I’m subscribed to everything Robert Welch and James Welch are in💋🖤👻
Can you review sculpted new liquid blush that also claim all colours suitable for everybody please @RobertWelsh.
The prettiest lavender blush is NARS Afterglow liquid blush in soft lilac. So gorgeous and the product is awesome.
I was one of them first subscribers 🖤🖤
Where's the link for the Lipstick Lesbian video you said you'd include? I've never heard of them but am very interested in seeing their video and possibly subscribing to them too! 😋
“A fart of lavender in a tube”, Oh my goodness

@@RobertWelsh 😂💜🖤🤗
@@RobertWelsh we all died a little, and a bit of air escaped
It’s the la croix of blush
“A fart of lavender in a tube” Robert, I adore this!🤣💨
I'm not disappointed about YSL. I'm used to the disrespect these brands have for women of color especially black women. What im angry about is the people who didnt believe in dark skinned influencers like Golloria who told her audience that this wouldn't work on black women. They were disgusting to her. They kept telling her to blend it out as if that would work. Golloria's work has helped so many black women and women of color get beautiful bright colors for their makeup because they took these companies to task for their product.
That is absolutely disrespectful and insulting. 😢
As someone who is usually the lightest shade a brand offers (if they offer a foundation I can wear at all) and an ex MUA I am so pissed off at YSL for this campaign, and this product - because I could use most blushers that someone with darker skin than me uses, I'd just use less product, but the same is not true in reverse so I don't understand why brands are still making these products at all, let alone blatantly lying to consumers about how inclusive they're being. And I'm so mad at how horrific people are being to black influencers about this, like believe people when they say they know what works on them. What the hell is wrong with people? So sorry on behalf of the ignorant pale people.
@@vivaisabella “so sorry on behalf of ignorant pale people” what? 😂
Why should you be sorry for something you didn’t do? You don’t get other races apologising for the wrongdoings of their people, because they don’t care.
No matter what you say it’s not going to make them like you, they hate you with a burning passion.
Miss Darcei also gets a bunch of hate and shade whenever she is testing something like a color-changing foundation. She has so many videos of it because each time someone is like “well you just aren’t using it right, stop complaining etc.” she is reacting to the product. That is her job. Just cause some of yall believe that black people should have to eat sh*t with a smile doesn’t mean we have to.
I’m sure they all claim to be colourblind. Which they are, because they have zero comprehension on how colour works. Agree with @viviasabella
Always learning something new from Robert. This week's lesson; Units of Measurement
"A fart of lavender" 💜
😂
😂😂
It’s metric 😎
He he he he he
Miss Darcei definitely had it right. Every range should have something for every skin tone, but not every shade will be. That's true for blush like it's true for foundation. Just don't lie.
Advertising this blush as suitable for all skin tones is a joke. Brands need to do better!!
Absolutely!
I'm very fair but warm toned. It would work on me either too blue.
Shouldn't this count as false advertising
They outdid themselves by creating a blush that looks good on NO skin tones, bravo. 😂😭
@@viobliterator yes
At this point, it is obviously intentional. There is no way YSL with their infinite budget genuinely messed up in this way in 2024. It’s rage-bait marketing at the expense of darker-skinned people.
I agree. This is happening too frequently to be incompetence imo.
Is what I'm saying. There are no 'mistakes' in 2024 lmao
yea i thought the same thing when i saw it
But the blush looks bad on everyone. We don’t need victim playing.
@@loisen girl go meat-ride under somebody else's comment-
The black model CLEARLY has a red blush underneath, that they might have barely tapped the purple on top.
OR it's photoshopped.
But there's no way it's the main product that's not how the color wheel works.
Actually purple blushes do show up in varying beautiful pinks on darker skinned individuals, which is why our community loves them so much. So depending on the pigment and intensity, it can appear a bit more red because of color theory. However you’re correct in this case, it’s very clearly not the same blush
I thought it was used as the highlighter, tbh.
