Just take a few extra seconds and watch how much more amazing you make-up will look, how long it will last, and how many compliments you'll get! Flawless faces ahoy!!!
Huge hugs and see you tomorrow on my bloggy: www.kandeej.com
DISCLAIMER: I used my own face. I've never had botox- if I had you wouldn't not see the amazing tricks I do with my forehead and eyebrows! bwaaa ha ha ha
I spent way more than I thought buying drugstore options at the drugstore. ha ha ha
No one paid me, but it sure would be nice if they did, to make this video! ha ha ha ha
I'm sorry it took me so long to re-make this video, that old one is so bad! You can hardly see what I'm doing! ha ha ha
Hi Kandee, if you see this I want to THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART! My 4yr old fell in love with you & your Cruella a while back, & we've had the most nightmarish year imaginable, but your energy & attitude really made things go away for a video! I love love makeup, but things have been so disturbing it's difficult to concentrate to watch anything, but you are like this breath of fresh air, like seeing a beautiful Caribbean Island suddenly like this reprieve from hellish worry, I know you don't have time to read this, I just had to THANK YOU for helping us through this past year, we can always count on your bright & beautiful self to make us feel better, WE LOVE YOU! !
I love how you offer a drugstore brand option as well as the pro. Thank you from those of us who can't afford boutique make-up! That's why you're #1, babe! XO
I find you really comforting, sometimes I just put your videos on while I'm doing stuff cause it makes me happy :)
You're just awesome. Whenever I'm just blah...I watch your videos as a pick me up, and then it gets me inspired to do my makeup. Thanks for being such a positive person and so down to earth. One single mama to another!
This is by far MY FAVORITE FOUNDATION VIDEO on youtube! Kandee you are truely a legend!
I love how you are a makeup artist who isnt anti drugstore makeup!
Kandee, your personality is just wonderful. It's lovely to see someone so passionate about what they do and so willing to share their knowledge with the world. I absolutely adore people like you 💖 Keep up the beautiful work, please!! 😊
just watched this video from way back and you still are my favorite to watch not only do you have fabulous tips but your positive attitude beautiful personality shine thru...2013 all the way till now in 2016!!! You make me smile!!
Denise Lovegrove I noticed she puckers her lips more while she puts her makeup on now 💄 lol
Her voice isn't annoying! She's amazing and she's just trying to help people. Love you kandee(:
you make my day Kandee, I love your videos! You make everything easy to follow even though you do this everyday and it's probably like falling off a log for you, you really bring it back to basics for us newbies, thanks for all your great advice!
This is the best video tutorial I've seen for a flawless foundation. Thanks so much for sharing your tips!
Did anyone notice that about 3:20 (notice how I said AROUND, I'm not totally sure) it said "Title Text Goes Here" instead of an actual direction? I'm not hating I love your videos ♥
Haha oh yeah😂 (btw its 3:07❤️)
I love your energy!!
Oh and I love that you showed higher end and drugstore options so viewers can see the difference, thank you I appreciate you miss kandee oxox
Your good humour and enthusiasm is soooo infectious!! I've a list made out here of all the products I need to buy now (all the drug store ones!!) Great tutorial, thanks xx
I looovvveee it!can u please,
Please , please do a video about "7 steps to a flawless skin for oily skin" please
Why can't I do this? I just can't put foundation on my face without it looking horrible.. I have humongous pores and every time I try, it just doesn't look right...and I have a feeling I'm suffocating..
+Happy Goat Same here. My pores are just naturally big, so putting on makeup is a challenge because it jut looks caked on and gross. =(
Glad I'm not the only one! I keep trying though! 😊
try using a Pore filling primer such as nyx Pore filler it's AMAZING
Thank you! I will try it! 😊
+Happy Goat Ur welcome sweetie
Could you do an Amy Lee look please?
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have come to find that not only have I applied my make up incorrectly but as I have gotten older it looks worse. :( I have for months looked for help to make my 30 something skin look better and finally I have found you. Thank you for posting these videos and please do not stop. Some of us gals need all the help we can get!
I really love how you have options instead of just high end brands, you also give drugstore products.
Freckles are not a blemish. I was born with mine. They're a gathering of melanin, unlike a pimples which is a puss clogged pore.
KenzieSings143 same it gives me personality and kandee has freckels and i think they are pretty
+KenzieSings143 Freckles rocks! ^_^ I wish mine didn't fade during winter..
Papules do not contain puss.
