Ok…. Dream matte mousse opinions……
Just no.😭
I literally used to trowel it on with my hand. Then they brought out the blush and I lost my mind, was like two parts of Neapolitan ice cream. But now, I'm tempted to go back 🤔👀
Awful. I used this when I was much much younger, and formula just “slide” on the skin. Also if you dry, it will show EVERYTHING 😐 never again
It's fine, we just hate it because we applied it badly, and newer formulations are better but for the time it was great and even now it's nice.
@@jamier9851 😂😂😂 Jamie!! Everything deserves a second chance!!
children, who have been alive for less than the amount of time you’ve been a pro MUA, telling you how makeup works is the most tiktok thing i’ve heard in a minute.
😂😂
I was about to say that as well. They hear one influencer who photoshops someone elses looks onto their face and uses excessive filters anyway explain the color wheel once and think they are a professional mua.
Hahahaha YESSSSS
I absolutely agree! Also your dog! Oh my goodness! 🥺😍❤
EX👏🏼ACT👏🏼LY👏🏼 PREACH
His face when trying to come to the terms with the fact he likes the dream matte mousse is just perfection 🤣🤣
And adding that we need to sit down and talk about it with him cuz it’s crazy 😆
It was never a bad product, it’s just the application
It is 100% the application and the persons skin type. It makes me look okay, but on my sisters skin it is just dreadful. It’s fickle.
My sister had it in high school she’s olive skin tone and I’m .. well I’m white as bird crap. But I loooved the finish and how it looked. I was so jealous. But now I only try and use cruelty free( no judgment to those who aren’t) it’s just my choice. So I don’t use maybelinne cuz they aren’t cruelty free. But I’m sure the dream mate mouse is still amazing
I loved that!!! LOL
I feel like a lot of peoples problem with the dream matte mouse is that we all got the wrong freaking shade and caaaaaaked that shiz on. 😆
Most times when people dont like something its because they are not using it the way it is recommended to use.
14 year old me, PALE, the lightest shade was so orange 😂 I had such dry skin, and I might as well have used a spatula to apply it. It was awful. I don’t think I could ever try it again. Went really well with that messy black kohl eyeliner, all the way around my eyes and all up in the waterline. Ooph.
Or some of them are transitioning from liquid foundation still and are trying to match that shade, which is probably still wrong getting that result. People like that need to realize that there are other ways to apply it, maybe the way Robert did it may kind of be the right way as the brush properly blends the foundation in a more subtle way that trying to use a bulky foundation/make-up blending sponge for the face. Being that it's a different formulation of foundation, after all.
@@PinkAgaricus Exactly!
Whenever I get a flashback to me teenage years, I start to wonder... How did we manage without brushes and sponges??! I mean depending on the product, fingers might be the best choice but some products really need buffing and blending, you can't just smack that shit on.
Now I'm flashing back to those shitty eyeshadow applicators, with a small sponge at the and that came with every eyeshadow palette. I'm still haunted by them.
Yesss and had no idea how to even put it on properly 😂
I love that the "I like the dream matte mousse" sounds like he's confessing to being an alcoholic lol like sorry sorry
I used it in high school and it was easy, coverage, cheap, not much available at the time (I mean this was 2001-2004) and I mean all we were doing then is trying to badly cover acne haha
About the YSL blush…
As a slightly “mature” makeup consumer, a long time ago (think emerging from the horror of our ‘80’s makeup) we were, as very young adults, introduced to brands such as Clinique, Lancôme, YSL and a host of others. It was such a welcome change from the gaudy neonesque makeup we’d been using, we felt so “classy” using it. So then we were expected to select a favorite brand, and become die hard fans (and I do mean DIEHARD). It became sort of a banner we waved with each other “oh, you use Lancôme? Pfffftttt…. I use **fill in the blank** 💅🏼
Myself, I’m was a Clinique girl (I didn’t have a lot of money to spare on ‘frivolity’ as some of those in my age bracket)”. It didn’t matter if say, their blushers, or their mascaras - were absolutely shit, we were LOYAL you feel me? We did. not. use. ANYTHING else. We took ridiculous pride that when our friends came over and snooped in our bathrooms, they saw a glorious, matching product display with no blemish of an off brand to be found…
Fast forward 20*something* years and suddenly there was this explosion of Indy brands, and our tidy little brand-whore existence was threatened. I’m just now, at 50, slipping in to Ulta to try brands like Colourpop and Benefit. All the while looking over my shoulder as if a contemporary of mine, and fellow Clinique Crone - would be waiting to berate me and scoff in my general direction for failing to keep faithful to “our” brand….