@@poppycartergraphics120 The purple isn't the problem here, it's the white pigment base that will show up ashy on practically everyone. This is one more reason cream blushes are safer, the base is clear so it will work on more skin tones. Deeper women who are looking for a purple blush should check out Fenty's cream blush.
@@ladywytch129 yes! I'm so pale that it looks like it would be a highlighter for a cool-toned person like me... pretty sure my foundation is darker than that 'blush' lmao
@@flossimoth It wouldn't be the worst color corrector for heavy redness on fair, cool toned skin. Should make a nice pink shade.
Imagine creating a blusher that would look genuinely stunning on someone with albinism, who struggles with finding tones cool/light enough for their skin - and then being so consumed with being "inclusive" that you completely ignore them 🙃 YSL ya screwed tha pooch
this!!! Imagine the resonance and the marketing joy you could get by having an albino model and an incredibly dark skin one, close to one another with a blush that works for them!!! But no. I really wonder if it was to create buzz...
Thats what i call a la croix color, purple was in the room, but not the bottle. My bedroom walls used to be that color, not a vibe.
"purple was in the room" 🤣🤣
la croix color is too good 😂😂
This purple blush was like how I make my mimosas. Pour champagne, slice an orange, and whip it on the rim of the glass lol
LOL
@@wolvie1618 screaming lol
At this point, these brands are doing this on purpose. They are rage baiting and using the free publicity to their advantage. As a black woman, I will NEVER purchase from a brand that's using such a sensitive topic to profit. This is why I never have and never will purchase from Tarte
🎯 my thoughts exactly
Using people of colour and their identity for cheap marketing tactics and gimmicks is a tale as old as time.
I haven't been able to afford YSL products to date so I'm happy that I've never given my money to them. But even if I could afford them some day I'm not going to buy any of their products.
Same here. I'm white, but I just can not believe the marketing techniques these companies are trying to use. It's insensitive, and it's unnecessary. I will never understand the hateful messages these companies are sending out. I also refuse to support them.
Its giving casket ready ....the minute i saw this my melanin said nope next.....I've used sunnscreen with less of a white cast..and fun fact purple is supposed to show better and much more on darker skin tones...that why brown and black girlies love the pruple cause it shows up a beautiful pinkish shade on our skin versus how regular pink blush is harder so it wasnt even hard for them to at least try they could of just added more pigment other brands have already shown us amazing purple blush. Its all color theory
Literally this is pure white! It insane
Lol 100% Corpse Bride chic
I was thinking the same thing about the sunscreen. I would say my skin tone is pretty close to Roberts. It gives the same cast as a good beach day sunscreen.
Yup my thoughts went to vampire cosplay
Exactly. They didn't even try.
As usual you are the voice of reason. I cannot believe the horrific abuse and straight up gaslighting I saw on Golloria's instagram about this product. I'm a pale ginger and this product wouldn't even look like blush (or even warm) on ME let alone dark skinned WOC like Golloria!!
So tired of people boot-licking companies and disregarding the lived experience of women of colour.
I thought it was a lavender concealer when I first saw it 😭🤣
Right!
Me too!!!! Dying to see the rest of vid!!!!
@@RobertWelsh Yves Saint Laurent has either not been online in a decade or is rage bating us on purpose to push their name/product(s) to the forefront of people’s minds. Either way, eww on them
@11_elleven That's what I just said, coming from a marketing exec- I promise you it's either trying to get people to talk, OR they're pulling a Chanel with "We don't have to make anything for anyone we deem as extra".
It's very...... republicans trying to act like they're above anyone else, but still pretending they're trying to 'help'. 🙄🤔
Either way, this was intentional; this color would have thrown up flags of YO, this isn't a color across the board!
This totally could have been a color corrector.
