I found your answer about aging brutally honest and refreshing. So, as a 58 year old subscriber that watches you and many others regularly let me tell you this....you ARE beautiful but you are just as talented. You have a great knowledge of the make-up and skincare world. You clearly understand and artfully utilize the theory of color. You have a fierce (in a good way) personality. And clearly a great work ethic. You’re going to age....trust me, we can’t stop it. But I suspect you’re going to do it with style.
You are talented. You are smart. You are strong af. You are a great mom. You are a great wife. You are a badass. You are beautiful with NO HAIR, BLUE HAIR POLKA DOT HAIR. you are positive. You are honest. You are kind. I appreciate you. Phewww I had to get that off my chest. I was getting heated lol. Have a blessed Sunday Mel xoxo I hope your knee is coming along 💜🏍
HARLEY JENN MC I only followed her since few weeks and she is really a great makeup artist on UA-cam and wanted to know her better, just watched her tattoos story video and this one and I wanted to say that I think she is clever, really strong, brave, she has an original and personal style and I am impressed that she has an other job and children, do not change!
Mel, I have to tell you that I am absolutely stunned, shocked and disgusted by most of these questions. It is unbelievable that people actually think of these questions and then have the nerve to ask you these absurd questions. You are a great, incredibly talented MUA. You seem to be a very nice person who is completely dedicated to their spouse and family and you are soooo beautiful! Things like your sexuality and finances are your own business and you should not have to answer to your subscribers. You are here to review makeup and show us how you use it; you do an excellent job at both. I don't get how people think they are entitled to be privy to your personal information; I chalk it up to how much social media has destroyed good manners and common decency. I guess maybe I am 'too old'!!! Love you, Ginny 😘😘😘
Wow !! That is just amazing what people think that they are entitled to know. Damn I would block them also. You are not obligated to answer any of them. It’s nobody’s business. You do a great job giving us great information. Thank you. There are much older women out there on UA-cam not just 20 year olds. There are a couple in late 60’s and are still beautiful. You rock.
Never too old !!! Thank you for your comment! 💓 I totally agree with everything you said! 🙏🏽 People can be so rude & inconsiderate of others. I love Mel’s channel & appreciate her honest reviews. She is so talented & very creative with her looks as well. Thanks again for your comment! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 😊
I already miss your presence on UA-cam so much. Your passing has left a huge hole in the heart of the beauty community. Rest in peace, Mel. You were truly special. ❤❤❤
Michele, I stumbled on your channel awhile ago and recently (yesterday) watched your video reviewing Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate foundation (love your channel, by the way). That's how I found Mel's channel (she also did a review on TF's S&I foundation). What an awesome spirit she has. I totally agree with you! You both are a delight to watch!
Age is absolutely just a number! Why should anyone shame you for making videos at 42? That's insane. I have a feeling whoever is shaming you is just jealous. I am almost 68 and have never had one single birthday that bothered me. I have purple and blue hair, wear the latest makeup, my last guy (who lived with me for 8 years) was 25 years younger than me and I don't even act my age. I'm not even sure how my age is supposed to act! LOL I watch a lot of youtubers (beauty and otherwise) from their 20's to one of my favorites who is 75 (I think) Her channel is rxstrmom and she is adorable. I would be happy if I look as good as she does when I'm 75.
I strongly this dislike this aspect of Social Media. Many people feel that because its a comment section this gives them the right to say whatever and ask whatever they want. People have totally lost tact, kindness, and consideration. This was actually painful to watch, because I can't believe people would ask such intrusive/personal questions. Desi P just did an emotional video asking people not to make comments or ask certain questions. Im really sorry this your experience and you felt the need to address this foolishness. You did it with class and beauty! You're amazing, clearly hard working, and beautiful! I wish you many more blessings in marriage, motherhood, and work! Especially marriage since they brought that negative energy.. You will never have to change your channel name!
Mel, I loved this video! You go girl! I am a 61 year young woman who watches your channel for great reviews, tutorials and a whole lot of fun! Please keep up the great videos and you will always have my support!
I can only imagine how uncomfortable answering these are! I had no idea about your legs girl, how many surgeries, your insecurities about that, that you can’t walk as well as you’d like. 💗💗 I’m so so sorry. You are so beautiful, inside and out, you have amazing skill at makeup it’s so admirable, and I really admire your honesty. It’s only going to get us to connect to you more! Ps. Totally agree about that question re: your channel name! If someone says “what if you get divorced” etc, not cool. Don’t speak that into the air! So I’m going to speak into the air that I can’t WAIT for you to tell us about your anniversaries and all the love you and puffin are going to share over the years 💕💕
I just want to say it's so nice to have a UA-camr around my own age (33 here), that can show me how to try new things that look tasteful while also being fun on my so-not-20-year-old skin. I appreciate the emotional maturity that you have on your channel too...the fact that you don't have to do stupid tricks to get others to watch your channel and are so down to earth is so refreshing. Thank you for being you! 💗
Maricris R. Yeah I won his blood sugar palette from a friend and I appreciate it sm , and it’s nice to have bc I don’t have a lot of makeup but I love my Juvia’s Place more. Tbh..
Your answer on how you handle aging hits SO close to home. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’d also like to say, major kudos to you for even answering some of the insanely RUDE questions. You’re an incredible person and I quite admire the the grace you have with how you deal with anything thrown your way. Speaking as a high functioning paraplegic with an autoimmune disorder, you’ve been handling everything beautifully from what I see.
One of the reasons I subscribed was because of your age! I don't want advice from a 20 year old. I want to hear from someone with experience and knowledge. I appreciate all of your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you for providing us with honest and mature reviews! You are entitled to your private life, please don't ever feel the need to justify anything about yourself. Most of us follow you for the right reasons, to learn and be inspired to do better. You are amazing! ❤️
Just wanted to say Mel, it’s a testament to your character that you’re able to answer these questions. No one is entitled to the answers to some of these rude questions but yet you’re calm and you answer with peace and grace. I admire that greatly. You’re an incredible artist. You inspire and give off so much positivity. We are blessed to have you on UA-cam xx
I think you are very articulate, an independent woman and you seem very real. . . and yes, super talented. I’ve learned all kinds of makeup tricks from you and bought stuff you recommended and that makes you also trustworthy. Much love to you!
Well spoken, kind, and relatable. You are more than your artistry, your inner beauty highlights your outward appearance, which comes across in your video's. Some of those rude/awkward questions just baffle me- doesn't matter if you're on social media, some questions are best left unasked. Kudos to you for answering them. I love you, Mel, my fandamntastic friend. 💜
I am almost 40 (next year) and I went through the SAME thing you're going through about aging when I was in my early 30's. As I got through my late 30's I was happier than I have ever been (there is something amazing that happens to a woman in her late 30's, you become VERY confident in your own skin, it's such a beautiful thing). And, I recently started my own youtube channel because of that confidence and helping women who are almost 40 and saying "I can't wear my makeup like I did in my early 30's". I love how honest you are in this video, and, you're sooooo talented, yeeeees, I am pretty sure most people are here subbing because of your talent. It's just a bonus you have a goooorgeous face to look at❤❤ P.S. ive been conflicted about Jeffree Star and reviewing his products, and you just inspired me to follow my heart and walk away from reviewing his stuff. He's nothing I stand for and I appreciate you being so honest and it struck me deep❤❤ Thanks babe..
