I have a tinted DM Blurring balm I think shade 2. I just use it on my T zone and spread it towards outer perimeter of my face and do pin point concealing where is needed😄 Edit: I find it blending better with fingertips!
Please point us to what the actual difference is in the new Loreal true match serum versus their normal? I mean, from the ingredients it looks like the same thing but gosh the colour ranges are disappointing in the serum 😔 your recommendation of true match has been a game changer for me (undertone pink) so thank you ❤
i use the tinted blurring balm on the outside of my face and blend inwards with a kabuki brush. i scoop the product out with the spoon and swipe it directly on my face. however i do use a skin tint beforehand, and i just like the extra coverage it gives. i definitely don’t apply it directly by my oily nose though 😂 plus i recently went back to the translucent shade to prime my t-zone funnily enough. i use my fingers and dab it in
Have you tried using less, warming it in your fingers and then applying with hands? Try applying it more like a blurring primer than a foundation; push it into the skin as opposed to brushing it on. It's not really a foundation imo

Too bad the idea is wasted on poor execution. No reason the button shadows couldn't at least be normal size, buttons come in all sizes lol
I love the DM Balm in Universal and apply as a primer with my fingers first every time, I love it. The cookie tin…like@Maja-mj5bd said “it’s sooo stupid” and I don’t love it, at all 😄😄
@@LunarEleven😂😂 Every house had one of those exact cookie tins with a sewing kit inside. My mom, and my Grandma had one. My mom probably still does this😂
Anytime I buy the cookies, I sometimes forget I did and whole heartedly expect those damn sewing supplies 😂 especially since we have one with sewing supplies
To make the balm foundation work on my skin I squish my beauty sponge into the product and pick a small amount up and then pat into the skin. For extra coverage I’ll spot conceal over top of that. I find that you cannot build multiple layers of it otherwise you’ll look both dry and greasy at the same time. Very finicky overall but man it controls my oils.
I tried layering it the first time I used it and it became greasy. I’ve found that a tiny amount works best. I have oily skin. I’ve worn it about 3-4 times now. I bought mine about two weeks ago. I’ve been using a foundation buffing brush. It definitely looks better when you tap the brush into the product and then apply it to the face and tap/buff it in. I’ll have to try the sponge method next.
I have oily skin and love the foundation. I build it up with a damp dense foundation brush. Then I set it with loose powder and some micro smooth from Sephora.
@@introvertednigeriangirl4865 exactly. I like to use the Evian spray since it’s just water. Same as you would a beauty sponge. But yes the brush needs to be damp.
My grandma had sewing supplies in a cookie tin just like that, complete with the tomato pin cushion. Seeing that palette, I can actually smell my grandma's sewing supplies and the drawer she kept them in. 😢 But... I would have bought it despite it being hard to afford rn and Robert saved me from that. The colors aren't anything special either so it would have ended up being a waste anyway, instead I will get a cookie tin, eat the cookies, and use it to store some makeup supplies 💜 all the nostalgia for a couple bucks.
I use the Danessa Myricks balm as a primer or sometimes use a bit of it as powder to set my faces in areas that i get a little oily throughout the day. It works ok, but not my favorite.
I use the balm foundation under foundation as a primer where I get most oily, it works amazing like that! Just a small amount in my T-zone and around my nose ❤
This is my fave type of video ❤️❤️❤️ not sure why, but seeing you look at a product with both a critical perspective of it as well as a critical perspective of your own understanding of it is just sooo informative (and for some reason, entertaining, too)
Loving how many videos we are getting every week! Love your twin channel too you and james always have me and my husband in stitches, we are from the uk too so we absolutely love all the sarcasm! I suppose thats what we are known for 😂❤
For my DM- I use the universal as a primer with the Sephora foundation brush to buff all over face. Then I go with my color- I love the new 8.5. I use the scoop to put about 4 shmears on my face then take another foundation brush and push swirl. I get so many compliments every time I go out with it.
One thing that I have discovered watching Robert for a long while, we have similar skin tones and eye color. I'm a hair lighter but what he uses for shadows, looks good on me too. (This is awesome for colors I always thought I couldn't wear, like blue.) Just another way Robert Welsh videos help my makeup game so much. Thank you, Robert!!😊
If your eyelids are irritated you may have blepharitis. In the US we have an eyelid/lash cleanser called Occusoft. The UK may have a different product but this one is very good - doctor recommended. The sterile pads will help heal your eyelid and are great for the lashes too. If you can, stop the eye makeup until it’s cleared up. We’ll watch any content you put out, it doesn’t have to focus on eyes. Feel better.
i use the balm powder not so much as a foundation but rather a finisher.. like, i conceal, use liquid blush, apply skin tint, and then go in with the balm on the outside of my face with the kabuki brush to make everything blend even more seamlessly. it is finicky and i don’t use a lot. also i only powder my t-zone so there’s not as much texture laying on top of the product. hope this helps, and given how fickle the product is, some days it won’t work with my skin if there are dry patches
I’ve tried that foundation as well and same problem as you. It just sinks into my pores and enhances all the texture. As a fellow oily person I would love to see a GRWM of your go to products. I too love the Haus Labs foundation but what concealer, blush, etc do you continuously gravitate to?
