plastic surgeon. Ppl are tempted to see becoz they think it’llbe some sort of contouring & highlighting breakthrough, but it’s not.

If makeup worked like filler we would never need fillers! Thank goodness dermatologists don’t do makeup 😂😂

Agree, this seems like a great case of "stay in your lane" 😄

[@magical571]

@@ChrystalVanDusseldorp yes, super badly 🤣he knows nothing about light, shadows, value, tones, etc. if he were old and ugly i bet he wouldn't have views lol, cause his tips are awful, and he has such an authority complex. the only appeal i can see is to people with a bias against makeup as an artform with tons of standouts among it's many years, and that want to feel "objective" about it in the most shallow of ways lol (hence his "nerds" jokes, "guys you are smart cause i said neuroscience" lol). almost as if the big bang theory tried to do makeup (oof that's even more cringe and heteronormative to imagine than the show itself)

[@femininityfaith7920]

People would still do it. They sell butt and hip pads but people still butcher and chop their bodies up. They want a permanent effect, instead of temporarily, having to wear butt pads, or contour everyday to keep it up etc..... I'm supposing.

[@felinemoonchild]

This guy has always rubbed me the wrong way. "I help keep you healthy and beautiful" like maybe it's because I'm 40 now but I don't want to be beautiful all the time. Let me be a swamp witch. It's okay to not be beautiful.

[@michelleramos6497]

[@nollypolly]

[@LL-zb3dl]

I find this so odd - just because someone works with the face, doesn't mean they know make up. Make up is a completely different form to fillers. That's like saying someone who is a sushi chef is an expert in baking, because they both work in the kitchen. Sure if they also trained and worked in baking, but otherwise that's not a source I'd go to for expertise. I'll stick to my Robert Welsh techniques thank you!

[@quirkygoth]

My problem with this is we tend to do our make up that's best for our own faces, what he says to do won't work for everyone.

[@melissaselenebeauty]

It seems a bit pretentious for him to discuss makeup like everyone's been doing it wrong, but makeup artists have known how to contour and highlight for years and years.

[@RobertWelsh]

So true!

[@annadickens9245]

Yes!! I know this is probably going to sound mean but I really feel like he should stay in his own lane. I mean, doesn't he have enough things to talk about in his actual profession that he, maybe, knows what he's talking about. Just bc Robert is the ultimate all time best make up artist in the entire universe and knows all about face shape, structure, etc you don't see him trying to go teach how to do filler, Botox,etc. 🙄sheesh...

[@user-xv1cs9mm9d]

Right im annoyed with him lol

[@mahogara]

Totally. I can't stand the way he presented himself. He has this air of he is so much better / knows more than everyone else because there is a DR tagged in front of his name.

[@nope66755]

He’s really unlikeable..

[@StackRabbit]

He really in the broad light of day said noticing contour is neuroscience. How you gonna fight neuroscience Robert lmao

[@deniece0821]

I'm a nurse. Arguing with doctors is part of my pay scale.😂😂😂👩🏻‍⚕️🩺⚕️🚑 I *completely* agree with Robert on the mouth highlighting. I'm 54 and trust me, if you do what this doctor is suggesting, it's just going to make the mouth area look even more saggy/aged. This is why Robert is my *FAVORITE* pro mua. He doesn't *exclude* or alienate us older girls. 😉I have been following him for a good couple years now. My makeup application technique has improved enormously and I honestly have to say watching his tutorials is the main reason why! 💞

[@pattiepepper6217]

LOVE how you brought in the STAGE makeup artists' expertise as well!!! Bravo to all of you artists and years of tried and true experience!!!!

[@RobertWelsh]

Thank you so so much! 🖤

[@alexstefanks8252]

Every side by side he does, the "good side" is the one getting the most light from the window. But when he does his full face with his technique he's facing the window fully. Even if his techniques were good, that skews the results so much!

[@susanjeffries5108]

💯 agree! I thought the same thing in every video Robert showed. Also couldn't stand how he kept calling it "his" technique. As if makeup artists don't already know all of that but this guy is saying it's HIS. He knows a lot more about the face than I do, but I don't want him explaining makeup to me. We already have Robert! 💜

[@alexstefanks8252]

@@susanjeffries5108 fr! Total agree. Also felt a bit weird that he kept saying zygomatic arch instead of cheekbone 😭

[@DANZ2DAY]

I’m a portrait artist. There are some valuable principles of light and form that makeup artists use. That knowledge, properly used with anatomy, can be useful. But ultimately it’s the artistry that means the most in makeup.

