You Asked Me Questions And I Answered Them. That’s What Happened.

so uh today i thought that we would sit down and i would answer some of your questions because i feel like i don't know maybe i've done it recently i don't really know but i feel like you have a lot of questions a lot of the time so we're gonna do it so i asked you just on youtube just because i know i feel like i've done it on instagram a lot and i know a lot of you don't have instagram which is probably a good thing so the first one is what's the biggest thing you need that you think needs to change in the beauty community right now or what's your favorite drama tea you've ever learned um that's not my like yeah it doesn't it's not something that super interests me i think i'll answer your first question the biggest thing that i think needs to change in the beauty community right now is who we consider to be the beauty community because i feel like so many people are left out of it and there's kind of this like generalization that the beauty community is made up of like jeffree star and nikita dragon and um james charles and like that's it and in my opinion they're a very very small piece of it tjust happen to be some of the biggest i guess like the biggest followings but tdon't make up the beauty community um i don't remember voting them in as our representatives so that's the biggest thing that i think needs to change is just like the public perception of what the beauty community online is because we're often like written off as just being those people and we're very much not i think the majority of people aren't do you believe in primers if uh and if you do what are your top primers but if you don't what do you do to make your base look more flawless um that's actually really funny because i literally just filmed a video about makeup basics for like beginners and i talk about primers obviously and it's not that i don't believe in primers it's that i don't think you have to have a primer i don't think that like your skin concerns rely on a primer it could just be a moisturizer it could be your sunscreen the thing that i believe in is prepping the skin for foundation so yeah it could be a primer it could be a moisturizer or whatever it could be a setting mist whatever it is um this person said i've actually answered this question before but it's very popular how did you get so comfortable in front of a camera i feel so genuine watching uh one of your videos because it is genuine yeah a lot of people feel the need to put or yet a lot of people feel the need to put on a show i don't know where that don't get me wrong i definitely did this at points in you know doing youtube where you feel like you had to do i feel like you just kind of when you're watching other youtube videos you end up kind of doing what other people are doing because you're starting you know and you don't really know how to do it so like i definitely um had moments where i thought you know watching desi perkins videos i was like oh i need to have like a really cool intro and then i need to like do that thing that everybody does where they're like if you want to see how i got this keep watching which i hate um so yeah i definitely like did those things uh if i go back to my like very first youtube tutorial i think it was pretty chill like it was pretty much like this i'm definitely not quite as comfortable because it is a very weird thing getting used to just like sitting in a room by yourself talking to a camera um but i've said this before it's like if you're if you're thinking about doing it you're alone you can throw that away you know what i mean like you don't have to upload it so it does take a little bit of practice i think to get used to it and um but for the most part i'm literally just like sitting here talking the way that i would talk to a friend so yeah i don't know it didn't really take it didn't take that much work to become comfortable um i think the thing that i needed to become comfortable with was just like talking to myself so i get questions all the time about like what my if i came out with a brand what would my product be or like what would my brand be about and all that stuff i haven't no idea or i'd be working on it like i literally have no idea i don't know if it would be a makeup brand i don't know if it would be something else i don't know if even if it was a makeup brand like what my goal would be with it like what the theme would be what the point of it would be you know there's so many freaking makeup brands out there that i'm not looking to just like launch something and just have it be like a regular old makeup brand because it's like why there's so many to choose from you know um so i don't know i don't have an answer for you i literally don't know maybe it would be like some kind of a contour palette or something so that i could get my like perfect shade that'd be cool but yeah i really don't know there's a hair on my lip this is so annoying i feel like this has been happening all day what's your favorite medium when creating art outside of makeup i love painting um i'm kind of like experimenting with watercolors on and off recently because it's cleaner you know my favorite is oil painting but it's just so freaking messy there's so many chemicals and fumes that you have to worry about and i live in an apartment so it's like not ideal so yeah that would be my that would be what i would want to use but i would just need more room i would need like its own room you know watercolor pens are actually really fantastic because they're like quick and easy you know that's what i've been using any tips on having self-confidence you seem like the most confident person on youtube in a good way i've been struggling with not being so hard on myself and i can't seem to get out of a hole without falling back in it dude i totally relate um yeah i think it's just this past year has been like so rough on everybody i don't know what i'm doing uh i feel like i'm constantly in a rut i have days where i like just absolutely feel like i don't even want to talk to people i don't really have an answer for you i have said in the past that like things that get me out of it is [ __ ] up my routine somehow like just changing [ __ ] up like whether it's um you know create i don't know just like making plans with someone having something to look forward to going for a hike like just not just being stuck in the same routine um that really helps um and i don't know just kind of forcing yourself to like be i guess this is more about confidence i was thinking like creativity but it all sort of comes together for me it all kind of comes to uh it all kind of like comes down to pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone i guess unfortunately i think that that's just something that comes with like being social and we haven't had like a lot of opportunity to do it this year so it's tough honestly what i would say is just don't put too much pressure on yourself because after this past yea
