Its like the goal is to look like a plastic barbie or an airbrushed photo. No body hair, no freckles, no expression lines, no pores, no scars. It's literally trying to be a human while not looking like one!

I learned how to properly clean paint brushes when I was in art school, and I translated it into how I treat my makeup tools. It has really increased the longevity of my brushes. I have some that are 20 year's old and look brand new. It's a pain to clean but worth it in the long run ❤
Why have I never connected this? My kids all enjoy painting, so I’m always washing paint brushes. I take better care of their paint brushes, than my makeup brushes 😳
Secret, I probably shouldn't admit, but a few of my brushes migrated from my art to makeup collection. A few were super tiny, bent or angled and were perfect for eye work.

@@icymads7940 where her under-eye “dent”, crease or hollow whatever started at its deepest is where she should’ve applied the dot (which, as you said, should’ve been a larger amount than what she did.)
Right? I thought that too, I mean if you are going to cover the 'dark circle' then put the damn product exactly there, let it sit a bit (so it warms up and gets thicker in texture & activates colour so you won't even need more product!) and then blend, like she even got surprised why it didn't do much - well cos you mindlessly just put dots on random spots and not on the actual area you "wanted" to cover!🤦🏻♀️I believe you still can cover it up without loads of concealer and cake there with just 2 strategically placed dots....🤦🏻♀️
Watching that person fully SUBMERGE their brushes then stand them upright while still wet sent my OCD into overdrive, I almost had to take an extra pill 💀😭
Wow, I usually don't understand people who think you and James are totally identical, as I've always seen a pretty big difference in your faces, but when you did the segment with no makeup and normal lighting I can really see the similarity come out. Just goes to show what makeup can do to change the structure of the face.
Yes! When he came up at the end on TikTok I was super confused because I was like why is he having James demonstrate the powder thing but then I saw the scar so I was like no that's definitely Robert >_> most of the time I can tell them apart but every once in a while I will see a picture from a certain angle or like when Robert isn't wearing makeup where I second guess myself because their twin-ness really comes through.
That reminds me of a brush review where someone complained that on first wash the varnish came off and how they were shocked to find out they weren't made of plastic, but wood... I am almost sure she soaked them, which is not good for brushes. You don't really want to soak the whole thing... Also pretty sure brushes made from wood are higher quality than plastic.
Instead of scraping off the hardened areas on powder, you can press scotch tape on top of the powder. The tape will gently lift off the ruined hard areas. It works on eye shadows, too.
I've known about this technique for many years, but have never gotten it to work for me, alas. Tape just doesn't lift off anything from my (luckily few) hard pans.
The way I wash my brushes (mostly Aliexpress sets so nothing with a certain pedigree) is that I wet the hairs, swirl them around on a bar of handsoap, then swirl them around in my cupped, wet hand, rinse. It's fast and efficient and I've yet to have a casualty.
Don't know y it is considered to be so boring. I do the same and I have maybe 12 brushes, so not many as a pro but seems to me the more you get the more you're gonna mishandle them (not cleaning them often or in a not useful way).
@@claro_ve6760 I don't find it boring either, I just need to be in the right mood to do it. I have a lot because I'm a brush hoarder lol, and even then it doesn't take me more than 20 minutes for my entire collection of brushes
@@claro_ve6760 It's rather tedious work. Some people find that kind of task with repetitive, easy motions to be relaxing, but plenty find it boring - myself included. Tip for those like me: try putting on some music, or a movie/show that you've already seen. Should be stuff that you won't need to pay much attention to, but that can serve as a distraction. It'll make it much easier
When I cleaned my brushes by swirling them on a soap bar, I would use a box cutter or scissors and cut a pattern on the bar (diamond pattern or just straight across lines) that way as I swirled it would get clean on the grooves.
as a watercolor artist, seeing that person completely submerge their makeup brushes made me 🥴🥴 getting the ferrule (metal bit) get really wet and letting it stay wet, can cause the wood underneath to get nasty and can destroy the adhesive keeping it all together. I just wished that part and omfg he explained it and oh that makes me happy.
I got a fenty concealer in one of my beauty boxes and the undertone is a tad too dark red/orange for me, so. I use it as a "corrector" the way your concealer technique works. I saw Jackie Aina do it and ever since, my concealer always looks flawless even after setting with translucent powder and setting spray 💫
I plan on going back to college next year to do a beauty course and I'd like to say thank you Robert, you've been a large part in boosting my confidence to go and finally do it 🥰🥰🥰
I’m so glad you showed what actually will happen if you get your powders wet!! People are just ruining their products and recommending other people do it too??? 😭
I ALWAYS wash my brushes with Dawn soap. Nothing breaks down the foundation like Dawn. I’ve been doing it for years and my brushes are still in tip top shape. Everything else about the video was a train wreck. An easy way to dry your brushes is to hang them upside down from a clothes hanger using tiny rubber bands. Mine are always dry by the next morning!
I thought dawn was good until I used a solvent remover. The crud that came out after was incredible. I used to use Cinema Secrets but now I use Parian Spirit bc it's easier to find. Both are great. You don't need a lot either and it dries within minutes
For the foundation pilling video, I learned that it was the foundation not working with my skin. So I've had to learn through trial and error what foundation works and what doesn't. Also, it can happen if your foundation is expired.