I’m so sorry about your eyelid. 😢 The same thing was happening to me for years-eczema on my lids. I finally got patch tested for allergens and found out I was allergic to some common ingredients in skincare. You might want to see an allergist. Sending love ❤
For the Dynessa Myricks balm, I have the clear and use it ONLY on my very oily spots (between by brows and chin near my nose). I apply it as a base using my fingers then use foundation. Using it as an all over base does not work. Left my foundation very patchy.
Oh Dear Robert, some of us take your word as gospel! Bless for giving Kara a 2nd chance but it’s still a no for me. Thanks for saving me money. Love&Blessings from 🇺🇸, Bella
Seriously love how you always give things a retry and not only that often say … while it may not work for me that doesn’t mean it won’t work for you or if you like it. Makes me want to put more makeup on my face.
I figured out what the cookie tin eyeshadows reminded me of: Necco Wafers -- also dry and dusty and about the same size. Interesting how you don't like the blurring balm. I have hellaciously dry skin but sweat enough to fill a pool in summer, so I use it in summer on well prepped skin and love it. You use a heck of a layer there though. I make it a light layer with synthetic kabuki and buff, then a dust of powder on my redder areas. Maybe if you treat it more like a primer?
I stand by my comment on the other video, dry dusty crusty eyeshadow tin, no thanks. The way the shimmer sits is not great. On top of the fact the whole pallet is giant tin shaped and takes up way too much space for how little shadow you get in it.
The DM blurring balm in universal is a must-have to get my oily skin through summer. I could not get the coverage versions to work on my skin, which made me sad! But I love it as a mattifying primer.
So interesting… the ‘viral’ NDenona concealer creases like mad on me. But the haus labs is my fave. Really shows how each product differs for everyone.
If you use make up glue (not eyelash) for your shimmers, then apply them by patting on with a finger, you will get a much stronger look out of your shimmers. Denitslavia is who I learned this from and it works really well.
💜Robert i love your two Channels soooo much. I LOVE your sense of humour and opinions. And you are the only person that matters to me when i want to see something about makeup. Thanks. 💜
i really appreciate you giving products second chances. i've personally only ever seen one other content creator do the same and i wish it was more common!
I have the translucent Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder, and though I haven’t used it a lot yet, I think it’s best as a primer (including eyelids) or to use your finger and spot set the areas of your face most prone to getting oily after foundation. I don’t think it really works well as a foundation or was really intended to be used as a foundation.
Hello, Robert! Have you tried applying the Danessa Myricks Yummy Balm Powder with your fingers. I quite like it applied almost as if it is a moisturizer/spf. And I swear the texture is not as matte when applied this way on properly moisturized skin.
Products I hate that so many people love - Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, Chanel Rouge Allure Mascara, Chanel Rouge Coco Baume. To me, the lip balm and concealer are so drying and the mascara did nothing! Definitely don’t recommend them!
That Danessa Myricks foundation is so difficult to use. I’ve found that using your fingers to pat in a light layer is the only way it works, but don’t put more than one layer otherwise it immediately looks cakey.
Hi Robert. I think maybe you’re using too much. I have the DM Balm in the Universal and shade 3. When I use the shade 3 as a foundation, I use my fingers and go in lightly then use my Nars pot concealer to cover any spots that need extra help. I get a very skin like finish and it holds my oil at bay! I hope you find a way to use and love it ❤
I have tried soooooooo much of a variety of drugstore/high end ( I can't afford it myself so it's whatever I've gotten in a beauty box such as ipsy by boxycharm) and I have found that they will ALWAYS be drying/ very obvious under my eyes. I'll hydrate and do my best to slightly color correct and use very little concealer but the end is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the same. I will lightly set it with powder because anything under my eyes will crease. So, if #robertwelsh OR Anyone Lol has any suggestions .....PLEASE let me know. Thanks in advance. Much love from Canada (Montreal, QUEBEC ).