@@Kendralovesskincare Oh my Gosh❤❤ I wrote this comment 3 years ago not knowing she would become one of my DEAREST friends🦋 Wow, Thank you for commenting.❤❤❤
@@TaraLynnbeauty I realized that when reading it😥 I'm so sorry for your loss.... I've spent the past few days binging her content and soaking up her pure spirit and infectious love of life. 💔
I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything on the internet anymore, but I'm still always shocked when I see people posting rude comments/questions. I think you really handled these amazingly; I couldn't see myself being as classy or as patient as you!
❤️💔💔 OMG some of those questions made my blood boil. Mel you were so much more than a pretty face. You're warm, caring, genuine, talented, articulate and above all else you're loved by so many people ❤️💔💔
People can be very clueless about the realities of living with chronic illness, chronic pain & ongoing physical challenges/injuries but because everyone has experienced acute pain & have been sick at one time or another THEY THINK they know. You can't even compare two people with chronic pain or two people who have the same chronic disease/diagnosis because illness/pain/injuries manifest themselves differently in different people.I've found that the people who like to question how others are handling their pain/illness in a way that suggests that they think you are somehow doing it wrong, like the commenter did, are usually very ungrateful people who take their health (& other things) for granted. You are clearly doing exceptionally well coping & functioning despite your knee/health issues & I imagine you could teach us all a thing or two about resilience, persistence & "being positive" in the face of significant challenges. I think you should be proud of yourself & hope your see that your strength & resilience are among those "other things" besides your beauty that you can draw your sense of self & your self-esteem from. I love your channel.❤️
That last question really struck me. You were so open and honest about how you're aware that you're gorgeous and because that's what people initially see you as, that it becomes harder for your other traits to be acknowledged. Thank you for being so transparent about that and even from someone who just loves watching your videos, I can see so many other beautiful qualities that you possess. I really hope you continue to grow and notice them as well aside from your all around beauty because you are worth so much!! Love you Mel!
You're so much more than a pretty face.. You're a faithful and devoted wife and friend! You're a patient mother (from what I witnessed on a video or two). You're funny and down to earth. You're a risk taker but you stay true to your values. You've suffered and that too has formed your character. Did I mention your loyalty to those you live, lol? It's all so obvious. Beauty and artistry are just small manifestations of who you really are. As you age, and you will, all that will refine, grow and mature. What's to fear? God love you!! Long time sub here, oxxx Sis
The whole reason why I love you is that I find you so unique!! a small part of your uniqueness is your hair and tattoos, and a big part is the way you are, how you talk, and your personality!
You handled these questions with such style and respect!!!! I think you are absolutely stunning and i am super jealous that I cant rock that short hair!!! 😘
Wow, you handled these questions with such poise and grace. Questions you didn’t have to answer, no less. I haven’t even been watching your channel for very long (a few months, I think?) but in that time it has been apparent to me how hard you work and the incredible level of skill you have.
I actually prefer that you are older than the other influencers, it's showing the products on a person similar to myself. So keeping doing what you do 😀
I have been a professional artist for years. I never miss your videos. You are beautiful, honest and a fabulous artist. Haters and jealous people always want to pull happy people down. Roll on girl! You are special.
Thank you for sharing & being open, I am 44yrs young & I for one am thankful that there are more mature women I can follow for tutorials & advice. My make up skills have significantly improved since watching you! Yes you are very beautiful, & I think a great & positive person, but more than that you are an artist, your make up, your tattoos, even your hair! I am glad that I stumbled across this channel ❤️
I’m a 55 year old woman with MS and multiple other systemic illnesses, and I adore you! I had absolutely no idea that you had any knee or mobility problems... I just imagined myself one of your older fans who considers you an absolute beauty with limitless talent. None of these questions ever crossed my mind. I adore, admire, and appreciate all the great information and ideas you share.
Very serious video, would love a part #2. I'm so shocked ppl will actually ask this personal things... Mel you are so beautiful inside and out. Don't let messages make you think otherwise.... Xoxo
I’m blown away at some of these questions people have the audacity to ask. Just, wow! I think you are a very positive person. And never did I question your gender/sexuality. Thank you for your honesty!
I really love your videos because you are so very genuine. There are so many people without manners (southern belle here) that are rude and nosy. I'm sorry there have been so many people that have questioned you. I think you are beautiful, and I really value your opinion. I wish blessings for you and your family.❤️
Brave woman. Giving you a big hug for responding to sometimes horrible questions:) It is not only your look or how great make up artist you are. You are also sensible and reasonable in your reviews, honest and most of all very articulate. Definitely you have that "something" that makes you a fanastic video presenter.
Soooo strange that someone would say be more positive - your positivity is one of the things that draws me to your channel. As a matter of fact when you say you have to have another surgery I'm like damn look at how positive this girl is, I have to be more like that! It's unfortunate that this was said & that it stuck out in your mind - I doubt it's anything anyone else thinks
Your channel is one of my favorites not only are you creative but you always review what I'm interested in. I cant believe the questions people have asked you there is clearly no thought or filter these days. Also as a woman who's had short hair for years its incredibly frustrating when people question your sexuality. I think you rock your haircut well and I look forward to more Q/A's.
This is the first time I watch video like this and I am shocked of the question people asked. I do not anderstand why anyone think that you owe him answers. I think that we live in a time that people are confused about boundaries and d'ont recpect them. I wish you well! You are beautyful inside and out! You are a beautyful human being!
I have so much respect and admiration for you to have done this video and can relate with many of the subjects you’ve touched on. I’m 40 years young and have a rare chronic illness, Gastroparesis, which is basically paralysis of the stomach. My case is very severe and I’ve actually been on a 24hr feeding tube for the past (almost) 4 years, as I cannot tolerate food by mouth anymore. At my worse I was 64 lbs in the ICU. I was up to about 87 at one point but due to complications and am probably around 70 right now. So yes, I totally understand your insecurities, frustrations, all of that. In high school whenever I would say my stomach was bothering me so many people would say, “you’re such a hypochondriac”. People are always making comments about my weight. Telling me, “you need to get some weight on you”. Really? Do ya think? Can you imagine I I went up to an overweight person and said, “you really should try and lose some weight for your health”? I’m also self conscious about my tubes. Lol, they’re just not that sexy. I’m fairly new to the whole world of beauty/makeup on UA-cam and actually started watching them to try and find ways to make my face look fuller. And sorry, but it’s difficult to be positive all of the time in general. Especially when you’re in pain, anxious, etc. Like you, I try to laugh about as much as I can. Or yea, I’ll sob😭. When you were talking about aging it made me think of a shirt I got from a thrift shop. I was probably around 21 at the time. It said, “I know I’m beautiful. Tell me I’m efficient”. I never really understood that until I got older. And I have to bring up your hair. Girrrl, it’s F’ing fabulous. I’ve had some super short hairstyles and have actually wanted to go as short as yours, but never had the balls to do it. You have an incredibly gorgeous face and I love that your hair showcases that work of art. But this video shows how much unbelievable class you possess. Thanks so, so much for sharing yourself with the world. Sending tons of love your way😚✨✨❤️. Wow, I didn’t realize how long the comment was. Sorry for the short novel;)) And I would love to see a part 2 to this. As well as a part 3, 4, 5...
