***** SKIN TYPE ETC. *****
I am 38 and my skin is pretty "normal" with no dryness or particular oily areas. I do have early signs of aging like fine lines/texture, as well as some sun damage and REDNESS!
I don't use fake tan, but I get very tan naturally in the summer as I have an olive undertone so my face is often a LOT lighter than my body, because I keep my face very well protected to keep my melasma under control and signs of aging at bay!

Omg a collab between you and the Welsh twins would be EPIC, please God make it happen!!!

[wordupbuttercup]

Hello gorgeous! Charlotte, I just wanted to take a second and tell you thank you for being my absolute FAVORITE content creator! I will always look forward to your videos, they calm me and make me super happy!

[catethegreatbeauty]

Bahahahahaha omg you're right SO MANY QUESTIONS! Thank you so much for doing the tag- I am loving your answers! xoxo

[lindalew]

My faves are the “you don’t need that” videos sharing good sense, saving me and I’m sure other viewers a lot of money🙏

[NancyEllenB]

You may not consider yourself an “influencer, ” but you have quickly become a FAVORITE of mine. Love watching your videos!

[BetterOffRed]

I’m so glad you did the tag!!! I LOVE hearing all the different juicy confessions! 😽♥️ You are such a delight - AND SO TALENTED!

[margaretanderson]

Oh my goodness Charlotte, your soooo my people! Could not imagine someone leaving horrible comments on your channel. I did want to add though your honesty and charisma is more of the "influence" of why I return to your channel consistently. Thank you for all you share in this "safe space" 💌

[CarmelN]

You’re right, watching you is like sitting down with a good friend! You are a joy to watch, Charlotte. Thanks for everything you do 🥰💛

[Gudia]

your personality is the main reason I watch your videos!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[mariabroberg]

Yeah, I think your level of integrity is admirable. I think you are really skilled in being personal without being private (and that is something I appreciate).

[maureenormston]

Charlotte and The definitely tune in for that one 👌. Enjoyed this video 👍

[harleyzep]

I for one am so glad that you are an influencer. You have influenced me many times to put my money back in my wallet. You’re a money saving super hero!!!

[Kiwi_Christine]

I love your style of communication. As someone who is 50% precise personality (the temperaments test) I like your attention to detail, and with being 50% playful personality I love your sense of humour. Being from an English family I appreciate the dryness, as my father was the king of that.

[sashaminium]

You’ve quickly become one of my favorite YouTubers, and this video is Exhibit A for exactly why: you’re honest, relatable, and genuine. I also really appreciate that you’re not just trying to push products at us. I love your You Don’t Need That series, but I’ll watch anything you put out there 🙂

[Midwest_Sunshine]

You are definitely “my people” and I’m so grateful to have found your channel! Thanks for the effort you put into your content, and for giving so much of yourself and your time back to your subscribers. I also “fan girl” a little (if I’m honest) anytime you reply. LOL

[jamiliawallace]

Your just a realist. You make ppl question their purchases so they spend their money appropriately. I think that’s why I subscribed because that’s how I purchase my products.

[meitalkabeli]

Enjoyed this so much, I have always loved your personality and humor you bring to your videos, and appreciate all the insight you have.

[keleighmay]

You are definitely my kind of people. I will be honest, I rarely wear makeup and when I do it is always drugstore and I don't see that changing but I just love your personality so much that I watch every one of your videos purely because of your personality.
Also, a collab between you and the Welsh twins would be my DREAM!

[BlingyBea]

Oh a video with you and the Welsh Twins would go off the charts for sure, would love to see that happen. Your glorious in every way, I so look forward to your uploads especially those “I don’t need that”. Bless Mel❤

I intend this as a compliment though I can't really think of the most effective way to say it without being blunt, but I think the thing that sets your channel apart from others is that you emphasize your biases and very rarely do I feel you're trying to put on a show to play to either the brands or your audience. When you're very excited about a product you will still say "this may not be good for you if..." and when you dislike a product you'll include a "but this may be good for you if..." type of commentary. I don't buy much but I have purchased a product during your "you don't need that videos" because even in the middle of that context you couldn't/didn't shy away from what made the product unique and valuable. When you are passing on buying a product you don't express a desire that all releases cater to your preferences and when you buy something only for review purposes you don't carry a depressing vibe through the course of the video when it doesn't meet some sort of unrealistic expectation. Not only does this create a level of authenticity in your reviews, it also makes it useful for anyone to be able to come to your channel and gain useful feedback even if your preferences don't align with theirs.

In terms of new content... I recognize this is odd and may not fit the algorithm or your personal preference, but I'd find it interesting to watch someone with your temperament do interviews and training with experts, other content creators and maybe brands or smaller artists. You make it clear you're not an expert in makeup, but with that perspective I think it could be interesting watching you be able to interact with professionals to train. Essentially it would be an expansion on a tutorial where something is explained and simultaneously questioned by someone who is inquisitive, thorough and more relatable. I'd think one format for training could be for example a 10-15 minute interview and tutorial followed by a few days of check in while you experiment with the new knowledge and a final assessment of how you feel about the experience following that experimentation. Not only does this give viewers the chance to experience the training, but also an analysis on whether it's a worthwhile investment for the average makeup user to look into.