This is the importance of equality vs. equity. You can’t just say “this color will work for everyone” and have it count as “inclusive.” It’s having a shade range where people of many different skin tones can find *something* that works for them, even if not everything works for them.
the way golloria has been attacked on instagram for talking about these blushes has been horrific, ngl. it's a tragedy how poc women are treated, even in 2024. tbh, YSL should've released a much deeper purple blush alongside this for deeper skin tones to use instead of the nonsense they pulled here
Came here to say this - she is such a great creator, honest, joyful, but also reasonably critical with calling out non inclusive shade ranges and she has gotten SO MUCH 💩 that she has to take time off?! It's so disgusting and I'm being appalled by people treating her this way! I hope she can recover and heal from this and find joy in creating again 🥺❤️
Honestly even if they didn't release a corresponding shade, they shouldn't have advertised this blush like it would be suitable for any poc. So much less problem if they'd have just advertised it for who it was meant for.
They just shouldn't have sent it to Golloria they set her up for the attacks they knew what her content I'm disgusted
These people are tiring ... I want to believe people are paid to viciously defend brands when they are called out for blatant deception. And heaven forbid you bring up terrible shade ranges from brands pretending to care about inclusivity. Why do people who aren't affected by these things get defensive of BRANDS that don't care about anything but their money? GAHHHhhhh pick more respectable hills to die on.
it's crazy because this is the exact reason why Jackie Aina stopped doing a lot of this exact same content. the hate and vitriol she'd receive from non-black ppl whenever she'd call out some BS in the industry wore her down. it's exhausting having to constantly justify your opinion that you know to be true to ppl either too invested to see the issue or intentionally dismissive bc they don't care and don't want to think about it. same shit, different platform.
“You don’t need to defend the brand. They don’t care about you.” I love the annoyance in Robert’s voice. 😂
YSL 100% is trying to pull Youthforia's marketing strategy: ragebait. Just straight up insulting for us women of colour. 😤
It’s so strange because they are an already established brand. I have lost any respect for them that I did have
@@RobertWelshtrue~ and that warmth you mentioned at 4:44 - surely they had mixed in with one of their shades called Berry Bang. Pleeeease 🙄
That’s what I’m saying! But why would a well known and loved brand need to do this, so disappointing of them tbh.
It really does feel like they’re just trying to taunt us now…
You've hit the nail on the head
100% rage bait
Insulting
17:05 it looks like you’re going for corpse or maybe frostbite 😭
I don’t understand why some brands can’t be honest that not all of their products work on all skin tones. Like we all know that not all colors work on all skin tones. If a shade can only works with certain tones be honest. A very light shade without a lot of pigment will work a lot better on light skin tones than darker skin tones. A shade with a lot of pigment would look great on darker skin tones and might not work that well on lighter skin tones. There’s products that look beautiful on people with deeper skin tones and would look horrible on my skin tone that’s about the same as a piece of paper.
Yes absolutely! We all know how colour theory works by now right!? Brands need to give customers the benefit of the doubt
Spot on. Diversity here should be about giving all types of people an assortment of colours that work for them. If some colours don’t work on someone, that’s okay because there’s other colours that work, that in turn don’t work on someone else and so on. Lying about what works on which skin tone and profiting off of gaslighting costumers, aka false advertisement, is incredibly scummy and asinine.
EXACTLY. The point is to have options, things that WILL look good on a range of skin tones, and frankly, the darker shades do look like they’d look good on deeper tones. I don’t get why they had to lie 😂
Yes! Like it's fine that not every single shade works for everybody. People just want an option that will work for them.
This wouldn't even work on pale people though due to all the white in the base, even pale people need enough pigment in a blush to make it show up! All skin colours need pigmented products, pigmentation levels aren't the same as how deep or how saturated a colour is. You can have a light colour which is very pigmented and a dark colour with weak pigmentation - think of black eyeshadows which are grey when swatched.
You are absolutely right!!! This product aims the Asian/Korean type of makeup and is absolutely fine! Actually I have exactly your skin tone and hair colour, I’m using it as brightening base and I am loving it!
Thank you for this, Robert. This is one of the reasons we love you - a true ally. The backlash black content creators have received calling this out is disgusting.
It’s absolutely insane I don’t understand how anyone can argue against black creators for something so visually proven !
