I own Gourmande Girls. I have said this to a lot of people. You, Steff and Heather are the three hardest working people I know in this community. The three of you work non-stop. I have never known people who were able to put out such amazing content, create their own palettes, (you and Heather), respond to followers, manage multiple platforms, and keep everything going consistently. I have so much respect for you, and for all of you who do this for a living. It takes a lot of dedication and self-discipline. I know that I have a lot of work, and you have a brand and a channel. I don't have a channel. I cannot imagine how many hours a day you work. Thank you for everything you do for the indie beauty community!
Christina made me realize that some peoplework hard and get tired and respond by noticing how much others are doing and are moved to admiration. Others work hard and start to feel the opposite, a resentment towards others. In my personal experience, those people are going through something and it's okay to let them not affect us while we give them the space they need.
Angie : watch content creators with the same make up preferences as you! And here I am, a neutral loving girl with a preference for cool to neutral tones, watching almost everything Angie puts out, because tho I might not want to wear her looks myself, she's fun and inspiring.
Oof, I work for a small business that sells products online and the amount of emails we get per week from people asking why their product hasn’t shipped yet less than 24 hours after placing the order 🙄 Amazon has gotten people too used to super quick turnaround times at the expense of their workers 😢 I’m honestly glad when an indie brand takes a few more days to ship because it means they’re not working themselves into the ground trying to fulfill orders
Living in Asia the struggle with the international shipping is real. By no means I want to say indie brands should charge less, I know how ridiculous expensive it is sending things, however at the end of the day these costs are often a dealbreaker for me when ordering. If the shipping is 30-40$ (not sure what the exact amount is due to exchange rate) I think three times if I really need that 35-50$ palette 🙈
My trick or treat pallette arrived safely this morning (it's even more pretty in person) my brother looks at it and said "I don't know squat about makeup but that art work is awesome! Looks like it could be an iron maiden album cover"
I don't think larger UA-camrs are less authentic but they become much less relatable as they start to earn lots of money. I struggle to watch some of my favorites as they're constantly buying not just tons of makeup but clothes, home decor, gigantic homes, lavish vacations, etc. And some as they become larger start to hire others to do the editing, thumbnails, etc.
I will never understand people who feel the need to comment negatively on others' appearance! Like, if you don't find someone attractive/don't like the way they look, you can just ignore the person and keep scrolling/move on. There's literally zero reason to be rude to them about it. And ugh, don't even get me started on "you're so brave"... as a plus-size woman, I get that so much on social media. Sure, I'm very BRAVE for wearing clothes that I like, I should get a medal for that! 🙄😂
I just LOVE the “compliment”…..”you would be so pretty if you lost weight”. Like what? What am I supposed to do with that? 🤦🏻♀️ there are so many ignorant people on the planet
As a MUA who consumes content made by other MUAs, some can definitely be pretentious and I tend to try and avoid those ones. I love the ones who are making educational content and aren't being hateful or judgy towards others (sometimes it can be hard not to judge the silly click bait "techniques" some people do on tiktok just for views though). It's important to be patient and kind to people seeking makeup help, not everyone has the same skills or background with makeup as others and it can be intimidating and overwhelming to ask for help. Also people being mean to others online BAFFLES me. If I don't like a creator or have an opinion that isn't nice I keep it to myself and avoid consuming content of that creator.
I am an ER nurse near an Amazon warehouse and the amount of employees who end up in the ER for dizziness, fainting, chest pain, etc during their shift! Y’all, mitigate your expectations for these indie brands, please.
When it comes to influencers that seem to “like everything they try” I also think an aspect of that is the more time you spend with makeup, the more you know your preferences. I feel like there are a lot of influencers that purposely try products that match their preferences so that 1) they do not feel they waste their money and 2) they can give a more fair review . I think you are a really knowledgeable influencer who is able to separate personal preferences from recognizing quality products but there are some influencers who may struggle with that a little more. Anyway, hope you are having a great day and I really enjoyed the video 💗
I’m with you on not understanding why people leave negative comments after viewing a video. I feel these people have some jealousy in their hearts and they just can’t help but spill negativity. I love that you always say “it’s just colored powder”. We can’t please everyone, just always please yourself!
Same!! If I have something nice to say or a question to ask, I’ll leave a comment. If there was something in the video I didn’t like, I won’t comment about it. If the creator starts doing a lot of things I don’t like, then I stop watching. I don’t comment telling them. Like I don’t get what they think leaving their mean a$$ comment is going to do? The creator is going to see it and be like, yup they’re right. I better stop doing xyz 🤦♀️ And, what makes even less sense is when the comment seems like they really don’t like the creator and it’s like - what are you doing here at all? Watching their videos, leaving comments - you’re literally supporting someone you don’t like! 😂 Even their mean comment is engagement and supports their channel 🤣
As always I loved your video. But I will never ever understand how people can be so mean. They don’t have to watch just scroll on by if you have nothing nice to say. While standing in line a woman said as loud as she could I hate tattoos they look trashy. And I responded just as loud well it’s a good thing I didn’t get them for you. Just an example of how mean ppl can be. I still have to believe goodness out weighs the bad. ❤️
Omg that reminds me of when I was working at my old job (retail) and I was wearing the longest lashes that I own and this older man was like "you have gorgeous eyes I don't know why you cover them with such silly eyelashes" It's like 😐😐 okay??? ...I am literally serving you cannabis what do my lashes have to do with your experience sir 🤣 I wish I said something snarky back like you did but I was a bit awkward and shocked at such a *silly* comment. And we can't really be snarky to customers smh. All I said was "well, I like them" lol
I had just explained that my tattoos all have a special meaning to me related to my son who passed away. A random keyboard warrior decided that was the time to say how ugly tattoos are and that women shouldn’t have them. I said nothing because my rule is to never engage because that is what they want. I love my tattoos, they make me happy. I’m planning my next one. No disrespect to people who clap back, I love that for other people and honestly it’s fun to read and ❤
Ok, my own hot take reply to one of the hot takes 😅 I’m actually more concerned about the shift in society AWAY from experts than having any concern with experts being snooty. I think most of the pro MUAs on UA-cam come across as helpful. There’s nothing wrong (imo) with letting people know proper technique. No one is making anyone use it. I’m a musician and this transfers completely. Anyone can play and everyone should.. but there’s a massive issue with the idea that training isn’t important. It is important! Choosing your own path is important, but certain paths aren’t possible without training. And getting free training from professionals who went to school? Sharing their time and experience as a working artist? That’s great. Just my 2 cents. I love the pros and amateurs (meaning passionate practitioners) both. ❤
Haha, I once found a gossip forum having a thread about you. It felt like all the sad people were there. 😂 I love how passionate they hate you (or one other a lot bigger youtube creator I found there as well) that they inspect your every move and every word, and literally waiting for you to make your next move to rant about it. 🤦🏼♀️ Like, I don’t have that dedication towards people I follow and like for one or another reason, but those are spending their time on people they don’t even like! 🤦🏼♀️😂 The other thing I thought it was sick that, for example, in your thread there were people who were stating opinion that your wedding dress choice should be on you as you’re the one wearing it, but somebody was just starting to bully that person and might be even saying that this is the place for the rant and roast. 😂 Glorious! 😂 I saw this happening in both yours and other creator’s threads that once somebody was saying smth sane, they were just smashed against the wall for just saying that this is already crossing the lines. The reaction basically was “you’re just a fan of this person”, so, basically, that opinion wasn’t valid, although, a lot of times those opinions quite obviously had nothing to do with being a fan of anyone, just the common sense. 😂 But, yeah, this is quite a huge thing people are doing themselves. Like, I can’t imagine myself plainly wasting my time on stalking a person I totally despice just to post it in a place, where there’s gonna be loads of other sad people waiting for somebody bringing some tea. 😃
Yes! I found a comment thread with people bashing Angie, and I couldn't believe how sad and miserable they were! They were bashing the Helaween palettes. "Halloween" is not just orange, green, red, and black. Costumes come in every color and I like the backstory of Hela and Oden's Eye, Norse mythology, etc. It fits. These people were just miserable. I left them to their misery and came to watch my favorite MUA... Angie!
