Great idea for a video would be to do swatches to show color theory combos and how the colors can mix, mute, mud, contrast, etc when used together. A black or white base can also make a big impact on depending/lightening the colors uses 6 but would be cool to see multiple swatch combos and how to use color theory as it applies to makeup. Showing how it impacts makeup in a long video would be very educational and entertaining.
You know… I actually swatched them on my hands and never filmed it for some reason! Black and white would change the tone for sure, but tend to just lighten and darken in makeup.
@@RobertWelsh Could also use some tips on how to tell if a color has more red or blue in it. I’m currently trying to teach my 14yo this so that she doesn’t make the same mistakes I did at that age. 🤡
Definitely feel a longer form video is needed for someone who has zero “color theory” knowledge. Because, I didn’t grasp how you should pick colors.. I can see how to visualize if a purple has more blue or red in it - but what colors should I stay away from based on those undertones?
So important to understand colour theory in the makeup industry. Its wonderful to see a trained makeup artist explain some of this in an easy to understand way.
I thought I was the only person who faced muddy eye shadow looks which is why I’d try SOO hard to keep it simple. Thanks for sharing your tips Robert 🤗
Beauty bay is an absolutely perfect eyeshadow palette to learn to use colours. You can get a palette with literally every colour of the rainbow in it for no money at all. Love that rob was using it
The way you sigh at the end says it all!! This look is 💣🔥💜 I/We truly are BEYOND GRATEFULLY to you 😇 for once again teaching this old 🐌 COLOR theory 👏 😘💜
I would love to see you do an example showing us what u mean. It's kind of hard for some of us to visualize.... Please and thank you. Love you Robert!!!
Such a wonderful video Robert! Could you possibly do like a series with different color combinations and the color wheel? Or just like a color wheel masterclass full length video?! I feel like we could all greatly benefit from that ( or at least I would ). I love you and your content sooo much! Have a great day Robert! And never stop being you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Robert, I absolutely love every single thing you do! You're just brilliant and pretty much the gospel - if Robert says it's no good... then it's no good 😅 I believe a lot of us feel that way! It's just easier! 🖤💜 I'd dearly love to send you a private message about something horrible that happened to me on 2/10 and the entire month of February. I'd like you share it with James as well. I'd really appreciate it, it would mean the world. Not a scam or anything like that. I just believe with the lovely personalities you two have, y'all would be the best to share this with. Great video! Have a beautiful, blessed day 💕🐞😊
@Robert Welsh I had something happen to me by my sister, that led to me being in the hospital for 18 days, and when I came out, my home had been robbed by my drug addict daughter, her best friend, and my granddaughter. They took about 90% of my belongings, from a can opener to almost all of my clothes to my parents ashes. I just wanted to privately talk to you (both) for a quick minute, if you would be so kind. If not, I completely understand. I'm sure you get requests like these all the time! I still watch and adore you both immensely! 🖤💜
@@iamtammydee oh I’m so sorry to hear that! Of course you can message me if you like, I’m not sure i can offer any good advice though 🖤 I also can’t speak for James
I think the blending is the most important part of avoiding muddy eyeshadow looks. Do not over blend. Put the shade where you want, blend lightly, blend the edges of it, then leave it alone. Do the same with each color on the eyelid. Then stop! Don’t over blend
This is obvious to me because I went to art school. But not everyone needed to learn colour theory in school so they may not be aware. I love how you explained this without being patronizing.
Hi RW 👋 more of these *please* . more of this type of "teaching-style" content *but in long form* so that you don't feel the need to cram it all in (behave yourself) AND so that we don't get unmotivated to learn by getting a ton of overwhelming info all at once. Thank you 🙏Thank you 🙏Thank you 🙏
Your makeup look is so stunning I can’t pay attention to the video I just keep staring with my mounts open you are so gorgeous and the makeup skill is 🔥 😮
I'm an artist so I'm very interested in color theory. I'd love a video (or multiple) that focuses on how to utilize color theory in makeup like this. I think that seeing visual examples of how these different undertones complement or neutralize each other could be really fun and helpful for a lot of people. Love your videos
@@RobertWelsh it amazes me how companies can put colors in a palette together that they know won’t mix well. A bunch of warm berry tones and a few pops of cool blue or purple? No thank you. I paint with watercolors so I love eyeshadow palettes that look like my paint palettes.
Careful, cause green is not a "pure" primary color, it's a secondary color made with yellow and blue, so a green with more blue (almost like a turquoise) will be better to use with a purple with more blue in it (like James said).
I used to mix car paint. Every base color has between 6 to 60+ colors mixed together. To create color, you need color! Once you understand how color works, you’ll never have this issue. Thanks for educating us on the science of makeup! It’s everything! 💋🤍
I do a slightly bronzy gold all over and then a red based purple for the l our corner as my every day and it looks amazing (occasionally i add a blue green pop in the crease)
I would explain ot to my beauty school students like this, if u mix all 3 primary colors its brown. So purple is red and blue, the missing primary color is yellow so any color containing yellow, whether its yellow itself, green or orange is going to add that missing primary and its going to go brown. You dont need to remember the color wheel as much if u just remember the 3 primarys and how they mix ti make secondary, which we all learn as kids.
Where did you get those beautiful palettes? I love that they are separated colors with basically every variation of those colors in all different finishes ❤❤
Here's my question to you, Robert. In one of your most recent YTs you said that most people know that in order to make your eye color pop, use a complimentary color. My eyes are green. But red eyeshadow makes me look like I have conjunctivitis. I don't know why. Please help me to not look contagious.
I couldn't figure out why when doing my "mermaid hair" of blue, purple, and green, the purple wouldn't show up and the blue turned to teal so my hair just looked green :\ followed the color wheel, though, and while it's still not perfect, i have obvious color variation now :D
You think this is hard, just imagine how tough it is when they react and become a whole new colour and can break. Glass is an evil mistress when you fuse it.
Hey! I do! Right before I film I use the Optrex Brightening Eye Drops. I found them on Amazon but I got a multipack on there somewhere! But these are the exact ones! - Optrex Brightening Eye Drops, 10ml amzn.eu/d/iV9KW6z
Am I too stupid for this? 😂 I was JUST saying to my hubby how my colors all turn to brown…. Is this theory that you SHOULD use opposite colors? Someone help!!!!!
I use the same palette you use, often only one color packed on WITH eyeshadow primer, and a few hours later 80% of the color intensity will be faded 😭😭😭 what am I doing wrong??

