      Burn chicken nugget, I used to like Tati only for her excessive vanity and spending because no one is as self obsessed as she is and she’s tried every product so I used to go to her for product information but basically she only promotes people who pay her now. She didn’t have the slightest of a problem with James Charles’ lifestyle until he didn’t support her product and as a grown woman she was trying to talk crap about a guy half her age and his mom.. that’s when I stopped watching her. Now everyone sees both sides and she’s loosing viewers aka money she’s suddenly “sorry” and trying to fake tears in a really awkward, pathetic way so she doesn’t seem like as huge of a bitch as she is.

      @@cyntax4901 Okay I might be missing some few points but basically: the drama between James Charles and Tati blew up again now and people are suspecting it has to do with Shane and Jeffree manipulating Tati. Shane wrote a statement that he thinks James needs "a humble pie" and recorded an apology video. Shane has been accused again of being racist & ped*philia and even Jaden Smith tweeted how disgusted he is (because it involves Jaden Smith's sister). Tati recently uploaded a video of why she was mad at James in the 2019 drama, when Shane knows this, he went on live, calling her "manipulative" and that he can't believe she is saying. Though, there are many youtubers who has also been exposing Jeffree of wanting to see James fall/get cancelled. So, in my opinion what Tati said is true and makes sense that Jeffree and Shane was gaslighting her. Jeffree still remains silent as for now and I doubt he's going to say anything lol. That's all I know or remember, at least lol I hope this helps 😳 also sorry it's too long lmaoo, have a nice day🌸

      Guys need a little bit of touch up too tho~ just a bit. Put a lot and you'd be called gay. Put too much and you'd be called a drag. But really there's nothing wrong with trying it out sometimes. Just a glow up and not looking like you're so stressed. XD Even using a bit of chapstick - some guys tell you it's gay, but avoiding cracked and chapped lips is better. Besides, there are girls/women who likes a man whom they can turn to and ask opinions/brainstorm with to level up their looks. So there is definitely nothing wrong with learning a bit about make ups~

    Up until very recently at the age of 34 I didn't know that I had lived my life in a state of depersonalization. Pretty severe one. I thought that's how everyone experienced life. I've been able to understand why certain things having to do with the structure and proportions of my face and body in general have been so impossible for me. I don't hate my body so I wouldn't call it body dysmorphia I guess but, I do not understand it. I use it well enough, but when it comes down to how something will fit me or what shades would look good on me, it's like there's just nothing there. I got nothing going on up there. So these videos are so incredibly helpful, thank you so so much. I don't know that when you made them you considered they would actually help people with chronic mental conditions but, here we are. I'm also on the spectrum and your calm demeanor is much appreciated. I have a hard time processing people with instructors animating into the camera like they're already at the party they're gearing up for.

    I have an oval face so I prefer to apply my makeup to look more “cute” and “youthful” since naturally I feel that oval faces tend to look more mature. So for me it gives me that good balance of mature/youthful.

      Waterbaby Oxox yea If you have a face like that (me too) place your blush where she put hers (not the cheekbone placement) and you’ll look more younger and cuter. Doing blush like the other side gives a more chiseled, defined look but I prefer to look like those anime girls lol

It’s also often associated with mental illness, drugs and sex work. Hope that was a good enough explanation hehe 🤓🤓

    I would say that your preferred placement is more high fashion and edgy, and does accentuate the cat eye look, as you say, and the apple of the cheeks placement is more youthful. Another thing to consider that I noticed between the two looks is that one feels more approachable than the other. You could experiment, but I bet that one placement over the other would be significant for someone working with the public, say in customer service.

    • @BlackDropCrystal

      @evilangel7769 Of course you never thought about it like this because it's all subliminal. You don't think about who is most approachable because your mind basically decides for you in a split second and you will just "feel like" they are or not even though there were a bunch of things that influenced your subliminal decision. There is way more to it. It's not "just blush" or "just face shape".