Thank you so much for sharing!! You didn't have to put yourself out there and answer those questions and I appreciate it. I love your channel and appreciate all your hard work. Thanks again Mel!
Speaking of the other, “younger” influencers...Mel, I think you are WAY out of their league. You create the most beautiful, professional looks. I always come to you for your honesty and tutorials. Yesterday I was binging all Pat McGrath tutorials because I just got 3 palettes. You’re just the best!
Boy, she looks beautiful in this video. Superb make-up. You don't have to worry about aging now beautiful. You will always be young and always be beautiful. RIP sweet girl.
You have a bright enthusiastic personality and genuine appreciation of makeup. Watching your channel is a pickup for me .I hope you don't have to have anymore surgeries! Great job answering nosey weird questions! FYI 32 is a very young
Girl, I already loved you for being a classy country girl. I love you even more for everything you said!! 😘 You handled that like a champ. Don’t let the YT negativity suck you in or dominate your thoughts. They are relentless and will only want more. Focus on the love and support you receive from tens of thousands of people! Love you bunches!!💕
Hi Mel, I'm 2hrs east of Nashville, born/raised. How great is it to live in such a beautiful area with the lakes and the mountains, and yes, even our little townships.
I just love you and your videos. You always make me smile and positive is an attribute I would say you embody. I’m in agreement on JS and KVD opinions. It’s frustrating to know we are surrounded by so many people who are rude and judgmental and can hide behind a screen. You are wonderful!
Omg Mel!!! I cannot believe how many people are just rude and lack common sense for social interaction. If you wouldn’t ask or say this to a person in real life face to face, why is it okay to be a part of the keyboard mafia? With that being said, you’re amazing! Beyond beauty, I trust your honesty and your artistry. And as a fellow mama working full time with family and hubs, I admire your dedication to your channel and the growth of your channel. I don’t have time to shower uninterrupted so I know your struggle. Keep staying beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️
Mel some people are just too rude and bold and it’s none of their business. I think you are very talented and I love your channel. Thanks so much for all the tutorials!
I find it incredible that there are so many rude, judgmental, intrusive people that assume that not only are these sort of questions acceptable to ask, but also assume you are obliged to answer and justify them! I really like your videos for your professional content, your fantastic skills and happy demeanour and I’ve learned a lot from you on how to improve my skills. This 50 year old thinks you are fab!
You’re AWESOME!!!! Seriously, Mel, screw these people who ask you stupid questions. I think YT, FB and IG allow people to hide behind the curtain. Thank you for answering these questions you were asked once upon a time ago but seriously don’t ever feel like you need to! Love your channel and reviews on all things make up!!!
It's the first time I watch your videos and I cant stop doing it. Love your almonds shape eyes, Listen Mel, I don't know why you don't have millions of followers, your channel is professional, clean, organized, honest, you are so full of integrity. Each hair style you have on is just for you, on you they look perfect. TALENTED ONE!!!!
Finally!! A beauty guru that's my age. That's why I find you to be so attractive (personality wise....obviously you are beautiful too) . You aren't obnoxious, you're straight to the point, honest & we have similar tastes & wants in products. I also love the fact that you're a mom
Thanks for answering these questions Mel...to be honest I was curious about the a lot of the questions myself...thanks for keeping it real :) love your channel..always look forward to your reviews
You are such a real and genuine person, people who make hurtful comments take out their frustrations on others especially people they don’t know personally. Keep being the lovely person you are ❤️
You said you are worried about aging because people have have focused more on your beauty than the other great things about you. I have to tell you that I love watching you because you are smart, talented, strong and real. I’m and older viewer so I appreciate the no drama just professional content you put out. Yes you are beautiful but your other attributes are why I keep watching. Don’t worry because you are going to stay gorgeous as well as show others what you got. 💪❤️
I love your honesty, enthusiasm, art and beauty. You are such a classy lady. I can’t believe you even addressed this stuff. I have to find humor in people saying you’re not positive. You’re one of the most uplifting and talented people I’ve watched.
I LOVE you EXACTLY as you are !!! Those persons who feel that they can criticize and critique you as a person and lifestyle....shame on them !!! Yes, you may be on a public forum but that does NOT give them a right to be rude and intrusive. You keep being you - because for the majority of us follow you because your funny, engaging, informative and beautiful inside and out !!!
I agree some of these questions were rude and just plain uncalled for but the way you handled them and your answers show your character. You do some awesome makeup looks and your just an cool person all around. I’m glad I found your channel a few months back
Mel I just want to say that you have a beautiful soul and we all support and love your personality, artistry, silly sense of humor, laugh, smile, heart, everything! I always feel insecure but your videos have helped me get through sad and negative times. Thanks for always being there and even though I don’t have the honor to see/meet you in person, I still feel like you’re such a close friend. You are honest with all you do and say and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, much love from South Texas! Xoxoxo
Why are people so rude?? You are a beautiful, capable, creative, and kind person. I love your short hair! I get comments/questions like that all the time too and I wanna scream because I love my short hair. You are unique and handled these questions wonderfully.
Love how you answered these questions, you put the little "trolls" in their place & politely answered the questions at the same time...I love it & you. It would be great if you did this like every 3 -6 months or so make it into a little series, that''ll be cool.
While I wouldn't ever ask such questions, I appreciated you being courageous enough to answer them. Your answer to the aging question got me a bit because I hate to see someone with so many good qualities doubt themself. So as you age remember that even those of us who don't really "know you" see how funny, kind, hardworking, genuine, and artistic you are. Keep it up girl!
I agree with you on Jeffery. He is not the type of person I want or can support. I’ve heard great things about the quality of his products, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll use my dollars elsewhere.
Mel you are truly gorgeous inside and out. I'm now 43 and you inspire me so much. I have health issues and have given up pills that masked some of the pain but didn't allow me to function properly for my family so I gave them up and put up with the pain, I'm scared of more surgery as things always go wrong on me 😩 keep being who you are and be true to yourself and thank you for inspiring me 💕
Omg... I get a bit annoyed by the questions you got. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut! I think you handle yourself really well and know that we love you :)
I love every answer!!!! I watch your videos as soon as they come out and appreciate your talent so much. I'm 58 and still care very much about my skin care, makeup, hair and health. I'm always learning something new from you and I Thank You.. sending smiles, Lisa Napper
Wow, people need other stuff to worry about with these questions. I’ve been watching you for about a year and I love your channel! I think you’re beautiful, love your content, really enjoy your personality and have learned a lot from you. I appreciate the hard work you put into your channel, thank you! Ignore theses rude people, you’re fabulous!