So I say all that to say this; Pricier Brands that have been in existence since **back-in-the-day**, didn’t have to rely on product quality as much as blind faith by their customers. When I go back and try some of my Clinique makeup (except their mascara, my God their mascara slaps) “I’m like wtf, this is shite!”
Newer Brands today HAVE to perform! And this is a goooooood thing! Maybe the Pricier Brands will take notice as their loyal customers flee in droves to Ulta despite our unfounded, silly fears, and continue to experiment with brands that actually HAVE to make makeup that performs, not just lazily exist because they can.
So yeah, I said it; I am a recovering “insert your snobby brand here” addict. And I’m here for it! 🙋🏼♀️
My mom was a Clinique counter girl at our local shop, and I used to go with her sometimes and use the samples to make looks on those little paper faces. I was maybe 8 or 9 😂 Clinique never became "my brand", but I think you just helped me explain why I tend to be drawn back to the same brands time and again and being hesitant to try other brands for the first time 😆
Thanks for the story. Really interesting and fun
I love this
@@angelalurtz3638 awesome! One of my good friends was a Clinique counter girl, that’s how we met actually. Probably one reason I became a “Clinique Girl” was all the free samples 😂
@@MariaMagdalenaBujor thanks, I felt pretty inspired by Robert (as always)! He’s one of the main reasons I try new things!
"Trying to save this. Quick! Dream Matte Mousse"
I need to store a clip of Robert saying "Quick! Dream Matte Mousse!" in my head to keep the demons away lol
I remember when every girl on my school including me smacked it onto pimples. It dried out so badly and we all used the wrong shade for our skin.. What a horrible memory 😂😂
I actually laughed out loud when he said this lol
literally came to the comment section to find this and like it. Best quote.
@@duhnay Righttt LOLLL
As a chocolate girl, Dream matte mousse had one of the earliest shades that somewhat matched me lol. So imma bit biased lol
It also accomodated people like myself, Casper the friendly ghost, and let me tell you that was a feat in 2010's Greece. Dream matte mousse was my jam in high school.
@@dreamystone mine too, but I have combo skin and it would cling to every single piece of dry skin and then turn into an oil slick in other areas. Also for some reason I was in denial than I was the absolute dead corpse skin tone I am and used to wear it slightly too dark and didn't realise you can put it on your neck. So I was just out here with aenemic ears and neck. The shame.
Same here!
as a really pale ginger it was the only onethat matched me!!! it was fine other than on dry patches and id buy more even now 😳
I mean it was literally the only brand that even had close to my mixed skin tone but I still didn’t like it. I only used it because there was nothing else
I love how Robert clarified what kind of "fine" it is because we all know James saying "fine" is not good 😅
Maybe Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse is the makeup equivalent of Nickelback. Like…it’s the cool thing to dislike it but it’s not really that terrible. 😬
Are you also Canadian? 😂🇨🇦
And sadly I was obsessed with Nickelback's music🤦🏼♀️
I don't think the Mousse is that bad, I think some people just caked it on lol However.. Nickelback is indeed awful XD
@@patriciazernone-wood5423 This is how you remind me of how I really am 🤣. I think it was a phase
@@Nat-hu4gq it was because emotionally we felt validated by the lyrics sending on the era you were in during their high time of Fame (no matter how short that fame was)😫😅
Robert using the provided blush brush for .023 seconds and immediately saying NO is my favorite 🤣
Honestly why do they waste materials and our money on those brushes we all hate? They're not fooling anyone! 🤣 Just put that money into better packaging or something we'll actually want/use! 🙄
@@nocontextwhatever or make the pan of blush actually fill up the packaging! That's like half a pan of blush extra we could have had!!
@@SpaceQueen44 exactly!! 🤦♀️
Tht shit killed me !!!
I would expect a better brush from expensive brands but no, it’s the same quality no matter the brand. 😂
I was dazzled by the solemn respect Robert gave that Hello Kitty(my melody bunny) lash suitcase with the rolly feet.
I prefer keroppi the frog but...yes
I used to be OBSESSED with hello kitty growing up. I’d save all my money and go to the mall and buy everything hello kitty lol.. tbh I still love it:) Can’t help it!
@@cherylmaden5989I love kerokerokeroppi.
@@PiXie232I was too, but it was 30+ years ago and so hard to find Sanrio stuff, and when you did it was too expensive! I had stickers and notepads I treasured so much I couldn't even USE them 😂 I ended up giving them to my daughter when she was the age I was when I GOT them. It's still crazy to me how Hello Kitty blew up in the US.