KenzieSings143 I was complaining of my freckles once when I was about 12, and my friends Dad told me " That's where the sun kissed you".....my friend had freckles everywhere (I liked hers, lol), and her name was Kristie Phillips, she can be found on YT she won the American Cup, on the cover of Sports Illustrated, on Johnny Carson, in a movie called Spitfire, & later was a stunt woman, & owns a gym in NY. She does a move called the Phillips that's worth watching any beam video on YT. Sorry for getting off topic, I'm proud of her and I miss her family & her Dad I grew up with them. Freckles are where the sun kissed you, they're beautiful and so are you!!
Is there another BB drug store cream you recommend other than L'Oreal? (They still test on animals and I prefer to avoid any company that does) CoverGirl also still tests on animals, so are there any others you know of that doesn't test on animals that you like/recommend? Thanks! :)
Elf does not test on animals! They're also very reasonably priced. You can find elf at Target. Sometimes Walmart, although Target has more products.
Thanks for your help Carly! Sadly, I am in Canada and we don't get Elf at our new Target stores. :( When we got Targets stores here last year I was all over that going there for Elf to find out we don't have the great stuff U.S. Targets have (which really makes Targets here totally pointless!). Maybe I will try to find somewhere online. Elf online doesn't ship to Canada either. lol
mustlovedogs4ever1 they have E.L.F. products at superstore. ive lived in several provinces and its the only place I consistently find it, great Canadian and altlantic superstores
:0 no way Sara! That's awesome!!!! I will totally check that out, thanks!!!! Thanks too GoodGirlGoneChic I will check that out also!! :)
Tarte, NYX & Physicians Formula DO NOT test on animals. I use these products along with E.L.F.
how do you pick the right colors for your skin? It's so hard to find the right colors for me
WonderMom when choosing a foundation, a quick way to choose the right shade is to swatch it against your neck, and if it matches without being rubbed in (any foundation will match after being rubbed in!), then it's match.
hey kandee!
you are SOOO RIGHT about how quick beauty school is! i graduate early august! and i cannot believe how fast it went by! when i wrote you the first comment i was so unsure about it i was ready to quit! but look at it!!! ahhhhh thank you for the support!!!
Amazing! You have no idea how much you've helped me overcome a problem I've been dealing with all my life
I heard that "mature" women like me (at 62) should NOT use highlighter. Is that true? I don't have many wrinkles, in fact people ask where my wrinkles ARE! I LOVE this video! I had NO idea what to do with all this stuff I bought!!
Girl, wear what you want. You're flawless no matter what.
if you've got fairly smooth skin you will be fine
kandee was so ahead of her time back then lol
i love her accent thingy (the way she talks..whatever) its amazing
I've been a fan of yours for awhile and I never hear you talk about your husband.. Watching you makes me think how much of a kind hearted person you really are.. I want to see a pic of your husband and hear you talk about him..hope this doesn't freak you out but when you really like someone you really want to know more about them.. And your one of my top Favorites!!!
Kandee you are so inspiring!!!!!! I just lost my job and I am thinking of going to cosmetology school instead of jumping into another dead end job. I am hoping you had some advice for me as a first year cosmetology student. Who everything she knows is from you!
Thank you Kandee!
Mandy
Lol I like the random "Title Text Goes Here" in the video xD
I cant belive im saying this but the drug store side looks better
better without makeup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good thing shes not wearing the makeup for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh im glad your opinion matters in the least. Keep it up Kandee
I'm a newbie in make-up, and I like a natural look, yet I want a glow, and you totally helped me with that! Thank you! :)
Now I can go out without having to add eyeliner all the time!
Kandee, having you do my makeup some day has been added to my bucket list you are absolutely amazing!
Loved the video, hated the"crazy dark" comment. When you put yourself out there I'm sure it's annoying and frustrating to be parsed to death, however, be careful not to describe people's coloring as "crazy" (negatively) just because it's different from yours. It's offensive!
Why do the dark colors have to be "crazy?" Kind of offended me lol
You probably didn't mean it the way it sounded
she had an explanation written the next second she said that
I'm sure she meant something like a lighter complexion person would look crazy with a deeper toned foundation on
Why is it so offensive? Lmao
Noticing these days on YT comments when people don't like something it's referred to as "offensive". Odd
I LOVE how positive and bubbly you are :) Also your videos are more in depth and informative then others which i love
I LOVE the comparisons being used at the same time especially drugstore products that we can't try before purchasing!!!
