I feel like skipping makeup days helps with the blindness. Helps you remember what a normal human face looks like.
agreed. and doing your makeup differently at times as well
@@laur83yes, switch it up!
Yes! Last year I was sick for a whole month and wasn't going anywhere nor I bothered to put on any makeup. When I eventually got better, I just liked my no makeup look so much that I didn't want to do my makeup at all 😅 Took me a couple of days to have that real yearning to put some proper makeup but even then I decided to slow down a bit and use way less than I used to.
@@GiovannaIwishyou I have gone through the exact same thing. I have a serious chronic illness, so I only wear makeup a few times a month. I just use a tinted moisturizer, blush, powder, eyebrow pencil and lipgloss!
Normal human face... as opposed to?... 😂😂
as a 16-year-old who loves experimenting with style and makeup, i’ve already accepted that in ten years i’ll look back and want to strangle me. but feels cool now so screw it 💃
Hopefully in 10 years you’ll have lots and lots of self esteem and be able to look at your old questionable makeup choices with kindness and laugh. 💕
Real. I’m having fun, and wearing smthn cringey is really nbd lol
Enjoy this beautiful time of play and joy😘 We get so caught up in so called “perfection” that we totally forget to have fun. Even “cringey” or “ugly” things now have so much creativity, expression and authenticity to them. Sending you lots of love❤️
PERIOD. Never let miserable and vain people stress you out about looking weird/unflattering for having fun with your style. Ever.
at least you have that self-awareness 😂 i felt this way during the blinding highlighter phase.
i dont like any social media trend that encourages women to shame their past selves in front of an audience
same
This needs to be pinned, bc same
It kind of annoys me how they say “why nobody told me?” But then if someone had mention anything about whatever looks a little odd or out of place, some people on social media would react really badly, if not them, their followers would just throw hate at you…
@@lilithcarter also when we are in our teens and early 20's we don't accept other people's views easily.
Bruh shut up everyone had a makeup blindness when they tried makeup and I did too it happens with everyone eyelashes anything it’s not just women say James Charles and his big eyebrows was makeup blindness
To the woman who wore white eyeshadow under her brows... You remind me of my sister from that era. Chicana culture in the 2000s will always have a place in my heart. A little frosty brow bone never hurt anyone!
right!! i thought it was so pretty honestly i love that style
I’m still doing it 30 years later.
She looked so pretty 😊
That was the in da club look for sure
im a black girl and i loveee when i see girls dressed like that to this day😭
Makeup at least washes off. What about filler “blindness?”
…. That video is in the works … 👀
That's something that's gotten out of hand 😢
this is the REAL blindness going on
YES!! I look at so many people (especially celebrities) and wonder don’t they have anyone in their life that’ll tell them when it really looks bad?
that is the REAL question here, seriously 😢
I have the perfect solution to make up blindness. Just get yourself a really snarky daughter. She'll definitely tell you what you are doing wrong!
I have 😂one of those ! Lols! ❤
Step one: obtain baby girl
Step two: wait for her to age and hope she’s snarky 😂
Ouch!
Or a snarky niece!!
@msdouglas12100 right! Any little sassy girl young and older will tell you what's up if they are comfortable enough to read you. Let me tell you! My girl is 21 and words hurt. But, I don't want to look like a fool, so she keeps me straight. And she really does her makeup beautifully so I guess it's ok.
My husband’s cousin has the worst lip liner blindness I’ve ever seen, and I hated the feather brow and insta-brow trends but it makes the people who like those trends feel beautiful to do them, so I keep my damn mouth shut about it. Not a single person on earth is going to walk around feeling less beautiful because I tried to impose my personal preferences on them.
That last sentence though. We need more people with this mindset!
For 25 years I’ve had thin and drawn on brows and I got so many shit comments about it and was even bullied online by a boyfriend’s ex. I lost my brows due to autoimmune disease so it wasn’t a choice I was making. I ended up getting them tattooed my a regular tattoo artist (this was pre-cosmetic tattooing) and then just got more shitty comments about them. I never could win.