I have a love/hate relationship with Tarte shape tape. When I was a dancer it was perfect for me because NOTHING would make it budge. However, it really dried my skin. And it’s really heavy. Now Im retired and just want a natural look, I found pūrlisse Perfect Glow BB concealer. I love it SO MUCH. it is highly blendable, and buildable. It melts into my skin like another thin layer of skin, and matches my skintone better than any foundation or concealer ive ever used. It doesn’t dry me out OR make my face greasy. It feels like im not even wearing it. And so because of all those reasons I dont even need a foundation! I FEEL LIBERATED. 😂
Danessa Myricks Foundation (all of them) is Amazing!!!!! Try to think about what moisturizer you are putting before (maybe they do not pair together) and use AHA tonic (I loved "REN" ready steady glow) before starting your skincare routine, and then try the yummy skin powder foundation. 🥰😍🤩😍🥰
Robert, just wanted to say thank you and good on you for speaking up with Glamzilla for...well, you know, That's why we love you, trust you and support you💜🖤 I've been here since the start and am looking forward to seeing you grow and grow in 2024! Lots of love x
To be fair I believe that's the Blurring Balm Powder that you're using. It's not her foundation. I have seen mixed reviews on the Balm Powder as well. I have not tried it, but have used her Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint (which is basically a tinted moisturizer) and I really love it. I would also recommend trying any of the Colorfix cream pigments. There are 6 formulations, basically all different finishes. I have tried all but the Glaze and they are AMAZING. A little goes a long way with her products I've noticed too.
#robertwelsh, could u possible link the brushes (or at least the types /shape / texture) as well as the products used in the videos? Thanks in advance. Much love from Canada. (Montreal, QUEBEC)
Okay, I could be a Grandma but I'm not. I have one of those cookie tins in my kitchen🫢. You have the patience of a saint Robert Welsh. I wouldn't have given those another round......💜😧💜
Hey Robert... how are you sweetie!... I'm so sorry I havnt been able to comment for so long I had an issue with My keyboard of all things! Anyway, the eyeshadow is something i will not be investing in at all... nor the foundation as even on camera with your lighting I could see what you meant, as with the concealer. Disappointed for you hon as I could see you really wanted them to work 😢😢 I have quite fine textured skin so they probably wouldn't work for me anyway. Loving the RobertReacts which I subed to a bit back! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I personally am above-average with my application skills (after forty years of doing it daily and always working on learning more about makeup, and trying new products all the time) but there was NO way I could get the Danessa Myricks Yummy skin balm to work for me. I gave it many chances and watched so many videos on ways to apply it, I tried several different products and ways to prep my skin in advance and NOPE. I have oily/combo skin and obvious pores in my T zone and wished this would work the way it’s “supposed to”, according to all the hype. I returned it. Not work the hassle, when, as you pointed out, there are so many other products that work great already and aren’t so tricky and unreliable.
I have tried the Catrice True Skin foundation a bunch of times. First it wasn't the right shade, and also looked dry and showed every nook and cranny on my skin. I tried adding a hydrating primer....didn't help. Mixed in the elf halo glow primer/base product. Still a bit dry texture, still not a great shade match. Mixed in a bit of physicians formula liquid bronzer, helped the shade, helped the dryness but it was still heavy. Ugh. I wanted so badly for it to work!
I just recently found your channel. In fact, it’s today and now im trying to binge on all your videos. However, I do have a question. When you give us the prices of products, will you please mention the cost in dollars as well as pounds? I’m American and I don’t know how to convert pounds to dollars. You would think at my age I would know how to convert, but alas I do not. So please……. I’m an RN, CANP and I deal strictly in English.
This looks( the cookie tin) like something my grandma would've given me to play with when i was 10. She kind of viewed makeup like watercolor paint..lol adorable creative grandma❤ i miss you🥰 to be fair she was a pretty good oil paint artist. I still have some of her art, and furniture my grandpa made and she painted. Ah hell now i miss em both😂❤
Thanks for the vid ..mmm choices lol I like Randomnautica, animal attacks, strange and mysteriouse happenings,conspiracy theories, corrupt police caught on cam to name a few lol😂😅.. what ever you decide to do it will be brill and we will all be on the journey with you 😊❤ .. all the best and look forward to seeing your new visa in future 💗😊👍🤔😀
Robert, I use the DM Blurring Balm as a primer & apply with fingers only. I apply it to my oily areas as it will absorb excess oils. I also apply it to my redness & it takes down the red, meaning I don’t need as much foundation. The best technique I’ve found is to push it into your skin with your fingers & always follow with foundation. Hope that helps.
…OT but I just read your replies on the “should I try James Charles makeup?and Jeffrey Starr’s?” tikTok… lemme tell you,you’re so SO SO SO mf right! a true hero🙏
I appreciate that you've given these products a second go! For the DM foundation, maybe try using less and building it? Keep us updated with your efforts to make it work, please! I'm curious 🍿😆
OH I had countless of palettes not working for me until I found out my problem. Everything needs to be muted for me, despite me liking bright/colors that pack a punch. I can't use warm shades on their own because they get too warm really fast. Cool shades can get too harsh when too pigmented. So whenever I do have a product that is too harsh, I try to either warm it up or cool it down with other shades in the palette to create a bit more of a muted/neutrally ground. Took a while for me to figure out you can do that LOL. LIKE A LONG WHILE D:
I have a hard time with the scent of the DM Balm as well (and her other foundations). I had it in my pro kit and my clients were not fans either and I had to take it out. The way I’ve been able to use the balm (the CLEAR only) has been in the TINIEST amount and only in the T Zone as a primer or on no makeup days for a bit of oil control. I’ve tried so many different skin prep methods and just haven’t been able to make it work to my liking (given all the effort required). So sad!!!