... and this is exactly why I don't have a UA-cam beauty channel. I've had so many suggest that I start one but I have seen the hateful ugly comments and I personally don't have the personality to handle that. It would be crushing. I don't understand the mentality of leaving - hateful hurtful comments. Apparently a lot of people didn't have mothers who taught them if you have nothing good to say say nothing. You are a stronger woman than I am Angie. Stay strong. I love your Channel!
Some people are just full of misery and bitterness and they want to spread it with the world, they believe we are their punching bag. UA-cam should somehow allow to totally block certain people's IP from even have access to our videos/channels. It sometimes becomes actual online harassment.
I think it's super weird that some people would keep leaving hate comments and after you block them, they'd go and leave hate comments on other people's videos. Just symptoms of being chronically online I guess. I have way too much to do IRL and even on my computer/mobile to be hating on some online person who I don't even know really lol.
I love what you said about PR being a business transaction. I’ve always understood this which is why I don’t accept any PR or promote codes because I’m not trying to run a business. I count myself so very lucky that I’ve never had a nasty comment on my channel but it upsets me so much seeing negative comments on other creators videos. If people have nothing nice to say why do they feel the need to say anything 🤷🏼♀️
yeah I mean I have made plenty of friends in this business, but pr is not a gift because you are a friend. it's a hope that you will love the product and help them sell it. but it's always a risk, because the creator might end up hating it too haha
As a pro makeup artist, my concerns were never content creators. It was clients or customers that would take influencer opinions like facts, and literally tell me things like "well, thats not what xyz said, and they have thousands of followers" It was always the clients interpretations of the content that caused issues for me. They didnt seem to understand that a content creator is speaking to an audience, and a MUA is consulting an individual. Wildly different things. With that said, content creators have absolutley added to my education in many ways. We both have our place.
I heard Johnny Ross on Rebecca Rogers podcast saying something about how it’s aggravating seeing all the beauty channels that haven’t been trained. He compared it to somebody teaching a classroom of kids with no training. I do like his looks but, I laughed because you don’t need a license to do makeup. 🤦🏼♀️
Weird coming from him because he has said before that when he first started his makeup channel, he had no idea what he was doing and he loved the learning process and the journey of self discovery or whatever. Seems pretty entitled to then go back and make a comment like that but idk, maybe I am just seeing it out of context.
As far as Indie brands not needing to be Amazon fast: I am fine with waiting for a product I bought for a week for processing and another week and a half for shipping. But I think it is bad business practice for a product to take over 30 days to reach someone which I have had happen with both Unearthly and Bella Beute Bar. I won’t buy from either brand again because of this business practice. Lots of Indie brands do manage to get it to me within two and half weeks.
I agree that indie brands shouldn't be held to Amazon standards. I also understand that once a product actually ships out, the brand doesn't have any say. On the other side, I do think it's a little interesting how long it takes some brands take to print out a shipping label, package an item, and get said packaged item to USPS/UPS/etc. versus other brands. This is true with both small indie brands as well as large mainstream brands. For example, rare beauty ships out very quickly in my experience, but colourpop is very slow. On the indie side, brands like Nomad and Blend Bunny package and send out items very quickly, but other brands are slower than molasses. I suspect it is simply a matter of where the brand chooses to prioritize, but for myself I am more likely to order from a brand if they process in a timely fashion (based on the size of the brand - I have higher expectations for Rare than a smaller brand obviously). That being said, the most important thing here is transparency. If a brand says up front on the site that their processing speed is 15-20 business days, I just don't order if I don't want to wait that long. The only issue is if a brand is not forthcoming with that info.
My issue is with brands that create so much hype for a product/launch, but don’t want to hire enough support to fulfill the orders. Glamlite is particularly bad about this. Once they actually ship my order, I receive it within 2 days, but it takes about a month to get to that point. On the other hand, Melt Cosmetics typically ships within 3-4 days at most when a new product launches… Glamlite has honestly grown to a size which requires more support, even if they just hire temps with these major launches.
100% on people not giving Indie brands room to breathe. One of my favorite earring shops has done 10-15 BD shipping for a couple years. I don't mind the wait at all! As long as I know it takes you longer to ship AND when things happen, you put out an update, I don't mind delayed shipping. People get _so_ mad for the smallest things. Maybe it's my age. At this point, I just don't see the necessity of stupid fast shipping. It's rarely necessary for _wants_ as opposed to _needs._
It depends on the brand, and whether or not they’re in a position to know how to handle it. Glamlite, for example, initiates a months-long hype campaign, then can’t seem to be bothered with staffing their warehouse appropriately. There’s absolutely no reason it should take over a month just to have the shipping label created when they’ve teased a launch for 2 months, and they’ve had multiple campaigns of that magnitude…
One of the hot takes is that some BG pretend to like everything. I'm thinking of one BG I watch who likes almost everything, but I've noticed there are major releases that I'm pretty sure she would be sent, but she just never reviews them. I can't know for sure, but I think she's only featuring products she loves, and ignoring products she hates. This makes sense because she's reviewing mostly indie, often small companies. Again, she's never said this, but I wonder if she doesn't want to hurt a small brand with a negative review, so she just... doesn't review it. This is all speculation on my part of course. But I do think there can be good, honest, honorable reasons for a creator to give all positive reviews.
In the end, I’m here for your indignant raisin impression. I’m with you on that. I have a strong sense of justice and it extends to people telling me they know my thoughts/intentions weren’t what I expressed them to be-because it’s basically questioning my integrity.
The shipping thing! So true. As I've gotten older and have been ordering from more indie and small businesses I am much more understanding about paying for shipping and shipping times in general.
Thanks for addressing my hot take on lip oils :) I agree that it's awesome that there are diverse lip product formulas on the market. Speaking of unique formulas, I just ordered some Kaleidos lip clays for the first time last week and I'm super excited to give them a try.
@@Aquakat125I have a few, those being dahlia, (my all time favorite red, not too warm, not too cool, just gorgeous Red) scorpion fruit, (darkest pitch black I've used and my emo heart is in love) and bare (a light, mlbb shade that I ended up loving and reaching for way more often than I thought.)
Hey Angie! I’m a few days late with this comment but wanted to drop it here hoping you’ll read it. You’d mentioned in a recent video that you’re considering taking more sponsorships in order to allow you to create the type of fun content you want to create, rather than just reviewing the new new for views. I wouldn’t mind one tiny bit if you added a sponsor to each and every video. Hello Fresh, Scentbird, Nord VPN, random match-3 video game…whatever it takes for you to earn the money you deserve for your hard work and that’ll allow you to create the cool, fun indie and non-new release content you want to create (and I want to watch!) Just wanted to chime in and let you knowy thoughts on that! Cheers 🥂
I think we should just be a bit more logical ourselves. We get very emotional and very attached to people and things. The beauty community is full of people who are as varied as the people who watch them. Beauty is a business and marketing can take many forms.
