I’m one of those people who NEVER comment but felt like I had to show you some love girl. I’ve been watching you for at least 10 years. You’re stunning, gorgeous, well spoken! I don’t know you personally ofcourse but your perspective & knowledge on makeup has really stuck w/ me. You know your shit and I’m always so excited when you come out w/ a new video. Everyone is forever aging and our bodies are changing constantly. I need to know how to age as gracefully as you Teni. Don’t stop creating & doin what you love!
Me too- 50 as well - but i am HORRIFIED of photos. I think there is a freakish reaction to what we think we look like in our minds and what a photo shows. Its some weird psychological thing i am sure. But we are not monsters!! We are just humans who age and live in a technological time. This is what i remind myself when someone says “cmon and get in this picture” at least, and you are a gorgeous human- im sure inside and out. Thank you for the video! 👍🧡👍🧡
Teni I have been following you for so many years now because not only are you beautiful on the outside but the way you hold yourself is so elegant and mature and it inspires me to be like that❤️❤️❤️
For someone as beautiful as you to be insecure about how you look in photos just reinforces the fact we all have insecurities. Glad you made this video- thank you for being vulnerable. It's a great reminder to give ourselves and others grace.
STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING TENI!!! Hands down you’re my favorite to watch for makeup tutorials-still watch the older videos. Not only are your looks beautiful and translate to real life without making us look like clowns, but you teach really well…💕💕
Girl, you look absolutely great. And yes, I’ve watched your older videos. I don’t watch all the time, but I’ve watched the videos of looks that I’ve been interested in over the years. You have nothing to worry about. There’s no such thing as perfection. But if there was, then you’d come as close to it as anyone possibly could. Oh & I subscribed to your podcast! I’m looking forward to listening to it tonight. Keep it up mama.
Been here since the Betty Luminizer days! Teni, I found you after searching for quite awhile for someone that had similar enough skin color to myself when I was a teenager. It meant so much that I found another woman of color to learn from and you taught me how to do my makeup. Now I’m a Monday Born customer too! Will always be rooting for you 💖
Nostalgia when I watch you I remember the olden days I’d play you on here and follow your tuts and I’ll always end up looking beautiful thank you for being here and giving us your time UA-cam will always be my baby your so beautiful and aging like fine wine and you look incredible
I have been following you for at least five years and you are just as beautiful as always. I know little about make-up and see your videos is inspirational. I am in my mid-fifties and see my own changes as I grow older I fully understand how you feel. So hearing you be real is so normalizing especially coming from someone like you, thank you.
Teni, you are beautiful and I like that you're honest about getting older. We all are and you're teaching us how to be the best us. I don't expect to look like a 20 year old and neither should you. You are you and we love that ❤
Your beautiful Teni your the one got me watching make up videos in the first place I was so excited to seeing you again on UA-cam so please do not stop your beautiful inside n out Try to remember when your feeling low ❤️
I never, ever comment, but I’ve been following you since the very beginning and you are still my go to MUA/skincare/beauty/style person. You are so beautiful inside and out and it really is inspiring for all of us. :) Lots of love to you!
Teni! You've been my favorite youtuber ever. Sorry to hear about what you've been going through...You are absolutely stunning but no matter how many people will tell you this, you need to believe it for yourself. Glad you're 'challenging' yourself to work through those feelings. Aging brings us to different stages and we learn to adapt. I turned 50 and I can't believe it. Feels like just yesterday i was in my 30's **sigh** Been changing my makeup game quite a bit lol I'm super stoked with this makeup look and I am definitely going to try it! Keep them coming!
Love this video and love all your content Teni. You are brave for putting yourself put there and also being honest about how difficult it can be. A truly genuine and inspiring individual. Thank you so much for the makeup application and product tips here I will be trying them out, and excited to listen to your podcast!
Teni, you have thousands of fans who love you. Ignore the haters and trolls; they will disappear and crawl back to their hell holes. DO NOT let them win.