@@RobertWelsh Right??! But Golloria has had to take a break from social media and Darcei has people in her comments going at her for speaking out. It’s beyond disgusting. Jackie, Nyma, Ohemaa and others have been doing this for years yet we’re still having to deal with this in 2024 🙄
Love that Robert isn’t ever scared to speak his truth! I respect him completely! Thank you Robert!
Seems fair to say their ads with the deeper skin toned models are photoshopped 🧐
Absolutely
Is that not illegal? Scam advertisement basically
Or a completely different product all together
I think they added some of the colour miss Darcy used to make it look the way it did on the models
all ads today are edited, independent of brand, budget, etc.
I'm interested to see how /if this colour blush works on a porcelain skin tone. It doesn't look like it would make much difference on a pale complexion
Both the Welsh twins always start their videos by apologizing for an aspect of their appearance despite always looking literally perfect 🤣
i agree on all of this except for the whole opportunity thing TheLipstickLesbians was talking about. now im not sure what truly its like to work at YSL but as someone who has worked in businesses where not great decisions or products were definitely questioned at many opportunities (as she was talking about), if the higher ups say this is what they want, the rest of us have to deal with it. if a YSL or Loreal or whoever higher up decided on this and was adamant, im sure a creative artist or a manager somewhere or marketing tried to be like "oh no this wont work" but lmaooo good luck getting some old dude in charge change his mind especially when it comes to minorities !!!!
Yeah, and the chemist pointing out that the milky lavender shade provided in the brief won’t work on deep skin tones is a completely befuddling scenario for her to bring up because… obviously? No one went into this thinking that was going to be an inclusive and universal shade, it’s clearly a trendy one they decided to market as suitable for everyone for god knows what reason. I like the Lipstick Lesbians but they periodically miss the mark in some of their commentary, and this is more of a chronologically online take from someone with a distant corporate background than it is a realistic appraisal of the process from someone currently employed at a large company.
“A fart of lavender in a tube” LMFAOOO
💨
The way I just choked on my drink laughing when he said it 😂
Make this a shirt!!!! I'd rock that!!!!! 😅
It sucks because I actually think this colour is so pretty. I’m Black so it wouldn’t work for me - but that would be fine as long as they didn’t try to pretend that it did.
If it was just a pure lavender shade without a white base then it would definitely look good on dark skins like ours. Check out dark skinned creators who try purple shades. They look so beautiful ❤
Violet and plum blushes are so gorgeous on dark skin, especially dark skin with cool undertones! (Burgundies and wines for warmer undertones). I saw a makeup artist combine a deep violet blush with a luminous purple highlight on a model with a very deep skin tone and it was absolutely gorgeous.
It looks like calamine lotion 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Omg yes
There it is!
💯‼️
lol
You do such a good job at explaining it's not an issue with the product per say (necessarily) but with the advertisment and communication. Well done and so informative!
I am so pale that the lavender shade would work for me, but the darkest shade that looked amazing on Darcie, would never work for me. And that is okay! Not everything has to be for everyone. They just need to stop lying.
It’s the lies that’s the problem
Not every product works for everyone but everyone should have a product that works for them.
@@samesta5695I totally agree. They could have made a pigmented purple for deeper skin.
I am also as pale as humans get, so a number 1 in Fenty for reference and still have issues buying foundation and concealer. This shade would work on me, but lying and saying it would work on everyone, they must think we are stupid! It's even worse that they used dark skinned women in their advert, and in the video showing the girl mixing them, the lavender didn't even show up then. At some point in this process surely somebody pointed out it was looking bad on dark skin? So we have to assume that this is deliberate and they are rage baiting to get us talking about the brand. The problem is now I don't want to buy this because what they did is just plain wrong, and I am the person that product was actually made for. Indie brands manage to just put blushes out without all these issues, Oden's Eye being an example as they just released new ones. Their new shades are much more pigmented than anything they did before, so not for me and that is fine. I can see for myself they would be too dark.
