Madeyewlook I love you
Madeyewlook thank you for making this video, lex. it definitely needed to be said and really helped me feel better about myself. 💙
Madeyewlook I love you so much
Madeyewlook comment me back
Madeyewlook thank you so much for making this video. I used to edit my pictures (not over edited or anything) and every time I edited them, I would get so many compliments. Then I realized, that isn't me. Yes my personality is the same even if I edit my pictures, but it still isn't me. Then it clicked, I would rather people see the real me and not like me, than people liking someone that isn't the real me. You're gorgeous just the way you are, by the way ❤❤ I love your videos so much!
These types of heavily altered and filtered videos can even affect me when I go to take photos or film. Avoiding it is a lot harder than you would believe, and the influence is much larger than you can ever imagine. At the end of the day, all I want is to be me.
Madeyewlook Preach Lex. I feel the exact same way.
This is why I can't stand instagram makeup. When I see someone says that in their look they used, let's say, ELF's black gel liner, and I've used that product, and I KNOW that it's not that pigmented, smooth, or high quality, it makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong. When in reality, the picture's heavily edited to make the eyeliner look 10x darker.
You rock for making this video! As a photographer, nothing is more frustrating than the constant comments about "make me look skinny" or "can you work some magic to make me look better?". I started a project photographing women called the True Beauty Project to show women that our beauty is more than an appearance and it comes from within! You really exemplify that! ❤️Maybe one day I can photograph you for the project! Wishful thinking ☺️
Keep being you and staying true to your amazing spirit!
That's amazing! Congrats on being awesome
That is amazing! 😆 Keep on inspiring people and making them feel more confident in their own skin. What you are doing is incredible.
I'm scared for my friends cause every time they are on instagram or something they always say "I want to look like that" or "I wish I had skin like that" and I don't know what to say to that!
Another reason you're my favorite being on TH-cam... the soul you present us with is quite refreshing.
I kind of keep looking at the skull behind you on the shelf and think, "Hey, too much filtering. No skin at all!" :)
Hahaha
Lowkey, I think I'm in love with your soul lol
This was so powerful. Honestly, you could not have said it any better. A lot of the points you made really resonated within me, which is how I know that you portrayed your message so well. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for making this! There is so much natural look shaming out there :/ or at least people believe they need to look photoshopped or edited. It's so sad. We need more body positivity/ appearance positivity in this world!! 🤘
You are the best youtube out there. Very honest. I admire you a lot.
Your channels keeping in touch with reality is just another thing that sets you apart from a lot of other people. Accepting what some would call your "flaws" helps other people accept theirs.
You make me so happy, I really needed this video, especially today to be honest. I know that what I see online is most likely photoshop, but I see it so often, that I start to actually think that all of these people's faces are almost flawless. It's been making me slightly paranoid because now every little thing on my face and body bothers me so badly. I always see articles on "how to achieve beautiful skin like a model" or "how to look like a VS angel" and it just makes me feel so inadequate because I know I will NEVER look like that. I can count my blessings that I don't have any deformities, I don't have acne as bad as some others, and I don't have huge weight issues. It's just I want to stop obsessing on trying to look as good as people online.
This is a very true and nice video, though I still want to change my face. Not with filters or drastically or anything. I just wish I didn't have oily skin and have bad acne. I can't find products that work, and I was even on meds at one point .-. my acne just makes me self conscious and insecure. Anyone have good face products for oily skin to get rid of acne??
I deleted ALL of my social media since the beginning of this year. I personally didn't post a lot on my Facebook, but I realized it still affected me seeing how many likes a person had or who was commenting. It was unbelievably ridiculous. Looking at how that alone affected me and how I viewed myself was awful. I also am a type 1 diabetic and really started taking care of myself last year. This however caused me to gain weight and be totally unhappy. But no matter what, I saw how much energy I had and knew I had to keep going and not give up. I went on a bit of a tangent, but I just wanted to let you know Lex, that you have inspired me with your makeup and your opinion of self worth. Loving yourself with no "masks" or "filters" is necessary, because it will help you be the best person you can be. You truly are an inspiration and thank you for sharing this with all of us! I myself needed this especially today! Keep being a rockstar chica!!
