Hello, everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
We have another reaction video for you today.
We are looking at some crafty hacks.
Just before we get into it. Hi. My name is Robert.
I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube.
Also in real life. It's my goal to help you become a pro
yourself, you know the rest. Consider subscribing.
Give this video a thumbs up.
And as I always like to say in these
videos, there are no rules to creativity and individuality.
But makeup has a theory, and that's what we're
going to look at today in these videos.
So, do your makeup how you wish, but if
you're having trouble, know there's a theory that you
can take advantage of and yes, okay.
Yeah, absolutely fine.
The only thing I would say about that is you don't
want to go in sweeping with loads and loads of concealer.
You almost want to take an angle brush.
You don't almost want to, you do want
to take an angle brush so you can
be really, really defined about where you're going.
Because we all know red lipstick, especially something
more glossy, is going to smudge like crazy, if we...
especially when you're blending it into concealer.
So you almost want to use that angle brush
to kind of do a very faint line and
then very gently sweep downwards like this.
Don't go backwards and forwards like they're doing in
that video because it will be a mess.
We all know...
Yeah.
Gross.
Horrible. No.
Okay, so here's why that's a really terrible idea, right?
Beauty blenders,
beauty sponges in general, have... they're not
like, there's sponge in the middle.
It's not like completely nothing inside.
So they have a nice, like the
nice amount of pressure, the perfect amount
of pressure, the perfect amount of bounce.
If you use a balloon, you're giving
pressure, but it's not pushing anything.
The balloon kind of gives way
to the pressure of your skin.
It's not really pushing much product onto
your skin in a correct way.
It's going to slide off a balloon, but it's not going to
apply it in the way that you want it to look.
It'll be like shoveling it on, basically.
You need that bounce and you need that pressure
from, like, when we use our fingertips or when
we use a beauty sponge, you need it.
This, is what you need.
Aloe Vera gel.
And we're going to crumble that in.
Is this going to be a lip product?
I think it's going to be like a lipstick.
Oh.
Oh, no.
Oh, that made me need the toilet.
No. I mean, we can see here it looks kind of crappy.
Aloe vera gel, right?
We've all kind of used it after we've had
like, sunburn or we want just like a
light bit of moisture, absorbs into the skin completely.
It's not going to hang around and stay like that.
It's going to dry out and you get
that kind of uneven application when the product
hasn't really been mixed in well, the gel
texture doesn't grip quite well to eyebrows.
It's going to look like this, let's be real.
That's not the best.
It's like bleeding up the top.
It's like 20 different colors.
When people are like, make your own products, right?
And they always mix in powder.
Remember how that powder pigment is going
to sit once that product dries down.
Just remember that.
What are we doing now?
That is fine to do.
I know a lot of people are like, don't use
red around your eyes, don't use... at your own discretion you can,
you can, but it's up to you.
And it may stain your eyelids
very slightly, but it is fine.
And you can do like a whole monochromatic look with it.
Although nowadays with a choice of eyeshadow and stuff
like that and, you can just create that, a line
like that with eyeshadow or cream eyeshadow.
Okay, so dried out mascara. That was just cleaned.
Putting lens solution in to kind of like renew it, mix
it up a bit and there she goes.
And it works.
This is absolutely fine.
You can use eyedrops, anything that is
safe to use around the eye area.
Inglot do their absolutely incredible Duraline, which
is known for reboosting products, making the products
more waterproof and stuff like that.
However, if your mascara is dry,
it's probably time to change it.
Mascara expires... what do they give us? Three months?
And then you have to get rid of it and get a new one.
One thing as well, if your mascara is drying out
too quickly, it may be because you are pumping your
mascara like this or even doing that and then applying,
even if it's just one or two, you're pumping air into
the actual compartment here and drying out the mascara.
If you're coming to the end and you're trying to
get your mascara out or even if it's just a habit,
I would just loosen it slightly and then I would
kind of, like, tip the wand and then just spin
this around, because then you're scooping around all the
edges and then take it out and you'll have
a load of mascara on your wand.
Don't pump. If you're pumping,
you're drying out too much. Drying... whatever.
Oh, no. Oh, God.
Can we just look, right, at this
person's nose and think about contouring.
When people say they want to contour their
nose, all they do is draw two lines
down the side and down the middle.
But it just doesn't make sense on her nose.
Her nose is very slim in the
middle, so we're going to slim it...