I guess being older it never would occur to me to ask some of these question! Some people have no boundaries 🤯. I love your short hair, not many can carry that cut but you do beautifully. Your uniqueness and honestly is what makes me come back.
I’m so surprised by some of those questions. I understand that you put yourself out there for us but why some people think they deserve more information about your personal life is beyond me! I’m grateful to you for not just letting those questions get to you and giving up on UA-cam completely because you are an amazing artist and such a positive, energetic person to watch. I love your reviews and everything else on your channel. I hope people learn to respect you more
You're very inspiring.. you're beautiful inside and out no matter what you look like.. I've loved watching your channel since I found you, you're very real and honest and I love that of course ❤️
I always find you upbeat and happy. Also, take it from a 53 year old, you just do the best you can with your skin. Be it your diet and the products you use. Remember, your subscribers will be getting older as well and will look to your expertise on how to make their make up work. Love your channel.
I think you’re great and positive and I think you should have waaaaayyyy more subbies! I’ll watch u forever Mel! You’ve been my new Jaclyn for the past few months.
This was a great video! There are so many disrespectful people hiding behind the anonymity of their screens. I have stage 4 breast cancer and keep getting emails from people saying everything from me needing to use more ginger in my diet, that I should go vegan, that they can heal me over the phone and to the fact that the Lord will help me if I pray more. I hate reading stuff like that. I somehow feel they're intruding on my life.. I must say that you really ARE a beautiful woman but that was not what drew me to your channel. It was your knowledge, your fabulous tutorials and, most of all, your personality. Personality is key to making it big and you got it in heapes :) And you're quite convincing, too. After watching your channel I've gone from Maybelline to Linda Hallberg, Hourglass, Esteé Lauder, Becca ++ and I look better than I've looked since I was 20 (now 42). Thank you so much for all you've taught me and the joy I feel when watching you videos :) Kind regards, Gunnhild
I’m not going to give you any unsolicited advice but what I will say is that I am so sorry for what you are going through. Nobody knows what it’s like unless they have been there. In my opinion, people that are hurting need an ear to listen... not advice on how to get better. You are in my thoughts . I appreciate your support more than you know ❤️❤️❤️
I’m older, but have knee problems and trouble with long distances too. Thanks for talking a bit about the depression that goes along with it... when you good, feel good but have a problem it is hard
I am a regular viewer, always thumbs up your videos but have rarely commented. I did not realize people were saying such mean and rude things to. you. :(. I watch your channel because you are very good at teaching and explaining everything from what you like about certain products and how to use them. You are an artist! When you have had your surgeries I truly felt sad for you and said prayers quick recovery. Though you didn't need to, thank you for sharing. xo, Cowgirl Deb
Great responses. Never ceases to amaze me what people say or ask...sometimes is so inappropriate that it is hard not to be offended. You handled it well. On the subject of aging...I just turned 55. I was always called the smart one but I prided myself on looking good and have been a makeup fiend since I was allowed to start using it. I was told I was pretty but I did not internalize that as my strength. It is great that you are embracing all the other great things about you that will be there no matter how you change physically. You are a fantastic accomplished artist and from we hear a wonderful genuine person. Thank you
Aww I’m fairly new to your channel, I knew basically nothing about you but subbed because your reviews are spot on and your relaxing to watch do makeup. You already felt relatable and now I think you’re a sweetheart and I’m sorry you get such strange and invasive questions. Please don’t feel the need to answer such questions that make you feel uncomfortable or invaded. If any, I’d figure a makeup product or technique one are reasonable. Just because you make videos doesn’t mean you’re required to have your privacy violated or such. 💙
It’s unbelievable that people think it’s okay to ask such personal, inappropriate questions!! You answered everything with such class!! And I love your hair!!
I completely understand your leg insecurity. I like you have had 15 orthopedic surgeries and basically my entire lower right leg is nerve damage. I have horrible scars, I’ve had my leg lengthen 4 1/2 inches and had 20 pens screw through my bone. And every single one of those holes is basically a hole indent on my leg. When I was younger I cared a lot more and never wore shorts. But now that i’m older I just don’t care as much. I think the thing that bothers me the most is when people stare and don’t ask. It’s one thing to ask so I can explain to you what happened, but when you just stare at me like I’m a freak then I get very uncomfortable
Seriously you’re my favorite new beauty UA-camr, I’m binging on your content since I discovered your channel! I just wanted to say as a 33 year old with a similar aesthetic you’re a breath of fresh air!
Good for you for not supporting Jeffree Star. Your thoughts mirror my own. He is not a nice person. I’m not throwing my coin at that. Love your channel!
I'm a long-time fan and have literally never commented, but I just have to say - MAD RESPECT for you! I recently had elbow surgery, so the fact that you have gone through so many surgeries and gotten through like a bad-ass is inspiriational! Much love from another Mom in her thirties!
Love you Mel! And as a WOC who's rocked short hair for 20+ years I tell people "it's a hairstyle, not a lifestyle."
Johanna Kitzenberger Same girl. 😘 Mel's my hair twin.
I found your answer about aging brutally honest and refreshing. So, as a 58 year old subscriber that watches you and many others regularly let me tell you this....you ARE beautiful but you are just as talented. You have a great knowledge of the make-up and skincare world. You clearly understand and artfully utilize the theory of color. You have a fierce (in a good way) personality. And clearly a great work ethic. You’re going to age....trust me, we can’t stop it. But I suspect you’re going to do it with style.
Sue TomFordLaw diddo from a 53 yr old subscriber!!!
Great response, Sue! 51!
Agreed, from just under 50
You are talented.
You are smart.
You are strong af.
You are a great mom.
You are a great wife.
You are a badass.
You are beautiful with NO HAIR, BLUE HAIR POLKA DOT HAIR.
you are positive.
You are honest.
You are kind.
I appreciate you.
Phewww I had to get that off my chest. I was getting heated lol. Have a blessed Sunday Mel xoxo I hope your knee is coming along 💜🏍
Thank you from the bottom of my heart :)
HARLEY JENN MC I only followed her since few weeks and she is really a great makeup artist on UA-cam and wanted to know her better, just watched her tattoos story video and this one and I wanted to say that I think she is clever, really strong, brave, she has an original and personal style and I am impressed that she has an other job and children, do not change!
Mel, I have to tell you that I am absolutely stunned, shocked and disgusted by most of these questions. It is unbelievable that people actually think of these questions and then have the nerve to ask you these absurd questions. You are a great, incredibly talented MUA. You seem to be a very nice person who is completely dedicated to their spouse and family and you are soooo beautiful! Things like your sexuality and finances are your own business and you should not have to answer to your subscribers. You are here to review makeup and show us how you use it; you do an excellent job at both. I don't get how people think they are entitled to be privy to your personal information; I chalk it up to how much social media has destroyed good manners and common decency. I guess maybe I am 'too old'!!! Love you, Ginny 😘😘😘
Wow !! That is just amazing what people think that they are entitled to know. Damn I would block them also. You are not obligated to answer any of them. It’s nobody’s business. You do a great job giving us great information. Thank you. There are much older women out there on UA-cam not just 20 year olds. There are a couple in late 60’s and are still beautiful. You rock.
