oh my god this makes you look like you own a beach house in malibu and spend your winters there just enjoying a stress free life while making steel cut oats every morning.... so basically im saying your base looks amazing
Soobin Chun Honestly… Why would you want to use 50 steps of make up to make it look like you don’t have make up on when you can do that by putting the correct foundation on and a blurring powder, Touch of blush the same things on your eyelid as you put on your face and then going to your shadows if you want shadow. A shadow that’s a shade darker than your skin gives your eye the Deppe it needs to look like no make up make up and you could even use two shades there, but don’t use any shimmer on your eyes because that is a giveaway. Tight lining and or close lining of the lid and the best mascara combo of benefits brown primer and they’re real mascara will definitely give you eyelashes but they will never clump together. This was my first try with the primer and mascara and then I went and bought thrive which I loved but it is way too clumpy for me now and I can’t wait to go back to benefit even know it takes meet twoProducts to get my eyelashes to look long but not clumpy. I have would be lashes and they are so visible when I wear this mascara and primer. I promise you you won’t be disappointed. My sister turned me onto it and her friend turned her onto it and her friend turned her onto it and so on.
@@ChrissyGrace2611 Because there is no reality in which, "putting the correct foundation on and a blurring powder" results in my face looking like I don't have makeup on, never mind the other steps you mention. So yeah, I'd love to see someone who has apparently put a lot more thought into the process share their methods, even if it takes 50 steps.
@@NuraM444 They use clear soap in their brows to set them. It looks beautiful. Search their channel name and soap brows and you'll see how they do it. They really are amazing makeup artists.
I’ve never seen your videos before because i mainly watch black women like myself or just lustrelux , but i am 2 minutes into your video and i literally love you . new subscriber. i already enjoy your personality so much
I had the same with alissa ashley, I thought it wouldn't make sense to watch her, because our skin tones are so far away. But I love her now and now I know we can watch anybody and it still "makes sense"
Miss Sam... I am now one of your subscribers because Stephanie Marie touted your wonderful skills on the reverse foundation! First let me say you have taught this 55-year-old aesthetician make up artist model a new trick! Secondly let me say to you this... I had to stop your video and cry because of how emotional you got about your skin and I’m still struggling to get through this. You are the era of my daughter she is 26. I would no more want to be in my 20s in this day and age with all the emphasis on Instagram beauty filter’s, fillers and plastic surgery. Precious Sam ..in my day I read vogue magazine‘s and I turned the picture is upside down so I could see where the make up artist had contoured and learn their tricks. I watched beautiful old movies with Hedy Lemar Audrey Hepburn Claudette Colbert. These glamorous beautiful icons. Sam you are one of those... you are a trendsetters and you have the opportunity to shed light for your generation by just being you. Sweetheart in 2 to three years it’s not gonna matter what’s growing on your chin... it’s what’s on the inside and that’s what I saw in your video ...a beautiful, intelligent, tender woman with braveness, transparency and truth in her make up bag. When your 55 all of the wisdom, knowledge and soul making that you have gone through in your 20s will be all the beauty that you need...💋💋🙏🏻💋 I love you sister
The reason that I like seeing your natural skin is that I think you’re so gorgeous, and you having breakouts doesn’t make me thing you are any less gorgeous. And yet when I would look at myself during a breakout I would think I am the ugliest person in the world. Seeing you and realizing how gorgeous I think you are no matter the status of your skin has helped me to realize my acne shouldn’t affect my opinion of myself either. So, seriously, thank you.
Have used this technique since 1992... glad to see it resurrected. Works best on dry skin tones since skin texture could be a concern with an overly matte or highlighted products.
On your point about women being expected to be naturally beautiful all the time... when I was in high school some guy told my best friend he liked her hair because it was so straight and she said is that a good thing? And he said yeah unless you woke up early to straighten it. I just remember being like ??? You like it unless she put effort into it? So if it’s not natural then its no longer beautiful? At that point I was like ok we can’t win (this was 10 years ago)
Yeah it’s so true.. I decided we will all eventually find someone out there that is going to love us for who we are no matter what. It just takes time 💛
Allie Barbera but in order for it to become easier for us to find someone who will love us for who we really are we should change the way we view beauty in society....
I understand this. The guy was thinking of the girl as he would be happy with her hair however it was. He wouldn't want her to feel she had to change to be pretty
I’ve never watched your videos before and it just showed up on my suggested videos. I just want to say THANK YOU for being so honest about how you felt with your skin and how most of the pictures/videos that we see have filters. It’s so comforting to hear other women struggle with the same insecurities and to let us know it’s okay to struggle with that. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this video
I'm always so jealous of people who say they're new subscribers or they've just found Sam...what I would give to be able to binge all of her videos for the first time again! Like when someone starts to read a book you've already finished and loved
I watch your channel time and time again, and I'm always so wowed by you. Your presence, authenticity, makeup applications, and honesty. Its so spot on and makes you such a joy to watch.
Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge have shown similar techniques before. Mostly with blush. It looks so subtle and natural! And same, my skin just gets terrible when I think it's gotten better
I just found your channel and I feel so blessed to have done so. Your skin concerns are something I can really relate to. It’s so refreshing to see influencers talking about things that actually influence me!
I’ve met her too at Imats a few years ago. She was so gracious and beautiful. I happened to have horrible swollen rashy dermatitis all around my eyes. I was mortified, and she treated me like I didn’t even look like an infected troll. I wanted to kiss her 😂 she’s that perfect buuuut I resisted the urge. I do have a beautiful picture of us together though 😊
I struggled with bad skin for literally a decade only recently it cleared up. And I don’t even have the words to explain what it feels like to have clear skin. People that never struggled with acne have not even the slightest idea of what emotion struggled your constantly under. I would not want to leave my house without makeup bc I just felt so disgusting, it was really bad. And now that my skin is finally ok, I feel, and have so much more sympathy for people that are struggling with acne. So you go girl!
People with naturally good skin don’t understand how amazing it is to leave the house with no base makeup and feel good. I’m still not over it and it’s been a couple of years since I really cleared up my skin and I still feel weird only applying brows/lashes/undereye concealer most mornings
Darya As someone who truggles with really bad eczema I know exactly what you mean. The eczema has cleared up on my face (still can't walk out the house with no makeup on) but it's still all over my arms, thighs and neck. I'm so jealous of people with clear skin. They don't have to go through multiple outfit changes just to ensure their neck and their arms are covered. Skin issues really do a number on your confidence levels because essentially your body is all you have. It's you. It represents who you are. It's the first thing people see. Idk. Never really had a lot of confidence since I've been struggling with eczema my whole life, but sometimes it would be nice to just look at myself without completely hating myself.
I am mortified by my acne. I will not leave the house without base makeup on. I won't even take the dog for a walk without makeup. And I still feel horrible about my face after putting makeup on. I have had acne from age 11 to now (I'm 30) I have never had a clear skin break and I would die to just have clear skin
I appreciate your honesty about your skin. I like to pretend my skin doesn’t bother me so hearing you say you could cry made me choke up a little. I’ve been on spironolactone for months and it’s actually starting to work, so now when I break out it REALLY gets to me. Anyway, I just really appreciate everything about this video. Instantly hit the notification bell. Haha thank you.
Heads up about spironolactone. A side effect is kidney stones and I know this first hand, so if you get some intense pains in your lower back or kidneys, know that it could be what it is! Hopefully it won't because it was a great medication for me until that happened! Good luck!
SelectiveMemories hey, thanks! I’ve had kidney stones before so I really hope that doesn’t happen. 😬😭 how long had you been taking it when you developed/felt the kidney stones?? Thank you!
@@cheryourglam I am not quite sure. It was back in 2000! I do know that I was so out of it in the hospital that I didn't hear the doctor telling me to stop taking them so I didn't and got a second round a few weeks later!
r u telling me the charlotte tilly hollywood filter ISN'T a foundation???? my bad, been slathering it all over my face for 6+ months & living my best life
jholmie Lots of people wear it as a foundation and I agree with you, it looks stunning as a light glowy base. You know how the internet can be though-very judgmental.
This is what we need. I have had acne for years and it has fluctuated wildly. I have a hard time not wearing any foundation or concealer out, and I have been extremely depressed at times when I felt less than because of my acne. I have kept myself from doing things and have gotten so upset over it. And while a still get upset today, I know that it is just a part of who I am and videos like these have helped me grow in confidence and become a better version of myself. I would rather have been through shit and been stronger and better for it than to have gone through nothing at all. So thank you for all that you do, it takes an unknown level of strength.
