Forget about ''natural beauty'' we should talk about artificial ugliness.
The filler is fugly
I'm gonna say this to people from now on. This is perfect.
I would argue , it's not artificial
🤷
It's REAL ugly
I mean, I think that's more of a subjective thing to talk about. At least with beauty standards there is this general list of things that the society deems to be attractive.
Two sides of the same coin.
“Aging is a gift not many people get to experience” A great reminder to all ❤️
Fuck his kind of "gift".
Aging is not a gift to anyone.
@@spino1i Yeah, tell that to those who lost a young loved one. Tell that to those who received a diagnosis of a fatal illness just when there were so many things that needed to be lived and/or get done.
Aging IS a priviledge. And its downsides (which science _must_ keep fighting in the name of quality of life) are NOT in the simple natural harmless changes of your face, which give you the dignity of a long life, but they concern general health and illnesses. Nothing to do with wrinkles.
@@spino1iwhy wouldn’t it be? Getting to grow old and see your children or nieces or nephews grow up, grow old with your partner and possibly meet your grandkids. Who wouldn’t want that?
copium
This "desperate need to hide and change the body you were given" is one of the LOUDEST issues in society right now, from gender ideology to bbl's. Bravo to Brett for her two cents on this trend 👏🏼
And what do you think could fix it? Therapy doesn't seem to work. Changing it seems to work.
@@adryncharn1910 Personally I think society creates these problems for itself by following trends regardless of the logic. I think whoever pushes the "standards" behind the latest trends in beauty, gender, etc. are the ones to blame, and we're to blame for going along with it. So, addressing that would address the root cause.
We end up developing an identity crisis that wouldn't have otherwise existed, and then become so desperate to fit into that desired identity that changing ourselves actually brings relief. It's not healthy at all
Changing the body you were given is a completely different topic than someone getting a BBL. Minimal makeup, shaving, wearing clothes, cutting hair, anything you do is changing your body, yet by your statement you’re lumping everything together and the extremes.
@@BadMannerKorea it's kind of self explanatory. She didn't say "changing your hair, look," etc. ..Getting a BBL is *literally* changing your body, like think about it...
Ironically, you're the one lumping everything together
@@omnium_gatherum If it was self explanatory people wouldn't be confusing extremes in with general methods of fighting aging. Even you confused them, where as I pointed out, you lumped in BBL's and changing the body. Almost everything you do is changing the body. Yet there's other people who are saying they want to go back to "natural aging" and basically give up the fight, aka aging poorly, a mere rationalization of laziness and apathy. I'm making a distinction between an extreme like BBL's and aging gracefully, which the latter indeed takes effort and is a worthwhile goal.
As a 40 year old, I'm grateful for you being that role model to your generation! I had breast implant illness and that took a decade out of my life. DON'T DO IT. Take advice from the wise.
Well... Natural beauty is a thing, but everyone is unique.
If there are certain things about you that makes you distinctly unattractive, if there are safe ways to fix it cosmetically while securing your identity and natural outlook, whats bad about it.
The only outcome that it will bring is a stronger mental strength, more attractive body and a greater chance at finding a more attractive partner.
For example; f a girl with below average sized breasts get an implant for it to look average or a bit above average, when performed it will not lead to an unnatural state. however being extreme with such procedures, for reference like Kim K, it will lead to a rather unnatural appearance. All though with moderation it would appear natural, while improving the mental strength of the patient and their issues with insecurity
While I do not accept the Idea of extreme cosmetic surgeries like that of the kardashians and many modern influencers, I do believe there is a multitude of surgical options for certian people that will improve their quality of life by a large amount.
@@firstconsul001 The problem with that, is you're putting a quick band-aid over a deep emotional wound. From a purely psychiatric perspective, you'd be better off in the long run to take the time to work through your problems mentally and balance your self image. It creates a more stable mindset. Take it from some one who didn't get there till their late twenties. It may take longer, but it doesn't leave the psychological equivalent of mold under the the new coat of paint. Many issues like this can be 'solved' short term and they fester into deep seated insecurities in later life when you realize people don't live you for you. They love you for the thing you changed yourself into. Plus most of these cosmetic surgeries have downsides later in life that ruin your formative years. It's all fun till you start falling apart past forty with another forty years to go. Only the rich can afford the upkeep needed to continue this lifestyle all the way to the grave. It also puts a massive financial burden on yourself. Better to spend the money on things that help you to live a sustainable live long-term.
@@firstconsul001get out. No natural features make us ugly..
Sure. delulu@@narmaya33
thats prolly why brett has those thick ass make up and eye brows on her face...
She also got a very unnatural ass that she for sure gained by training at the gym.@@narmaya33
Your freckles show how much you’re outside, your smile lines show your joy, your scars show your struggles and how far you’ve come, your whole face tells a story of hundreds of people that have fallen in love. Everything you have is beautiful and paints a picture of your life.
This was beautiful, thank you ❤️
Yes, I wish more people would understand this. I love looking at peoples faces, I could stare at them all day if it wasn’t so creepy lol. There’s so many beautiful and heart breaking stories written on them. You can tell the life they’ve had. I might be crazy but sometimes I feel like I can see it in their eyes as well.❤️❤️❤️
So many beautiful souls are struggling, it makes me sad to people hate what I think is a stunning miracle.
My boyfriend of 6 years loves it when I say I will be so wrinkly when I am older because he makes me laugh so much
Now that's poetry!!! very very well articulated
@@vivieneckert1627 he loves you and wants to grow old with you.
That thumbnail is INSANE.
Fr 💀💀
It scared the life out of me, her eyes are purple and her face is deformed
Over time, humans just want to be shaped more like the alien emoji
I didn't even notice till you guys said something. Rip💀
Bro its an edit she or anyone does not want to look like this@@Bubblereeds
Brett inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
I’m a 36 year old woman (high school teacher) with no work and I wear minimal makeup. I am astounded by the pressure facing the students I teach. It’s taken me a long time to embrace my natural self and I am so thankful that gen Z has ladies like you who are learning that earlier than later. Thank you for this.
When my daughter was a preteen, and wanting to start with makeup, I told her that makeup is fun. But it is important to be comfortable with her natural beauty. In her teens & early 20s, she'll be in the peak of her beauty. So, especially in her teens & 20s, she need to be comfortable with her natural beauty.
She was allowed lip gloss & nail polish until, maybe, 14, when she added mascara. But the mascara is just to dress up. Now atv15, she's asked to add more eye makeup, but just to dress up.
It's not about the makeup, but about being comfortable with who you are.
@@kathyp1563 I still enjoy eye shadow for the fun colors, not to reform my fundamental features. Makeup as fun, like wearing your favorite color shirt or comfortable pants, is safe. Makeup to hide behind is toxic.
These young girls being terror-stricken at the idea of aging is so heartbreaking. When I was their age the people I looked up to most were my grandmothers and their friends. Old women are honest, graceful, and hilarious. I wish I was more like them.
Also, Brett cooper looks stunning with minimal makeup and I'm glad to hear she's sticking to it.
I'm 41 years old. About a year ago, I was meeting up with several moms from my son's friend group. One of them was asking what our beauty regiments were and what work we have had done. I make sure I drink water, I wash my face every night. I use moisturizer and a vitamin c serum. Another mom made fun of me, saying I did too much and insinuating that I was vain. That same mom was in the hospital ER a month later because her fillers were infected. She never mentioned she had fillers when we talked. She was all natural as far as she was concerned. I'll stick with what I do, thank you very much.
