Hey everyone! Follow me on TikTok! @robertwelshMUA! 🖤

[gabbyg]

I respectfully request a " how to fix ruined make up" video. Like best, most efficient, time saving practices s/a when your eyeshadow looks perfect but you accidentally put your eyeliner all wonky, or your liquid lip slipped out of your hand and now you have joker mouth but you gotta be out of the door in five minutes. Pretty please and thank you

[lovejoy]

You know what makes me feel validated? Seeing Robert recommend products I already use.

[a_headless_chicken]

Can we appreciate how Robert's rings are getting more and more extra?

[EvelynSanchez]

The fact that Robert can’t say Niacinamide & James can’t say Juvia’s Place is too funny and cute 🙂

[katrinamartin]

Robert is like a totally different person here compared to who he is on the other channel lol he's so professional and serious here 😂😂😂

[deejay]

Not skipping any ads, cause it's what Robert deserves 💁🏽‍♀️🖤

I did my makeup for the first time on my 24th birthday. I always looked for a smooth, no crease base like the influencers have and was never happy with any makeup I used to do as experiments at home. So after watching you for months and finally being able to go out, I did my makeup and I felt beautiful and confident. Thank you, Robert🥺

[nexbatista]

FINALLY a tip for not creasing under the eyes other than "put some setting powder over it". That does not workkkk at least not for dry undereyes!! Bless you 💕

[deejay]

Robert's constant battle with niacinamide just sends me 😭😂😂

[ethereal_illusions]

Like a canvas, if the base isn’t properly prepped or absorbed, the “paint” (aka makeup) won’t last or glide on smoothly.

[doctorxjekel]

Imagine a video where Robert teaches James to say Juvia's Place, and James teaches Robert to say niacinamide 💜

[salasty]

I just love the overall aesthetic of Robert like please, show off 😩💅🏻✨

[aestheticallysyd]

I will forever say, getting rid of powder completely, has been the best makeup decision!!!! I don’t look as aged and crusty! 😂 I have dry skin and powder did me NO favors! Now my makeup looks soooo much better! It stays supple and dewy and amazing 😂♥️♥️

[AzDesertFoxx]

I have a make-up hack I haven't heard anyone talk about: I use eyebrow gel on my bottom lashes. It's subtler than mascara, lasts ALL DAY, and looks pretty natural. Has anyone else tried this? I've been doing it for about a year now and really love the results.

[bridgetmaybe]

Elf has this Stay All Night setting spray that I use under my foundation and again once my whole base is done. When I tell you that most of the time my makeup looks flawless after an 8hr shift in a mask.. it's insane. That with their Putty Primer legit keeps my makeup on all day.

[rantygobshyte]

OMG for years I haven't been able to get any foundation to stick to my nose - I've tried powder, primers, eye primers, eyeshadows, the lot, but here goes for the eye

[PirateQueenEtta]

You're an angel Robert. My oily yet dehydrated and sensitive skin with maskne thanks you in advance. Make up just hasn't been sitting right on my face for the last year. 😅

[MoniqueV]

Not a makeup artist, but whenever I have a big day and have to have my makeup done, apart from my skincare routine, I'd always make sure to use a face mask for hydration. Just like what Robert suggested to use a hydrating serum. ♥ I've received compliments from my makeup artists, telling me that they found it easier to work on my face because of my preparation before they did the makeup.

[JLB]

At this point, my bare skin is preferable - foundation/concealer actually highlights flaws rather than hide them. So I stopped wearing all complexion products. I still go heavy with the eyeshadow and mascara though. I’ll never give that up.