Teni from 10 years ago was cute, but Teni in the present is where it’s at!!! You could gain 100lb, lose all your hair, etc and you’d still be the version we’d pick 10/10. Be gentle with yourself bc Teni is precious! Sending you lots of love mama
Teni, I turned 50 this year. we are all getting old. it’s the big realization that you have lived more years than you have left. Don’t get too hung up on your looks. You are more than that. Enjoy what you have: your family, friends, but most of all be thankful for your health. Who cares if your jawline is not as sharp as it used to be, or that you gained 15 pounds?,. This community loves you and would love to see you around more often. Smile girl that life is short. See you soon.❤
@@teniI too want to tell you how much I love seeing your evolution! I think you are more beautiful than ever and this was the first tutorial I was ever confident enough to try. Like, ever, from anyone, after years of watching videos… so thank you for your journey and perseverance!
Und ich dachte grad noch WOW, was für eine hübsche Naturalbeauty... um festzustellen das du mit den selben Problemen kämpfst wie andere auch. Fühl dich gedrückt, du bist toll!
Hi Teni, you were one of the first youtubers I started following back in the days and I still love to watch and learn from you! ❤ You were and still are so-so beautiful, more than you can imagine. I share the same feelings as you for myself, yes I am also aging, we all are. I turned 40 and already see the signs of time and stress, after all I've been through. But hey it's the privilege of getting old, one that not all people have. Anyway, we all love you, I love you and please don't runaway from youtube. Sending you only positive energy! Hugs from Bulgaria! 🌹🙂🌹
I just stumbled on your channel. Sis, you are absolutely beautiful! I’m floored that you feel otherwise about yourself. Social media is a gift and a curse.
Teni, I have been a long time subscriber and I am also feeling the same as you about my weight and age. As I hear you describing it, I thought....life is too short to worry about these things. We need people of all shapes, sizes and colors on YT and in general. You are beautiful, welcome back ❤
I wanted to give you a big hug at the beginning of this video! You are fabulous & successful & seem very real & kind. I know I struggle with some of the same things when you talked about aging. I try to remember that life really is soooo short & I can’t be wasting my time on those things. Maybe the days you don’t want to be all zoomed in on your face you could vlog? Or I love when you do fashion or home videos!
I have been following you for years now on you tube and you literally taught me & continue to teach me about makeup. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. 🩵
Teni Thank u for being on YT! Te sigo desde hace mucho tiempo y claro que has sido una gran inspiración!!! Eres hermosas por fuera y dentro, nunca dudes de ti!
Teni you are beautiful and I love your videos. You were actually the first makeup tutorial I ever watched on UA-cam and it inspired me to recreate the sunset eye you did… I got so many compliments on that makeup look. 😊
You are simply lovely! Thanks for making a video. I have always loved your content. I think we all understand and have felt the pressure of social media and the focus on perfection. Just try and remember we are ALL just perfectly imperfect. We are so much more than how we look. Sending love and good vibes your way ❤❤❤
Love your videos!!! You are beautiful and stunning!! Thank you for making these type of videos! I always learn from your techniques ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for mentioning the color shades of all the products as well, it’s so helpful!
