You’re like one of the realest beauty YouTubers. You seem to really see makeup as an art, and like teaching people how to properly do makeup to where it will suit their face shapes. Every other beauty YouTuber seems like they make videos because they have to, like it’s just a job and they’re on the clock waiting to go home. I like that you genuinely seem to enjoy teaching people, and I like that, because no one does tutorials anymore; it’s always sponsored videos and products, people always trying to sell us stuff.

[m_a_k_e_n_n_a]

you’re the difference between a Makeup Artist and a youtuber who’s just good at putting makeup on their own face

[qkcvbwl]

This is a vital, go-to technique for black women for the longest. When I first got into makeup, I thought the only lipsticks I could ever wear were dark. Lighter lipsticks were typically too bright/ashy & not flattering, so I assumed they weren’t made for us. My mom and aunts taught me the lipliner trick and it changed the game for me - nothing was off limits from there :)

Lipliner has historically been a staple in Latina makeup looks as well

[paranoiascape]

I notice you often only apply makeup to the area you’re talking about specifically. im not distracted by other bright shades on other parts of the face and it helps a lot!

[Beebumblebee]

I am so grateful you don't filter your videos. It gives a much better representation of what the makeup actually looks like.

[ewalepiarz]

Since you taught me how to contour my lips I dont want lip fillers anymore so… THANK YOU! ❤️

[enkidu]

I never learned makeup when I was young (wrong puberty) and I have found most YouTube tutorials to be frustratingly difficult to follow. I felt like I could actually understand this, and focusing on one topic at a time (lips, brows, contouring) keeps me from getting overwhelmed by having all this new info getting thrown at me. I've been looking for something like this for more than a year, I'm so excited to check out your other videos!

[mintyfreshfiend]

I was really expecting a bright neon pink when you were talking about how pink the product was ha ha
I'd love to see a video on bold colored lips actually!

[juliejeffries]

love you because you’re so calm and get straight to the point 😍😍

[jmwonderland]

Your explanations on the WHY in your videos is so helpful. You’re not just showing us what to do but explaining why you’re doing it. 😊

[klace]

I love both looks personally. The first (the flat colour) looks a bit more youthful to me, so I think it’s down to preference. Still a great video! I will definitely try to contour my lips next time

[noone-mgqn]

A tip for pale skinned ladies, if you have fair skin and cool undertones (my undertone is almost grayish) you can use an eyebrow pencil for blondes. They are usually grayish.

My lips have almost no pigment towards the edges so i always line my lips whether or not i’m gonna use a lipstick. If you find the perfect color you don’t even have to apply lipstick because it looks sooo natural.

Another option i have is the essence eye pencil in the shade hot chocolate. It’s not exactly the right shade but it’s very creamy and super easy to blend.

If i don’t wanna wear lipstick but i still want my lips to look fuller&healthier (because i have very little pigment in my lips, i look dead lol) i place small dots on the edges of my lips with this pencil and blend them together&inwards with a tiny brush. It seperates my lip color from my skin tone, and since all the pigment i have on my lips are concentrated in the inner center part of my lips, my lips automatically look darker overall even though i don’t have any lipstick on.

Just wanted to share in case some of you are having the same problem :)

[rebeccavorwald]

I need more adjectives. The English language just doesn't have enough descriptors to express how freaking awesome you are!!!! You keep it real, easily explain the product and/or application/use. You don't slam products or brands in an inappropriate way. You are the real deal. Straightforward. So knowledgeable and helpful. So inspiring and creative!!! You literally make me feel like I can create anything on the canvas that is my face. Dude, just thanks. ✌🏼💚🙏🏼

[alishabonk]

I hate the contrast between the dark liner and the lighter lipstick shade. However, I totally agree with the concept of using a line to contour, perfect, and ground your lipstick

[JackOllie]

I'm glad you said "a mix of your eyebrow shade and your blush." I knew exactly what to do after that. First the MUFE pencil in Boundless Berry, then work in the MUFE pencil in Endless Cacao. Perfection! It'll be my new lip sculpting routine!

[Neenerella]

I've always used some kind of lip liner, unless it's just a gloss day. But, unlike every other element of my make up, lips just don't last. Eating, drinking, talking, etc. To rebuild multiple layers on such a moving target is too much for my regular days.

[a_duel]

This! I actually just discovered this whole concept in Sephora about a week ago. Was trying to find the perfect shade of brown lipstick for me & we tried probably about 15 different products. Turned out I needed a nude/brown liner with a tiny bit of a pinker shade in the middle. Once I tried this combo, the lip color was more flattering than any of the products we sampled and still looked like a lovely shade of brown for my skin tone. Makeup magic ✨

[thegoldenzipper]

I used to do this in the 90s and I actually prefer the more “boring” solid lip now, but I still watched this in it’s entirety because these videos are so well done 😍 her voice, her technique, her explainations are all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And it’s fun to get a different perspective; beauty is not universal.

[kimfeddema]

I literally have spent the last 3 days in multiple different stores searching for a nude lipstick that works for me because nothing ever looks like it suits me....how do you always know exactly what things your viewers need help with!! Thank you thank you