Never too old !!! Thank you for your comment! 💓 I totally agree with everything you said! 🙏🏽 People can be so rude & inconsiderate of others. I love Mel’s channel & appreciate her honest reviews. She is so talented & very creative with her looks as well. Thanks again for your comment! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! 😊
I already miss your presence on UA-cam so much. Your passing has left a huge hole in the heart of the beauty community. Rest in peace, Mel. You were truly special. ❤❤❤
I love you even more now! Great questions, even better answers!! 😘
Michele, I stumbled on your channel awhile ago and recently (yesterday) watched your video reviewing Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate foundation (love your channel, by the way). That's how I found Mel's channel (she also did a review on TF's S&I foundation). What an awesome spirit she has. I totally agree with you! You both are a delight to watch!
P.S. I ended up buying the foundation because of you. LOL
I hear u on the aging part. I'm 42 n still making UA-cam videos. I get age shamed but I'm happy with my age. Thanks for this video😘😘
Just a number! You're beautiful and smarter and rocking it.
Age is absolutely just a number! Why should anyone shame you for making videos at 42? That's insane. I have a feeling whoever is shaming you is just jealous. I am almost 68 and have never had one single birthday that bothered me. I have purple and blue hair, wear the latest makeup, my last guy (who lived with me for 8 years) was 25 years younger than me and I don't even act my age. I'm not even sure how my age is supposed to act! LOL I watch a lot of youtubers (beauty and otherwise) from their 20's to one of my favorites who is 75 (I think) Her channel is rxstrmom and she is adorable. I would be happy if I look as good as she does when I'm 75.
You are brave for taking on these questions girl!! Kudos!
I strongly this dislike this aspect of Social Media. Many people feel that because its a comment section this gives them the right to say whatever and ask whatever they want. People have totally lost tact, kindness, and consideration. This was actually painful to watch, because I can't believe people would ask such intrusive/personal questions. Desi P just did an emotional video asking people not to make comments or ask certain questions. Im really sorry this your experience and you felt the need to address this foolishness. You did it with class and beauty! You're amazing, clearly hard working, and beautiful! I wish you many more blessings in marriage, motherhood, and work! Especially marriage since they brought that negative energy.. You will never have to change your channel name!
Mel,
I loved this video! You go girl! I am a 61 year young woman who watches your channel for great reviews, tutorials and a whole lot of fun! Please keep up the great videos and you will always have my support!
I can only imagine how uncomfortable answering these are! I had no idea about your legs girl, how many surgeries, your insecurities about that, that you can’t walk as well as you’d like. 💗💗 I’m so so sorry. You are so beautiful, inside and out, you have amazing skill at makeup it’s so admirable, and I really admire your honesty. It’s only going to get us to connect to you more!
Ps. Totally agree about that question re: your channel name! If someone says “what if you get divorced” etc, not cool. Don’t speak that into the air! So I’m going to speak into the air that I can’t WAIT for you to tell us about your anniversaries and all the love you and puffin are going to share over the years 💕💕
Thank you!!! I appreciate you so much!
I just want to say it's so nice to have a UA-camr around my own age (33 here), that can show me how to try new things that look tasteful while also being fun on my so-not-20-year-old skin. I appreciate the emotional maturity that you have on your channel too...the fact that you don't have to do stupid tricks to get others to watch your channel and are so down to earth is so refreshing. Thank you for being you! 💗
I agree with you with Jeffree Starrr. Some of his products are tempting to me but I can't buy any of it.
Maricris R. Yeah I won his blood sugar palette from a friend and I appreciate it sm , and it’s nice to have bc I don’t have a lot of makeup but I love my Juvia’s Place more. Tbh..
Your answer on how you handle aging hits SO close to home. I know EXACTLY how you feel. I’d also like to say, major kudos to you for even answering some of the insanely RUDE questions. You’re an incredible person and I quite admire the the grace you have with how you deal with anything thrown your way. Speaking as a high functioning paraplegic with an autoimmune disorder, you’ve been handling everything beautifully from what I see.
❤️
One of the reasons I subscribed was because of your age! I don't want advice from a 20 year old. I want to hear from someone with experience and knowledge. I appreciate all of your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you for providing us with honest and mature reviews! You are entitled to your private life, please don't ever feel the need to justify anything about yourself. Most of us follow you for the right reasons, to learn and be inspired to do better. You are amazing! ❤️
Just wanted to say Mel, it’s a testament to your character that you’re able to answer these questions. No one is entitled to the answers to some of these rude questions but yet you’re calm and you answer with peace and grace. I admire that greatly.
You’re an incredible artist. You inspire and give off so much positivity. We are blessed to have you on UA-cam xx
I think you are very articulate, an independent woman and you seem very real. . . and yes, super talented. I’ve learned all kinds of makeup tricks from you and bought stuff you recommended and that makes you also trustworthy. Much love to you!
Well spoken, kind, and relatable. You are more than your artistry, your inner beauty highlights your outward appearance, which comes across in your video's. Some of those rude/awkward questions just baffle me- doesn't matter if you're on social media, some questions are best left unasked. Kudos to you for answering them. I love you, Mel, my fandamntastic friend. 💜
I am almost 40 (next year) and I went through the SAME thing you're going through about aging when I was in my early 30's. As I got through my late 30's I was happier than I have ever been (there is something amazing that happens to a woman in her late 30's, you become VERY confident in your own skin, it's such a beautiful thing). And, I recently started my own youtube channel because of that confidence and helping women who are almost 40 and saying "I can't wear my makeup like I did in my early 30's". I love how honest you are in this video, and, you're sooooo talented, yeeeees, I am pretty sure most people are here subbing because of your talent. It's just a bonus you have a goooorgeous face to look at❤❤ P.S. ive been conflicted about Jeffree Star and reviewing his products, and you just inspired me to follow my heart and walk away from reviewing his stuff. He's nothing I stand for and I appreciate you being so honest and it struck me deep❤❤ Thanks babe..
Tara Lynn I agree, I'm 42, Im more confident and happy with how I look than when I was younger. I feel like, this is me and I love me😊
Debbie Tomassi YAY🙌🙌 That's amazing... I swear it was like the transformation of the century. Haha. I'm so happy for you❤❤❤ It's pretty amazing🌺🌺
I agree with comment something happens once you reach your 40s.... Mel unfortunately didn't get too reach those freeing years😢💔 RIP Mel....