Literally like even tho I have my favorite brands that I’m biased to I still can say what I like and don’t like about my fav brands but some other people just pretend and lie about their reviews and it’s honestly toxic and wrong
I always appreciate your balanced and thoughtful perspectives ❤. I love watching you despite having a more neutral aesthetic however you inspire me to stretch a little with what I try ❤
Something that I don't understand is how some makeup viewers complain about creators creating drama and being "problematic", but then they go to makeup forums to trash creators and to be even more dramatic and problematic than the creators they love to criticize.
My lips are stuck in 2016 lol. I like how products like lip oils and glosses look on others and I tend to reach for them when I'm wearing very little makeup but when I'm doing my fave makeup style with a full face I'm still out here reaching for matte liquid lipstick. The sephora brand ones are my go-to!!
I enjoy Beauty and the Frizz. She does a monthly round up where she talks about what she has spent too. She’s fun to watch, give her a chance when you get time. 😊
When the screen went ZOOOOOM and it freaked me out because it startled me. Was Ricardo helping editing? 😂😂😂❤ You are open and honest. These are what I love. You, Brutally Honest Beauty, Erica Conger (my soul twin. 😂), and Betty Jean. I love you all. ❤😊
I always appreciate how articulate you are. Thank you for this video, and especially for defining “hot take” (cuz I had no idea). As for other creators, I recommend Kerry K!
I’m always shocked when people feel entitled to say horrible things to UA-camrs or state their assumptions about them as if they are fact or tell them to change their lives or their videos. It’s wild. Also I don’t understand emanating that much negative energy all the time. It seems exhausting.
I am probably one of those UA-camrs who like most of the makeup products they get (although, not always), but that's because I don't live in the US, which means that I don't get anything in PR or sent to me by a brand to try out, and I am usually very careful about spending my own money on something, so I initially try to buy the products that I will most likely enjoy - another reason for that being that I don't have any extra money to just invest in reviewing for the sake of trying something that I think I might not like, but that people are talking about.
I absolutely agree with the commentor/audience hot take. I can't believe some of the toxic comments people make. I guess it's easy to do behind a screen and it's not ok. I will never understand why people can't just follow the policy, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. If viewers don't like a creator or what they are doing, move the fluff on! You don't HAVE to leave a nasty comment, don't watch the creator then. Move on. It's not hard and I will never understand it.
As a busy nurse, I do want a lip product that lasts or a super sheer gloss or lip oil that I don’t have to worry about. BUT I want a comfortable long lasting formula, those are hard to find.
You’ve transformed this neutral bronze Smokey eye girl to a colorful peacock in the best way! Which is why I giggled when you mentioned that this was created to show a neutral look 😂. I wore this palette today with Cauldron, Howl, Poison, Crypt Keeper, and Magic Potion 🧙♀️
Angie, you are amazing and so down-to-earth, your videos are always a breath of fresh air on the internet. also I just received my Little Ghosts palette yesterday and am waiting for the chance to sit down and swatch and play with it!! sending all kinds of love 🧡
My Helaween palettes should be here tomorrow! I’m so excited ❤ could not agree more with everyone who hates mean and disrespectful comments, especially about people’s appearances. Do people not understand you don’t have to find everyone on this planet physically attractive to be nice? At least for me, I want my comments online to reflect the type of person I am in real life, so I’ll never say anything I wouldn’t say to your face (and I rarely am not nice to someone in person). I don’t say mean shit to people unless they’re mean to me first, but usually I just walk away. Like you’d have to be really mean to me to get me to snap back! 😂 I would never leave a hate comment to anyone, if I don’t like you then I don’t watch you and don’t say anything. I also don’t understand the hate watching concept. Like why are you wasting time watching videos of someone you don’t like just so you can be rude to them? Instead, watch people you actually want to support? It’s so ridiculous. But I hope you know that you are so valued in this community! Your videos got me out of a makeup rut last year, and I’m so glad I discovered you back then. I’ve been loving and wearing indie makeup ever since I found your channel and I’m never going back! This is the side of the community I feel is more positive and supportive, of course we have some duds 😂 but mostly everyone is so kind and that’s what I’m here for. I’ve been through way too much crap in my life, the last thing I want to see if negative crap online so I don’t follow any of those influencers who love the drama. The indie community is where it’s at ❤ we love you girl! You’re amazing and such a great person in this space, you’ll always have my support (unless you do something icky which I highly doubt will ever happen) haha. You’re truly one of my faves, you inspire me not just with makeup but in life, you seem genuine and like a kind hearted person. Plus you are just so talented and creative! You’re exactly the type of person I have no issue supporting and I’m glad you’re here! I’d probably still be thinking sephora eyeshadow was the best there was and getting continuously disappointed by the lack of sparkles and dimension in mainstream shadows if it weren’t for you 😂❤
Awe what a lovely and supportive comment to leave for Angie! I also completely agree with you!! Thank you for the time and energy you put into creating these videos we all seem to enjoy and watching!! Cheers
I will never understand why people watch or follow creators that they don’t like. Even creators that I absolutely love, I rarely watch every single video anyway. I have a meh feeling about some brands that have their PR creators post at exactly the same time. I just skip past those and then don’t even want to buy from that brand because I’m bombarded all at once. 🤷🏼♀️
I actually see far more creators do over the top positive reviews as opposed to over the top negative reviews. Especially in 2023. I don’t remember the last time I saw an over the top negative review on youtube. Tiktok is a different story because it’s so over saturated with “let me try to go viral anyway I can” type content I also can’t stand the kind of community the drama channels who make exclusively beauty community drama videos foster. I think they’ve done more harm than good and they nitpick the most ridiculous reasons to condemn a creator.
Some huge creators only post a video like once every 8 months or something lol I think that is where the opinion of smaller influencers work harder comes from. Plus if they're trying to make it a career at the beginning it appears from the outside that more content is uploaded which would make us viewers see that as working harder.
If everyone on UA-cam is raving about the same things, usually it’s because they’re a new product or trendy product. Example, cream blushes in general. I’ve heard several people say things like “I don’t know why I’m liking cream blushes, I used to not like them”. I guess I’m kinda making two points but people are liking things like cream blushes because they’re everywhere, they are trendy and cool, and they conditioned to think that (because they are everywhere they turn).
People have a lot of suppressed rage and I think use the internet as an outlet for that said rage. I try and think before posting and if I wouldn't say it to their face in person...imma keep my mouth closed lol. 😂 Aldo, shipping! I agree, someone has to pay for it, and I don't mind paying a reasonable price for it, BUT, there's companies out there charging $25 USD for shipping to Canada (Moira cosmetics I see you) so that feels to me like way too much.
when I pay for international shipping I always think anything within the $20-30 is ok. I will say, from shipping myself, shipping to Canada is not cheap, even though you are so close haha
With begging for money, how is someone gonna ask for money while they go on lavish vacations, buy expensive things, and then say they really need money for their family or their pet or their hospital bills? Buying designer clothes, going on a swanky summer vacation while asking for money is a slap in the face to their viewers. And then the influencer says its PR or a paid brand trip... well most of us don't have "free" trips and PR so why are they asking us for money?
Well I think you are an amazing woman! .. bringing out the soapbox.. clearing throat… This is YOUR platform and you have the right to block and tell that person they are rude! Angie, Keep rockin that beautiful self of a person that you are! ❤️
People who get mad they didn’t receive their order in a day or two should try living in Australia! That might teach them some patience and give them some perspective.