This look is STUNNING, and reminds me a lot of the types of applications Wayne Goss favors! I will be trying this method tomorrow for sure. Thanks for experimenting for us, Samantha.
The way you described how much blush and bronzer you put felt like you have been watching me do my makeup for the last few years. That's my exact problem which is why I was looking up a video and came across your channel! You are soooo down to earth which I love and even though this is an older video, it definitely helps still to this day! Since we are in quarantine, I have plenty of time to go and watch all of your videos now lol. Thanks for being genuine
So happy to see videos like this. There are so many "gurus" I enjoy to watch for entertainment, but not to learn makeup tips from because it is just so caked on. Tons of shape tape thickly drawn in massive triangles, baking the face with a ton of powder, obviously unnatural looking blinding highlight, sharply drawn on brows etc just doesn't do it for me. It seems like it is made to look good under the lights and on camera, but looks very full on in real life. I see a lot of young teenage girls who grow up learning makeup from TH-cam and so to them what they learn is "normal" is so different to what it was for me growing up. Most of the women I know (late 20's and older) want that "skin-like" makeup where it doesn't look so "makeupy". Your look is exactly the kind of makeup I want for myself.
I can’t remember the last time I watched a beauty TH-camr that didn’t have a filter when filming .. you can see everything and I am absolutely in love !!!! You are such an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ and you’re beautiful honestly your skin looks great even with some breakouts !!!!
I love this whole video! The realness, the natural makeup, the conversation! And on a real face .. no fillers! I can relate to this it applies to me bc you are real, so thank you for this whole video!
Sam, you’re jarringly beautiful. Clear or not, I think you’d stop me in my tracks if I saw you in person even totally bare faced. I also adore your humor and attitude, and you seem like a very thoughtful and intelligent woman as well. You’re a badass, lady. I want to tell you not to stress too much about your skin, but instead I’ll wish you luck in getting controlling it again for your own comfort.
I think seeing your natural skin texture is SO important as to seeing how a product ACTUALLY performs. If we cant even see how your skin looks and how a product applies on your skin, why should we believe anyone in what they are claiming? Love what you're talking about in this video and you are beautiful!
Your finished skin looks beautiful and effortless, good job! It’s all about layering the right amount and placement. I wish more beauty gurus actually taught about this.. I’ve noticed a change in the beauty industry , we’re seeing more and more variety , acceptance of flaws, raw and true looks. The beauty ‘standards’ have shifted immensely since i started my career...
I was always a tomboy, but even I wanted to look "pretty", "cute", etc. particularly during my VERY awkward adolescence. Then, as a young mom in my early 20's, make-up became almost a necessity to cover up the effects of sleepless nights and busy days. Time went on and as my kids were growing up, I entered a new phase of being a "good-looking mom", always in attendance at school functions, games, etc. My health took a crap when I was only 41, so bady that I wound up unable to work at all. I wound up being medically retired and fought a five-year battle to receive SSD, which FINALLY happened the summer of 2014. For a long time, I couldn't have cared less about makeup; I felt like a shlub and I looked like a shlub. Well, I'd always kept my nails nice, so I found myself getting more and more into nail "art", to the point I even began a TH-cam channel... But I never showed my face. Finally, I had a day, at age 51, where I'd gotten upset by some private messages and I did my first "face video". Oh, I did NOT like how I looked - AT **ALL**!!!!! So, that's how I got back to the makeup again. And today... I see this. Eureka! Along with some great tutorials about dealing with crepey, hooded eyes... Yeah, I think this is well-worth my time and effort to try. Thank you! Now, next question: what's your skincare routine? What are some of your more inexpensive products? (I'm on an über-tight budget!) 💖Love & Peace☮ ✝🎼Heidi R.💅👀
Hey Samantha, I love your videos, sorry I never comment. I just want you to know how pretty you are ! When you started talking about crying about your skin, my heart completely went out to you. I've cried so much about my acne over the years. It's so so hard. I don't think anyone who has never had to deal with it understands what it's like to wake up with multiple new zits on the daily, and have to apply concealer over so many bumps! If you gotta leave the house in a rush, forget about it. Or if push comes to shove, concealing the zits always takes importance over .. eating breakfast for example. Oh and the unwarranted advice from strangers all the time, like 'change your pillowcase' or 'don't touch your face with dirty hands'. OR the best - 'what are you eating?' Duh, I've tried all that! Changed pillowcase every two days, eaten vegan, gluten free, dairy free, whatever-free, haha none of it works. But the worst of all, is when you go to get a facial, or buy some new makeup or something relaxing as a treat, and you get the comment, 'wow, your skin is really... complicated.' Ok, I was trying to relax and feel good about myself for once, but thanks! Well, I just want you to know that you're great, doing all the right things, and I admire you so much. Your personality shines like hardly any other beauty youtuber out there. Keep up the amazing work. It just keeps getting better!
It's so refreshing to read this comment amidst the "have you tried this or that" and "you should/shouldn't do this or that" comments bombarding this section right now. It's annoying me for Sam, so I can only imagine how it affects her. I'm sure most of the comments are made with good intentions. But you verbalized so well how it can affect that person. I know many are newer to the channel so don't know as much about her journey... but ... arg I'll just say a couple more words, then hush: Unsolicited advice, man.
For about two years you’ve been my favorite TH-camr because you’re so informative, inventive, and genuine. You are beautiful inside and out and soooooooooo valued
Lia Longtime I love that someone said this because I’ve always seen such similarities between Sam and him, as far as how they don’t like to conform to popular beauty standards and practices. It’s so refreshing and I respect them so much more for it.
Randomly stumbled on this video and I’m dealing with my skin not being the best and not wanting to wear makeup or even do anything. Doing face mask after face mask and still nothing happening and this video just helped me to open my eyes and truly see how pretty your true skin is 💕
Ok, mind blown...I did it. I don't have breakouts anymore, but I suffered terribly and now have the battle scars of an old lady to prove it. My skin is terribly scarred and textured and this technique worked! Calling my daughter now, whos having acne problems too. Thanks!! ~Angie~
I love how all Sam's videos talk about subscriber recommendations or like different conversations with subscribers that show what a true community this is
THIS is the prettiest most natural looking makeup that doesn't look like makeup but just really beautiful skin and natural shading! Also Stephanie Marie did it on her channel after watching you and mentioned you and how much she loved what you did! She said to tell you thank you! SO PRETTY!
You're beautiful the way you are, and I love that you're REAL about your skin. I have very sensitive skin, and have learned that my own skin issues are caused by allergies to certain makeup products/brands.
You should do a video with Shaelin! I am definitely going to try this technique! It looks so good on you! Thank you for sharing and I love your videos and humor 😂💗!
I have a drs appointment today to try and fix my acne and I'm 29- I've never had skin issues until now and I have been trying everything. I finally made the appointment when my grandma was like "oh wow why is your skin looking like that and breaking out so bad" as if I knew the answer, but you know it's bad when grandma makes the comment!
"I don't think she would take the responsibility of the potential ramifications of time travel lightly she would tread softly in the realm of seasons passed" - Excerpt from Samantha Ravndahl, 2018.
Well, I do remember seeing a comment referencing root rot, I believe was the technical term, and it being caused from over watering.. you might be onto something!
"Feature, not a flaw" is such a lovely way to put it, and it really struck a chord with me. I feel like that's how most people view each other, but it's something we have to be more mindful about when it comes to our own appearance. I want to work to implicate that mindset, especially as someone who also experiences fluctuations in my skin. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Yes, I was thinking that as well. But Wayne used powder underneath foundation for staying power etc. Here she is using all cream products under foundation. Am I right?
Your skin looks so beautiful! This is so nice, I love a natural looking finish on my skin. Also, it's okay about your plant, it's v important to match your aesthetic to your mood, which is why I always have a dying plant in my house.
Spironalactone was a game changer for my cystic hormonal acne. GAME CHANGER! I cried and was embarrassed over my skin for years! Now I am the one who gets compliments!! So so worth it!!
Pixiwoo Sam is one of my favs to watch. Her looks are always so stunning and I agree with her on most of the things - about instagram makeup, contour, coverage etc.
Thank god the IG makeup style is on the way out. Good on those who like it and wish to use the style to express themselves. I am glad that enhanced natural style is being embraced and not discouraged
I feel weird because I just can‘t relate to these problems at all.. I am 20 and grew up in Germany and neither me nor anyone around me ever experienced what people are describing here. If a guy is interested in a girl, he always likes the way she looks, and it doesn‘t matter if she put in a lot of time and effort that day or not, no one really judges that here..