@@Kendralovesskincare Oh my Gosh❤❤ I wrote this comment 3 years ago not knowing she would become one of my DEAREST friends🦋 Wow, Thank you for commenting.❤❤❤
@@TaraLynnbeauty I realized that when reading it😥 I'm so sorry for your loss.... I've spent the past few days binging her content and soaking up her pure spirit and infectious love of life. 💔
I know I shouldn't be surprised by anything on the internet anymore, but I'm still always shocked when I see people posting rude comments/questions. I think you really handled these amazingly; I couldn't see myself being as classy or as patient as you!
Wow I'm really impressed that you work a full time job and put up so much content on youtube at the same time! That's hard! You go girl!
❤️💔💔
OMG some of those questions made my blood boil.
Mel you were so much more than a pretty face. You're warm, caring, genuine, talented, articulate and above all else you're loved by so many people ❤️💔💔
People can be very clueless about the realities of living with chronic illness, chronic pain & ongoing physical challenges/injuries but because everyone has experienced acute pain & have been sick at one time or another THEY THINK they know. You can't even compare two people with chronic pain or two people who have the same chronic disease/diagnosis because illness/pain/injuries manifest themselves differently in different people.I've found that the people who like to question how others are handling their pain/illness in a way that suggests that they think you are somehow doing it wrong, like the commenter did, are usually very ungrateful people who take their health (& other things) for granted. You are clearly doing exceptionally well coping & functioning despite your knee/health issues & I imagine you could teach us all a thing or two about resilience, persistence & "being positive" in the face of significant challenges. I think you should be proud of yourself & hope your see that your strength & resilience are among those "other things" besides your beauty that you can draw your sense of self & your self-esteem from. I love your channel.❤️
That last question really struck me. You were so open and honest about how you're aware that you're gorgeous and because that's what people initially see you as, that it becomes harder for your other traits to be acknowledged. Thank you for being so transparent about that and even from someone who just loves watching your videos, I can see so many other beautiful qualities that you possess. I really hope you continue to grow and notice them as well aside from your all around beauty because you are worth so much!! Love you Mel!
You’re so kind ❤️❤️❤️ thank you
You're so much more than a pretty face.. You're a faithful and devoted wife and friend! You're a patient mother (from what I witnessed on a video or two). You're funny and down to earth. You're a risk taker but you stay true to your values. You've suffered and that too has formed your character. Did I mention your loyalty to those you live, lol? It's all so obvious. Beauty and artistry are just small manifestations of who you really are. As you age, and you will, all that will refine, grow and mature. What's to fear? God love you!! Long time sub here, oxxx Sis
Those you LOVE... Darn texts... Oxx
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sissy Zeno so well said ❤️❤️
The whole reason why I love you is that I find you so unique!! a small part of your uniqueness is your hair and tattoos, and a big part is the way you are, how you talk, and your personality!
You handled these questions with such style and respect!!!! I think you are absolutely stunning and i am super jealous that I cant rock that short hair!!! 😘
Wow, you handled these questions with such poise and grace. Questions you didn’t have to answer, no less. I haven’t even been watching your channel for very long (a few months, I think?) but in that time it has been apparent to me how hard you work and the incredible level of skill you have.
I actually prefer that you are older than the other influencers, it's showing the products on a person similar to myself. So keeping doing what you do 😀
I have been a professional artist for years. I never miss your videos. You are beautiful, honest and a fabulous artist. Haters and jealous people always want to pull happy people down. Roll on girl! You are special.
You seem like a very positive person to me. I love your channel.
Thank you for sharing & being open, I am 44yrs young & I for one am thankful that there are more mature women I can follow for tutorials & advice. My make up skills have significantly improved since watching you! Yes you are very beautiful, & I think a great & positive person, but more than that you are an artist, your make up, your tattoos, even your hair! I am glad that I stumbled across this channel ❤️
And ... your Chanel is so professional and different and thorough.
I’m a 55 year old woman with MS and multiple other systemic illnesses, and I adore you! I had absolutely no idea that you had any knee or mobility problems... I just imagined myself one of your older fans who considers you an absolute beauty with limitless talent.
None of these questions ever crossed my mind. I adore, admire, and appreciate all the great information and ideas you share.
Very serious video, would love a part #2. I'm so shocked ppl will actually ask this personal things...
Mel you are so beautiful inside and out. Don't let messages make you think otherwise....
Xoxo
I’m blown away at some of these questions people have the audacity to ask. Just, wow! I think you are a very positive person. And never did I question your gender/sexuality. Thank you for your honesty!
I really love your videos because you are so very genuine. There are so many people without manners (southern belle here) that are rude and nosy. I'm sorry there have been so many people that have questioned you. I think you are beautiful, and I really value your opinion. I wish blessings for you and your family.❤️
Brave woman. Giving you a big hug for responding to sometimes horrible questions:) It is not only your look or how great make up artist you are. You are also sensible and reasonable in your reviews, honest and most of all very articulate. Definitely you have that "something" that makes you a fanastic video presenter.
Soooo strange that someone would say be more positive - your positivity is one of the things that draws me to your channel. As a matter of fact when you say you have to have another surgery I'm like damn look at how positive this girl is, I have to be more like that! It's unfortunate that this was said & that it stuck out in your mind - I doubt it's anything anyone else thinks
Thank you ❤️ seriously, it means a lot
jennyf308 same here!! I am always thinking this girl is bloody positive!!!
Your channel is one of my favorites not only are you creative but you always review what I'm interested in. I cant believe the questions people have asked you there is clearly no thought or filter these days. Also as a woman who's had short hair for years its incredibly frustrating when people question your sexuality. I think you rock your haircut well and I look forward to more Q/A's.
This is the first time I watch video like this and I am shocked of the question people asked. I do not anderstand why anyone think that you owe him answers. I think that we live in a time that people are confused about boundaries and d'ont recpect them. I wish you well! You are beautyful inside and out! You are a beautyful human being!
I have so much respect and admiration for you to have done this video and can relate with many of the subjects you’ve touched on. I’m 40 years young and have a rare chronic illness, Gastroparesis, which is basically paralysis of the stomach. My case is very severe and I’ve actually been on a 24hr feeding tube for the past (almost) 4 years, as I cannot tolerate food by mouth anymore. At my worse I was 64 lbs in the ICU. I was up to about 87 at one point but due to complications and am probably around 70 right now. So yes, I totally understand your insecurities, frustrations, all of that. In high school whenever I would say my stomach was bothering me so many people would say, “you’re such a hypochondriac”. People are always making comments about my weight. Telling me, “you need to get some weight on you”. Really? Do ya think? Can you imagine I I went up to an overweight person and said, “you really should try and lose some weight for your health”? I’m also self conscious about my tubes. Lol, they’re just not that sexy. I’m fairly new to the whole world of beauty/makeup on UA-cam and actually started watching them to try and find ways to make my face look fuller. And sorry, but it’s difficult to be positive all of the time in general. Especially when you’re in pain, anxious, etc. Like you, I try to laugh about as much as I can. Or yea, I’ll sob😭. When you were talking about aging it made me think of a shirt I got from a thrift shop. I was probably around 21 at the time. It said, “I know I’m beautiful. Tell me I’m efficient”. I never really understood that until I got older. And I have to bring up your hair. Girrrl, it’s F’ing fabulous. I’ve had some super short hairstyles and have actually wanted to go as short as yours, but never had the balls to do it. You have an incredibly gorgeous face and I love that your hair showcases that work of art.