Thank you for a great video! I love the makeup look today. Still one of my favorite looks you created is a green eye look with 3 Natasha Denona palettes. You had so many great one liners like “Brands are not our friends.” I can’t wait to watch the video on this eye look. Have a great day!
Angie I honest to goodness have never read a bad comment about you. If I did I would give them a an etiquette lesson. I know I'm not perfect but some people just can't stand you being YOU!( My guess) Just carry on and continue to wow those of us that think you are absolutely marvelous!!
enjoy your content and your thought process..appreciate you enlightenting your viewers on ALL..hardest part of being a growing creator is having the time to watch others and then also having the time to find others..youtube has been good at now adding new to me channels in my feed!
Someone I think is fun is Courtney Covino. She is probably pretty extreme for many people. I love the style and fun approach she has. She posts some on youtube, but I enjoy her on instagram. I think you would appreciate the looks!
I can't belive people are so miserable in their own lives that they feel the need to spread that negativity to others! So rude! Those comments world be so hard to read 😢
Hi Angie. I have à couple of UA-camrs that I think you would enjoy watching, they are both from the UK - Charlotte Holdcroft and Gemma från Pampered Woolf. They are funny and talented, just like you. Thank you for all the work you put in to everything you do. Hugs from Sweden. ❤️🤗
I keep hoping one day we evolve enough, out of the negativity, we don't need to speak up when we do not like free content, just watch something else you don't need to be rude, and if you are called out it is not being rude, everyone has the right to stand up for them selves. Also we all forget that we can change our minds about a product, or the end result of product, our skin type changes all the time, we all live in different places, we are different people, instead of accusing someone of lying about any product, we should be focusing on why someone likes a product, its our money we are spending after all, no one is forcing us to buy or watch anything. Thank you for sharing your thoughts great work as always! ❤
Nah, I don't see a bad attitude from professional MUAs. They have their own techniques are perspectives, and that is fine. They are paid for that reason. The same way that a reviewer may get viewers / paid for their perspective, taste, etc. Plus those professionals have experience applying product to so many faces, I like their confidence, it is deserved.
Social media allows for anonymity, I feel the nasty people are miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too. I wear neutrals but, I love seeing all the bright colors even if I don't use it. I have learned how to apply and use products. I have learned something from all the "creators" I watch. I have a hard dislike for people putting words in my mouth. I have a large colorful vocabulary and they do Not know what I was going to say.
I actually think lip oils are underraaed. And I say that as a person who doesn't like glosses and glossy lips in general, but lip oils are so amazing just to wear at home and as a hydration and for editorial looks, I think lot of people just see them as another type of gloss but the usage and benefits of lip oils are on another level. About the shipping I would actually really like to have a take on it from some of the brand owners, because I agree with all what you said but then I see some indie brands (and specially in the US) have super expensive shipping in like over 40 dollars cheapest regardless what you order and some other brands can do less then half and its not like the cheaper shipping brand is bigger, it varies a lot and I always wonder what say does the brand actually have into picking which shipping company they will be using or how easy it is to switch the shipping provider because nobody really talks about the actual behind the scenes of the shipping, i think it would explain a lot instead of a brand simply saying 'sorry, cant do anything about this' .yeah, we get it, but why, how come this other shipping option with this other brand is half cheaper.... is it the location from where the brand is shipping... is it the range of the brand, is it the size of the orders that customers usually have ... Maybe it is too much to ask to know and I get that the brand cant share everything about their bussines, but some info would often help people stop bitching about this :D
Maybe I shouldn't have watched this... I'm so sad about all rude criticism you've gotten 😭 Thank you for being so creative and such a spit fire. Is that a back handed compliment? It's supposed to be a compliment, compliment!
People who have the need to spread unwarranted, crude negativity deserve nothing but pity since clearly they aren't well. Thank you for never compromising your authenticity.
I have a question, or maybe an opinion for you, since you've been a makeup artist. I feel like if someone doesn't know how to do something, that's when they pay someone else to do it. In my experience with friends, and customers when I worked at Ulta, people who wear super colorful makeup are willing to spend time to learn it and money for the products. I feel like the people who pay makeup artists for help are the people who don't know how to do their own makeup at all, because they haven't really cared enough to learn, so they just want something simple.
I’m always so torn about my channel, I want to do well and grow but I’m so tiny that the people who watch my videos actually like hanging out with me. I get “pr” from one brand and I would never not be honest. Even if it got me kicked off🤪. I genuinely enjoy your videos and am so glad you’re on the UA-cams!! Also, I’m loving the new collection 🥳
Hateful comments are so useless. I feel that these people are just angry and opinionated people with no lives. You can leave something constructive that is worded in a polite manner. I just love these online "bullies". I had left a comment about a star's buccal fat removal surgery in a creator's comment section. This was the topic! The person called me an "ugly bitch who doesn't know shit." I laughed at the lunacy but I can see how people can become affected. I love your content and how upfront you are!
when it comes to MUA influencers I think I see the pretentious attitude more on insta than here on youtube (maybe because of what the platform/algorithm surfaces) and I just get turned off by things that try to hook people with "You're applying you _____ wrong" (insert product here, foundation, concealer contour whatever) and much prefer make up artists who take a " if you want x effect try y technique" approach but have definitely seen examples of both
I own Gourmande Girls. I have said this to a lot of people. You, Steff and Heather are the three hardest working people I know in this community. The three of you work non-stop. I have never known people who were able to put out such amazing content, create their own palettes, (you and Heather), respond to followers, manage multiple platforms, and keep everything going consistently. I have so much respect for you, and for all of you who do this for a living. It takes a lot of dedication and self-discipline. I know that I have a lot of work, and you have a brand and a channel. I don't have a channel. I cannot imagine how many hours a day you work. Thank you for everything you do for the indie beauty community!
Awh thank you so much Christina!
This 👏🏻
I agree! 😊
don't worry about the haters. you do you. which is terrific, and it's your channel.
Christina made me realize that some peoplework hard and get tired and respond by noticing how much others are doing and are moved to admiration. Others work hard and start to feel the opposite, a resentment towards others. In my personal experience, those people are going through something and it's okay to let them not affect us while we give them the space they need.
Angie : watch content creators with the same make up preferences as you! And here I am, a neutral loving girl with a preference for cool to neutral tones, watching almost everything Angie puts out, because tho I might not want to wear her looks myself, she's fun and inspiring.
haha! I will say though I myself tend to follow people for their personalities :)
You are not alone… what can I say ? Fun and insightful is fun and insightful…😊
Same!! I barely wear makeup anymore now that I work 100% from home, but I still love hearing Angie's reviews and seeing the looks she creates!
Inspiration is EVERYTHING!!
Oof, I work for a small business that sells products online and the amount of emails we get per week from people asking why their product hasn’t shipped yet less than 24 hours after placing the order 🙄 Amazon has gotten people too used to super quick turnaround times at the expense of their workers 😢 I’m honestly glad when an indie brand takes a few more days to ship because it means they’re not working themselves into the ground trying to fulfill orders
Living in EU, I’m very happy if indie brands orders get to me in less than a month lol 😂
Living in Asia the struggle with the international shipping is real.
By no means I want to say indie brands should charge less, I know how ridiculous expensive it is sending things, however at the end of the day these costs are often a dealbreaker for me when ordering. If the shipping is 30-40$ (not sure what the exact amount is due to exchange rate) I think three times if I really need that 35-50$ palette 🙈
My trick or treat pallette arrived safely this morning (it's even more pretty in person) my brother looks at it and said "I don't know squat about makeup but that art work is awesome! Looks like it could be an iron maiden album cover"
I don't think larger UA-camrs are less authentic but they become much less relatable as they start to earn lots of money. I struggle to watch some of my favorites as they're constantly buying not just tons of makeup but clothes, home decor, gigantic homes, lavish vacations, etc. And some as they become larger start to hire others to do the editing, thumbnails, etc.