I dont know. I think the deep shade would look great on a super pale face. You just wouldnt need to use much of it. That light purple shad in no way would work on a darker skin tone
long lost sister of Youthforia, YSL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! Youthforia's Sister, Lost
oh my god, conspiracy 👀👀👀@@vsquared30
Great critique! It blows my mind how people are defending a multi billion dollar brand for not being inclusive. Us dark skinned girls deserve to have products that are inclusive especially when they are marketed as such
Thank you. Absolutely, I really don’t understand the theory behind any of this. I’ve lost all respect for the brand
I think it' goes deeper than that. They clearly had a colour that would work on darker skin but chose to lie and say light purple tippex would work on us. I'm side eyeing L'Oréal as well now
happy that you pointed out the blush shade isn’t an issue, but the misleading, inaccurate marketing is. thank you for covering issues in the beauty industry ❤
i can confirm its very hard to find makeup that suits my skintone, i am very light skinned. i look weird if i try and wear blusch or, oh no, contour. foundation is almost always too dark, or with a weird undertone. i mix my own shades as of now. it is ridiculous to think that a shade of anything could look good on both my pale skin and someone with a deep skintone. to be inclusive doesnt mean to force everyone into the same mold, it means make something for every skintone to wear! right?
Korean brands like Rom&nd and Dasique will be amazing for you!
I’m the same. Tinted moisturizers/ sunscreen can be too dark on me.
Contours are the bane of my existence lol was hard to find one that looked ok on me.
@@whoahanant right? Right!? I thought it was me that is so poor at applying makeup until i understood that the colors were wrong! It's annoying to have to mix everything with different things but at the moment that's what i do.
@@RobertWelsh but are they in my budget tho, i wonder? Thanks for the tip, will check out!
I think the brand did this on purpose, to rage bait, knowing the amount of publicity the product will get, despite it being negative, will turn into dollars, it's all calculated
Agree a 💯. The number of people who will buy it for their channels turns into $$$
Yeah so a bunch of pale "I have trouble too" girlies will buy it, just because they know it made brown and black people angry. It's the chicken fil a tactic.
Such cheap tactics may have worked in the long run years ago but we are in the boycott era. Many brands are financially losing in the last couple years because they pulled such cheap tricks back in the day. But I know that it's not always the case so I sincerely hope that people stop buying YSL products in future because such brands only learn through money.
So damn unethical. The Lipstick Lesbians TikTok explaining the development process and how there must have been photoshop in the advertising as well... Anything to avoid being inclusive. Ew.
Edit: you mentioned the same video! I love them.
I included a clip in this video!
I loved their video. It really emphasized that this isn't a mistake, it was a series of choices to make this product and market it this way. We need the people making those choices to do better.
Right?! I work in Product (albeit in a different industry), and I guaran-fuckin-tee that multiple people flagged this as a potential risk and got overruled by some upper level manager who thinks they shit gold every time they have an opinion.
There are so many sign offs and teams and regulatory considerations for new stuff, there is no way no-one picked this up.
Either communication is so bad the concerns never got passed on, or someone with a big ego threw their weight around and pushed it through anyway.
I think the lavender shade is made to mix with the other colours!
Extremely fair and true olive based skin is rarely catered for!
They absolutely used one of the darker blushes and then added a dot of the lavender one in the middle. Either that or those pics were completely faked.
"a fart of lavender" is now officially the funniest thing you've ever said in a video 😂
But I'm 100% with you, Robert. I've been doing makeup professionally now for over 10 years, and there is no way that the models they're showing are using that lavender blush alone. There's too much red pigment still present in the photos, which is deceitful because it won't appear that way by itself.
Right!?? There is 100% some manipulation there!
It would take a LOT of convincing for me to believe a blush ever needs opaque white in it. It's like a matte highlighter no thank you.
I feel like at this point, some of these brands are doing this shit on purpose in order to get people talking about it.
They all of a sudden have plenty of options in colors, that they release *after* people have been talking.
It's super sketch at this point, and at least half of them are doing it on purpose.
I saw this originally on a Korean RUclipsr and LOVED how it showed up on her. It created this angelic, soft baby cheek look on her that I thought it would be a great winter blush for me. Now I'm not sure if I'll get light enough in the winter for this and if I was mislead since seeing all the western youtubers try it out!
