Hello everyone, welcome back. Thank you so so much for joining me. So today I'm
doing a reaction video for you. People just seem to like these, I thought
people would be over reaction videos now but... but they still seem to be going good.
So, if you ever want to tag me in anything to react to you can tag me on,
or do whatever, on TikTok is @Robert WelshMUA, Instagram it's @RobertWLSH,
and what else is there?
TikTok...
Oh, Twitter. Which is
something, which I'll out here.
Just before we get into this video, I always forget to say this so here we go.
There are no rules to creativity and individuality but makeup most
definitely has a theory, and that's what these videos are all about. It's just a
bit of fun. Okay, let's just get straight into it. Let's have a little look shall
we? “You can literally create any eyeliner
you want with micellar water and an eyeshadow palette,
just watch. Your first step is take a small brush
and your micellar water, put it in, dip it like that.
Take the brush and just place it in the corner because you don't want to mess it
up because I don't know if it does mess it up yet. Take it in the corner
and just make like a little paste and then you just take it
and put it on your eye. And look at that color.
Okay, obviously I can't do it in the camera but
you get the point. And then it stays until you wipe it off.”
You can absolutely make any eyeshadow into any kind of product. You can do that
with micellar water, you can do it with a setting spray, you can do it with...
there's certain mixing mediums that brands make to do this.
100%. One thing I would recommend, because as she mentioned in the video as well
she was like you don't want to mess it up, if you don't mind messing up... not
messing up but just slightly scratching at your palate, I would always recommend
flaking off a bit of the eyeshadow onto something then wetting it if you
want to kind of experiment with that color. Just to see if it does work as
well as, you know, it should. But yeah, 100%. You don't need to buy loads of color
eyeshadows, you can do that with your blush, you can do it with bronzers,
you can do it with anything really. And yes you could just use an angle brush
with the dry liner but sometimes to have it that creamy texture makes it so much
easier to use and so much more movable, you know?
So this one actually makes sense. I think we've seen so many like, lift your face
like this, and then people doing... they do this, don't they? They're like, oh this is
down, this is up. It's like, there's no difference. This one actually makes sense
because as I always say when it comes to sculpting the face or trying to lift you
need something, you need two comparables, you need the dark to compare to the
light and the light to compare to the dark. So as we can see it here what
they've done is they've done the dark shape which is going to round off and
lift, and then they've highlighted around it to accentuate that darkness, which of
course works and gives you a little lift. And the fact that they kept it neutral to
their skin tone, which anyone can do with with whatever eyeshadows they have, is a
really, really great way to lift that eye in a way that isn't obvious. It's like
how we contour our cheeks when we lift, just doing it on your eyes. That's a
really, really great, great tip. Yeah, I like that one, I like that one a lot.
I don't see why that wouldn't work. The only thing you do have to bear in
mind is as you can see on the like the transfer on the back, you are going to
get some feathering but then it is just a general guide which I think is a
really good idea. Your eyeliner, your liquid liner when you go on top of that
product is gonna... if you, especially if you have a
felt tip, felt tips kind of like... have you ever tried to use a felt tip liner on
top of powder, for example? They kind of absorb what's around them, so it may
absorb some of that concealer making it a little bit more difficult to go with
your liner. So, I think that's what they use in the video as well is more of a
calligraphy pen style liner, which will work a lot nicer because it will go
over a lot. One thing... go over easier, sorry. One thing you would have to bear
in mind is you may have to keep constantly cleaning that tip.
Consequentially? I don't know why I chose that word.
You may have to keep waiting and shaking that liner to get more product out, so.
It's a good one but like maybe do the liner... no, because then black would be too
messy. I think it's a nice one. I actually really liked the way that the liner
looked flesh, I thought that was really cool.