Yes! This!
I will never understand people who feel the need to comment negatively on others' appearance! Like, if you don't find someone attractive/don't like the way they look, you can just ignore the person and keep scrolling/move on. There's literally zero reason to be rude to them about it. And ugh, don't even get me started on "you're so brave"... as a plus-size woman, I get that so much on social media. Sure, I'm very BRAVE for wearing clothes that I like, I should get a medal for that! 🙄😂
I just LOVE the “compliment”…..”you would be so pretty if you lost weight”. Like what? What am I supposed to do with that? 🤦🏻♀️ there are so many ignorant people on the planet
People who are like that always have "be kind❤️" in their Instagram bios ugh
You’re so brave for existing as a plus-sized woman while being seen. I love that too. 😂😂😂
Girl, you look gorgeous! I'm plus size too and I know what you mean!
As a MUA who consumes content made by other MUAs, some can definitely be pretentious and I tend to try and avoid those ones. I love the ones who are making educational content and aren't being hateful or judgy towards others (sometimes it can be hard not to judge the silly click bait "techniques" some people do on tiktok just for views though). It's important to be patient and kind to people seeking makeup help, not everyone has the same skills or background with makeup as others and it can be intimidating and overwhelming to ask for help.
Also people being mean to others online BAFFLES me. If I don't like a creator or have an opinion that isn't nice I keep it to myself and avoid consuming content of that creator.
I am an ER nurse near an Amazon warehouse and the amount of employees who end up in the ER for dizziness, fainting, chest pain, etc during their shift! Y’all, mitigate your expectations for these indie brands, please.
When it comes to influencers that seem to “like everything they try” I also think an aspect of that is the more time you spend with makeup, the more you know your preferences. I feel like there are a lot of influencers that purposely try products that match their preferences so that 1) they do not feel they waste their money and 2) they can give a more fair review . I think you are a really knowledgeable influencer who is able to separate personal preferences from recognizing quality products but there are some influencers who may struggle with that a little more. Anyway, hope you are having a great day and I really enjoyed the video 💗
I like to watch Robert Welsh (MUA). He's down to earth, honest and kind of funny.
I’m with you on not understanding why people leave negative comments after viewing a video. I feel these people have some jealousy in their hearts and they just can’t help but spill negativity. I love that you always say “it’s just colored powder”. We can’t please everyone, just always please yourself!
Same!! If I have something nice to say or a question to ask, I’ll leave a comment. If there was something in the video I didn’t like, I won’t comment about it. If the creator starts doing a lot of things I don’t like, then I stop watching. I don’t comment telling them. Like I don’t get what they think leaving their mean a$$ comment is going to do? The creator is going to see it and be like, yup they’re right. I better stop doing xyz 🤦♀️ And, what makes even less sense is when the comment seems like they really don’t like the creator and it’s like - what are you doing here at all? Watching their videos, leaving comments - you’re literally supporting someone you don’t like! 😂 Even their mean comment is engagement and supports their channel 🤣
As always I loved your video. But I will never ever understand how people can be so mean. They don’t have to watch just scroll on by if you have nothing nice to say. While standing in line a woman said as loud as she could I hate tattoos they look trashy. And I responded just as loud well it’s a good thing I didn’t get them for you. Just an example of how mean ppl can be. I still have to believe goodness out weighs the bad. ❤️
omg I love that comeback! :D
Omg that reminds me of when I was working at my old job (retail) and I was wearing the longest lashes that I own and this older man was like "you have gorgeous eyes I don't know why you cover them with such silly eyelashes"
It's like 😐😐 okay??? ...I am literally serving you cannabis what do my lashes have to do with your experience sir 🤣
I wish I said something snarky back like you did but I was a bit awkward and shocked at such a *silly* comment. And we can't really be snarky to customers smh. All I said was "well, I like them" lol
I had just explained that my tattoos all have a special meaning to me related to my son who passed away. A random keyboard warrior decided that was the time to say how ugly tattoos are and that women shouldn’t have them. I said nothing because my rule is to never engage because that is what they want. I love my tattoos, they make me happy. I’m planning my next one. No disrespect to people who clap back, I love that for other people and honestly it’s fun to read and ❤
Ok, my own hot take reply to one of the hot takes 😅 I’m actually more concerned about the shift in society AWAY from experts than having any concern with experts being snooty. I think most of the pro MUAs on UA-cam come across as helpful. There’s nothing wrong (imo) with letting people know proper technique. No one is making anyone use it.
I’m a musician and this transfers completely. Anyone can play and everyone should.. but there’s a massive issue with the idea that training isn’t important. It is important! Choosing your own path is important, but certain paths aren’t possible without training. And getting free training from professionals who went to school? Sharing their time and experience as a working artist? That’s great.
Just my 2 cents. I love the pros and amateurs (meaning passionate practitioners) both. ❤
Haha, I once found a gossip forum having a thread about you. It felt like all the sad people were there. 😂 I love how passionate they hate you (or one other a lot bigger youtube creator I found there as well) that they inspect your every move and every word, and literally waiting for you to make your next move to rant about it. 🤦🏼♀️ Like, I don’t have that dedication towards people I follow and like for one or another reason, but those are spending their time on people they don’t even like! 🤦🏼♀️😂
The other thing I thought it was sick that, for example, in your thread there were people who were stating opinion that your wedding dress choice should be on you as you’re the one wearing it, but somebody was just starting to bully that person and might be even saying that this is the place for the rant and roast. 😂 Glorious! 😂 I saw this happening in both yours and other creator’s threads that once somebody was saying smth sane, they were just smashed against the wall for just saying that this is already crossing the lines. The reaction basically was “you’re just a fan of this person”, so, basically, that opinion wasn’t valid, although, a lot of times those opinions quite obviously had nothing to do with being a fan of anyone, just the common sense. 😂
But, yeah, this is quite a huge thing people are doing themselves. Like, I can’t imagine myself plainly wasting my time on stalking a person I totally despice just to post it in a place, where there’s gonna be loads of other sad people waiting for somebody bringing some tea. 😃
Yes! I found a comment thread with people bashing Angie, and I couldn't believe how sad and miserable they were! They were bashing the Helaween palettes. "Halloween" is not just orange, green, red, and black. Costumes come in every color and I like the backstory of Hela and Oden's Eye, Norse mythology, etc. It fits. These people were just miserable. I left them to their misery and came to watch my favorite MUA... Angie!
... and this is exactly why I don't have a UA-cam beauty channel. I've had so many suggest that I start one but I have seen the hateful ugly comments and I personally don't have the personality to handle that. It would be crushing. I don't understand the mentality of leaving - hateful hurtful comments. Apparently a lot of people didn't have mothers who taught them if you have nothing good to say say nothing.
You are a stronger woman than I am Angie. Stay strong. I love your Channel!
Some people are just full of misery and bitterness and they want to spread it with the world, they believe we are their punching bag. UA-cam should somehow allow to totally block certain people's IP from even have access to our videos/channels. It sometimes becomes actual online harassment.
I think it's super weird that some people would keep leaving hate comments and after you block them, they'd go and leave hate comments on other people's videos. Just symptoms of being chronically online I guess. I have way too much to do IRL and even on my computer/mobile to be hating on some online person who I don't even know really lol.