And also we feel like we need to be cake faced to be pretty and then men say "why do you even wear makeup?" And then they post a picture of what they consider "natural" and it's no where fucking near natural. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Societal standards are actual bullshit these days. I absolutely hate it because I'm raising a little girl in a world that tells her shes not beautiful unless shes 5'10", super slender, big breasted with a plump ass with long legs and with perfect skin and makeup. How in the hell do we convince our little girls that beauty is unique to every individual when everything is photoshopped and face tuned
acne and skin is such a sensitive topic for me as well but i got to a much better place and i can go outside with no make up at all and showing all my red scars that i have! i’m so happy that i got over the “i can’t go outside without covering up my skin” mentality, you DON’T have to and in most cases people WON’T care, and i’m saying that as a person that knows the struggle! and btw your skin is really not bad, it’s just a few little red dots but not very noticeable! i know that often doesn’t help but sometimes it does help hearing that it’s not as bad as you think!
Hi +Cotton Tolly You are one of the sweetest, most genuine, makeup reviewers on TH-cam...I love that you watch Samantha R too! Happy Holidays, sweet girl!
@@CottonTollyxoxo You''re very welcome, although I didn't even scratch the surface...truth be told, your creativity and unique free spirit are exactly what the beauty community needs. A super cool beauty who isn't afraid to bring her unique talents to the table and isn't shallow or vapid. Your intro edits on the "Cotton Tolly" vid reminded me a little of old school Ministry videos... maybe even some "Death Squad" vibes with that Dodge Hellcat, but mainly I loved all the cool and unique looks you put together in your own fun unique way. This community needs more individuality, more focus on personality, I totally appreciate the way you and Samantha R both bring your own unique takes on beauty. Keep on being true to yourself, you totally rock, Cotton!
Omg. I just found you! I appreciate your honesty... it’s rare. And I know about acne, I’m “old” & suffered many years from it. The older you get, you realize what’s truly important. Pimples shmimples! Keep being you.. you are a rock star!!! 🥰🥰
SAM YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!!! With a full beat or bare face. You are a *BEAUTIFUL* human being, inside and out!!!! I am glad you found something that makes you feel better though, I know that's what really matters. (More than The opinion of a stranger, I mean,C'mon!😁) ❤❤ Thanks for sharing!!❤❤
My skin has been broken out for a month straight. Big, sore, red zits. I'm not joking when I say it makes me feel suicidal. Ridiculous, right? But it ruins my self esteem and takes away the relaxation and joy I usually get from applying my makeup. I hope we both clear up soon!
Girl! Same!! I actually went to the doctors about it because it is completely out of hand! Turns out I have PCOS. Anywho, not that you do, but go to the doctors, there may be an underlying issue causing the acne that can be treated. All the best! I truly know how you feel!
Christina D amen to this, also get annual blood labs done with your yearly checkup. I discovered I had a hypothyroid and never had a clue. It relates to so many things, caused skin issues, hair issues, tiredness and overall feeling of “meh” about life. Since being properly treated I’ve seen big improvements in my skin.
You’re beautiful don’t feel bad they will go! My grandma always said pure aloe vera can help any broken skin! I usually use aloe vera at night and my skin is always clear! Try it out if you haven’t yet
You are totally gorgeous! I know what it’s like to struggle with acne but honestly your skin imperfections don’t at all detract from how beautiful you are! I hope you realize that lots of love xx
I've been doing this for years because I thought you were supposed to put the creams first, then foundation (I use a powder foundation and cream bronzer/blush/highlight). Was I a trendsetter this whole time? Should I have been filming myself for years? Think of all my non-existent subscribers who could have been doing makeup this way. I'm sorry world.
I have the same issue with bronzer and blush application, I’m just compulsive about layering more on even though I don’t want a heavy look. This is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve applied my cream highlights this way, but never the whole face. To be honest, it’s probably a better technique for skin with acne (which I have) because then you don’t risk disrupting your base when applying products on top.
Girl!!!! I'm a makeup artist myself and I literally just went through this with my skin. I had a long stretch of awesome skin then a huge crash. It is devastating!!! I get really emotional about it too. Thanks for sharing and making us all feel more human!! I can't believe I haven't found your channel sooner!!❤
Your skin is beautiful. You notice your blemishes more than we do. BUT I know exactly what you are feeling. I used to be so depressed about my acne. I am NOT a Dr. BUT I had acne in the exact places you do. NOTHING worked topically and changing my diet only slightly helped. Look into taking a DIM supplement. I used one by Estroblock and took their Liver Detox too. The placement of your acne may very well be from hormones. When our estrogen gets too high it can cause acne in those exact places on our face. And it's mainly Xenoestrogens that mimic our estrogen and it comes from all sorts of things...BPA in plastic, pesticides in fruits and veggies, bovine growth hormones, phthalates in fragrance (glade plug ins, candles, perfume, etc) and even on store receipts. These fake estrogens make us estrogen dominant and cause acne mainly on chin, jaw, neck. After taking this supplement, my acne was gone in a couple weeks but after just a couple days, all the pimples were flattened. I wish I knew about DIM years ago instead of trying every acne product out there and hiding from everyone. Good luck!
Graceful Beauty thank you for sharing I have struggled with random hormonal breakouts for the last few years after a miscarriage and cutting out sugar helped but they still happen. I’ll check this out!!!
I have struggled with breakouts after the pregnancy but after taking Halo by Tati for about 2 months I haven't broke out at all. Not even while I was on my period look into that.
@@PsychicBellaLove So sorry to hear you had a miscarriage. Sending big hugs! I absolutely love Estroblock. I t truly has changed my life. Hope it works for you!
I first saw this technique ages ago on his channel. Love this idea. But never tried it, bcoz i always only use concealer no matter how subtle or dramatic my makeup look is. And Sam i use flawless filter as foundation all d time. Itz gorgeous.
Wayne Goss made a video about this technique years ago. I’m too oily-skinned to try all cream products. I bake my entire face in powder and still get oily within an hour 😅
@@lillypieisme my oil calmed down when I stopped using aggressive cleansers and 'over' moisturized my skin. I produced so much oil because my skin was extremely dehydrated. Just washing my face with cold water does the trick for me
Angie I’m glad you found something that works for you. I honestly just need dermatological care. I’ve had terrible acne since I was 9 years old 😩 Just can’t afford it though. I’ve tried anything and everything lol But thanks all for trying to help a sister out 💁🏽♀️
@@lillypieisme I feel you. I've had terrible acne prone/oily skin for years. I have a fantastic skin care routine with really good quality products, I eat healthy, I drink water, etc. But nothing helped until I saw a dermatologist and got prescription meds. Sometimes it just boils down to genetics and you can't change that unfortunately.
i feel yougirl, my skin has completely went from flawless to acne central. i’m super insecure so seeing you be open with no makeup on in videos is inspiring me to do so as well! you’re beautiful !!
I see my viewers beat me to letting you know I tried this out! 😂I've been watching your channel for some time now Sam and absolutely ADORE you. I love your raw honesty, your dry sense of humor and how you're just so chill. I don't know why I've never commented before. You know .... we all get busy doing our own things and trying to keep up that sometimes we forget to comment. But I always always hit that like button. Even though I'm like 100 years older than you, 😜 I relate to you in so many ways. (I really hate putting stuff about my own channel/videos in comments b/c it feels spammy. But it's relevant here. Please please know I'm not trying to spam your channel!) As I was watching you go through this, it seemed like this technique would probably work perfectly for the demographic that watches my channel so I had to try it out. Most times, I see a video that strikes me but am not compelled to jump on it right away. But something about this struck me immediately to where I had to film it the morning after I watched it. Love ya and appreciate you! And you are beautiful always! ❤️
@@julieoelker1865 Teach your daughter that not all behaviors require mimicry. Give your daughter other avenues to express herself and trust her to make her own choices.
I use this technique! Try the Charolette Tilbury bronzer in the squeeze tube. It works really well! Along with her highlighter in the squeeze tube. It makes your face look effortlessly beautiful. Thanks for uploading Sam!
