It sucks that some of us have to deal with acne and acne scars, we’re all still beautiful regardless. I still have a hard time believing that but with time 😊💪🏾

You’re beautiful Naakie ❤️ Thank you for not giving up and still giving us content, it’s beautiful to watch 🥺❤️

[meshiapowell]

I love your personality. And don't worry about the names of the techniques. We all know what you were talking about.

I personally have too much makeup and end up doing a lot most of the time but as much as I like going over the top my heart really belongs to your style of doing things, so classy and sophisticated !

[sammylee]

This is exactly what I wanted. Concealer and a little bit of stuff. Thank you for existing. I've never put on makeup myself and I've only wore it once in my life.

I just needed a idea or tutorial of what I needed to do for a simple makeup look.

I just came from your video from 2 years ago about covering acne and hyperpigmentation! But I just wanted to say I love how you keep it real and don’t strive for perfection. It’s so refreshing so thank youuuu!!🥺🧡

I love make up but I hate wearing it, how it smells/feels, having to touch my face more and increase my pimples to cover up my pimples😥and being greasy af by night but this looks great and doable you're a natural beauty for sure 👍

This routine saved me! I just bought the Ilia concealer and it is awesome.

Oh girl the struggle of acne! For me it started at 26!! But for the research i did it was hormonal, my dr suggested birth control pill i refused cz i felt like it will be covering the real issue. So i wanted to fix my hormonal imbalance naturally. So i checked on the net and i learnt abt nutrition and how they affects hormones. So i started reducing sugar, empty carbs( white bread, pasta, , ) and reducing the amount of fruits( i ate too much and they affect insulin ) i started to do intermittent fasting and stopped completely eating between meals ( snacks). I increased nutrient dense food like liver and other organ meats, cod liver oil, which by the way contains very high amounts of vit A which the main component of acne treatment. And my acne is reducing visibly and i recently stopped using harsh face wash and use an authentic savon de Marseille ( i live in France) you could use a minimal ingredient soap. And for moisturizing i use adapalene ( here you get it only on prescription) then top of with raw unprocessed shear butter( also contains vit A and E). And my skin has improved so much.
To sum up to heal acne which is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance it start from within by balancing hormones with the way we eat, how we manage stress, the amount of sleep we get, .... and the you tacle the outer layer which is the skin. This works on for the long haul bcz you treat the main cause not the symptoms.
Wishing success to anyone going on the journey to heal acne. You can do it 💪💪💪.

You are beautiful with or without the make up. Your natural features don’t even require any. Great personality, so real. Love it!

[TakeHeartJh.]

Your personality kept me smiling and watching. My kind of makeup, simple and not heavy ☺️☺️👌🏾

[jasminerossette]

I love this makeup look on you! I just got rid of my foundation because I too am over the heavy makeup or makeup feeling on my skin 🙌🏽🙌🏽 gonna look into Ilia since the colour on you looks 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[xoxkassey]

Thanks for the tips and recommendations!

[BTSDimplyBean]

Omg gorgeous!! You're so pretty! 😍❤

[emaak]

Love this ! Thanks for posting an updated routine ! <3

[krharris]

Hello, Naakie! I also have hyperpigmentation and have sensitive skin, so my makeup routine is very similar to yours. I want to recommend that you try Hero's lighting wand for hyperpigmentation. I have noticed significant improvements! I really hope your channel continues to grow because I really like that you embrace your flaws and beauty. Your look is very polished and natural 🥰

[shanarraturner]

I struggle with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and I just added l glutathione to my regimen. It’s supposed to prevent it and I see a difference so far. Also evening primrose oil helped with my acne. I know you already have your own regimen but I just thought I’d suggest it to you😊

[amberr]

“Don’t judge me” lol this is a judgement-free zone!! Love this tutorial, thank you 😊

[judithmugisa]

I love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍, that’s all i am for, no makeup makeup look

Nice tips! I do the same with actual foundation. I just dot it on the spots and blend. If the accutane doesn't work out will you be trying birth control? We have the same type and severity of acne; yours looks to be hormonal like mine. I had to break down and get on it after fighting my acne with everything for 3+ years. My dermatologist (3rd dermatologist, I might add😄) and gynecologist recommended it soley for acne but I refused for the entire three years. I've been on it for 4 months now and my acne is actually under control.
My spots are fading with just the use of a simple face wash and some glycolic acid/BHA pads. A few days a month I may develop one or two bumps and that's usually due to a sugar binge and my cycle.
Also, thanks for being so transparent; it's refreshing and reassuring. You ARE a beautiful spirit!