@@xeaux I’m so sorry, that should never happen! Brow trends are so cyclical and I think it’s easy for people to forget that having brows that will support following trends is a luxury that people with fine brows, certain illnesses, and some other things I can’t think of off the top of my head right now will simply never have the opportunity to partake in. Tastes are so individualized too, so no one is ever going to be pleased by everyone’s aesthetic and it shouldn’t be expected!
@@xeaux Omg I’m sorry 🥺 People can be so unkind. Also I hope you’ve found ways to manage your autoimmune disease 💕
The best brow tutorial I go by is from Mario. Start filling in and shaping at the end and work your way to the beginning of your brows. It’s helped me tremendously.
Hate the obsession with tearing ourselves apart and criticising everything :/ sure we can have a quick “oh noooo” when we look back at pictures but it’s so deep these days and it doesn’t need to be 😩
Yea it can be fun to laugh at old trends but some of the videos that I see just make me sad.
Honestly to me the whole "makeup blindess" thing is yet another thing for mostly women to be insecure about. Especially if people are now afraid that theyre currently experiencing some type of makeup blindess, relax, if you like your look then thats what you do. And yeah everyone looks back at their old photos and cringe but does it really matter? No. Enjoying the moment and being secure with yourself ensures that you never feel any type of makeup/look "blindess".
THIS 💯!! I look back on old photos and remember the time. Not the makeup. Cheers!
as a side note- if that’s you in your pfp omg you’re GORGEOUS that makeup is absolutely amazing
@@lovrboi haha its me, ty so much
Exactly! I'm so sick of BS like this.
Sometimes it doesn't look how you want it to look so it can be helpful to reevaluate
Oh I have to comment again because the “take a break” advice is something I learned from a teacher when working on art. You really do have to reset your perception otherwise you start becoming desensitized to mistakes.
Artists do this all the time. We'll have multiple pieces going because we literally are too close to what's good or bad about a piece. You get perspective.
I'd never thought of it before but as an ok knitter (nothing too complicated) I find if a mistake happens, if I put it down and start again a while later, it all becomes clear.
Or looking at it mirrored. When I was drawing digitally I'd flip the image and any inconsistencies would automatically stand out. Although I hate looking at unmirrored photos of myself (gets a bit uncanny valley 😂), it really helps me see if my brows or lip line is uneven.
@@DannersKananersExactly! Especially with a portrait or something you want to be symmetrical, looking at it in a mirror, or flipping your sketch over and tracing it on the other side will show you if there is a special error.
Definitely, I set aside a painting and start something else and then go back.
I feel for younger women like my daughters in their 20s. It’s not that I wouldn’t love to have my youthful skin back, but all this focus on the minutiae of makeup seems so exhausting and anxiety-inducing. When you’re my age I promise you’ll look at pictures of yourself at 20, 25, 30 and think “Why did I think I wasn’t beautiful then?” Because you ARE beautiful, right now, as you are. Do your makeup how YOU like it, or skip makeup if you want. ❤️
I wish I could like this 57568 times. Yes. When you get older, you just think about how lovely you were. You will wonder why you thought you were ugly, fat or what ever. You're beautiful!
Saying someone has “blank blindness”because you don’t like how it looks is so inaccurate and rude. I understand the term but it seems like people are using it incorrectly so I really appreciate this video! I love that you differentiated it between trend or makeup blindness because most of them were trends.
Winged eyeliner never goes out of style, especially in alternative communities. She did a good job on hers and nothing to be ashamed about.
I love it, and still do it. 20 years now! ❤
It was bold but I liked it. It suited her features.
same w dramatic lashes, drawn on brows and black/dark lipstick in alt communities lol
I stay wingin it. But as an Elder Scene Kid, I am tired so I do much less make up now. The wings aren’t going anywhere tho. And neither is the black eye liner that’s as dark as my soul. 😂😅
Right? It was a little further out than I would take it, but she did it really beautifully like Robert said. Absolutely no shame there. Can she come teach me??