What kind of foundation did you find works best for you? Ive tried liquid, cream, powder. is it a brand thing? My face always ends up looking like that and I have tried so many things to fix it, I'm out of ideas.
@@heathermartini1373 I've started using the flower beauty foundation that works best or the purlisse cc skin tint works best for my skin and I use a small beauty blender when I put foundation or skin tint on. I also use an Elf hydrating primer because I have dry skin and that also seems to help with the pilling as well. I hope one of these help!
Happens to me with a lot of concealers.... Some of them very highly rated ones that simply don't work for me. I have very dry skin and do use a very intensive moisturiser before makeup and usually used tinted moisturiser rather than foundation as very few foundations don't dry out on me.
@@deesnoek1011 I've started using the trestique concealer on my dry skin that I also have to moisturize heavily. And it hasn't creased on me or anything yet.
I dermaplan regularly. It doesn't grow back thicker or darker and makes it heavenly to apply & let the skin absorb spf. And even make up, it goes on differently. Really recommend!
@@yvettebasson1243 you could also just try it once and never do it again if you don't like it because, again, it won't change the way your hair grows so you definitely have room for changing your mind
May I ask…I’ve been wanting to try. Even bought a razor. But don’t know where to start? Do you just start with a clean damp face? Or dry face? Put an oil on or moisturizer first? Or nothing?
Robert! I am a total beginner at makeup. Yesterday, I went to Sephora and not one, but TWO of the employees complimented my makeup. They especially loved my eyebrows. It is all thanks to you. You are awesome!!!
My eyeshadows used to get that smooth layer after a while of using them, and then l tried this hack where you take a piece of scotch tape and put it on the shadow and it lifts the layer up and your product is as good as new.
I've been addicted to makeup since I was five. Started watching James and now I'm addicted to skincare. I'm 42 and I see amazing results. Yes for work makeup but for the most part I don't wear makeup much. So thanks to the twins for James getting my skin on point and Robert has taught me that I was doing my makeup correct. I could never feel comfortable in RUclips makeup.
We're the same age and I had to figure it out by myself. I couldn't ever figure out the correct shade of foundation so I have so many pics when I was younger with a line or an obvious shade that didn't match. YT would have been so useful back then lol! But now I have learned so much! The best thing that improved my makeup was dermaplaning, skin care, knowing my undertone.
I do have really dark circles. But I also have dry skin and I'm not 12. That much concealer on me would turn my undereyes into a desert. For me a dot in the corners of the eye and a dot in the middle a bit lower (kinda where my dark circle ends) is more than enough
Yes! I have pretty dark genetic circles, and I find that two small dots on the inner half and one miniscule dot on the outer corner is usually enough. I may add a tiny fourth dot in the middle if I'm having a rough day, but I always try to avoid bringing it up to the lash line. I used to, but found that the added dimension/shadow really helps make me look less made up, which is exactly what I want.
Im a licensed dermatologist and her foundation sits on her skin because she is dry from the inside! She needs basic skin vitamins like a,b,c,d,e twice a day everyday with 12 oz of water each time. In 2 weeks it will completely fix itself!! Type and condition are major factors that determine how your skin looks. I use vitamins and tons of water and use daily microfoliant once a day with a rich lotion and can go days without washing my face (i have kidney/ liver failure) when im sick and have no break outs or flakes. The first step is the basil layer where all skin keratin is made. Giving your body energy for skin cells increases collagen and elastin that keeps skin tight,soft,bouncy.
I recently bought a brush soap cleaner from Shop Miss A as they opened a store in my local mall. Y'all that soap cleaned off some of my worst stained brushes. It made it so much faster to wash my brushes. I personally got the mango scent haha.
For the holidays, we need a marathon of Robert Gets Annoyed with TikTok, and he and James supplementing it with 5 minute craft goodies every few videos.
I haven’t worn make up in over 10 yrs. But, I’m still obsessed with it. And by watching Roberts videos. I’ve learned that I had been putting makeup on the wrong way for years.
I follow someone on Instagram who crushed up a bronzer and mixed it with her setting spray to make a fake freckle spray that looked more random and pretty natural. I don't know which setting spray though, it was one wih a very fine mister
I wash my brushes with Dawn in the sink as well. But I don’t dry them standing up or in the dryer. I just let them air dry on a towel after I rinse them. I’m no makeup guru by any means, but it seems logical to not place them in a clothing dryer 😬
Jeniffer, I ruined a few brushes by sinking them completely under the water. The glue wears out quickly if you do that and also they need to be dried horizontally not vertically so the water would not touch the glue that holds the bristles and the handle :)
@@Verbsdescribeus Exactly. Best method is to use bar soap. Wet your brush, swipe them a few times on bar soap, then scrub on those textured cleaning pads (actually, even just the back of your hands works, though it'll take longer), then rinse under running water while still scrubbing. Repeat if necessary. Could use liquid soap as well, but bar soap is cheaper while being just as effective. And I also air dry on a towel, but I stand them up instead of letting them lay flat. Above all, don't let any liquid go into the barrel, and your brushes will last so much longer
Hi Robert, I have struggled to find a foundation routine for my mature skin. These are the changes that finally worked.... use a hydrating primer, then a pore filling one (Elf Poreless Putty), I then used a small amount of concealer to correct under the eyes and cover spots. I then mix a bit of a more dewy foundation into a matte one, and apply a very small amount- I use a brush to "pat" it into the skin, then go over it lightly with a sponge. I only use the tiniest amount of powder just under the eyes (I like the Hourglass Translucent Veil powder.) Just thought I would share this for any people with mature skin, just in case something in this routine might help someone!🖤🖤🖤
May I ask why you mix matte and dewy foundations? Wouldn't just a dewy one be enough, with powder on top to dull the shine? Or a satin finish one if you're looking for an in-between finish?