Thank you for sharing. It’s helpful having someone in the same age range as me to relate too when it come to makeup and life lol. Seriously, your stunning ❤be gentle with your self😊 love love love from Palm Springs
The OG 🙌🏻 👑 Beautiful look 😍Love that you’re uploading more regularly again. I feel you regarding being wary about taking photos and posting. My jawline is definitely not as sharp as it was, and I notice more fine eye lines. I’m 43 but in my head I think I’m still about 30 until the mirror gives me a reality check 😂 I try to keep in mind that aging is a privilege and embrace my changing skin/ face going forward ❤
Hi Teni, I’m not a huge commenter on this space but I’ve been watching you for years and years. You are so stunning. At all weights. At all ages. You are so adored. I appreciate your honesty and wholeheartedly understand why you feel this way, but please know that you are loved and we have missed your beautiful soul (and voice) on here ❤ Sending you so much love 😊
Ahhh this takes me back to when I first watched you ❤ look your just sit down and chit chat. You’re beautiful your skin is lush just enjoy yourself and if you don’t like a video just delete it. Please don’t beat yourself up about stuff the world is cruel enough you have to be kind to yourself 🎉❤ x
Love you Teni! You are still as gorgeous as when you started 10 yrs ago! I understand the feeling of holding back posting photos /comparing yourself to others… but honestly do what makes you happy you are confident, stunning and we love your content! Much love from Australia🩷
I feel so similarly, Teni. I feel so vain and silly for feeling the way that I do (especially, as a grown adult, as you said). You're so beautiful; I didn't know you were feeling this way too. I grew up watching you videos. We're about the same age. I hope you continue posting. We can all age together ❤
i'm glad this resonated with you! We are all human after all, it's ok to go through phases but i'm trying to be self aware and make self love a priority going forward. ❤ ❤ ❤
I just wanted to go through the tube and give you a huge pampering hug! I don’t know what you’re going through but you seemed so sad… take your time and cry like crazy if you need to. We will be here to support your beautiful content and here to see you absolutely gorgeous face. You are not alone ! Everyone , regardless of what they tell you, goes through a difficult time when you realized you’ve “changed”… but what is most important for me is how young my heart ❤️ feels ! We radiate youth from within even if we are full of wrinkles 😂 Love you 😘
I was looking for makeup inspo fit for a USC young alumni awards recipient and this was the look I chose. I ordered all of the products and it was one of my all time fav looks! It took me back to my high school days, but coming out looking elevated and confident. Thank you Tani 😘😘 and Fight On ✌️
Tani! I been watching your videos for years. I know that what we see in the mirror sometimes does not reflect the reality…. Because girl you look just as beautiful as before. To me there is no difference. As we age we gain a bit of weight and that’s normal, honestly I feel that you look healthier. Society places so much pressure on women to look a particular way… and at some point in our lives it gets to us. I pray that you become stronger mentally and emotionally to get pass this darker phase. You are beautiful and loved.
God honey that was a wonderful video I hope you feel better‼️ I'm 75 and I can't even get a video up lately heart problems blood problems and mentally it's wiping me out too, I always watch all your videos You appear to be a very honest kind young absolutely gorgeous young lady God bless you feel hun ❤️🙏🏻
@@teni Thank you so much for saying that ‼️ You have been a blessing to so many of us thousands of people You've helped with makeup tips discussionsp, how to feel better, please feel better about yourself😇 God has blessed you with a wonderful soul and heart and a beautiful face and the blessings to cheer other people up God bless you❤
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. No doubt every female can relate to what you were sharing. Social media can be such a mind f*ck! You are beautiful inside and out! ❤
Teni! I’ve loved watching you for over 10 years! I’ve missed YOU on UA-cam and have been wondering why you stopped posting. I enjoyed learning about makeup from you, due to me being neutral toned as well! There was a time where neutral olive toned makeup didn’t exist and you were one of the few that openly talked about being green! Please continue to post doing what you love and just know there are people out there who love you! PS: I still use Betty Lou manizer and it’s my HG!
It’s hard to put yourself out there. But you have a whole community supporting you and looking up on you. You can choose to still post and upload videos on the days when you feel less attractive and a lot of women will follow ❤️ there’s nothing more liberating than accepting yourself at every step of your journey, physically, emotionally and mentally. Life changes and with it, so do we. Change is beautiful, and accepting is transformative. You were and are just as beautiful, 15 pounds more or less. Also, I really like the fuller face, as we age sometimes a little more meat on the cheeks is very flattering lol. Love yourself girl, you are worth it and you deserve it ❤
Let me just tell you how stunning you are, with or without makeup. We are all so judgmental of ourselves all the time. Our worst critic is ourself. I absolutely look forward to seeing your videos because they inspire me. I hope you're doing well and wish you the best that life has to give you. Thank you for sharing.
i’ve felt the same way as you with posting pics. i’ve caught myself staring @ a selfie for too long then it starts to look different & I delete it! it’s horrible but i’m here for you Teni!❤
such a strange feeling! I think because we're the first generation to grow and age on social media, all of our photos throughout the years are right there for us to see, ripe for the comparison. 🤣 it's ok to have these feelings, but I'm trying to be compassionate with myself and I hope you are too!