I like Yummy Balm Powder (universal) best as a primer under cream foundations. Otherwise, I’ll use the tinted version on no-makeup makeup days to even out my complexion and keep oils at bay. Setting spray and loose powder are incorporated for both applications as well.
Robert have you tried Unearthly cosmetics yet? I got their fall magic palette and I think you’d be obsessed. The duochrome shimmers are INSANE and the mattes are beautiful too
My issue with the DM foundation was that it kinda flaked or had like a crumbling thing going on. I have oily and have never had that happen before. To be fair im not sure i use the best brushes so maybe that was it.
A little disappointed in the cookie tin palette! Don't love the way they designed the layout of the pans. IMO, it looks like someone threw up a bunch of shapes into it. I wish they'd run with the cookie concept and dished out a little more product, too. Thanks for your fun reviews, Robert; I'm new to makeup and loving your channel 🥰
I use Merit's Freat Skin under tbr Danessa Myricks. Im oily, but like some shine. Ti looks great, but will end up being a little too matte and will bring out some texture on my nose. I still like it, though, as I've stopped wearing foundation proper.
I purchase the conceler and loose powder from Jeffree Star (before the whole you know what went down). I was really excited about the concealer because I have really pale skin so I thought it would be great. The shade was great but it was stinging on my skin. And I couldn't get the powder to work either no matter what I did and the cotton candy scent was just too much. I also tried the putty primer from E.L.F and couldn't get it to work either. My makeup broke down so fast.
I was wondering if I was crazy for having trouble with that foundation too. I’ve had the same issues as you. Maybe it just doesn’t like skin with texture?🤔 idk haha
Robert, did you try to apply the foundation with a lemon? I think I saw something on your Twins channel that involved makeup application and whole fruit. ❤️
I have the DM balm foundation and have oily skin, and I cannot get it to work. I rarely see texture with my other liquid foundations (hourglass, coverfx, pur). I never have dry looking skin due to my extremely oily but the DM balm foundation always leaves my skin looking dry and heavy no matter the application technique, how much or little I use or if I powder or not. I have tried using it as concealer or even an eye primer to at least get some use and I'm out of options now 😕
Hi Robert!! Any chance you could do a reaction video on the beauty influencers you have previously? 👀 I re-watched some of your older ones again and thought about how entertaining it would be if you reacted to their updated beauty routines, seeing how much has changed in 3 years. For "educational purposes" of course 😂❤
I had recommended to me the Terry colourless powder to set my aging undereye... Very expensive and whenever I use it it seems to show my fine lines even more. Now using Luna Beauty's powder which does the trick. Even an Innoxa powder I got from the chemist was better!
I really like the packaging but the inside looks very cheap. Why do difficult colours in a pallet, they should just go with colours and simmers they can formulate.
I use the DM balm powder with my fingers. I rub a very thin layer in like I would a primer or a moisturizer and then I use whatever foundation I want over the top. I typically use fenty eaze drops and it's a match made in heaven. The DM does the job of a primer and coverage booster for me, but I have used it alone for very light makeup days.
When I've seen ppl rave about the DM balm, its as a primer under other foundations, skin tints etc. Not so much as a foundation itself. So if I bought it for myself thats what id use it for and probably in the summer when my oil production gets really disrespectful. 😂
It’s because you’re pretty dude. If I tried this I would look like a crazy person. Mimi from the Drew Carey show if anyone knows the reference. The skin stuff is vile because it sits like I would be touching my face all the time and I hate that.
The cookie pallet is just so gimmicky to me. I love those kind of cookies tho. haha I have very dry mature skin and would never try something that is matte but a lot of people do like that DM line. I have never tried any myself. That concealer is actually my favorite one. I just bought the foundation but haven't tried it yet. One thing I can't get to meet my expectations are those P. Louise cream blushes in the tubes with the sponge applicator. I have tried several shades and I just can't make them work for me. I am very pale too. I see influencers all the time praising those things.
I really appreciate you trying the eyeshadow palette again. I also left a comment under the original video, explaining I find the title rather dramatic and unjustified. Now its clearer what your problem with it is. Probably the shape and lacking practicality of it. It appears the formula is still perfectly fine but the packaging is a now understandable complaint.
