I'm half asian and since moving to the West Coast I go from white to burnt toast. Never thought that I would have to change my techniques since the Northeast isn't known for all year sun exposure so I definitely appreciate everything that you do for brown/people of color. PS you are so freaking beautiful...I can't wait to see the continued growth for you in social media. Very important for diversity instead of 20 shades of white *cough* *cough* Tarte
i have to agree with the fact that brown girls have to work harder to make their makeup look on point. beauty companies need to make more products that are more inclusive so that everyone can enjoy them. i’m quite light skinned so i don’t have the same problems but both my bestfriends are both beautiful dark skinned indian gurlies…def gonna share this video with them ❤️
Genuinely thank you so much. I’m middle eastern, so fair skin but lots of hyperpigmentation 😭 your videos have helped so much! Teaching color theory and not using a beauty filter when you film!!! Your content is amazing! ❤❤❤
south asian but same i have fair skin but so much hyperpigmentation and the undertones of makeup brand are so weird on me some times. her content is sooo helpful
Even Middle Eastern are brown people, hence the pigmentation. You don’t hear blacks say otherwise even if they have fair skin. European white mainly don’t have hyperpigmentation unless it’s a skin condition. Many might not even consider you fair. So your skin and an Asian persons skin isn’t any different. I’m black and I’m here cos the ladies skin tone is closer to mine but I don’t call myself a brown girl, but just black 😅
thank you for continuing to share your raw, unfiltered skin & advice on camera. seeing acne like mine on a popular youtuber makes me feel emotional and seen!
I learned so much from you and as a brown girl I did struggle a lot doing my makeup but now that I finally figured out what to use and what not my makeup has been flawless ever since. Thank you so much for inspiring me too I've started my own journey recently and I want to help others too who are in need of it. I admire you a lot!!
Giiiiirl I'm so proud of how far you've come 🥰 I'm not even a brown girl but I love your content so much. Your personality, beauty and creativity is 10/10, and I think it's amazing that you're representing and educating brown audiences about what actually works for them. Also, thanks for the concealer tip. I'm pale af but I have a neutral undertone and for some reason most concealers in my country are extremely yellow and make me look like sh*t. I'm going to try the pink powder thing.
Thank you for making brown girl friendly makeup vids!! I remember years ago a friend and I joked about making videos comparing makeup products and colors on each other since they look so different! I'm glad you are sharing so many helpful tips. The amount of times I've been let down because of viral products that aren't brown girl friendly
So excited for your longform content bestie!!! You’re such a natural speaking on camera, your intellect is shining through!! Color theory queens forever 💜 Love you!!
I genuinely never knew that I should pick a corrector shade that closely matches my skin tone. All this time I’ve been trying to cover up a dark orange corrector and getting all cakey. This video is gold!
Monicaa! I’m so happy and proud that you’ve started long-form content! As a brown girl, I always have to check your reviews before buying any new makeup products. Thanks for the tips, love your videos! 💕 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I love watching your reels, and I feel like I'm getting better at technique, so thank you for You, your story, and your creativity. I religiously save a product I like and even get the drugstore ones, which are brown girl friendly! I'm also a CS major and still clueless about my path but seeing your journey surely does inspire me to know I'll be okay! Thank you for valuable content! YOU ARE GORGEOUS. ❤
Omg this is a life saver. Love how packed it is with info but still easy to follow through. AND you adding closed captions adds so much, bless you queen Please do more long form video!
I’ve always loved you short form content but now adore the longer one as well! It’s just nice seeing you go into much more detail on a specific topic with the time you don’t always have with shorter content
as a brown girlie who loves makeup THANK YOU for this! we need representation and education for our unique skin tone. looking forward to more of your videos!! ☺️🥳
thank u for all your vids monica ❤ i wish i had you to watch when i was growing up but i’m so glad i can watch you now! brown skin can feel so complicated sometimes but you’ve helped my confidence so much
Yessss!!! I've been patiently waiting for these long form videos! Thanks for creating content for us brown girlies. I've learned so much about color theory and how it translates to brown skin, it has elevated my makeup skills and made me more adventurous with my makeup. Love you bestie 💜💜💜
Omgggg so excited for a long form video. I’m planning on doing my own makeup for my wedding next year and your product suggestions have been soooo helpful. Thank you from a fellow brown girl!
Monica, I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. Representation is so important and it's so lovely to see a beautiful south indian girlie sharing her expertise. Keep doing what you're doing, we love you!!!
That blue corrector is such a good tip! I tend to become more neutral toned in certain parts of the year, so something like that on hand would have made such a difference!