More like trend blindness. Some people would do anything to be "on trend". Make up, clothes, shoes, etc. Still happens today!
Trend Blind and Proud 🎉 I probably am Makeup Blind too 😂❤
@@HeatherHunterJ , for sure! We just all need to live and let live! 🙌🏽
And, as they age, though, they don’t change the look at all. 😢 I see so many older ladies trying to still be 1985, and it looks awful. Dyed black hair and too much almond eye liner and layers of mascara, all globby. Adds 20 years to you.
this
Yes! It is trend blindness and not "makeup blindness"
The white under the eyebrow is SUCH a look I absolutely love it, the 90s/early 2000s makeup style is absolutely coming back and she did it so well
I think what's hilarious about the eyebrow blindness trend is that none of them seem to understand how having completely straight or arched browse with minimal to no tail is not natural either. Yeah, if you think you had eyebrow blindness then what makes you think that you don't have it now?
He's right that trends are the most ubiquitous way that people look at things.
💯 I was looking at "nobody had eyebrow blindness like me" girl and thinking yikes, the blindness is worse now than it was in the old photos. IN MY OPINION, ALLEGEDLY.
Literally the best eyebrows are ALWAYS just whatever your natural shape is, enhanced a little bit. And by enhanced I mean plucking stray hairs or filling in sparse areas. (If you want to do anything at all!)
Changing your brows drastically will always look weird. Unless you're doing a super alt or super wild look on purpose and that's your aesthetic in which case go nuts
The "no tail" thing - I think those are just her natural brows 😅 Might shock you, but some people only have half brows with a tail that fades out as the hairs get sparser. I see it a lot in East Asians, for example
@@tessabutwithoutnumbersyes I was thinking the same think but felt so bad to say 😂 I know she’s just following the big eyebrow laminated brow trend but tbh it looks bad on almost everyone, except maybe supermodels and even then.
My makeup blindness is just due to the fact I'm legally blind without glasses and have to look 2-3 inches from a mirror to apply eye makeup.
Girl, same. I never even thought about my brows because my glasses frames covered them. Well---then I had cataract surgery and just need readers. I saw my brows are getting grey and a little sparse so figured I'd just whack on a tinted gel and good enough....hahaha no.
@@mouse2390 this happens to me too then you put your glasses on and you’re like oh boy what have I done?
Same!!!! Yall I feel so understood!
Same! The way I cannot see when I’m doing my makeup at all.
That’s why I make my younger sister give me a once over before I leave the house if I’m wearing makeup so she can make sure I look right
You wear your make up however you please, don’t let anyone tell you how to wear it.
As long as you’re happy that’s all that matters.
White eyeshadow under the brow doesn’t even look bad now… that lady’s makeup looked great AND that era of makeup trend is back in style
she looked great honestly!
Yeah it was a vibe! And early 2000s trend is back.
The woman with the white under the eyebrow had flawless makeup, there was nothing she was blind to other than that perfect blend.
That second to last woman who was questioning herself was absolutely STUNNING in every way. Just tells you how delusional and messed our society is right now that a woman like that would be doubting herself and her choices so intensely. She’s legit the definition of beauty, I think she would look gorgeous no matter what she did.
She is a model, idek why she is in the conversation 😂 but just sad that it is to the judgment is to the point even the most stunning humans are questioning their appearance. It’s just weird.
it's the age-old dunning-kruger effect 😭 we overestimate our skills in the beginning, but as we learn more, our eye improves, and we become more critical of our abilities so our skills improve but our perception of them decreases. im really fascinated by the concept in terms of skill building, but i never applied it to makeup until now lolol
I underestimate my skills until someone says I look good. I'm neutral and high saturation but low contrast, so I need less sheer formulas but softer colors, and more colors.
