That "over 40's" clip made me cringe so intensely, she came off in a very judgmental manner. It reminds me of past jobs where I'd have coworkers make similar negative comments towards me because I was apparently too "high maintenance" with the way that I chose to wear my makeup (comments, mostly unprompted, like "you clearly don't have any kids," "I just don't have time for all that," etc.). Live and let live. I don't judge people for spending 5 minutes on their makeup (or for going bare-faced), so why should they judge me for spending an hour on mine?
Yessss always the kids 😂 i wish I had the guts to say back „idc bout your kids, you fkn made them yourself. it was your choice! sucks to be you, leave me alone damn”
That was a Karen in her protective cage. Imagine her out in the wild. Get over yourself! Oh, and don't pump the tube of mascara too much air in the tube. Everyone knows that. Lol.💜💜
Same here! Am about to turn 50, and for me (single, no kids) half the joy of going somewhere is the "getting ready" of it all :) An hour is nothing, I can spend the whole day on hair and makeup, and often its actually more fun than whatever I'm getting ready for. Also, taking more time allows my base (foundation/concealer/powder/bronzer/blush) to "become one" with my skin, due to its warmth - making it look WAY more natural. When I don't have all day, I literally use a hair dryer to mimic the effect. 😄
As a 44 year old woman who has also been a MOM for 21 years; I feel the need to say I do NOT claim that angry “real mom” as part of my clan. Thanks. I don’t do graphic liner but I do enjoy bronzing, concealing, contouring, highlighting and using bright colors / multichrome shifty and shine to the high heavens eyeshadow. I don’t care if it emphasizes my wrinkles and crepe eye lids. Looking in the mirror and seeing all the sparkles adds joy to my life. Isn’t that all that matters!?
Hi!🙋🏽♀️45 year old mom here! Don’t know what mothering and makeup up has to do with each other. I use what I want, when I want and how and where I want. I use all of the things. Some days I keep it soft and natural, other days I spice it up!
@anitrachere7024 You don't know the connection between makeup and being a mother? 🤔🤔 You must've had a rare circumstance to your mothering experience. For nearly every mom, we are so busy we don't have time to do makeup most days when kids are young, and when we do it's not much time. The connection is that most mothers never are out in full makeup (or any in many cases) because they just don't have time.
It was wild watching that lady talk about "how 40-year-olds do their makeup"... My mom is in her mid 50s and wears purple glitter eyeshadows and colorful bottom liners. Hell, my grandma is in her 70s and wears bright blue mascara everyday. Having fun with your make up has no age limit.
That’s so awesome!! I love seeing “grandmas” (even if they aren’t grandmas) wearing bright colors and glitter. Makes me so happy. No one has to be a certain way at any age. We’re the same person all our lives. Why not just be a human and not categorize by age!
Your mom and grandmother seem awesome. I love when older women don't limit themselves beauty wise. I don't plan to either. I love makeup and will continue to !
It's funny because it's usually younger people telling us we can't use glitter or shimmer past a certain age, but that's actually a very outdated belief. The products and the way we do makeup has changed a great deal. Products used to travel into microscopic fine lines, most people didn't use anything to prime for eyeshadows, etc. Products like glitter glue didn't even exist and drag queens used to be the only ones who regularly used a setting spray- which was usually AquaNet hairspray. Yes, if you have lines and wrinkles and you don't use the right products, and you don't prep at ALL, it's not going to look flattering for long. But that's so avoidable these days that people sound ignorant and old fashioned when they say you can't do this or that. Even cheap products are so much better now than they were 20 years ago. They are a lot more forgiving. We also have access to so much more information on how to get the best results. But when it comes down to it, if you are happy it doesn't matter. Nobody should be telling you that you "can't" do it. Aging already sucks, let us have fun, it's not hurting you.
That 44 year old mom is really giving “the things that were cool when I was young aren’t considered cool anymore and I’m mad about it” vibes. Alternatively, she gives “I’m not like the other girls, I don’t even know how to do contouring, I’m so cool” vibes.
Exactly! At first I thought that she wants to talk about that makeup isn't that serious and that everyone can do it no matter what age, but it quickly turned the way you mentioned. I guess she confused the creators who do everything to become viral with creators who really do love makeup.
As a "real mom" myself who is starting to notice that I'm aging a bit and can't exactly pull off some of the youngster styles, I think it's sad that she feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself. I love the creativity I see from young women doing their makeup and I think it's so important to enjoy every stage of your life to the fullest. Instead of being bitter about aging and all the new things younger women are doing, I want to celebrate it, and try to incorporate new things in my own routine where it's reasonable and works for me. Aging is an inevitable reality and life is just too damn short to be bitter about younger people enjoying their lives.
As a 43 year old mom.. please don't let that old angry woman represent all of us middle aged ladies.. I for one love the current beauty industry and I enjoy learning new techniques as well as being proud of how well I've developed my own.. that woman has some other personal problem that she probably should get therapy for instead of making aggressive and condescending videos. Love you, Robert 💚
Yeah I remember a few years ago when my mom was 40 she was all excited getting into makeup and learning to contour and trying to find her undertone. Tbh she has a new fav hobby every year, last year or two was calligraphy, I think now she's into math puzzles :)
33 year old mom chiming in: She seemed so aggressive and aggravated about people doing their makeup differently than she chooses to. It's incredibly off-putting and the whole thing came off rude and unnecessary imo. Edited for clarification 🖤
I think she's angry she's an old dog who can't learn new tricks. Nothing wrong with updating one's style or techniques. I'm 44, mom of 2 adult children and self taught. I like being current and the artistry intrigues me. She's just basic, and that's ok too. Just don't come for us painted ladies and we'll leave her to her "basic bitch phase".
@@jordanisbadnews I agree and it made me get a lil snippy in return. We shouldn't have to defend our style or the way we choose to get ready. She's just mad she isn't aging gracefully. As we all know, it's what's UNDER our makeup that counts!
My mother (who disowned me) called me a drag queen impersonator because of my makeup. When that "real mom" came on I had a real genuine panic attack at how close she was to that woman. Her children are miserable, I promise you that. They're not allowed to grow and be modern and get cursed at for trying to. I promise you that.
or maybe she is so busy taking them everywhere, she does not have time to contour! Maybe she needs to be ready for the formal dance recital 5 minutes after bringing another kid home from soccer practice, which was 2 minutes after her shift ended... Not every mom is bougie, my friend! We here trying to hold it down and do everything for everyone and still look half-way presentable with no time to do our hair and makeup.
@@nonenone5413 that has literally nothing to do with what I said. Where did I say every mom needs to be bougie? I didn't say anything about moms needing to wear makeup, period. I wasn't even discussing her points on makeup. I was discussing /how she parents/. I recognized very particular red flags in her behavior of narcissism that as a survivor I can personally recognize. I'm not the only one. Why do you think the whole internet was mad at her? She took the opportunity to get online and tell the whole world what to do, lecturing grown adults like children. Just like a Narc. Mother does to their adult children. Just like my mother did to me. I KNOW what kind of woman this is. I was talking about HER, not makeup. Reading comprehension and emotional control are very adult but very important skills you should master before taking on the role of leading a new life into this world. It worries me you act as if you are a parent and don't have those yet. But as he said, just like her, "There's no fact in what she's saying." Because yes, I rewatch videos and comment accordingly. It really feels like you didn't. I was commenting on the SUBTEXT of this woman. Which is what he was talking about too. Not what she was saying but HOW she was saying. What she was REALLY trying to say. Did you not go to 11th grade English, I know education is a privilege, and if you missed out on that I understand but DO NOT under any circumstances use that to diminish another individual's tribulations. Which is EXACTLY what you did. I said my mother DISOWNED ME. Your reply was to whine about how hard it is to be a mom and carpool to soccer as if that defends bad parenting? I am baffled. Truly and unequivocally baffled. Sadly for your strawman, I'm a makeup artist and I don't wear makeup daily, even when running errands. (The day in question where my mother insulted me, was a holiday get-together, hence I was wearing a full face of makeup. It was not overdone and in fact, one of my more understated looks as I only own 3 Matte pallets of n>d3 colors and remember specifically not understanding how I could look like a drag artist when using a Morphe Matte N.d3 pallet.) I only wear it when I'm working or for events. It's better for my skin. I literally defeat the argument you're trying to make about whatever type of person you assume I am and assume I think people should be based on my literal career/life balance. That's what assuming will get you, a completely defeated point. My comment said that a mother does not have the right to abuse their child simply because they do not share the same makeup taste as them. The fact that you missed that completely and literally lunged at the chance to attack a survivor speaking out, says so very much about you and your parenting and none of it is good. You're legitimizing C.A. through a mother being stressed. Here's an idea. If you are doing so much that you need to verbally abuse your children, which is what I was talking about and what YOU ARE EXCUSING. Whether you meant to or not. Then don't do so much. If your kids want to do so much that it FORCES you to treat them in a way that will permanently damage them then here's a novel thought, SAY NO. Suggest carpooling to soccer with other kids. Get therapy for yourself or invest in classes on time management. Your inability to handle stress is never and will never be your children's fault. Your comment whether you meant to or not is openly blaming children and their needs for parents' stress and their inability to handle it. If you can't see that screenshot it and take it to your therapist. My mother abused me, partly because she didn't want me to pursue my dreams. After all, they were not hers. Not because she didn't have time to do her makeup. You sought out a 1 YEAR-OLD COMMENT because it was a formally abused child SURVIVOR speaking out. In what way, even if you did disagree is that ever appropriate. "Oh, you were abused? Well, maybe it was YOUR FAULT!" That's what you just did. In what way is that okay in this world? Don't ever question or insult someone's trauma and abuse. What is wrong with you? The only way I can logically understand that is because you felt threatened. I think you know someday your kids are going to be saying the same thing. That they hated the way you talked to them. If you talk to random strangers online about some of the most difficult things a human can go through the way you just did. I can only imagine how you talk to them when you think no one will find out. On top of that, the way you talk about activities tells a lot more. I promise you if your kids are in so much crap you don't have time to think, then THEY DON'T ENJOY DOING IT. Most of the time in those situations the parents are either forcing the kids outright to do that much or they are being forced by guilt. Also, no one told you to have so many children that you don't have time in between events. Did I, or anyone, let alone your children themselves FORCE you, or anyone who acts like this, to have them let alone more than one? I mean come on, even accidentally after the first one you can't tell me you don't know where they come from. EVEN THEN, no one forced you to keep them. To get on here and whine and nag and complain, oh woe is me, I have to support my children and can't emotionally abuse them because they want to grow and be contemporary like any emotionally healthy child would. JFC. I feel bad for your kids. I truly do. I hope when you're alone, old in a home, bitter because no one will visit you, this comment comes to your senile old brain because someone warned you.
@@Eleanorscatmom wow, that was an entire novel and I am not reading it. I read the first portion, enough to read you insulting and bullying me - and I am done. It seems like I really struck a nerve.
@@nonenone5413 How am I not surprised that a narcissist refuses to read a well-written argument against them? Such disrespect after openly blaming me for my own abuse. You told me "Uh maybe your mom was Uh so mean to you because uh you wanted to go to soccer too much." Stupid. You're also outright trying to hide from the fact that you lost the argument. Furthermore, I didn't bully you, honey 💗. I just told you the truth. You may have the right to say whatever you want online, but you also are going to get put in your place. Like you did by me & you're too much of a COWARD to even read it. Or admit you did & admit it hurt. But wait let me guess her big defense to this will be to whine that she won't read this either. If you can bark the bark you can bite the bite. You commented arguing to me. Then back up your argument or admit you were either wrong, or you shouldn't have started it in the first place. If you're not willing to defend your position I feel that's the only adult fair thing to do. Accept responsibility that you talked out of the wrong hole.