I so feel you. I too was cocky about my clear near perfect skin (& my hair). Then almost two years after giving birth my period came back (perks of breastfeeding, just FYI) and with it insanity. Actual acne for the first time in my life, and other horrors like panic attacks. Then to make matte s worse I was put on a medicine that made me photosensitive which I thought was no biggie bc I shun the sun. But I forgot to reapply my sunscreen at the lake and I developed brown spots. My face is now darker then the rest of my skin. Fortunately for me when I had to change my diet (bc I also got really f’ing sick with chronic fatigue syndrome-such a massive bitch) my acne improves quite a bit. Apparently my skin doesn’t like gluten and sugar. I also added acids and retinols and I suffer from very few breakouts now. But I have scars and sun damage from that day at the lake. And my hair started falling out. My two greatest vanities were stripped from me. Well I still have hair but I have to take a bunch of oils and other shit that costs to much freaking money. But I’m so sad about my skin. I wish I was different and less vain and I’m working on it but its hard. So anyways now my skin life revolves around acids and punching teeny tiny holes in my face and trying to get this shit under control. Such a pain (more then a pain, it’s a deep insecurity and sadness) and costs so much money. So I feel you.
Sadly I was like you and only had minor monthly breakouts of a couple of blemishes and now from the stress of school has triggered an early onset of Rosacea.
Helena * thanks! I have heard of it but didn’t know it would help with the rosacea! I’m going to give it a try! Right now I’m using niacinamide serum in the morning and a hyaluronic acid + B5 serum at night. But I’ll just trade that out! It really only bothers me cause it feels like it’s burning when its flared up and that happens when I’m really stressed out and that could totally be psychosomatic... 😂 Thanks for the suggestion! I totally understand I’m the same way, I’m finishing up a degree in Forensic Anthropology and it’s Bio & Chem heavy.
My skin is not great and it doesn't help that my whole family constantly points it out when I'm at home without make up. Legit makes me want to cry because they make me so insecure and leads me to dotting concealer over my blemishes at home just chilling :(
Jaimie-Lee Rios So inconsiderate, esp. because of your skin should be able to breathe without makeup. Just remember; You are still beautiful ❤️. And If you would like to find great skin care routine; Renee from Gothamista channel is great.
Same, parents with great skin doesn't get it. I tried everything to cute my acne. I still have hormonal acne and those that come from eating unhealthy :(
Hey, tell your family to shut the hell up! NOBODY on this Earth is physically perfect. You take your power back & walk in your skin, wear it! You're beautiful no matter what your skin decides to do. Be healthy, take care - peace!
I’ve been watching you since your “Becoming A Makeup Artist” video. And I love you. You’re so real, about everything and you’re not scared to speak your mind. I’ve watched the whole spectrum of “beauty youtubers” but you’re the only one I’ve consistently supported because you’re so transparent. I appreciate you for always being a great inspiration for girls at every stage of their makeup career. I love you so so much and I wish we could be friends irl, but you’ll always be my fav Sam. 💕💕💕
I get really frustrated with my skin too! I’ve been on accutane and that worked great for me but now when I get a break out here and there I feel like this isn’t what I signed up for, if that makes sense. It’s so nice seeing a TH-camr with real skin.
It makes me so happy that you’re still champing out TH-cam despite how you’re feeling about your skin. I have struggled with my skin/acne allllllllll my life and I feel your frustration in my soul, seriously. Lol My skin is THE SAME way and I’ve been on accutane twice. So thank you so much for your confidence. You’re helping me more than you know ❤️
Omg actual game changer 😳 I always struggle with my blush/bronzer/highlight looking like stripes across my face and it’s so annoying, I’m so gonna have to try this out
oh my god this makes you look like you own a beach house in malibu and spend your winters there just enjoying a stress free life while making steel cut oats every morning.... so basically im saying your base looks amazing
This is the best comment ever.
Been waiting my whole life to learn how to foundate properly
I for one would like to know more about Shaelin’s 50-step no-makeup makeup technique.
Soobin Chun Honestly… Why would you want to use 50 steps of make up to make it look like you don’t have make up on when you can do that by putting the correct foundation on and a blurring powder, Touch of blush the same things on your eyelid as you put on your face and then going to your shadows if you want shadow. A shadow that’s a shade darker than your skin gives your eye the Deppe it needs to look like no make up make up and you could even use two shades there, but don’t use any shimmer on your eyes because that is a giveaway. Tight lining and or close lining of the lid and the best mascara combo of benefits brown primer and they’re real mascara will definitely give you eyelashes but they will never clump together. This was my first try with the primer and mascara and then I went and bought thrive which I loved but it is way too clumpy for me now and I can’t wait to go back to benefit even know it takes meet twoProducts to get my eyelashes to look long but not clumpy. I have would be lashes and they are so visible when I wear this mascara and primer. I promise you you won’t be disappointed. My sister turned me onto it and her friend turned her onto it and her friend turned her onto it and so on.
It might be one of those 'glass skin' Korean style makeup trends! I swear half of the steps are just skincare products before the makeup goes on.
agreed! and wayne goss did this look years ago! he is one of the original makeup greats :) @@HayGurlHay
I would just like to see what 50 steps of no make up makeup looks like. I don't even wear foundation.
@@ChrissyGrace2611 Because there is no reality in which, "putting the correct foundation on and a blurring powder" results in my face looking like I don't have makeup on, never mind the other steps you mention. So yeah, I'd love to see someone who has apparently put a lot more thought into the process share their methods, even if it takes 50 steps.
Shaelin is obviously a goddess sent from heaven to spread gods word on how makeup was meant to be applied.
Julia Switzer Saint Shaelin 🙏
I love you, such kind words. Thanks so much. Nic xxx
Awe yay you saw it : )
can someone please explain the thing about pixiwoo using soap?
@@NuraM444 They use clear soap in their brows to set them. It looks beautiful. Search their channel name and soap brows and you'll see how they do it. They really are amazing makeup artists.
@@LissaJaded ohhh thank you so much
You have been my favorite youtubers literally since the days you were fashionface tv
I’ve never seen your videos before because i mainly watch black women like myself or just lustrelux , but i am 2 minutes into your video and i literally love you . new subscriber. i already enjoy your personality so much
🤔
I had the same with alissa ashley, I thought it wouldn't make sense to watch her, because our skin tones are so far away. But I love her now and now I know we can watch anybody and it still "makes sense"
YOU DID IT. YOU DID THE VICTORIA SECRET ANGEL LOOK.
Have you tried turning your plant off then turning it back on?
Ann Marie Maloney 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
put it in some rice
Miss Sam... I am now one of your subscribers because Stephanie Marie touted your wonderful skills on the reverse foundation! First let me say you have taught this 55-year-old aesthetician make up artist model a new trick!
Secondly let me say to you this... I had to stop your video and cry because of how emotional you got about your skin and I’m still struggling to get through this. You are the era of my daughter she is 26. I would no more want to be in my 20s in this day and age with all the emphasis on Instagram beauty filter’s, fillers and plastic surgery. Precious Sam ..in my day I read vogue magazine‘s and I turned the picture is upside down so I could see where the make up artist had contoured and learn their tricks. I watched beautiful old movies with Hedy Lemar Audrey Hepburn Claudette Colbert. These glamorous beautiful icons. Sam you are one of those... you are a trendsetters and you have the opportunity to shed light for your generation by just being you. Sweetheart in 2 to three years it’s not gonna matter what’s growing on your chin... it’s what’s on the inside and that’s what I saw in your video ...a beautiful, intelligent, tender woman with braveness, transparency and truth in her make up bag. When your 55 all of the wisdom, knowledge and soul making that you have gone through in your 20s will be all the beauty that you need...💋💋🙏🏻💋 I love you sister
Thank you Amanda! I'm so glad you found Sam! I love her!
Me too
Sam do you watch Allie Glines?
What a sweet and beautiful message!
Oh my god I’m crying
The reason that I like seeing your natural skin is that I think you’re so gorgeous, and you having breakouts doesn’t make me thing you are any less gorgeous. And yet when I would look at myself during a breakout I would think I am the ugliest person in the world. Seeing you and realizing how gorgeous I think you are no matter the status of your skin has helped me to realize my acne shouldn’t affect my opinion of myself either.
So, seriously, thank you.
Perfectly said👌☺
Cosigning SO hard
idk why I’m getting Jennifer Aniston Aveeno commercial vibes from this look but I’m here for it
Have used this technique since 1992... glad to see it resurrected. Works best on dry skin tones since skin texture could be a concern with an overly matte or highlighted products.
Right. This is how it was always orginally done. Its only recently someone decided to put concealer over foundation lol
Right?? This is how I always did my makeup! It wasn't until the TH-cam beauty movement came along that I thought I'd been doing it all wrong!