Never let anyone bring you down as a 13 year old girl all of the women in these comments are inspirational, including you 💗💖🩷. I'm sure your kids are proud to be yours🎉
@@Michelle-cr2il Thank you! I'm very happy to hear that you are looking outside of society's anointed celebrities as role models. I can't imagine being 13 in today's world with all the messages being thrown your way about image/gender/sexuality/beauty/belief system/ family. I'm glad I grew up in the 90's, simplier times. I wish you the best as you navigate through these next years of adolescence. Oh, and my boys are proud of me. They tell me that some of the others moms look "creepy" with all of their treatments!
Sounds like karma got to her for you lol. Nah it sounds like a normal amount to make sure ur skin is healthy.
@@Michelle-cr2ilI wouldn't go running around saying ur age as a minor online. Lotta creeps out there.
Vitamin c serum doesn't do anything. Use bhaa
Aging gracefully is such a lost art. My mom and grandmother are some of my biggest roll models as far as aging. I watched my mom’s hair turn silver as I grew up and now I’m seeing it turn white. She’s never died her hair and rarely wears makeup. She wears her age (67) so beautifully and I would love to age just like her.
My hair started to turn silver at the age of 11, I'm not gonna hide it and I'm proud of it
My mother only ever dyed her hair once in her 60+ years - & she has less grey than her sister who's 5 years her junior.
As someone who has a terminal disease that most likely won’t make it to be in my 40s the lines I have on my face as a 31 year is a blessing and a gift showing you live!
Right on, Brett. When we got married (1984) my wife asked my opinion on makeup - not for the wedding, but for everyday life. I told her I didn't like makeup, so she wore it only on rare occasions. We were happily married until she died (28 years). Take it from me, girls: if he really likes you, he'll like you without makeup.
I was also married in 1984. I am so sorry for your loss, truly I am. I still have my wife. She also wears very little makeup, and not very often. We're getting old now and overweight but I still think she's beautiful, and I tell her regularly. Natural beauty is so much better. I don't like the look of a woman that had someone hit her in the mouth to give her fat lips. And don't get me even started on those with bowling ball butts. Gross!! The woman showing herself 'au naturale' is truly worth looking at.
My husband likes makeup on occasion, but I've never been a daily make up gal. I'm pretty sure I've gone nearly a year before without wearing any makeup and he's never complained. He still calls me beautiful. And he hates it caked on. On anyone. We'll be married 8 years in a few months 😊
This is very true. One day I was sitting on the bed in comfy, cleaning the house, type of clothes, my hair was a mess, and I'm big pregnant and sweaty. and ,I forget what I said, but my husband stopped and looked at me and told me how pretty I looked...
I told him, "You must really love me because I know I look a hot mess right now" 😂
I highly dislike makeup and don’t wear it but i’m not confident in myself neither. I’m slowly working on my confidence but it’s a struggle when everyone is so dang pretty. my husband loves my natural face and that i don’t wear makeup even if im not always confident in myself.
Well, now it's 1984 in a different way..
I really admire that Brett is going to change the way she does her makeup in videos because of this episode. It shows that she's willing to show what she believes in her actions, not just her speech, and that she is also willing to change. We need more women like Brett.
Yes she’s a wonderful role model to young women!
Natural Brett is always better
she is so so beautiful inside and out
I immediately noticed the change in makeup between her default studio and her home studio and was happy to see it. We desperately need to normalize natural. Anything else is unhealthy. These beauty products and procedures are exploiting insecurities to make money.
Theres another UA-camr, Misha Petrov who has talked about this and has been wearing less makeup in her videos. Looking natural and healthy is a really great look.
"Aging is a gift that so many people do not get to experience. And being here in this body, being uniquely you and individual... is also a gift. And we've forgotten that." I needed to hear that 😅 Thanks Brett. And your editors nailed this with the GIFs omg 😂
Let’s completely ignore societies unfair expectations for women to not wrinkle.
but girls love getting botox tho
26 YO male here. That natural blonde woman is literally gorgeous. She definitely got blessed as far as genetics go. Her putting it out there that she looks THAT GOOD without doing anything probably doesn't help others self esteem lol. But anyone saying she isn't just super pretty is insane.
I was so scared of aging until my grandma was diagnosed with cancer. When she first got her diagnosis, she told me not to be sad for her, because she's lived such a full life. At that moment I saw aging for the gift it truly is. I look forward to growing old with my husband. ❤
As a young man in his mid 20's I am worried about finding a woman that doesn't subscribe to these over the top beauty standards. It feels like this type of woman is getting more rare as the years go on even at churches I can see it and its frustrating.
As a married 37 year old woman (I met my husband on eHarmony in 2013 and married in 2015), I just want to share with you that I changed a lot when I met my husband. He was and is a great influence on me and has made me (and continues to make me) a better person than I was before. Don’t look for the diamond - look for the unpolished stone with potential. If too much make up is one of her few flaws, you can convince her that she is more beautiful without or with less. If she’s getting botox or fake nails, she can be convinced to stop (those luxuries are expensive). People shouldn’t stay the same - they should grow and change with their partner. Best of luck to you - I know you’ll find your person. ❤
In Korea and Thailand, good luck. Their plastic surgery look very natural until you have a child. But the thing is everyone started to look the same anyway.
Take your time to look....the world is big and their are over 190 other countries out there
For real
@@sethmiller3882~ my sons are 27 and 29. They are focusing on their careers as well, but they still hang out with friends and have fun. We currently live in California, born and raised, but we are moving to the Midwest. Both of my boys, young men, hope to meet natural women after wet move, no fillers, or fake parts. Women that have a Godly love with strong family values. Hopefully they are able to find that. It has become like a rare breed of woman. I also hope other young men out there are able to find an honest hearted good woman as well. Hold out until you find the one.
It’s absolutely insane that nobody loves their bodies anymore! The one thing my mother has ALWAYS taught me is to BE ME and not try to be anybody else! And she always told me that makeup is to enhance the natural beauty ❤❤
Brett inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally

As a guy I agree with your mom a woman with just the right amount of makeup can make her beauty go to hot levels. Eating good, taking care of themselves, and keeping active is more important than anything. The natural curves of a woman in good health is very beautiful, even if she is 50+. How they wear there hair can make a women look older or younger as well.
This is turning out to be an episode from Dr. Who with the last Human to exist, watching the Earth do something, I can't remember why, but the "human" in this episode was a piece of skin stretched across a frame. The future of humans are not far off.
My mother always told me don't wear this, don't go out without makeup, your complexion is not that perfect, your're don't have long legs and so on. On the other hand she praised me on my real beauty "assets", those that I did have and do have. It was hard core truth, no sugar coating, she meant well, she loved me - don't get me wrong, it wasn't like putting me down or something. I grew up understanding that I'm not a natural beauty and never will be, and this is not a tragedy. I concentrated on my health rather than beauty, and on my family, friends and career. It bore good fruit. So I get it, I really do when girls and yound women want to "rectify" a little bit of this and a little bit of that. If I was very young I would certainly go for botox, fillers you name it. It is just that I'm old enough to know better and I worked on myself a lot.