As a 61 year old woman I have never felt like that angry mom feels about make up. I am a "real" mother now and I was a real mother in my forties too. I love makeup and what you can do with it. I have a daughter that is a special effects make up artist. I LOVE learning new things, trying new products and new techniques. I have horses and have trained and taught. I used to get flack for having painted nails and mascara at the barn. "Horse women don't have time or make up." For goodness sake. Hun, you do you and let everyone do themselves.
Especially since once your nails are painted they are harder to break and therefore more useful. And if you use a good polish it takes...like half an hour to do? And then you're good for a week unless there's a really unfortunate accident? I specifically paint my nails a day before doing gardening so they don't break all over the place. And mascara....thats like...1 min...getting dressed takes longer. If thats too much time should I come to the barn naked??
Exactly Like, she tried to tell her daughter that she uses too much makeup/does too much and her daughter said off handedly that she didn't want her tips or that she doesn't like how she does makeup; not thinking that she'd take it that deep and made this video in spite and hurt
I agree, it definitely gives that energy. But instead of saying hey, can you give me tips on new ways to do it she got angry I think what Robert said was pretty accurate, too. We get told that it's not 'mature' to use certain colors after a certain age. Problem is she doesn't realize she can, her own self confidence is holding her back, nothing else Edited for spelling
She’s jealous of her daughter. Women like that have bought into the lie that a woman has no value once she’s too “old” for men to appreciate her. But one day they get old too and they get so very, very bitter. How sad.
The ending killed me!! Also the mom was so judgmental, yet defensive about her techniques as if she’s being judged. I don’t think anyone cared how she does her make up. Her insecurity is so obvious
I have the impression that this was not her point, thou... I may be wrong, but that to me felt more like some rant about all the superfluous and pricey (but, just a wild guess, absolutely vital for her teen or preteen kids) make up fads that are proliferating recently. she's not saying "look, I'm using cream blush! what a breakthrough!", but "look, you can survive without 200 different face sculpting techniques (that will work only on camera anyway), like many generations did before you" which, to an extent, I can understand. granted, she could have done it a lot better, with a little more tact and a lot less self-righteousness. should we show her some of Robert's content? maybe she'll see the right way to express that concept... 😇
Exactly! My makeup is sooooooooo much better for what I have learned now and I even took classes later on because wanted to learn even more. If she doesn’t want to learn… her problem!
@@yaiscolors we should always be learning and open to new ideas. Not every new technique or twist is for everyone and that’s fine. Slamming and generalising a whole generation was not cool by her.
I wear drag amounts of makeup when I want to, therefore my 8 year old who I birthed myself does not exist. She's not real and neither am I. Yep, checks out.
My Grandmother recently asked me for bright blue, purple and SPARKLY eyeshadow for her birthday! And she bloody works it cause she's fabulous. She had painted herself in a box of only using brown because she "has wrinkles" but has inwardly been jealous of all the crazy lovely colours we have now. I'm so proud of her for breaking out of that box and doing what she wants, screw anyone who would try and push her back in.
To the old lady - my grandma, a cancer patient who survived cancer once already and is on second round w the nasty thing, who works hard and everything, has introduced make-up techniques to us, always wears her favs, enjoys the self-care of it, she let us, her grandkids, do her makeup and then she did ours. For fun! She loves to see how me and my sister wear it and always supported us. Not all older ladies are bitter and salty ❤
I'm betting she has teenager daughter(s) who like to go bold on colors and she feels jealous that she can't do those because she's "old" or she feels like people are leaving the simple ways behind - I have seen older women using more than that and they look absolutely gorgeous!! It also makes me wonder if she feels very insecure about herself due to her using the filter while putting makeup on herself...hmmm 🤔🤔
@@thatdeafdaydreamer no I'm pretty sure this was a joke because of a 5 minute crafts type of video she saw. I mean, I could tell that from the beginning. It was a joke post which is why she used the bare minimum. And what she said about "these girls" and whatever. I think you and everyone else missed the joke. And Robert did too which is why he included it. I only realized it because I'm a mom and I never have time to do my makeup with 3 kids running around. So when I saw her saying, oh wait, do the curler, do the light eyeshadow below the brow, do the lipliner because the girls are doing it lol. That's what got me. Because, especially the added light shadow and lip liner....we don't do that if we're in a rush like her lmfao. We just do eyeshadow and mascara and maybe do the curl. That part cracked me up. I dont loke my lips unless my husband takes my kids to the store with him and I have maybe 1 hour to do my makeup lol then maybe I'll line my lip even though I'm insecure about it and then put on lipstick lol. Any other time I do my makeup in 20 mins or less, nah. No lip liner. And I push it with 20 mins because I'm rushing to get the kids ready. I'll do one eye. Oh I gotta dry one kid off from the bath. Then I do the next. Then dry the next kid off. Then I'll do mascara abd if I'm lucky, do eyeliner, which I suck at, while my husband gives our baby a bath. Then I dry him off and dress him (I have 3 boys lol) and then I put on mascara and just say, okay I'm done lol. Don't do anything to my brows, just my eyes and swipe on some lipstick and I'm good to go. Don't even do foundation. That was so much easier when I had one kid, or even my oldest when my middle one was a baby since babies sleep a lot and my son would help me dab on foundation lol. But no, it's a joke. If you missed it or didn't understand it, I'm sorry lol. But that whole video was just a joke from a mom making fun of 5 min crafts bs again lmfao
It was obviously coming from a place of deep insecurity. It's so sad that she feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself. Life is too damn short to be bitter about young people having fun.
THANK YOU for your comments about women in their 40's. I don't know why she is angrier than a boomer discussing avocado toasts, but I'm in my 40's and I wear my makeup in full glam goth, with contour and the whole stuff. And I love it. If she's happy that her routine has worked for her since she hit puberty, more power to her, I actually love learning new trends and techniques.
Amen. I laughed out loud when he said "this world's so crazy" because that's exactly her attitude, like people trying new things with their makeup is going to cause the collapse of society. All these fake moms and their CREAM BLUSH 😱 WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN 😭 I'm glad he pointed out how none of the rules she thinks she's breaking even exist...
The fact that that lady calls herself a “real mom” is a huge red flag. That means she considers some mothers not “real moms”. I’ve heard people say stuff like that before, usually it’s those people who say if you can’t push out your baby you’re not a “real mom” saying that women who’ve had c sections aren’t real moms because they gave birth differently. People like that are just angry at the world, from my experience it’s because they’re angry about their life.
I feel like she also peaked in high school, so she is clinging to her hair a day makeup style from back then. That and being a "real mom" are all she has
She prob doesn't consider someone a real mom unless 1. they only spend 4 mins on their looks and tell everyone how little time they spend on themselves 2. they're so sleep deprived that they verbally abuse their kids and refuse to believe any childless adult is as tired as they are, a la "i have children so I deserve to be at the front of the line for coffee" 3. Buy too much wine and call every day Thirsty Thursday
I can't wrap my head around it. Like how can anyone consider a c section birth less valid then a natural birth??? I know a youtuber who gave birth by c section and she said "If you give birth through c section, your labor begins after the anesthesia wears off" and even though I never gave birth I can see how that'd work. So it's not even like c section birth is a walk in the park. Also, can we get rid of the idea that we have to suffer and if we don't suffer we're not real this or that and it's not good enough?
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 what gets me the most is generally a c section is done because there’s some kind of complication. So those women who say it’s not a “real” birth are basically saying that whoever was in danger during that pregnancy that made it necessary to perform a c section are basically disposable. And that just blows my mind that someone could think like that.
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 All of my sister's 3 kids were c-sections, due to complications, and they were no walk in the park; the recovery is intense. All the people saying it's the easy way out because yOu DidNT hAVe To pUsH, well she had to trade pushing for major abdominal surgery sooo
I turned 40 on Friday. Thank you for reassuring me that I can still wear my makeup however the f**k I want. I’ve been feeling very insecure about getting ‘old’ and you made me feel better ❤
It just gets better. You give less and less of a shit what anyone thinks of you , I’m her age now and even though I’m disabled and larger than I used to be due to hormonal nonsense and medications I wouldn’t swap the attitude I have now for the terrible insecurity and self consciousness of my 20s. When they say life begins at 40, I know what they mean now. Your consciousness evolves and you stop taking any more shit (all going well,) as that little hourglass goes down. You literally realise you don’t have time for people who make you feel like crap or don’t add to your life. Once you’re over the shock of turning 40 you will enjoy your 40s no matter what, I promise!
@@HotFlushSummer thank you! And I hope you’re right. So far my 40s have been stressful because of the run up to Christmas 😂. I’m sure they’ll improve. Have a great festive period if you celebrate.
@@jbax5521 I know what you mean, I think this must be my most stressful Christmas yet! I hope yours goes really well, not too long til things go back to normal after all that build up now! I remember when I was 20 thinking I’d hate to be in my 40s, but strangely enough the wisdom that comes with it, it’s really not so bad. 42 is a very special age for a woman, I think that’s when you really come into your own after all the testing times you’ve had. You realise how strong you are and become a lot more fearless! 49 is also said to be a huge creative and spiritual power-year. We’re from a generation where we were told women were somehow on the attractiveness and career scrapheap post-40 but it’s so not true, we become less controllable I think, and more likely to be in the driving seat of what we will and won’t accept wherever possible and safe to so do. Happy holidays and here’s to your naughty 40s as they say, lol! ✨✨✨
Shout out to all the fake moms getting ready out there! I hope that woman is doin' okay and someone hyped her up or made her feel better because clearly she needed a hug.
@@HeatherFonseca For real! My initial internal response (and I'm 45) was that antidepressants and beta blockers work for me, but maybe a glass of wine and turning off cable "news" would help as well. 😄
Negative Nancies like that "real mom" are a real drag. Sorry someone insulted the way she did her makeup, but that doesn't give her the right to lash out the way she did.
@RobertWelsh someone remarked on her age, I'd bet any amount of money. I'm 34 and when someone commented on a friends age(she's my age...shes starting to really show her age due to smoking/drinking/tanning heavily from 16 to 30 and she wears a lot of make up to try to hide it) she snapped like this. She tried to defend how much make up she wore. I told her, u don't hsve to defend shit (even tho I think she wears too much, but that's her business), it's her face.
I think she's jealous of something or someone she saw online. I'm approaching that age group but I don't look it and I shall do as Robert commands whatever the f I like as far as my makeup goes 😋 no matter how old someone is as long as it looks good to you DO IT😁
And I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think they’re all Asian brands, either, right? I think there was at least one or two that weren’t. I do remember the one she did that actually advertised three different tones and still didn’t work 🙃
@@kittentree198 Yeah. not all of them were K brands. Heck, Black Radiance used to carry a color changing foundation too and that's a brand that is known for focusing on deeper color ranges.
I will say, I use some of those products as a professional makeup artist. They absolutely need body heat & friction to work. When applying on yourself, use fingers not a brush. And they definitely do not fit all complexions! But I’ve learned how to combine different elements to make them fit. I’ve still never seen one for darker-darkest complexions, only lightest-dark mediums.