Kandee! I just watched your video you made in 2011 on the truth about you and I couldn't comment it. I don't know if you are facing hurtful comments and bad press anymore but I wanted to write to you to say that the video made me cry so much. You are my favourite youtube guru/person and I don't understand how anyone can ever be hurtful and spiteful to such a loving, beautiful and really inspirational person. Every video I watch of you makes me so happy and fills me with positivity especially when I was battling with depression. I hope you know how much I love you and if I could ever meet you I would hug you so much because you are such a soldier yet you stay so so positive. If I had you in my life it would be such a blessing, but I know that at least if I never get to meet you now, I will see you in heaven. Dont ever change xxxxxxxxx
Hey kande, I just wanted to say that I have been watching your videos for a while now, let me just say that your amazing, cute and a really fun spirit, great to watch on a Monday morning!
Deffinately one of my new favorite beauty channels.
Kandee, u're a star!! i can never do ur technique, u throw everything on (with high speed) and it works amazing, sharliah try to do the same and ended up with a mess, lol,,, pls dont stop making video, i love watching allllllllll of them big kiss from my heart to yours!!!
I'm dark skinned. Once, a friend did my makeup using her foundation for fair skin...i looked crazy light (i.e. totally mismatched).
I've been watching Kandee for years, and I know she doesn't mean it in a negative way.
The world is a much better place when we all try to assume the best in one another.
Thanks for having the courage to speak what other people may have thought. Hopefully, I've helped nip the thought at the bud :P
Kandee you were and still are the number one beauty influencer in the internet
Kandee please do more of these! I miss these. I love to see all the steps you do.
It's obvious that you are such a nice, sweet, happy person. Don't very change!! It's so refreshing! Oxox
Thank you for going through the trouble of doing this video. I have watched it several times and got many good hints and tips from it. Love all of your videos - especially the positive messages at the end.
This is the best flawless face video I've seen. Love your tutorials! Thank you!
Your cheekbones omg. even without any contouring they're so amazingggggggggg.
Omg I'm addicted to your channel Kandee!! Love the tips! You look beautiful with and without make up!
thank you so much beautiful!!!! I'm sending you so much love and hugs! Thank you for brightening my day!!!
I love your attitude,.looking at make-up as a creative art a visual art,it does magic.I go through the whole routine almost every day to cheat on my body to feel good and not to think of pain. I use make up as a" look good feel better" tool.I don't have any life treating illness but what I call "mechanical"problems which cause me pain . My motto is as long as I am able to put on my eyeliner I am well. And yes my darling Kandee , you have created a very cheerful place cyber world. God bless you.
this is THE best foundation routine ever! I like the way you present the different steps :) great job kandee
You are so much fun to watch greats tips on concealer and highlighting, so many people don't expose how important it is when creating the perfect look!!! love love love!
greatest DIY ever!!! totally opened my eyes to makeup! i can't wait to put it on and try new things!!! totally easy to do too!! I just love ya!!
I like drugstore and higher end makeup. For my cheeks, I really love Cover Girl's Peach perfection. Really beautiful.The case has three different shades and makes your face look so pretty.
This is an outstanding video Kandee! I got "Play in Proper" when you first mentioned it and forgot how pretty it is...I'm pulling it out for spring...it is beautiful. The way you demonstrated drugstore vs. high-end was so thoughtful. It just goes to show anyone can look great with loose or tight purse strings... Can you do a full review on the La Mer powder please in you next News and Reviews? Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos, I'm watching you for a few years and you are STILL the same person, I love it how you explain your tutorials and tips w/ highend + drugstore products AND I love the way you talk to us - like FRIENDS, I really appreciate it. I'M GLAD I found you here, watching you and hearing you talk helps me a lot and I learned a lot makeup-skills from you, YOU'RE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!! be and stay yourself, everyone else is already taken :) LOTS OF LOVE FROM GERMANY
Wow Kandee you are so talented! I think you look great in the BB cream alone!
STOP WITH YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS!!! It was too many steps for you? NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO DO THEM ALL!!! Kandeejohnson, good job, thank you! Some of us really, really enjoy your videos, very helpful.
KANDEE! Yesterday I got my senior pictures taken and used your this video to do my own makeup and it looked amazing! Thank you so much!!
I stumbled upon you yesterday and I'm in love!!! Great tips for someone who's still getting the hang of makeup application
totally agree with you about the beauty blender--it is my favorite tool and has changed the way i look!
I love how I look after trying a drugstore version of this look and I am going to look SO awesome all dressed up for my role as daughter at my dads award ceremony
Hi Kandee! Your videos are all really helpful. Please make a tutorial about how to pick, try-on, or buy cosmetics from stores. Like how you will know if it'll be good for your skin.
wow, I miss your dark hair! you look absolutely amazing!!!