💯! I don't even know how to use makeup 😆
I’m 33 and am surrounded by gorgeous women and constantly have to remind myself that what’s on the inside is infinitely more important. I rarely wear makeup and even when I do, it’s minimal and natural looking so that it’s not shocking to anyone seeing me with/without it. I have skin issues. I had very thick brows that are now thinning due to health issues. I don’t meet society’s beauty standards but my husband is always the first to say that I’m beautiful and perfect and has helped me deal with my self-image a lot. He’s watched me change from the young 20 year old to the 33 year old mother. I never would have had work done anyway but my self esteem wouldn’t be as bolstered if not for him and I am so thankful for his constant reminders that I am naturally beautiful and any signs of aging are a gift. I do wish that I could do something about my skin condition but as for everything else… I’m okay with not looking like a model or feeling like I need to change myself in order to feel beautiful for myself or my husband.
Your entire comment is one giant cope. Red flag number 1, you immediately start saying how you’re surrounded by gorgeous women and then say what’s on the inside is more important. Of course you’d say that, of course you imply you can’t have the inside and the outside, because you’re jealous and upset, and how do I know this? Because you end with rambling about your skin condition and how you don’t even meet society’s standards.
Hi dear do you have tsw? I did and lost my eyebrow thickness.. just curious. Xxxx
@@EnergySerenity something with similar symptoms to tsw… autoimmune disorder is the root cause.
Most men, myself included, wouldn't go near a woman who's had cosmetic surgery. Not only is it ugly externally, but it's clearly a sign of severe body dysmorphia. Natural always.
I am the same age as Brett. I started wearing makeup at 13 and stopped wearing it entirely at 20.
The ammount of comments I get from other girls, younger and older, who are genuinley concerned that I don't want to wear it, even for "nice dinners" and "when photos will be taken" is alarming. I haven't suddenly become unfeminine, I'm not lacking all care for getting ready and presenting myself, I'm not entirely without self pride, I just stopped wearing makeup I didn't enjoy wearing. If you enjoy wearning makeup because it's a fun process for you, that's great. If you are one of those incredibly talented people who can paint literal minature artwork on their eyelids, credit where credit due. But makeup, and anything else cosmetic beyond basic and proper hygiene, is not an inherant need.
Thank you Brett ❤
Society has got so incredibly shallow. I was chatting to this young guy on Instagram. Nothing in it at all. I’m literally old enough to be his mum. He’s the same age as my oldest nephew 21 and he told me no young girl will chat to him because everybody tells him how ugly he is . one of the first things he said to me was do you think I’m ugly and honest to God it broke my heart Because I never went round, when I was younger, telling other people they were ugly. It’s such an awful thing to do to someone how it affects their entire life. This young lad who reminded me of my nephew seemed so incredibly downtrodden and broken.
People are cruel
"Society" is a useless abstraction. What is happening is that a generation is effectively being raised on Instagram and Tiktok and this has already done permanent harm. Their parents have entirely failed to keep them from the proven harm of social media.
guess what, a lot of men already heard that while trying to connect with someone.
If you think it’s hard for him, imagine how difficult it is to be an ugly woman. At least men are valued for their personality
He sounds weak. I've been bullied for my looks all my life by men and have never dated a man but I don't care.
Hey, I’m a millennial, 31, and I have decided I want to age gracefully, so I am allowed my hair to come in white and not hide it, so far I have three beautiful hairs and can’t wait until I have more, I also take care of my skin and diet, nothing extraordinary, I have been through a very expensive skincare phase, now I realize simple is more than sufficient, mostly beef tallow and castor oil. Legit. I want to embrace my beauty at every age and stage! Let’s go back to natural beauty! Pre mask era I wore a full face of makeup every day, now, not so much. I wear makeup a few times a year now, I just bought some sheer foundation drops just for those days I want a slight touch of something to even out my skin tone. Let’s start a whole aging gracefully, rather than anti-aging, movement! Hoorah!
Amen to that!!
White hair is gorgeous. My granmother and all of my aunts have naturally white hair.. im looking forward to the day my blonde hair goes white so I can really look like Khalessi 😂
Nah, I'll fight against aging. I workout, live a reasonably healthy lifestyle, and I also get minimal work done like broadband light and Botox on my forehead and my 11's. In fact, I've been increasing my fight against aging, and increasing my stage 2 cardio and eating more vegetables. You think the physical and the aesthetic are different realms, but they're actually related. Those that look better tend to actually be heathier, and David Sinclair, a world researcher on aging, has spoken about it. Now I'm not saying to go out and get BBL's and get aggressive lip filler, because that's fake natural beauty. But you should age gracefully and you should fight against it.
Hey, I'm 19 and I think smile lines, wrinkles, scars, under eye bags are beautiful. They show that you have lived a very happy healthy life where you worked hard. I have acne scars and "big" pores and I have never thought of getting anything done to my face because I've accepted that this is the way my face looks and the scars are what makes it unique and 'mine'. As much as I think that we humans should be able to do whatever we want to our appearances to make ourselves happy, I also think that these unrealistic standards of tight skin, no scars, small nose, and big lips are totally subjective and no one should ever feel that they need to have them to feel beautiful. We are all pretty by our own standards, whether it be acne scars, wrinkles, a big nose, or smaller lips, those features are what makes us ourselves, and accepting and owning them makes us even more beautiful
P.s congratulations on your engagement!
Dear women, stop wearing makeup! You don't need it. I'm a 40 y/o guy. Drop the magazines and social media. If a guy falls for you when you're natural, you know he loves you for you. Don't let the guy fall in love with your makeup. Also, think of the time and money you'll save.
My wife is a natural beauty. She does not even wear makeup. She is my definition of beauty to me.
That's why she got a husband 👍
You are very fortunate.
My girlfriend is like that too, and I think she’s beautiful!
where do i find a husband like you
Same, my wife is a natural beauty! Always try to remind her, I forget sometimes!
A plastic surgeon's office had once hired me (a freelance videographer) to shoot and edit videos for them monthly. All was well but after a year, they started to see if I would do trade deals. They wanted me to continue but get paid with fillers and botox instead of money. I told them no thanks, I don't need that to be beautiful, I'm perfect the way I am. There was an awkwardness and then they happened to no longer need my services. 🤣 Zero regrets.
Good for you. Sounds like an unhealthy environment.
You absolutely did the right thing by sticking to your principles.
Love this, you did gracefully.
I'm a 16 year old guy and this topic kinda hit close to me 'cause all the girls my age do exactly this they wear pounds of makeup and it's honestly sad that people genuinely think this way, and to any girl that is reading this the one thing i've found in common with my guy friends and what we look for in a girl it's that not one of us gives a shit about makeup or if you look dolled up most of us tend to avoid those girls too, you're more beautiful when you stop caring about how you look and when you just enjoy life more.
Bro believe me, this isn't about dudes they are doing it for other women they are in a competition with one another to see who can the most beautiful
They really should care what the men think too though… if they ever care to have one of their own… I’ve been married for almost 17 years now and one of the very main things my husband always told me he looked for in a future wife was a girl who was naturally pretty even without makeup. He wanted to wake up next to a girl who looked the same first thing in the morning as she did during the day.
It’s like they think they’re living in the Victorian era.
Love this!!! I'm 41 and aging. AND LOVING IT.
It’s crazy that I’m prettier than you and literally 13
@@Jade_heartt why is that crazy?
“Aging is a gift”
That really hit hard.
33 and no Botox, fillers, cosmetic surgery of any kind, I only wear eyeshadow sometimes and don’t ever cake on other makeup.
Edit: oh crap I’m not 33, I’m 32.
Don’t worry, we all forget sometimes
Honestly eyeliner, mascara and lipstick is all you really need. That's how the women in the 50s and 60s did their makeup and they looked beautiful and elegant
Extra year of life!