I screamed at that q-tip wiping off the mascara. I’m 44 and am like 🤦♀️ at that whole thing. This is why I love watching Erica on TikTok because she’s actually helping ladies our age look our best without what we just saw there.
@@PCLHH It's not really that she used a qtip, it's that she licked/put her saliva on it before putting it around her eye area/lashes which isnt the best hygiene ☹ Best to dab the qtip in a bit of water than risk infection.
My mom who's in her 70s loves asking employees beauty counter what the trends are with blush placement and eyeliner and brows. It's really not about being "in your 40s," it's a weird rage at beauty, youth, and actual non makeup related change. All I can say is thank God for Gen Z because now at 36 I found the most flattering angle and easiest way to do my eyeliner!
34 and I absolutely love Gen Z, they're great. I use makeup tutorials from younger women all the time because who can't use interesting and creative new ideas? If they don't work, they don't work, and you move on, but sometimes you learn something great. It's just sad to me that this woman feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself.
@@vintagearisen agreed, but I have also found some interesting stuff from old makeup youtubers on youtube. Not the kind of makeup youtubers who have done their makeup the same way since they were 12, but actually makeup youtubers who had to learn to accent their faces differently and take their new skin textures in mind as they aged. For instance, "i used to do this but now to achieve the same or similar effect i have to do this instead". While I don't have any wrinkles yet I have hooded eyes which they often do.
I'm 41, and a year ago, I got my letter from the make up institute. It explained all the things I'm no longer allowed to do. No more cream blush, I had to throw away my brand new eyelash curler and get an old version one from the mature makeup shop. They only sell powder blush, brown eyeshadow, and just the one eyebrow pencil. I am gonna miss just putting mascara on my top lashes. I might keep my contour to put in my memory box to show my grandkids. Didn't everyone get a letter on their 40th birthday???
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I' m spanish and extreamly gothic so I guess that I never received this letter because nothing works in my country and my community is pure acceptance. Buuuut, just in case, I moved when I was 39 and I didn' t modify my new address and city when I renewed my ID. Currently 48 and wearing my "black swan" eyeliner without any problems😌. I would pin this comment if I could, I swear to stencils. Thank you sooooo much for making me laugh 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I hope I get my letter delivered by an owl. Maybe I should start wearing mascara only on my bottom lashes, you know, get it out of my system since I won't be able to once I hit 40. Bonkers that she doesn't see the irony in complaining about new trends and not "being cool" on fkn TikTok.
Wait until you get your 50th letter. No more shimmery eyeshadow or highlighter as it emphasizes wrinkles, and only nude lipsticks. I was almost arrested last week for going out after using my Ofra On The Glow palette - not only for using it but buying one while over the age of 50. Thankfully, I had a safe word to text my husband so that he could hide all my orange lipstick before the raid.
I am 44 and a mom and the 44 year old bitter woman does not represent all of us. I love your videos because I love getting tips and trying new things. That woman has a hell of a chip on her shoulder for no reason. No one cares what she is doing.
That over 40 lady was so angry! I'm 51 and a mother of 4. Most of the things that she was so against are things that have been around since she was born. Access to techniques is the only thing that is different now! Which I love. I recently learned how to do the "bat wing" eyeliner for hooded eyes. I love your content and have learned so much from you.
Thank you Robert for calling out the 'real' mom. I am a 'real' 61 year old mom and Oma and I do whatever tf I want. I I love you and James for making that point all. I follow your tutorials and sometimes buy and try your recommendations. Keep doing what you do!
Hello, fellow 61 year old! I'm a mom and a grandmom, and I feel the same way. I do my skincare and makeup the way I want to, and I don't belittle the way anyone else does theirs. Everyone is different, after all.
I'm 46 and when I was much younger we makeup wearers were shamed for wearing "too much" makeup. So I think a lot of people my age see less makeup as inherently better(including my lifelong bestie). I think the 44 yo lady is trying to make herself feel better about her very dated makeup and application styles. But she didnt have to be so bitter about it lol.
Exactly. I remember doing makeup like that in high school in the mid-late 90s. Times change, techniques change and trends change. There's nothing wrong with trying them and seeing if they work for you. And I have NEVER put a Q-tip in my mouth to wipe away mascara. That's disgusting. If she kept up with current makeup trends and techniques she would know you just have to let the mascara dry and then use a clean spoolie to gently scrape it off.
That is a good point, and it brings back memories. Perhaps for this reason I only a few years ago started wearing makeup, exploring, learning, and enjoying it. I'm also in my mid 40's and it took time to feel the freedom to look however I want without feeling judged... even by myself.
I love that the "real mom" gave you so much to touch on with her aggressive and spiteful video that you didn't have the time to touch on her sticking a q-tip in her mouth to clean off the mascara she sloppily applied to the lower lash line.
As a 42 year old woman, I can’t thank you enough for the reassurance that I don’t need to throw out all my makeup in two years. 😏😉 But more importantly, I freaking LOVE your eyeshadow in this video. 🤩🤩
I’m so glad Robert reacted that way to the “over 40s real mom”. I saw it on TikTok and I just remember feeling really horribly judged by her! As a 37 year old who does like to keep up with make-up trends, I don’t want someone from my own age group being disparaging just because I choose to use cream blush and an eyebrow stencil 😂
I can't believe she is acting like powder blush and brown eyeshadow is like a rebellious makeup technique lol she is definitely a "pick me" woman for sure.
im 34 and im a mom... I still learn new things I might like to start using/ incorporate into my look. I also like to use some shimmer and glitter. I feel pretty when I do. I dont understand why she is so negative and aggressive.
Listen, I'm 37 too. I had the same thought "someone of my age group" and I'm just glad I wasn't the only one grouping myself in with the over-40 club 🤣❤️
Just found you and your channel and love it! Your eye look made me click. And your reactions in this video clinched it for me. As a 44 year old makeup loving woman myself, that real mom lady is so wildly symptomatic of the attitude I see so many women take, and it makes me sad. We don't have to hide, apologize or dumb anything down. Thank you for celebrating that, me and my mature skin are glowing 😁
I’m your age and I agree! I’m going for the full glam look too! Also, she was so condescending to the “younger girls” she called out. That was just rude.
She thinks "real moms" necessarily are "the cave moms" who have no skills always rushing always untidy, always complaining of "new things" etc idiotic bs the nerve to insult skilled women who don't brag about being a mom or being 40 as if it's a prison sentence 🙄 my mom's is beyond forty but still does her makeup every day to fit with her outfit, loves shimmers, glitters all that jazz and is skilled enough....
The only thing different between old lash curlers and one’s now is there was a spring bit taken off it because it could snap off and hurt the eye. Someone’s definitely said something to this woman or has maybe commented on her make up and triggered her 😂😂or she’s tried a newer technique and it’s not worked and she’s got mad instead of just accepting it’s not worked
Regarding the '40 something year old rant' -- *THANK YOU!* -- there *is no age range for makeup!* I'm 60 and I contour, I overline, I wear metallic & duochrome & glitter, I wear dark lips/bright lips -- I do it *ALL!* 🤣😂 OK -- I'm an old MUA, so I do it well, but it really doesn't matter -- do what makes YOU happy. We're all unique individuals and should express ourselves as such. *I just love your channel, you're always spot on!* 😘💋
Im definitely a fake mom. 👍 I enjoy makeup and skincare and use it as a coping and self care tool raising 2 under 3 alone in my late 30s. It's not the flex she thinks it is to rush through makeup using bacteria laiden products that should have been tossed lifetimes ago while trashing on people who enjoy it and take their time. Her makeup looked fine. She said she never gets complaints. But she probably doesn't get compliments either. I'm no makeup guru and I'm only feeling myself half the time but I've gotten a fair share of compliments. Granted half of them were from my 68 year old mother but they happened! 😆
My mom did a full face of makeup every day and she was WAY ahead of her time, too. She wore falsies and did winged eyeliner when most people didn't even know how. She constantly got the "where do you find time" which has such an obvious nasty subtext. Being a mom doesn't mean you shouldn't find time for yourself, that's so unhealthy. Makeup isn't important to everyone and that's fine but it's so weird to be judgy because you don't care about it. Keep being a "fake" mom! Your mental health is important, and if makeup is the "you time" you need then do it. Nobody is superior because they gave up on looking good 😂
Also the part about her never getting complaints was just hilarious... Nobody COMPLAINS about someone not wearing makeup. But like you said, I'm sure she doesn't get compliments either and whether she admits it to herself or not, that little boost to the self esteem is positive for mental health.
Robert I am so glad you reacted to that "over 40" clip! And I'm so glad you did so honestly! I saw it earlier and it was so cringy and odd and WHY is she so angry?? I love you, happy holidays!
The quiet but spicy disappointment and distaste (that's still classy) in this video is everything, and then that last clip where Robert just makes a face and ends it. Robert, you are a damn treasure.
When she's out here bragging like "my lash curler's 20 years old and it still curls just as good as the new ones" I'm just out here like gurl I hope the curler cushion isn't falling apart...
Has she changed the damn cushion? That's the question. Also - bacteria much with all the air she's pumping into her mascara or is that 20 years old too?
I agree that there's no need to be unkind or negative when giving advice or tips - give positivity and love. Been watching you for years now and I've learnt so much not just about makeup but how to be a genuine person 💜🖤
My first thought was that she had a "discussion" with her teenage daughter. And she now wants to show "the whole world" how it was done in the good old days.🤪😂😂
"You don't have to categorize yourself in the 'mature' group just because you're of a certain age ..." THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Robert! I'm not going to tell you my age, but yes, I'm way past 40. And I take advice from no one. I've been doing my makeup for decades and people still compliment me on my looks. I'm so tired of people telling other people what they should or should not do. And I find it downright alarming that said people get angry because you don't do as they say. What are they? Wannabe dictators? My heart sinks when I see people blindly follow the 'latest' for fear of ... what, exactly? Not being cool? So some 20-30 y/o clutches pearls at my grooming habits? Well, just look away, dearie, and leave me alone. Anyway, their time will come, too, you know. And then let's see how they like to be regimented around by the new batch of experts about what to wear, do, etc. They won't like it, trust me.
“Clutches pearls” I’m definitely gonna start saying that. Never heard that one before. But I’m also 26. I take a lot of advice from older women they’re usually very wise, interesting and fun to talk to.
I also would assume that most 20 year olds aren’t telling a 40 something year old what to do. That kind of seemed like her own insecurities coming out. I doubt anyone is judging her make up. Sometimes I look at older women thinking “I hope I look that good when I’m older” and an insecure person could be thinking I’m judging them. I can think that too when people are looking at me. I just try to think the best. However we don’t know what she’s been through but hopefully she gets through this weird thinking-people-are-judging-her-makeup phase
I'm over 40. I've never felt more emotionally stable and beautiful after seeing that woman's pointless diatribe on what OTHER PEOPLE DO with their makeup. It's like they were actively hurting/angering her by existing outside her purview.
Thank you for addressing the speech and the overall mood of these videos. There is a difference between advice and an order. Language matters and communication is important. Thank you.
I find it so strange when people who wear makeup attack/insult other people for how they want to wear their makeup. Everyone has different taste, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love seeing a Mom painted for filth. Yas queen, live your best life.
