Karima, can I just commend you on how well spoken you are? I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you never 'umm' or 'errr' or say 'like' every other word and I find it absolutely refreshing! With every word you say I just want to sit there and listen intently because you just draw me in to a make up trance! It's like you've had a script and rehearsed it and you're taking your time to articulate things for us so we understand easily - I just love you. LOVE YOU <3

I do enjoy makeup and have been wearing it for years, but am not a collector by any means. I own far less makeup than most people who say they're "into" makeup. But I did purchase the Naked 1 palette because of the insane hype and the Viseart Neutral palette because of your recommendation. I have not been disappointed in either.

In a world where almost every single you tuber is so self absorbed that they think we need a 45 minute video on their favorites, you are a breath of fresh air. Eloquent, with great content, clean and clear, and you are always straight to the point with great information. You, Lisa E and Mr. Goss are my go to when I just need to get the content without a fuss, and still be educated. Keep up the great work! It also doesn't hurt that you have such a beautiful and fresh way of doing your makeup. I love that it's different than the heavily contoured/Instagram brows type of beauty gurus, because most of us do not go out on a day to day basis in drag makeup (even though I sometimes wish I could! Lol).
Yes to more too 5 videos!

[claudiav]

Love those videos! Please do more!! And I’d love a top colorful palette too 😘

[issiyah]

Beautiful crisp, clean video - love your content. Yes to top 5 highlighters! Have to acknowledge your brow game ;)

[lidahall]

Top contours - please! I love that you prefer a cooler, more "natural" & less bronze contour than many on YT...

[wendyp]

Yes! Totally up for a TOP 5 series! Thanks Karima. :)

[SHdah]

You are the only one on youtube that does highlighting right

[aimeetiare]

Karimaaa! You're one of my favourite youtubers ever!! You're so down to earth, honest and collected. You deserve a million subscribers! I could listen to you talk all day! xx <333

I got the Naked Smokey palette last summer and have really enjoyed it! Urban Decay does some awesome eyeshadows. I also grabbed the Urban Decay Smoked palette on clearance and have been using it a ton. I can do very soft everyday looks with it and bump them up to dramatic when I want to, and it's nice and small so it's great to travel with.

[pamelaharrison]

Loved your top five!! More videos like this would be so appreciated!!🙋🏼

[aleshavernon]

I would love to see your favorite bronzers, contours, eye and face primers, as well as blushes for fair to medium skin tones! Please do an updated high end makeup brush favorites video too please!

[bekabeka]

Yes! Love your picks. Def would love a more colorful palette video too!

[effbeff]

How about top 'really nourishing lipbalms/treatments'? That's something I've never seen but I think it would be awesome ❤️

[Saga]