Essence is just the cheapest drugstore brand: they're not gonna be the best ever but for price quality ratio they have some great products. I've used their concealers/coversticks for years bc they just fit my skintone better than the more expensive brands
I love their matte powder (clear plastic, white-looking pressed powder) when I used to do more matte looks. I have their lash princess mascara and I love it! At first, i thought it was clumpy, but then I found out I can just brush through my lashes with a clean, old wand to help separate and it’s become my favorite formula.
Essence has the prettiest clear (with a little shimmer) lip gloss I’ve ever owned
i dread the day i won't be able to find my favourite essence concealer. it's gonna be a really sad day.
@@kintijaliepina9725 mood! The lady at the drugstore once told me they had issues ordering the coversticks n speculated it was bc theyd b discontinued, n istg,,,, no idea what i would have done. I use them daily to cover up blemishes for work, n if I want a good dupe itd get real expensive
@@cleolilleo doesn't rimmel still do a cover stick like that? Also your name sounds dutch so: hema's 'cover up stick' is pretty good!
I used to work for Benefit as an Account Manager and the big selling point of hoola was it's made with no red pigment so it's very flattering on many skin tones and can be used as brontour xx
That explains a lot! I love the undertone of Hoola because I'm really olive and most bronzers (even warm undertones) just look red in my skin while the hoola comes close to an actual bronzed look for my skin tone.
I am surprised to see Hoola here. That stuff used to be SUPER popular and it is still a great bronzer. I don’t get it lol.
@@potato-whiz I wanted it for years. Tried it last year. Performed like absolute trash on my skin and looked disgusting. Looked amazing on my best friend though. I had to conclude that it was due to me having multiple undertones in my face and hugely combo skin. I was so sad it wasn’t good on mine tho.
@@AngryBudgieNoises it’s just interesting because there was a time that it was so hyped and so popular by people with different, often lighter skin tones, and it was loved for its neutral, non-orangey tone. They really loved the stick too. I never tried it so I wouldn’t know. It’s just funny how the pendulum swings like that. The hype could have been Benefit paying the influencers too, the hustle used to be real with them lol.
I used to use this for years because of this reason but now it looks like dirt on my skin.
One of my cat’s favourite toys is the stupid tiny brush that comes with blush. I’ve had to buy so many wet n wild blushes for the brush for him 😂
Mine looooves my kabuki brush 😂
Thank you for using the correct brush for the Dream Matte. I used to love it when my skin type was oily (thanks teenage hormones), and I LOVED it because my uncle told me to use a fluffier powder brush with it. The formula isn’t meant for dense brushes or sponges unless you’re using it as a spot concealer. I wish Maybelline had been more clear about it so that people could see that isn’t a bad product at all. It’s a matte that even works for dry skin types as long as you apply it correctly.
Robert, you should honestly do a thorough trial of Essence products- they've recently updated their lineup as well and are now 100% vegan.
Plus they have come such a loooooong way and have become really good. (Same goes for Catrice but they share the same parent company so that explains that).
Do you know who the parent company is?
@@kathydixon3716 That’d be Cosnova
Princess Lash Mascara goes toe to toe with ANY expensive Mascara x
Essence matte bronzer for lighter skin is so good. I used to be a big fan of Benefits Hula light, but this one is better. It’s so much more pigmented and for like $5 can’t go wrong.
Essence pure nude highlight is just pretty.
I loved the “it’s fine but not the bad kind of it’s fine” about the Essence highlighter. Tone changes everything!
Yes👏🏼😅 I definitely needed that differentiation because otherwise would’ve written it off 😆
The one takeaway I have from this? The product depends on the person using it, and how they’re applying it. I feel like a really talented MUA can make almost anything look good. They know how to blend and buff, and correct product placement and correct application is everything.
Essence Lash Princess mascaras are Elite and we love them in this house. $5, a bunch of different options, no flaking, easy to remove with micellar water. Definitely include the lash princess in your full face please!
I really appreciate how you give tips and tricks to try and make these products work even with the bad rep they’ve got! 💜
Thank you!! 🖤🖤
he is the ultimate pro MUA - his advice do wonders :D
Really helps when you hate to waste anything!
@@RobertWelsh Leichner Foundation was my teenage go-to!
I recall going to the little fancy dress/theatre cosmetics shop to repurchase it - I can't remember what shade of 'Blend of...' I wore but I loved the stuff!