That lady saying how 'real moms' get ready really rubbed me up the wrong way 😬 I'm a mum of 3 and some days I get ready with basic items of makeup and sometimes I'm turning up on that school playground in full glitter and lashes 🙌🏻 as if you're not a real mum if you don't use old makeup 😩
As a 46-year-old mom, my routine is the same as it's been for decades. Whack on some eyeliner and some lipstick. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate good makeup techniques. I discovered you during the start of the pandemic and I love watching you create amazing looks. That woman is seriously projecting her issues and I don't think it's really about makeup.
@@_Laura.Marie_Sierra.Destiny_ Good skincare routine focused on hydration with daily spf and the addition of retinol can carry you pretty far on that front, it did for my mom at least and she’s 40 (certainly doesn’t look it tho).
Hey as a women looking the the barrel at 40 and is trying to learn how to do my makeup better, thank you for ripping into that women. It made me feel better about myself.
I'm 38, just started getting into makeup, and sometimes I put on shiny sparkly eyeshadow just to hang out at home in pajamas all day. No rules (but I do love learning the theory)!
My mom just bought almost all the new Mesauda liquid eyeshadows. They’re glittery and super fun colors, they’re perfect for a person like her who has lowered vision cause she can get a cool look within minutes and it seems like she did so much more! She’s 55 anyway, just saying 😂
Who brags that they've been doing their makeup the same for 30 years?? Our faces and styles change....I am 52 & thrilled that I can finally get the products I've dreamt of for years lol! PS oh my gosh, I bet her teen daughter or son criticiz3d her makeup and this is her defensive response. who else would tell you that boldly haha
Robert, THANK YOU for the takedown of the angry 44 year old mom. I couldn't understand why she was so aggressive and angry, either. I'm older than she is, but I prefer to use more contouring and color. And guess what? I don't belittle anyone who prefers a more simple look. I thought she looked great, but the tone she used wasn't warranted at all. Different people want different things out of their makeup routine, so let people do what they like!
Agree wholeheartedly with you Robert about the "real mom". I am nearly 68 and not as good at make up as I would like to be. I envy the younger kids nowadays with how talented they are with make up (and also yourself). I don't think we're ever too old to learn new tricks.
This is still my favorite video on the internet. As a 40 year old. I ADORE the way you read the “real mom”. You’re the best Robert (not James because you’re not the same person) Welsh 😁 (but also I ❤ James too!)
That "real mom" was so spiteful for no reason. I was annoyed watching her video but in hindsight, her shock/fear of such normal products and techniques is hilarious. And all delivered with a filter... perfect 🤣
Robert! That last bit! I thought I accidentally fast forwarded the video and missed your commentary, but nope, it was just the look of disdain, no commentary needed! 🤣 👄
Your eye makeup looks particularly beautiful here, I really love that color combination. Burgundy and purpley-pinky reds next to icy blue is a personal favorite 😍
Coming from a “ real mom”, i hardly ever wear makeup; I don’t really have time or a need for it, but when I do, sometimes I go natural, and sometimes I put more effort into it. That’s the fun thing about makeup!! You can do so much with it!
I love how when you give criticism, it is done tastefully and considerately while still being educational and informative. I really respect your opinions, and appreciate how you express them with kindness and humor(in a way that isn't negative) Hope you're having a beautiful day/night 🖤
OMG that last jump cut 🤣👌🏻 Also, that angry lady 😑 I'm around her age. 1) I don't do my makeup like she does her makeup. 2) EVERYONE does their makeup differently 🙈 People have different sizes, shapes, colours and textures on their face as well as different amounts of time in which to get ready. I "do" more when I'm going to a party than I do in an average morning. But I don't hold anything against people who give up precious sleep to get glammed up on the daily. Nor do I have any problem with people who forgo makeup entirely. Live and let live, angry lady!
As someone who hasn't worn make up in almost 2 years because I've never felt like I could apply it right. Your videos have given me a huge boost in confidence and shown me that some of these complicated ways of doing things, are judg that over complicating things and maybe not actually the best way that'll work for me. So thank you! I'm truly excited to get myself in to a drug store and buy some new make up and have a play around 🥰
Sometimes I’ll try out a super bold eye look right before getting into the shower just so I can practice. 😂 If you like the way it looks (even if it’s put on incorrectly), rock it!
Robert with James. One entirely completely different person because he's with his twin. Robert on here, this channel. Such sophisticated talk woth a few cuss words that I love. And I just love his accent when he gets so super serious. I'm from the US so I love the way your accent is when you're so serious about a topic or video or both. Ugh I just love you guys!
Love your eye makeup today! I wanted to add that I was surprised that you didn't comment on that 44 year old pumping her mascara wand and also, putting the cotton swab in her mouth before using it near her eyes. I am 68 and I love watching your videos.
I thought the same!! Sticking something in your MOUTH to put on your FACE?! OMG!! But she's a "real mom." A real disgusting unsanitary tired looking mom. Who died and made her the god of makeup? She needs a Tums. Bitterness is never attractive.
Hi Robert ❤ I have been watching you and James for a long long time now so thanks to you both my 49 year old skin and make up has never looked better 😀 I feel sorry for younger people today as there is so much pressure on them these days, it should be mandatory to watch yourself, James and Wayne Goss as you lot are the most honest youtubers and actually enjoy what yous do while living in the real world, thank you thank you ❤❤❤
The second hand embarrassment I felt with the “over 40 “ clip was unreal! I’m not sure she understands that she doesn’t have to do her makeup like those makeup tutorials and the way she does her makeup is good for her.
The over 40 one was absolutely The best reaction. You said “real mom… as opposed to what?” 😂my thoughts exactly. I’m a real mom with two real kids who likes a full beat most of the time. Haha
9:22 I love her vibe, just the bluntness and no bullshit manner. Also, GEE WHIZ, color changing foundation not working for anyone without a porcelain white skin tone, color me surprised!
Thank you for sounding off on the 44 yr old. I'm 61 and can tell you she was all the way off. Frankly, I love how you taught me to apply my liner. And the last shot just made me burst out laughing.
I saw that last video on IG, the caption was "5 minutes crafts hack", that girl was just making fun of their lip hack
Oh! 😂😂😂 this is a relief
@@RobertWelsh😂😂😂😂 your face!!
I straight up died at Robert's face and immediately ending the video 💀😂
@@aryah66 same i laughed so hard i cried he looked DONE 🤣
@@aryah66 for real he didn't even say nothing, just gave the look and called it a night 💀
That "over 40's" clip made me cringe so intensely, she came off in a very judgmental manner. It reminds me of past jobs where I'd have coworkers make similar negative comments towards me because I was apparently too "high maintenance" with the way that I chose to wear my makeup (comments, mostly unprompted, like "you clearly don't have any kids," "I just don't have time for all that," etc.). Live and let live. I don't judge people for spending 5 minutes on their makeup (or for going bare-faced), so why should they judge me for spending an hour on mine?
Yes! The kids comment
Folks are rude
Yessss always the kids 😂 i wish I had the guts to say back „idc bout your kids, you fkn made them yourself. it was your choice! sucks to be you, leave me alone damn”
That was a Karen in her protective cage. Imagine her out in the wild. Get over yourself! Oh, and don't pump the tube of mascara too much air in the tube. Everyone knows that. Lol.💜💜
Same here! Am about to turn 50, and for me (single, no kids) half the joy of going somewhere is the "getting ready" of it all :) An hour is nothing, I can spend the whole day on hair and makeup, and often its actually more fun than whatever I'm getting ready for. Also, taking more time allows my base (foundation/concealer/powder/bronzer/blush) to "become one" with my skin, due to its warmth - making it look WAY more natural. When I don't have all day, I literally use a hair dryer to mimic the effect. 😄
As a 44 year old woman who has also been a MOM for 21 years; I feel the need to say I do NOT claim that angry “real mom” as part of my clan. Thanks. I don’t do graphic liner but I do enjoy bronzing, concealing, contouring, highlighting and using bright colors / multichrome shifty and shine to the high heavens eyeshadow. I don’t care if it emphasizes my wrinkles and crepe eye lids. Looking in the mirror and seeing all the sparkles adds joy to my life. Isn’t that all that matters!?
yesss, go enjoy and have fun with makeup. life is already hard enough as it is, so we find joy in what we can do
Hi!🙋🏽♀️45 year old mom here! Don’t know what mothering and makeup up has to do with each other. I use what I want, when I want and how and where I want. I use all of the things. Some days I keep it soft and natural, other days I spice it up!
I agree! Even though I have crepey eye lids too, I rock glittery and shimmery shadows whenever I feel like it!!
@anitrachere7024 You don't know the connection between makeup and being a mother? 🤔🤔 You must've had a rare circumstance to your mothering experience. For nearly every mom, we are so busy we don't have time to do makeup most days when kids are young, and when we do it's not much time. The connection is that most mothers never are out in full makeup (or any in many cases) because they just don't have time.
@anitrachere7024 if you are able to do whatever makeup you want whenever you want, you have a different experience to the vast majority of moms
It was wild watching that lady talk about "how 40-year-olds do their makeup"... My mom is in her mid 50s and wears purple glitter eyeshadows and colorful bottom liners. Hell, my grandma is in her 70s and wears bright blue mascara everyday. Having fun with your make up has no age limit.
That’s so awesome!! I love seeing “grandmas” (even if they aren’t grandmas) wearing bright colors and glitter. Makes me so happy. No one has to be a certain way at any age. We’re the same person all our lives. Why not just be a human and not categorize by age!
Your mom and grandmother seem awesome. I love when older women don't limit themselves beauty wise. I don't plan to either. I love makeup and will continue to !
I could be your mom. I don’t know what that woman was yapping about. That’s her style her techniques. She doesn’t speak for me and many of my peers.
It's funny because it's usually younger people telling us we can't use glitter or shimmer past a certain age, but that's actually a very outdated belief. The products and the way we do makeup has changed a great deal. Products used to travel into microscopic fine lines, most people didn't use anything to prime for eyeshadows, etc. Products like glitter glue didn't even exist and drag queens used to be the only ones who regularly used a setting spray- which was usually AquaNet hairspray. Yes, if you have lines and wrinkles and you don't use the right products, and you don't prep at ALL, it's not going to look flattering for long. But that's so avoidable these days that people sound ignorant and old fashioned when they say you can't do this or that.
Even cheap products are so much better now than they were 20 years ago. They are a lot more forgiving. We also have access to so much more information on how to get the best results. But when it comes down to it, if you are happy it doesn't matter. Nobody should be telling you that you "can't" do it. Aging already sucks, let us have fun, it's not hurting you.
It's like people forget that folk in their 50s where in their 20s during the spice girl era.
That 44 year old mom is really giving “the things that were cool when I was young aren’t considered cool anymore and I’m mad about it” vibes. Alternatively, she gives “I’m not like the other girls, I don’t even know how to do contouring, I’m so cool” vibes.
Oh that mom getting ready one made me incredibly angry, it went from "Modern makeup trends are weird" to "young girls are stupid" so fast.
As an almost 40 year old, that woman seems bitter & ridiculous. Powder blush & brown shadow through the crease?! Wow, what a rebel 🥴
Like… that’s absolutely fine who is telling her she can’t do that!?
@@RobertWelsh her own insecurities
Lol! Exactly.