This is how my mom taught me how to apply makeup so I believe you.
no way?! im trying this, i have dry skin and im always frustrated with makeup because it looks so cakey and patchy
I was really shocked to see people put concealer Over foundation when I first started watching TH-cam.
This is maybe... MAYBE... the most beautiful base I’ve ever seen. Skin looking like skin is my favorite. So model off duty.
Wow ok this is some...
glossy friggin goodness.
I've been there with my own skin and girl, I totally feel you! Mine is also at a point where I feel like it's trying to play me again. ugh.
you two need to collab ASAP!!🔥
MARIAH! I love your channel! So glad you're here! I was gonna like your comment but it has 666 likes and I didn't wanna mess that up. ~♥
Mariah Leonard MARIAH DO IT DO IT
Fuck yes! Please collab, u are both so gorgeous and funny...Or just for the f-bombs!
I love that your skin is natural and not perfect like everybody else! It makes me feel less alone in my adult acne journey
pls no one comment on my dying plant it’s too soon
Samantha Ravndahl 😂😂😂
Samantha Ravndahl hahahaha you’re too cute
Didn't even notice it tbh 😂
Samantha Ravndahl I could just listen to you talk allll day. I don’t even care about the topic.. as long as it’s you
😂😂 RIP plant. You've lived a life full of love, happiness, and a whole bunch of beauty 😉
god decided you were too powerful with clear skin
🥰
laurel mcbeath THE TRUTH
👏🏻👏🏻❤❤ sam is the baddest of all baddies even when her skin is being an asshole
I really appreciate that you actually show your skin! It’s such a struggle to find beauty videos that actually help me
On your point about women being expected to be naturally beautiful all the time... when I was in high school some guy told my best friend he liked her hair because it was so straight and she said is that a good thing? And he said yeah unless you woke up early to straighten it. I just remember being like ??? You like it unless she put effort into it? So if it’s not natural then its no longer beautiful? At that point I was like ok we can’t win (this was 10 years ago)
We really are taught this early on.
Yeah it’s so true.. I decided we will all eventually find someone out there that is going to love us for who we are no matter what. It just takes time 💛
Allie Barbera but in order for it to become easier for us to find someone who will love us for who we really are we should change the way we view beauty in society....
I understand this. The guy was thinking of the girl as he would be happy with her hair however it was. He wouldn't want her to feel she had to change to be pretty
Sad that so many still think that way 😤
i cant wait to try the shaelin technique !!
film it please!!
I would definitely watch your video on it!
LETS ALL DO IT!!
I’ve never watched your videos before and it just showed up on my suggested videos. I just want to say THANK YOU for being so honest about how you felt with your skin and how most of the pictures/videos that we see have filters. It’s so comforting to hear other women struggle with the same insecurities and to let us know it’s okay to struggle with that. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this video
no matter what your skin looks like those pearly whites and blue eyes will always steal the show i literally can’t look at anything else🤧🤧
sienna she has the prettiest eyes!
sienna mlunvocllo
True dat. i always mention how gorgeous her eyes are.
I'm always so jealous of people who say they're new subscribers or they've just found Sam...what I would give to be able to binge all of her videos for the first time again! Like when someone starts to read a book you've already finished and loved
wow same, I truly feel like I took my first time binge-watching Sam for granted and now I can't get that feeling back
I watch your channel time and time again, and I'm always so wowed by you. Your presence, authenticity, makeup applications, and honesty. Its so spot on and makes you such a joy to watch.
but ur bootiful
Wayne Goss and Lisa Eldridge have shown similar techniques before. Mostly with blush. It looks so subtle and natural! And same, my skin just gets terrible when I think it's gotten better
I just found your channel and I feel so blessed to have done so. Your skin concerns are something I can really relate to. It’s so refreshing to see influencers talking about things that actually influence me!
The loveliest girl! I met you the other day at Nordstrom!
Just so everyone knows, Sam is just as funny and beautiful in person as she is on youtube!
🤔I believe it! 😉
I’ve met her too at Imats a few years ago. She was so gracious and beautiful. I happened to have horrible swollen rashy dermatitis all around my eyes. I was mortified, and she treated me like I didn’t even look like an infected troll. I wanted to kiss her 😂 she’s that perfect buuuut I resisted the urge. I do have a beautiful picture of us together though 😊
I struggled with bad skin for literally a decade only recently it cleared up. And I don’t even have the words to explain what it feels like to have clear skin. People that never struggled with acne have not even the slightest idea of what emotion struggled your constantly under. I would not want to leave my house without makeup bc I just felt so disgusting, it was really bad. And now that my skin is finally ok, I feel, and have so much more sympathy for people that are struggling with acne. So you go girl!
Ugh totally feel you. It can really take a person’s confidence down, been there :(
People with naturally good skin don’t understand how amazing it is to leave the house with no base makeup and feel good. I’m still not over it and it’s been a couple of years since I really cleared up my skin and I still feel weird only applying brows/lashes/undereye concealer most mornings
Darya As someone who truggles with really bad eczema I know exactly what you mean. The eczema has cleared up on my face (still can't walk out the house with no makeup on) but it's still all over my arms, thighs and neck. I'm so jealous of people with clear skin. They don't have to go through multiple outfit changes just to ensure their neck and their arms are covered. Skin issues really do a number on your confidence levels because essentially your body is all you have. It's you. It represents who you are. It's the first thing people see. Idk. Never really had a lot of confidence since I've been struggling with eczema my whole life, but sometimes it would be nice to just look at myself without completely hating myself.
Naomi Garcia yes totally agree, the worst part is that it’s something you can’t control but people act/ treat you like you can.
I am mortified by my acne. I will not leave the house without base makeup on. I won't even take the dog for a walk without makeup. And I still feel horrible about my face after putting makeup on. I have had acne from age 11 to now (I'm 30) I have never had a clear skin break and I would die to just have clear skin
I appreciate your honesty about your skin. I like to pretend my skin doesn’t bother me so hearing you say you could cry made me choke up a little. I’ve been on spironolactone for months and it’s actually starting to work, so now when I break out it REALLY gets to me. Anyway, I just really appreciate everything about this video. Instantly hit the notification bell. Haha thank you.
Heads up about spironolactone. A side effect is kidney stones and I know this first hand, so if you get some intense pains in your lower back or kidneys, know that it could be what it is! Hopefully it won't because it was a great medication for me until that happened! Good luck!
SelectiveMemories hey, thanks! I’ve had kidney stones before so I really hope that doesn’t happen. 😬😭 how long had you been taking it when you developed/felt the kidney stones?? Thank you!
@@cheryourglam I am not quite sure. It was back in 2000! I do know that I was so out of it in the hospital that I didn't hear the doctor telling me to stop taking them so I didn't and got a second round a few weeks later!
“I’m just gonna foundate my ear” 😂😂😭😂😭😂
YESSSSS.....🤣🤣🤣 i hella laughed when she said that.
r u telling me the charlotte tilly hollywood filter ISN'T a foundation???? my bad, been slathering it all over my face for 6+ months & living my best life
jholmie Lots of people wear it as a foundation and I agree with you, it looks stunning as a light glowy base. You know how the internet can be though-very judgmental.
I want to purchase this! Just to wear as a foundation! It's so gorgeous.
Girl do you!!! Like she said about her friend she makes her own standards for makeup so you do you!!!
Same girl same 🙌🏻
I’ve been using this on clients FOR EVER as a foundation lol - do you girl. I support you 😘
This is what we need. I have had acne for years and it has fluctuated wildly. I have a hard time not wearing any foundation or concealer out, and I have been extremely depressed at times when I felt less than because of my acne. I have kept myself from doing things and have gotten so upset over it. And while a still get upset today, I know that it is just a part of who I am and videos like these have helped me grow in confidence and become a better version of myself. I would rather have been through shit and been stronger and better for it than to have gone through nothing at all. So thank you for all that you do, it takes an unknown level of strength.
This look is STUNNING, and reminds me a lot of the types of applications Wayne Goss favors! I will be trying this method tomorrow for sure. Thanks for experimenting for us, Samantha.
