Her skin and brows are perfect I'm honestly not sure if she's really not wearing makeup while she's actually talking to the camera.

Society doesn't force me to wear makeup.. I wear it bc I love the process of it and I feel more confident wearing it

[arj]

I really hate it when people with virtually flawless skin go on about having blemishes and acne. They don't realize they make people with REAL acne feel like shit.

[wellhi]

you're so beautiful without make up

[Abstersroxx]

This is depressing. Her face is very clear and pimple free compared to me and many others. Also who has the money to spend on all those treatments?

[valsings]

She looks so pretty without makeup. If I looked like that without it on, I wouldn't wear it. But I look like a stale piece of poop so I kinda need it

[TyniaWilliams]

It's not so easy when you have tons of acne scars and your face is already jacked

[abbyfluck]

This video gave me a huge boast of confidence. I have horrible acne and makeup only makes it worse. So a lot of days I don't where any even tho it makes me uncomfortable. This video helped me realize that no body gives a damn bout the red spots on my nose

WELCOME BACK LUCIE, keep trying things and keep filming xx

Her: constantly pointing out her blemishes and acne that don't exist
Me, a person who actually has legit acne: time to cry

[amiranaval]

She doesn't even have acne. They should do this with someone that actually suffers from skin problems and then see the result.

I honestly thought you'd u were wearing makeup at the beginning, your face is jus so clear and perfect... You should never feel the need to wear makeup. I don't think I need makeup because I like my face, but like you I just enjoy wearing it sometimes because it's fun to apply and you get to be creative, just like you said.

[goldenbarbie]

YOUTUBE, I WILL WATCH THIS VIDEO JUST DON'T SUGGEST IT TO ME ANYMORE

[nostringsattatched]

If I'm being honest, I feel confident without makeup. But, spending and hour on my makeup and just having time to myself is very nice. It's fun learning new techniques and discovering new products to use. Doing makeup is something I love doing. It makes me happy. And sometimes people do notice my brow highlight. Those moments I feel a connection with that person and it's a great feeling.

[strawhberrie]

I literally thought you were wearing makeup in the beginning

[thealth]

My whole life is 5 days without make up. Rarely use

[ashleyalhadeff]

Where does one purchase the necklace you were fiercely sporting in the intro?!? And your brows are naturally on FLEEEEK. That's really all you need!

[mitten]

I'm seriously starting to wonder if there will ever be someone with actual acne problems on these kinds of videos :| like you should see my fucking face people always pointing out the pimples I get on my chin always telling me to do things I've already do "eat healthy, wash your face blah blah."

[lisawilson]

More power to you!!! I am soo proud of you! I've been a makeup artist for 23 years and have taught all kinds of ages and skin types that less is more. I think working for Bobbi Brown really helped me understand that. But now that I'm going to be 46 in October, the crazy hormonal type skin is taking over. I've never been a sun worshipper but now I have lovely discoloration like patches on my cheeks along with some acne scarring from years past. About a month ago I had to go in to the grocery store with no make up and I about had a panic attack.I believe you when you said we are our own worst critic. You are a truly beautiful person and need to do more of these no makeup challenges for all of us!!

[firedmotion]

You are so pretty with Or without makeup.I don't think there is anything wrong with wearing it as long as it's for the right reasons.I work at home so most of the time I try to avoid wearing makeup because I'm 27 and I wanna keep my skin young and clean.If I go out to the city I wear some but I don't want all the stuff in makeup to age me