I’m also 33 and 100% natural. Looking at photos from when I was 22 and I don’t look much different at all.
These women are going to regret it when they get into their 40’s and beyond because they are going to look so freaking weird once the natural aging process starts becoming noticeable. They won’t age normally and will look like freaks.
LEVEL 32! We grow wiser as we level up. I'm a level 36, haven't ever, and I don't plan on ever getting any face work done.
I’m the oldest gen z (26 years old) and it’s so sad to see people so hateful and fearful of aging. It’s all around me. My younger sibling and young friends are getting Botox and freaking out and it’s shocking. Im finally at the place where I’m starting to accept getting older. I want to age gracefully and I don’t want to pump toxic chemicals into my body in order to stay “youthful.” I spend time at the nursing home and just listen to my 96 year old mentor Charlotte teach me about history, God, and her life. And I find her to be one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. She has inspired me to care less about looking old and more about my loved ones, God, and making the most of the time I have. I now see my eye wrinkles as a prize because not everyone gets the chance to age. I would be so lucky to get to grow as old and wise as Charlotte.❤
We're the same age, and I've never understood why people hate the idea of getting older. People are terrified of having wrinkles and scars, but to me, they're reminders of laughter, reminders of the silly things we did as kids, and reminders that tragic things can happen to us, BUT WE SURVIVED. Our scars and wrinkles and imperfections tell the stories of our lives - they tell of how we've lived.
I understand people who occasionally wear makeup to enhance their natural features, and I understand getting botox to prevent headaches and medical issues, but I wish people wouldn't try to hide themselves behind it all.
I’m in a similar position/thought as you 25 year old…seeing people I know get Botox is crazy to me…like I usually only wear Maskcara and eyeliner for the day. My only issue is my hormonal acne right before my period lol.
people fearful because of the unrealistic and stupid beauty standards society force onto people.
@@gloriathomas3245 Social media and the Kardashian women have made it worse!
It is crazy how girls in their 20s think that once they hit 30 they are old. That is why they freak out. They think that once you turn 30 your body starts to fall apart lol. I am 31 and people always think I am between 18-23 years old. You will look young if you take care of yourself.
thank you so much for talking about this & being open about your own connections to the topic!!
I am about to be 42. Bombarded by billboards of plastic surgeons and med-spas advertising the fillers. I am happy to look at my face aging. I always wanted to be "older". Now I am. And when insecurities surface, reminding myself it is a gift to be myself and not look like everyone else. I don't wear makeup and have many sun freckles and lines. Happily married for 20 years. Learning that defeating those insecurities is a daily thing but so worth it. 😊
i love how brett is willing to change the amount of makeup she wears just to stay true to the opinions she shares on the show. she’s such a beautiful woman and a great inspiration for other young women!
Brett's idea of avoiding tattooed makeup "on principle" is absurd. If she wears makeup to change her appearance to help her out in life, she does not get to say that.
@@selohcinsounds like someone hit a sore spot.😁
What’s the point of this if we don’t address the root cause? Men shame women for aging and usually pick the women with the most make up.
@@ktrimbach5771 I'm a man. I have no stake in this game. I just call out stupid, hypocritical arguments when I see them, and this is a stupid, hypocritical stance.
I'm looking forward to seeing it. I think it's wonderful. Brett is such a gorgeous young woman. The way that much of the under 40 crowd tends to wear their makeup these days just washes away all of their uniqueness, leaving everyone as just a bland imitation of one another. Nobody stands out, least of all those who are trying desperately to do just that.
I HATE all this fake shit. ESPECIALLY with young people. WTF?!
The lip filler and botox are the worst.
Same❤ It's because they are online too much. Looking at fakeness for hours and hours normalized it
I love this video so much! It is very needed in our world today. I am 37 years old and have sworn to never do anything unatural to myself. It took me years of insecurities and low self esteem to get to the point where I am happy to just be me, thanks to a world that is constantly telling girls that they need to be “perfect”. It’s scary that girls are having so much work done at such a young age… have none of them seen what the older celebrities look like now after so many years of work? They are SCARY! It’s not a good look. I have learned to embrace my natural aging, even down to vowing never to dye my hair (the thought of having to “touch up my grays” and re-die it constantly for the next 40 years is NOT appealing to me!) and have even come to like the silvery sparkles in my dark hair. I hope more and more young women will see your video (and the positive ones on Tik Tok) and change their minds about destroying their beautiful bodies this way.
Adored this video. I have never been a daily makeup user; though recently I started wearing basic CC cream and a lip color on Sundays, and every once in a while on a random day just for fun. I live in Korea, and it can sometimes be a bit intimidating to be the only makeup-free late-twenties woman in sight (especially with some scarring from pimples clear on my face), but I’ve always preferred the convenience of being makeup-free (such a time saver) and it makes the times when I do wear makeup more fun and special.
My favorite K-drama called My ID is Gangnam Beauty touches on some of these topics regarding plastic surgery; while I would not be surprised if some (most?) of the actors have gotten some sort of cosmetic surgery, and so watching a story that challenges the importance of physical beauty as opposed to inner beauty may not deliver quite the same impact when all the actors look so beautiful, the story was still really refreshing.
Thank you Brett for speaking about this topic! Im 24 and almost all the girls I know already have done something to their face (mainly fillers), and its so sad…
Also, people get angry when I point out that we should work on our insecurities first instead of just putting chemicals in our bodies - CRAZY!!
No one in their 20s should ever be worrying about aging, we're still all so young. So sad they felt the pressure to change what wasn't wrong to begin with.

@@davidchambers44exactly like have I been living under a rock I didn't know this was a common concern for such young people until about a week ago. I'm scared of aging bc I don't want to develop dementia and other health issues and have my loved ones die all aroud me but they act like wrinkles are the fear factor like what
@@NickThillerding ding ding, exactly why it became popular. Selling
YES to the light makeup! You look sooooo much friendlier and beautiful with this light makeup. I personally hace felt the heavier makeup contrasts your fair completion while this light makeup only enhances your skin and natural features! Also love your commitment to practice what you preach!!!❤
Light makeup won’t work on me if I wanna cover up my blemishes while looking natural. I would still need color corrector, concealer and contour powder since I have a round face, discoloration, dark circles and a wide rounded nose. But of course, I won’t consider PS because I’m scared of knives touching my face
The extreme narcissism of more and more young women makes them not accept aging.
I can't imagine what they all gonna do on their face when they are 30, 40...
Like i have so many acne scars on my face and and i don’t cover them up personally, i want to show people i struggle too and you’re beautiful the way you are!
When Brett spoke about how she wasn’t wearing as heavy makeup as normal, and how it made her feel more like herself, I instantly smiled. At the beginning of the video I noticed that she looked very pretty, even more than usual. When she said that it was eye opening and showed that you don’t need heavy makeup to be drop dead gorgeous, like Brett. Thank you for being such a role model to young girls like myself, keep it up, Brett.
I can't speak for all men, but I definitely prefer natural over all this fake stuff. If somebody had fillers and Botox and all that crap, I can tell, it looks unnatural, abnormal even. Same goes for boobs. Natural small boobs are far more attractive to me than giant fake ones.
My advice, as always, in every aspect of life... Just be your authentic self, you'll be happier
Same Here. This girl truly defines Natural Beauty
@@kevin9218As a girl who’s half heartedly saddened by having small boobs, this cheered me up a bit.
To me, she looks even more like Snow White without the makeup. So much prettier, brighter and refreshed. The makeup kind of makes her look weird, especially the more recent looks.