I love what you said about PR being a business transaction. I’ve always understood this which is why I don’t accept any PR or promote codes because I’m not trying to run a business.
I count myself so very lucky that I’ve never had a nasty comment on my channel but it upsets me so much seeing negative comments on other creators videos. If people have nothing nice to say why do they feel the need to say anything 🤷🏼♀️
yeah I mean I have made plenty of friends in this business, but pr is not a gift because you are a friend. it's a hope that you will love the product and help them sell it. but it's always a risk, because the creator might end up hating it too haha
As a pro makeup artist, my concerns were never content creators. It was clients or customers that would take influencer opinions like facts, and literally tell me things like "well, thats not what xyz said, and they have thousands of followers"
It was always the clients interpretations of the content that caused issues for me. They didnt seem to understand that a content creator is speaking to an audience, and a MUA is consulting an individual. Wildly different things. With that said, content creators have absolutley added to my education in many ways. We both have our place.
I heard Johnny Ross on Rebecca Rogers podcast saying something about how it’s aggravating seeing all the beauty channels that haven’t been trained. He compared it to somebody teaching a classroom of kids with no training. I do like his looks but, I laughed because you don’t need a license to do makeup. 🤦🏼♀️
Weird coming from him because he has said before that when he first started his makeup channel, he had no idea what he was doing and he loved the learning process and the journey of self discovery or whatever. Seems pretty entitled to then go back and make a comment like that but idk, maybe I am just seeing it out of context.
As far as Indie brands not needing to be Amazon fast: I am fine with waiting for a product I bought for a week for processing and another week and a half for shipping. But I think it is bad business practice for a product to take over 30 days to reach someone which I have had happen with both Unearthly and Bella Beute Bar. I won’t buy from either brand again because of this business practice. Lots of Indie brands do manage to get it to me within two and half weeks.
I agree that indie brands shouldn't be held to Amazon standards. I also understand that once a product actually ships out, the brand doesn't have any say. On the other side, I do think it's a little interesting how long it takes some brands take to print out a shipping label, package an item, and get said packaged item to USPS/UPS/etc. versus other brands. This is true with both small indie brands as well as large mainstream brands.
For example, rare beauty ships out very quickly in my experience, but colourpop is very slow. On the indie side, brands like Nomad and Blend Bunny package and send out items very quickly, but other brands are slower than molasses. I suspect it is simply a matter of where the brand chooses to prioritize, but for myself I am more likely to order from a brand if they process in a timely fashion (based on the size of the brand - I have higher expectations for Rare than a smaller brand obviously).
That being said, the most important thing here is transparency. If a brand says up front on the site that their processing speed is 15-20 business days, I just don't order if I don't want to wait that long. The only issue is if a brand is not forthcoming with that info.
My issue is with brands that create so much hype for a product/launch, but don’t want to hire enough support to fulfill the orders. Glamlite is particularly bad about this. Once they actually ship my order, I receive it within 2 days, but it takes about a month to get to that point. On the other hand, Melt Cosmetics typically ships within 3-4 days at most when a new product launches… Glamlite has honestly grown to a size which requires more support, even if they just hire temps with these major launches.
100% on people not giving Indie brands room to breathe. One of my favorite earring shops has done 10-15 BD shipping for a couple years. I don't mind the wait at all! As long as I know it takes you longer to ship AND when things happen, you put out an update, I don't mind delayed shipping. People get _so_ mad for the smallest things. Maybe it's my age. At this point, I just don't see the necessity of stupid fast shipping. It's rarely necessary for _wants_ as opposed to _needs._
yeah I agree, I dont mind spending a little extra waiting for something fun, when it's not a need :)
It depends on the brand, and whether or not they’re in a position to know how to handle it. Glamlite, for example, initiates a months-long hype campaign, then can’t seem to be bothered with staffing their warehouse appropriately. There’s absolutely no reason it should take over a month just to have the shipping label created when they’ve teased a launch for 2 months, and they’ve had multiple campaigns of that magnitude…
We love a queen who starts by clarifying terms! ❤
Me too!
One of the hot takes is that some BG pretend to like everything. I'm thinking of one BG I watch who likes almost everything, but I've noticed there are major releases that I'm pretty sure she would be sent, but she just never reviews them. I can't know for sure, but I think she's only featuring products she loves, and ignoring products she hates. This makes sense because she's reviewing mostly indie, often small companies. Again, she's never said this, but I wonder if she doesn't want to hurt a small brand with a negative review, so she just... doesn't review it. This is all speculation on my part of course. But I do think there can be good, honest, honorable reasons for a creator to give all positive reviews.
I swear, I read it twice as “hot cakes”😄🥞🙈
I would love to see a video on hot cakes! 🥞🥞🥞
@@camocm612 😄👍🏻
In the end, I’m here for your indignant raisin impression. I’m with you on that. I have a strong sense of justice and it extends to people telling me they know my thoughts/intentions weren’t what I expressed them to be-because it’s basically questioning my integrity.
The shipping thing! So true. As I've gotten older and have been ordering from more indie and small businesses I am much more understanding about paying for shipping and shipping times in general.
Thanks for addressing my hot take on lip oils :) I agree that it's awesome that there are diverse lip product formulas on the market. Speaking of unique formulas, I just ordered some Kaleidos lip clays for the first time last week and I'm super excited to give them a try.
Oooh, enjoy those lip clays! it's one of my favorite lip formulas
@@Mintysaur I'm glad to hear it :) Which shade is your fav? I had a hard time choosing just 4 for the bundle.
@@Aquakat125I have a few, those being dahlia, (my all time favorite red, not too warm, not too cool, just gorgeous Red) scorpion fruit, (darkest pitch black I've used and my emo heart is in love) and bare (a light, mlbb shade that I ended up loving and reaching for way more often than I thought.)
"Brave for looking like what..... fun???" Yes!!!!!
Hey Angie! I’m a few days late with this comment but wanted to drop it here hoping you’ll read it. You’d mentioned in a recent video that you’re considering taking more sponsorships in order to allow you to create the type of fun content you want to create, rather than just reviewing the new new for views. I wouldn’t mind one tiny bit if you added a sponsor to each and every video. Hello Fresh, Scentbird, Nord VPN, random match-3 video game…whatever it takes for you to earn the money you deserve for your hard work and that’ll allow you to create the cool, fun indie and non-new release content you want to create (and I want to watch!) Just wanted to chime in and let you knowy thoughts on that! Cheers 🥂
I think we should just be a bit more logical ourselves. We get very emotional and very attached to people and things. The beauty community is full of people who are as varied as the people who watch them. Beauty is a business and marketing can take many forms.
Literally like even tho I have my favorite brands that I’m biased to I still can say what I like and don’t like about my fav brands but some other people just pretend and lie about their reviews and it’s honestly toxic and wrong
I always appreciate your balanced and thoughtful perspectives ❤. I love watching you despite having a more neutral aesthetic however you inspire me to stretch a little with what I try ❤
Something that I don't understand is how some makeup viewers complain about creators creating drama and being "problematic", but then they go to makeup forums to trash creators and to be even more dramatic and problematic than the creators they love to criticize.
100% agree
My lips are stuck in 2016 lol. I like how products like lip oils and glosses look on others and I tend to reach for them when I'm wearing very little makeup but when I'm doing my fave makeup style with a full face I'm still out here reaching for matte liquid lipstick. The sephora brand ones are my go-to!!