When you went over the foundation video and the possible texture issues, omg. I get that constantly and now I have a list of things to pursue! 2 stood out as HIGHLY possible issues, but it was amazing of how you broke it down and explained each possibility. Thank you, you lovely being ❤️❤️❤️
I never knew why my eyeshadows got those hard bits I thought it was just from them getting old! Thank you for always teaching me new things even years into me watching you
Robert I love this shirt on you!!! Thank you for making my day. You are a true joy!!! I can’t wait to see each video you put out. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Have a good day…. Big Hugs from Texas!
I have been away from social media and RUclips for a while (confession time BUT that absolutely does NOT mean that I'd ever lose interest in my dear Welsh brothers. I have just needed some social media break), so... Today while I was binge-watching Robert, James & Marcus, my hubby commented: "Hmmm, you haven't watched them for a while". My hubby, who absolutely has no idea about anything related to make-up and beauty. Except for the holy trinity of Welsh brothers! This is how much you are loved and appreciated at our house ❤❤❤❤❤!!!
@@bratshats It was really relieving to take some break, but I felt guilty that it also affected my weekly dose of Welsh brothers 🥺 I love their energy so much❤
@@ezgio.6929 Understandable! I gave myself limits, and even with youtube, an hour a day at most. I find it nice to be in control of myself, instead of getting lost in everything but my own life. Better to work on the problems than try to escape. Sorry, rambly today. But it's nice to hear from someoe else who has benefitted from a social media break. Did you accomplish a lot? I ended up getting so much done during the break.
Amazing as always man! I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past 4 days straight. I am an triplet and my brother Darren passed away but he and I loved makeup. He was a big fan of yours as well. Just wanted to let you know your videos are incredible and relaxing ❤️🌈💜
If you haven’t seen their channel you need to watch The Welsh Twins. They have a new one going up in less than an hr. You will legit laugh soooo hard. And it’s a 5 min crafts one so it’s gonna be hilarious!
I am so happy you talked about the darker concealer before lighter for people with actual dark circles! Lately in the morning I’ve been thinking about this (logically it always made sense to me). I’m definitely confident enough to attempt it now. Thank you!
brush cleaners that dissolve makeup without any water are game changing honestly. i use the cinema secrets one and cleaning my brushes takes me like half an hour with it instead of more than an hour of washing, rinsing and hanging them to dry.
When you switched over to the TikTok camera and without makeup, you really look alot more like James! I think maybe the way you do your makeup makes you look a bit different to him. Both are good, just up close like that it was like looking at James' face 👀 😁
😝 a lot of people say that! Considering James doesn’t wear makeup, and I always do on camera, people are always surprised how similar we look when I don’t wear any!
Those tips are amazing! I did realize i used a little too much of different primers and didn’t give it time to absorb and my makeup looked more cakier or just like it sat on top
the chaos of the brush cleaning was fantastic. also i recommend dermaplaning to anyone with peachfuzz, just make sure your skin and the blade are CLEAN and use a light hand. i have a lot of hair being latina and this has been the best way for me to deal with the hair on my face
I swear in your normal videos I don't think you look that much like James, but in that little clip you did with the phone for the tiktok powder thing I did a little double take thinking it might be him 😂 I feel like your studio setup is pure wizardry now
Omg I lost my shit when she threw those brushes in the sink! The whole brush under water! Then soaking them straight up and the FREAKING DRYER?! Omg sweet baby Jesus!
Yes please Robert. Sometimes my foundation goes on perfect, the other times is like it is in the video and I have to start over. Thank You In Advance Robert
I'm so glad you validated my skin care routine being different according to day, night, temporary sensitivity issues, pre-makeup. If I used the moisturizer and serums and this or that I use at night my makeup would slide off my face. I can't even imagine.
Just thought you should know under regular conditions through tiktok they add have a 2percent pre beauty filter if you wanted to know the difference. Thanks so much for adding that on your video! It explains why alot of muas that have gone viral stick to tiktock instead of breaching into whole youtube vids like you did. Much respect 🙏!
Yup, ruined one of my favorite eyeshadows by getting it wet. Had no idea it would end up like that. I'd always heard that wetting was just a way to get more pigment, so I dampened my brush before going into the pan. Completely ruined it.
James is such a big helper. Totally love these. The really nice woman on tik tok (no corrections) is what this world needs more of and of course you and James.
I use the same 8 to 10 brushes on "most" days. Everyday after I do my make up I wash a few brushes, typically 2. I alternate which 2 brushes I wash daily so during the week my daily brushes are always clean. This system takes less than a minute and has worked great!