I have that same danessa yummy skin balm and I was so looking forward to it. And honestly I fucking hate it like sits in my pores. I've tried a beauty blender, my fingers 4 different kinds of brushes and I hate it. I was so excited to Try it and I thought it was gonna be amazing boy was I wrong
Please try the Jaclyn Hill line if you can have people donate them to you or something… because they are not worth buying or supporting her, imo. But the Luxe Luxury palette (green tones) look so pretty, but the shadows are below even $3 palettes we can get. The concealer is so dry and dries down to quickly becoming cement (and I lost my receipt so) I had to use as an eye shadow primer. The translucent pressed powder is no different than a pressed powder I would find at the Dollar stores and I am not being rude or exaggerating any of this. I would love to see you get her brand and do a brand review so you can give us your feedback and maybe help us to put these products into use whereas as of now they just take up space for so many of us and we don’t know what to even do with them or if they should be tossed.
Ok…if you use the DM foundation… how do you use it? Because…. 👀 it does not look good on me… but I won’t give up! 😛
I have a tinted DM Blurring balm I think shade 2. I just use it on my T zone and spread it towards outer perimeter of my face and do pin point concealing where is needed😄

i use the balm powder not so much as a foundation but rather a finisher.. like, i conceal, use liquid blush, apply skin tint, and then go in with the balm on the outside of my face with the kabuki brush to make everything blend even more seamlessly. it is finicky and i don’t use a lot. also i only powder my t-zone so there’s not as much texture laying on top of the product. hope this helps, and given how fickle the product is, some days it won’t work with my skin if there are dry patches
I’ve tried that foundation as well and same problem as you. It just sinks into my pores and enhances all the texture.
As a fellow oily person I would love to see a GRWM of your go to products. I too love the Haus Labs foundation but what concealer, blush, etc do you continuously gravitate to?
I’m so sorry about your eyelid. 😢 The same thing was happening to me for years-eczema on my lids. I finally got patch tested for allergens and found out I was allergic to some common ingredients in skincare. You might want to see an allergist. Sending love ❤
the DM balm to powder texturizes my skin too, but I find it's best when used as a primer instead of foundation
For the Dynessa Myricks balm, I have the clear and use it ONLY on my very oily spots (between by brows and chin near my nose). I apply it as a base using my fingers then use foundation. Using it as an all over base does not work. Left my foundation very patchy.
Oh Dear Robert, some of us take your word as gospel! Bless for giving Kara a 2nd chance but it’s still a no for me. Thanks for saving me money. Love&Blessings from 🇺🇸, Bella
I really wanted it to work because it’s such a cute looking palette! 😩
Robert you’re trying with that foundation like I tried with my last boyfriend 😂
Seriously love how you always give things a retry and not only that often say … while it may not work for me that doesn’t mean it won’t work for you or if you like it. Makes me want to put more makeup on my face.
Omg why does Kara have my grandmother's sewing basket/container ? 😉😂
I figured out what the cookie tin eyeshadows reminded me of: Necco Wafers -- also dry and dusty and about the same size.
Interesting how you don't like the blurring balm. I have hellaciously dry skin but sweat enough to fill a pool in summer, so I use it in summer on well prepped skin and love it. You use a heck of a layer there though. I make it a light layer with synthetic kabuki and buff, then a dust of powder on my redder areas. Maybe if you treat it more like a primer?
I stand by my comment on the other video, dry dusty crusty eyeshadow tin, no thanks. The way the shimmer sits is not great. On top of the fact the whole pallet is giant tin shaped and takes up way too much space for how little shadow you get in it.
I love all of your testing of products, I have some great ones thanks to you ♥️💕♥️
You have so many different ways of trying products again, all the different variables. You seem to think of everything! Thanks, Robert 🖤🖤🖤
Johnny and Kevin didn't like that cookie tin thing either. Glad to know my three fave beauty men agree 😄
The DM blurring balm in universal is a must-have to get my oily skin through summer. I could not get the coverage versions to work on my skin, which made me sad! But I love it as a mattifying primer.
That’s how I use it as well! A tiny amount as a primer 😊
The blurring balm works great as a primer with my oily skin. If I wear it as a foundation, I have to use a lot of hydrating skincare/serums first
2:50 Robert keeping it real; the uncrusty eye 😂😂😂😂🖤
Robert I gave this three tries and NO ITS NOT A GO!
Danessa Myricks the clear version of the balm works wonders as a primer in the center of my face for me
I LOVE the DM balm. I wear it alone and for some extra jazz, use it as a primer with my Nars foundations.
So interesting… the ‘viral’ NDenona concealer creases like mad on me. But the haus labs is my fave. Really shows how each product differs for everyone.
I love the Haus Labs one!!!! I came to the comment section to see if anyone else was going to stick up for it.
If you use make up glue (not eyelash) for your shimmers, then apply them by patting on with a finger, you will get a much stronger look out of your shimmers. Denitslavia is who I learned this from and it works really well.
