Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so much for joining me. So today I'm wearing
this fake fur hoodie because I am freezing, and it just looks so cozy at
the time. Okay, so today we are trying some more
products that look really stupid but we're trying them anyway. Why not? Why not?
So not everything I'm going to use in this video
is under the look stupid category, I'm just going to do a full look and fill in
the gaps with some other products but I'll let you know what is what. Just
before we get into that today, if this is your first time here, hi, my name is
Robert. I'm a professional makeup artist here on YouTube, and also in real life.
And it's my goal to help you become a Pro yourself or someone who's just good
at makeup. So if that sounds like something you're interested in then please do
consider subscribing. Okay, should we just do it, and get
straight into our first product today? And some of these products you may be
like, how does that look stupid? I'll tell you why. First up we have the Brow... is
that Browvo? Oh, like bravo, okay. Conditioning primer from Benefit. Now,
here's a few reasons why I feel like this looks stupid, right. First of all I
feel like it's a really unnecessary product. Like when I do my brows,
especially as someone with thicker brows, I don't really want to put too much in
them, I want them to kind of stay up a little bit. Or even someone with finer
brows like, I wouldn't want to put too much product in it
pre doing them. And I feel like it's just a
really useless like unnecessary product but here we go, we're gonna try it. So you
wind it up and it has like these little like teeth, I guess you could say. So I'm
gonna use that to like brush up my brows first.
I'm still like red from where I laminated them myself, that was a really
big mistake. It almost like disappears instantly into the brows. Oh, that's
really strange. I was expecting it to kind of like
be hanging around, being like really greasy and, and like wet. It almost just
instantly fades away. Brow primer though? I've never in my life once thought, you
know what, I need to prime my eyebrows, you know?
Like it's almost, like it completely is absorbed by the brows. How strange. It
says for fuller-looking brow, so I'm assuming it's more like a serum then, In
that case. Let me just, let me see quick. It says, "wear alone or wear underneath to
extend the wear of your brow products." That, I just... okay.
[Laughter] It has like set my brows a little bit.
I'm trying to comb, get out my scar here. Okay, so it does almost like stick them
down. Let me try a brow pen on top and just see.
Okay, fine. I think it's fine, I don't know. I can't
tell if it's sup... my brows are super, super dry at the moment. It seems fine.
The product went on top absolutely fine.
I think it's okay. What a weird little pro... you know what? I
think I'm gonna use that as almost like a treatment. Can you do that? "Nutrient
rich", yeah, you know what, I think I need that at the moment. Maybe
it's not so stupid. Okay, up next
we have the Blanc Cover Mela Stick. "It's a cover stick but has reversible
formula changing, a cream to foundation
and makes smooth skin texture and bright skin tone." So now this is one of those
things that claims it's for like all skin tones.
Okay, so I'm not very confident that this is actually gonna be
for all skin tones. So what I'm gonna do... so on one side is the actual product, and
on the back here we have a brush. So should we, should we just, let's do it.
Oh.
Now, to me it looks like it has like those little balls in it that are gonna
burst. Let's treat it as a highlighter first,
and then see how we go from there. When you blend them, that it would have
already had to like, almost like have decided what tone it's gonna be
before we use it.
Should I keep working it in and just see if it...
well then, it just disappears then.
What is this? Is this foundation or
concealer, or what? It smells like sunscreen. I never, I never believe like
these like, "suits all skin tones" things. I will only
believe it if it's like a highlighter for example, or a
blush. But not if it's like a foundation or
concealer because how could it possibly suit all skin tones. I mean, if that was
my skin tone, the finish in terms of it's quite shiny
and like glossy looking, is quite nice. But in terms of the color,
like it's absolutely not my skin tone at all. And the areas where it is kind of
blended in a little bit more it has kind of disappeared. But it does
give us a really nice shine on the skin, whatever it is. Suits all skin tones?
Absolutely not. I call shenanigans. I don't think that's
correct. I mean look, I look ghostly.
Is it settling to my skin, my skin tone? Is it?
Oh, no. This is another primer where I was like,
what is the point in that particular primer, in that particular area? This is
the Revolution Pro Under Eye Primer Illuminate. Now, here's why yes, it's
important to prep your under eyes. So I mean you can use a tiny bit of primer,
you can use a little bit of priming oil and that would be enough. Sorry, it's got
like... I hate like unnecessary wrapping like this. And you use a face primer a
lot of the time but on the under eye, not on the actual lid. But to have a
whole separate product for priming under the eyes is a little bit strange. So it
does have almost like a luminosity to it. I probably should have put this on
before that thing, hey?