Phew i have never in my life had confidence when i go into something, except for maybe the confidence of knowing i don’t know anything lol but that’s on having a Korean mom 🥲
@@maryeckel9682what do those words mean? 😭
I’m going to spend at least a week getting lost down that rabbit hole now
@@frogbIogRight? Is this code for something?
From the perspective of a neuroscience grad: what you've described in "taking a step away" is really the key to SO MANY aspects of human psychology. We really can lose our sense of perspective, not being able to "see the woods for the trees" as some might say. When too close to something, we can and often do lose clear sense of perspective. That's why therapists need therapists of their own, why doctors can't write scripts for themselves, and why sometimes you might encounter the phrase "learned helplessness" in which victims of abusive relationships may become accustomed to their relationship dynamic as normal or unavoidable. We ALL fall victim to this. Don't stress if you look back on your 2016 brows with disdain, many do 😅
Exactly! I was thinking about the thing that our brains do when we drive a regular route-it fills in the background from memory so we are focused on driving. So many times I have ridden with a friend and asked, ‘when did that new building get there?’😂
Indeed! At the same time, if it's the aesthetic is the wish the wearer is wearing, the wearer likes it, who is anyone else to say something does not look good. It would be arguable.
@@justkiddin84I have (unfortunately) done this many times myself! Driven somewhere I go often and just “zoned out”! When I arrived I would be thinking “how did I get here?” It’s honestly crazy to think about!!! 😮
I like the way your mind works! Hope that doesn’t sound too weird lol, actually 🤷🏻♀️ that’s me, can’t help it! 😊
@@loco7357Me too! There's a stop sign on my way home that more often than not, I wonder if I stopped at. Kinda terrifying. It's really amazing what our brains can do!
I feel like the clean “less is more” look is timeless.
Hard agree!
It’s called I’m over 40 and I don’t give a sh*t anymore. I’m running late for work, can’t see with my glasses off and can’t apply eye make up with them on, not current on the new trends, dead tired, over worked and under appreciated and this is the best I’m going to look. You’re lucky I even showered this morning. As long as the winged eyeliner is somewhat symmetrical I’m good to go.
I am in that stage of life and I LOVE IT ! I dont wear makeup but just now I am daring to wear clothes shoes and accessories I never did before cause I thought I would look ugly or ridiculous. At this age I have more "flaws" than ever before but the thing is: I.Do. Not. Care. Anymore. It so sooo damn liberating !
I felt that this morning. I will feel this way tomorrow. Likely many more days.
The older you get, the less you give a f*** what other people think. I do wear makeup, but very little and my wardrobe is getting louder and bolder.
amen. same. if you don't like it... don't look.
“Not retro, just like 20 years ago. Oh… it is isn’t it?”
😂
That realization just got me 😭😭😭
I was just reminded that I was born in the 1900s. 😂
@@kellywojcik7206same. 😂
@@kellywojcik7206I’m vintage 1978. I need a nap and a Centrum silver.
@@BrandiMattison Sporting my third pair of bi-focal glasses, I'm exhausted, yet I'm an insomniac, and my daughter made a cultural reference to the year 2000. She was born in 2011. I used to love watching red carpet fashion, but I don't know who these people are! 😂
Someone actually had the audacity to ask me to my face why I did my make up a certain way…. I don’t think they expected me to say, “Because I like it this way.” They looked confused, as if they were surprised I said that….. Like it was as if they expected me to be like, “I know- it’s awful isn’t it?” People can’t seem to understand some people just have different taste. Oh well- more weird stuff for me. 🤪
Can I suggest you some answers, please? (As a goth who' s been asked this and that all her life and one day decided to go creative).
1. Oh, it' s a religious thing. One of our 66 commandments😌.
2. Because when I woke up my partner was not there and I found a note instead: IF YOUR EYELINER DOESN' T REACH YOUR HAIRLINE, SOMEONE WILL DIE TODAY. I' LL BE WATCHING YOU. (If you are skilled, proceed to cry😰).