When leaving my brushes to dry, I hang them upside down! I use regular rubber elastics and loop them around the handle to hang on a towel hook or the cupboard knob 👌🏼
Wow! When you did the tiktok filter and your fave was flipped you looked so much like James! That was crazy! I know you're twins, but you guys definitely have unique features, so that was trippy for a second 😆
The "how to make your foundation sit better" part is a LIFE SAVIOR! I always thought that i wouldn't look good in makeup anyway, and my skin had too many imperfections or bad texture which wouldn't allow me to look good... I'll try everything and "learn" about my skin, THANK YOU!!!!
I clean my brushes about once a month(I wear foundation maybe twice a month, so its usually a few face brushes and lots of eye brushes) and im so meticulous about them. Watching that TikTok literally hurt🤣🤣 I can't imagine treating my brushes so rough
Robert you have such a respectful way of commenting on the work of others. You always start with a compliment first. Then when you give your opinion, it is never degrading or mean to the other person. You're always respectful and educational. If only more people could be like this!
Make cleaning your brushes every night a thing. Like, do your face, put all your brushes in the bathroom next to your sink. When you go to take your makeup off at night, do your facial and clean your brushes in one go. Leave them to dry overnight. Then you'll never need to do big wash sessions and get bored and sore
I started to apply my concealer by taking a small flat concealer brush and taking it off the applicator from the tube and using the brush to conceal under my eyes. It distributes the product in a thinner layer and I end up using less and it covers pretty well. I let it sit for a bit and then buff it in. I don't need powder to set it since it dried down. Applying a matte setting spray to my brushes also helps with setting makeup (saw that tip from Jackie Aina)
I feel like with makeup application hacks like the concealer one, it’s like a game of telephone where the origin of the hack is deeply distorted by the time it’s viral because people aren’t actually listening to the source and they’re hearing how someone wrongly interpreted it on Tik Tok.
Robert!! I always get the hard bits off my powder by using tape (Like Scotch tape) it takes a while and you have to use a few pieces so it’s a bit tedious but you lose less product than if you were to scrape it off!
I love that your TikTok advice was just as relevant then as it is right now. Also, I hate cleaning my brushes as well. It’s a drag and difficult to do. But I can’t clean my brushes how she did. I don’t have the time or space to use a sink and Dawn. Also, I can’t afford to replace my brushes the way that will require. If it works for her, great. I’m glad she can clean her brushes reasonably. It’s just a) not recommended for the care of the product and b) it doesn’t work for me.
I love when actual MUAs test this stuff. Especially you Robert! You're so much fun and I love your open and inviting approach for makeup. You're never condescending and always speak kindly and help educate ❤❤❤❤
I so SO appreciate these types of videos from Robert!! I have a teenage daughter....who tries to keep up with all these "trending " videos on tik tok...I gotta keep myself educated on these things... Thank you Robert 💜
I like to use just a bar of soap for my foundation brushes - it always seems to dry on so grody. Works well for beauty blenders, too. Got a fucked up back so I'm not going to baby my $1 shop miss a brushes tbh XD

Instead of scraping off the hardened areas on powder, you can press scotch tape on top of the powder. The tape will gently lift off the ruined hard areas. It works on eye shadows, too.
I was coming to say this!
I've known about this technique for many years, but have never gotten it to work for me, alas. Tape just doesn't lift off anything from my (luckily few) hard pans.
The way I wash my brushes (mostly Aliexpress sets so nothing with a certain pedigree) is that I wet the hairs, swirl them around on a bar of handsoap, then swirl them around in my cupped, wet hand, rinse. It's fast and efficient and I've yet to have a casualty.
Don't know y it is considered to be so boring. I do the same and I have maybe 12 brushes, so not many as a pro but seems to me the more you get the more you're gonna mishandle them (not cleaning them often or in a not useful way).
@@claro_ve6760 I don't find it boring either, I just need to be in the right mood to do it. I have a lot because I'm a brush hoarder lol, and even then it doesn't take me more than 20 minutes for my entire collection of brushes
@@claro_ve6760 It's rather tedious work. Some people find that kind of task with repetitive, easy motions to be relaxing, but plenty find it boring - myself included. Tip for those like me: try putting on some music, or a movie/show that you've already seen. Should be stuff that you won't need to pay much attention to, but that can serve as a distraction. It'll make it much easier
@@raerohan4241 yeah I see your point. It's a nice tip to put on some music or watching a video.
When I cleaned my brushes by swirling them on a soap bar, I would use a box cutter or scissors and cut a pattern on the bar (diamond pattern or just straight across lines) that way as I swirled it would get clean on the grooves.
as a watercolor artist, seeing that person completely submerge their makeup brushes made me 🥴🥴 getting the ferrule (metal bit) get really wet and letting it stay wet, can cause the wood underneath to get nasty and can destroy the adhesive keeping it all together.
I just wished that part and omfg he explained it and oh that makes me happy.
