      Burn chicken nugget, I used to like Tati only for her excessive vanity and spending because no one is as self obsessed as she is and she’s tried every product so I used to go to her for product information but basically she only promotes people who pay her now. She didn’t have the slightest of a problem with James Charles’ lifestyle until he didn’t support her product and as a grown woman she was trying to talk crap about a guy half her age and his mom.. that’s when I stopped watching her. Now everyone sees both sides and she’s loosing viewers aka money she’s suddenly “sorry” and trying to fake tears in a really awkward, pathetic way so she doesn’t seem like as huge of a bitch as she is.

      @eugeniagretta 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      @@cyntax4901 Okay I might be missing some few points but basically: the drama between James Charles and Tati blew up again now and people are suspecting it has to do with Shane and Jeffree manipulating Tati. Shane wrote a statement that he thinks James needs "a humble pie" and recorded an apology video. Shane has been accused again of being racist & ped*philia and even Jaden Smith tweeted how disgusted he is (because it involves Jaden Smith's sister). Tati recently uploaded a video of why she was mad at James in the 2019 drama, when Shane knows this, he went on live, calling her "manipulative" and that he can't believe she is saying. Though, there are many youtubers who has also been exposing Jeffree of wanting to see James fall/get cancelled. So, in my opinion what Tati said is true and makes sense that Jeffree and Shane was gaslighting her. Jeffree still remains silent as for now and I doubt he's going to say anything lol. That's all I know or remember, at least lol I hope this helps 😳 also sorry it's too long lmaoo, have a nice day🌸

    Super interesting!!! As a “no longer in my youth” woman I have seen makeup trends come and go. In the late 80s/early 90s we were all instructed to put our blush on the upper part of our cheekbones. Now - we hadn’t invented blending yet - so it wasn’t as pretty - but it was basically that same idea!

    • @bozieduble8541

But really there's nothing wrong with trying it out sometimes. Just a glow up and not looking like you're so stressed. XD Even using a bit of chapstick - some guys tell you it's gay, but avoiding cracked and chapped lips is better. Besides, there are girls/women who likes a man whom they can turn to and ask opinions/brainstorm with to level up their looks. So there is definitely nothing wrong with learning a bit about make ups~

    Up until very recently at the age of 34 I didn't know that I had lived my life in a state of depersonalization. Pretty severe one. I thought that's how everyone experienced life. I've been able to understand why certain things having to do with the structure and proportions of my face and body in general have been so impossible for me. I don't hate my body so I wouldn't call it body dysmorphia I guess but, I do not understand it. I use it well enough, but when it comes down to how something will fit me or what shades would look good on me, it's like there's just nothing there. I got nothing going on up there. So these videos are so incredibly helpful, thank you so so much. I don't know that when you made them you considered they would actually help people with chronic mental conditions but, here we are. I'm also on the spectrum and your calm demeanor is much appreciated. I have a hard time processing people with instructors animating into the camera like they're already at the party they're gearing up for.

    Yes!! the editorial look is so nice and different from the traditional blush placement, and thats how I do it when I have a fun blush to try out. I use blush on apple of cheeks sometimes under other products because yes, youthflow glow, but also yes, can look like the focus is too much on the center of the face and loses definition. Love this video and how you encourage ppl to creatively work with the face shape they have

    Just found your channel and loving it. I love how you explain that this is the way *you* like to place blush, and not necessarily THE way. It's about discovering what makeup can do to your look and adopting your own "best". Weighing the pros and cons of placement without judgement is 10/10.

    As someone who was obsessed with korean makeup in high school, and then obsessed with more mature looking makeup in my 20’s, I agree. The blush that goes on the apples of your cheek looks more cutesy and can also look beachy and natural if you use a rose colored blush and add a bit on the bridge of your nose. It looks sunkissed.

    The cheek "youthful" side really reminds me of Natalie Portman, or someone who is happy and fresh from playing in the snow. The cheekbone "high-fashion" side feels more dramatic and runway model or edgy and maybe with a tiny nod to the 80s.
    I like both and can really see how someone's style, personality, and bone structure could determine which of the two suits them more.
    I love the simplicity of this video, that it focuses on simply comparing two very simple techniques and would love to see more makeup videos that simple like say 2-4 styles of lashes or something.

    I really like your preference area for blush - it's much edgier and "high fashion" as you said... but in a way, it also looks more like where a bruise would be found (along the bone structure), rather than an area that would naturally blush with healthy blood flow (the muscle of the cheek)... so as you said after looking at it here, I'm not sure which I would prefer, actually.