3. Because I lost a bet. I want to remove it so bad! 🫣
4. What? Are tou telling me that my eyeliner is THAT long???!!! Omg! THANK YOUUU!!! I hadn' t realized. What the hell would I have done if you didn' t tell me? Seriously, endless gratitude🙌🏼.
They are all royalty free, needless to say. Don' t hesitate to use and modify them😜.
🧛🏻♀️🖤
@@sebumpostmortem another answer?
If you worry So much about my makeup
It must be hard getting anything done in your life
Omg , I work in a bar and people, older I might add make comments all the time about my make up and clothes! Wtf! To add I'm 50 years old lol . My lashes look dumb I get and my socks are wrong!! Oh and I'm way too skinny!
average goth experience lol
My roommate got asked by a coworker, "How are you always so colorful?", and seemed genuinely surprised when my roommate said that when they went shopping for clothes, they went to stores with colorful clothes and bought them.
The moment of self awareness of your body in the room made me laugh so hard. There are just some days I feel like a robot who just became self aware and it always makes me giggle, so to see others go through it is so funny to me
Honestly, I think this whole x-blindness trend is either an excuse to fish for compliments or to bash others. Like with the lip girl, instead of 'I don't like the way you do your lips' it's 'sorry girl you've got lip blindness, I'm objectively right and your makeup is wrong'
Social media takes people who are absolutely at the top end of any reasonable attractiveness scale and makes them question everything, it's wild.
Right!?
It's mind blowing isn't it?
this is why i hate social media
Jessica Clements, the one who asked what blindness she might have, is literally signed with Ford Models. There is no winning.
My attempt to give myself a “tan” before bronzers existed…that brown eyeshadow didn’t know what was happening to it🤣🤣🤣
🤣
HAAAAHAHA!!!!
Bronzers existed I assure you lmfao
😂😂😂
The eyeliner girl had such a slay liner, this is the shape i strive for when I do mine! I dislike current no liner trend, I have pale skin and dark eyes and brows, I feel like my makeup lacks contrast without it. Wings for life!
I'm fair skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes and naturally brown lashes. My makeup really DOES lack contrast without liner. For a more subtle look I literally just use brown liner not black
It was a little too long for her face and eye size but it was executed flawlessly. I would just remove like a smidge of the tail.
your moment of dissociating and realizing youre filming is so real
Fear-of-makeup-blindness: I just found a name for the feeling I have gotten every single time I do my makeup
well, the good news is, pretty much everyone goes through it at some point, and they all improve the more they practice. granted, it's good to try and practice the right thing, but like makeup changes dramatically every 10 years, so just do the best you can :) sincerely, someone who finally figured out eyeliner lol
I beg you- try out a colorful 60s mod eyeshadow look! I hated my face and hated makeup, but trying a colorful non-trending look helped me find fun in makeup xx
Thank you for leaving that "out of body experience" in. I love when people are open about it and it helps others!
Robert having a momentary existential crisis. Same.
I dont really like how this trend is making people paranoid about how they look, this has become a "nice" way of commenters just insulting the way someone does they makeup without giving any actual actionable advice so now every beautiful person on the internet is worrying about whether their lips looks nice, whether their brows are the problem, is it the eyeliner? The hair? The way its spread is just unlocking new insecurities
The ”take a break” advice is good. We use this advice in writing, especially with drafts and when something feels weird or lacking. We would step away from what we wrote for a day or so and then come back to it with fresh eyes. And it's always fascinating to see how good or bad the stuff we wrote actually was because the state of our mind during the time we wrote that is different from today.
Same in painting: if you get off track, step away. Otherwise, you're going to overwork and end up with a real mess.
@@maryeckel9682 indeed 😂
That’s why it takes me a week to write an email 😂
Okay, almost all of these people looked completely fine! I don’t get it. The looks might not be trendy right now, but they still looked good! The white beneath the brow one particularly got me, because that make up really suited her!
yeah she looked good AF!! she ate that look
I do not care about makeup blindness. If people think my blush and glitter is too much oh well 😂 it’s fun! And I love it! Y’all should do the same. Have some fun with your makeup guys!