I scared my poor dogs when I got the notification of your video. I yelled, "WHAT? YAY. " 😂 My dogs were fast asleep and I startled them😮 Anyway, I'm so happy you decided to upload. I have always loved and admired your vulnerability and how open you are in sharing them. That's not always an easy thing to do❤ I also know what you mean when it comes to uploading content, and how hard it can be doing it on those days you're not feeling confident. I will preface this by saying, you can feel confident at any age, age shouldn't have anything to do with it. But, for me personally, I'm turning 44 this year, and for some reason, I'm way more confident in my insecurities, showing them, owning them, etc than I was when I was younger. It's weird, but I always say i love being in my 40's, and the main reason for that is my confidence. I just don't care 😅 It's like it rolls off my back much easier as I've gotten older, and, the unrealistic photos on Instagram do not effect me like they would have when I was younger. It's unfortunate that our beauty standard has become what it has become, and having my own 20 year old daughter, I see the impact it has on younger girls😢. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out❤ You have helped so many people feel confident in themselves, and you're one incredibly kind, gorgeous woman❤❤ Wear your insecurities like a badge of honor, we all have them, and the funny thing is, the things we are insecure about, know one notices them😅 We're the only one that cares 😂 That is a true statement. Keep being the amazing person you are, and know you are loved and admired, Teni❤ Wishing you all the love and happiness this life has to offer❤
P.S. I just ordered the caviar stick in cocoa😂 I love those caviar sticks and i didn't have that shade😅 Loved the Bronzey makeup, you're so talented it's ridiculous ❤😅
I appreciate you sharing this, Tara Lynn! It's always nice to hear from each other and share our respective experiences; I hear 40's are a fantastic decade so I hope I will have the privilege to experience it!! lots of love to you, I hope you're doing great! (yay for the new caviar stick haha, it's so easy to use I love them!)
I totally feel you on not recognizing the changes that come along with aging. I’ve been following you since the balm Marilou manizer😂 Back then there were very few beauty content creators with darker features and hair that looked like me. You help me feel included. Im saying this as a reminder that We are never alone in any journey. There are plenty of women and men aging with you and feeling what you are feeling. We can support and grow from this and maybe learn a few tricks on how to modify doing our makeup as we age. Even now, I feel your struggle with aging and not recognizing my face in pictures so I don’t take any and strategically make sure I’m the one behind the camera at gatherings. Im happy you uploaded a video it great to see your face!
Teni, I felt like you wanted to cry during this whole video. I’ve been feeling the same thing you’re feeling, especially as I turn 40 this weekend. Remember that you’re aging gracefully, you’re beautiful inside and out. You literally are goals when it comes to skin, makeup and personality. You’re my favorite UA-camr, I’ve always loved your approach to makeup. Please continue to do what you do best. We’re all just growing up with you. Monday born is the best!!! I use your products everyday because I want skin like yours. ❤️🥰
I just wanted to go through the tube and give you a huge pampering hug! I don’t know what you’re going through but you seemed so sad… take your time and cry like crazy if you need to. We will be here to support your beautiful content and here to see you absolutely gorgeous face. You are not alone ! Everyone , regardless of what they tell you, goes through a difficult time when you realized you’ve “changed”… but what is most important for me is how young my heart ❤️ feels !