This is the first time I ever seen a 44 year old pick me mom 🤪
😂 that’s what I said too as an almost 40 year old “real mom” 😂
The so-called real mom has that "people enjoying things different from me is a direct attack on my life choices" energy.
Exactly! At first I thought that she wants to talk about that makeup isn't that serious and that everyone can do it no matter what age, but it quickly turned the way you mentioned.
I guess she confused the creators who do everything to become viral with creators who really do love makeup.
Guess this is how pick-me girls evolve lmao
@@kaithdvd she's a pick me woman now 😂
As a "real mom" myself who is starting to notice that I'm aging a bit and can't exactly pull off some of the youngster styles, I think it's sad that she feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself. I love the creativity I see from young women doing their makeup and I think it's so important to enjoy every stage of your life to the fullest. Instead of being bitter about aging and all the new things younger women are doing, I want to celebrate it, and try to incorporate new things in my own routine where it's reasonable and works for me. Aging is an inevitable reality and life is just too damn short to be bitter about younger people enjoying their lives.
Right is like people saying like: I could not wear that much makeup, but it looks great on you... So passive aggressive
As a 43 year old mom.. please don't let that old angry woman represent all of us middle aged ladies.. I for one love the current beauty industry and I enjoy learning new techniques as well as being proud of how well I've developed my own.. that woman has some other personal problem that she probably should get therapy for instead of making aggressive and condescending videos.
Love you, Robert 💚
Yeah I remember a few years ago when my mom was 40 she was all excited getting into makeup and learning to contour and trying to find her undertone. Tbh she has a new fav hobby every year, last year or two was calligraphy, I think now she's into math puzzles :)
Yeah, she sounds kinda bitter and like she is jealous or something
33 year old mom chiming in: She seemed so aggressive and aggravated about people doing their makeup differently than she chooses to. It's incredibly off-putting and the whole thing came off rude and unnecessary imo.
Edited for clarification 🖤
I think she's angry she's an old dog who can't learn new tricks. Nothing wrong with updating one's style or techniques. I'm 44, mom of 2 adult children and self taught. I like being current and the artistry intrigues me. She's just basic, and that's ok too. Just don't come for us painted ladies and we'll leave her to her "basic bitch phase".
@@jordanisbadnews I agree and it made me get a lil snippy in return. We shouldn't have to defend our style or the way we choose to get ready. She's just mad she isn't aging gracefully. As we all know, it's what's UNDER our makeup that counts!
Roberts face slowly getting more and more distain as the 40yo clip goes on is hilarious 😂
My mother (who disowned me) called me a drag queen impersonator because of my makeup. When that "real mom" came on I had a real genuine panic attack at how close she was to that woman. Her children are miserable, I promise you that. They're not allowed to grow and be modern and get cursed at for trying to. I promise you that.
or maybe she is so busy taking them everywhere, she does not have time to contour! Maybe she needs to be ready for the formal dance recital 5 minutes after bringing another kid home from soccer practice, which was 2 minutes after her shift ended...
Not every mom is bougie, my friend!
We here trying to hold it down and do everything for everyone and still look half-way presentable with no time to do our hair and makeup.
@@nonenone5413 that has literally nothing to do with what I said. Where did I say every mom needs to be bougie? I didn't say anything about moms needing to wear makeup, period. I wasn't even discussing her points on makeup. I was discussing /how she parents/. I recognized very particular red flags in her behavior of narcissism that as a survivor I can personally recognize. I'm not the only one. Why do you think the whole internet was mad at her? She took the opportunity to get online and tell the whole world what to do, lecturing grown adults like children. Just like a Narc. Mother does to their adult children. Just like my mother did to me. I KNOW what kind of woman this is. I was talking about HER, not makeup. Reading comprehension and emotional control are very adult but very important skills you should master before taking on the role of leading a new life into this world. It worries me you act as if you are a parent and don't have those yet. But as he said, just like her, "There's no fact in what she's saying." Because yes, I rewatch videos and comment accordingly. It really feels like you didn't. I was commenting on the SUBTEXT of this woman. Which is what he was talking about too. Not what she was saying but HOW she was saying. What she was REALLY trying to say. Did you not go to 11th grade English, I know education is a privilege, and if you missed out on that I understand but DO NOT under any circumstances use that to diminish another individual's tribulations. Which is EXACTLY what you did. I said my mother DISOWNED ME. Your reply was to whine about how hard it is to be a mom and carpool to soccer as if that defends bad parenting? I am baffled. Truly and unequivocally baffled.
Sadly for your strawman, I'm a makeup artist and I don't wear makeup daily, even when running errands. (The day in question where my mother insulted me, was a holiday get-together, hence I was wearing a full face of makeup. It was not overdone and in fact, one of my more understated looks as I only own 3 Matte pallets of n>d3 colors and remember specifically not understanding how I could look like a drag artist when using a Morphe Matte N.d3 pallet.) I only wear it when I'm working or for events. It's better for my skin. I literally defeat the argument you're trying to make about whatever type of person you assume I am and assume I think people should be based on my literal career/life balance. That's what assuming will get you, a completely defeated point.
My comment said that a mother does not have the right to abuse their child simply because they do not share the same makeup taste as them. The fact that you missed that completely and literally lunged at the chance to attack a survivor speaking out, says so very much about you and your parenting and none of it is good. You're legitimizing C.A. through a mother being stressed.
Here's an idea. If you are doing so much that you need to verbally abuse your children, which is what I was talking about and what YOU ARE EXCUSING. Whether you meant to or not. Then don't do so much. If your kids want to do so much that it FORCES you to treat them in a way that will permanently damage them then here's a novel thought, SAY NO. Suggest carpooling to soccer with other kids. Get therapy for yourself or invest in classes on time management. Your inability to handle stress is never and will never be your children's fault. Your comment whether you meant to or not is openly blaming children and their needs for parents' stress and their inability to handle it. If you can't see that screenshot it and take it to your therapist.
My mother abused me, partly because she didn't want me to pursue my dreams. After all, they were not hers. Not because she didn't have time to do her makeup. You sought out a 1 YEAR-OLD COMMENT because it was a formally abused child SURVIVOR speaking out. In what way, even if you did disagree is that ever appropriate. "Oh, you were abused? Well, maybe it was YOUR FAULT!" That's what you just did. In what way is that okay in this world? Don't ever question or insult someone's trauma and abuse. What is wrong with you? The only way I can logically understand that is because you felt threatened.
I think you know someday your kids are going to be saying the same thing. That they hated the way you talked to them. If you talk to random strangers online about some of the most difficult things a human can go through the way you just did. I can only imagine how you talk to them when you think no one will find out. On top of that, the way you talk about activities tells a lot more. I promise you if your kids are in so much crap you don't have time to think, then THEY DON'T ENJOY DOING IT. Most of the time in those situations the parents are either forcing the kids outright to do that much or they are being forced by guilt.
Also, no one told you to have so many children that you don't have time in between events.
Did I, or anyone, let alone your children themselves FORCE you, or anyone who acts like this, to have them let alone more than one? I mean come on, even accidentally after the first one you can't tell me you don't know where they come from. EVEN THEN, no one forced you to keep them. To get on here and whine and nag and complain, oh woe is me, I have to support my children and can't emotionally abuse them because they want to grow and be contemporary like any emotionally healthy child would.
JFC. I feel bad for your kids. I truly do. I hope when you're alone, old in a home, bitter because no one will visit you, this comment comes to your senile old brain because someone warned you.
@@Eleanorscatmom wow, that was an entire novel and I am not reading it. I read the first portion, enough to read you insulting and bullying me - and I am done. It seems like I really struck a nerve.
@@nonenone5413 How am I not surprised that a narcissist refuses to read a well-written argument against them? Such disrespect after openly blaming me for my own abuse. You told me "Uh maybe your mom was Uh so mean to you because uh you wanted to go to soccer too much."
Stupid.
You're also outright trying to hide from the fact that you lost the argument. Furthermore, I didn't bully you, honey 💗.
I just told you the truth.
You may have the right to say whatever you want online, but you also are going to get put in your place. Like you did by me & you're too much of a COWARD to even read it. Or admit you did & admit it hurt.
But wait let me guess her big defense to this will be to whine that she won't read this either. If you can bark the bark you can bite the bite. You commented arguing to me. Then back up your argument or admit you were either wrong, or you shouldn't have started it in the first place. If you're not willing to defend your position I feel that's the only adult fair thing to do. Accept responsibility that you talked out of the wrong hole.
As a 61 year old woman I have never felt like that angry mom feels about make up. I am a "real" mother now and I was a real mother in my forties too. I love makeup and what you can do with it. I have a daughter that is a special effects make up artist. I LOVE learning new things, trying new products and new techniques. I have horses and have trained and taught. I used to get flack for having painted nails and mascara at the barn. "Horse women don't have time or make up." For goodness sake. Hun, you do you and let everyone do themselves.
Especially since once your nails are painted they are harder to break and therefore more useful. And if you use a good polish it takes...like half an hour to do? And then you're good for a week unless there's a really unfortunate accident? I specifically paint my nails a day before doing gardening so they don't break all over the place. And mascara....thats like...1 min...getting dressed takes longer. If thats too much time should I come to the barn naked??
Well darn, I need to go tell my friend who has three horses she doesn't have time for makeup 😂
You're the proof older people can be cooler. You're way cooler than the woman in the video
You slay!!! I love this energy!
Keep doing you!
Roberts face when watching 'the mom' 😂😂💀💀i am so glad you called her out! She was acting like a high school bully!
Lmao it was like he was smelling a fart the whole time 😂
Karens rant at the end screams " My teenage daughter told me no one does their makeup like me anymore " and she took it heart lmao
Exactly
Like, she tried to tell her daughter that she uses too much makeup/does too much and her daughter said off handedly that she didn't want her tips or that she doesn't like how she does makeup; not thinking that she'd take it that deep and made this video in spite and hurt
I agree, it definitely gives that energy. But instead of saying hey, can you give me tips on new ways to do it she got angry
I think what Robert said was pretty accurate, too. We get told that it's not 'mature' to use certain colors after a certain age. Problem is she doesn't realize she can, her own self confidence is holding her back, nothing else
Edited for spelling
My thoughts exactly!
Yea. I also felt like she was arguing about that with her daughter and doesn’t appreciate how much time her daughter takes to do her Make-up.
She’s jealous of her daughter. Women like that have bought into the lie that a woman has no value once she’s too “old” for men to appreciate her. But one day they get old too and they get so very, very bitter. How sad.
It’s hilarious how everyone is so confused by the over 40 makeup 😂 we are like “ma’am what are you talking about?”
The ending killed me!! Also the mom was so judgmental, yet defensive about her techniques as if she’s being judged. I don’t think anyone cared how she does her make up. Her insecurity is so obvious
I think she’s just annoyed at those mums who manage their time well enough to do their makeup the way they do!
The pink lipstick and his face with no comment!! 😂😂😂😂
Literally, people have probably been using both powder and cream blush for over 1000 years💀Lady needs to read a history book😂
Literally!! THEY WILL TELL YOU ITS WRONG!!
I have the impression that this was not her point, thou...