I'm late catching up with uploads but I was trying to remember what foundation I used as I never dabbled with Dream Matte Mousse!
xxxxxx
This is EXACTLY why I recommend Robert to anyone who asks about make up videos 🖤
The essence mascara lash princess sculpted volume is my only go to, I love it so much! I hope you do a full face of Essence! It’s a great brand.
So good and so affordable 💁🏻♀️
My favourite mascara I’ve ever tried, better than NYX!
@@harshdeep8835 I’ll have to try it, I’m always on the search for new brow products, thank you!!
I have yet to find a bad mascara from them! I also adore the soft contouring lip liner in the colour Big Proposal. It is my perfect nude lip shade (my lips are naturally pretty dark, but they "bleed out" in some ashy tones on the edges, so I add some pencil to even out the colour of my lips. The Big proposal pencil matches the inside of my lips so perfectly that it look like I am wearing nothing. It also holds the whole day).
Where do you buy Essence in the UK ?
I’ve use the dream matte mousse for years and loved it all this time. Always just applied with a sponge, minimal amount, and it’s always made my skin look so healthy and good. I wish everyone could’ve experienced it the way I did, I think it’s fantastic, especially for the price!
Yeah it's good if you have so called normal skin. But for oily skin, different story. It looks good for 2 hours and then it just starts to melt off and no amount of powder/previous setting spray is going to safe it 😜
@@saarapollonen8138 i never had this issue! i applied a very light layer and it always worked whether on my oily or dry parts! also, torille?
Most controversial and brave statement of 2021 "I like Dream matte mousse" - Robert Welsh
Essence is not ALL bad haha. I love their lip liners and actually the new hydrating foundation. Robert you should do a full face!!!
And their twist up eyeliners last me through my 12h shifts
Never thought I would say this but please do a wear test with the Dream Matte Mousse because now I'm intrigued!
The way he says he likes the mousse foundation like he's confessing some major sin.... LMAO I can't.
Bwahahahaaaa his comment on the YSL blush-“It was like, if you’re gonna talk about me I’m just gonna GO” 😂
I actually like how you used two different eye primers !! It’s definitely more of a fair and honest review !!!! I never liked how people try new products together because you never know what actually works or not. It’s important to do half a face of all things new and half a face with some holy grails.
I haven’t used a lot of Essence products but they do have some hidden gems. Like $3 lip gloss and $5 mascaras that are really good!
The Essence brow gel is my go-to, I always have several tubes around. I have nice full brows already, so I don’t need much, but I really love how it just organizes them, fills in the more spare areas, and keeps them shapely for the day. And it’s so cheap!
Zomg I love that essence highlighter pallet. And their extreme lash Mascara is amazing
You'll absolutely die for the Essence Shine shine shine glosses. They're STUNNING and not sticky at all!
This probably sounds weird but I love your scar. It gives you such a edgy look. It’s unique and make you stand out even more. Ahh your are just stunning. Okay done with the gushing now. Back to your regular scheduled program.
I completely agree, it adds a little extra to a beautiful face already kinda how I feel about freckle too
beauty is in the "imperfections" in these days of filters n everyone tweaking every selfie seeing someone look natural is a novelty .
At first I thought he did it on purpose. Years ago there was a trend where boys would shave out lines in there brows. When I first saw Robert I was thinking that trend was coming back around. I am such a dork.
I personally love scars that people can show and not hide.
His scar is his individuality 🥰
Robert did a swear - he LIKES DREAM MATTE MOUSSE. I didn't know you could still buy it. I need to know how long you kept the Dream Matte Mousse on........we need a proper 8 hour wear review.
I used to wear it and after about 8 hours I would look like a cake face, but if you looked after it, it was ok.
I still get tempted to buy it at times.
My country still sells this so yeah im confused how its unavailable in most other countries but here in the PH its still here 😅
It was the Australian middleschool standard and you always wore a shade darker than your skin and put it over your lips
I used to use the dream matte mousse everyday in eighth grade! Then a month ago I saw a girl on TikTok trying it again and loving it, so I bought it again. It’s friggin good. Especially if you warm it up in your skin with you fingers first then blend with a brush 😍
The thing with dream matte mousse is, some of the shades oxidised really badly… and with not many shade options we were using what was closed to our skin tone and turning orange… also we didn’t use concealer back then… so we just piled it on. But… it does have the most beautiful finish when applied with a light hand and that’s why it’s still available today
Every time I think Robert looks EXTRA Handsome, He’ll mention how doesn’t look good that day?? 💜☺️💜
SAME!!