I enjoy Beauty and the Frizz. She does a monthly round up where she talks about what she has spent too. She’s fun to watch, give her a chance when you get time. 😊
I LOVE HER!! I think she'll blow up soon, she's great! I love her honesty.
When the screen went ZOOOOOM and it freaked me out because it startled me. Was Ricardo helping editing? 😂😂😂❤ You are open and honest. These are what I love. You, Brutally Honest Beauty, Erica Conger (my soul twin. 😂), and Betty Jean. I love you all. ❤😊
No my editor Rachel edits some videos for me and she is for sure more funny than me 😂
I always appreciate how articulate you are. Thank you for this video, and especially for defining “hot take” (cuz I had no idea). As for other creators, I recommend Kerry K!
her looks are so great!
@@AngelicaNyqvist they sure are, and she’s really sweet too
I love Kerry k too!!!!! Her looks are bomb
@@Baby_Goldfish I agree!
I’d definitely recommend Kerry K as well. Sweet, funny, as well as honest and talented.
I love how you can just talk and talk and talk. I don't know I just think it's fun. I like to listen to you while I do my makeup
I’m always shocked when people feel entitled to say horrible things to UA-camrs or state their assumptions about them as if they are fact or tell them to change their lives or their videos. It’s wild. Also I don’t understand emanating that much negative energy all the time. It seems exhausting.
Always speaking the truth! Thanks Angie, we love your content. ❤
I describe my style as trash panda sometimes, lol!! I don't mind when something gets shipped to me, I'm happy with whatever!
I am probably one of those UA-camrs who like most of the makeup products they get (although, not always), but that's because I don't live in the US, which means that I don't get anything in PR or sent to me by a brand to try out, and I am usually very careful about spending my own money on something, so I initially try to buy the products that I will most likely enjoy - another reason for that being that I don't have any extra money to just invest in reviewing for the sake of trying something that I think I might not like, but that people are talking about.
My Helaween bundle just came in the mail! Playing with it now and loving it!!!
woho!
Agreed! I have selected content creators that I trust even if we have different tastes. If all of them looove a product, then I'm IN!!! Whoopie!😂❤
Today’s eye look is lovely - can’t wait for my pallet to arrive.
I absolutely agree with the commentor/audience hot take. I can't believe some of the toxic comments people make. I guess it's easy to do behind a screen and it's not ok. I will never understand why people can't just follow the policy, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. If viewers don't like a creator or what they are doing, move the fluff on! You don't HAVE to leave a nasty comment, don't watch the creator then. Move on. It's not hard and I will never understand it.
As a busy nurse, I do want a lip product that lasts or a super sheer gloss or lip oil that I don’t have to worry about. BUT I want a comfortable long lasting formula, those are hard to find.
You’ve transformed this neutral bronze Smokey eye girl to a colorful peacock in the best way! Which is why I giggled when you mentioned that this was created to show a neutral look 😂. I wore this palette today with Cauldron, Howl, Poison, Crypt Keeper, and Magic Potion 🧙♀️
I like all my makeup, I’ve had a couple flubs but for the most part everything I use works how I like it to 😊
Angie's video before work! My Helaween collection is out for delivery TODAY!!! 🥳
🎉
As a newer and very small (under 100) channel, I've noticed the channels that grow really fast are the ones who play into drama. It's sad to see.
I dont blame ppl, it's what ppl click on and want to see :) but yes, I prefer myself to stay out of it :)
I have a whole new appreciation for indie brands and content creators like yourself. Very hard worker 💪
Love your channel 🖤
Angie, you are amazing and so down-to-earth, your videos are always a breath of fresh air on the internet. also I just received my Little Ghosts palette yesterday and am waiting for the chance to sit down and swatch and play with it!! sending all kinds of love 🧡
1000% agree with the negative comments take and toxicity.
My Helaween palettes should be here tomorrow! I’m so excited ❤ could not agree more with everyone who hates mean and disrespectful comments, especially about people’s appearances. Do people not understand you don’t have to find everyone on this planet physically attractive to be nice? At least for me, I want my comments online to reflect the type of person I am in real life, so I’ll never say anything I wouldn’t say to your face (and I rarely am not nice to someone in person). I don’t say mean shit to people unless they’re mean to me first, but usually I just walk away. Like you’d have to be really mean to me to get me to snap back! 😂 I would never leave a hate comment to anyone, if I don’t like you then I don’t watch you and don’t say anything.
I also don’t understand the hate watching concept. Like why are you wasting time watching videos of someone you don’t like just so you can be rude to them? Instead, watch people you actually want to support? It’s so ridiculous. But I hope you know that you are so valued in this community! Your videos got me out of a makeup rut last year, and I’m so glad I discovered you back then. I’ve been loving and wearing indie makeup ever since I found your channel and I’m never going back! This is the side of the community I feel is more positive and supportive, of course we have some duds 😂 but mostly everyone is so kind and that’s what I’m here for. I’ve been through way too much crap in my life, the last thing I want to see if negative crap online so I don’t follow any of those influencers who love the drama. The indie community is where it’s at ❤ we love you girl!
You’re amazing and such a great person in this space, you’ll always have my support (unless you do something icky which I highly doubt will ever happen) haha. You’re truly one of my faves, you inspire me not just with makeup but in life, you seem genuine and like a kind hearted person. Plus you are just so talented and creative! You’re exactly the type of person I have no issue supporting and I’m glad you’re here! I’d probably still be thinking sephora eyeshadow was the best there was and getting continuously disappointed by the lack of sparkles and dimension in mainstream shadows if it weren’t for you 😂❤
Awe what a lovely and supportive comment to leave for Angie! I also completely agree with you!! Thank you for the time and energy you put into creating these videos we all seem to enjoy and watching!! Cheers
I’m receiving my Helaween palettes tomorrow, I’m so excited🥳🥳🥳. Thank you for the inspiration😘
As a makeup artist myself, honestly, the makeup content I watch is 99% non makeup artists playing with makeup.
Oh man! I keep missing these quizzes!!!
I will never understand why people watch or follow creators that they don’t like. Even creators that I absolutely love, I rarely watch every single video anyway.
I have a meh feeling about some brands that have their PR creators post at exactly the same time. I just skip past those and then don’t even want to buy from that brand because I’m bombarded all at once. 🤷🏼♀️
I actually see far more creators do over the top positive reviews as opposed to over the top negative reviews. Especially in 2023. I don’t remember the last time I saw an over the top negative review on youtube. Tiktok is a different story because it’s so over saturated with “let me try to go viral anyway I can” type content
I also can’t stand the kind of community the drama channels who make exclusively beauty community drama videos foster. I think they’ve done more harm than good and they nitpick the most ridiculous reasons to condemn a creator.
Some huge creators only post a video like once every 8 months or something lol I think that is where the opinion of smaller influencers work harder comes from. Plus if they're trying to make it a career at the beginning it appears from the outside that more content is uploaded which would make us viewers see that as working harder.
Excellent video, Angie! I appreciate your breakdown of all these topics. ❤
Can I say: watch me xD that would be a dream come true!!
I love your take on this! ^-^ so totally see that too! ❤
If everyone on UA-cam is raving about the same things, usually it’s because they’re a new product or trendy product. Example, cream blushes in general. I’ve heard several people say things like “I don’t know why I’m liking cream blushes, I used to not like them”. I guess I’m kinda making two points but people are liking things like cream blushes because they’re everywhere, they are trendy and cool, and they conditioned to think that (because they are everywhere they turn).