The foundation looks green 🤷🏻♀️
I was looking at my skin thinking the same! I think I forgot to remove fall out from
The blue eyeshadow and mixed it in with the foundation 😂😂
I like the Haus Labs concealer, but it IS a bit drying. The Natasha Denona hy-glam one is better
💜Robert i love your two Channels soooo much. I LOVE your sense of humour and opinions. And you are the only person that matters to me when i want to see something about makeup. Thanks. 💜
i really appreciate you giving products second chances. i've personally only ever seen one other content creator do the same and i wish it was more common!
I HAAAATED the new Guerlain terracotta concealer. Very yellow undertone, not great coverage and it really showed up fine lines. Absolutely ghastly
I have the translucent Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder, and though I haven’t used it a lot yet, I think it’s best as a primer (including eyelids) or to use your finger and spot set the areas of your face most prone to getting oily after foundation. I don’t think it really works well as a foundation or was really intended to be used as a foundation.
That blue REALLY suits you
Not gonna try any of these!
Hello, Robert! Have you tried applying the Danessa Myricks Yummy Balm Powder with your fingers. I quite like it applied almost as if it is a moisturizer/spf. And I swear the texture is not as matte when applied this way on properly moisturized skin.
Products I hate that so many people love - Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, Chanel Rouge Allure Mascara, Chanel Rouge Coco Baume. To me, the lip balm and concealer are so drying and the mascara did nothing! Definitely don’t recommend them!
That Danessa Myricks foundation is so difficult to use. I’ve found that using your fingers to pat in a light layer is the only way it works, but don’t put more than one layer otherwise it immediately looks cakey.
My cat loves watching you with me 😌💜 I just walked away to grab something and she intently kept her eyes on the screen
Hi Robert. I think maybe you’re using too much. I have the DM Balm in the Universal and shade 3. When I use the shade 3 as a foundation, I use my fingers and go in lightly then use my Nars pot concealer to cover any spots that need extra help. I get a very skin like finish and it holds my oil at bay! I hope you find a way to use and love it ❤
Yeah........a foundation shouldn't be THAT much work! You gave it a go, Robert!!
This is one of my favorite series that you do! I love seeing how your opinion changes or doesn't
I have tried soooooooo much of a variety of drugstore/high end ( I can't afford it myself so it's whatever I've gotten in a beauty box such as ipsy by boxycharm) and I have found that they will ALWAYS be drying/ very obvious under my eyes. I'll hydrate and do my best to slightly color correct and use very little concealer but the end is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS the same. I will lightly set it with powder because anything under my eyes will crease. So, if #robertwelsh OR Anyone Lol has any suggestions .....PLEASE let me know. Thanks in advance. Much love from Canada (Montreal, QUEBEC ).
I have a love/hate relationship with Tarte shape tape. When I was a dancer it was perfect for me because NOTHING would make it budge. However, it really dried my skin. And it’s really heavy. Now Im retired and just want a natural look, I found pūrlisse Perfect Glow BB concealer. I love it SO MUCH. it is highly blendable, and buildable. It melts into my skin like another thin layer of skin, and matches my skintone better than any foundation or concealer ive ever used. It doesn’t dry me out OR make my face greasy. It feels like im not even wearing it. And so because of all those reasons I dont even need a foundation! I FEEL LIBERATED. 😂
Danessa Myricks Foundation (all of them) is Amazing!!!!! Try to think about what moisturizer you are putting before (maybe they do not pair together) and use AHA tonic (I loved "REN" ready steady glow) before starting your skincare routine, and then try the yummy skin powder foundation. 🥰😍🤩😍🥰
Robert, just wanted to say thank you and good on you for speaking up with Glamzilla for...well, you know,
That's why we love you, trust you and support you💜🖤
I've been here since the start and am looking forward to seeing you grow and grow in 2024!
Lots of love x
DM recommends warming up the foundation with your fingers and applying with your fingers.
To be fair I believe that's the Blurring Balm Powder that you're using. It's not her foundation. I have seen mixed reviews on the Balm Powder as well. I have not tried it, but have used her Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint (which is basically a tinted moisturizer) and I really love it. I would also recommend trying any of the Colorfix cream pigments. There are 6 formulations, basically all different finishes. I have tried all but the Glaze and they are AMAZING. A little goes a long way with her products I've noticed too.
Merit beauty cream eye shadows…specifically the markers tones. I was drooling over the navy…until I tried to wear it. Um. No. HELP!!
#robertwelsh, could u possible link the brushes (or at least the types /shape / texture) as well as the products used in the videos? Thanks in advance. Much love from Canada. (Montreal, QUEBEC)
Okay, I could be a Grandma but I'm not. I have one of those cookie tins in my kitchen🫢. You have the patience of a saint Robert Welsh. I wouldn't have given those another round......💜😧💜
Hey Robert... how are you sweetie!... I'm so sorry I havnt been able to comment for so long I had an issue with My keyboard of all things!