I really liked this video. Essence has some hits and a few misses like most brands. Some items just needed to be applied a little differently than how we usually apply these products. I swear some high end products just suck!
I just recently ordered from them after hearing great reviews on a couple YT channels. I quite like the pretty natural foundation, but I think I got a bad tube of 040, as it goes on like a clay mask. The 030 is good. My big pet peive with essence is the lack of color variety in eye liners, and masscara. I don't wear black as it looks to severe on me, but that's all they offer. The eyeshadow (bought the green palette) is okay.
I love the mascaras from Essence. My eye lashes are sooo straight and their mascaras help me keep a curl in my lashes.
Their melted chrome shadows are AMAZING and I'm trying their fresh and fit foundation which, surprisingly I don't hate, the color is spot on for my casper coloured ass, it's not too full coverage and lasts most of the day☺️. Ive heard their mascara can be hit or miss so I have passed on all of them, mainly because I'm loyal to fentys full frontal, it's my ride or die x
I love Essence products! Their lip glosses, mascaras and lashes are amazing! However, most of their eyeshadow palettes are hits and misses. Their shimmers are always stunning but their matte colours are mostly chalky and ashy and has 0 pigment. Summary for me...yes to most products but no to the matte eyeshadow palettes😁🧡
I love their lipstick! and the hallo Berlin palette is great
Robert said: "Justice for Dream Matte Mousse!" 😂 It does look good on you though! I've honestly never used it, but I remember seeing it EVERYWHERE when I was in high school.
Dream matte mousse was literally my first foundation product I ever bought. This is so nostalgic and I know exactly what you were smelling when you mentioned it!
Essence has a lot of great products. I love their Lash Princess mascaras (the purple one and the green one), face powders, blushes, highlighters, bronzers, eyeshadow are great and their lashes!!! The Lash Princess lashes are amazing - very natural and super lightweight and so easy to apply - an absolute dream for a small faced person like myself.
The green lash princess mascara is my absolute favorite too, it’s been my go to for months now
I use the pink lash princess mascara. I love it. I'm gonna have to try their blushes and bronzer. I am always on the lookout for good and affordable products!! Thank you.
I live for the blue waterproof one. Essence have awesome products and so affordable. I can't wait to see Robert test them out and get his opinion. 🙂🙂❤
Enjoyed seeing you on the Fenty channel! You're everywhere & I'm living for it! 🖤💜🖤
Thank you! 🖤🖤
Absolutely! I approve this message😌 Very exceptional!! 🖤🖤
Down for some extra Robert content🖤
💯🖤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🎉 ♥️🔥
Fun fact I only learned that Fenty is Rihanna’s last name like a week ago.. I know..don’t say it… 😳🤪😂
I actually love essence. They're cruelty free and really affordable
The Essence Waterproof Eyeliner Pen is one of my holy grail products. Stays on while swimming or crying, doesn't smudge, doesn't feather into fine lines. Hands down a favorite.
Cry test is the best test
I agree about liking my eye primers to have a pigmented base. I've got super pale skin which means all the veins in my eyelids are VERY visible if I don't put something down to even the tone out first :')
Lol same. So pale I'm almost transparent 😅
LOL. I am pretty pale and I have tiny little freckles. If I use clear primer, it looks like my eyeshadow is smudged or spotty because of the freckles. I definitely need some color in the primer!
SAME. I have to have an eye primer with some color to it. Otherwise it's pointless and I'll use my, gasp, concealer. 🥴
RoseandBen warms up the Dream Matte Mousse with her fingers before going in with a brush and it looks flawless.
I trust her and Robert only.
Yes! I saw her using it and I was shook at how beautiful it looked. I was like, “How is this the same product I used to use?!”
Rose is amazing!!!
She doesn’t bother disclaiming when anything is sponsored or in PR. I messaged her about it and she was like “I say thank you in my stories when I get something in PR” girl WHAT? You need to be transparent and saying thank you is not enough 😂
There are some AMAZING Essence products, like their pure nude highlighter, their iconic mascaras and more recently their Pretty Natural foundation. I'd love for you to try them out as a one brand review 💛
Essence is actually really good you just need to pick the right products .. my favorites are:
Lash princess the green one and the purple one
I heart extreme the black one
( wipe these mascaras once before applying them unless you want a clumby look)
All of their blushes
Their natural glow highlighter
Pure nudes highlighter
I feel like YSL lipsticks are much better than any other imakeup items from them lol. They honestly nailed one thing and fail everything else
Really REALLY looking forward to the full face of Essence!