Okay so, so many people sent me this and here's... okay, so there's been a few
explanations about this, not so much from this one, of course, it's just a bit of
fun. But there was one person I saw on TikTok and they were trying to like
be like, yeah no it's a great idea like if you're traveling,
all you have to do is put the the wrap... we call it Cling Film here, on your face
and then draw on top your concealer, highlighter, blush,
everything like that and then fold it up and take it with you. It means you don't
have to take all your products with you. Which, I mean
in, in an ideal world you wouldn't have to pack all your makeup products with
you if you're going somewhere. Here's the deal if that was the case, right, if it
wasn't just a bit of fun... and let me, I'll tell you something after as well. Accuracy of
positioning the lips, you're not gonna get very accurate, especially if you're
doing red. You want that crisp outline with red or either you want it that
bleed effect with it. So you still then have to take, you know, whatever concealer
with you. Contour, highlight maybe not so bad. But here's the deal, you never know
how much makeup you're going to need and that, that to me just isn't enough. And if
we go in with that kind of sense then
are we going to do the whole, you know, foundation over the whole face? It's just,
for me, it's accuracy, it's just not quite right. Someone, for those who don't know,
me and my twin brother have a joint channel and we always kind of react and
try 5-Minute Craft hacks because they're so sh*t
and we asked people once to make up their own 5-Minute Crafts, you know
with the idea that it has to be terrible, like a really terrible hack and then we
would try it and see if it worked. Someone suggested we take like a dry
sheet mask, you know with eyes and everything like that, and draw makeup on them
and then press it on just like this. Because it was such a bad idea.
A bit of fun, yes. I, if people are genuinely thinking like, oh I'm gonna, you
know, do this and take it around with me and take it on trips with me, it's
probably not the best thing to do.
Here's why that's f*cking stupid,
because one... okay, so the idea is we're using these plasters or band-aids to
cover areas maybe we don't want to put our foundation on. Putting a bit of
foundation on your lips is fine, whatever, on the brows I understand. However, if we,
if we're going to cover them so much, because of accuracy of application
of products right, why would we then go in with a fluffy
brush with unpredictable edges and then go over the
edge of the brow? If you're going to do something and try and get a really
precise application and a defined cut around that brow, you're going to want a
brush maybe something like... ow, I just hit myself. Something like
this that has that precision to it. If you're going to just use a brush that's
fluffy, how are you going... you can definitely like be very gentle but they're
just doing this, you don't have precision that way. So then what's the
point in the the whole first bit of, of covering
those areas and trying not to get those areas? That doesn't, that does not make
sense. If you... you know what? Do that. But at the same time those plasters were so big
you can just avoid the area and then go around with a brush.
Such a waste of, of plasters, you know?
There's definitely some, some like old person filter going on there. Those tapes
do lift quite well, not
that so much that one set of tape... like for example, if I'm, if I was going
to pull a set of tapes here it wouldn't pull
this whole area and this whole area as much
because the, the muscle here... you know, it's not going to affect the
jowls too much, it's not going to affect the under eyes as much as it does in
that video. Very, very good at getting, you know,
going viral. But if you're going to invest in tapes you're going to need a
few more than that to achieve a really smoothed out look. I also believe in that
video there's a slight old person filter going on, just by looking at the other
pictures on her TikTok.
I wouldn't go out and rush and buy tapes because, yeah. They are good, they are
good thoughh but whatever.
So this is one I've seen a lot, like constantly, constantly this like week
online. I mean, to be honest with you I don't
really have anything against that. My one thing would be, although it just looks
like lines, that's a lot of concealer in those one areas. For example around
the lips you don't need that... trying to
blend that out and keep that precision you're gonna have to go around like this
and try and keep that precision. If I'm going round the lips to, to sculpt
and define after I've done a lip color, before you can just buff it on, after
I've done lip color I'll go around very, very lightly with a very thin brush and
then have to buff that out. It's fine, I just, again,
for, for the areas where it's going, for example, under eyes,
a bit, a bit much concealer to to blend out. Same down the sides of...
It's just one of these things where somebody drew on their face and everyone
was like, wow. I think that's all I have this week.
Anyway, well thank you so, so much for joining me.