I got a fenty concealer in one of my beauty boxes and the undertone is a tad too dark red/orange for me, so. I use it as a "corrector" the way your concealer technique works. I saw Jackie Aina do it and ever since, my concealer always looks flawless even after setting with translucent powder and setting spray 💫
It works so amazingly well! Jackie is such an incredible artist! 🖤
I do this too and my base looks so much better than using those colour correctors
I do this .. I’m 45 😅
I plan on going back to college next year to do a beauty course and I'd like to say thank you Robert, you've been a large part in boosting my confidence to go and finally do it 🥰🥰🥰
I hope you have a great time! 🤗
@@filippak502 thank you so much lovely 🥰
Good luck!!!
That’s amazing!!! I hope you love it!! 🖤🖤🖤
Good luck! Have fun!
I’m so glad you showed what actually will happen if you get your powders wet!! People are just ruining their products and recommending other people do it too??? 😭
I ALWAYS wash my brushes with Dawn soap. Nothing breaks down the foundation like Dawn. I’ve been doing it for years and my brushes are still in tip top shape. Everything else about the video was a train wreck. An easy way to dry your brushes is to hang them upside down from a clothes hanger using tiny rubber bands. Mine are always dry by the next morning!
I do the same. I find it takes of foundation way better than anything else.
I thought dawn was good until I used a solvent remover. The crud that came out after was incredible. I used to use Cinema Secrets but now I use Parian Spirit bc it's easier to find. Both are great. You don't need a lot either and it dries within minutes
"You can absolutely do whateva the fuck you want " I love Robert
For the foundation pilling video, I learned that it was the foundation not working with my skin. So I've had to learn through trial and error what foundation works and what doesn't. Also, it can happen if your foundation is expired.
What kind of foundation did you find works best for you? Ive tried liquid, cream, powder. is it a brand thing? My face always ends up looking like that and I have tried so many things to fix it, I'm out of ideas.
@@heathermartini1373 I've started using the flower beauty foundation that works best or the purlisse cc skin tint works best for my skin and I use a small beauty blender when I put foundation or skin tint on. I also use an Elf hydrating primer because I have dry skin and that also seems to help with the pilling as well. I hope one of these help!
@@iamawesomehearmeroar Thank you!
Happens to me with a lot of concealers.... Some of them very highly rated ones that simply don't work for me.
I have very dry skin and do use a very intensive moisturiser before makeup and usually used tinted moisturiser rather than foundation as very few foundations don't dry out on me.
@@deesnoek1011 I've started using the trestique concealer on my dry skin that I also have to moisturize heavily. And it hasn't creased on me or anything yet.
I dermaplan regularly. It doesn't grow back thicker or darker and makes it heavenly to apply & let the skin absorb spf. And even make up, it goes on differently. Really recommend!
I have been toying with dermaplaning for a while now! Still undecided but it sounds like such a great thing.
@@yvettebasson1243 you could also just try it once and never do it again if you don't like it because, again, it won't change the way your hair grows so you definitely have room for changing your mind
@@lilithqualcosa thank you so much, I am going to give it a go!
Absolutely!!! It’s such a nice thing to do to your skin!
May I ask…I’ve been wanting to try. Even bought a razor. But don’t know where to start? Do you just start with a clean damp face? Or dry face? Put an oil on or moisturizer first? Or nothing?
Robert! I am a total beginner at makeup. Yesterday, I went to Sephora and not one, but TWO of the employees complimented my makeup. They especially loved my eyebrows. It is all thanks to you. You are awesome!!!
My eyeshadows used to get that smooth layer after a while of using them, and then l tried this hack where you take a piece of scotch tape and put it on the shadow and it lifts the layer up and your product is as good as new.
I've been addicted to makeup since I was five. Started watching James and now I'm addicted to skincare. I'm 42 and I see amazing results. Yes for work makeup but for the most part I don't wear makeup much. So thanks to the twins for James getting my skin on point and Robert has taught me that I was doing my makeup correct. I could never feel comfortable in RUclips makeup.
We're the same age and I had to figure it out by myself. I couldn't ever figure out the correct shade of foundation so I have so many pics when I was younger with a line or an obvious shade that didn't match.
YT would have been so useful back then lol!
But now I have learned so much! The best thing that improved my makeup was dermaplaning, skin care, knowing my undertone.
I do have really dark circles. But I also have dry skin and I'm not 12. That much concealer on me would turn my undereyes into a desert. For me a dot in the corners of the eye and a dot in the middle a bit lower (kinda where my dark circle ends) is more than enough
I also read that it’s good not to bring it up to the lash line or something. I keep wanting to try that but I forget.
@@stardroplet9499 yes, that does help too. Although I don't always remember to do that 😅
Yes! I have pretty dark genetic circles, and I find that two small dots on the inner half and one miniscule dot on the outer corner is usually enough. I may add a tiny fourth dot in the middle if I'm having a rough day, but I always try to avoid bringing it up to the lash line. I used to, but found that the added dimension/shadow really helps make me look less made up, which is exactly what I want.
I've never understood how people can get flawless undereye with such amount of product! Never worked for me even in my twenties
@@claro_ve6760 I'm only 26, but I have lines since I was like 17. I don't understand how people put that much product on their skin
Omg I would love a compilation of Robert saying “powda” it’s so satisfying for some reason.