Preach it gurl! This is the kind of positivity and encouragement we need in the beauty community. 🙌
Lex, thank you! for making this video and sharing it. Not only do I struggle with how I look, but my 11 year old Beautiful, Talented and Amazing Niece, is going through so much, because she doesn't think she's pretty enough or skinny enough. Breaks my heart to see her battle with those thoughts at such a young age. I'm going to share this with her. ❤
Thank you for addressing this! It is "our problem" because its our duty as humans to help each other, especially the younger or newer humans, who do not have the years of experience, knowledge, and confidence that comes with life! 💜💜💜
I seriously love you for this! You're reminding everyone it's okay to be human, and it's sad that people need to be reminded this. Everyone has something special about themselves and if you're talented, the right people will see that!
I agree so so so much. Its especially terrible when your looking at foundation reviews. I watched so many videos on the too faced born this way foundation and they looked amazing so I almost bought it, thankfully I just got a sample because I HATED it
Even as an artist, I have encountered the same thing with foundations. It makes me so sad! Just show me how the foundation really looks on the skin, no one is judging.
For Too Faced though, I haven't tried the foundation, but I loved their concealer!
I really appreciate your maturity even when you were younger, Lex. Most people DID want to look like others when they were younger (guilty..). Sadly, most people aren't happy with themselves because of imperfections and such. If people don't like you with your natural, bare face, then they don't like the real you. Being yourself (and being happy) is what is important.
I was having this same discussion with my husband. I've worked as a digital artist and photographer, and for myself editing had one point: to make someone look like themselves. I agree with you... all this editing, and especially these apps, seem to push the idea that you aren't enough the way you are. You need to be perfect- smaller, thinner, paler, tanner, taller, shorter,... anything and everything but what you are. It even messes with my head sometimes, and I'm mostly ok with myself!
So keep doing what you're doing, Lex. You make important points, and hopefully people can hear that they're just right the way they are, without makeup, without plastic surgery, just the way they are.
Not makeup related BUT IS BEAUTY RELATED. I shaved off all my hair on NYE as a new year resolution so I can get my long curly hair back. I used to dye and bleach it allllll the time to the point it wouldn't get out of a ponytail anymore. I've been thinking about it for over 3 years and I finally did it. Honestly, I kinda feel more confident with my short hair than I did before. Just more proof that I don't need to hide behind something anymore :3
I've been on a journey toward self love and it is so incredibly hard with imagery and thoughts of "perfection" saturating my perception. Every day I come a little bit closer to loving myself which helps me love everyone else more fiercely. Ironically, focusing on other's well-being first only helps my journey along. Empathy, compassion and forgiveness have taken me so far with others and allowed me to feel the same things for myself. Remembering media is fake is hard and I can't imagine being a pre-teen or teen in this age, but when I allow myself to think about and engage with other people, it does get easier!