I’m so tired of false images that doesn’t represent reality when it comes to makeup (and skincare). Please brands, just be honest.
This YSL is following a Japanese trend of Milky blush. Mostly for fair and very fair skin. I've bought a few and tried the lavender - which is yes, white on the skin. Promptly reutrned it. Now Revolution , yes, Revolution makes NEO Pink which is pigmented enought for all skin tones. Love this!!! Bought it at Target.
Could this go to the ASA in the UK as false advertising?
Ohhhhh…. 👀
Most definitely- it does fall under that. It's like one of those mascara - the companies are supposed to mention to the consumers of other extensions have used ALONG with the product.
😂🤣😂”A FART OF LAVENDER….”😂🤣😂🤣. DAMN……I am DYING…..😂🤣
I bow to the Great ONE…..❤🙏🏻
I am translucent and I don’t even think this would work for my skin tone
Literally THE ONLY PERSON i've seen this shade actually looking good is Oceannec AND SHE LITERALLY HAS alblnlsm
(sorry for the weird censorship, yt deleted my previous comment bcs of this word 🙄)
I have seen this look good on very pale people or lighter skinned people as a brightening under eye corrector. Still a small group though.
@nany____ I wear hourglass blanc and it looks like foundation w a purple undertone when I switched some a friend was sent
This might suit Hannah Louise Poston... except for the fact she is a super pale olive and it would clash so bad with her skin undertone.
@@Soulcrash3 I'm hourglass blanc and swatched on me it looked like foundation w a purple undertone
1:36 babes that’s high priced white corrector 🤣 no wayyyyy that’s lavender 😭
if you pay attention to the advertising photos for any given blush on the darkest models it's actually shocking how often it looks quite bad
Absolutely!
I love The Lipstick Lesbians’ content so I appreciate you tagging them! I’m on the very fair end and cooler toned and all this color seems to do is make me look ghostly 👻 or even paler than I am. I love Fenty’s lavender powder which does sem to brighten certain areas of my skin but I can’t get this to really work. I honestly don’t get who this was meant for and I’m pretty light skinned. I tried it as a base, a topper, a corrector, eyeshadow…it frustrated the hell out of me. Even a little bit of pearl or shimmer could have made it more usable, I think? I’m not a makeup artist but makeup is my therapy and I don’t need this kind of frustration. It’s truly stress relief and calming for me to play with makeup and try to use things in different ways and feel like I can get a lot of things to work that theoretically shouldn’t! I did like the small bit I accidentally blended into my hair though 🤭
Petition to rename it "corpsicle"
As a goth girl, I’d absolutely see myself reaching for that shade with that name! 😂
I’m on the absolute edge of the pale spectrum and I never find regular foundations my shade, so could’ve seen myself using this shade as a concealer or foundation mixer, but YSL missed the mark on this so bad so I won’t even bother trying it…
A fart of lavender in a tube should honestly be a shade name. Golloria was 100% right about the lavender blush, it doesn’t work on all skin tones like YSL claims. That’s false advertising and is so dishonest. I suppose this would be great for Halloween if I wanted to be a ghost.
My skin colour can best be described as Casper the friendly ghost. I couldn’t wear that blush
☠️ Damn so this was made for anyone alive😂
@@neffyg35A lot of living people do like the corpse look. I would totally buy this if they had not lied about it working for everyone.
I do think it's smart for brands to cater to all skin tones, not necessarily skin types. For example, Glossier used to get so much hate from the full coverage girlies just for being lightweight, saying it's only for people with "perfect skin" (not true, you're just not comfortable showing your blemishes). However, they made the mistake of moving into complexion products and having a lackluster shade range. That *is* an issue. They should've just stuck to "complexion enhancers" and minded their business.
A "fart" of lavender had me roaring with laughter! 😂
We needed this video!
Robert is one of the last sincere, honest makeup experts online (Lipstick Lesbians included) that I continue to trust...they tell it like it is!
😉💄😍
I wish companies would just be honest. If you're not going to create products for everyone just own it so people can make their own decisions. Just own that you suck.