Oh, it does, it has a really nice shine to it actually.
I do quite like that. I do like the texture because it's almost like gel
like, and it's more like watery so it's not like a thick, thick cream. And it
does feel nice. It has the tiniest, tiniest
sticky feel to it, not in like an eye primer way, and not in a bad way. It feels
quite nice, it does feel nice. I quite like that. I'm
still very confused about this, you know. I still don't know what's going on there.
I'm going to sort out my eyelids and do a quick eye look. It's going to go
super quick for you, and then I'll be right back. Okay, so just a little quick
eye look. Next up, this sponge. I don't know why it
makes me laugh so much. This is the Laura Mercier Flawless Finish Makeup Sponge.
You'll see how it's shaped, right? "The innovative s-shaped sponge designed
to hug the contours of the face, provides an even lay down for flawless
application. The hygienic zero cell technology ensures minimal production
product absorption." So here's...
Oh, there's instructions. So they're suggesting right, you prep the sponge. "Use the sponge
dampened or dry. Picking up the product from the back of a hand, use the s-shaped
side to apply the product, stippling onto desired areas. Use the bottom edge or
bottom pointed tip for targeted application
around the eyes." And then it's like, wash it. Okay, I don't quite get how this is
gonna be any more innovative let's say, or any more useful
at applying my foundation then any other sponge or any other brush. Why... I need to
blend in here, excuse me, please. But let's try it.
Okay, I'm going to use it damp, so I'm just going to dampen it. Oh, oh it doesn't take to water
very well, okay. Let's completely dry that out. Oh, it
doesn't absorb... it isn't like... okay.
So let's...
Wait a minute, that's actually quite... that's, that's actually really good. One
second, please. Oh my God. I just did my whole cheek
just like this. What? Oh my God. I was expecting this to
be like, just like any, any...
Wait, that's, that was really quick, okay.
Okay, I take it back. God, I'm wrong today. I am so wrong today. Okay, let's do it
again. Let's do the other cheek. Honestly, the sponge is just like, oh, I'll
do that for you. [Laughter]
That is really cool. So what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do like all the main bits and
then I'll go around with the other side, and just tidy up a little bit. Oh, this is
great. Oh, my God, I really like this actually. I really like that, that was
super quick. I'm just going to tap on the other little bits here.
Okay, I was wrong. you know what, this is an innovative, innovative s shape.
That was cool, okay. That was actually kind of cool. I, I agree.
I, I really, really like that. Let me powder my nose really quick. Okay, our
last questionable product today... oh, what is that? Oh, I've got some of that
nasty weird foundation concealer color changing stuff on this. This is a 3CE
Duel Blend Blusher in the shade Shrug. Now, the reason I chose this because I, I
really don't like... why does that just stop?
What happened there? I don't like the idea of like the one
swipe like, oh, now everything's done. So we're gonna do it anyway. So here's
what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna do this, right, and then see if
we can do like half and half, and see how that works out for us.
And also I hate these disposable brushes. They're not disposable, you know what I mean?
Oh, that's really cute. Oh, my God. It just goes to show...
[Laughter] This is quite a good little brush. Maybe
I shouldn't judge the Benefit ones that come in like the Hula bronzer, you know?
Give it a little flick, flick it around. Oh no, I really like the color.
It's subtle, it's, it's got a very subtle... to it. Okay.
Let me finish up here and I will be right back with you. Okay, well this is
the finished look using a few products that I was like,
what? And now I'm like, oh okay fine. The only thing that was really a
disappointment was this thing. What on earth? I don't, I just, I don't know what
that was meant to be. I feel like, it felt like sunscreen but it was like, it was
almost trying to act like a concealer or like a BB cream or CC cream. But it just
kind of made my... what's happening here? It just kind of makes my face like a little
bit shiny. Which I guess is cute but I still want to be shiny like in my shade,
you know? So like I said, I'll leave all the
products below. Let me know if there's anything you've ever tried where you
were like, you know, that looks really stupid but let me try it and just fallen
in love with it. This sponge I think was a big shocker. I
was, I'm... it was just like, boop, boop, boop, done. You're done, thanks. And it looks, it
looks great. I love it, I really, really like it. I am like thoroughly impressed. Okay, well
thank you so much for joining me. Please give this video a thumbs up if you
enjoyed it, please consider subscribing also, and I will see you very, very soon.
Bye.