We love you Lex! Thank you for being YOU. 😊

Good for you, sweetie! This has been an increasing problem in our society for some time and I'm really sad to see it has bled over to TH-cam, as well. As an example, every time you see a mascara ad...the women have lashes that are 2" long. You darn well know that they are wearing falsies, yet people still buy in to the picture, the image, the idea of it. As far as I am concerned, it should be considered false advertising! Well, I just turned 48 yesterday and, in my years, I've seen massive changes; flaws used to be seen as what made you unique, an individual, beautiful. Now they are seen as something to be hidden, disguised, be ashamed of. It kills me when I see all of these young men and women trying to live up to a certain standard of "beauty" (sorry, but thanks, Kardashians) when I wish, so damn wish, that they would look in the mirror and see the beauty before them. The one thing that gives me hope is that I've lived through the insecurity-over-everything stage and, as I've further aged, I have (what I call) grown into being a woman. While I love to do my makeup, review makeup on our channel (my daughter, whom turns Sweet 16 on Jan 11th, and I run a channel, BeautyDaughtMom), I now realize that I am beautiful JUST AS I AM. And if someone else comments that I'm fat, that I'm old, that I have flaws...I. DON' T. CARE. Why? Because, I love myself just the damn way I am. If I could affect one thing in this world it would be to show young men and women exactly how I feel now compared to when I was younger - so they would know that all THIS...doesn't really matter. It's growing into your confidence, your body, your image, and loving who you are that really matters. And FYI, I don't use filters. What you see is what I am. =) Thank you so much, sweetie, for covering this topic; another of the reasons I am so happy that my daughter sees you as her role model (she wants to train to become a FxMUA), along with her Mum, of course. =) Have a beautiful day and, to everyone...love who you are. The saying is oh so true - how can you expect someone else to love you, to respect you, if you don't do the same of yourself FIRST. Much love, Shelbie =) (BeautyDaughtMom) xo
I'd rather focus on how good my skin looks in person, rather than how it looks in photos. Right now though my foundation is looking like shit in pics and life so I gotta fix something
Meeting you and your mom at vidcon this year was a real pleasure and it was so awesome to see you in person! You give off a very real and present vibe and it's lovely to hear you say this. Good job lady!
Aww, thank you so much!!
Madeyewlook of course! Hope to see you again this year!
I love you! thank you so much for this video. I worry so much for these young people I see online who are so unhappy with the way they look, and strive to look like other people who are almost ALWAYS heavily filtered. I hope more young people come to your channel, and look up to you like I do, in all your natural beauty!
I needed this so bad. I've been struggling with how I look for years, even when I was young. ever since I was in 7th grade I've been wearing a ton of makeup because I want to look like someone else. like you said, I see other people I want to be in the mirror whenever I look, and I have cried over my appearance many times. however, I've been growing more comfortable in my own skin and I haven't cared as much what people think of me, because if I'm ok with how I look, I don't care if they aren't. Thank you lex
I like these lex talks of yours. I always feel better afterwards.
Agreed! People are always so shocked when I tell them I'm not interested in having any social media, and this is why! It at all felt like a lie to me, and I'm SO much better without it.
I saw a girl at Christmas I know from way back. We have been friends on Facebook and I would see her pics and was amazed at how great her skin looked. I saw her in person and she had the same amount of blemishes and lines as me. I thought to myself "what's the point, she's beautiful anyway".
Besides the Instagram filters I just don't get it either. Too much work and too weird to explain in person lol.
Great video 👌
This video is just another example of why I look up to you. Such an inspiration Lex. Keep being you.
I can not agree more with you. I'm constantly feeling that my face is not attractive. if I don't wear my cover up, literally everyone tells me I look sick/angry/red. it really gets to me. but I'm sick of wearing makeup to please others on how I should look. makeup dries out my face and it's expensive. I can't help my red face. I get what you're saying...my face, his face, and anyone's face is not the problem. it's our eyes that need to get rid of the filter on them. tomorrow I'm not even gonna bother with the cover up. I'm sick of hiding. thankyou Lex
This video came at a perfect time. I just filmed my first face on camera video and I had so much fun, but then I was all, I don't look air brushed, my lighting is bad, I have two chins, I'm terrible at editing, my hair is a mess, THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT ME! I have to take a step back and remember I'm doing this for fun and I want to be me. I'm not pretending to be some perfectly polished person. You're the best!
