Now I wonder how does Makeup primer work. Would you like to make explanation video about this?

[zmiye]

Great video, thanks. Could you please do a detailed video on alcohol in cosmetics? Differences in cheap vs. expensive makeup (eyeshadow, powder) ingredients?

[mayragutierrez]

Not sure if this is something that would interest you but I would love to see the science behind "cleansing conditioners" and if they actually work and cleansing the scalp/hair.

Loved the video💗
Could you perhaps make a video on Ceramides in skincare?
And do they need to be used in a particular ratio with cholesterol and FFA to be effective?

[ccorday]

AMAZING!!! I asked for this video, so glad you made it! I LOVE to learn about ingredients so that I can compare products and choose the best one for my budget and effect I want.

I'm a normal guy, I'm not in any performing arts, so I know very very very very little about cosmetics, because I don't use them. My niece is 14, so she's got into the makeup stuff. She what's showing me some of the new products she bought, I was trying to understand what she was talking about, but now I understand a little bit better. Thank you for the education of what it even is.

[nikksterr]

Love these. Can you do one on how primers work?

Hi! I've been trying to find a conclusive answer to this: does setting spray decrease the effectiveness of sunscreen? I really want to incorporate a setting spray into my makeup routine but I am worried about what could happen to the sunscreen underneath.

[CatRelebret]

This is exactly what I've been wondering since I'm trying to find a good setting spray that will just hydrate and is affordable. Thank you!

[spacetrebuchet]

I have been looking for someone with this kind of information for awhile now, thank you!

[lindaarmel]

Lol wow!! Who knew that hairspray can also be used as a fixing spray lol all of those missed spays of hair spray that were meant for my hair but actually went on my face was actually beneficial for my make up and I’ve been doing it for years and it didn’t even know it lol!!! Thank you 🙏 so much for sharing your knowledge and teaching me something new🌺

[donnaroberts]

You said click the bell for notification, I heard click the bell for nerdification.

Thank you for this, I was wondering what the differences were.

[maggiemar]

We learn something new every day, thank you! That was very informative, and I always wondered abt the hairspray thing

[connieoestreich]

Great video! I was really doubting the usefulness of setting spray not understanding how they work. But you definitely fixed that!! 🤗
Are your eyes ok?

[tkmccoywv]

I'd like to see a video on supplements and/or vitamins that help the skin, especially aging skin. I'm 59 and my skin has been dry at the very best of times. I drink about a gallon of water a day, so it's not that. I'm looking for other options. Love your videos!

[gingertunstall]

I would love it if you would address the issue of applying direct acids like Vitamin C or Glycolic acid over peptide products. I have read that the acids can make the peptides ineffective. Thanks!

[sophieloves]

This was such a perfect explanation of what they are and I love that u included the actual sprays and what they are used for and how they are different. Thank you 😊

[averyzaliasylvia]

Holy crap, this is what I am talking about.
Most channel doesn't really explain what's going on aka in depth explanations because obviously they are not a scientist... 💕💕
And you're so charming as well.

[superbmediacontentcreator]

I did not take you very seriously when I first clicked on your channel but found this report comprehensive, pointed and above all accurate.

[suzannetalbert]

I never realized there were two types so thanks for the excellent info! Love your channel :)