I may be wrong, but that to me felt more like some rant about all the superfluous and pricey (but, just a wild guess, absolutely vital for her teen or preteen kids) make up fads that are proliferating recently.
she's not saying "look, I'm using cream blush! what a breakthrough!", but "look, you can survive without 200 different face sculpting techniques (that will work only on camera anyway), like many generations did before you"
which, to an extent, I can understand.
granted, she could have done it a lot better, with a little more tact and a lot less self-righteousness.
should we show her some of Robert's content? maybe she'll see the right way to express that concept... 😇
I’m pretty sure cream blush was the OG version of blush as well lol.
Or watch a historically accurate makeup history video with James and Robert😜
Damn I’m not a “real mom” cause I’m not mad at a wholeeee generation for improving my makeup game 😂🤡 imagine that 😂
Exactly! My makeup is sooooooooo much better for what I have learned now and I even took classes later on because wanted to learn even more. If she doesn’t want to learn… her problem!
@@yaiscolors we should always be learning and open to new ideas. Not every new technique or twist is for everyone and that’s fine. Slamming and generalising a whole generation was not cool by her.
Haaa! On point. Today I learned I'm not a real mom either. Shame, that!
@@a.r.glad.5490 I am just a figment of my own imagination 😂
I wear drag amounts of makeup when I want to, therefore my 8 year old who I birthed myself does not exist. She's not real and neither am I. Yep, checks out.
My Grandmother recently asked me for bright blue, purple and SPARKLY eyeshadow for her birthday! And she bloody works it cause she's fabulous. She had painted herself in a box of only using brown because she "has wrinkles" but has inwardly been jealous of all the crazy lovely colours we have now. I'm so proud of her for breaking out of that box and doing what she wants, screw anyone who would try and push her back in.
Awww. 😊😊
Heck yes, Grandma! Get it! So glad she has your support!
ICONIC
Oh My Goth!🥹 How bad I wish that YT allowed to attach a pic to a comment. What a joy to have a sparkly grandma ✨🧛🏻♀️🖤
oh I love this! I hope she had so much fun using them
To the old lady - my grandma, a cancer patient who survived cancer once already and is on second round w the nasty thing, who works hard and everything, has introduced make-up techniques to us, always wears her favs, enjoys the self-care of it, she let us, her grandkids, do her makeup and then she did ours. For fun! She loves to see how me and my sister wear it and always supported us. Not all older ladies are bitter and salty ❤
I worked cosmetics retail and had so many people ask me what was appropriate for their age. I hated it so much. Just wear what you want and rock it.
I love it how she was makeup shaming people while also having a beauty filter on her Tiktok
Also, simply using Tik Tok for beauty is kind of the same thing.
I'm betting she has teenager daughter(s) who like to go bold on colors and she feels jealous that she can't do those because she's "old" or she feels like people are leaving the simple ways behind - I have seen older women using more than that and they look absolutely gorgeous!! It also makes me wonder if she feels very insecure about herself due to her using the filter while putting makeup on herself...hmmm 🤔🤔
@@thatdeafdaydreamer no I'm pretty sure this was a joke because of a 5 minute crafts type of video she saw. I mean, I could tell that from the beginning. It was a joke post which is why she used the bare minimum. And what she said about "these girls" and whatever. I think you and everyone else missed the joke. And Robert did too which is why he included it. I only realized it because I'm a mom and I never have time to do my makeup with 3 kids running around. So when I saw her saying, oh wait, do the curler, do the light eyeshadow below the brow, do the lipliner because the girls are doing it lol. That's what got me. Because, especially the added light shadow and lip liner....we don't do that if we're in a rush like her lmfao. We just do eyeshadow and mascara and maybe do the curl. That part cracked me up. I dont loke my lips unless my husband takes my kids to the store with him and I have maybe 1 hour to do my makeup lol then maybe I'll line my lip even though I'm insecure about it and then put on lipstick lol. Any other time I do my makeup in 20 mins or less, nah. No lip liner. And I push it with 20 mins because I'm rushing to get the kids ready. I'll do one eye. Oh I gotta dry one kid off from the bath. Then I do the next. Then dry the next kid off. Then I'll do mascara abd if I'm lucky, do eyeliner, which I suck at, while my husband gives our baby a bath. Then I dry him off and dress him (I have 3 boys lol) and then I put on mascara and just say, okay I'm done lol. Don't do anything to my brows, just my eyes and swipe on some lipstick and I'm good to go. Don't even do foundation. That was so much easier when I had one kid, or even my oldest when my middle one was a baby since babies sleep a lot and my son would help me dab on foundation lol. But no, it's a joke. If you missed it or didn't understand it, I'm sorry lol. But that whole video was just a joke from a mom making fun of 5 min crafts bs again lmfao
It was obviously coming from a place of deep insecurity. It's so sad that she feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself. Life is too damn short to be bitter about young people having fun.
Idk, my mom is around her age and her skin still looks very nice and smooth.
Nvm: saw the filter.
THANK YOU for your comments about women in their 40's. I don't know why she is angrier than a boomer discussing avocado toasts, but I'm in my 40's and I wear my makeup in full glam goth, with contour and the whole stuff. And I love it. If she's happy that her routine has worked for her since she hit puberty, more power to her, I actually love learning new trends and techniques.
Let's be real, some of these boomers should try avocado toast, the Omega 3's would probably help them with their mood.
@@vintagearisen 😂
Girl- think about it this way. Kim kardashian is 44 - and shes all into the makeup game! You legit need to do what works for u. Old and new trends ❤.
Amen. I laughed out loud when he said "this world's so crazy" because that's exactly her attitude, like people trying new things with their makeup is going to cause the collapse of society. All these fake moms and their CREAM BLUSH 😱 WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN 😭
I'm glad he pointed out how none of the rules she thinks she's breaking even exist...
I am with the mom - I ain't got time for full glam anything!
The fact that that lady calls herself a “real mom” is a huge red flag. That means she considers some mothers not “real moms”. I’ve heard people say stuff like that before, usually it’s those people who say if you can’t push out your baby you’re not a “real mom” saying that women who’ve had c sections aren’t real moms because they gave birth differently. People like that are just angry at the world, from my experience it’s because they’re angry about their life.
I feel like she also peaked in high school, so she is clinging to her hair a day makeup style from back then. That and being a "real mom" are all she has
She prob doesn't consider someone a real mom unless 1. they only spend 4 mins on their looks and tell everyone how little time they spend on themselves 2. they're so sleep deprived that they verbally abuse their kids and refuse to believe any childless adult is as tired as they are, a la "i have children so I deserve to be at the front of the line for coffee" 3. Buy too much wine and call every day Thirsty Thursday
I can't wrap my head around it. Like how can anyone consider a c section birth less valid then a natural birth??? I know a youtuber who gave birth by c section and she said "If you give birth through c section, your labor begins after the anesthesia wears off" and even though I never gave birth I can see how that'd work. So it's not even like c section birth is a walk in the park.
Also, can we get rid of the idea that we have to suffer and if we don't suffer we're not real this or that and it's not good enough?
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 what gets me the most is generally a c section is done because there’s some kind of complication. So those women who say it’s not a “real” birth are basically saying that whoever was in danger during that pregnancy that made it necessary to perform a c section are basically disposable. And that just blows my mind that someone could think like that.
@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 All of my sister's 3 kids were c-sections, due to complications, and they were no walk in the park; the recovery is intense. All the people saying it's the easy way out because yOu DidNT hAVe To pUsH, well she had to trade pushing for major abdominal surgery sooo
As a 36yr old cat dad, my makeup routine has stayed exactly the same, in that it doesn't exist.
Love your videos! 👁️👄👁️
I turned 40 on Friday. Thank you for reassuring me that I can still wear my makeup however the f**k I want. I’ve been feeling very insecure about getting ‘old’ and you made me feel better ❤
Ya turning 40 is a hard one!! I’m 43 and you’ll be fine !!
It just gets better. You give less and less of a shit what anyone thinks of you , I’m her age now and even though I’m disabled and larger than I used to be due to hormonal nonsense and medications I wouldn’t swap the attitude I have now for the terrible insecurity and self consciousness of my 20s. When they say life begins at 40, I know what they mean now. Your consciousness evolves and you stop taking any more shit (all going well,) as that little hourglass goes down. You literally realise you don’t have time for people who make you feel like crap or don’t add to your life. Once you’re over the shock of turning 40 you will enjoy your 40s no matter what, I promise!
Oh and a belated happy birthday 🎂!
@@HotFlushSummer thank you! And I hope you’re right. So far my 40s have been stressful because of the run up to Christmas 😂. I’m sure they’ll improve. Have a great festive period if you celebrate.
@@jbax5521 I know what you mean, I think this must be my most stressful Christmas yet! I hope yours goes really well, not too long til things go back to normal after all that build up now! I remember when I was 20 thinking I’d hate to be in my 40s, but strangely enough the wisdom that comes with it, it’s really not so bad. 42 is a very special age for a woman, I think that’s when you really come into your own after all the testing times you’ve had. You realise how strong you are and become a lot more fearless! 49 is also said to be a huge creative and spiritual power-year. We’re from a generation where we were told women were somehow on the attractiveness and career scrapheap post-40 but it’s so not true, we become less controllable I think, and more likely to be in the driving seat of what we will and won’t accept wherever possible and safe to so do. Happy holidays and here’s to your naughty 40s as they say, lol! ✨✨✨
Shout out to all the fake moms getting ready out there! I hope that woman is doin' okay and someone hyped her up or made her feel better because clearly she needed a hug.
And maybe some antidepressants 😬
It seems like she had a reallly hard year...
@@HeatherFonseca For real! My initial internal response (and I'm 45) was that antidepressants and beta blockers work for me, but maybe a glass of wine and turning off cable "news" would help as well. 😄
Convinced the "angry 44 year old mom" is trolling and everyone fell for it.
@@dazem8 man, i hope that was a parody 🥲
Negative Nancies like that "real mom" are a real drag. Sorry someone insulted the way she did her makeup, but that doesn't give her the right to lash out the way she did.
And the thing is… she does her makeup nicely! I don’t get why she’s so pissed!
@@RobertWelsh right? She appears to have really good skin. Dang. My skill level is basically where hers is but I don’t look that good. 😂
@RobertWelsh someone remarked on her age, I'd bet any amount of money. I'm 34 and when someone commented on a friends age(she's my age...shes starting to really show her age due to smoking/drinking/tanning heavily from 16 to 30 and she wears a lot of make up to try to hide it) she snapped like this. She tried to defend how much make up she wore. I told her, u don't hsve to defend shit (even tho I think she wears too much, but that's her business), it's her face.
I think she's jealous of something or someone she saw online. I'm approaching that age group but I don't look it and I shall do as Robert commands whatever the f I like as far as my makeup goes 😋 no matter how old someone is as long as it looks good to you DO IT😁
The Darcei Colour-changing-foundation series is hilarious. People are soooo danged salty about her showing how fake those things are.
My favourite series lmao
And I’m not 100% sure but I don’t think they’re all Asian brands, either, right? I think there was at least one or two that weren’t. I do remember the one she did that actually advertised three different tones and still didn’t work 🙃
@@kittentree198 Yeah. not all of them were K brands. Heck, Black Radiance used to carry a color changing foundation too and that's a brand that is known for focusing on deeper color ranges.
I'm going to have to find her, she looks fun. And into blue raspberry flavors I can dig that
I will say, I use some of those products as a professional makeup artist. They absolutely need body heat & friction to work. When applying on yourself, use fingers not a brush. And they definitely do not fit all complexions! But I’ve learned how to combine different elements to make them fit. I’ve still never seen one for darker-darkest complexions, only lightest-dark mediums.