Me too!! 🙂❤
“Natural doesn’t mean nothing!” gosh, i adore you ! so funny 😂
The look Robert gives his computer when it dings before he puts on the highlighter 😂
I also love "I like dream matte mousse" like it's a confession at a Make-up Anonymous meeting! 😂💜
Also COOL SHIRT!! 🤩
"actually it's like 10..9 year old doing makeup for the first time" lmao 😂 I'm a mom of four teenage daughters and yes they are soooo far advanced in makeup then I ever was. What I'm doing now at 41 they've been doing since 12. Like super talented. Craziness.
I LOVE the KVD Shake Primer!!! I use it on my nose for primer before foundation!! I use to have such trouble keeping my foundation from separating on my nose but NOT anymore!!! Great hack!!!
I love it for my eyelids because I have SUPER dry skin
@@DehydratedHumor i think you have to have super dry eyekids to like it. Sam Ravndahl loved it.
I love it for my eyes! I think the tricky part is to get it out of the bottle before it separates. I recently realised that you don't have to actually cover the nozzle or have the lid on when you shake it.
@@DehydratedHumor it works well for my normal eye skin aswell
I loveeee the Essence bronzers, blushes and highlighters! The sit nice on my skin and the tones of them are perfect for me.😄
tbh I love essence! They have some misses (for example eye shadows or nail polish) but oh my god - they were one of the first very affordable colourful eyeliners I stumbled across ages ago when I was still in school, some of their mascaras are just so good and some of the blushes as well, and my personal favourites - the mosaic compact powder (which I use as a bronzer) and the matte compact powder have been my go to for ages! Would love to see full face of essence for sure!
Robert could do a purple look every video and I'd still watch every single one of them 💜💜
Saaaame
He pretty much does 😂
I'm colourblind (for instance, purple often looks pink or brown) but even I'd still watch every purple look 😂😂
I was so excited to see you on Fenty’s channel!!!! Woot woot! 🥳
Thank you!! 🖤🖤
@@RobertWelsh you deserve all the good that comes your way 🖤✨💜🌒
Okay I think Robert needs to do a makeup look with the 'techniques' and application we were all guilty of doing in the mid to late 2000s with classic old makeup products. I was guilty of a black thick emo liner on the bottom AND top lids, too pale foundation (dream matte mousse all the way!) blush in a perfect circle on the apples of my cheeks, black and red eyeshadow and brown glittery bronzer 🥲
I love essence!! Their mascara, the highlight, their foundation, their blushes!!
their lip glosses and eye makeup brushes are nice too🥰
Since you mentioned that you want to do a full face of essence here are some recommendations:
- The new Skin Lovin‘ Sensitive concealer is great, looks natural while providing enough coverage to even out the skin beautifully
- The Camouflage Concealer is lovely if you want a more heavy duty concealer, I managed to cover up my brothers tattoo using it
- The fresh & fit foundation is by far their best one imo
- The All About Matte Fixing Powder sets the face without making it too flat and powdery
- The blushes are like any other blushes tbh, great lasting power but they usually turn out a bit pinker than they look in the pan
- The 24Ever Eyeliner Pen is one of the best eyeliners I‘ve ever used and I‘ve pretty much tried every drugstore and high end eyeliner you could get where I live
- The liquid lipsticks are too drying and crumble but the This is Me lipsticks look really nice and the colors are very flattering
- The Watermelon Setting Mist is super refreshing, smells amazing and does it‘s job really well :)
I would also add:
- the mascaras! (all of them! But especially the Lash Princess and I love extreme series)
- Soft contouring lip liners (especially my favourite colour Big Proposal)
- Make me brow eyebrow mascara/tinted gel
- Inner eye brightening pen (i.e., the creme pencil for the water line)
I love the mist!
@@berlineczka the purple and the green lash princess mascaras are amazing!!
I'm so confused how people don't like essence they're mascara are great and really cheap, they're blush have a building pigmentation like they're bronzer which btw i love cause it's the only one light enough for me🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ probably depend the country you by them i guess
I love their mascara. Its so good
Yeah, I'm not even that pale and I can't wear most bronzers, but Essence is the first I've found that is light enough and not straight up pink or orange, lol. The days of looking like I'm either severely sunburnt or looking like an Oompa Loompa are gone lol.
The essence mascara flakes on me so badly! I don’t know what it is but it just doesn’t work on my lashes.
@@Luck.y_lulu it flakes on me too!
