    Michelle, I took your videos for granted. You were straight to the point, creative, and drama-free. The beauty community of today is toxic.

      @@kurlykayla9013 There's a blog named MichellePhail on Tumblr and it highlighted the drama that Michelle was involved in. She was angry at a 16 year old girl saying the word retarded. Promise also vented about her in a tweet (I can't remember) but never mentioned Michelle's name. She has been called out by others before but it's been a long time already. She hasn't been in the spotlight lately.

      Kia Jones Wow, I didn’t know about the incident regarding the cat. I am aware of the incident with her iQQU product not being FDA approve.
      Anyway, I don’t really care for Michelle Phan because I was never a fan of hers to begin with. She admitted that makeup is not her passion.

      Especially with her past. The Internet is brutal nowadays. She has $50 million dollars anyways. She doesn't have to ever work super hard if she doesn't want to. I know she has her makeup line now that seems to be going well.
      I saw some of the comments here criticizing some past behavior but she admits in the video money and success brought out the worst in her so it's not like she lied about that. She admits she got too ambitious. So what is the issue here? Social media is so toxic now why would anyone wish that hell on her?

It was stolen; twisted; perverted; and corrupted from very, very ancient Paganism, which is based on and around Humanity; Nature; Spirituality; and Science, where there is also so much proof of that.

    "Foundation. Powder. Highlight. Setting Spray. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Drama Channels attacked. Only Michelle, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Drama Channels are nearing victory in the War. Some people believe that Michelle Phan will never upload again onto TH-cam, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, Michelle will return to save the beauty community."

    I don't care what anyone says. Michelle Phan is iconic, will always be a legend, and is an OG TH-cam Beauty Guru.
    She basically invented or predicted the mainstream success of things like Clarisonic: "Hey guys buy a sonic oscillating toothbrush and use it on your face to exfoliate."
    She also used to pull from her art background and give awesome DIY cheap hacks and tips like using Dawn antibacterial dish soap to clean makeup brushes and beauty blenders - instead of buying expensive cleansers - something that my female relatives still do, up to this very day.

      The solution lies in our hands. If we stop supporting all these toxic people then they will either change either they will go away. But the problem is that most of us love toxic people and we make them to climb up the social and economical scale. They might be talented but most of them are empty or i can even say petty and cruel sometimes. Idk what else to say. All i know is that I'm sick and tired of the beauty community as it is now.

    When she says "money can't buy happiness" she's not saying it from the perspective of a rich kid. She's saying it from the perspective of someone who grew up poor, soneone who has been a broke college student with bills to pay and a family to support. She's one of the first big TH-camrs. An Asian-american child, she was the daughter of two immigrants.
    Her family was very poor, so she worked extremely hard in school in order to get into a good college and support her family by making a lot of money. But in the end she realized med school was not for her and she applied to art school instead. I believe due to her grades, she even managed to secure a scholarship for art school as well. Her mother was devastated that Michelle would not go to med school but in the end accepted it. The students in Michelle's art school were all presented with laptops, which also had access to internet. She used the webcam to film a beauty tutorial and flash forward to the present: through consistent hard work Michelle has made enough money to support her family.
    Anyone who says she has no idea what she's saying, that she couldn't possibly know the true value of money is, I hope after reading this you've gained a new perspective.

These beauty gurus nowadays should really learn from Michelle and take a break from the internet to really figure out their miserable lives and solve all their problems privately like an ADULT !! It's so ridiculous that Michelle was the only person who did the right thing leaving the community and grew from within mentally and came back stronger and more mature.

      SO TRUE. Money CAN'T buy your way out of depression and success DOESN'T heal depression. Depression doesn't care how rich, popular, beautiful or successful you are..... Those that don't endure depression will never fully understand. Sure, they may post a blurb acknowledging it on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts..... but they wont understand that it can take you to the lowest of lows and make you feel completely alone even in a room full of people. That you can't just 'think happy thoughts' or have a girls day and shop until you drop and *poof* it's gone. It doesn't go away and it doesn't care who you are.