And she didn't even take those lines down to the
tip of her nose where the nose is slightly wider.
If we are going to even out this nose, I would
do a tiny bit of contour in this brow area here.
Leave the middle, highlight the bridge perhaps and
then I would contour around the edge there.
Not everyone contours their nose the same.
That's why you cannot use a fork to contour your nose.
Not everyone has a fork acceptable nose.
A fork wouldn't even sit on my nose.
I would have to get like a really long brush, like it would...
My nose is too narrow for a fork to sit on.
Contouring your nose doesn't mean two
lines and a lighter line.
It means structuring your nose, re sculpting your nose
to a point to make it appear a certain
way, not just to do it like everyone else.
Oh, dirty.
I... I mean, you could
probably most definitely cut a bit of sponge out.
The only thing I would say about those
is that they're different textures to beauty sponges.
Beauty sponges are going to be a little bit firmer and
also they're not as porous as one of those sponges is.
That tend to be quite pory and open.
So I maybe wouldn't.
Why are they so against just using a beauty sponge?
You can get them dead cheap.
What was that?
Was that the hack?
What was that?
I don't get what that was.
That's just foundation.
Here's the thing, right?
You wouldn't have to... if you wanted to do
this, you wouldn't have to mix the two.
Hydrate your legs like you would and then put
a tiny bit of BB cream or foundation over
the top and just rub it all in.
There's no need to mix the two.
Once you change the formula of that foundation, it's not going
to sit as well on the skin as it did before.
Don't mix moisturizer with your foundation.
If you want a tinted moisturizer, just use
less foundation and really blend it in.
Or use your foundation like,
put it on, hydrating mist.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap some of it away
and blend it out a little bit more.
That is going to transfer.
You can see it's transferred onto her other leg already.
It's going to transfer.
It's going to be weird and sticky.
And that foundation is never going to fully grip to
the skin because you've just mixed it with moisturizer.
And then depending on the moisturizer, if it's too rich
for your skin, it's just going to sit on top.
We use tinted moisturizer on our face, just how it is.
So go ahead and use it on your, on your legs.
Just be careful of your knees.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
So dangerous.
Oh, so dangerous.
Terrible, terrible. Right, who remembers,
who remembers? I'm just going to ask that.
Who remembers?
Because people were cutting their lips open,
glasses were shattering around people's mouths.
Blood everywhere.
It's just not...
Broken capillaries around the mouth. Blue lips.
Horrible time.
Horrible, horrible, horrible time.
That is so dangerous to put glass
around your mouth and do that kind
of pressure situation for a temporary plump.
We spoke about this the other week.
Don't do it.
Perfect for any skintone.
First of all, no.
But second of all, the mold that is
going to grow in a few weeks time.
Here's the deal.
I know we are like, oh toxins are nasties.
Every product you use, even the natural ones,
have some kind of preservative in them because
they wouldn't be able to sell it.
You open it and there'll be mold growing on it.
All products have preservatives in. That's going to
be moldy, like the money you spent on oats
you can go and get a good
£2 powder from the drug store, you know?
Why do they do this?
It's just not good. And perfect for any skin tone?
No, absolutely not.
There's certain pigmentations you need to make
for translucent powders for them to be
truly translucent and formulas. Oats?
Oats is not going to... imagine. Oh, I need a powder.
Oats is fine on any skin tone.
Oh, is this what they were getting at earlier?
Here's the thing.
When you're wearing foundation or makeup, or just
general anything, the most important thing about taking
off makeup is to break down all your
makeup, dissolve it off your skin.
That's why you need something, well,
one, that's actually a cleanser.
Yes, it may remove something on the surface, but you can
get a tissue and wipe your face on the surface and
you know that hasn't fully taken off your makeup.
What was the problem? What was the problem?
I didn't see the problem.
What was the issue?
Oh, there you go.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Th... okay.
Okay, nice idea.
But if I did see that in
your bathroom, I would slightly judge you.
I'll be honest.
That is a placemat for plates.
Thank you so much for joining me.
If you have any or if you see any,
like, beauty hacks and you just think, well, that's
terrible, you can tag me in it.
Don't tag me, just be like, sssh,
just be like, at Robert Welsh.
What do you think of this?
Don't be like, this is fucking sh*t.
Or, I have a submission area on
discord that you can go to also.
Thank you so much for joining me.