I think with Robert absolutely loving the colour purple, he would know when something is or isn’t purple/lavender 😭
It's giving casket-ready type of white ... for my eyes
That color just looks cray cray on you!
I’d like to see that on pale skin, because I don’t think most people could wear that color. That is a ridiculous shade.
There was a tik tok creator that has albinism that tried it and it worked! That’s the only person I’ve seen pull it off.
Ah! I follow the lipsticklesbians already! I think their videos actually lead me to your channel. ❤
I really didn't see a difference until he put the actual purple one on hsi face and did a side by side comparison. That really is white! Maybe they should have marketed as a highlight.
Love learning from Robert. It's sweet when it's about other educators. Thank you Robert! 💜
Seriously, what are they doing?? They look like they are bringing out a line of colour correctors for lily white Irish people like me.
Honestly if it wasn't YSL I would get it for that😅 But between being just a crap company and being so insanely overpriced, I would never.
It can work for you though but that shade is for corrector or highlighter
it’s fine if they wanted to make a blush for pale skin (a lot of blushes without a white base are too much for me) but they should have marketed it honestly this is straight up false advertising 😭💀
I have so much yellow/olive undertones, I have tried *everything* including this. It only highlighted that I had tried to colour correct.
I feel your pain. I’m olive too and lavender is an awful color for us olives. I use the rare beauty blush in hope and love it. Joy is also really pretty. Most makeup tones that work for me are neutral cool and hard to find (they use so much red pigment in everything). There absolutely needs to be more education on olive tones-I won’t even ask to get matched anymore.
@@virgofairy88 Same here!
As an olive I like the Rhode juicebox pocket blush
@@virgofairy88 if you’re a light olive, Dior’s lilac blush is great-I’m a bit darker than James/Robert and the trick is to use a cheap, scratchy blush brush with it because a soft one won’t pick up enough pigment. Covergirl’s Pink Candy blush is also pretty and very natural, despite what it looks like in the pan (I actually use the included brush for the Dior).
Olive isn’t an undertone (cool undertones + warm overtones = a green or grey tinge, genuine olives always have cool undertones despite leaning towards neutral foundations). But if you have a very strong yellow tone to your skin, you might perceive it as olive; but what works for olives won’t work at all. If that’s the case for you, Japanese brands are excellent for flattering colors. Shiseido has a bunch of lip and cheek shades that’ll work beautifully!
Great video! I just watched the video by Lipstick Lesbians this morning. Its stunning how many hands it goes through. You nailed it> saying it works for darker skin when it doesnt. The only time Ive seen it work is straght up purple. Ive been using purple powder for years. It does brighten your look. Again, great video.
Robert you are so amazing, i love your videos and i respect your opinions so much. And besides that you are so funny, i swear, your sense of humor never fails to make me laugh. You can talk about everything and will watch❤
Thank you so so much! I really appreciate it! 🥹🖤🖤🖤
It needs to be said, I enjoy hearing Robert saying purple. It’s very asmr 💜
Just as I was thinking you said it. If I didn't already know it was a lavender colour I would have just assumed it was whitish grey-y tone. Every skin tone my arse.
Always live your forthright take on things!
I was shocked when I saw darceis's video and another video on this. It is white. It's not quite youthforia bad but stilllll. The luce purple one looks PURPLE!! 💜 I'm like vampire pale/fair and I don't think I'd use it. I'd get a purple. But maybe it would do up on few people. I but I think people will use this as a base to use it up cause it doesn't seem to do anything but whiten. The purple isn't really there enough. Just subbed to lipstick lesbians! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
“A whisper of lavender. A fart of lavender.” 💨 😩🫰 Pure poetry~
I've seen other brands show swatches, and on darker skin, it's barely noticeable. At least they are being honest. I don't see why it is so hard to be honest or honestish. It's so obvious when the swatches aren't real.
omg i looooove the lipstick lesbians! i always love hearing that my faves appreciate each others work 🥰
Hmm... In the ad the bottle is clearly lavender & the bottle you have is almost pure white 🤔
That’s another thing!, they almost made it more purple in their editorials
@@RobertWelsh Defenetly. I don't think any of the models are wearing this. It's a full on lie. I don't think even I could pull that color off.