But this video shows how much unbelievable class you possess. Thanks so, so much for sharing yourself with the world.
Sending tons of love your way😚✨✨❤️.
Wow, I didn’t realize how long the comment was. Sorry for the short novel;)) And I would love to see a part 2 to this. As well as a part 3, 4, 5...
Thank you so much for sharing!! You didn't have to put yourself out there and answer those questions and I appreciate it. I love your channel and appreciate all your hard work. Thanks again Mel!
Speaking of the other, “younger” influencers...Mel, I think you are WAY out of their league. You create the most beautiful, professional looks. I always come to you for your honesty and tutorials. Yesterday I was binging all Pat McGrath tutorials because I just got 3 palettes. You’re just the best!
Btw AMEN to your words on Jefree Starr.
I have no use for nonsense, especially the mean spirited type. He is not the victim. He is the aggressor.
Boy, she looks beautiful in this video. Superb make-up. You don't have to worry about aging now beautiful. You will always be young and always be beautiful. RIP sweet girl.
You have a bright enthusiastic personality and genuine appreciation of makeup. Watching your channel is a pickup for me .I hope you don't have to have anymore surgeries! Great job answering nosey weird questions! FYI 32 is a very young
Girl, I already loved you for being a classy country girl. I love you even more for everything you said!! 😘 You handled that like a champ. Don’t let the YT negativity suck you in or dominate your thoughts. They are relentless and will only want more. Focus on the love and support you receive from tens of thousands of people! Love you bunches!!💕
Wow, such a fantastic video! This is why you are so loved by so many. Well done!🙌
Hi Mel, I'm 2hrs east of Nashville, born/raised. How great is it to live in such a beautiful area with the lakes and the mountains, and yes, even our little townships.
I just love you and your videos. You always make me smile and positive is an attribute I would say you embody. I’m in agreement on JS and KVD opinions. It’s frustrating to know we are surrounded by so many people who are rude and judgmental and can hide behind a screen. You are wonderful!
Omg Mel!!! I cannot believe how many people are just rude and lack common sense for social interaction. If you wouldn’t ask or say this to a person in real life face to face, why is it okay to be a part of the keyboard mafia? With that being said, you’re amazing! Beyond beauty, I trust your honesty and your artistry. And as a fellow mama working full time with family and hubs, I admire your dedication to your channel and the growth of your channel. I don’t have time to shower uninterrupted so I know your struggle. Keep staying beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️
Mel some people are just too rude and bold and it’s none of their business. I think you are very talented and I love your channel. Thanks so much for all the tutorials!
I find it incredible that there are so many rude, judgmental, intrusive people that assume that not only are these sort of questions acceptable to ask, but also assume you are obliged to answer and justify them! I really like your videos for your professional content, your fantastic skills and happy demeanour and I’ve learned a lot from you on how to improve my skills. This 50 year old thinks you are fab!
You’re AWESOME!!!! Seriously, Mel, screw these people who ask you stupid questions. I think YT, FB and IG allow people to hide behind the curtain. Thank you for answering these questions you were asked once upon a time ago but seriously don’t ever feel like you need to! Love your channel and reviews on all things make up!!!
Your intelligence, groundedness, principles, humility and maturity you showcased in this video is phenomenal. I adore you!
Ok have to also say I LOVE your hair and you seem super positive to me. I am truly shocked but your questions!! Love you mel!!
It's the first time I watch your videos and I cant stop doing it. Love your almonds shape eyes, Listen Mel, I don't know why you don't have millions of followers, your channel is professional, clean, organized, honest, you are so full of integrity. Each hair style you have on is just for you, on you they look perfect. TALENTED ONE!!!!
You are going to be a beautiful, gorgeous “old” lady.....you are a breath of fresh air, you make me smile and you just rock.
Finally!! A beauty guru that's my age. That's why I find you to be so attractive (personality wise....obviously you are beautiful too) . You aren't obnoxious, you're straight to the point, honest & we have similar tastes & wants in products. I also love the fact that you're a mom
You are fabulous! Good for you tackling those questions that should never have been asked! Love your channel! Btw, this makeup look is gorgeous!
How refreshing to see someone be so candid. I feel as if I know you so much better after watching this.
Thanks for answering these questions Mel...to be honest I was curious about the a lot of the questions myself...thanks for keeping it real :) love your channel..always look forward to your reviews
You are such a real and genuine person, people who make hurtful comments take out their frustrations on others especially people they don’t know personally. Keep being the lovely person you are ❤️
You said you are worried about aging because people have have focused more on your beauty than the other great things about you. I have to tell you that I love watching you because you are smart, talented, strong and real. I’m and older viewer so I appreciate the no drama just professional content you put out. Yes you are beautiful but your other attributes are why I keep watching. Don’t worry because you are going to stay gorgeous as well as show others what you got. 💪❤️
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well said!! I'm older as well and absolutely adore Mel.... 😊
I love your honesty, enthusiasm, art and beauty. You are such a classy lady. I can’t believe you even addressed this stuff. I have to find humor in people saying you’re not positive. You’re one of the most uplifting and talented people I’ve watched.
Thank you :)
I LOVE you EXACTLY as you are !!!
Those persons who feel that they can criticize and critique you as a person and lifestyle....shame on them !!!
Yes, you may be on a public forum but that does NOT give them a right to be rude and intrusive.
You keep being you - because for the majority of us follow you because your funny, engaging, informative and beautiful inside and out !!!
Well said.
I agree some of these questions were rude and just plain uncalled for but the way you handled them and your answers show your character. You do some awesome makeup looks and your just an cool person all around. I’m glad I found your channel a few months back
You don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. The ones who can relate to you will stay. You do you. I think you ate amazing. 🤗
Mel I just want to say that you have a beautiful soul and we all support and love your personality, artistry, silly sense of humor, laugh, smile, heart, everything! I always feel insecure but your videos have helped me get through sad and negative times. Thanks for always being there and even though I don’t have the honor to see/meet you in person, I still feel like you’re such a close friend. You are honest with all you do and say and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, much love from South Texas! Xoxoxo
You completely melt my heart.💓
You're such a gem.🤗
Why are people so rude?? You are a beautiful, capable, creative, and kind person. I love your short hair! I get comments/questions like that all the time too and I wanna scream because I love my short hair. You are unique and handled these questions wonderfully.
1. you are the most positive person i have ever seen on youtube 2.you are amazing and i love watching your videos
Love how you answered these questions, you put the little "trolls" in their place & politely answered the questions at the same time...I love it & you. It would be great if you did this like every 3 -6 months or so make it into a little series, that''ll be cool.
I think you are so sweet and honest. I have never bought anything Jeffrey Star. My choice. You are beautiful inside and out!!!