Anyway, the eyeshadow is something i will not be investing in at all... nor the foundation as even on camera with your lighting I could see what you meant, as with the concealer.
Disappointed for you hon as I could see you really wanted them to work 😢😢
I have quite fine textured skin so they probably wouldn't work for me anyway.
Loving the RobertReacts which I subed to a bit back!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I personally am above-average with my application skills (after forty years of doing it daily and always working on learning more about makeup, and trying new products all the time) but there was NO way I could get the Danessa Myricks Yummy skin balm to work for me. I gave it many chances and watched so many videos on ways to apply it, I tried several different products and ways to prep my skin in advance and NOPE. I have oily/combo skin and obvious pores in my T zone and wished this would work the way it’s “supposed to”, according to all the hype. I returned it. Not work the hassle, when, as you pointed out, there are so many other products that work great already and aren’t so tricky and unreliable.
I have tried the Catrice True Skin foundation a bunch of times. First it wasn't the right shade, and also looked dry and showed every nook and cranny on my skin. I tried adding a hydrating primer....didn't help. Mixed in the elf halo glow primer/base product. Still a bit dry texture, still not a great shade match. Mixed in a bit of physicians formula liquid bronzer, helped the shade, helped the dryness but it was still heavy. Ugh. I wanted so badly for it to work!
I just recently found your channel. In fact, it’s today and now im trying to binge on all your videos. However, I do have a question. When you give us the prices of products, will you please mention the cost in dollars as well as pounds? I’m American and I don’t know how to convert pounds to dollars. You would think at my age I would know how to convert, but alas I do not. So please……. I’m an RN, CANP and I deal strictly in English.
This looks( the cookie tin) like something my grandma would've given me to play with when i was 10. She kind of viewed makeup like watercolor paint..lol adorable creative grandma❤ i miss you🥰 to be fair she was a pretty good oil paint artist. I still have some of her art, and furniture my grandpa made and she painted. Ah hell now i miss em both😂❤
Thanks for the vid ..mmm choices lol I like Randomnautica, animal attacks, strange and mysteriouse happenings,conspiracy theories, corrupt police caught on cam to name a few lol😂😅.. what ever you decide to do it will be brill and we will all be on the journey with you 😊❤ .. all the best and look forward to seeing your new visa in future 💗😊👍🤔😀
Robert, I use the DM Blurring Balm as a primer & apply with fingers only. I apply it to my oily areas as it will absorb excess oils. I also apply it to my redness & it takes down the red, meaning I don’t need as much foundation. The best technique I’ve found is to push it into your skin with your fingers & always follow with foundation. Hope that helps.
…OT but I just read your replies on the “should I try James Charles makeup?and Jeffrey Starr’s?” tikTok…
lemme tell you,you’re so SO SO SO mf right! a true hero🙏
This foundation on Robert looks exactly how my *favorite* foundation sits on my skin under perfect conditions lol.
I appreciate that you've given these products a second go! For the DM foundation, maybe try using less and building it? Keep us updated with your efforts to make it work, please! I'm curious 🍿😆
OH I had countless of palettes not working for me until I found out my problem. Everything needs to be muted for me, despite me liking bright/colors that pack a punch. I can't use warm shades on their own because they get too warm really fast. Cool shades can get too harsh when too pigmented. So whenever I do have a product that is too harsh, I try to either warm it up or cool it down with other shades in the palette to create a bit more of a muted/neutrally ground. Took a while for me to figure out you can do that LOL. LIKE A LONG WHILE D:
I have a hard time with the scent of the DM Balm as well (and her other foundations). I had it in my pro kit and my clients were not fans either and I had to take it out.
The way I’ve been able to use the balm (the CLEAR only) has been in the TINIEST amount and only in the T Zone as a primer or on no makeup days for a bit of oil control. I’ve tried so many different skin prep methods and just haven’t been able to make it work to my liking (given all the effort required). So sad!!!
I like Yummy Balm Powder (universal) best as a primer under cream foundations. Otherwise, I’ll use the tinted version on no-makeup makeup days to even out my complexion and keep oils at bay. Setting spray and loose powder are incorporated for both applications as well.
Robert have you tried Unearthly cosmetics yet? I got their fall magic palette and I think you’d be obsessed. The duochrome shimmers are INSANE and the mattes are beautiful too
I wish I liked the Haus lab’s foundation but it was SO cakey on my face. I tried it a bunch of times and with different skin care, and it was awful !
My issue with the DM foundation was that it kinda flaked or had like a crumbling thing going on. I have oily and have never had that happen before. To be fair im not sure i use the best brushes so maybe that was it.
