I kept putting off washing my makeup brushes recently because I remembered it as being this huge chore that took me ages. However when I finally did it it barely took me any time at all. I was remembering how long it took when I had one of those big brush sets and had forgotten how much faster it would be now that I have narrowed down my brushes to only the essentials. I now just have a foundation brush, blush brush, bigger fluffy bronzer brush, contour brush, small powder brush (I don't use much powder so only need a small brush), eyeshadow brush for placing product, fluffy eyeshadow blender brush, and thin liner brush that can be used for both brows and eyeshadow as liner. Eight brushes does not take my long to wash at all and it means I can grab all of my brushes and throw them in a makeup bag when I travel, instead of having to think about it.

@@yennycho8226 if you’re a makeup artist I’d recommend a contour palette from an indie brand that has grey and taupe shades. That way you can mix them with the skin tone powders for clients of all skin tones. If you want something for yourself, individual products are truly better when it comes to highlighters, bronzers, and contours, unless you find a palette where you can use most of the things. It’s good that the elf palette works for you, even I can use 3 out of the 4 so for the price it’s the best face palette among mainstream brands for me

That's what keeps people coming back, instead of coming in once and buying a full face of expensive products that aren't what they want before switching stores. Plus the more people come in for stuff, the more chance there is that they'll impulse buy new releases as they see them.

Primer really depends on what you're doing. When I was stripping and needed my full-glam makeup to last like 9 hours of sweating, talking, laughing, drinking, and eating (but also it only needs to do so in dim lighting) it was a must-have and I always noticed when I didn't use it, but day to day I rarely felt the need for it. And same with falsies, I only use them in the club because otherwise my natural eyelashes will vanish in the club lights lmao.

I started using an actual grey eyeshadow for contour a few months ago after another video of yours in which you recommended it. It was transforming. I just bought, on sale that was the only reason, a KVD grey cream contour and it's amazing. The tiniest amount is great and it's easy to warm up if I need to. It does create a shadow and not just another stripe on the face.

I use black foundation mixer pigment to make my own exact shade of contour with my foundation or concealer, if anyone prefers cream/liquid over powder. It's awful for what it's meant for, which is darkening a foundation that's too light (just turns it ashy, not the right way to darken foundation) but makes the EXACT match for your skin. Pigment mixers are so useful, you can make your own color correctors too (not to mention lighten, cool, or warm up mismatched foundation as it's supposed to be used.) Great ways to use up extra foundations and concealers you just don't care for.

People who think they have to put falsies, or do anything in their makeup routine what they don't want to do, make me actually scared. Makeup should be fun. You should do whatever you think will look good on you.. that way of thinking: I don't wanna but (s)he did it so probably I should too... No! You do you. And be happy with the effects 😁

Falsies are supposed to be fun. I save them for nights out or date nights like valentines day, def not a requirement for a daily face.

Completely off topic here but I’d love to see a video on how to sanitize makeup! In this day and age I feel like it’s something everyone should do from time to time. Right? 💜

I personally never use contour or bronzers, just because I feel like they don't really add much to my face, nothing against them at all but gimme a blush and a highlighter and I'm all good to go!

I think that's the point. Contour and bronzer are for me at least how I add depth back to my face when foundation flattens it. I literally never wore foundation because I hated how unnatural it made my face look until I found contour. I realized I needed to add structure back that was lost with the foundation. I assume you don't have the same issue because your face is already structured even with foundation that just a little blush adds what's needed. I remember watching this streamer Valkyrae's makeup routine which was very simple and nothing you would see from a beauty guru. All she did was put on foundation and blush for her complexion and it looked perfect because she already has a very structured face. My point is that contour and bronzer aren't necessities. It is for me because my face is a little too round for it the structure to show through the foundation, but if you have that already its not only unnecessary but will probably look worse.

That’s the great thing about always being on a budget (at least when it comes to non-necessery stuff like makeup and cosmetics in general): I can only buy so much so I ALWAYS ponder every purchase and I end up using every single thing I buy because it’s something I actually enjoy and that makes my makeup look better/apply easier etc. Thanks for this video!

I cant really stand beauty gurus, but Robert is just so realistic with makeup and has valid points. ❤

I don't use eyebrow pencils anymore. My brows are already really full so I really had nothing to be "filling in" at all. I just finesse them with concealer and keep it moving. I look so dumb with filled brows😂

@definitelynotalizard

Same! My brows used to always look like I'd overdrawn them even when using a super light pencil, it's way nicer with just concealer and soap brows.

You just saved me from buying another primer, another contour palette, & a new brush set, Robert. Those are literally in my shopping cart right now. Thank you. 😆

"Eyeshadow, concealer, things, stuff" Me, talking to people about everything. I always start a series and then realize I only have one or two examples at the ready.

You’re so right ! I have too many brushes that I don’t need to the point where I only wash the ones I actually use ! Also I’ve always been advised to buy “green” corrector when my skin had blemish but I’ve always found that yellow concealer works million times better because it cancels the redness and it’s easier to blend into the skin color

I'm cutting out setting spray and powders from my routine. Although makeup KZreadrs REALLY abuse them!... they're just not necessary if you have good products that give the finish that you like.

Robert, I think it would be an awesome idea to do reaction videos to your subscribers makeup routines! I’d love for you to give me constructive criticism! What I should do, what I should omit, etc! I think it would be a fun video!

Go for micellar water with reusable microfiber pads if you want a good clean feeling. No matter how a makeup wipe is formulated, it's irritable to the skin and it's just simply not as effective as other ways of cleaning so you end up wiping way more than you need to, causing more fine lines. I prefer to cleanse with a balm in the shower for heavy makeup days before my regular cleanser. For light makeup days (or even no makeup days), I go with the micellar water and cleanser.

“Eyeshadow, concealer, stuff, things” 😂😂 Always great makeup tips and a good laugh!

If you're struggling with false lashes, Eyelure makes these amazing "pre-glued" lashes that I've worn for 14 hours with NO lifting! I love there texture 117 lashes, but they always would lift in the corner, or I'd have a hard time applying them. (Or any lashes really). I highly recommend the eyelure pre-glued lashes to anyone else struggling. You literally just set them in place, and press gently along the base . Voila! (Not sponsored, lol)

Hey Robert! I would love to see a video about different styles of eyeshadow, based on eye shape and size. I know there are loads of different creative looks with eyeshadow, but not all of them are flattering on my eyes. I would love to hear your perspective on this!

I just love watching his videos. Whenever I am having a bad day he just cheers me I dont know how he does it. Keep doing what you’re doing Robert. We love you🖤

„Is it nice to have loads of brushes? Yes. Is it nice to clean them all? Not really” that resonated with me even more since I just spent over an hour cleaning my brushes 😂

Absolutely Robert, you are telling everyone to do what we did before makeup became an internet thing. We used to use ashy shades of eyeshadow to contour and didnt use colour correctors other than yellow toned concealers and primers simply didnt exist! I use most of my makeup brushes for weathering miniatures in dioramas I am making because they work really well with chalk pastels! lol!

I absolutely love all your videos! They are so helpful! I have watched beauty influencers and have been convinced to buy things and then tired the method and it looked horrible! I love that you’re so honest yet still so kind and uplifting! 💜

I find a lot of people will, when they go off on rambling tangents, just sort of sum up the point they're making in the cc but yours just follow exactly what you're saying and that's really really nice. To be honest I have stopped wearing foundation a lot of the time. Maybe its covid-laziness maybe it's maybeline lol but i have pretty smooth skin and a natural celtic flush so I just pop a bit of highlight on and call my skin done.