People have a lot of suppressed rage and I think use the internet as an outlet for that said rage. I try and think before posting and if I wouldn't say it to their face in person...imma keep my mouth closed lol. 😂
Aldo, shipping! I agree, someone has to pay for it, and I don't mind paying a reasonable price for it, BUT, there's companies out there charging $25 USD for shipping to Canada (Moira cosmetics I see you) so that feels to me like way too much.
when I pay for international shipping I always think anything within the $20-30 is ok. I will say, from shipping myself, shipping to Canada is not cheap, even though you are so close haha
With begging for money, how is someone gonna ask for money while they go on lavish vacations, buy expensive things, and then say they really need money for their family or their pet or their hospital bills? Buying designer clothes, going on a swanky summer vacation while asking for money is a slap in the face to their viewers. And then the influencer says its PR or a paid brand trip... well most of us don't have "free" trips and PR so why are they asking us for money?
Well I think you are an amazing woman! .. bringing out the soapbox.. clearing throat… This is YOUR platform and you have the right to block and tell that person they are rude! Angie, Keep rockin that beautiful self of a person that you are! ❤️
Love love love the makeup look in this video ❤
People who get mad they didn’t receive their order in a day or two should try living in Australia! That might teach them some patience and give them some perspective.
Thank you for a great video! I love the makeup look today. Still one of my favorite looks you created is a green eye look with 3 Natasha Denona palettes. You had so many great one liners like “Brands are not our friends.” I can’t wait to watch the video on this eye look. Have a great day!
Angie I honest to goodness have never read a bad comment about you. If I did I would give them a an etiquette lesson. I know I'm not perfect but some people just can't stand you being YOU!( My guess) Just carry on and continue to wow those of us that think you are absolutely marvelous!!
enjoy your content and your thought process..appreciate you enlightenting your viewers on ALL..hardest part of being a growing creator is having the time to watch others and then also having the time to find others..youtube has been good at now adding new to me channels in my feed!
I really like your eye makeup and would love to know how you did it!❤
Someone I think is fun is Courtney Covino. She is probably pretty extreme for many people. I love the style and fun approach she has. She posts some on youtube, but I enjoy her on instagram. I think you would appreciate the looks!
I can't belive people are so miserable in their own lives that they feel the need to spread that negativity to others! So rude! Those comments world be so hard to read 😢
A lot of brands get a lot of love from a majority of people because, like gourmande girls, nomad, etc they create amazing makeup
Hi Angie. I have à couple of UA-camrs that I think you would enjoy watching, they are both from the UK - Charlotte Holdcroft and Gemma från Pampered Woolf. They are funny and talented, just like you. Thank you for all the work you put in to everything you do. Hugs from Sweden. ❤️🤗
Hey Angie, happy Monday 😊
Morning!
I’ve only had my makeup done by a pro once and they did blue eyeshadow haha
Omg thats amazing though!
Change your husband?! WTF?? I’m so sorry that people assume anyone in the public eye is fair game for stupid comments.
I keep hoping one day we evolve enough, out of the negativity, we don't need to speak up when we do not like free content, just watch something else you don't need to be rude, and if you are called out it is not being rude, everyone has the right to stand up for them selves. Also we all forget that we can change our minds about a product, or the end result of product, our skin type changes all the time, we all live in different places, we are different people, instead of accusing someone of lying about any product, we should be focusing on why someone likes a product, its our money we are spending after all, no one is forcing us to buy or watch anything. Thank you for sharing your thoughts great work as always! ❤
Thanks, Angie!!!

Nah, I don't see a bad attitude from professional MUAs. They have their own techniques are perspectives, and that is fine. They are paid for that reason. The same way that a reviewer may get viewers / paid for their perspective, taste, etc. Plus those professionals have experience applying product to so many faces, I like their confidence, it is deserved.
I really like these videos! Gives us a refreshing step back to be real and share our opinions! ❤
It breaks my heart that people are mean to you. I love your content and personality. your stunning
Social media allows for anonymity, I feel the nasty people are miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too. I wear neutrals but, I love seeing all the bright colors even if I don't use it. I have learned how to apply and use products. I have learned something from all the "creators" I watch. I have a hard dislike for people putting words in my mouth. I have a large colorful vocabulary and they do Not know what I was going to say.
I actually think lip oils are underraaed. And I say that as a person who doesn't like glosses and glossy lips in general, but lip oils are so amazing just to wear at home and as a hydration and for editorial looks, I think lot of people just see them as another type of gloss but the usage and benefits of lip oils are on another level.
About the shipping I would actually really like to have a take on it from some of the brand owners, because I agree with all what you said but then I see some indie brands (and specially in the US) have super expensive shipping in like over 40 dollars cheapest regardless what you order and some other brands can do less then half and its not like the cheaper shipping brand is bigger, it varies a lot and I always wonder what say does the brand actually have into picking which shipping company they will be using or how easy it is to switch the shipping provider because nobody really talks about the actual behind the scenes of the shipping, i think it would explain a lot instead of a brand simply saying 'sorry, cant do anything about this' .yeah, we get it, but why, how come this other shipping option with this other brand is half cheaper.... is it the location from where the brand is shipping... is it the range of the brand, is it the size of the orders that customers usually have ... Maybe it is too much to ask to know and I get that the brand cant share everything about their bussines, but some info would often help people stop bitching about this :D
I’d rather be naive than cynical!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There have been times where I've gotten things and seriously wondered how it has any good reviews lmao but that just shows how different everyone is.
this morning i’m here with the TEA😂❤
Maybe I shouldn't have watched this... I'm so sad about all rude criticism you've gotten 😭
Thank you for being so creative and such a spit fire. Is that a back handed compliment? It's supposed to be a compliment, compliment!
People who have the need to spread unwarranted, crude negativity deserve nothing but pity since clearly they aren't well. Thank you for never compromising your authenticity.
I have a question, or maybe an opinion for you, since you've been a makeup artist. I feel like if someone doesn't know how to do something, that's when they pay someone else to do it. In my experience with friends, and customers when I worked at Ulta, people who wear super colorful makeup are willing to spend time to learn it and money for the products. I feel like the people who pay makeup artists for help are the people who don't know how to do their own makeup at all, because they haven't really cared enough to learn, so they just want something simple.
Thats probably true :)
I’m always so torn about my channel, I want to do well and grow but I’m so tiny that the people who watch my videos actually like hanging out with me. I get “pr” from one brand and I would never not be honest. Even if it got me kicked off🤪. I genuinely enjoy your videos and am so glad you’re on the UA-cams!! Also, I’m loving the new collection 🥳
Thank you! And as long as you are enjoying it you are absolutely doing the right thing :D
@@AngelicaNyqvist thank you. I’m definitely enjoying it!!🥰
My helaween palettes should be arriving the day after tomorrow! I cannot wait! So excited ❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy it! :D
@@AngelicaNyqvist I’m sure I will! Congratulations again ❤️
Hateful comments are so useless. I feel that these people are just angry and opinionated people with no lives. You can leave something constructive that is worded in a polite manner. I just love these online "bullies". I had left a comment about a star's buccal fat removal surgery in a creator's comment section. This was the topic! The person called me an "ugly bitch who doesn't know shit." I laughed at the lunacy but I can see how people can become affected. I love your content and how upfront you are!
when it comes to MUA influencers I think I see the pretentious attitude more on insta than here on youtube (maybe because of what the platform/algorithm surfaces) and I just get turned off by things that try to hook people with "You're applying you _____ wrong" (insert product here, foundation, concealer contour whatever) and much prefer make up artists who take a " if you want x effect try y technique" approach but have definitely seen examples of both