Amy Jay Wayne goss did this almost 8 years ago but he swears by it xox
Can shaelin please do a video of her make-up routine
The way you described how much blush and bronzer you put felt like you have been watching me do my makeup for the last few years. That's my exact problem which is why I was looking up a video and came across your channel! You are soooo down to earth which I love and even though this is an older video, it definitely helps still to this day! Since we are in quarantine, I have plenty of time to go and watch all of your videos now lol. Thanks for being genuine
So happy to see videos like this. There are so many "gurus" I enjoy to watch for entertainment, but not to learn makeup tips from because it is just so caked on. Tons of shape tape thickly drawn in massive triangles, baking the face with a ton of powder, obviously unnatural looking blinding highlight, sharply drawn on brows etc just doesn't do it for me. It seems like it is made to look good under the lights and on camera, but looks very full on in real life. I see a lot of young teenage girls who grow up learning makeup from TH-cam and so to them what they learn is "normal" is so different to what it was for me growing up. Most of the women I know (late 20's and older) want that "skin-like" makeup where it doesn't look so "makeupy". Your look is exactly the kind of makeup I want for myself.
I can’t remember the last time I watched a beauty TH-camr that didn’t have a filter when filming .. you can see everything and I am absolutely in love !!!! You are such an inspiration ❤️❤️❤️ and you’re beautiful honestly your skin looks great even with some breakouts !!!!
I was pretty impressed about the no filter as well. Kudos to you my dear.
Yeah, I love that aswell! Cloe morello does it too and it makes both of them so much more relateable
I love this whole video! The realness, the natural makeup, the conversation! And on a real face .. no fillers! I can relate to this it applies to me bc you are real, so thank you for this whole video!
Sam, you’re jarringly beautiful. Clear or not, I think you’d stop me in my tracks if I saw you in person even totally bare faced. I also adore your humor and attitude, and you seem like a very thoughtful and intelligent woman as well. You’re a badass, lady. I want to tell you not to stress too much about your skin, but instead I’ll wish you luck in getting controlling it again for your own comfort.
Jessica Helton so true. she is stunning just bare faced.
i'm so sorry i can't concentrate on the tutorial because i still can't believe you killed your plant (!!!)
Jamie Paige oh wow do we want to talk about YOUR PLANT GRAVEYARD?????????
Jamie Paige with the SAVAGE comment!!
LoL girls!
Omg I read this comment and thought wowwwwwwwwww this girl went in hard and then realized it was Jamie 😂
Hahahaha. Bitch!
I think seeing your natural skin texture is SO important as to seeing how a product ACTUALLY performs. If we cant even see how your skin looks and how a product applies on your skin, why should we believe anyone in what they are claiming? Love what you're talking about in this video and you are beautiful!
Your finished skin looks beautiful and effortless, good job! It’s all about layering the right amount and placement. I wish more beauty gurus actually taught about this..
I’ve noticed a change in the beauty industry , we’re seeing more and more variety , acceptance of flaws, raw and true looks. The beauty ‘standards’ have shifted immensely since i started my career...
I was always a tomboy, but even I wanted to look "pretty", "cute", etc. particularly during my VERY awkward adolescence. Then, as a young mom in my early 20's, make-up became almost a necessity to cover up the effects of sleepless nights and busy days.
Time went on and as my kids were growing up, I entered a new phase of being a "good-looking mom", always in attendance at school functions, games, etc.
My health took a crap when I was only 41, so bady that I wound up unable to work at all. I wound up being medically retired and fought a five-year battle to receive SSD, which FINALLY happened the summer of 2014.
For a long time, I couldn't have cared less about makeup; I felt like a shlub and I looked like a shlub.
Well, I'd always kept my nails nice, so I found myself getting more and more into nail "art", to the point I even began a TH-cam channel...
But I never showed my face.
Finally, I had a day, at age 51, where I'd gotten upset by some private messages and I did my first "face video".
Oh, I did NOT like how I looked - AT **ALL**!!!!!
So, that's how I got back to the makeup again.
And today... I see this.
Eureka!
Along with some great tutorials about dealing with crepey, hooded eyes... Yeah, I think this is well-worth my time and effort to try.
Thank you!
Now, next question: what's your skincare routine? What are some of your more inexpensive products? (I'm on an über-tight budget!)
💖Love & Peace☮
✝🎼Heidi R.💅👀
Hey Samantha, I love your videos, sorry I never comment. I just want you to know how pretty you are ! When you started talking about crying about your skin, my heart completely went out to you. I've cried so much about my acne over the years. It's so so hard. I don't think anyone who has never had to deal with it understands what it's like to wake up with multiple new zits on the daily, and have to apply concealer over so many bumps! If you gotta leave the house in a rush, forget about it. Or if push comes to shove, concealing the zits always takes importance over .. eating breakfast for example. Oh and the unwarranted advice from strangers all the time, like 'change your pillowcase' or 'don't touch your face with dirty hands'. OR the best - 'what are you eating?' Duh, I've tried all that! Changed pillowcase every two days, eaten vegan, gluten free, dairy free, whatever-free, haha none of it works. But the worst of all, is when you go to get a facial, or buy some new makeup or something relaxing as a treat, and you get the comment, 'wow, your skin is really... complicated.' Ok, I was trying to relax and feel good about myself for once, but thanks! Well, I just want you to know that you're great, doing all the right things, and I admire you so much. Your personality shines like hardly any other beauty youtuber out there. Keep up the amazing work. It just keeps getting better!
It's so refreshing to read this comment amidst the "have you tried this or that" and "you should/shouldn't do this or that" comments bombarding this section right now. It's annoying me for Sam, so I can only imagine how it affects her. I'm sure most of the comments are made with good intentions. But you verbalized so well how it can affect that person.
I know many are newer to the channel so don't know as much about her journey... but ... arg I'll just say a couple more words, then hush: Unsolicited advice, man.
I felt this comment in my soul. Hiding all your acne is #1 before going out the door...I get it, I've been there everyday
For about two years you’ve been my favorite TH-camr because you’re so informative, inventive, and genuine. You are beautiful inside and out and soooooooooo valued
This reminds me of Lisa Eldridge’s stance on makeup. This is truly *seamless*
Back in 2011ish Wayne Goss did this method. I love!!
Lia Longtime yep he sure did :)
Wayne Goss always has the best makeup tips and tricks
Lia Longtime yes, lol I didn’t see your comment, I just said the same thing!
Wayne Goss is a gift from the gods
Lia Longtime I love that someone said this because I’ve always seen such similarities between Sam and him, as far as how they don’t like to conform to popular beauty standards and practices. It’s so refreshing and I respect them so much more for it.
Randomly stumbled on this video and I’m dealing with my skin not being the best and not wanting to wear makeup or even do anything. Doing face mask after face mask and still nothing happening and this video just helped me to open my eyes and truly see how pretty your true skin is 💕
we love a disheveled icon
Ok, mind blown...I did it. I don't have breakouts anymore, but I suffered terribly and now have the battle scars of an old lady to prove it. My skin is terribly scarred and textured and this technique worked! Calling my daughter now, whos having acne problems too. Thanks!! ~Angie~
I love how all Sam's videos talk about subscriber recommendations or like different conversations with subscribers that show what a true community this is
This is honestly one of the best looks you’ve done wowowowowwww thank you for being vulnerable with us and being such a good teacher!
Wayne Goss has been doing this for years but I'm glad you reminded me to revisit this technique 😀
THIS is the prettiest most natural looking makeup that doesn't look like makeup but just really beautiful skin and natural shading! Also Stephanie Marie did it on her channel after watching you and mentioned you and how much she loved what you did! She said to tell you thank you! SO PRETTY!
I've seen a few celebrity and international makeup artists do this method and used it on my clients ever since!
this is my fave way to foundate
Tori Uptown Foundate? I like it.
You're beautiful the way you are, and I love that you're REAL about your skin. I have very sensitive skin, and have learned that my own skin issues are caused by allergies to certain makeup products/brands.
You should do a video with Shaelin! I am definitely going to try this technique! It looks so good on you! Thank you for sharing and I love your videos and humor 😂💗!
31 with hormonal acne over here! Currently on the antibiotic course and all that jazz but I love your vulnerability because it truly does suck.
I have a drs appointment today to try and fix my acne and I'm 29- I've never had skin issues until now and I have been trying everything. I finally made the appointment when my grandma was like "oh wow why is your skin looking like that and breaking out so bad" as if I knew the answer, but you know it's bad when grandma makes the comment!
I highly recommend seeing a hormone specialist instead of a dermatologist.
spironolactone was a game changer for me!
I'm 40... I basically need to wait another 10 years and the menopause will sort me out...
Gillian Wills 38 here. 😁 Not looking forward to menopause, but definitely waiting for the “sorting out”.
This honestly made me smile and has such a positive message. Hands down one of the best make up tutorials I’ve watched in a long time
"I don't think she would take the responsibility of the potential ramifications of time travel lightly
she would tread softly in the realm of seasons passed"
- Excerpt from Samantha Ravndahl, 2018.