[@ShreeNation]

Exactly. I'm a sketch artist and understanding light and perspective took so long for me to finally see how it shapes things. When it comes to makeup its even more work to understand products, color theory, face shapes and skin types.

[@Ryanneey]

Agreed! Think leonardo da vinci anatomy drawings 😊

[@Takapon218]

Oh dude my portrait art improved like 100x when I started watching makeup videos. My sister and I got super into makeup and I was like "hang on...... I bet that would work in my drawings."

I do visual art for 24 years and 11 for mua and I use so much traditional art in makeup but not like this 😭

[@albuszx]

My favourite thing is watching Robert physically hold his mouth closed when the doctor is spewing BS. Tiny expression changes while keeping a generally blank face: ART

[@amishbeetroot4989]

As a makeup and science lover and a hater by nature it was very satisfying watching you debunk every bit of misinformation. Anatomy and science can inform our makeup techniques but at the end of the day, manipulating light and shadow with colour is artistry which is not his area of expertise.

[@danielleyoder5226]

YAAAASSSSS 👏👏👏👏👏 I'm a makeup junkie, was a biology and chemistry major at university, and a total Mean Girl! I was so satisfied seeing Robert pick apart Dr. Doesn't Know It All!!!

[@lucamp1]

omg same lol mean STEM girls unite! 💋💅🏻

[@mahogara]

He is behaving as if existing Contouring and Highlighting technique isn't already making use of Science - manipulating light, shadow and reflection as well as a person bone structures. He isn't inventing any new science based techniques; he is just wrongly applying his knowledge into something that seem similar but totally different (altering one's facial appearance - one: Semi-permanently with invasive means ; the other: Temporarily with a layer of paints on top).

[@ooookkkkkkkkkkk]

Hater by nature 💜

[@LiLByA22]

Because of his bad lighting, one side of the face had more light, while the other had more shadow, then he put the makeup on and went: can you see the difference? No sir I cannot 😭 At least fully face the window so we can see it in natural light. I get what he was trying to do, but glad you explained it, more stuff learned from this 🥰 Thank you! ❤️

[@melisegerber1350]

I am a woman in my late 50s who never learned to wear makeup. I have been watching you and other makeup KZbinrs for about a year, trying to learn to apply it more effectively. The algorithm popped this guy’s video up on my Shorts feed; and I ended up watching one of his videos. When it ended, I thought “I think that guy is doing it wrong it didn’t look the way I think he wanted it to look.” I guess I really have learned a lot over the past year!

[@jennifermeneley4278]

The Science of makeup is LIGHT……. Preach🙌

[@RobertWelsh]

🖤🖤🖤

[@JasminMiettunen]

Light and color theory!

[@blue_lynch]

in a way, this reminded me my class in college (i did graphic design) and something we learn is that not always the "mathematic correct" is the VISUAL correct, like, when you have the letter X you would think is simply 2 lines crossing each other, when in reality, one of the lines is slightly twitched up or down to really "look" centered. with makeup is the same, "mathematically" correct doesn't account for our actual perception of things, so even if it makes sense that if you want an area to look fuller you have to put something bright there, our perception will compensate for that and sometimes make other area more hollow/darker and get a odd look overall

[@ParticularlyChar]

I don’t think I would trust a doctor who doesn’t know their limitations. If he’s delulu about his makeup and colour theory skills I would worry that he’d give a procedure a “go” rather than admitting he doesn’t know how to do it 😂

[@heatherduke7703]

He sounds super pretentious. Throwing out random anatomical terms to make himself sound smart (unsuccessfully). I wonder if he’s truly a doctor. If he is, I weep for the medical profession 😬

This is like if I said because I'm a makeup artist, & paint people's faces, I can paint realistic portraits on a canvas b/c a "face is a face." Just cause you're an expert in one & they may share similarities, doesn't mean all the same techniques translate interchangeably

At 68 i've had over 50 years of playing with make-up to suit me best. I admit that a lot of my influence has been from stage make-up (back in the 60's &70s it was very heavy and exagerated, but easinly modified to adapt for day to day wear) so i look at things like this, and various tutorials and if it makes sense, i might try it. Interestingly, watching drag make-up (yes i know its outrageously dramatic) has given me some of the best tips and ideas.

[@MrRacheljamesiom]

[@magical571]

thought the same lol. that type of as*hole doctor stereotype still exists plenty, have it in my own family even.

[@handsoaphandsoap]

Claiming this as “science of makeup” is an immediate red flag to me as the base of his advice is based on a falsehood. Makeup is an art form not a science, hence why we use the terms makeup artistry and makeup artists, not makeup science and makeup scientists. Makeup artistry uses theory derived from painting and sculpting, not medicine or physics or whatever. The science part of makeup is just the actual chemistry surrounding the creation of the products themselves. When it comes to the application part of the process, you’ve now ventured into the field of art.

