Finally! My 2023 Life Update❤️

I'm back! We're reunited on Youtube my sweet beauties! Let's get this life update party started! It's been too long since I've posted a long video on Youtube, so get ready to hang out with your girl for 27 minutes of life updates and me putting my makeup on! I'll be answering some of the most asked questions like: why I haven't been making Youtube videos, how my health is, what I've been working on, how old are the kids now, am I still in a relationship and all the questions you guys asked me on Instagram for this video!

I just want to say thank you so much for all of your love and support over the years. You guys are truly the reason I started Youtube over 14 years ago! I just wanted to teach people what I knew as a makeup artist and to be able to touch your lives has meant more that I can ever say. Each of you has been what has given me meaning to what I do and I feel so grateful to have such an amazing group of precious, precious people, who have lifted my heart more times than you know! I wish I could hug each and every one of you, right now!

So onto the life update...come have some fun with me as I share what's been going in my life, for my official: Life Update 2023, oh yeah, and get ready with me! I do look better at the end, well except for my hair!

I love you guys so much! Love and huge, huge hugs, your girl, Kandee

I have to agree with whoever said it's not just about the makeup. I have watched you for soooo long. For me, there was a period of time where I went through some growing up and was becoming an adult and didn't watch YouTube as much as I had before but I always still made time to watch your videos or at least check on you social media because you've always been more of a internet friend to me rather than an influencer. I think that's what kept people coming back here. You're so much more than just a makeup artist to those of us OG viewers. We've watch you go through tough times like losing your dad and I remember watching the video then of you talking about the loss you experience and genuinely crying with my friend. You have always made me and I know so many others feel so special even though you don't know many of us personally. You have this way of making us feel like we have a friend and what we are going through in life, we are not alone in and that's why I love you so much.

I can’t express how happy this made me! I also don’t comment often but I have watched you since I was 12 or 13 and I am 28 now! I can confidently say you played the biggest role in my love for makeup! Which is still a huge passion of mine, my longest hobby and passion. You light up this world. I am interested in ANY videos you want to put up! I can say for myself I will always always always watch and support. You’re such an inspiration and I am thankful for you. I think of you anytime I put Vaseline on my face, which you showed us long long before this slugging trend 💕 thank you for being you Kandee🥰

I think I can speak for all of us OG fans when I say we’ve missed long-form Kandee content!! We love you! ❤❤

[MichelleB]

We totally need Kandee on YouTube right now!! 💜

[joanellis]

I’ve watched you for over 10 years and I missed this! I’m too old for all the short content, keep going with longer videos. You are a ray of sunshine that’s needed here! ❤

[lindseychristopher]

I am so here for this. ❤❤❤ As a 43-year-old who learned everything she knows about skincare and makeup from YouTube, it’s lovely to see more of the OGs coming back into this space. The new TikTok beauty community is fun but let’s be honest - not all of us can relate to their 20-year-old skin.

[DISCOGLIST]

Welcome back sunshine ❤ You are the light the world needs right now ⭐

[Jlynne]

You DON’T need to try and make your content short for us Kandee…we all want as much Kandee as we can get! SO excited to see you back on the tube!!!🥰🙌

[ANNAKAZBERUK]

I feel emotional watching this video. You were the first person who really influenced me. Till today, I drink this Norwegian fish oil, cut my t-shirts, and wash brushes with baby shampoo. I still put eye shadows over the eyeliner! I missed my Kandee. Oh, and recently Ian started following me on Insta, which was mind-blowing! So, watching this video today is like teleporting to 2007. Nothing changed - you are still the same Kandee ❤

[daniellejstephens]

Not me crying through this entire video realizing how much I missed you. I out of no where thought to myself where has she been! So glad your back

Hi Kandee, I don't know if you will ever read this but I wanted to say something. I hardly comment but I felt like I have to say something. I have watched you since I was 15 or 16. And I always looked forward to your videos. You and my mom have taught me a lot about makeup. And your videos have helped when I was in a really bad place. I would always watch your videos and you made me smile.

My mom recently passed away and I am still devastated by it. It hurts. And before that my brother passed away. So its been ALOT to deal with. But the first thing I did to make myself feel better is put one of your older videos on and I immediately smiled and felt better. Thank you so much for being a blessing to me, even if its just in a form of a video. Thank you for being here. Just know that you do matter. And that your work speaks for itself. I was hoping one day you would come back. :)

Anyways, I just wanted to say how much your videos mean to me. Thanks for listening. Love your work. Keep it up. ❤

KANDEE, you’re are the most reputable, most legit, most serious, most professional MOST HONEST AND MOST AUTHENTIC person on here. We appreciate you and we believe you. Thanks for being real.

[kellycappiello]

I know you asked what kind of content we want to see BUT, Kandee, we’re here for YOU! What’s kept most of us subscribed for 14 years is your fun personality, caring heart and positive outlook. You can make whatever content you feel like making whenever/wherever you feel like making it, and we’ll tune in. ❤️

[ChristineFYI]

I’m 38 now and I’ve been watching you since I was like 24. I had my daughter two years after Ellie was born and became a single mom. I NEEDED your videos to keep me going. I appreciated your positivity, faith, and talent. I could go on forever. I’ve always felt like we’re friends just chatting over coffee. 🤟🏻

And I know I can watch your videos around my daughter without cussing or chaos. I’d love for you and Ellie to do a young girls series so our daughters could experience the same love from you that my generation did. Chatting about dealing with all the things the younger girls deal with now. Body positivity, make up, bullying, etc.

I've watched you since I was in my late 20s.. I'm now 40 and the only make up channel I would go to and never forget is Kandee Johnson! You're the one who started me on the Norwegian Cod liver oil... and so much more!! I'm so glad to see your beautiful face and soul. You're such a blessing and so much more than makeup! But because we are women, we also look forward to all the beautiful things and tricks you've got to share with us!

You're an amazing woman and please do not quit making YouTube videos. Reels are way too quick and have little depth... ❤

[kelseycorber]

As someone soooo tired of what YouTube has become (neutral and blah), I’m ready for the sparkly, colorful presence of Kandy!! Anything you create is phenomenal!

[NixxSings]

I RAN over here from IG!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I agree about the TikToks/shorts giving me anxiety and getting boring. Seeing your long form content without tons of cuts/editing/music is so refreshing.

I genuinely feel like your target market is here for YOU. YOU are a precious diamond to us. 💎❤️

[MultiMelcat]

KANDEE!! I started watching you at 27 when I had 5 young kids and fell in love with you and your videos. I was cutting up all my t shirts, all the things. I turned 40 this year. My youngest is now 13. It has been the hardest year of my life due to a personal betrayal. I prayed for you with all my heart when your dad died. I have always felt like you were the sister I always needed. I don’t have TikTok, I will forever be a YouTube girl. God has used you to send encouraging words straight into my heart. I love you Kandee ❤

[farrahbennett]

Kandee, follower from early early days here…we absolutely love you to pieces and we NEED Kandee on YouTube! You are very unique and soooo fun to watch! You are a blessing to the world! 💜

[jennalyn]

You need to be your total authentic self like in the beginning. I’m a ride or die since 2009. We are still here and we need you! Your originality in sharing makeup, crafts, decor etc was amazing