Im a licensed dermatologist and her foundation sits on her skin because she is dry from the inside! She needs basic skin vitamins like a,b,c,d,e twice a day everyday with 12 oz of water each time. In 2 weeks it will completely fix itself!! Type and condition are major factors that determine how your skin looks. I use vitamins and tons of water and use daily microfoliant once a day with a rich lotion and can go days without washing my face (i have kidney/ liver failure) when im sick and have no break outs or flakes. The first step is the basil layer where all skin keratin is made. Giving your body energy for skin cells increases collagen and elastin that keeps skin tight,soft,bouncy.
Love the way you share all your knowledge...you are so thorough and such a good teacher! 🖤
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!!
I recently bought a brush soap cleaner from Shop Miss A as they opened a store in my local mall. Y'all that soap cleaned off some of my worst stained brushes. It made it so much faster to wash my brushes. I personally got the mango scent haha.
I love that soap! It’s so affordable and works amazing! Works good on sponges too.
Good to know. I got mango, but I WANT strawberry and peach 😗
I LOVE THAT SOAP!! SPONGES TOO!!
I have all the scents and the rose one seems to last the longest.
Shop Miss A is the truth!!!
I love the mango sent, I gout it it from their website
I was dying inside when she was “washing” the brushes…. 😱
Same
Big same. My mind went racing!! Ughhhhhh.
In today's episode of watching Robert get annoyed with TikTok... 😂
For the holidays, we need a marathon of Robert Gets Annoyed with TikTok, and he and James supplementing it with 5 minute craft goodies every few videos.
@@bratshats OMG YES!
I need to master Robert's "laugh" of disgust 😂 so perfect
he sounds like Dracula hahaha
We both gasped when the brushes dropped into the sink!! Lol
I haven’t worn make up in over 10 yrs. But, I’m still obsessed with it. And by watching Roberts videos. I’ve learned that I had been putting makeup on the wrong way for years.
Thank you Kim!!! 🖤🖤
My husband is an artist/mural painter and he also says to not get anything down in the ferrule of the brush. He’s very adamant about that.
I follow someone on Instagram who crushed up a bronzer and mixed it with her setting spray to make a fake freckle spray that looked more random and pretty natural. I don't know which setting spray though, it was one wih a very fine mister
I wash my brushes with Dawn in the sink as well. But I don’t dry them standing up or in the dryer. I just let them air dry on a towel after I rinse them. I’m no makeup guru by any means, but it seems logical to not place them in a clothing dryer 😬
Jeniffer, I ruined a few brushes by sinking them completely under the water. The glue wears out quickly if you do that and also they need to be dried horizontally not vertically so the water would not touch the glue that holds the bristles and the handle :)
@@Verbsdescribeus Exactly. Best method is to use bar soap. Wet your brush, swipe them a few times on bar soap, then scrub on those textured cleaning pads (actually, even just the back of your hands works, though it'll take longer), then rinse under running water while still scrubbing. Repeat if necessary. Could use liquid soap as well, but bar soap is cheaper while being just as effective. And I also air dry on a towel, but I stand them up instead of letting them lay flat. Above all, don't let any liquid go into the barrel, and your brushes will last so much longer
Hi Robert, I have struggled to find a foundation routine for my mature skin. These are the changes that finally worked.... use a hydrating primer, then a pore filling one (Elf Poreless Putty), I then used a small amount of concealer to correct under the eyes and cover spots. I then mix a bit of a more dewy foundation into a matte one, and apply a very small amount- I use a brush to "pat" it into the skin, then go over it lightly with a sponge. I only use the tiniest amount of powder just under the eyes (I like the Hourglass Translucent Veil powder.) Just thought I would share this for any people with mature skin, just in case something in this routine might help someone!🖤🖤🖤
May I ask why you mix matte and dewy foundations? Wouldn't just a dewy one be enough, with powder on top to dull the shine? Or a satin finish one if you're looking for an in-between finish?
When you went over the foundation video and the possible texture issues, omg. I get that constantly and now I have a list of things to pursue! 2 stood out as HIGHLY possible issues, but it was amazing of how you broke it down and explained each possibility. Thank you, you lovely being ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! It’s my pleasure! I hope one of them is the fix!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
@@RobertWelsh I'm determined to master this oily skin! 😅
I never knew why my eyeshadows got those hard bits I thought it was just from them getting old! Thank you for always teaching me new things even years into me watching you
Robert I love this shirt on you!!! Thank you for making my day. You are a true joy!!! I can’t wait to see each video you put out. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge with us. Have a good day…. Big Hugs from Texas!
Thank you so so much Kim!! 🖤🖤🖤
I have been away from social media and RUclips for a while (confession time BUT that absolutely does NOT mean that I'd ever lose interest in my dear Welsh brothers. I have just needed some social media break), so... Today while I was binge-watching Robert, James & Marcus, my hubby commented: "Hmmm, you haven't watched them for a while". My hubby, who absolutely has no idea about anything related to make-up and beauty. Except for the holy trinity of Welsh brothers! This is how much you are loved and appreciated at our house ❤❤❤❤❤!!!
Nothing wrong with a social media break! I only do RUclips anymore. Glad you're getting your Welsh fix still!