@@kevin9218I'm the same way, in fact I don't usually date women that have tons of makeup on. And just my preference, but I don't think it looks as attractive.
My best friend died at 22 years old. I learned when I was way too young that growing older is a privilege denied to many. I will wear that aging privilege with pride! I rarely even wear make-up. I actually wish I looked my age. I still get carded even though I’m 30 with 4 kids. I actually hate it because I’m so proud of and grateful for my age, I want to look it!
30 with four kids, well done! 👍
LOL
You look your age to me.
The problem is, when women wear makeup, they're shamed for being too ugly. And when they wear makeup, they get shamed for being fake. Men need to realize that not all women look like Elizabeth Olsen without makeup and to stop holding such unrealistic standards.
I agree 💯, men need to realize that it's not easy to look good . We're pressured to either wear makeup or not. It's insane
How is this men's fault? I thought women did all of that for themselves and other women

YES TO DOING YOUR OWN MAKEUP FOR YOUR WEDDING 🙌🏽💖 I heard a lot of girls regret getting theirs professionally done before I got married and it was the best decision of my life. I still felt like me on the day and most importantly, looked like me in all our photos!
Brett, again congratulations on your wedding. I am a 25 yo woman and got married last October. I also did my own makeup, because any artists will cake it on so thick you will feel like you are wearing a mask. You don’t want to wear a mask to your own wedding.
The best thing I can say about cosmetic surgery is that when you are are older and your parents pass away, you will want your dad's forehead wrinkles and your mother's nose. Every single thing that you feel insecure about, you will want it when you grow into your features. It is a permanent testament to where you came from and your genetic history. I lost my dad just a few days ago and it is a heavy loss. I would not botox away a single one of the forehead wrinkles he passed on to me.
I’m 40 and people usually mistake me for ~30 which is always nice to hear 😊 I never had any work done and seeing all these young girls in their 20’s saying that they need Botox and fillers and once they are my age they will look ~50 is so sad! Aging is a gift 🎁 not everyone gets to experience it!
Brett, I’m 23 and felt this to my core. Thank you. I want my daughters to see me age gracefully, and for my sons to know that perpetual youth in a woman isn’t something attainable or desirable. Aging is truly a gift. Thank you.
If you don't program your brain on ARTIFICIAL FAKE faces you wouldn't even worry. The Internet changes perception of reality.
Do you already have a baby girl?
When my daughter was a preteen, she asked to wear makeup. I told her make-up is fun, but it is very important to be comfortable with your natural beauty. I told her we'd add makeup in stages. At first, she was allowed nail polish & lip gloss. Then she added mascara, but not day-to-day only When she dressed nice.
At 14, she went to winter formal & wanted fake eye lashes. My husband & I were honest about our opinion--they look stupid. But I let her have modest ones, for just the formal, not normal dressing up.
She's an athlete & hangs with athletes- cross country & track. Such girls wear less makeup on the day to day.
What does age gracefully even mean to y’all - not putting any effort into self presentation because Botox is scary 😂
@@srams443 aging gracefully? Healthy joints, bones, muscles, brain. I want to be able to get up from the floor at 95. I want a keen mind, a pleasant personality. I want a social life--friends & family.
I'm not interested in competing with my daughter, or future daughter-in-law, or future grand daughters, with my looks or general attention.
@@kathyp1563 and because you have a nice personality the rest of us are supposed to celebrate your lack of self-care and pretend NOT using enhancements is some great accomplishment?
Might as well stop brushing your hair and wear a potato sack, because god forbid you try to look younger.
The stupidest, cringiest, unironically the most body-positive and feminist video conservative right produced in a while.
So true, been talking about this with people I know and it’s so sad. Seeing the silver threads that pop up in my hair make me happy, and proud because I lived long enough to receive them. Something my bio family women didn’t get to experience much, especially my sister. As I get older I fell better, stronger and more confident, maybe my “prime” (whatever the hell that means) is over, but I’m so much happier!
I love this, I'm 22 and I stopped wearing makeup completely over a year ago. It's been so mentally freeing, not to mention it saves hours of my life every week and hundreds of dollars per year. At first I was nervous that executives wouldn't take me seriously at work, guys wouldn't find me attractive, etc., but it's really had the opposite effect. I don't think I'll ever go back to wearing makeup ever again, even for my wedding (and I wouldn't dream about getting work done). It's nice to just look myself in the mirror and know that's me - that's how I always look no matter what.
Ppl have been saying for years that make-up just makes ppl look fake and insecure. The back-lash to it is so huge. It's almost like there is a multi-billion billion dollar industry making dang sure ppl keep feeling forced to buy their products.
I also hate wearing makeup 😊
@@Sumaima183Same. I had friends put makeup on me twice back in high school (13+ years ago) and didn’t understand the reason for it. I love being makeup free, but I get why other women enjoy it or feel not themselves without it.
I’m actually really excited about your decision to wear less makeup! I’m a 24-yr-old woman, and I’ve been noticing that the makeup they do on you has been really heavy. I love how radiant you look without it, and I feel like I can FEEL when you feel more like yourself. I support!!
I am in my late 20s and I saw how self esteem plummeted for women across the board with the use of Instagram and other social media platforms. I also have to admit this is kind of the fault of its users too. I am guilty of falling into the trap myself. I think social media is dangerous because of how it makes everyone else seem so much prettier or happier than you and it creates an overall lack then here comes Shapewear and fillers to the rescue to make you exactly what you are not. It’s really sad. I am glad I got to enjoy a childhood without these platforms shoved in my face but I do feel like a victim to them because of their prominence in my teens and early 20s. In order to love yourself, discipline is a huge factor! I had to be disciplined enough to not look at certain things and not feed into the negative thought loops about myself. None of it is really about appearances but internal lack and the void we all face. I get that some people just don’t want wrinkles and just want whiter teeth but I think that our insecurities are making a lot of people wealthy. Idk. I just think we all need to do some soul searching. Sending love to you all.
Im happy someone is covering this. Since I was 10 years old (Im 28 now) Ive had a crippling fear of aging
I'm 30 years old and before this last year I had worked in the Spa and Beauty industry since 2015. I've been surrounded by this type of stuff for years and up until I left the industry I never realized how much it affected me. Now that I am home and focused on my husband and kids I hardly wear any makeup anymore. I save it for "special occasions," and I don't remember the last time I colored my hair. Honestly, my husband prefers me no makeup and my natural hair. Since I'm not surrounded by all of the products and serums anymore I've saved a ton of money. I haven't seen a huge difference between my skin before with all of the products and facials and what it looks like now. I'm very happy I've left it all behind.
If your tiny little picture on the side there is you, you look pretty.
That's amazing
Yes, those expensive products don’t make a huge difference, go simple and natural with your skincare
Honestly I needed this episode. I've looked at all of these influences with work done and wanted it. Just yesterday I was telling my husband I want a boob reduction and veneers after we were done having kids. I have never wanted to dye my hair, but this past week I've thought about. I've wanted my lashes lifted and dyed, and I wanted injections under my eyes so they wouldn't be so dark. I am a very young mother, I won't say how young because I'm tired of being chastised for it, but for the first time since having my baby I looked in the mirror and felt beautiful. You reminded me that my body in its natural state is a gift. My engorged, saggy boobs, my under eye bags, my stomach and thighs full of stretch marks, my greasy messy hair, and all of the other flaws I've been stressing over, are all because of the most precious thing that has happened to me. I feel like a beautiful mother whose body is worth much more than just looks. I'm reminded of how my body has given me a beautiful life and a beautiful baby. Thank you for giving me a reality check, Brett. God knew I needed to hear this right now.😊
16 days postpartum here and with you in solidarity with the engorged yet saggy boobies that _amazingly_ nourish our babies!!!