The 40+ lady was the “mature”
Version of the “I’m not like other girls”
Trope, makeup edition
I screamed at that q-tip wiping off the mascara. I’m 44 and am like 🤦♀️ at that whole thing. This is why I love watching Erica on TikTok because she’s actually helping ladies our age look our best without what we just saw there.
UGH YES when she stuck that q tip in her nasty mouth 😩😩
What is wrong with using a q-tip to wip off mascara?
@@PCLHH It's not really that she used a qtip, it's that she licked/put her saliva on it before putting it around her eye area/lashes which isnt the best hygiene ☹ Best to dab the qtip in a bit of water than risk infection.
Also ew to the sensation of licking a q-tip 🥴
My mom who's in her 70s loves asking employees beauty counter what the trends are with blush placement and eyeliner and brows. It's really not about being "in your 40s," it's a weird rage at beauty, youth, and actual non makeup related change.
All I can say is thank God for Gen Z because now at 36 I found the most flattering angle and easiest way to do my eyeliner!
34 and I absolutely love Gen Z, they're great. I use makeup tutorials from younger women all the time because who can't use interesting and creative new ideas? If they don't work, they don't work, and you move on, but sometimes you learn something great. It's just sad to me that this woman feels like she has to tear down younger women to feel better about herself.
@@vintagearisen agreed, but I have also found some interesting stuff from old makeup youtubers on youtube. Not the kind of makeup youtubers who have done their makeup the same way since they were 12, but actually makeup youtubers who had to learn to accent their faces differently and take their new skin textures in mind as they aged. For instance, "i used to do this but now to achieve the same or similar effect i have to do this instead". While I don't have any wrinkles yet I have hooded eyes which they often do.
Right on I learned to my eyebrows finally from them 🤷🏻♀️
I'm 41, and a year ago, I got my letter from the make up institute. It explained all the things I'm no longer allowed to do. No more cream blush, I had to throw away my brand new eyelash curler and get an old version one from the mature makeup shop. They only sell powder blush, brown eyeshadow, and just the one eyebrow pencil. I am gonna miss just putting mascara on my top lashes. I might keep my contour to put in my memory box to show my grandkids. Didn't everyone get a letter on their 40th birthday???
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I' m spanish and extreamly gothic so I guess that I never received this letter because nothing works in my country and my community is pure acceptance. Buuuut, just in case, I moved when I was 39 and I didn' t modify my new address and city when I renewed my ID. Currently 48 and wearing my "black swan" eyeliner without any problems😌. I would pin this comment if I could, I swear to stencils. Thank you sooooo much for making me laugh 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I hope I get my letter delivered by an owl. Maybe I should start wearing mascara only on my bottom lashes, you know, get it out of my system since I won't be able to once I hit 40. Bonkers that she doesn't see the irony in complaining about new trends and not "being cool" on fkn TikTok.
Wait until you get your 50th letter. No more shimmery eyeshadow or highlighter as it emphasizes wrinkles, and only nude lipsticks. I was almost arrested last week for going out after using my Ofra On The Glow palette - not only for using it but buying one while over the age of 50. Thankfully, I had a safe word to text my husband so that he could hide all my orange lipstick before the raid.
@@teletubbiestunetwister9570 😆
I am 44 and a mom and the 44 year old bitter woman does not represent all of us. I love your videos because I love getting tips and trying new things. That woman has a hell of a chip on her shoulder for no reason. No one cares what she is doing.
That over 40 lady was so angry! I'm 51 and a mother of 4. Most of the things that she was so against are things that have been around since she was born. Access to techniques is the only thing that is different now! Which I love. I recently learned how to do the "bat wing" eyeliner for hooded eyes. I love your content and have learned so much from you.
Thank you Robert for calling out the 'real' mom. I am a 'real' 61 year old mom and Oma and I do whatever tf I want. I I love you and James for making that point all. I follow your tutorials and sometimes buy and try your recommendations. Keep doing what you do!
Hello, fellow 61 year old! I'm a mom and a grandmom, and I feel the same way. I do my skincare and makeup the way I want to, and I don't belittle the way anyone else does theirs. Everyone is different, after all.
Aw, seeing Oma in the comments makes me miss mine❤ Omas truly are the best
I'm 46 and when I was much younger we makeup wearers were shamed for wearing "too much" makeup. So I think a lot of people my age see less makeup as inherently better(including my lifelong bestie). I think the 44 yo lady is trying to make herself feel better about her very dated makeup and application styles. But she didnt have to be so bitter about it lol.
So true. And I bet this lady was one of the ones shaming us back in the day, and she just stayed talking trash for the past 25 years.
Exactly. I remember doing makeup like that in high school in the mid-late 90s. Times change, techniques change and trends change. There's nothing wrong with trying them and seeing if they work for you. And I have NEVER put a Q-tip in my mouth to wipe away mascara. That's disgusting. If she kept up with current makeup trends and techniques she would know you just have to let the mascara dry and then use a clean spoolie to gently scrape it off.
Right?! She should go watch some yt videos! I have learned so much on here.
That is a good point, and it brings back memories. Perhaps for this reason I only a few years ago started wearing makeup, exploring, learning, and enjoying it. I'm also in my mid 40's and it took time to feel the freedom to look however I want without feeling judged... even by myself.
I remember using dark brown eyeliner as lip liner. I was so excited when Urban Decay came out with the shade 1993 lol.
I love that the "real mom" gave you so much to touch on with her aggressive and spiteful video that you didn't have the time to touch on her sticking a q-tip in her mouth to clean off the mascara she sloppily applied to the lower lash line.
That part was so gross. I immediately thought, great way to get pink eye
I'm sure BACK IN HER DAY they didn't have eye infections 🙄
FOR REAL. You're probably doing your makeup in a bathroom anyway, use the tap water! So gross and unsanitary.
Perhaps, she didn´t know that you have to let your mascara dry and then you can easily remove it. 🙂
Right?! I about died…like seriously?! 😮😳
Disclaimer: Not all of us in our 40s are as bitter as that woman. Folks, do your makeup how you want, and more power to ya! You all look beautiful.
As a 42 year old woman, I can’t thank you enough for the reassurance that I don’t need to throw out all my makeup in two years. 😏😉
But more importantly, I freaking LOVE your eyeshadow in this video. 🤩🤩
I’m so glad Robert reacted that way to the “over 40s real mom”. I saw it on TikTok and I just remember feeling really horribly judged by her! As a 37 year old who does like to keep up with make-up trends, I don’t want someone from my own age group being disparaging just because I choose to use cream blush and an eyebrow stencil 😂
I can't believe she is acting like powder blush and brown eyeshadow is like a rebellious makeup technique lol she is definitely a "pick me" woman for sure.
im 34 and im a mom... I still learn new things I might like to start using/ incorporate into my look. I also like to use some shimmer and glitter. I feel pretty when I do. I dont understand why she is so negative and aggressive.
I think that woman needs more chocolate in her life.
Convinced the "angry 44 year old mom" is trolling and everyone fell for it.
Listen, I'm 37 too. I had the same thought "someone of my age group" and I'm just glad I wasn't the only one grouping myself in with the over-40 club 🤣❤️
Agree wholeheartedly with the angry mom bit, but the absolute "no comment, just face reaction" on the pink lipstick thing is what sent me 🤣🤣
Yes that was great. 🤣
yes made my day!!!!
I could see the pure disdain in Robert's face and its golden XD
Watching you drag that lady about her "real mom routine" was the highlight of my week! Merry xmas to me bc wow that was special and hilarious
Just found you and your channel and love it! Your eye look made me click. And your reactions in this video clinched it for me. As a 44 year old makeup loving woman myself, that real mom lady is so wildly symptomatic of the attitude I see so many women take, and it makes me sad. We don't have to hide, apologize or dumb anything down. Thank you for celebrating that, me and my mature skin are glowing 😁
This eye look is EVERYTHING...❤💜💙
The "real" mom getting ready. I can't. I'm 40 not a mom but I want a full glam look everyday because I like it.
Exactly!
Do you baby girl! No one's gonna stop these curls and red lips... unless I'M feeling a different look that day!💅
I’m your age and I agree! I’m going for the full glam look too! Also, she was so condescending to the “younger girls” she called out. That was just rude.
Honestly she sounded jealous.
She thinks "real moms" necessarily are "the cave moms" who have no skills always rushing always untidy, always complaining of "new things" etc idiotic bs the nerve to insult skilled women who don't brag about being a mom or being 40 as if it's a prison sentence 🙄 my mom's is beyond forty but still does her makeup every day to fit with her outfit, loves shimmers, glitters all that jazz and is skilled enough....
The only thing different between old lash curlers and one’s now is there was a spring bit taken off it because it could snap off and hurt the eye. Someone’s definitely said something to this woman or has maybe commented on her make up and triggered her 😂😂or she’s tried a newer technique and it’s not worked and she’s got mad instead of just accepting it’s not worked
I nearly lost an eye once. The screw in my lash curler popped out and the lash curler came apart.
Regarding the '40 something year old rant' -- *THANK YOU!* -- there *is no age range for makeup!*
I'm 60 and I contour, I overline, I wear metallic & duochrome & glitter, I wear dark lips/bright lips -- I do it *ALL!* 🤣😂
OK -- I'm an old MUA, so I do it well, but it really doesn't matter -- do what makes YOU happy. We're all unique individuals and should express ourselves as such.
*I just love your channel, you're always spot on!*
😘💋
Im definitely a fake mom. 👍 I enjoy makeup and skincare and use it as a coping and self care tool raising 2 under 3 alone in my late 30s. It's not the flex she thinks it is to rush through makeup using bacteria laiden products that should have been tossed lifetimes ago while trashing on people who enjoy it and take their time. Her makeup looked fine. She said she never gets complaints. But she probably doesn't get compliments either. I'm no makeup guru and I'm only feeling myself half the time but I've gotten a fair share of compliments. Granted half of them were from my 68 year old mother but they happened! 😆
My mom did a full face of makeup every day and she was WAY ahead of her time, too. She wore falsies and did winged eyeliner when most people didn't even know how. She constantly got the "where do you find time" which has such an obvious nasty subtext.
Being a mom doesn't mean you shouldn't find time for yourself, that's so unhealthy. Makeup isn't important to everyone and that's fine but it's so weird to be judgy because you don't care about it.
Keep being a "fake" mom! Your mental health is important, and if makeup is the "you time" you need then do it. Nobody is superior because they gave up on looking good 😂
Also the part about her never getting complaints was just hilarious... Nobody COMPLAINS about someone not wearing makeup. But like you said, I'm sure she doesn't get compliments either and whether she admits it to herself or not, that little boost to the self esteem is positive for mental health.
Robert I am so glad you reacted to that "over 40" clip! And I'm so glad you did so honestly! I saw it earlier and it was so cringy and odd and WHY is she so angry?? I love you, happy holidays!
The quiet but spicy disappointment and distaste (that's still classy) in this video is everything, and then that last clip where Robert just makes a face and ends it. Robert, you are a damn treasure.
When she's out here bragging like "my lash curler's 20 years old and it still curls just as good as the new ones" I'm just out here like gurl I hope the curler cushion isn't falling apart...
Has she changed the damn cushion? That's the question. Also - bacteria much with all the air she's pumping into her mascara or is that 20 years old too?