[@sheluvssmokedupeyes1]

Do you know a lot of doctors on TikTok? I really don’t trust especially when it comes to the use of natural products. I cannot use chemical products on my face which I can’t use like man-made chemicals, so I used a lot of natural products on my face. I can use some things but not everything so you know when I see a doctor go all this natural product doesn’t work. This causes this and that causes that and there’s no scientific evidence. I feel like if people have been using it for 1000 years then you know, it’s probably still good and still works but what it is is a lot of these doctors get kickbacks for recommending prescriptions. Some of them even get upwards to $25-$50,000 in kickbacks their doctors offices will have incentives like vacations, yacht cruises trips to the opera museums, and these are given to them by the pharmaceutical companies, based on how many products or how much drugs they sell to people so when I see a dermatologist, a doctor, recommending certain things I don’t trust it

[@isawave9535]

What do you mean you can't use chemical products on your face? Literally everything to that surrounds us and makes us is chemicals, just get an allergy test done so you know specifically what to avoid, cause you're not gonna be able to avoid chemicals.

[@iCanbEYOURrUKIA]

[@polinatalmeltzer450]

OMG, thank you, Robert!! I’ve been thinking about all this since I’ve seen his “scientific makeup”! I don’t argue, that he’s a great M.D., but doing fillers and plastic surgery is physically altering the face structure, when makeup is working with what you have using the art of it. That’s why painted white lines do not physically pull the mouth up, that’s why the dull blotches on your face will not sink your cheeks in 😂. Those are totally different things! 🎉

[@pinkbunny6272]

This doctor knows anatomy very well, but his makeup is a bit of a encroaching on going viral for the views. It's not really good makeup, it's just a demonstration of his knowledge of a face.

I always appreciate Robert’s insights. All of the doctor influencers gain so much traction just from them being a “doctor”, but I don’t think it always translates to makeup. Not belittling their knowledge, but it isn’t makeup knowledge.

I wonder if this doctor ever consulted a make up artist or just a regular artist for advice before doing... all that 👁👄👁

[@xamyx725]

It seems like he stumbled upon an old edition of Richard Corson’s “Stage Makeup” book 😂 He’s not necessarily “wrong”, per se, but what he was demonstrating were techniques I learned as a theatre student some 30+ years ago, but even then we were taught to still use the book as a guide, and to tweak for our own needs. It was also designed for the stage, which is not going to translate the same in real life…

[@ShreeNation]

Thank you Robert! This Dermatologist doesn’t have an artist’s eye. He doesn’t even seem to notice that his comparisons do not yield his expected results. Great job explaining and demonstrating this flaw in the filler placement contour concept. You saved hundreds of thousands of people from using these erroneous dermatology makeup tips. -I think it is this dermatologist’s arrogance and belief that he knows more than a makeup artist is what prevented him from asking one for their expertise before putting out videos based on flawed concepts! ❤

[@titeveggvutnm1883]

For years I've put a light pink eye-brightener by the orbital bone(bottom), for my hollows. It was better than just putting concealer on the entirety of the under eye. But, it's true that it can actually make the area look much worse if it's not done absolutely perfectly (as in making sure not to bring the colour above the ridge of the hollow). Your technique is much easier and actually more effective. Thank you!

[@caitlinwhatthefrick2361]

Insane that all his “methods” were doing the exact opposite of the intended effect! 🤯 literally your lip appeared to be dropping after you did what he suggested, and your eyes appeared to be so much more hollow than they actually were when you did it his way. Thank you for your endless knowledge 😌☺️✨✨✨✨✨

[@Takapon218]

The thing I hate about him is that he's like... conventionally very cute. So he can kinda get away with saying complete nonsense because even if he messes the makeup up on himself, he still looks cute. So it makes it seem like his techniques work 😭 Like most of what he says and does is completely wrong but his baseline is so high it doesn't make him look too bad. If someone like me did it I would look insane. Also Robert your tiny powder puff at like 14:30 is SO cute. It's cracking me UP.

Makeup is science AND art. There's a place for just measurements, abstract ideals, etc, but artistic sensibility and technique cannot be excluded from the equation. By the way, he probably does have those things when it comes to the art of filling faces, but he's basically trying to do painting with the techniques of a sculptor. It can be interesting getting some perspective from someone from another field, but still, it's not the same.