@@Luck.y_lulu it's really surprising to see how the experience with a product can be totally different from a person to an other😊
“It’s shit, I’m glad it’s gone” laughed so much. And when you said you like the foundation. I kind of feel like all the teenagers now must use the way we used it it to experience what we experienced once
Dream matte mousse was my first foundation. I was 14 (I think). I got the wrong colour and I used it like concealer on my breakouts which just looked like splotches of orange on my face. It looked awful with my black pencil liner around my eyes. all I had for tools were my fingers, those stupid white sponge things, and a powder brush I stole from my mom lol
Robert please try the new catrice foundation everyone is raving about it and i honestly think its the absolute WORST ... like im sad i even spent money on it... and maybe im just stupid and not using it right but the catrice true skin foundation is awefull just aweful
I don’t think I’ve tried anything from them! I will have to try!
I totally agree!!! It’s too full coverage and it makes me shiny after a couple hours. I don’t even have oily skin. Makes every pore stand out. Have you tried the Essence Pretty Natural foundation yet?! Hands down my new holy grail. It’s the most amazing foundation I’ve ever worn! And it’s 8.99 in Canada.
Oh my Yes!
Perfect shade match, everything else just awful 😂 the concealer is okay though, but that’s my general experience with Catrice.
I did not like it. It was too full coverage for my personal taste. My skin is dehydrated oily, some days my skin cooperated with a tiny amount. Other days it clinched onto dry spots and T zone was oily
When you do these reviews are you able to turn the brightness down and show us how it’s sitting in your skin so we can get a better idea of the texture? Similar to how Sophdoeslife does. Not sure if it’s possible with the set up and if you’re willing to do it, but it would make it easier for me to determine whether I think a product might stand a chance of performing well on my skin 😊
Watch on your tv and turn the brightness down ☺️☺️
Watch on the TV??!! Rather than your phone? 😮😮😂😂
@@pennycandyys yeah, makes for a better watch ☺️
Only smart tvs tho
@@pennycandyys lol I started doing that and you can see everything. I love how you can see the makeup on their skin and it’s not all airbrushed looking.
“If you’re gonna talk to me like that, I’m just gonna go.” -blush to Robert, probably
Essence is my go to makeup. I like natural, sheer makeup that’s gooey and dewy. And I get exactly that from Essence. I’m super happy with it.
ROBERT! Please try the Essence Pretty Natural foundation. It has become my absolute favourite! I’ve tried so many different kinds from high end to drugstore and in my opinion nothing beats that foundation. It blurs pores and doesn’t sink into fine lines. Lasts all day! Even under my mask.
I am new to using the pretty natural foundation. I ordered two tubes in 040, and 030. The 040 might be "bad"/old as it goes on like a clay mask. It does ok mixed with the 030. I think I'd love it if both were the more fluid consistency.
@@dmreddragon6 yeah you must have bought one that’s dried out or something. I have 090 and 050 that I mix. They’re both very fluid.
Wanted to like it but it sits in my pores sadly and made my skin feel greasy
Holy crapola, that Record foundation from Benefit was a DEEP CUT! You’ve unlocked some super buried memories for me!!
I loved that foundation! I almost forgot about it.
@@blueskies90 me too! I had such a visceral reaction to Robert mentioning the packaging!
You need to give Essence a fair go Robert!!! Their Princess Lash Mascaras are A M A Z I N G. Literally leaves me in shock at a $4.99 price point, FLABBERGASTED at the wear of the lengthening mascara!
“Anything from essence”…… they actual have some good products. The liquid black eyeliner is something i have repurchased a lot, also mascara. And a few lipsticks too
My absolute all time favorite highlighter (in particular for a natural glow) is the Essence Pure Nude highlighter. And I've got a drawer full of high end highlighters that I like less. When you do a full face of Essence, I highly recommend that one! I also really like Essence lipsticks! OH and the essence shine shine shine lip gloss in behind the scenes (clear) is so good for a wet look lip gloss. The only other lip gloss I like better is Lunar Beauty's.
Essence has a great honey range, I love the honey primer and highlighter palette, great tones especially for POC. Lasb princess Mascara is super as well. The eyeshadow palettes are trash though.
10:14 Can already imagine mad James yelling "ROBERT YOU CANT BE F'KING SERIOUS!!!!?"
Using the proper application tools is SO IMPORTANT!! The DM Mousse is something I’ve liked for years. It is great when you apply it properly
Not the dream matte mousse! 😂 In the early 00’s I had a dream matte mouse eyeshadow in a weird dirty turquoise colour and I just used to smear it on with my finger. No mascara or any other makeup!!