@@chloekpearl Ah, but that's after HER time. 🤭
I agree that there's no need to be unkind or negative when giving advice or tips - give positivity and love. Been watching you for years now and I've learnt so much not just about makeup but how to be a genuine person 💜🖤
Thank you so so much! 🖤🖤
My first thought was that she had a "discussion" with her teenage daughter. And she now wants to show "the whole world" how it was done in the good old days.🤪😂😂
i live for Robert digging into that mom getting so salty about makeup. It makes me feel validated in my rage at her lol
I snorted so loud at the last video and how Robert literally gave no other commentary than just the face of disgust 🤣
16:52 When Robert pulls out this gesture, you know he’s heated 🤌🏼🤣
That rant was EPIC!
"You don't have to categorize yourself in the 'mature' group just because you're of a certain age ..." THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Robert! I'm not going to tell you my age, but yes, I'm way past 40. And I take advice from no one. I've been doing my makeup for decades and people still compliment me on my looks. I'm so tired of people telling other people what they should or should not do. And I find it downright alarming that said people get angry because you don't do as they say. What are they? Wannabe dictators? My heart sinks when I see people blindly follow the 'latest' for fear of ... what, exactly? Not being cool? So some 20-30 y/o clutches pearls at my grooming habits? Well, just look away, dearie, and leave me alone. Anyway, their time will come, too, you know. And then let's see how they like to be regimented around by the new batch of experts about what to wear, do, etc. They won't like it, trust me.
I agree with everything you have said!👏🏻
“Clutches pearls” I’m definitely gonna start saying that. Never heard that one before. But I’m also 26. I take a lot of advice from older women they’re usually very wise, interesting and fun to talk to.
I also would assume that most 20 year olds aren’t telling a 40 something year old what to do. That kind of seemed like her own insecurities coming out. I doubt anyone is judging her make up. Sometimes I look at older women thinking “I hope I look that good when I’m older” and an insecure person could be thinking I’m judging them. I can think that too when people are looking at me. I just try to think the best. However we don’t know what she’s been through but hopefully she gets through this weird thinking-people-are-judging-her-makeup phase
@@_Laura.Marie_Sierra.Destiny_ Thank you, darling. You're sweet.
@@sombradelviento7
I'm over 40. I've never felt more emotionally stable and beautiful after seeing that woman's pointless diatribe on what OTHER PEOPLE DO with their makeup. It's like they were actively hurting/angering her by existing outside her purview.
Thank you for addressing the speech and the overall mood of these videos. There is a difference between advice and an order. Language matters and communication is important. Thank you.
I find it so strange when people who wear makeup attack/insult other people for how they want to wear their makeup. Everyone has different taste, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love seeing a Mom painted for filth. Yas queen, live your best life.
That lady saying how 'real moms' get ready really rubbed me up the wrong way 😬 I'm a mum of 3 and some days I get ready with basic items of makeup and sometimes I'm turning up on that school playground in full glitter and lashes 🙌🏻 as if you're not a real mum if you don't use old makeup 😩
As a 46-year-old mom, my routine is the same as it's been for decades. Whack on some eyeliner and some lipstick. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate good makeup techniques. I discovered you during the start of the pandemic and I love watching you create amazing looks. That woman is seriously projecting her issues and I don't think it's really about makeup.
Think so, too.
There's a different issue going on. Hopefully she can work through whatever and just appreciate the differences.
I’m scared to age I’m 26 but I hope I never end up like her lol
@@_Laura.Marie_Sierra.Destiny_ Good skincare routine focused on hydration with daily spf and the addition of retinol can carry you pretty far on that front, it did for my mom at least and she’s 40 (certainly doesn’t look it tho).
Hey as a women looking the the barrel at 40 and is trying to learn how to do my makeup better, thank you for ripping into that women. It made me feel better about myself.
I saw this four months ago, and it played again today, and I still laughed obnoxiously loud!
Feel this as somebody who is rewatching it today! 😆 Robert is so timeless
I'm 38, just started getting into makeup, and sometimes I put on shiny sparkly eyeshadow just to hang out at home in pajamas all day.
No rules (but I do love learning the theory)!
Your face during Ms. “Voila Imagine That” real mom LEVELED ME. You said what we’re all thinking without any words at all.
I’m always down for a good Robert Rant😂 that woman was kinda ridiculous with her comments lol
🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🏻
I'm a 45 year old mother of two young children. That "real mom" is deplorable. Thank You Robert 🥰😘
My mom just bought almost all the new Mesauda liquid eyeshadows. They’re glittery and super fun colors, they’re perfect for a person like her who has lowered vision cause she can get a cool look within minutes and it seems like she did so much more! She’s 55 anyway, just saying 😂
Who brags that they've been doing their makeup the same for 30 years?? Our faces and styles change....I am 52 & thrilled that I can finally get the products I've dreamt of for years lol! PS oh my gosh, I bet her teen daughter or son criticiz3d her makeup and this is her defensive response. who else would tell you that boldly haha
I’m 52 and I love learning new things, make up applications included. No point getting angry about what other people are doing right??? 🤣❤️
One of the best parts of this video was RW’s “kind” and “tolerant” smiles during the “real mom” TikTok. 😆
The Italian hands when you were ranting about the "real" 40 year old mom , I'm cracking up 🤌😂
Robert, THANK YOU for the takedown of the angry 44 year old mom. I couldn't understand why she was so aggressive and angry, either. I'm older than she is, but I prefer to use more contouring and color. And guess what? I don't belittle anyone who prefers a more simple look. I thought she looked great, but the tone she used wasn't warranted at all. Different people want different things out of their makeup routine, so let people do what they like!
I’m actually wearing one of my powder blushes today on a whim. iMaGiNe tHaT
IMAGINE THAT! THEY WILL TELL YOU NOT TO!
And I genuinely thought the real mom was just going to put her hair up and say "Done!" because that's what I do sometimes 😂
Agree wholeheartedly with you Robert about the "real mom". I am nearly 68 and not as good at make up as I would like to be. I envy the younger kids nowadays with how talented they are with make up (and also yourself). I don't think we're ever too old to learn new tricks.
This is still my favorite video on the internet. As a 40 year old. I ADORE the way you read the “real mom”. You’re the best Robert (not James because you’re not the same person) Welsh 😁 (but also I ❤ James too!)
I am 48 yr old mom .... And I take around an hour or more to get ready. It's my me time ..
Exactly!! 🖤🖤
For some reason I feel like the "real mom" had one of her children say her makeup was boring or "not cool" and she got offended 😆.
And her make up was awful tbh.
Yes!! That’s the vibe she gives off lol
I’m 44 and I do a full beat every single day for work.. oh and I’m a mom..😌😌😌
… a real mom?? 😂🖤🖤🖤
@@RobertWelsh hahah yes to 2 boys 25 and 15..♥️♥️.. that lady is a complete Mormon tho..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️
Every one on TikTok is an expert we should follow blindly? Comedy gold. Thats why I love this chanel. Learnend soo much and ofc I'm passing it on.
That "real mom" was so spiteful for no reason. I was annoyed watching her video but in hindsight, her shock/fear of such normal products and techniques is hilarious. And all delivered with a filter... perfect 🤣
Robert! That last bit! I thought I accidentally fast forwarded the video and missed your commentary, but nope, it was just the look of disdain, no commentary needed! 🤣 👄
😂😂😂
Your eye makeup looks particularly beautiful here, I really love that color combination. Burgundy and purpley-pinky reds next to icy blue is a personal favorite 😍
Thank you so much! 🖤🖤
I saw your comment and my first reaction was to be like "BUT HE SHOULD HAVE JUST PUT BROWN IN THE CREASE!!!!!!!" after the angry mom rant 😂😂
I’m 42 and I bloody love keeping on top of my makeup skills
Coming from a “ real mom”, i hardly ever wear makeup; I don’t really have time or a need for it, but when I do, sometimes I go natural, and sometimes I put more effort into it. That’s the fun thing about makeup!! You can do so much with it!
Roberts reaction to the "real mom" is my favourite thing I've seen on this channel or anyone else's.
I love how when you give criticism, it is done tastefully and considerately while still being educational and informative.
I really respect your opinions, and appreciate how you express them with kindness and humor(in a way that isn't negative)
Hope you're having a beautiful day/night 🖤
OMG that last jump cut 🤣👌🏻
Also, that angry lady 😑 I'm around her age. 1) I don't do my makeup like she does her makeup. 2) EVERYONE does their makeup differently 🙈 People have different sizes, shapes, colours and textures on their face as well as different amounts of time in which to get ready. I "do" more when I'm going to a party than I do in an average morning. But I don't hold anything against people who give up precious sleep to get glammed up on the daily. Nor do I have any problem with people who forgo makeup entirely. Live and let live, angry lady!
As someone who hasn't worn make up in almost 2 years because I've never felt like I could apply it right. Your videos have given me a huge boost in confidence and shown me that some of these complicated ways of doing things, are judg that over complicating things and maybe not actually the best way that'll work for me. So thank you! I'm truly excited to get myself in to a drug store and buy some new make up and have a play around 🥰
Definitely try NYX.
Sometimes I’ll try out a super bold eye look right before getting into the shower just so I can practice. 😂
If you like the way it looks (even if it’s put on incorrectly), rock it!
The reaction to the ‘real Mum’ is both accurate and hilarious….why the anger and the insults indeed!
Robert with James. One entirely completely different person because he's with his twin. Robert on here, this channel. Such sophisticated talk woth a few cuss words that I love. And I just love his accent when he gets so super serious. I'm from the US so I love the way your accent is when you're so serious about a topic or video or both. Ugh I just love you guys!
Love your eye makeup today! I wanted to add that I was surprised that you didn't comment on that 44 year old pumping her mascara wand and also, putting the cotton swab in her mouth before using it near her eyes. I am 68 and I love watching your videos.
Thank you! 🖤🖤
Yes, that cotton swab in her mouth and then on her face! *Shudder*
I was thinking the same too
I thought the same!! Sticking something in your MOUTH to put on your FACE?! OMG!! But she's a "real mom." A real disgusting unsanitary tired looking mom.
Who died and made her the god of makeup? She needs a Tums. Bitterness is never attractive.
Hi Robert ❤ I have been watching you and James for a long long time now so thanks to you both my 49 year old skin and make up has never looked better 😀 I feel sorry for younger people today as there is so much pressure on them these days, it should be mandatory to watch yourself, James and Wayne Goss as you lot are the most honest youtubers and actually enjoy what yous do while living in the real world, thank you thank you ❤❤❤
🖤🖤🖤🖤 thank you so much!
The second hand embarrassment I felt with the “over 40 “ clip was unreal! I’m not sure she understands that she doesn’t have to do her makeup like those makeup tutorials and the way she does her makeup is good for her.
The over 40 one was absolutely
The best reaction. You said “real mom… as opposed to what?” 😂my thoughts exactly. I’m a real mom with two real kids who likes a full beat most of the time. Haha
9:22 I love her vibe, just the bluntness and no bullshit manner. Also, GEE WHIZ, color changing foundation not working for anyone without a porcelain white skin tone, color me surprised!
Thank you for sounding off on the 44 yr old. I'm 61 and can tell you she was all the way off. Frankly, I love how you taught me to apply my liner. And the last shot just made me burst out laughing.