Oh thank the lord somebody said it!!!! I've been preaching this for forever! As a person who has had and probs will continue to have self-image issues, I always want to encourage to see themselves the I see them and the way I wish to see myself! It's crazy how a society so "welcoming" of change cannot accept the simple fact that people, in particular teenagers, have acne, blemishes, and redness.... mind blowing, I know
So thank you Lex, you have put into words the frustration of teens everywhere, love you and your work! Please don't ever stop x
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I think its so important for people to know this, because seeing all the filtered people on social medias, sometimes they're so well done its hard to tell its even filtered. So when young girls, like you said, are starting to go through puberty and get acne all over their faces, it can feel like that's not a normal thing, BUT IT IS. I'm just started to get less acne on my face, and im 17. A lot of my friends stopped getting pimples years ago, and seeing all the pictures everywhere of girls who look my age with perfect skin made me feel so self conscious. So every day i would cake on the makeup. Now ive started wearing makeup less often to school and being more comfortable in who i am. Makeup or not, filter or not, i think everyone should strive to feel comfortable in their own skin, and by choosing to use filters less often, I think it is a very possible future we can have.
I only use filters on my instgram pictures but I'm slowly using the filters less. I have always wished I was skinny and beautiful but I know that will never happen to Me. I'm trying my best to be more self positive about myself and I'm trying my best to love my self for who I truly am but it's so hard
thank you so much for this. I have psoriasis all over my face and body and I have been stressing a lot lately about others seeing it at prom. this definitely helped me in a very positive way.
You are such an amazing person. I worked a school a few years back and I've seen so many young kids worrying about these things. It's so hard to build up someone's confidence when something is always breaking it down.
I'm so glad you're using your platform to talk about this topic, it needs to happen more often!! I'm 16 and struggle with this whole concept pretty often. When a product doesn't look the same on screen as it does on my face, I often get overcome with disappointment and bad thoughts towards myself. it's hard to cope with the twisted realities and is probably one of the biggest reasons I struggle with self esteem. thank you again for talking about this, you have some of the best content out there x
Thank you! First we had to live up to images on TV and magazines. Who would have thought those same girls who grew up with this impossible & unattainable standards of beauty (because it isn't real life) would get sucked into continuing that stereotype! It is great for the companies making millions off the younger girls and even us who know better 😳. Can you imagine how much $ they are saving in advertising just by using popular TH-camrs? Ever seen a commercial for Morphe? Sorry, off topic. 😂 I saw an ad for GlamGlow's new firming mask - I commented - what is she (the model in the ad) like 14 years old? I believe in prevention, too, but probably 90% is sun damage and genetics! Get some sunscreen! Most things that penetrate the skin (make a real difference, not visibly reduce the appearance of...) must be FDA approved, like Retin A. I said most. Appreciate you making this video! Getting off my soap box. Must have hit a nerve. 🤔👍🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
I am honestly thankful you made this because I've been noticing it and I've been pretty upset because of the way people have been acting about how people should naturally look good with smooth skin like no that's not how it works take your judgmental butt and get out if my life
Thank you. This needs to be said over and over again until it is ingrained in our brains, just like these images we see in the media. The entire internet is one big psychological game (or experiment, depending on how you look at it) and it has made people lose touch with reality. It's actually quite disturbing if you think about it. There are good parts of the internet, but there are bad side effects. Anyway, I'm glad to see you say this 😊
This video hits this topic on the nail. I wish that everyone would be able to hear this message because so many people NEED to hear it. Amazing video through and through. Absolutely love you and everything you do, Lex! Keep up the amazing work ❤️
YES!! Thank God someone has finally said this, I've been doing TH-cam for two years without makeup. Although I don't the most subs in the world, I'm happy with the ones I have. I don't like filters, I'm not too good with makeup and have ok-ish skin. This makes me so happy, and glad that someone else has noticed this and decided to talk about it.
this video is so important for all people, but especially as a content creator (or aspiring), its extra powerful. i set aside days i wear a ton of makeup for filming, even though my face is almost cropped out anyways! and on the occasion i do a vid without makeup, i apologise for not wearing it. im not a makeup channel, but i simply feel pressured to wear it if i ever want any sort of success. thank you for your message, lex, i really hope it meets more people.