@@bratshats It was really relieving to take some break, but I felt guilty that it also affected my weekly dose of Welsh brothers 🥺 I love their energy so much❤
@@ezgio.6929 Understandable! I gave myself limits, and even with youtube, an hour a day at most. I find it nice to be in control of myself, instead of getting lost in everything but my own life. Better to work on the problems than try to escape. Sorry, rambly today.
But it's nice to hear from someoe else who has benefitted from a social media break. Did you accomplish a lot? I ended up getting so much done during the break.
social media detox is highly recommended these days :D
Robert! You look positively glowing! Has James finally got to you with a skincare routine? 😮💕
Thank you! No absolutely not! 😂😂😂 I’m still really bad with my skincare routine!!
Amazing as always man! I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past 4 days straight. I am an triplet and my brother Darren passed away but he and I loved makeup. He was a big fan of yours as well. Just wanted to let you know your videos are incredible and relaxing ❤️🌈💜
💖💖💖
I’m way too emotional to be reading this today 😭 this was so sweet 💓
@@erinwarner3376 thank you! I miss him so much ❤️
If you haven’t seen their channel you need to watch The Welsh Twins. They have a new one going up in less than an hr. You will legit laugh soooo hard. And it’s a 5 min crafts one so it’s gonna be hilarious!
@david Hendrickson I can’t imagine. I’m a twin and idk how I would survive losing my brother. Peace and love to you 💞
I am so happy you talked about the darker concealer before lighter for people with actual dark circles! Lately in the morning I’ve been thinking about this (logically it always made sense to me). I’m definitely confident enough to attempt it now. Thank you!
brush cleaners that dissolve makeup without any water are game changing honestly. i use the cinema secrets one and cleaning my brushes takes me like half an hour with it instead of more than an hour of washing, rinsing and hanging them to dry.
When you switched over to the TikTok camera and without makeup, you really look alot more like James! I think maybe the way you do your makeup makes you look a bit different to him. Both are good, just up close like that it was like looking at James' face 👀 😁
😝 a lot of people say that! Considering James doesn’t wear makeup, and I always do on camera, people are always surprised how similar we look when I don’t wear any!
The way you describe the girl as informative but not condescending is exactly how you are! Love this video
I just can’t get over how good Robert looks today.
The girl in the sculpting video, I LOVE IT. I have never seen a chinstrap contour look so good on someone
Those tips are amazing! I did realize i used a little too much of different primers and didn’t give it time to absorb and my makeup looked more cakier or just like it sat on top
the chaos of the brush cleaning was fantastic. also i recommend dermaplaning to anyone with peachfuzz, just make sure your skin and the blade are CLEAN and use a light hand. i have a lot of hair being latina and this has been the best way for me to deal with the hair on my face
I swear in your normal videos I don't think you look that much like James, but in that little clip you did with the phone for the tiktok powder thing I did a little double take thinking it might be him 😂 I feel like your studio setup is pure wizardry now
Same. I would have sworn it was James 🙃
Using a makeup brush has changed the game for me with making my makeup stay on my skin!! When I use a sponge, it really lifts on me too!
I don't have the patience or know how to do make up but watching you really makes me wish I did. You're awesome Robert
😝 thank you so much!! 🖤
My drying method is to rub clean brushes on a dry towel to get out the excess water, then put your brushes in front of a fan to dry. Works super fast.
That brush cleaning one had me just cringing the whole clip! 😂
Omg I lost my shit when she threw those brushes in the sink! The whole brush under water! Then soaking them straight up and the FREAKING DRYER?! Omg sweet baby Jesus!
I love how you explain things so in depth and educationally, it makes me feel like I’m in cosmetology school.
Hi Robert, would you consider making a whole video explaining reasons why foundation may sit like that on the skin?
Yes yes yes!!!!!!!
Would definitely enjoy something like that.
Yes!!! I came here to say this!!!
Yes please Robert. Sometimes my foundation goes on perfect, the other times is like it is in the video and I have to start over. Thank You In Advance Robert
Yes! Especially on the nose
I'm so glad you validated my skin care routine being different according to day, night, temporary sensitivity issues, pre-makeup. If I used the moisturizer and serums and this or that I use at night my makeup would slide off my face. I can't even imagine.
Just thought you should know under regular conditions through tiktok they add have a 2percent pre beauty filter if you wanted to know the difference. Thanks so much for adding that on your video! It explains why alot of muas that have gone viral stick to tiktock instead of breaching into whole youtube vids like you did. Much respect 🙏!
Yup, ruined one of my favorite eyeshadows by getting it wet. Had no idea it would end up like that. I'd always heard that wetting was just a way to get more pigment, so I dampened my brush before going into the pan. Completely ruined it.
The creator with the round face contour method was so wholesome 😭 glad to know TikTok isn’t entirely toxic haha
James is such a big helper. Totally love these. The really nice woman on tik tok (no corrections) is what this world needs more of and of course you and James.
This is Robert
@@SabrinaHawk ye that was obvious. Which is why I think you should read my comment again.
I use the same 8 to 10 brushes on "most" days. Everyday after I do my make up I wash a few brushes, typically 2. I alternate which 2 brushes I wash daily so during the week my daily brushes are always clean. This system takes less than a minute and has worked great!
