You trying dream matte mousse is my favorite thing on this channel. You looked so confused and frightened when you mustered up the courage to say out loud that you like it. As if the make up gastapo was going to sweep in and take all your brushes away if you said it too loud.

[@RobertWelsh]

I have nightmares about it from hs. I tried it once and my face and body were two completely different colors lmao.

Not the brushes 😭

[@bearscarebeauty]

So here's the thing that no one ever talks about with the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. They were using their hands to scoup up a ping pong ball sized glob and rubbing it in, THEN setting it with a matte powder foundation using the sponge it came with and mashing and dragging it into the skin.

[@Marymackthequeenofwack]

How dare you personally attack me 🤣🤣..that was me to a "T"

[@theGirlMachine666]

That sounds just about right

[@laurenskee2665]

It always looked good for the first two hours and looked like dog shit half way through the day lol

[@Kinxxxy13]

Lool! I used to use one of those triangle makeup sponges to apply it and then cover my face with shitloads of Rimmel transparent matte pressed powder using a filthy kabuki brush that would leave bristles all over my face. The pressed powder would ALWAYS be completely broken as I would take it to school with me so it was forever being launched around in my school bag. Also at lunch time, I'd apply a new layer of foundation and then a new layer of powder on top of that 🤦🏾‍♀️.

[@fattychoccie]

@Kinxxxy13 this sounds just like me 😆 especially after PE when id be sweaty - out would come my never-been-washed kabuki and a new layer of powder 🙈

[@itstalhax3649]

I think applying eye cream over concealer will go terribly wrong for many people. I was surprised she doesn't mention anything about water bases or oil bases and how one can break up another or make it look coagulated. For this to work the formula of both the concealer and the eye cream/moisturiser matters the most.

[@MandyDeadite]

I think if they came out with more shades for dream matte mousse it would have a resurgence and people would love it.

[@jazwhoaskedforthis]

That would be a really smart business move. Like insanely pale to super rich- people would try it for the shade range and also to retry an old notorious flop and maybe love it

So the dream matte mouse, yes absolutely I wore that everyday in high school. What I remember most is that the texture would be great the first few uses, but because we all used our fingers for everything, it would lose the fluffy mouse texture and get soooooo dirty!

[@Selene_Rosara]

It would get extremely disgusting after a few uses. It never occurred to any of us to scoop some out and use it that way lol. 🖤

[@wandering6252]

also back in the day we didnt have beauty blenders. we had those aweful wedge sponges and makeup brushes so scratchy im convinced its why my skin is so scarred to this day 😂 but also as someone, who even im 2022 struggles to find a foundation light enough, there was no way their shade range was inclusive enough. both on the light and dark end of the spectrum.

[@khills]

If you’re like me and are all “but there are LOTS of places on my cheeks where I can poke through and “touch” my teeth, I am pretty sure she means the first spot right as you slide along your jaw from your ear-if you’re at all like me, poking in that spot actually hurts a little bit (you’re pushing on a nerve).

[@SlothDaan]

@@khills I thought she ment the spot behind your teeth. The little gap at the back?

[@khills]

@@SlothDaan My understanding is you slide along your closed jaw til your finger dips in - not everyone has the anatomical gap you’re talking about. It might very well line up in that spot for some people! For me, tho, it’s roughly in line with my molars. If I go back further than that, I’m on jawbone. I could very well be wrong tho!

The second 'hack' totally makes sense. I can't tell you how many times over the years I've experienced a completely different look than the MUAs offering similar tips. Whether it be for blush or highlighter or whatever. *This* is unique in that it's a universal technique, but applies to each who tries with similar results suitable to them.

I would love to see a video showing the same makeup look done over & over, each subtracting one of the products. So in one video the contour would be missing. In another video the blush would be missing but the contour would still be there. Highlight in one, bronzer, eyeliner, eyelash curler etc. to show how each product actually changes the look.

[@highcontrasthughes1923]

[@DBeautybykat]

It’s ok to like an “unpopular” brand or cosmetic product. There’s no shame in it, simply personal preference. Being a content creator myself, I try to show all sides of beauty & products. Not only the products that everyone raves about but ALSO the quiet hidden gems that don’t get to shine as bright 🥰 I wish I could convince more people to be themselves on social media instead of only following trends. It’s only trend when you choose to put value in it. Thanks Robert for always staying true to you 💯

The Dream Matte Mouse was my holy grail in high school. I had a perfect match. And in high school I didn’t have a single blemish and my skin was always just right in regards to hydration. But I loved this product man. A little went a long way, people may have liked it more if we had beauty blenders back then. I would do small dots and it would spread and blend so well. I honestly didn’t think they even still sold them anymore. But I’m in opinion, if they had more shades and instructions to not get goops of it and throw it on the face, I think this would be a much more popular foundation. The lightness feeling alone is amazing.

[@alexisstrother]

Robert! Stop apologizing for looking “so tired” today. You, in fact, look beautifully human. Love you.

[@susanagracia7941]

You are right! I even want a tutorial of the "looking tired" look!!

[@Stephanie_Vincent]

I was in my early teens when dream mousse came out. The reason it got the bad rep is because back then we applied foundation with our fingers, now with beauty blenders it works well. The fact that we have primers now helps, too.

Robert, I don't think you look tired. You look gorgeous with great skin, as always. But if you think you look tired, be sure to check in with yourself and consider if you've been putting in more work hours (or even hours doing fun stuff!) than usual. It can be something that you might not notice until you really reflect on it. And if you're feeling exhausted, please know you can always take a few days off! We love you and we aren't going anywhere. I think it's super important for content creators to know they can, and should, take breaks. Especially now a days when it seems like uploading on just one platform isn't enough anymore. I don't doubt it can be *a lot* ... ❤❤ Take care

I’ll be 33 in May and I was obsessed with the dream matte mouse foundation in high school. I didn’t have perfect skin but I was always more on the side of oily rather than dry so I think it just worked with my skin type. However, I paired it with silver eyeshadow and white eyeliner, and pencil thin eyebrows lmao. And I know the color was off a bit. Oh, the more you know. 😂

[@patriciazernone-wood5423]

The very first one with the the concealer technique with the eye cream, I wonder if that would be a great technique for those of us that are of older age who are starting to get the crow's feet and the little creasing under the tear area of our eye to prevent any settling that occurs when we do use concealer there. I want to try this just to find that out because my concealer tends to settle in those areas often so I want to see if adding the eye cream will actually help with that settling at all. Oh I get to do my own test I'm so excited

[@KattMurr]

I'm curious too! I keep trying techniques I come across on KZbin to hopefully find one that works well for my "mature" eyes...lol...

[@smallbeginning2]

Oh it does. I tap Nivea soft gently over mine and it works a treat.

[@elizabetherne556]

Mature eyes here. I a lot of the time just skip undereye concealer. Just foundation. It tends to work better for me. Plus, no powder under the eyes.

Your points about dream matte mousse make so much sense!! When it was at its peak and I was in high school, we also weren't really using brushes or sponges, just smearing it on with your hands, which definitely didn't help. Idk about y'all but I also definitely way over powdering too with a too pink powder so a poorly blended, matte foundation, applied over dried out, poorly taken care of skin, covered in chalky setting powder... recipe for disaster!!