Robert: Excuse me, I've just become self-aware 😂😂
I think the current style of combing eyebrow hairs upwards will be looked at the same way in ten years. Tbh I find the style weird in the present too *confession time over*
I think the style is interesting in an editorial kind of way, but not as everyday makeup. With the overgrown-ness of the brows, it reminds me of old grandpa eyebrows lol
I was wondering if I was the only one who doesn't like this trend. To me it looks ass on most people.
i think it’s fun but it definitely works with certain styles :) i love funnnn different look tho
@@arianam6430 it reads crazy scientist to me :D
Ugh yes the soap brow trend! Very few people can pull it off imo.
The depersonalization around 14 minutes is so relatable and weird!! I hate that feeling 😨
It's been a while since I experienced it but it's definitely unsettling.
i get it a lot maybe bc of adhd it's annoying
I get that when I’m doom scrolling by myself.. like who am I even talking to
I’m glad that you mention that it was a trend at the time. It’s almost comedic how we collectively seem to always believe that the current beauty standards and trends are the ultimate ideal.
lol the last person was fishing for compliments 😂 ma’am you’re gorgeous
the side part center part girl is definitely fishing for complements lol
Oh, YES! The playing with her hair really made it obvious to me.
didn’t know we were here to tear other women down 😅
her eyebrows are literally so good though and I wish that was more of a "trend" vs the laminated brows!
@@kitaurajunction I don't think it's a tear down just to state the obvious 😂
@@VeganDeterioration call it what you want. Seems like hater behavior over a woman who felt cute 😮💨
I love how you're saying "I'm sorry" while you're actually complimenting them that they were on trend 😂. I had concealerblindness when I just got the MAC pro-concealer. I was so happy I found a concealer that REALLY covered my dark circles, I just didn't notice my face was flat 🤣
🤣❤❤
I love that you can critique without being cruel.
Because he's a professional 🖤
Yes, he’s very refreshing considering how casually nasty people are online nowadays.
I was told never to comment on anyone's makeup because the only thing that might be holding them together was a bit of eyeliner. Makeup is like their armor. I think you did a lovely job explaining this "makeup blindness" without being mean and I want to thank you for that. I hope you have an amazing week ahead!
i think the brushed up eyebrows and the extreme dense lashes are now in but in some years people will hate it looking back.
Especially lash extensions. Everyone will laugh because they had caterpillars glued to their eyelids 😂
The caterpillar eyelashes + the extreme lip filler, definitely. Over lining too, to a lesser extent
Robert lip synching to Robert is perfection🥰🖤🥰
You are so kind and sweet to all the people discussed. No shaming, no blaming, just funny and lovely. Thank you 🙏 💝 🙋♀️
omg please the dubbing was so funny. i love you robert lmao
Lip-synching to your own voice MUST become a thing, now! That was trippy and awesome!!

Don't worry, Robert. Sometimes I talk to myself in a room alone.... but there's no camera 😂😂😂😂
Robert I’m crying at the voice over bit at the end, it looks like when you try and watch a foreign film with the english audio dubbed over it and it doesn’t sync up 😂 I’m easily amused.
People are going to look back on fillers and cringe so much
💯! Especially Lip Fillers!
Yes. But fillers can't just be wiped off.
@@Anna81Louise They do go away and can be removed, so they're still temporary
Omg the lip syncing at the end 😂💀 New format unlocked.
It was so uncanny valley
yeah it was so uncanny how it was weirdly convincing. it reminded me of AI videos of people
I’m scared 😂 lol
I’ve never commented before. Oh, my goodness, Robert, your eyeshadow today is just … everything!
"I just realized I am sitting in a room talking to a camera" is a very Robert thing to say🤣💜
I never tried any of the trends, but then I've been doing my makeup since the 70s, and I truly enjoy seeing everyone experimenting and leaning into the trends.