This is such a great video... a young girl I know(cousins,cousin) looks identical to you... legit one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen... she's young(18),and super depressed and thinks she's ugly and I just can't comprehend it... But it's seeing all the filtered videos/pictures that do this to the young teens/preteens out there... makes me sad... I pray my sons do ever feel down about themselves.. because they are gorgeous... inside and out. I pride myself on teaching them that... everyone always tells them how cute they are... so I always say "people tell you that because you are a sweet boy,the second that changes and if you ever become mean and nasty.. you will become ugly... they go hand and hand... I'm going to sending her this video... hopefully it helps her...
i love how honest and up front you are. your right, the way we look at things have changed so much because of social media. i will always watch your videos lex
It's refreshing that you feel like this. Younger generation needs someone like you who knows their way around makeup to say this.
This video is everything! And its not just about looks, people are losing touch with reality in regards to everything! The nastiness I have seen towards strangers is unbelievable
i agree with this, the "normal" look of what we are suppose to look like has been blurred/photoshopped/ect. im guilty of being self conscious about my appearance but ive overcame that and am now comfortable being me. Thank you for being honest and true to yourself, also love your work. Still trying to convince my man to get me your makeup brushes!
this is why I love you!! there should be more people like you in this world. people who are not afraid to be who they are and love themselves. you are an inspiration.
I work in a shall-remain-unnamed makeup retailer and I get soooooo many girls/young women/even older women coming in with skin + makeup complaints that I myself cannot see. A woman will demand a product for her large pores but I'm like WHAT PORES LITERALLY W H A T P O R E S. I truly cannot see what they are so distressed about most of the time. We see photos online of women with perfect (heavily edited) skin and we think, WTF, my skin doesn't look like that!!! Gotta buy stuff so that it does. :/
Thanks for this vid, not enough youtubers are willing to be this honest
I really appreciate people like you on social media who have a voice and will use it for honesty and with a caring intention. Thank you.
I recently got a new phone and the camera COMES with a face slimmer and a feature that makes your eyes bigger..so freaking weird. If I hit max on both features I look like an alien..beauty at its finest
I can't even begin to express how much I love this video. You're awesome!
Preach it, Lex! I'm glad there's a beauty TH-camr out there willing to say/do this stuff. Thanks, Lex.
(PS. Can't wait for new videos!)
I love this so much. I needed this :) thank you
It's so nice how you're always looking out for us and wanting to encourage us in every way. There's not a lot of that on here so it's refreshing :)
i love that you make videos like this and are always trying to send a positive message to everyone. youre always tryin to let people know that being different is the "cool" thing to do. people are awesome when they are in love with who they are... not what people think they are.
Thank you so much, like seriously. Over the past few months, and even the past year, I've been having a lot of trouble seeing my face as my own or even recognzing the bumb ridden face I have without makeup. Personally, I also use mild correctors for like a pimple, which I see as ok, but I've never been even close to posting a photo bare faced. I had a huge smile all throught this video and it truley made my night to hear these things from someone I admire. I'm also an aspiring makup/sfx artist and would LOVE to do youtube in the near future but am terrified of showing my face naked. Hopefully over time I'll be able to own my face and just do it! Thanks again Lex
that's so beautiful💕 i feel like nowadays there are less and less people, on youtube or anywhere, who encourage you to be or do what you want. it's getting to the point where we're all afraid to go out there. i'm really proud that you made this video to help some out there, you are so lovely❤️
Thank you so much for this video Lex! I see people on the Internet that you can tell photoshop pee themselves because you will see them in real life and they don't look like what you saw. To me, it's like a big lie to their viewers. I have friends on instagram that, I'm guessing, photoshop themselves. Sometimes they will add color correctness and change their eye color. It makes me sad that they think they need to change themselves to look good on the Internet. But really all these people are beautiful in their own ways and to see them change themselves to look "better" baffles me. Because like you said Lex, in you Instagram Zombie video, "why be [Insert person] if you can be you?" I hope some of these people see this video and see that they are amazing, and they don't need to change for anyone or anything.