You're like the fairy godmother of makeup. Saved most of us from a lot of muddy looks 😂✨

such amazing advice as always, also, loooove those two beauty bay pallettes the best formula on the market!!!
Thank you! Yessss they are such a beautiful formula!
@@RobertWelsh which ones are they pls? I need them in my life....
Good god this pallette you used is so gorge, and so are you.
You’re always so mesmerizing to look at, I have to replay a couple times to understand what you speak of☺️

Mkay but what palette is that because ya girl can appreciate a good true green
😂 it’s from beauty bay! It’s their big green one! 🖤🖤
Wilderness by Beauty Bay!
OMG great point! Why didn't i think of that? 🤦🏻♀️
I totally didn't think of my makeup like my art supplies. I will now. Thank you ❤
You are a genius! We know this colour theory with hair, why have I never considered this with make up.
Yea! It’s pretty much same across that board!
😩 so complicated. But I’m determined to learn all this stuff.
Thank you
"let me tell you something something color wheel something" sorry I am too mesmerized by your eye makeup haha!

The color wheel is very important ❤❤
Thank you for going over the color wheel. I think color theory is so important!
Color is a science. Also, your eyeshadow is very Mardi Gras!!!
Your makeup look is so stunning I can’t pay attention to the video I just keep staring with my mounts open you are so gorgeous and the makeup skill is 🔥 😮
Oh man as an artist I never thought to look at this. Amazing!
As someone who loves and deals with color theory often, I’m glad to hear it being brought up in makeup more
Only with the Subculture palette. Anything I put on turned grey pretty soon after, though, so not a blending issue. 😅

As an artist I use CYM colors because if you mix a cool red and a warm blue you end up with muddy brown. Color theory is complicated.
😂😂😂 omg … let’s not get into CYM right noooow 😂 it is complicated and seems to stay the same.. yet change throughout all forms of art

I love your imput it's incredibly intelligent
All I could see was the amazing eyeshadow palette. I want this. xD
Same color theory for hair colors ...never thought about this lol
This was truly informational. I do makeup and skincare education and this gem gets saved for later! Great work!
This is good! Love that sigh at the end!😂
Thank you so much for explaining the problems I usually have with color mixing!❤😊
So helpful! Love it when you give tips like this 🖤
My mind is going back to Kindergarten days with the color wheel! Great advice!
You are an absolute star! Your wee words of wisdom are super. ❤
Every time I have told people this when it comes to makeup they tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about 🤦🏻♀️
I LOVE these palettes
what palettes are they?? (literally going through comments to see if anyone said what they are :D )
Do I understand color theory? Yes. But it took your video for the light bulb to turn on. Thank you for posting this!
This is brilliant, thanks for sharing

This is your weekly reminder that this is ROBERT in the video. 💜
excellent explantion!
Color theory confuses the fuck outta me but seems so simple at the same time 😂😂😂
Never forget the true primary colors! Magenta, yellow, and cyan!

Can you please do a tutorial for your rainbow look in that “red lip fix with highlighter “ reaction video?
Great info 😁
I literally cannot tell you if a color is warm or cool to save my life.
Thank you so much ❤
I needed this! Thank you ❤
My brain 🤯 it feels like your Mathing too much math is what my brain feels 😂
The palette! omg! i need to know what it is!!
Yes! Please give some more color combinations that work and that won't. ❤
Teach it betch!!❤❤❤😊
As a colorblind person, this hurts my brain 😂
Can you do a look using that green palette
What palette is that??? I need all the greens! 😍
I can't tell you which one it is, but look at the B in the shades - It's probably Beauty Bay Brand.. Robert really likes their palettes!
It’s the big beauty bay green palette!!
Where did you get those beautiful palettes? I love that they are separated colors with basically every variation of those colors in all different finishes ❤❤
You fried my 60 yr old brain. But you’re doing a good job explaining. 😉

What is that palette 😍 also love color theory
Head spinning!!!!!
What pallet is this?? I love Green shades 😱❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Robert 😊❤i love your work and i am a new make up artist is there any books youwould recomend me using?
You think this is hard, just imagine how tough it is when they react and become a whole new colour and can break. Glass is an evil mistress when you fuse it.
Unfortunately yes