A little disappointed in the cookie tin palette! Don't love the way they designed the layout of the pans. IMO, it looks like someone threw up a bunch of shapes into it. I wish they'd run with the cookie concept and dished out a little more product, too. Thanks for your fun reviews, Robert; I'm new to makeup and loving your channel 🥰
I use Merit's Freat Skin under tbr Danessa Myricks. Im oily, but like some shine. Ti looks great, but will end up being a little too matte and will bring out some texture on my nose. I still like it, though, as I've stopped wearing foundation proper.
The foundation could work with a blurring primer, or powdering first, but also I am a fan of products that don’t need any extra steps to work.
I purchase the conceler and loose powder from Jeffree Star (before the whole you know what went down). I was really excited about the concealer because I have really pale skin so I thought it would be great. The shade was great but it was stinging on my skin. And I couldn't get the powder to work either no matter what I did and the cotton candy scent was just too much. I also tried the putty primer from E.L.F and couldn't get it to work either. My makeup broke down so fast.
I was wondering if I was crazy for having trouble with that foundation too. I’ve had the same issues as you. Maybe it just doesn’t like skin with texture?🤔 idk haha
The Haus Labs foundation looks terrible on my super dry skin. I've given it multiple chances and it just isnt cute.
Robert, did you try to apply the foundation with a lemon? I think I saw something on your Twins channel that involved makeup application and whole fruit. ❤️
I have the DM balm foundation and have oily skin, and I cannot get it to work. I rarely see texture with my other liquid foundations (hourglass, coverfx, pur). I never have dry looking skin due to my extremely oily but the DM balm foundation always leaves my skin looking dry and heavy no matter the application technique, how much or little I use or if I powder or not. I have tried using it as concealer or even an eye primer to at least get some use and I'm out of options now 😕
Hi Robert!! Any chance you could do a reaction video on the beauty influencers you have previously? 👀 I re-watched some of your older ones again and thought about how entertaining it would be if you reacted to their updated beauty routines, seeing how much has changed in 3 years. For "educational purposes" of course 😂❤
I had recommended to me the Terry colourless powder to set my aging undereye... Very expensive and whenever I use it it seems to show my fine lines even more. Now using Luna Beauty's powder which does the trick. Even an Innoxa powder I got from the chemist was better!
I really like the packaging but the inside looks very cheap. Why do difficult colours in a pallet, they should just go with colours and simmers they can formulate.
I use the DM balm powder with my fingers. I rub a very thin layer in like I would a primer or a moisturizer and then I use whatever foundation I want over the top. I typically use fenty eaze drops and it's a match made in heaven. The DM does the job of a primer and coverage booster for me, but I have used it alone for very light makeup days.
When I've seen ppl rave about the DM balm, its as a primer under other foundations, skin tints etc. Not so much as a foundation itself. So if I bought it for myself thats what id use it for and probably in the summer when my oil production gets really disrespectful. 😂
It’s because you’re pretty dude. If I tried this I would look like a crazy person. Mimi from the Drew Carey show if anyone knows the reference. The skin stuff is vile because it sits like I would be touching my face all the time and I hate that.
The cookie pallet is just so gimmicky to me. I love those kind of cookies tho. haha I have very dry mature skin and would never try something that is matte but a lot of people do like that DM line. I have never tried any myself. That concealer is actually my favorite one. I just bought the foundation but haven't tried it yet. One thing I can't get to meet my expectations are those P. Louise cream blushes in the tubes with the sponge applicator. I have tried several shades and I just can't make them work for me. I am very pale too. I see influencers all the time praising those things.
I really appreciate you trying the eyeshadow palette again. I also left a comment under the original video, explaining I find the title rather dramatic and unjustified. Now its clearer what your problem with it is. Probably the shape and lacking practicality of it. It appears the formula is still perfectly fine but the packaging is a now understandable complaint.
A product that just doesn’t work for us is the makeup by Mario foundation, it makes my pores look HUGE and so noticeable, it looks awful
I have that same danessa yummy skin balm and I was so looking forward to it. And honestly I fucking hate it like sits in my pores. I've tried a beauty blender, my fingers 4 different kinds of brushes and I hate it. I was so excited to Try it and I thought it was gonna be amazing boy was I wrong
Please try the Jaclyn Hill line if you can have people donate them to you or something… because they are not worth buying or supporting her, imo. But the Luxe Luxury palette (green tones) look so pretty, but the shadows are below even $3 palettes we can get. The concealer is so dry and dries down to quickly becoming cement (and I lost my receipt so) I had to use as an eye shadow primer. The translucent pressed powder is no different than a pressed powder I would find at the Dollar stores and I am not being rude or exaggerating any of this. I would love to see you get her brand and do a brand review so you can give us your feedback and maybe help us to put these products into use whereas as of now they just take up space for so many of us and we don’t know what to even do with them or if they should be tossed.