Have you tried putting your plant in rice?
Is this a joke or for real???
@@Angelikuhhh a joke about cellular devices not working and the go-to response is to put them in rice.
Well, I do remember seeing a comment referencing root rot, I believe was the technical term, and it being caused from over watering.. you might be onto something!
@@rosiellagrace hmmmmm... that might work because rice does eventually decompose so it may be a good fertilizer afterwards?
@@kimgreen7458 ok I thought so! Hahahaha. I have a ton of plants and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a pro planting tip
"Feature, not a flaw" is such a lovely way to put it, and it really struck a chord with me. I feel like that's how most people view each other, but it's something we have to be more mindful about when it comes to our own appearance. I want to work to implicate that mindset, especially as someone who also experiences fluctuations in my skin. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
Wayne Goss is all about this reverse technique.
He's the 1st person I heard talk about this.
Yes, I was thinking that as well. But Wayne used powder underneath foundation for staying power etc. Here she is using all cream products under foundation. Am I right?
Lora New Wayne does do that, but he's also got a no makeup makeup look video using all cream products under foundation
@pao lu .... th-cam.com/video/EyQsVyGadbY/w-d-xo.html
OMG THIS IS AMAZING! I HATE the texture I have and this is fucking amazing. Shaelin for Prime Minister!!!!
Edgy Veg the fact that you watch Sam, makes watching both of you guys so much better.
Honestly such a gorgeous bridal technique, honestly! Polished but not overly polished, just YOU!
Your skin looks so beautiful! This is so nice, I love a natural looking finish on my skin. Also, it's okay about your plant, it's v important to match your aesthetic to your mood, which is why I always have a dying plant in my house.
Sooo.... we gon' have a funeral for your plant or what?
"Hold on, I'm just gonna foundate my ear" lmaoooo favorite line
Spironalactone was a game changer for my cystic hormonal acne. GAME CHANGER!
I cried and was embarrassed over my skin for years! Now I am the one who gets compliments!! So so worth it!!
"I'm just going to "Foundate" my ear"🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's this shit that has me folding like a lawn chair 😂
Right?! I died. 😂🤣
Pixiwoo Sam is one of my favs to watch. Her looks are always so stunning and I agree with her on most of the things - about instagram makeup, contour, coverage etc.
Iven been wondering when natural makeup would come back... the IG makeup isn’t gonna last. You looked beautiful today! Blush is my fave too!
Ugh - THE EYEBROWS!!! Can't wait for that trend to bugger off!
Thank god the IG makeup style is on the way out. Good on those who like it and wish to use the style to express themselves. I am glad that enhanced natural style is being embraced and not discouraged
AYO PREACH FR women are expected to be perfect all the time yet get attacked when they do the things in attempt to “look perfect”
Nicole Kopchak so true! Then we’re called “fake.” So frustrating.
Amy A girl exactly 😫
I feel weird because I just can‘t relate to these problems at all.. I am 20 and grew up in Germany and neither me nor anyone around me ever experienced what people are describing here. If a guy is interested in a girl, he always likes the way she looks, and it doesn‘t matter if she put in a lot of time and effort that day or not, no one really judges that here..
And also we feel like we need to be cake faced to be pretty and then men say "why do you even wear makeup?" And then they post a picture of what they consider "natural" and it's no where fucking near natural. 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Societal standards are actual bullshit these days. I absolutely hate it because I'm raising a little girl in a world that tells her shes not beautiful unless shes 5'10", super slender, big breasted with a plump ass with long legs and with perfect skin and makeup. How in the hell do we convince our little girls that beauty is unique to every individual when everything is photoshopped and face tuned
acne and skin is such a sensitive topic for me as well but i got to a much better place and i can go outside with no make up at all and showing all my red scars that i have! i’m so happy that i got over the “i can’t go outside without covering up my skin” mentality, you DON’T have to and in most cases people WON’T care, and i’m saying that as a person that knows the struggle! and btw your skin is really not bad, it’s just a few little red dots but not very noticeable! i know that often doesn’t help but sometimes it does help hearing that it’s not as bad as you think!
Pixiwoo were the first beauty channel I ever watched. They really capture that London makeup style
Hi +Cotton Tolly You are one of the sweetest, most genuine, makeup reviewers on TH-cam...I love that you watch Samantha R too! Happy Holidays, sweet girl!
@@clemethyne Thank you so much!! That is so sweet of you to say and I really appreciate it. I've watched Sam for years. Happy holidays to you too ♥️
@@CottonTollyxoxo You''re very welcome, although I didn't even scratch the surface...truth be told, your creativity and unique free spirit are exactly what the beauty community needs. A super cool beauty who isn't afraid to bring her unique talents to the table and isn't shallow or vapid. Your intro edits on the "Cotton Tolly" vid reminded me a little of old school Ministry videos... maybe even some "Death Squad" vibes with that Dodge Hellcat, but mainly I loved all the cool and unique looks you put together in your own fun unique way. This community needs more individuality, more focus on personality, I totally appreciate the way you and Samantha R both bring your own unique takes on beauty. Keep on being true to yourself, you totally rock, Cotton!
Your gorgeous with or without a breakout girl ! Don’t cry! Almost everyone’s skin has good and bad days/weeks/months! ❤️
Omg. I just found you! I appreciate your honesty... it’s rare. And I know about acne, I’m “old” & suffered many years from it. The older you get, you realize what’s truly important. Pimples shmimples! Keep being you.. you are a rock star!!! 🥰🥰
SAM YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!!!! With a full beat or bare face. You are a *BEAUTIFUL* human being, inside and out!!!! I am glad you found something that makes you feel better though, I know that's what really matters. (More than The opinion of a stranger, I mean,C'mon!😁) ❤❤ Thanks for sharing!!❤❤
My skin has been broken out for a month straight. Big, sore, red zits. I'm not joking when I say it makes me feel suicidal. Ridiculous, right? But it ruins my self esteem and takes away the relaxation and joy I usually get from applying my makeup. I hope we both clear up soon!
Ricci Ryan OMG same! Positive vibes to you on your journey!
Desere, wishing you a clear face! Keep your head up, doll! It'll happen.
Girl! Same!!
I actually went to the doctors about it because it is completely out of hand!
Turns out I have PCOS.
Anywho, not that you do, but go to the doctors, there may be an underlying issue causing the acne that can be treated.
All the best! I truly know how you feel!
Christina D amen to this, also get annual blood labs done with your yearly checkup. I discovered I had a hypothyroid and never had a clue. It relates to so many things, caused skin issues, hair issues, tiredness and overall feeling of “meh” about life. Since being properly treated I’ve seen big improvements in my skin.
You’re beautiful don’t feel bad they will go! My grandma always said pure aloe vera can help any broken skin! I usually use aloe vera at night and my skin is always clear! Try it out if you haven’t yet
You are totally gorgeous! I know what it’s like to struggle with acne but honestly your skin imperfections don’t at all detract from how beautiful you are! I hope you realize that lots of love xx
I've been doing this for years because I thought you were supposed to put the creams first, then foundation (I use a powder foundation and cream bronzer/blush/highlight). Was I a trendsetter this whole time? Should I have been filming myself for years? Think of all my non-existent subscribers who could have been doing makeup this way. I'm sorry world.
Mariah Taylor haha same! I think it’s because no one really uses powder foundation on TH-cam they go in with liquid usually
I have the same issue with bronzer and blush application, I’m just compulsive about layering more on even though I don’t want a heavy look. This is gorgeous, and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve applied my cream highlights this way, but never the whole face. To be honest, it’s probably a better technique for skin with acne (which I have) because then you don’t risk disrupting your base when applying products on top.
Girl!!!! I'm a makeup artist myself and I literally just went through this with my skin. I had a long stretch of awesome skin then a huge crash. It is devastating!!! I get really emotional about it too. Thanks for sharing and making us all feel more human!! I can't believe I haven't found your channel sooner!!❤
Your skin is beautiful. You notice your blemishes more than we do. BUT I know exactly what you are feeling. I used to be so depressed about my acne. I am NOT a Dr. BUT I had acne in the exact places you do. NOTHING worked topically and changing my diet only slightly helped. Look into taking a DIM supplement. I used one by Estroblock and took their Liver Detox too. The placement of your acne may very well be from hormones. When our estrogen gets too high it can cause acne in those exact places on our face. And it's mainly Xenoestrogens that mimic our estrogen and it comes from all sorts of things...BPA in plastic, pesticides in fruits and veggies, bovine growth hormones, phthalates in fragrance (glade plug ins, candles, perfume, etc) and even on store receipts. These fake estrogens make us estrogen dominant and cause acne mainly on chin, jaw, neck. After taking this supplement, my acne was gone in a couple weeks but after just a couple days, all the pimples were flattened. I wish I knew about DIM years ago instead of trying every acne product out there and hiding from everyone. Good luck!