You are so gorgeous you have absolutely no reason to feel self conscious but I understand we r always our toughest critic. Love that you are brave enough to be that vulnerable. Sending positive vibes your way ❤ & thank you for sharing this stunning bronzy look 😍
Hi Teni. I have just discovered your channel. Ive watched a video from 7yrs ago & now this one. Just to say you are beautiful! ❤ 15 pounds of weight gain is nothing. I am 38 years old, it can be so hard to maintain the same weight. Ive gained quite a bit of weight over the past 7 years. Us ladies put so much pressure on ourselves without the pressure of social media etc. I love your makeup technique 🥰 keeping going girl xx
Hi beautiful lady been watching your videos for years. I do your smoky eye every occasion. Just realised it was you by your voice. You look incredible just as beautiful if not not more beautiful MasAllah as we say!!! 😍😍❤️
I’m one of those people who NEVER comment but felt like I had to show you some love girl. I’ve been watching you for at least 10 years. You’re stunning, gorgeous, well spoken! I don’t know you personally ofcourse but your perspective & knowledge on makeup has really stuck w/ me. You know your shit and I’m always so excited when you come out w/ a new video. Everyone is forever aging and our bodies are changing constantly. I need to know how to age as gracefully as you Teni. Don’t stop creating & doin what you love!
Thank you so much. 🥰 I have a very good friend whose middle name is Yoshiko! I don't see it too often ❤

The queen of smoky brown eyes!!! Thank you for this, I’ll be following this tutorial the next time I go out
so happy to hear that! ❤
For someone as beautiful as you to be insecure about how you look in photos just reinforces the fact we all have insecurities. Glad you made this video- thank you for being vulnerable. It's a great reminder to give ourselves and others grace.
agreed, so important for ourselves and for others!!
Some days I go back to your old videos and watch them because they give me comfort. 🥹🤍
this made me so happy, Valerie 🥺❤

Hi Teni, I’m not a huge commenter on this space but I’ve been watching you for years and years. You are so stunning. At all weights. At all ages. You are so adored. I appreciate your honesty and wholeheartedly understand why you feel this way, but please know that you are loved and we have missed your beautiful soul (and voice) on here ❤
Sending you so much love 😊
thanks Louise, really lucky to have you!!
Ahhh this takes me back to when I first watched you ❤ look your just sit down and chit chat. You’re beautiful your skin is lush just enjoy yourself and if you don’t like a video just delete it. Please don’t beat yourself up about stuff the world is cruel enough you have to be kind to yourself 🎉❤ x
thanks so much bb ❤
Beautiful perfect eye look these have been my go to type eye looks as of late….love the ease of creams and liquid eyeshadow ❤
Love you Teni! You are still as gorgeous as when you started 10 yrs ago! I understand the feeling of holding back posting photos /comparing yourself to others… but honestly do what makes you happy you are confident, stunning and we love your content! Much love from Australia🩷
appreciate you so much ❤ thank you!
You look amazing! Thanks for sharing
Missed you! Stunning as always❤️
missed you guys too! Thanks Angela 💗
I feel so similarly, Teni. I feel so vain and silly for feeling the way that I do (especially, as a grown adult, as you said). You're so beautiful; I didn't know you were feeling this way too. I grew up watching you videos. We're about the same age. I hope you continue posting. We can all age together ❤
i'm glad this resonated with you! We are all human after all, it's ok to go through phases but i'm trying to be self aware and make self love a priority going forward. ❤ ❤ ❤
@@teni Aww, thank you so much for replying. Made my night ♡
I just wanted to go through the tube and give you a huge pampering hug! I don’t know what you’re going through but you seemed so sad… take your time and cry like crazy if you need to. We will be here to support your beautiful content and here to see you absolutely gorgeous face. You are not alone ! Everyone , regardless of what they tell you, goes through a difficult time when you realized you’ve “changed”… but what is most important for me is how young my heart ❤️ feels ! We radiate youth from within even if we are full of wrinkles 😂 Love you 😘
I was looking for makeup inspo fit for a USC young alumni awards recipient and this was the look I chose. I ordered all of the products and it was one of my all time fav looks! It took me back to my high school days, but coming out looking elevated and confident. Thank you Tani 😘😘 and Fight On ✌️
You are the last person who should be feeling scared to post… you are absolutely stunning! 😍
Tani! I been watching your videos for years. I know that what we see in the mirror sometimes does not reflect the reality…. Because girl you look just as beautiful as before. To me there is no difference. As we age we gain a bit of weight and that’s normal, honestly I feel that you look healthier. Society places so much pressure on women to look a particular way… and at some point in our lives it gets to us. I pray that you become stronger mentally and emotionally to get pass this darker phase.