I agree, Photoshop shouldn't be used to "fake looks". I am a graphic designer and use many of the techniques for ads and Photoshop. However, when I use PS, intensively, it's normally in a painting-type fantasy image where everything is obviously PS'ed (including the terrain). Ever tool has a purpose and some are using it as a crutch. I've ran into some models who will not work with me if they do NOT have a MUA and/or filtering done....very odd to me as a designer and photographer
Thank you for this! I remember being younger/naive and starting out with makeup and always being so frustrated with myself because my skin never looked as smooth or poreless as all the mua's I looked up to. Now I know it's impossible to achieve that in real life because it's photoshop. Lots of young girls need to realize this
Lex you are an absolute inspiration and I love you so much. your makeup videos are really what inspired me to start really getting into makeup and now I want to be a mua. thank you for being so unapologetically you.
Yes. Lex, you are an inspiration! I love your tenacity and your fearless approach toward speaking out for what you believe in and hold dear!
yes. hunny. preach it. God this is deeply triggering, in that I have experienced it, even as a dude. right now, I look at my own face and I see my too-short chin and my round cheeks, -sigh- scarring under the chin from shaving, dark circles, bulging eyes, etc. I could go on for hours about the things on my face and body that I wish would vanish or wish I could change. makeup allows me to temporarily be the version of myself I want to be that day. costumes help. but if I don't have love underneath it, for every weird fold on my body and every eyebrow hair, and every drop of melanin in my skin, I'll never be happy. Lex, thank you for keeping it all the way real about this. I appreciate it. let them youngins know.
I love everything about you and what was said in this video. I think it was spot on tbh. I see hundreds of faces daily of those from social media who heavily alter their faces using filters or Photoshop. I have been a subscriber for a year or two and watch almost every single video and love all the looks you create and the wisdom you spread. I'm glad you understand it and promote happiness of yourself above all else. You use your platform in a great way. YOU are who the upcoming generations need to look up to. I hope that one day I can meet you because you are incredibly personable and understanding.
Wonderful advice! !
You are a beautiful person as everyone can tell.
Thank you for being encouraging to some who may really really need to hear that they are just fine the way they are!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for this. I've personally struggles with body image and body dysmorphia and accepting myself and I love your videos and I guess just hearing this from a stranger helped if that makes sense. So thank you
you have totally inspired me, and when I went to college the only thing that really helped me relax is doing some of your tutorials. I because known as 'the halloween chick' in the dorm, and I have decided to bring that to social media to express myself. Thank you so much!
I love the message of this video band I love your positivity and energy. I also live for your hand gestures and the way you express yourself when you talk, especially the shoulder rolls 😂
Literally one of my favorite videos on the internet. Such real, much truths. 🖤💜
when beauty gurus did tutorials back then they did it off their webcam no filter. it does bother me a lot how much TH-cam has changed and wants to show us the filtered things. WE LOVED TH-cam BACK THEN BECAUSE IT WAS REAL AND MADE US BELIEVE HOW POSSIBLE IT IS TO BE CREATIVE WITHOUT NEEDING A PRODUCTION COMPANY!!!
I used to filter the heck out of photos when I was like 15 (23 now) just to see what I could do with them for fun but now that I see filters literally everywhere on the internet I try not to use them unless you know its the fun cute animal ones lol anyway great message Lex
This is really what I needed to hear.. Thank you, Lex!!
It's really not just the TH-camrs. It's them being taught and believing that they are to appear a certain way to appeal to their audiences. Which they're audience always reassures with "You look better natural!" But then if the youtuber is to not use these 'beauty' tools it's the whole opposite. A mess; really.
honestly I love you so much lex! you speak the truth and continue to knock down barriers. I look up to you for everything. thank you for putting this out there. I for one who doesn't wear that much makeup took me a long time to look in the mirror and say wow I'm beautiful but I now I know I am and I'm truly confident in myself. thank you for being you! much love!
Thank you for putting this into words and showing people that scars and imperfections are okay!
This. Thank you so much for posting this. It is so much appreciated.
You express your thoughts in such an intelligent way and so genuinely that I truly am inspired by your words. Thank you for this! This is the boost of confidence that I needed!