I’ve had 7 babies-not bragging but just here to support and encourage-stay natty as the gym bros say
Nursing and nutrition will age you gracefully
I have a 24.5in waist because of nursing and nutrition

Work with Mother Nature not against Her
@raeannaroylance5401 Nursing has definitely helped me shed a lot of weight, but I need to work on staying active. It's hard when my baby is so clingy.😆 My waist is basically the same except for the fact it is heavily covered in stretch marks.🤣
I am the same age as Brett. I stopped wearing makeup at 20, and the ammount of comments I get from other girls, younger and older, who are genuinley concerned that I don't want to wear it, even for "nice dinners" and "when photos will be taken" is alarming. I haven't suddenly become unfeminine, I'm not lacking all care for getting ready and presenting myself, I'm not entirely without self pride, I just stopped wearing makeup I didn't enjoy wearing. For 7 years I wore it simply because it felt like a basic necessity. If you enjoy wearning makeup because it's a fun process for you, that's great. If you are one of those incredibly talented people who can paint literal minature artwork on their eyelids, credit where credit is due. But makeup, and anything else cosmetic beyond basic and proper hygiene, is not an inherant need.
Thank you Brett ❤
LOVE THIS! Exactly what we need to hear. PREACH GIRL 🔥
14 years old, i can happily say that i will never justify cosmetic surgery. My mother is frechled with red hair and 42. She is still the most beautiful person I've ever met. With every wrinkle and dark spot, you know you have had a joyous life. Keep it up brent love you so much. You are the voice of young women breaking away from the narrative. ❤❤❤
I really resonated with that last statement about getting your makeup done and not feeling like yourself. I got mine done for my Highschool graduation party and told the makeup artist that I wanted the makeup to consist of colors that suited my skintone and enhanced my natural beauty. I wanted to use the experience of getting my makeup done professionally to my advantage and incorporate the tips and tricks I would learn into my makeup routine. Instead, I got unflattering makeup that didn’t make me feel like myself, let alone feel pretty. Everyone told me I looked pretty, but I didn’t feel pretty. It was the typical brown girl makeup style with the same colors and brows, which didn’t suit me, as I have a very young looking face (I look to be anywhere from 12-16, with 16 being when I wear makeup lol). I felt so much prettier the next day, despite the fact that I broke out in hives all over my face and neck (seriously, I’m already brown, I don’t know why she put foundation on my neck) and my sensitive skin was so agitated due to her unsanitary practices. I put on my “everyday” natural makeup and felt prettier than I did the day before.
I don’t think makeup is a bad thing, it boosts confidence (and hides my lack of sleep sometimes lol), but I think it is misused by a lot of women, thus actually causing their confidence to dwindle as they hide behind their full face.
Exactly! The artistic expression of it.
Some of the foundation products out there will cause breakout cycles that women may be trying to hide.
I'm a month younger than Brett, and have forming smile lines, and a gray hair that popped up when I was 19. I love having a gray hair, it makes me feel like the stressful life expreiences I've gone through were worth it for who I am now. Same for having smile lines forming. They're proof that I truly enjoy tbe good times of my life when they come.
My mom has the most beautiful silver hair and she’s had it all my life, so my hair going silver never bothered me in the slightest. It gave me something to look forward too. Ive never understood the horror behind people’s thinking on aging.
This is some conservative Christian version of “fat is beautiful”. No, your gray hair at the age of 19 and your smile lines are evidence that you don’t put any effort into self presentation.
I am 37. When I was younger I used to pull out the gray hairs with tweezers, until I realized if I kept doing that I would eventually have no hair left! 😂 now I have just a hint of silver highlights along the sides when I pull my hair up. My husband actually loves it. We call them my “sparkly hairs”. He is also graying on the sides and in his beard… not gonna lie, I think he is more attractive as he ages. 😊
@@cozychristiancottage imagine hair dye being a thing
@srams443 Yeah because genetics don’t exist…
Thank you for covering this topic! It has been weighing on my head and heart a lot lately. I've feared aging for so long. I'm 26, and have been obsessing over anti-aging for the past decade.
But, as each year passes, I'm becoming more in tune and in love with who I am, not how I look. Keep up the realness 🦋.
Bring back natural beauty!!
100% I had social media from 12-19, I was hyper obsessed with my appearance, anti-aging and wearing full face (every item of makeup I could have I would even if it didn't seem like I needed it, eyeshadow primer, brow tint etc) of makeup (while being so scared of my partner seeing me without makeup that I would wear makeup to bed). I think the problem is that this is all manufactured, creating insecurities and inferiority complexes, constantly comparing yourself to what is promoted on social media, where these people are surgically altered or photoshopped, then you feel bad for not already looking like that without the surgery or photoshop. People get stuck where the algorithm promotes that over and over and you lose touch on reality. I know this is going to sound dumb but I didn't even realize it until after I cut out social media, just randomly looking around while waiting in line at a pharmacy, but no one looks like a supermodel. Everyone just looks normal, people are just living their lives. No one looks like these hypersexualized perfect instagram models, no one cares that I don't look like an instagram model, my partner never told me I had to look that way, no one around me has ever told me I had to look that way, no one has ever told me I am less than for not looking that way, I don't need surgery, I don't need all of this makeup... an algorithm promoted manufactured/surgical or digital altered beauty, it's constantly being promoted, if it's put in front of your face all of the time, you are going to think it's real, you are going to compare, creating a manufactured inferiority complex or insecurity. Comparing your butt to photoshop (where the creator admitted to photoshop), comparing your boobs to implants, thinking you need a hairline surgery, expensive skincare routines and facials, a special straw that prevents wrinkles... when all of it keeps you in a toxic cycle where you think you aren't or never will be good enough. Getting plastic surgery is fine, if its for one or two things you genuinely are insecure about, but it shouldn't be because you are comparing yourself to a unrealistic representation (i'm not going to call it a standard, because really, who other than the algorithm or social media is asking you to look like an unrealistic model who has plastic surgery, your friends and family probably aren't) promoted by an algorithm.
Natural beauty gets confused with treating yourself poorly. You don't wear sunscreen for 10 years and you end up with premature wrinkles, is that natural? Yeah, and plenty of people say "oh I'm aging gracefully" or some such nonsense, but imagine if you applied sunscreen every day, you'd not only look better but you'd have reduced your chances of cancers, particularly decades in the future. David Sinclair, a world researcher in aging at Harvard, has spoken about how the aesthetic is related to how healthy you are. People who look good for their age tend to actually be healthier. Don't be apathetic to aging, you should aggressively fight against it, and those that workout and live a healthy lifestyle, look better and are generally healthier.
Got married last year, and my husband has told me so many times that one thing about me that really stood out to him, was that I didn’t wear makeup. That made a huge first impression on him, and before he even knew me it told him a lot about my character. Who would have thought a girl could get a guy’s attention by NOT dolling herself up? So ladies, look for that one of a kind guy who will appreciate you for who you are and not how perfect your face is! 😉
Yeah I don't believe that he told you that "many times" that didn't happen 😂
@@Bummerdrummer463 I don’t wear makeup and didn’t when my husband and I were first dating either and he also has told me this same thing “so many times”. Just because some men wouldn’t doesn’t mean all men wouldn’t.