You are beautiful and loved.
Gorgeous!!! Love this look ❤
God honey that was a wonderful video I hope you feel better‼️ I'm 75 and I can't even get a video up lately heart problems blood problems and mentally it's wiping me out too, I always watch all your videos You appear to be a very honest kind young absolutely gorgeous young lady God bless you feel hun ❤️🙏🏻
I hope you start to feel much, much better soon! What a blessing to see 75. All my best to you ❤
@@teni Thank you so much for saying that ‼️ You have been a blessing to so many of us thousands of people You've helped with makeup tips discussionsp, how to feel better, please feel better about yourself😇 God has blessed you with a wonderful soul and heart and a beautiful face and the blessings to cheer other people up God bless you❤
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. No doubt every female can relate to what you were sharing. Social media can be such a mind f*ck!
You are beautiful inside and out! ❤
thank you Heidi!!
Never clicked so fast!!! Loved this look, and all your look. Glad to have you back! Much love ❤️
lots of love to you too!!
Teni! I’ve loved watching you for over 10 years! I’ve missed YOU on UA-cam and have been wondering why you stopped posting. I enjoyed learning about makeup from you, due to me being neutral toned as well! There was a time where neutral olive toned makeup didn’t exist and you were one of the few that openly talked about being green! Please continue to post doing what you love and just know there are people out there who love you! PS: I still use Betty Lou manizer and it’s my HG!
Ugh I love seeing you on my screen!! You are amazing ❤
thank you Abby!!
loved this video and thank you for being so real with your thoughts 💕 such a great approach to it as well! keep going! 🙌🏽💕
thank you so much, teni!!
🤗❤
It’s hard to put yourself out there. But you have a whole community supporting you and looking up on you. You can choose to still post and upload videos on the days when you feel less attractive and a lot of women will follow ❤️ there’s nothing more liberating than accepting yourself at every step of your journey, physically, emotionally and mentally. Life changes and with it, so do we. Change is beautiful, and accepting is transformative. You were and are just as beautiful, 15 pounds more or less. Also, I really like the fuller face, as we age sometimes a little more meat on the cheeks is very flattering lol. Love yourself girl, you are worth it and you deserve it ❤
Let me just tell you how stunning you are, with or without makeup. We are all so judgmental of ourselves all the time. Our worst critic is ourself. I absolutely look forward to seeing your videos because they inspire me. I hope you're doing well and wish you the best that life has to give you. Thank you for sharing.
we really are our worst critics! I am trying to commit to showing myself more love. Thank you ❤❤
i’ve felt the same way as you with posting pics. i’ve caught myself staring @ a selfie for too long then it starts to look different & I delete it! it’s horrible but i’m here for you Teni!❤
such a strange feeling! I think because we're the first generation to grow and age on social media, all of our photos throughout the years are right there for us to see, ripe for the comparison. 🤣 it's ok to have these feelings, but I'm trying to be compassionate with myself and I hope you are too!