Graceful Beauty thank you for sharing I have struggled with random hormonal breakouts for the last few years after a miscarriage and cutting out sugar helped but they still happen. I’ll check this out!!!
I have struggled with breakouts after the pregnancy but after taking Halo by Tati for about 2 months I haven't broke out at all. Not even while I was on my period look into that.
monikaO7 she has biotin in Halo and I get massive migraines and even worse breakouts from it so I can’t try it :(
@@PsychicBellaLove So sorry to hear you had a miscarriage. Sending big hugs! I absolutely love Estroblock. I t truly has changed my life. Hope it works for you!
@@PsychicBellaLove I couldn't try the Halo either. I get awful breakouts from Biotin too. I read great things about it though.
Watch Wayne Goss...he explains this exact technique
Manaar Zaki Love Wayne!
Manaar Zaki yes he does!! He's just as awesome as Sam, and Mariah Leonard too!
I was also thinking this - he talks about this routine often. I love seeing it on Sam's channel too :)
This is such a classic technique, this is how I was taught to do my makeup. It looks more natural because we blush and glow from within.
I first saw this technique ages ago on his channel. Love this idea. But never tried it, bcoz i always only use concealer no matter how subtle or dramatic my makeup look is. And Sam i use flawless filter as foundation all d time. Itz gorgeous.
You are so gorgeous! Don’t let your skin issues get you down. We all have something we are self conscious about but others rarely notice. ❤️
Wayne Goss made a video about this technique years ago. I’m too oily-skinned to try all cream products. I bake my entire face in powder and still get oily within an hour 😅
Leslie Martinez If it’s that bad, your skin might be dehydrated!
stale plastic I’ve just had terrible skin all my life unfortunately lol i moisturize, drink water, eat pretty healthy, just need a dermatologist 😂
@@lillypieisme my oil calmed down when I stopped using aggressive cleansers and 'over' moisturized my skin. I produced so much oil because my skin was extremely dehydrated. Just washing my face with cold water does the trick for me
Angie I’m glad you found something that works for you. I honestly just need dermatological care. I’ve had terrible acne since I was 9 years old 😩 Just can’t afford it though. I’ve tried anything and everything lol But thanks all for trying to help a sister out 💁🏽♀️
@@lillypieisme I feel you. I've had terrible acne prone/oily skin for years. I have a fantastic skin care routine with really good quality products, I eat healthy, I drink water, etc. But nothing helped until I saw a dermatologist and got prescription meds. Sometimes it just boils down to genetics and you can't change that unfortunately.
PLEASE do a drugstore version of this!!! X
i feel yougirl, my skin has completely went from flawless to acne central. i’m super insecure so seeing you be open with no makeup on in videos is inspiring me to do so as well! you’re beautiful !!
I see my viewers beat me to letting you know I tried this out! 😂I've been watching your channel for some time now Sam and absolutely ADORE you. I love your raw honesty, your dry sense of humor and how you're just so chill. I don't know why I've never commented before. You know .... we all get busy doing our own things and trying to keep up that sometimes we forget to comment. But I always always hit that like button. Even though I'm like 100 years older than you, 😜 I relate to you in so many ways. (I really hate putting stuff about my own channel/videos in comments b/c it feels spammy. But it's relevant here. Please please know I'm not trying to spam your channel!) As I was watching you go through this, it seemed like this technique would probably work perfectly for the demographic that watches my channel so I had to try it out. Most times, I see a video that strikes me but am not compelled to jump on it right away. But something about this struck me immediately to where I had to film it the morning after I watched it. Love ya and appreciate you! And you are beautiful always! ❤️
Stephanie Marie, I am closer to your demographic and I love Sam too. I also love you!
Sorry, but I can't stand your swearing. I wouldn't want my young daughter to watch you and think swearing is an acceptable way to express herself.
@@julieoelker1865 Teach your daughter that not all behaviors require mimicry. Give your daughter other avenues to express herself and trust her to make her own choices.
SO SWEET of you to comment!!!
I thought the same thing too.
It’s kind of weird bc she Is super classy but sounds trashy.
I use this technique! Try the Charolette Tilbury bronzer in the squeeze tube. It works really well! Along with her highlighter in the squeeze tube. It makes your face look effortlessly beautiful. Thanks for uploading Sam!
Your sense of humor and down to earth attitude is the reason I’ve subscribed to you for years. Makeup is just a bonus.❤️
I so feel you. I too was cocky about my clear near perfect skin (& my hair). Then almost two years after giving birth my period came back (perks of breastfeeding, just FYI) and with it insanity. Actual acne for the first time in my life, and other horrors like panic attacks. Then to make matte s worse I was put on a medicine that made me photosensitive which I thought was no biggie bc I shun the sun. But I forgot to reapply my sunscreen at the lake and I developed brown spots. My face is now darker then the rest of my skin. Fortunately for me when I had to change my diet (bc I also got really f’ing sick with chronic fatigue syndrome-such a massive bitch) my acne improves quite a bit. Apparently my skin doesn’t like gluten and sugar. I also added acids and retinols and I suffer from very few breakouts now. But I have scars and sun damage from that day at the lake. And my hair started falling out. My two greatest vanities were stripped from me. Well I still have hair but I have to take a bunch of oils and other shit that costs to much freaking money. But I’m so sad about my skin. I wish I was different and less vain and I’m working on it but its hard. So anyways now my skin life revolves around acids and punching teeny tiny holes in my face and trying to get this shit under control. Such a pain (more then a pain, it’s a deep insecurity and sadness) and costs so much money. So I feel you.
Sadly I was like you and only had minor monthly breakouts of a couple of blemishes and now from the stress of school has triggered an early onset of Rosacea.
Helena * thanks! I have heard of it but didn’t know it would help with the rosacea! I’m going to give it a try! Right now I’m using niacinamide serum in the morning and a hyaluronic acid + B5 serum at night. But I’ll just trade that out! It really only bothers me cause it feels like it’s burning when its flared up and that happens when I’m really stressed out and that could totally be psychosomatic... 😂 Thanks for the suggestion! I totally understand I’m the same way, I’m finishing up a degree in Forensic Anthropology and it’s Bio & Chem heavy.
My skin is not great and it doesn't help that my whole family constantly points it out when I'm at home without make up. Legit makes me want to cry because they make me so insecure and leads me to dotting concealer over my blemishes at home just chilling :(
Jaimie-Lee Rios So inconsiderate, esp. because of your skin should be able to breathe without makeup.
Just remember; You are still beautiful ❤️.
And If you would like to find great skin care routine; Renee from Gothamista channel is great.
Ugh same girl especially when I'm talking to them but they're scanning my face instead of looking me in the eyes :'(((((
Same, parents with great skin doesn't get it. I tried everything to cute my acne. I still have hormonal acne and those that come from eating unhealthy :(
I feel you with this
Hey, tell your family to shut the hell up! NOBODY on this Earth is physically perfect. You take your power back & walk in your skin, wear it! You're beautiful no matter what your skin decides to do. Be healthy, take care - peace!
I’ve been watching you since your “Becoming A Makeup Artist” video. And I love you. You’re so real, about everything and you’re not scared to speak your mind. I’ve watched the whole spectrum of “beauty youtubers” but you’re the only one I’ve consistently supported because you’re so transparent. I appreciate you for always being a great inspiration for girls at every stage of their makeup career. I love you so so much and I wish we could be friends irl, but you’ll always be my fav Sam. 💕💕💕
I get really frustrated with my skin too! I’ve been on accutane and that worked great for me but now when I get a break out here and there I feel like this isn’t what I signed up for, if that makes sense. It’s so nice seeing a TH-camr with real skin.
The comparison videos really showed the difference! I much prefer this new method on you :)
It makes me so happy that you’re still champing out TH-cam despite how you’re feeling about your skin. I have struggled with my skin/acne allllllllll my life and I feel your frustration in my soul, seriously. Lol
My skin is THE SAME way and I’ve been on accutane twice.
So thank you so much for your confidence. You’re helping me more than you know ❤️
Omg actual game changer 😳 I always struggle with my blush/bronzer/highlight looking like stripes across my face and it’s so annoying, I’m so gonna have to try this out