Even as I watched the doctor explain his “theories” and supposed corrections I’m yelling “NO IT DOESN’T “or “THAT”S NOT RIGHT”. I guess I’ve been watching too many Robert Welsh videos to believe everything I see and hear. You are the BEST. ❤

I just can't get past his lighting, one side always looks over exposed and it's hard to see anything, and the other side is all in shadows.....

[@RobertWelsh]

I knooooow 😂

[@Beeleeteecee]

Just goes to show that we can be respectful of doctors’ knowledge without giving them our blind trust. Our own instincts and experiences are valuable too!

For dealing with depression in SOOF, Dr Charles' theory is correct but his technique is less controlled. I like using what Wayne Goss showed in his video.

[@puredemon5926]

Yeah I feel like his advice for makeup is good when you're doing surgery on a client, but not for everyday makeup wearers. There _is_ a difference.

[@kilahb3742]

It honestly felt like he was using the scientific names for the different parts of the face as a way to be like more of an authority on what he was saying, even though it looked wrong. Like, 'oh I know (and am using) the correct terms, so you should definitely trust me!'. It made me tune out because it made me feel dumb for not knowing the terms and like I was being talked at and not to.

[@SuperMathsBeaver]

It felt a bit...off? I'm not sure how to put it but most people who are knowledgeable in their fields are able to cater their conversations to who they're speaking with. You'd think he'd use less medical jargon (or at least explain it) because his core audience on TikTok aren't likely familiar with anatomy - which as a doctor he should have ample experience with. Maybe he's just a bad teacher.

One thing I noticed was the doctor had uneven lighting, one side of his face was shadowed versus the other side which seemed like it had natural light, which would also manipulate (if you will) the effects he was trying to portray. For example, the darker side of his face was the side where he was like "this is a no go" and then the side that had more light or natural light was the "do this" side which will also alter how people view his tips and make it seem more credible. Whereas the amazing Robert has beautiful lighting to show us exactly how these methods would really look on an even lighting scale.

This is great! You’re so intelligent and well versed in your field. Thank you for setting this guy right.

[@wendyd1229]

Robert I am sooo glad I watch your videos for makeup techniques! My dermatologist would tell me sunscreen only and discourage all makeup 🩷

[@efraysur]

I love whenever you put videos out. Always so informative and fun.

[@jessicamarsh9779]

I think this doctor means well, I think he’s genuinely trying to help people sculpt their face. Lol but he just reminds me of those doctors who are “Well I’m a doctor & I know more”, like a doctor who thinks bc he’s a doctor he’s so smart & doesn’t comprehend what that being a doctor doesn’t mean he’s a makeup pro master 😂. Like yes his job is the face but it’s the inside of the face, bone structure & fillers. Not the exterior face with shade colors. Almost like an architect, he designs the buildings but doesn’t fully understand how to build the buildings like a contractor does. Yes they are similar, yes they know the basics but doesn’t have the skills to actually build it themselves.

[@anywayscolette]

thank you!

[@cmh9932]

God damn Robert!!! Serving up perfection today!!! The shirt the makeup the glossy lips❤ 😍

[@FeelTheRainOnYourSkin]

Omg wow. I'm obsessed with your critique followed by education! I would absolutely take a class from you. Also something that BUGS ME so much is the drs lighting is ALWAYS uneven and he doesn't show the effect long enough. "See how it's better!" No sir! The lighting is bad and you don't stop moving! Anyway. Great work!

[@Lalilola1000]

oh my god, this doctor triggers my misophonia so bad !! I almost couldn't bare with the sound. Why doesn't he level out/balance his sounds? they are so sharp I couldn't follow what he was trying to say. It was such a relief when he was done talking and Robert, your voice is velvet smooth in comparison!

[@LTSmash414]

Omg what is this man ON ABOUT? "we're gonna use neurology to do your makeup. Your brain is how you see colour and we're using colour." Babe.

[@SAce-fo7pg]

This might save lives, so listen carefully….before allowing any procedure,first ask the doctor or nurse “are you on TikTok?” 😂

[@kristalharrison5757]

Love the..,,. Errrrr giggles I don’t mean to be argumentative 😂 🖤

[@Lovisa116]

As a fellow doctor, it annoys me to no end how he uses the latin anatomical terms for all the landmarks regardless of whether they have a perfectly fine well-known name in English. Yes, maybe the zygomatic bone can be helpful to explain... but ala? It's the wing of your nose. Tiktok doctors really profit of this thing of trying to seem smarter just because they are doctors. He's not out here inventing any kind of wheel.

[@herboilingpoint]

The S.O.B. Thing makes him seem like a troll 😂
