Hello everyone. Welcome back.
Thank you so, so much for joining me.
So today I'm going to be watching a video.
"Mind blowing Beauty Hacks and
Makeup tricks you should try."
I'm probably going to assume that you shouldn't try them,
but we will see.
But 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 just someone who is really good at makeup.
So if that sounds like something you are
interested in, then do please consider subscribing.
As I always like to say in these videos,
there are no rules to individuality and creativity.
But makeup most definitely has a theory.
And sometimes some things we see online are for
entertainment purposes only and don't quite fit in with
that theory when you try to do it in
real life and it doesn't all work out.
So, let's go ahead and watch this video.
"Mind Blowing Beauty Hacks and Makeup trips..."
Tricks.
Okay, so...
This video, right, she has coffee that she's kind of
like, warmed up on a spoon, whatever.
And she's flicking it on her face with a toothbrush.
Listen, flicking like some kind of makeup onto your face
with a toothbrush is a great freckles hack, right?
Because it sporadically puts those
freckles onto your face.
And one thing that looks really obvious when you're trying
to do fake freckles is, we almost like in our
minds, subconsciously, put freckles on it like a pattern.
And it can look really fake. So this is a good way.
However, coffee is pretty much water.
It's going to be absorbed by the skin.
And you're not going to be
left with this kind of color.
Best thing to do would be scrape off
some eyeshadow onto like a palette, add a
little bit of hydrating mist, tiny, tiny bit and then use a toothbrush.
Because this is going to look okay,
and then it's going to absorb into the skin
and you won't see any of your hard work.
I need to powder my face.
Powder my face before I get stressed out.
I know what these videos are like.
Okay, so one...
That's not...
They just watched it on their hand and
then showed us it on the lip.
Like, this is what...
Excuse me,
that is not what it's going to look like.
It's always going to be... you're not
going to get that perfect line.
There are brands that make this kind of
like lip balm, like Laneige, for example.
But you don't get a perfect line like that.
And that's matte.
Her lip is now matte.
And the lipstick before wasn't.
It was glossy.
Do people believe that this is actually what happened?
Do people believe this?
I don't get... I don't get that.
That's how you put on...
That's how you put...
That's how you put it on anyway. Like you...
She just bit down on it and
put the color on, like put...
How's that a hack?
Nothing happened.
Nothing happened there.
Nothing happened, right?
And that product was like a cream before.
Listen, creams are fine to use in your
brow in like strokes and things like that.
But to stamp it on over your whole brow,
one, you're going to go over your actual brow,
and it's going to look weirdly creamy.
And two, it's not going to be able to get like...
Like, for example, if I did that on my brows,
it would just sit on the hair on top and
not be able to get through to the bottom underneath.
And it also, also that didn't do anything.
There are those stencils that do that, which I
think are great if you have fine brows.
Actually, I don't think they're great, that's a lie,
I actually think they're really stupid because I
think a lot of people are more than
able to draw on their own brows.
We saw that one go under the tape, right?
Like, it wouldn't have been... it wouldn't have been that,
it wouldn't have been like that. Here's the deal.
You don't need tape to be a stencil for your lips.
Just apply your lipstick.
If you mess up, you can easily remove a little
bit of the lipstick. Or, even with reds, you can
use concealer on an angle brush and go along the
edge of that lip and really tidy it up.
Stencil...
Why'd she leave the bathroom
with it looking really sh*t?
That's actually okay. Here's the deal, though,
if you want your lipstick to be non-transfer proof, not
that you're going to cover...
I hate this f*cking thing.
Clear translucent powder first of all, over the lip.
You don't want to use one with color in,
it also doesn't have to be mineral powder.
It can be any kind of powder.
And then you really want to tap it in or
push it in with like an eyeshadow brush, like either
a blending brush or like a flat one, because you
really want to push that powder into the lip.
So it becomes part of the formula of the lipstick almost.
You don't just want it to sit on top.
You want it to be like, in there, you know?
I personally wouldn't, just because the formula of the
pencil isn't as smooth as maybe a powder or
a liquid or like one of those brow mascaras.
So it doesn't necessarily drag
evenly throughout the eyebrow.
Yeah, especially a waxier eye pencil that's
maybe made to be a little bit more water resistant.
On initial application, not something that
drives down to being water resistant.
It wouldn't take to the brow as easy as that did.
All they've done is brushed them up.
In that previous clip,
her eyebrows were brushed down.
Of course, they're going to look like
crap if you brush them down.
Here's the deal, right?
With red around the eye by itself, like just
pure red by itself is it can look a
bit eye infectiony or a little bit sore. You know sometimes
if you use, like an eyeshadow, it
has that, like, red undertone to it.
And then you go and wash it
off and it stained your eyes.
It kind of gives that look just by itself.
And especially when it's a little bit shiny, it
kind of looks like, oh, you got really sore skin.
Almost like you've caught your skin
while you're waxing your brows, you know?
So maybe like a purple or an orange, always looks nice.
But pure red like that, especially a pinky
red, can look a little bit questionable.
Also, that kind of texture on the lid, like lipstick
texture can separate and crease easier on the lid.
Not saying you can't do it because sometimes it
looks great as a monochromatic, but maybe powder on
top and use a really good base underneath.
What did that have to do with beauty hacks?
Now, bear in mind, this video
is about mind blowing beauty hacks
you should try, I wouldn't recommend trying this one.
One, it's a waste of makeup on...
If you're going to draw it on there, you
might as well just draw it straight onto your face.
It doesn't save you any extra
time, you know what I mean?
And also it doesn't... you're going to have
to add more makeup to it.
I don't know. Why do people come up with this sh*t?
That's actually not a bad hack.
However, you don't need a brush that
dense and slim to do your contour.
Otherwise it's going to look
like a solid straight line.
If you're buffing it on anyway, you might as well just
be blending it out, you know what I mean?
Okay, so that technique went
a bit viral recently, right.
But here's my only, and you've probably heard me talk about this.
Here's my only thing with that technique is when...
So you put all the shades on, fine.
The hard part, or the
difficult part that some people find difficult with
eye makeup, and what that hack is trying to
suggest it makes easier, is the blending part.
We put all these colors here, blend them,
and, you know...
The blending part is the difficult part.
Applying the color to the lid isn't difficult.
So then you have to blend however many colors they
just put in there altogether without it going muddy.
Because you just packed about four, five colors
on the lid, where's usually you use two or three,
and like one through the socket.
And you can even see in the end image.
It's not even blended up the top,
it's a solid line.
So that doesn't really fix anything. It doesn't fix...
It doesn't make blending easier.
It doesn't make eye makeup easier.
It just is like, I guess time saving.
But even still, it takes longer to blend it all out.
Always start with a shade through the socket
and then do a shade on the outside
corner, middle, and then inside corner. Done.
And then gently buff over with a blending brush.
That's all you need to do.
You don't need to line them all up like that.
Well, there it is again.
Whatever that was.
I would love to know if people actually, have you ever tried anything from one
of these hack videos and thought, oh, my God, and then like,
implemented it into your real life, let me know, because I just...
I don't know what to say about any of those.
Surely people can't... I just... people can't look at them and be like,
I'm going to try it, I'm going to try it.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
Anyway, thank you so much for joining me.
I have a whole playlist of reaction videos
for you to check out, so do that.
Give this video a thumbs up, consider subscribing,
and I will see you very, very soon. Bye.