I love from Essence The Blush in the color Be Fitting. It's like $4 US and stays on all day for a matte powder blush. Also their clear gloss is so shiny n gorgeous also for a few $$ Best clear gloss to me over lux brands. Love u Robert even though u loved the Dream matte lol😁🤓😍❤️✌🏼️
Yes!! Their glosses are delish!! I especially love the peachy coloured one (can't remember the name at the moment) I had forgotten about those, imma have to dig them out and start using them again. Thanks for the reminder 😊.
Oh Robert, you are SO gorgeous, especially when showing your hello kitty collection! ♥️
I’m so glad you like the NYX Marshmallow primer too! And it also proves it makes any foundation sit nicely on the skin, even Dream Matte Mousse!!
I'm so in love with the background 🥺🖤
Can’t wait for the full face of Essence!
Love the stay all day foundation and the new six pan pallets! Hate all their mascaras 😬 they are just clumpy and flake on you in a matter of hours.
You should do a full face of Catrice also!
Finally someone that hates essence mascaras too. I thought i was the only one on the planet.
@@veganMakeupKAOS they are terrible and I’ve tried different ones. I can’t believe that they don’t flake on other people besides me 😬
Omg the hello kitty lashes the freaking suitcase DYINNNGGG
You made Dream Matte mousse look amazing! You used such a great technique I would never think of using that kind of brush. You teach me so much !!
Oh man, I love that KVD shake primer! Fairly oily lids and it holds up well for me. Especially under MAC paint pots (groundwork, mainly) to increase the longevity. Works well for that, at least!
The colour pop roller gloss instantly reminded me of the roller one you used to get in Claires! Pinky red colour and smelt of strawberries ❤️ I have been on the fence about whether trying dream matte mousse again and now after watching this I'm seriously considering it.....
Aww poor essence, I think they have a lot of good, really affordable products
I bought that same essence highlighter palette when I was training, simply because it was affordable. I absolutely loved it, and now I always have one in my kit.
Love this look... I received this palette in Boxycharm sometime last year I believe, or earlier this year, I'm not sure but I was pleasantly surprised and fell in love with it. I've seen a few other recent reviews on the Dream Matte Mousse and they've mostly been positive. It definitely doesn't oxidize and turn oompa loompa orange like it used to 🤣
Was it really the dream matte mousse turning us into oompa loompas or was it all the damn bronzer we used lolllll
You crack me up. "Well, actually now it'll be like nine ten year old using makeup for the first time". Great video. Loved it.
I love essence! So affordable and great products! The lash princess mascara is one of Bailey Sarian's favorite, she always raves about it.
Taylor Wynn actually ended up kind of liking it too when she did her 15 days of foundation. So funny that it's not so bad when applied correctly 😂
Maybe that kvd eyeshadow primer would be better as a loose eyeshadow mixing medium? It seems like it’s similar to those inglot drops
Hmmm. 👀
I think Inglot Duraline is not so oily. But never used KVD so I might be wrong
I have that primer and never thought to try it like that🤷♀️ it’s not actually that oily though. It’s super weird and different but it’s the only eye primer that has ever stopped my hooded eyes from creasing. It gets super super sticky after a few minutes so nothing budges. I’ll try mixing it with some loose eyeshadows today and see how it goes! Lol
I love Essence ! Their contour pallete, mascaras, highlighters , eyeshadow primer , and few others things I have tried have all blown me away especially with the price
I love the Marshmellow primer, everything Essence, especially the Pure Nude highlighter…..BUT the Dream Matte Mousse makes me look like I’m a thousand years old. 🥰🥰🥰
sooo glad you're spilling the tea on high end luxury products. I began to realize my kiko cosmetics bronzers are very much like hoola ones but with a chocolate (because some of us don't have that pale tone that when it tans it becomes naturally Orangeee) undertone. I kind of like the blush from Benefit (first ever Blush I bought and it's...kind of nice, but the brush that came with it...Oh LAWD! tHAT was just sad)
I adore the marshmallow primer. Glad you liked it too!!
I bought Dream Matte Mousse after watching this video and….I liked it too. 🤦🏻♀️ I use it very sparingly and apply it with a brush. It’s so quick, easy and makes my skin look great. The one main thing though is I HAVE to make sure I have recently exfoliated and use a good primer beforehand. It is not forgiving.
Yeah I agree the Hello Kitty packaging looks lit! So cute!
Ok literally love you talking about the red under eye thing because one of my very old "hacks" was putting red lipstick under my eyes