Robert I lovvvvve you!❤❤❤
It astonishes me that this product got approved. Especially the colour as a blush! And I’m pale idt that would look good on me either
They may as well have sent white or gray paint. Just straight playing games with folks.
It's wild because just because of how colours work, not every shade is gonna look good on every skin tone? So long as you offer a good amount of shades that DO look good on darker skin tones, it's also fine to have ones that don't? Lying about it is SO wild
I got it as a brightener and it worked great. But the advertisement of showing the models of deeper skin tone is just ridiculous.
Yea it has some great uses
A “fahrt of lavender” is so much more elegant. I’m using fahrt from now on.
Hey yall! 💜💛💚
Ok it is damn near 2025. Brands have no excuse. For real.
100%
The Nuse was beautiful on you. Such a nice cheek sculptor
You would think after Youthforia brands would check themselves....but no. They KNEW wtf they were doing and blantanly did it anyway with absolutely no skcuf given.
They released 5 shades out of which one is this and three others suit the light-medium category with a strong white base. Even the "hot pink" looking shade is a bright pink that is better suited to medium skin tones. The only dark shade is a berry red.
It’s annoying that YSL makes one of my favorite perfumes because after this shit, I wouldn’t want to give my money to YSL. I hate being scent picky. 😒 I’m pasty AF, and this would look stupid on even me- I’m angry for those with deeper skin than me. The marketing/advertising on this product is shit. Like you said, call it a multi use product - instead of a blush that literally gives you almost the exact opposite of a blush.
Hopefully you can find a good dupe of the perfume 😞 I really like looking at all the profiles on fragrantica
Maybe they did that because fenty launched a purple cream blush but that actually shows up on darker skin and it actually looks pretty. Would love for you to do a swatch side by side. Thanks Robert! I love everything you do!
I've been wishing for a pasty-girl-friendly lavender blush for ages, so I could do the purple blush trend...
The monkey's paw curled a finger...
There are Korean ones, like the ones he showed early in the video, that are much better and not from a crappy company.
Always love your intro music Robert!! ❤❤❤
i love this blush because it works for the style of makeup looks i do but it was wrong of them to advertise it as suitable for all skin tones🙄🙄
Yea I own these shades as I show in the video but I don’t pretend it suits everyone! 😝
@@RobertWelsh anything would suit you though robert 😁
Hi Robert, sending you big hugs from Glendale, California. I totally agree because YSL is a high fashion house so we definitely expect the best. And you have always taught us that MakeUp has a theory. Naughty naughty YSL do better 😂
This type of color is popular in China and south Korea etc. It's a center of the face brightening shade to plump the cheeks. I am chinese and it made me look ashy because I'm not paper pale.
Hi Robert! I'm a very fair redhead and I have sometimes had issues getting products that work for my skin tone. I do want some color on my face so buying washed out tones don't work for me either. You are right that it could be used as a color corrector. Thank you for making this informative video.
I'm translucent and people will always tell me that colors are for everyone. Just because it shows up on me doesn't mean that it would possibly do anything positive for me. The ONLY time I have see that be true was those 8 Maybelline lipsticks a few years back.
Those were amazing!
Beautiful shade of victorian ghost!!xx
I first saw this used by a pale cool toned girly who I follow. Looked amazing on her and I got so excited. I’m very pale and very cool toned, very few blushes look nice on me, most pull orange. Then I saw this nonsense. I’m not buying anything from a brand that is lying to brown and black girlies just for some for sales. Just because it doesn’t affect me personally doesn’t mean it’s acceptable and that I’m going to bury my head in the sand and buy their products. Everyone needs to start holding these brands accountable with our money. Makeup is for everyone.
The way I clicked to watch this so fast. Can’t wait to see your thoughts on this.
I 100% agree everyone should follow the lipstick lesbians, they are awesome 👍🏻
I love their content