Natural appearance is far more attractive than a woman putting on an artificial face just to look "pretty".
At least in my opinion.
I prefer natural beauty over artificial beauty.
I prefer it for many reasons, simplest of which is that it shows a lot about someone's character before you even get to know them.
I have always been a guy who prefers women who don’t wear makeup. Sure sometimes it looks good like on fancy occasions, but women who have to cake their face for an hour before they leave the house, no thanks. Waste of money and vanity in my eyes.
Edit: for all the women arguing with me, I actually mean NO makeup, not stuff that matches their skin tone or highlights their features or etc. Believe it or not, there are women who do not wear makeup except during certain occasions and they still look beautiful. Contrary to what you ladies think, us guys can tell when you have "just a little bit of makeup" vs clean/washed makeup-free face.
My mother gets so confused sometimes at work because heir coworkers compliment her looks when she *doesn't* wear makeup, the harsh truth is that most people who wants a woman to wear makeup are either the few male jerks, or other women
Brett inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
Most men think like you.
I hear a lot of guys say that, but I think a lot of guys who say this really prefer natural looking makeup. Not a full glam “cake face”, but in this video, Brett is wearing lipstick, blush, foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, likely mascara and eyeliner.
As a girl, I do think that women and girls can be GORGEOUS without any makeup, but I do have to say that I think the majority of girls and women still look amazing with the toned down makeup look that I think many men would assume is wearing no makeup
It makes sense. If I saw a man put clay and other crap on his face to look more masculine, or change his entire face, I would think it looks weird too.
I’ve been watching your videos literally since you posted your first vid. And. Actually was talking to my sisters last week how your using a moot of makeup more often and you were starting to look like a 30 yr old rather then in your early to mid 20s and I felt bad and was scared that maybe you were insecure. I’m so glad you’re going back to your more natural looks. You are so freaking gorgeous. Your fiancé is lucky😌
Good for you! When I saw your first episode at home, I thought that you looked lovely and I was happy when you said you did your own makeup! You look great and don't need much makeup.
Nothing more creepy than a plastic smile with no dimples
It's funny, dating in the current market place, when you come across a girl who "hasn't had work done" it is beyond refreshing.
Most women haven't had work done. Where do you live LA?
Wow! Thank you for shedding light on this. I have two daughters and want to help navigate this subject. ❤
I'm soon turning 20 and have never worn make up or anything like that. My face looks a bit used but that's life. It shows that live can be tough and beautiful. It is part of us, just like scars are part of us!
And I'm glad, that where I live I can live a perfect life without makeup!
Thank you for talking about this, I'm 16 and I see people around me all the time who are deathly afraid of getting older and becoming "less pretty." I've always thought smile lines and wrinkles were just as pretty as smooth, young skin. It shows that you've lived. It shows your humanity. And I don't think that's a bad thing at all. For anyone reading this, I sincerely hope that you can appreciate your own beauty, and I'll be praying for all of you guys 😁♥️🙏
I love how you look in these recent videos. Your natural beauty shines.
I'm soo glad you made this video Brett. I'm 26 and I never got into makeup or skin care and I always get made fun of by friends and family for that!
Love this! I also did my own makeup (and hair) for my wedding and it was definitely the move.
As a 38 year old who doesn’t wear much makeup and is flat chested, getting wrinkles, etc. I struggle hard with how common it is for everyone to get fillers and surgery and veneers. I am too paranoid about what I put in and on my body to have anything done, and luckily my husband would never approve of me doing anything. He does not even like makeup. However, I just always have this overwhelming feeling that I can’t keep up with the beauty standards. Thanks for this episode!
I'm sure your husband married you for you. Most men (myself included) I know are not into a lot of makeup. Why would you want to compete with phonies who most likely are miserable that will be even more miserable when their looks fade.
Same. I’m also 38, and sometimes I’m tempted to imagine what I could look like if I could spend more time and money on my appearance. But like you, my husband would never want me to do any of that (although he does like me in makeup), and I could never live with myself if I spent money on Botox and fillers when I could be using it instead for my kids or something else important.
The sad thing about these young people is that they are becoming enslaved to their appearance and youthfulness, so when time eventually catches up with them they will suffer so much more than those who have lived a freer life, unfettered by the constant need to obsess over what they look like.
@@claudetherabbit thank you for sharing that. That’s so true.
Im 16 and I'm glad that I'm surrounded by the people that have these same view points(family) and I know as we get older we can be scared for the change in our appearance. But honestly, I'mexcited . The teenage 'look' is temporary because its a phase in life that only last for what, 10 years? And I'm happy to embrace the aged difference in my late twenties. Also one of the best things you can do for skin health is stop stressing so much. Which is ironic because so much of this generation is STRESSED to look younger. Not to mention the physical stress you're inflicting on your body by getting these unnecessary, unnatural, and toxic procedures that 99% of the time aren't needed. If we just love ourselves and see the purpose of our life outside of vanity and materialistic things, we can enjoy our life so much more.
You’re on a great path, you’re admittedly 16, and so insightful.
Girl same! I’m almost 17 and I can’t believe people our age are doing these things 😔
Great to see this! Coming from a another 16 yr old
I for one, am excited to see my face change with age. I've been struggling with acne for years, with no sign of it getting any better. I will take smile lines, and my natural freckles back please and thank you.
You are the voice I needed to hear when I was 22. I am so thankful that young women have you.
I’ve always admired Brett’s makeup looks in the studio, but this natural light makeup suits her so well and makes her literally glow✨definitely needed to hear this message as a woman

Absolutely amazing video 🩷 thank you so much for spotlighting this, has really brought me “back to reality” on beauty standards and the importance of natural beauty🌸🌸
I’m 32 years old and I’m so grateful that I grew up in a time when cell phones were just beginning to come out when I was in high school. The only people I compared myself where girls in my class. I cannot imagine seeing all these images all the time, no wonder young women these days struggle so much with self-esteem
People need to realize they are not always going to be as pretty as others might, that is the real issue. Pretty people are allowed to be online and exist, people need to stop comparing themselves to others.
I genuinely think your makeup looks so nice (and better) than the studio makeup, not just saying that. Especially some of your recent vids, it was starting to get real cakey/not look like you. You look naturally beautiful here!
Love how you approached this ❤
The issue is too much time online.
I am 33, no work done, I have no fear of being out in the world makeup free- I no longer tame my eyebrows, and guess what? I feel better in my skin now as I did when I was in my early 20's and obsessed with the way the world viewed me, insecure about who I even was at that age. And guess what? I'm treated normally by the world, I still feel like I could attract the men I'd want to if I was single, although I'm happily with the same man I was with since i was 19, and guess what? He's still as attracted to me now as he was as my young youthful self. Aging is a privilege, lines are normal, I didn't grow up looking at older women in my life in disgust, so why suddenly are these young women scared looking like someone who's only 28..... which is still so incredibly young.... what a warped view these young girls have, it is so, so sad.
What a toxic environment social media is and makes women feel. Thankful to be raising a daughter, without the inward hate of my outer appearance, because I look at her, and see the perfection that she is, and it would literally break my heart if she wanted to change anything about herself.
35 here and have had no work done outwardly but have worked hard on myself inwardly the past 20 years. The advantage of working inward instead of outward is you build actual confidence that you can never lose as you age. Those that get so much work done on their appearance is signaling to themselves and the world that they care deeply about what others think about them, even on a superficial level. I might not be the prettiest bird, but I am the freest 😊❤️.