Not only are you creative, talented, beautiful, etc. You're also incredibly intelligent and excellent with words. A lot of the things you say are things I feel but can't articulate, and then you say 'em and I'm like "hey, that's the thing I agree with." That's a skill that I'm sure transcends your TH-cam life and makeup skills, but I'm so glad people like you have the reach and motivation to get valuable messages like this out to those who need to hear it. Thanks for doing what you do. :D
Finally someone who tells there truth about all the "flawless" pic and videos . I think the people sometimes forget they can't wear a filter in rl. Sadly it will never stop because there are to many self conscious people out there not knowing they are even prettier with their scars and acne and all the other things.
Oh and by the way, your makeup skills are amazing but you're also such great inspiration to me . I love you 🔥🔥🔥 you make me wanna go out with no makeup on❤️
This video came at a perfect time for me. I am normally confident about myself & my appearance, and feel strongly about loving yourself no matter what. However, today I had a point of uncertainty & found myself wanting to look like someone else and kind of hating on myself, so seeing this video really helped me get back to appreciating what I have & I wanted to thank you for that. The fact that your videos are more than just incredible body paint & makeup tutorials is a breath of fresh air in this over filtered, under connected world of today.
I love this message. It isn't repeated enough these days. I hope that it dissipates as time goes on
Lex! You are so amazing! Thank you for making this video. There are so many issues with living in a "filtered world". I see it even in my cute little 5-year old from what she hears from her friends at school. I tell her she is beautiful just the way she is & she smiles & says "I know Mommy". I try so hard to protect my kids but it can be hard. Thank you again for making this!
This makes me so happy ! & it was needed right on time to send to my best friend who compares her skin to everyone on instagram who has this "flawless smooth skin" when they really wash out their fave with these lights they have. like shes beautiful and it makes me upset to see comparison get to her everytime to she goes online so thanks for posting this vid !
This is why I love you so much. You're such a good rule model and inspiration for so many people. Keep being awesome!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I know so many people who need to hear this. You are such and inspiration to me. You make your videos feel personal and not just for show. You're real and I respect that. Thanks again.
Is it just me or was Lexi's speech was so heart moving. I love you Lex!!! ❤️️
I whole heartedly agree. What's worse than teenage and younger (under 30) adult acne is older adule (over 30) pre-menopause cystic acne. The older I get the worse my cystic acne is getting. :/
I watched a video from Life Noggin today about how rare a single person's existence really is. It opened up my eyes and made me realize just how special and unique each and every one of us are, which is crazy!
Thank you Lex this is so inspirational! A great way to start 2017! Love you!
This is a beautiful video that needs more recognition because I can actually relate with what you're saying.I struggle with accepting my body constantly.Like somedays I feel confident and happy but somedays I feel the total opposite.I just wish I was more comfortable with myself but I find it so hard.I just hope that someday, hopefully very soon, I can learn to love my body as it is.
Thank you so much for this video. I have had acne for 13 years now I'm 23 years old now. I get acne on my face and back. I have acne scars that haven't faded specially on my back. I am embarrassed to wear muscle shirts, strapless shirts, and bathing suits. Our society is so messed up. People who have small lips want lip injections just because they "think" that's beautiful. Or breast implants etc. such a shame :/
Great message Lex! I'm usually quiet but I just had to comment how beautiful you are, inside and out. I will forever be a subscriber of yours as long as you're on TH-cam. You're so down to earth and sometimes that's hard to come by these days. Thank you ♡
Thank you for posting this. This is so encouraging to me as well as I know so many others. Thank you for using your influence for good and helping the younger generation realize that they need to love themselves more.
Wow I needed to hear this today! I wore a new makeup look that I loved but I knew it was "different" than the "normal" way people do their makeup... so I felt insecure when I was expecting to feel more like myself. But that's who I am and who I wanted to portray myself as. Thanks for the encouragement! I'm gonna do the same makeup tomorrow and feel totally glam :D You're wonderful and your honesty is inspiring and helping so many people.