When leaving my brushes to dry, I hang them upside down! I use regular rubber elastics and loop them around the handle to hang on a towel hook or the cupboard knob 👌🏼
This man is brilliant, this is why we love you Robert💜
Robert: “now listen”
Me: *yes chef*
THE BRUSH ONE STRESSED ME OUT SO MUCH OMG.
Wow! When you did the tiktok filter and your fave was flipped you looked so much like James! That was crazy! I know you're twins, but you guys definitely have unique features, so that was trippy for a second 😆
The "how to make your foundation sit better" part is a LIFE SAVIOR! I always thought that i wouldn't look good in makeup anyway, and my skin had too many imperfections or bad texture which wouldn't allow me to look good... I'll try everything and "learn" about my skin, THANK YOU!!!!
I clean my brushes about once a month(I wear foundation maybe twice a month, so its usually a few face brushes and lots of eye brushes) and im so meticulous about them. Watching that TikTok literally hurt🤣🤣 I can't imagine treating my brushes so rough
When you or James are shown in reverse, you each could easily pass for the other.
Thank you, Robert. You’re beautiful in every way.
Robert, your skin was gorgeous 😍 in this video! I couldn't tell if it was bare skin or a no makeup makeup look. It was sublime.
Robert you have such a respectful way of commenting on the work of others. You always start with a compliment first. Then when you give your opinion, it is never degrading or mean to the other person.
You're always respectful and educational. If only more people could be like this!
Robert looks so much more like James in the TikTok camera, it's wild. I never thought they looked super identical before
Oh that brush cleaning did not disappoint. The look on his face when he saw the dryer 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Also this reminded me that I need to clean my brushes
Thank you for adding the Tiktok demo at the end. That really helped!
Make cleaning your brushes every night a thing. Like, do your face, put all your brushes in the bathroom next to your sink. When you go to take your makeup off at night, do your facial and clean your brushes in one go. Leave them to dry overnight. Then you'll never need to do big wash sessions and get bored and sore
I thought Robert was going to have a stroke once those brushes hit the dryer 🤣
I love that you and your brother have the best backdrops. Very aesthetically pleasing.
I was scrolling through my youtube feed bored to death so this notification felt like a gift from the universe!
Thank yoooou!! 🙏🏻🖤🖤🖤
I started to apply my concealer by taking a small flat concealer brush and taking it off the applicator from the tube and using the brush to conceal under my eyes. It distributes the product in a thinner layer and I end up using less and it covers pretty well. I let it sit for a bit and then buff it in. I don't need powder to set it since it dried down. Applying a matte setting spray to my brushes also helps with setting makeup (saw that tip from Jackie Aina)
I feel like with makeup application hacks like the concealer one, it’s like a game of telephone where the origin of the hack is deeply distorted by the time it’s viral because people aren’t actually listening to the source and they’re hearing how someone wrongly interpreted it on Tik Tok.
I have stopped watching many people die to drama. Robert you are a breath of fresh air, year after year. 💜
Unrelated to the video, but I just got my welsh twins T-shirt and I love it!! Fits exactly how I wanted it to!!💜💜💜
Yesssss!!!! Thank you! I’m glad you love it!!!!
Robert, in the tiktok camera you looked so like James!
Robert!! I always get the hard bits off my powder by using tape (Like Scotch tape) it takes a while and you have to use a few pieces so it’s a bit tedious but you lose less product than if you were to scrape it off!
I love that your TikTok advice was just as relevant then as it is right now. Also, I hate cleaning my brushes as well. It’s a drag and difficult to do. But I can’t clean my brushes how she did. I don’t have the time or space to use a sink and Dawn. Also, I can’t afford to replace my brushes the way that will require. If it works for her, great. I’m glad she can clean her brushes reasonably. It’s just a) not recommended for the care of the product and b) it doesn’t work for me.
I love these videos robert thanks for keeping so many of us educated and entertained❤️❤️
Thank you so so much! 🖤🖤
I love when actual MUAs test this stuff. Especially you Robert! You're so much fun and I love your open and inviting approach for makeup. You're never condescending and always speak kindly and help educate ❤❤❤❤
I don't even cover up my dark circles anymore, like yes Jessica I have a business and a household to run, I don't just look tired, I am in fact tired.
I've got a 3yr old that doesn't sleep well and a snoring boyfriend ,my bags exceed Ryanairs limits and I've almost given up too 😂
I so SO appreciate these types of videos from Robert!! I have a teenage daughter....who tries to keep up with all these "trending " videos on tik tok...I gotta keep myself educated on these things...
Thank you Robert 💜
Love watching you Robert ❤ You're extremely intelligent when it comes to skincare and makeup! Thank you for always sharing with us 😊
Lol, he would tell you he knows nothing about skincare.😃. But completely agree he is a genius with makeup.
Thank you! I know zero about skincare though😝 that would be james!
@@RobertWelsh your talent in makeup more than makes up for lack of skincare knowledge! 🖤
YOU'RE not condescending!!!! That's one of the main reasons I watch you!!!
I like to use just a bar of soap for my foundation brushes - it always seems to dry on so grody. Works well for beauty blenders, too. Got a fucked up back so I'm not going to baby my $1 shop miss a brushes tbh XD