It also means they think that is all they have to offer the world. I have scars from stupid behavior and chickenpox, stretch marks that I’ve had since I was 2 (malnourished), and marks from inoculation and surgery. Doesn’t change what I can do, how well I can think, or how I can be of service.
I’m 36, and I have no desire to change anything about myself in that way. My skin is clear, and I keep it moisturized every day. It’s crazy how these people think that all these cosmetic surgeries and procedures are going to stop them from aging. After a while these things start to not look good, and you have to keep getting them done. It also can cause a lot of damage and problems with your body .
Thank you Brett! You’re so right. I’m a 24 year old, and the pressure to get work done is INSANE!!
The reason there is so much pressure is the same reason there is pressure to support abortion and gender-reassignment surgeries: it’s a huge money making industry. Regardless supporting these “causes”, everyone overlooks that there is a shitload of money in those industries, so don’t get pressured into doing something you weren’t even thinking about before.
Loveeeeeee this message. Thanks, Brett!
I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE FEELS THIS WAY ABOUT MAKEUP! I am TERRIFIED of having the wedding makeup discussion, because I want to do my own too and I know certain members of my family are not going to be stoked. I've started purposely going bare-faced whenever I start to feel bad about my appearance, literally just to prove to myself that I don't need makeup, no one needs makeup. The whole cosmetics industry is really so misogynistic, and women just KEEP PAYING FOR THIS STUFF! LET'S PLEASE STOP!
I did my own wedding makeup and it was so amazing feeling like myself. I just did a tinted moisturizer, a little mascara, and rosey cheeks and lips. You end up being so so happy on your wedding day you feel the most beautiful just because of that ❤️
Bruh are you American? Many women do their own make up lol, maybe not in US it seems. Some don’t even wear make up, only BB cream maybe. Not everyone loves heavy make up. Some want a bare face during wedding, so you can be pure and yourself and not fake
PLEASE DO! I had my wedding makeup professionally done and did not feel/look like myself. (And it’s insanely expensive just to feel uncomfortable) You could still hire the makeup team for your family members who want it, and forgo it yourself. I relayed the prices to my wedding party, some people had it done, some didn’t. But they had the option, if they wanted it. I just wish I ended up not having it done myself. Go with your gut! Don’t let anyone shame/get into your head about it. ♥️
I’m getting married next month and I’m doing my own. I had some not so supportive opinions but idc. It’s my day. I like my skin and so does my future husband. I want to look at my wedding photos and see ME and the woman my husband fell in love with.
This was me. I got married in 2022 at age 22. I had tried doing full face of makeup with contouring and everything, but ultimately decided it was way too much and I wasn't myself. I wore a tad bit of concealer on acne or red spots, some lipstick, tiny bit of natural eyeshadow, and mascara on curled eyelashes. I felt beautiful and didn't have to worry about what happened to all my makeup throughout the day.
Brett, I absolutely understand your desire to do your own makeup for your wedding!
I got married a year ago and did my own makeup for the exact same reason, and it was a great decision! My sister, with good intentions of course, suggested possibly getting a fake tan lol but I did not follow that advice and now, when I look at our wedding photos and see my pale skin and natural appearance, I absolutely LOVE the photos and the fact that they represent what I really look like! Best of luck with your wedding planning!
I like to tune in to various reporting arenas to see what is going on with different groups, you did a nice job of presenting. I had no idea they were so conned. They'll get over it eventually, probably with needing therapeutic support. Age and experience will teach them. I will say, they are very fortunate to have so many advantages other generations did not have.
I'm 41 which was super hard to Acknowledge being over 40 never had any work done, but I'm proud of all my lines. All my lines mean something, I've been through a lot. I don't wanna erase that that makes me who I am
I did my own makeup for my wedding and was shamed by my mom for going that route. I got so many compliments on how naturally beautiful I looked from everyone else though.
So sorry you got shamed! I'm sure you looked lovely. I did something similar to you for my wedding - I didn't do it myself but had a trusted friend of a friend do it using my own products. We did a trial run beforehand and I liked how skilled she was. I got lots of compliments. She didn't overdo it. And it was less expensive than hiring a professional!
I’m 34 and can’t fathom getting anything done to my face and I almost never wear makeup. 10/10 recommended doing your own hair & makeup for your wedding. I did mine myself and I’m so glad because I felt like myself & can look fondly on the pictures because I was actually present during them instead of concerned about how I looked. The only time I’ve had my hair/makeup done and felt like myself was for maternity photos and I loved that makeup artist / stylist for asking what I normally do and working within that.
You’ve made me a smile, thank you. God bless
Hey, Brett! I really appreciated this video! In a similar vein, would you consider doing a video about beef tallow and what you use it for? You've mentioned it a few times but I haven't been able to find a video where you go into it in any depth.
Love the light makeup Brett! ❤
Brett Cooper you look so much better with light makeup. It’s so much more flattering and brings out your natural beauty. So glad you may do that more often. You’re gorgeous!
Yes Brett is so naturally beautiful!
@@Boudicaisback You've literally never seen Brett natural 😭
@@niki7876 but I’ve seen her with lighter makeup that has more of a natural look. You don’t have to see someone completely without makeup to know they’re pretty especially when less makeup actually makes them look prettier.
@@raelv504 Even in this video she's wearing a ton of makeup, just natural colors. Stop projecting your weird ass hatred of makeup, who cares if she wears a ton. But the fact your biased towards Brett and your weird makeup standards that you pretend she hardly wears any/should is too funny.
I know it’s different for women and I’m likely in the minority (I know my fiancé is terrified of getting older) but as a guy I love growing older. There’s a romantic element to it. Your face, every wrinkle is representative of the reactions, experiences and presentations you have made to world. Every grey hair a monument to the fortune of your health to have lived so long. Every blemish, an element that is unique to you. The smile lines to show how much you’ve laughed. The wrinkles above your brow to show the work you’ve undertaken or the moments of sheer astonishment. Sure there may be some unsightly glaring objects that may be considered for medical adjustment (like a large mole for example) that we may have removed. But even this and the other elements that naturally accompany us in life, is a testament to the story you live. There’s an authenticity that is alluring. I may be stupid or foolish to think of this in such a way, but I can’t help but be convinced by it and see all of my changes and my future wife’s changes as something beautiful.
Amen!! I love this. I’m married with a son and I remember being pregnant and being so terrified by how my body would be “ruined” after birth- but I can honestly say I’m more confident now (and more motivated to take care of myself so I can stay healthy for my family God willing) than I have ever been. I mean every little stretch mark shows that I carried and grew a literal life. And I have some new eye wrinkles that showed how much I’ve smiled. It’s such a blessing honestly. Especially when you spend time with wonderful older people and realize their wisdom.. I’m never looking at them like “ew they have wrinkles- I hope I don’t look like that”- I’m looking at them in absolute awe of their wisdom and experience and honestly thinking they’re the most beautiful person in this world!!
that's beautiful :)
Beautiful comment 💗
I seem to have aged in reverse while having nothing done.
When I was 21 (When I first grew my beard out), I had people asking me if I was 30. Now that I am 30 and started shaping my beard, I have people asking me if I'm under 25. I honestly don't know whether to feel good about that or not 🤣🤣🤣
I did my own makeup for my wedding too! (Married in June) I’m not even that experienced with makeup and it turned out great. I have had professionals do my makeup up before and I felt so artificial and weirdly old. On my wedding day I felt beautiful and like myself. I hope you have the same experience Brett!