While I wouldn't ever ask such questions, I appreciated you being courageous enough to answer them. Your answer to the aging question got me a bit because I hate to see someone with so many good qualities doubt themself. So as you age remember that even those of us who don't really "know you" see how funny, kind, hardworking, genuine, and artistic you are. Keep it up girl!
I agree with you on Jeffery. He is not the type of person I want or can support. I’ve heard great things about the quality of his products, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll use my dollars elsewhere.
Finreah - Amen! I’ve even unsubscribed from UA-camrs who have collaborated on videos with him. I will not support him directly or indirectly.
Mel you are truly gorgeous inside and out. I'm now 43 and you inspire me so much. I have health issues and have given up pills that masked some of the pain but didn't allow me to function properly for my family so I gave them up and put up with the pain, I'm scared of more surgery as things always go wrong on me 😩 keep being who you are and be true to yourself and thank you for inspiring me 💕
Omg... I get a bit annoyed by the questions you got. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut! I think you handle yourself really well and know that we love you :)
I love you back!!!
I love every answer!!!! I watch your videos as soon as they come out and appreciate your talent so much. I'm 58 and still care very much about my skin care, makeup, hair and health. I'm always learning something new from you and I Thank You.. sending smiles, Lisa Napper
Wow, people need other stuff to worry about with these questions. I’ve been watching you for about a year and I love your channel! I think you’re beautiful, love your content, really enjoy your personality and have learned a lot from you. I appreciate the hard work you put into your channel, thank you! Ignore theses rude people, you’re fabulous!
I guess being older it never would occur to me to ask some of these question! Some people have no boundaries 🤯. I love your short hair, not many can carry that cut but you do beautifully. Your uniqueness and honestly is what makes me come back.
Lol, right!
Thank you!! ❤️❤️
I think you are amazing and brave to answer these questions. I’ve followed you for a while and I think you are beautifully badass!!😀
Thank you 😻😘💋
I’m so surprised by some of those questions. I understand that you put yourself out there for us but why some people think they deserve more information about your personal life is beyond me! I’m grateful to you for not just letting those questions get to you and giving up on UA-cam completely because you are an amazing artist and such a positive, energetic person to watch. I love your reviews and everything else on your channel. I hope people learn to respect you more
I love your short hair, it looks so fierce!
Kind of mind blowing at the things people ask, like why?!?!?
You're very inspiring.. you're beautiful inside and out no matter what you look like.. I've loved watching your channel since I found you, you're very real and honest and I love that of course ❤️
I always find you upbeat and happy. Also, take it from a 53 year old, you just do the best you can with your skin. Be it your diet and the products you use. Remember, your subscribers will be getting older as well and will look to your expertise on how to make their make up work. Love your channel.
I think you’re great and positive and I think you should have waaaaayyyy more subbies! I’ll watch u forever Mel! You’ve been my new Jaclyn for the past few months.
This was a great video! There are so many disrespectful people hiding behind the anonymity of their screens. I have stage 4 breast cancer and keep getting emails from people saying everything from me needing to use more ginger in my diet, that I should go vegan, that they can heal me over the phone and to the fact that the Lord will help me if I pray more. I hate reading stuff like that. I somehow feel they're intruding on my life..
I must say that you really ARE a beautiful woman but that was not what drew me to your channel. It was your knowledge, your fabulous tutorials and, most of all, your personality. Personality is key to making it big and you got it in heapes :)
And you're quite convincing, too. After watching your channel I've gone from Maybelline to Linda Hallberg, Hourglass, Esteé Lauder, Becca ++ and I look better than I've looked since I was 20 (now 42).
Thank you so much for all you've taught me and the joy I feel when watching you videos :) Kind regards, Gunnhild
I’m not going to give you any unsolicited advice but what I will say is that I am so sorry for what you are going through. Nobody knows what it’s like unless they have been there. In my opinion, people that are hurting need an ear to listen... not advice on how to get better. You are in my thoughts .
I appreciate your support more than you know ❤️❤️❤️
Puffins Wife A humble thank you. I feel honoured to be in your thoughts ❤️
Thinking of you. I suppose those comments are trying to help...............
Sam Lislil Thank you ❤️ Yes, I know they wish me well, but they're people I don't know and they keep mailing. Maybe I'm just too sensitive about it 😊
I’m older, but have knee problems and trouble with long distances too. Thanks for talking a bit about the depression that goes along with it... when you good, feel good but have a problem it is hard
I am a regular viewer, always thumbs up your videos but have rarely commented. I did not realize people were saying such mean and rude things to. you. :(. I watch your channel because you are very good at teaching and explaining everything from what you like about certain products and how to use them. You are an artist! When you have had your surgeries I truly felt sad for you and said prayers quick recovery. Though you didn't need to, thank you for sharing. xo, Cowgirl Deb
Great responses. Never ceases to amaze me what people say or ask...sometimes is so inappropriate that it is hard not to be offended. You handled it well.
On the subject of aging...I just turned 55. I was always called the smart one but I prided myself on looking good and have been a makeup fiend since I was allowed to start using it. I was told I was pretty but I did not internalize that as my strength. It is great that you are embracing all the other great things about you that will be there no matter how you change physically. You are a fantastic accomplished artist and from we hear a wonderful genuine person.
Thank you
Aww I’m fairly new to your channel, I knew basically nothing about you but subbed because your reviews are spot on and your relaxing to watch do makeup. You already felt relatable and now I think you’re a sweetheart and I’m sorry you get such strange and invasive questions. Please don’t feel the need to answer such questions that make you feel uncomfortable or invaded. If any, I’d figure a makeup product or technique one are reasonable. Just because you make videos doesn’t mean you’re required to have your privacy violated or such. 💙
It’s unbelievable that people think it’s okay to ask such personal, inappropriate questions!! You answered everything with such class!! And I love your hair!!
I completely understand your leg insecurity. I like you have had 15 orthopedic surgeries and basically my entire lower right leg is nerve damage. I have horrible scars, I’ve had my leg lengthen 4 1/2 inches and had 20 pens screw through my bone. And every single one of those holes is basically a hole indent on my leg. When I was younger I cared a lot more and never wore shorts. But now that i’m older I just don’t care as much. I think the thing that bothers me the most is when people stare and don’t ask. It’s one thing to ask so I can explain to you what happened, but when you just stare at me like I’m a freak then I get very uncomfortable
Seriously you’re my favorite new beauty UA-camr, I’m binging on your content since I discovered your channel! I just wanted to say as a 33 year old with a similar aesthetic you’re a breath of fresh air!
I love your hair!!!!! Period!!!!!
I always look forward to your videos and trust your advice on makeup and skincare brands. Thank you so much for the awesome content!
Good for you for not supporting Jeffree Star. Your thoughts mirror my own. He is not a nice person. I’m not throwing my coin at that. Love your channel!
I'm a long-time fan and have literally never commented, but I just have to say - MAD RESPECT for you! I recently had elbow surgery, so the fact that you have gone through so many surgeries and gotten through like a bad-ass is inspiriational! Much love from another Mom in her thirties!
Thank you!!!
I hope you are healing well!!