Kandee ur awesome, I went and updated my makeup with your tips and I see a huge difference, flawless n beauty blender is wonderful looks like I have nothing on .. absolutely flawless. .
Wow!!!! You're so beautiful with and without make-up!!! I just love your honesty and your technique along with your warm, happy, positive personality! I'm definitely going to be buying the products that you used because they really work!!! I have a very light complexion with some hyper-pigmentation on my cheeks, and you just made me feel so great!!!! Thank you for showing what to use, and how to use it!!!! = )
Pretty sure Kandee's the only one who can make a 17 minute long video and I'll actually take the time to watch the whole thing.
hi kandee! i loved how the play it proper highlighter looked on you and i was so sad that i was discontinued, but then i was in this store, the cosmetics company outlet, and they have discontinued mac makeup and i found the highlighter! i loooove it! thanks for recommending it!
I have literally watched this video like 5 times! It is so helpful!
Thanks Kandee!
-Nella
I just followed you tutorial and wow! My face looks amazing! I was feeling down about makeup and not able to get the flawless face I had when I was younger. Thank you!
Please do updated foundation, contouring, and highlighting video!!!! Love youuuu 😘
I like to wake up by watching your videos! You have such a positive vibe and energy! :D
I like that you made a video about how to get a flawless foundation face but still promote doing your own style :)
This is maybe the 4th time I have watched this video! There are so many great tips!
Kandee is the sweetest person ever, I'm positive that she did not mean it in that way whatsoever.
this is the most helpful video i have watched on making my face look flawless.
I love that you use drugstore makeup and not all high end!!
press it on with a sponge and that might help too! IT can depend on your foundation too, if it's really oily, it's gonna soak up all that powder and turn it into cake! ha ha ha
Your energy just makes me happy. :) You seem like a beautiful person all around.
oops I totally left a part out. the foundations break me out or its way too matte. its just not a balance. its super frustrating and a total confidence killer. i just want to give up and stay home all day bc theres no point of trying if i cant find the balance between the two.. but thank you so much you have been a huge inspiration to me. i can only hope to give the confidence to young women like you do one day. xoxo
You are a breath of fresh air. I absolutely loved this video. I learned so much Thank you, Keep up the great work you are doin
KANDEE! You should do a video to show us how to determine what color foundation is best for our face. I feel like everytime I get it right, it's always too dark or too light. My face in the winter is a little white because I'm not outside as much, but in the summer I'm darn near hispanic looking. Help!!
Thanks Kandee, now I really want to practice on my skills! I kinda went all "I hate makeup!" for a while, but now I've gotten the courage back to try again ^_^
Hugs from
Denmark
I thought that was Ellie at the end!! She's going to look just like you when she's older :) beautiful as ever Kandee! Thank you thank you!
I LOVE how you show both pricey & affordable make up :D
Thanks for showing these tips it really helped me to do my bestfriends make-up for her wedding day. She looked awesome!!
Agypsyvampire you can use a foundation brush, or just a really good bb cream and your fingers. I use a bb cream because everything else makes my skin breakout. It gives me a light coverage, moisturizes, and perfects my pores!
Hey Kandee, i tried this yesterday and it really worked. My problems were contouring my nose and applying the light foundation under my eyes. How can i contour my nose? and how can i blend them all together perfectly?
Thanks.
thanks for this comment. She gave us a better response. I wear those "crazy dark colors" but I don't think that she meant it in a "bad" way. So glad that you commented though. It makes us all think before we say something:)
Love love love you're videos! I was wondering if you can do a video sometime about highlighters and illuminators? Like what they are, how to use them, and picking the right ones.
KANDEE!
On wednesday I have an interview for a place on a professional makeup artistry degree course! I take so much inspiration from you, thank you so so much!
I am going to document it all on my blog
I will be using the tips in your video to make sure my skin is perfect for my interview!!
xxx
Andddd this is why I love your vids! Gosh you're so talented! I want to try out the 2 foundations trick, lets see if i can pull it off haha. xx
Your just the bestest person ever....I love watching your videos they make me smile
I enjoy watching all your videos! They are very informative and I learn so much from them!!
I absolutely LOVE your accessories in this video. So fierce!
i bought a sponge applicator from SOHO, and i bought the beauty blender, and the sponge from soho worked just as amazing as the beauty blender. i was very suprised and i use both of them on and off :)
Just found your channel, I think today is my luckiest day! you are so amazing! going to watch all your videos!