I do my makeup however I feel that day, or just moisturizer and sunscreen, but anyone who wants to try any trend or not, brava or bravo! Feel good about yourself, and cut yourself some slack.
I think living through several decades of trends helps us be more selective.

@@maryeckel9682Yes, as long as we change it up a bit, because our look should change and never stay static.
And the ‘70’s focus on the natural look, with supermodels covered in freckles, etc. 15:41 Like this young lady, who looks lovely!
The thing with all of this is that it’s SO subjective. There are things I did with my makeup that looking back I do think were horrible. These days I usually love how my makeup looks, but I’m sure other people wouldn’t. I don’t follow brow trends (& never have). I get a lot of compliments & blocky black brows. However, I have no doubts that some people think they look awful.
You were lovely in how positive you were breaking these down into trends v. techniques.
To me, "{insert parts someone doesn't like on someone else hete} blindness" is not a real syndrome, but just another way to allow strangers behind a keyboard to make people self-conscious, are bullying tactics, and it's perfectly fine to tell them to *meow*k off if they're being rude.
Its related to body dysmorphia generally! You think you look awful without makeup so any makeup that gets you closer to trend of the day seems like an improvement. Even many celebrities and models from past trends look ridiculous now, even when done by top mua of the day.
I remember when I first learned about contouring in High School, I didn’t know what I was doing and just drew two brown lines with eyeshadow on my cheeks. I was walking around the halls looking like a cartoon and no one said anything 😂😂
🤣🤣🫶🏼
Omg meee toooo! 😮 loool! But I’m quite dark skin so I used black eyeshadow. Whats crazy is, this guy I liked asked me on a date that day, so I’m glad he was just as blind as me to my makeup 😂
I love how gentle you are..."It's not that bad! That was the trend and you did it well!" ❤❤❤

I used to do a cat eye every single day, if I left the house I HAD to- and it was clumsy for a long time 🥴 but I’m years and years out from dropping that habit and I can still knock out a razor-sharp wing with whatever eyeliner I’ve got ✨ Muscle memory~
I try not to sweat those old photos. I know that each time I do my makeup, I do my best with the knowledge, products, and skin that I have. It doesn't always end up looking the exact way I hoped it would but it's never extreme so I have no shame. I prefer a more subtle look. I put effort into my appearance and I don't leave my home uncomfortable with my application. I can't let fear of makeup blindness be added to my list of anxieties.
💯! I remember the time I had, rather than the makeup I was wearing. The way it should be.
Cheers
I kind of love things being a product of a time period. I think In some ways - yes it’s good to develop your own personal style outside of trends - but I also love when things aren’t timeless. Its a nice way to see the ways we changed alongside our culture/communities! Like the lady with the white eyeshadow, I thought she looked lovely 🩷
This is such a nice way of looking at things, thank you for sharing :)
What a great perspective 😊 it’s like a shot into that time period like when we look at 50s style or flapper style. It was all the rage back then and maybe we wouldn’t wear that now but it sure is fun to see how things have changed over the years.
Thank you for your compassionate take on all these. It was refreshing
I have to admit that once the less makeup trend came around that's the hill Imma die on... I like how I look with basic, everyday light coverage make up and that's what I have done for like 4 years now
makeup blindness is such a good term for it. it applies so universally and it’s wild to be able to look back in retrospect and see the mistakes 😭
I think I'm in my IDGAF Era because if something goes wrong with my makeup I just embrace it and name the look something like "Mermaid Zombie" or "Ice Capades Lap Dance".
If I mess up my mascara too bad I just lean in and call it "diet grunge inspo" lol.
_Ice Capades Lap Dance_
I CAN' T 😂😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆🙌🏼🖤
Yep. I really couldn’t care less about being blind to how randoms see my look because I’ve never desired doing my makeup for the public’s approval, and I don’t want to taint my love of personal expression. It’s so much more fun to experiment and play with makeup/fashion than to play it safe 😂
Yup. I literally dgaf. Lol.