@@teni Yes you are so right! ❤️❤️
So gorgeous!❤
I scared my poor dogs when I got the notification of your video. I yelled, "WHAT? YAY. " 😂 My dogs were fast asleep and I startled them😮 Anyway, I'm so happy you decided to upload. I have always loved and admired your vulnerability and how open you are in sharing them. That's not always an easy thing to do❤ I also know what you mean when it comes to uploading content, and how hard it can be doing it on those days you're not feeling confident. I will preface this by saying, you can feel confident at any age, age shouldn't have anything to do with it. But, for me personally, I'm turning 44 this year, and for some reason, I'm way more confident in my insecurities, showing them, owning them, etc than I was when I was younger. It's weird, but I always say i love being in my 40's, and the main reason for that is my confidence. I just don't care 😅 It's like it rolls off my back much easier as I've gotten older, and, the unrealistic photos on Instagram do not effect me like they would have when I was younger. It's unfortunate that our beauty standard has become what it has become, and having my own 20 year old daughter, I see the impact it has on younger girls😢. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out❤ You have helped so many people feel confident in themselves, and you're one incredibly kind, gorgeous woman❤❤ Wear your insecurities like a badge of honor, we all have them, and the funny thing is, the things we are insecure about, know one notices them😅 We're the only one that cares 😂 That is a true statement. Keep being the amazing person you are, and know you are loved and admired, Teni❤ Wishing you all the love and happiness this life has to offer❤
P.S. I just ordered the caviar stick in cocoa😂 I love those caviar sticks and i didn't have that shade😅 Loved the Bronzey makeup, you're so talented it's ridiculous ❤😅
I appreciate you sharing this, Tara Lynn! It's always nice to hear from each other and share our respective experiences; I hear 40's are a fantastic decade so I hope I will have the privilege to experience it!! lots of love to you, I hope you're doing great! (yay for the new caviar stick haha, it's so easy to use I love them!)
my baby!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ #twin
🥰🥰🥰
So gorgeous!! You do not age!❤
thank you for being here!! 💖💖
I totally feel you on not recognizing the changes that come along with aging. I’ve been following you since the balm Marilou manizer😂
Back then there were very few beauty content creators with darker features and hair that looked like me. You help me feel included.
Im saying this as a reminder that We are never alone in any journey. There are plenty of women and men aging with you and feeling what you are feeling. We can support and grow from this and maybe learn a few tricks on how to modify doing our makeup as we age.
Even now, I feel your struggle with aging and not recognizing my face in pictures so I don’t take any and strategically make sure I’m the one behind the camera at gatherings. Im happy you uploaded a video it great to see your face!
I'm so happy to see you. ❤
🤗🤗🤗
Teni, I felt like you wanted to cry during this whole video. I’ve been feeling the same thing you’re feeling, especially as I turn 40 this weekend. Remember that you’re aging gracefully, you’re beautiful inside and out. You literally are goals when it comes to skin, makeup and personality. You’re my favorite UA-camr, I’ve always loved your approach to makeup. Please continue to do what you do best. We’re all just growing up with you. Monday born is the best!!! I use your products everyday because I want skin like yours. ❤️🥰
I just wanted to go through the tube and give you a huge pampering hug! I don’t know what you’re going through but you seemed so sad… take your time and cry like crazy if you need to.

I appreciate you so much!! Wishing you a very happy birthday and a beautiful decade ahead!!
You always look beautiful!!!
thank you ❤❤
You are so gorgeous you have absolutely no reason to feel self conscious but I understand we r always our toughest critic. Love that you are brave enough to be that vulnerable. Sending positive vibes your way ❤ & thank you for sharing this stunning bronzy look 😍

I missed you so much

I love it! So beautiful! ❤
thank you!!
Hi Teni. I have just discovered your channel. Ive watched a video from 7yrs ago & now this one. Just to say you are beautiful! ❤ 15 pounds of weight gain is nothing. I am 38 years old, it can be so hard to maintain the same weight. Ive gained quite a bit of weight over the past 7 years. Us ladies put so much pressure on ourselves without the pressure of social media etc. I love your makeup technique 🥰 keeping going girl xx
Hi beautiful lady been watching your videos for years. I do your smoky eye every occasion. Just realised it was you by your voice. You look incredible just as beautiful if not not more beautiful MasAllah as we say!!! 😍😍❤️