    To be honest, I really miss the old beauty community. No shade, no drama. It's all about beauty arts behind the makeup with makeup tutorial. No doubt that Michelle Phan is the real mvp of beauty gurus. We all were still young, living with big hopes and big dreams back then, sit in front of pc watching her Barbie Makeup Tutorial Video, which inspired us to do makeup as a kid. And I swear I miss all of that. Incredibly nostalgic.
    It's like the world knew that the community is about to be a huge mess and save Michelle from it, and im glad that she left youtube. You can tell how much she enjoy her peaceful life right now, living as a normal human without chasing the fame. And i'm happy for that. I'm happy that the world could save Michelle from toxic drama.

      I think every HUGE beauty guru needs to sit down in a well-organized conference with and without youtube and fix EVERYTHING. Literally. TH-cam is messed up. Casey Neistat has said so, Shonduras has, Roman Atwood has, Tanner Fox has, and a bunch of others like Shane Dawson and Grav3yardgirl. Things need to change. I like that money made the content because back when youtube first came out right before Google took over about 5 or so years before, it sucked. I didnt like it at all. I hated how everything linked to a video and they were crappy. Right before Google took over like 1-3 years before is when youtube was awesome. I loved it and still do for the creators that dont let the money make them. But honestly the money and drive to get the views to make the money is what made people become better creators. Its true.
      I just love how a bunch of creators have said this on TH-cam in videos and a few in emails and its just ignored for big buisness that supplies the ads that pay the creators and youtube. Google is money hungry and I wish the owner of TH-cam hadnt sold out to them. You can tell because they changed the play buttons twice since the first ones they made. I hate the new ones. Its an ugly recessed button shape in a plaque. Its not a button anymore. So lame. The only one to stay the same is the diamond one cause not a lot of people have it.

      Kristen Embry I totally get what you're saying. Beautiful comment worth thinking over actually. It's not that having a career out of TH-cam is bad, but everything comes with a price and one slightly influential person's actions /lifestyle or a trend these days influences many others. It isn't just TH-cam, society increasingly has been lacking soul. On the one hand you can say we have people who are very aware and open minded and accepting (compared to previous generations) , but there's also a lot of emphasis on glamour and marketability. Competition, the survival of the most aggressive and active lot, brings a strange obsession for perfection. A world where everything is for sale, is ultimately stifling as a whole, whether it brings profit for individuals or not is a different question altogether.

    There are many chances that you will not read this, that it will not matter, but this video made me cry. I remember the first video I saw of you in 2012, I remember what I used your videos in some moments. You always gave me a wonderful person, you were the first famous person I admired. I still remember when you mentioned me on a pillow talk how much everything has changed. I am very happy that you are finding your way, I am very happy that you are looking for happiness. You will always mean something to me. Thank you. Good luck.

      @@madisonj8828 no. She might come back. Its not that she hates making videos or sharing content, she loved it but she lost herself in the midst of it. This was her happiness, her dream. I don't think she's ready to stop. She's still creating, through her brand. Through her social media, she has said that she will return once she recharges, referencing this anime (?) character that recharges before he returns again, stronger. In the description of this video, she also says she'll come back once she feels inspired to share again. Yes, she is happy now. But it doesn't mean she won't come back, no one can guarantee that she will, but she might. If you don't follow her or know her I guess you really don't know then. She's still uploading videos on her brand's channel.

Also, for anyone that had conflicting feelings on the ending having ads, know this is something she's working on for herself without anyone really telling her to. As she said, she is still striving to continue creating and discover more without anyone dictating her. Now she can use the money she's earned from her previous success and the lessons she's learned to build another chapter of her life. Thank you Michelle, I hope you found peace during your time away.

People wonder why the planet is being destroyed or simply don't care about it rather than acknowledging inconvient realities alongside vowing to NEVER live for the financial or sexual aspects of life. Mental gymnastic routines are being performed around inconvenient realities in order to live a and its literally destroying the planet. Even though Im not attacking anyone or calling this girl evil, in response to this comment instead of humbling themselves & acknowledging these unfortunate facts she and her followers will instead continue the mental gymnastic routine I previously mentioned.

    I'll never forget your drugstore videos. You were my introduction into the beauty world. I remember you started using more and more expensive products and I watched up until you partnered up with Lancome. I think that's where you lost a lot of your following. Love you though. You changed my life and introduced me to beauty. I knew nothing about makeup before I watched your videos. Thank you for everything.