The end with the voice over was very funny for some reason haha I think I've always had brow blindness but it wasn't really. I just didn't care that they didn't look on trend enough
loved hearing your take on this! most of the time when i saw people's videos about makeup blindness i also thought they were just following the trends at the time and doing it well, so i hope no one is harsh on their past selves for how they wanted to look at the time 💞
As an illustrator, I completely agree with your walk away tactic! It seriously helps!
I used to have makeup blindness due to low self esteem. I hated my face so my makeup was all about changing features I disliked rather than enchanting ones I like. As you can guess it wasn't flattering. Eventually I stopped over bronzing, over lining etc as I grew older and more confident, followed less trends and focused more on technique and now I am like 95% sure I don't have makeup blindness 😅
I had just mentioned the low self esteem too… don’t you wish we’d met Robert like 20 years ago so none of us had to go through low self esteem or blindness?
the eyeshadow compliments your eyes so well!! Love it
I caught myself giving some nasty comments on some of these women, but then Robert was being so nice and uplifting about them all and I was so embarrassed for my nastiness 😢. Robert you make me a better person❤
I loved your out of body experience moment that you had to pause for. Relatable
Bad tips that wont die - over lined Cupid’s bow, highlighter down the nose, bronzer everywhere, false eyelash overkill, black eyeliner for everyone.
I still wear highlighter down the nose 😂 tbh I love it. The worst has to be covering your Cupid’s bow though. That has to be the most beautiful part of the lips.
You are such a sweetheart ❤. The way you are gently explaining trends and the compliments on style and execution were so refreshing from all the mean and condescending texts that add no value and purposely meant to hurt the person learning new steps in application❤. I have a teen daughter, and we watch videos of yours and your brother. She has young unblemished skin, and I plan to keep it that way. THANKS for always adding value to the makeup community.❤
The last section with the voiceover is such a great way to demonstrate why I think you’re an awesome creator! Fun, silly but also doing your best to provide great quality content.
The walking around the room to reset the eyes is such a good technique!! Especially when trying to match eyebrows 🎀🎀
I’m getting flashbacks of my *ORANGE* foundation that I wore all throughout sixth form 😭
*dream matte mousse flashbacks* I remember once someone saying as a joke about something orange "that looks like [my name]" and that day I went home and threw it in the bin 😂
I really appreciate your compassion for people for being on trend. Your support and truth is so helpful for everyone. Thank you for being so real.
You've been so kind and supportive of people through the whole video. It feels good to watch this kind of content 🙂
The dubbing!! Are you the AI James is taking about??😂
DubBert is my new favorite genre! Well done, Robert. Fun to watch 😊
I had a bad case of husband blindness, TWICE. So I got rid of them. I wish it had been as simple as using a cotton pad and some remover. 🤣🤣🤣 #DoubleCleanse
Your honesty and your kindness are just so lovely. I really appreciate your videos so much, not just for the advice and information, which are terrific, but because of your really down to earth and realistic attitude. I started watching to find out about makeup blindness and to see if I could tell whether I have it, and was just delighted by your appreciation of...idk, our shared humanity, I guess. Trends change, and experimentation is awesome and necessary for growth and self discovery, and nobody gets it right every time anyway. ❤
Haha the end was so funny. I just love how genuine you always are.
OK, but can we talk about the way your temples are shaved and how they fade out making your zygomatic bone look so high, oblique and elongated?😍 Brilliannnnttt!!!✨
🧛🏻♀️🖤
WHAT😅
This better be satire😭😭
Imo a trend I think people will look back on and wonder why they were doing that is over highlighting the tip of the nose. Some people are a bit too heavy handed with it and then it's all I can see. A shiny target right in the center of their face, I can't look away
Oh sooo many things. But mostly learning.
But really, the whole "realizing I'm sitting here doing this" was the cherry on top of this video. Bloody love it.
I love you and your videos Robert. You always keep it genuine, classy and kind 👌🏼
I love videos like this! I never go on tiktok and I get excited to consume it through someone else's eyes.