I just wanted to say that you are amazing, and I really do love watching your videos, especially how you like to find makeup tutorials and products that can help and appear on brown skin because a lot makeup don’t appear on brown skin it doesn’t appear at all or looks ashy especially when you talk about main stream make up that says that they include products that work for brown skin, which usually don’t . it’s good to find alternatives that can help enhance the beauty of brown skin and create beautiful looks. I have definitely learn a lot from watching your videos. They are a joy to watch. Looking forward to more wishing you lots of happiness and joy and prosperity and love. Have a great week.❤🫶❤️
Hi!! Love what u do so much! We need more poc in the makeup world! It is so important to learn what works for you, but you’re showing people that there is makeup available for them!
I really love your videos, you gave me the inspiration to try to do makeup again. Trying to figure out my correct shades has been very stressful 😂 but whenever i feel overwhelmed I come back abd watch these and to renind myself I will eventually master this. Sending much love from one brown girl to another ❤️❤️❤️
I adore your short form content and I have been WISHING thank you did long form content so I am so HYPED. I hope you have all the fun in the world doing long form because I selfishly want as many long videos as you are willing to give!!!
@makeupbymonicaa Can’t believe this is your first long-form video. With your smooth style and significant followership I assumed you’d been making these way longer. Even though I’ll probably never pursue content creation, you do give me some hope. And I love your tips! I’m pretty good at figuring out lip shades that work well for me, but face makeup has always been a little trickier because I’m on the border of neutral/olive/warm. When I saw you were talking about color theory, I thought you’d go about it a different (equally good) way, but this was so helpful! Love your pointers on setting powder, lip shades, blush… and the blue pigment! What?!!! I’ve got to look for that now.
I had the same problem with makeup and having brown skin and a greenish warm undertone. I am usually having to mix foundations, but that blue color mixer is awesome and works great. These tips are extremely helpful thank you. Now if i can only find a longwear shade that matches my skin and covers dark spots on cheeks.
So as a fellow Brown girl. I found that there's a couple of Mac foundations that if you blend them together like right in between the two shades is a perfect match for us. I'm hurting and I have had a hell of a time trying to find makeup for like my golden Olive complexion. Love your videos you seem like an absolute sweetheart!
I want more of these my god❤😭😭😭these make me feel like even I can do makeup flawlessly like you and I feel so represented and seen with your brown girl friendly tips.☹️☹️☹️🤍🤍🤍love u bestfriend
omgg def do more videos like this! i have a really short attention span when it comes to anything that isn’t work and this literally made my eyes stick to the screen. thank you for the advice i love doing makeup! -brown girl makeup beginner
I wish you were around 39 years ago! I've learnt so much from you.. Since my youth I could never find the right shade or type of foundation and concealer so I've never worn either my entire life. I'm totally clueless when it comes to picking the right shade.. even when I go to a make counter for assistance they always use shades that are far to dark for me or bring out my pigmentation making it look grey. And I can never find the right shade of 'nude' lipstick as they just don't look any good one me so I always end up going for bold shades! Please keep doing what you do, I've picked up so many tips from you! Thank you ❤🇬🇧❤
Please review the elf lip stains-dying to see how they look on brown skin!! Love your vids Monica thanks so much for giving amazing makeup tips for fellow brown girls
As a hobby artist I am so glad color theories and such are catching on! I personally think the color spectrum and language within the makeup industry is so outdated and narrow! Warm and cool undertones are too limiting, when neutrals and olives also exist. At this point I echo the sentiment on having fine artists becoming in charge of a makeup brand so we can have a plethora of shades more!
Oh yay! 🎉 I am not a brown girl and I am also old lol 😂. I love your videos! I love watching the science behind the make-up. I just love seeing you succeed! Get um girl! ❤
I love your contents so much! I am not really a makeup girly but there are times when i do need to wear some and i've tried following some of your tips and it has helped so much. Thank you so much for this video, you are amazing!
I just wanted to thank you for having captions on your video without it having to be a button to press. I don't have hearing issues and the only people I know with them are older, but as someone who is interested in the inclusion of the deaf/HoH community in the field of music, it's so refreshing to see a creator be inclusive in that way from the FIRST video! Well done.
Love your content and very excited about your first long-form video!! My skin is so odd because i have deep skin with pinky undertones. Not red, not neutral, but pink lol. there's like 3 foundations that match lol
IM SO PROUD OF YOU 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
As a brown girl, your content has helped me more than anything else when it comes to makeup! Congrats 😘

You could also be a brown girl if you are asian, unless you are white European etc
@@Zazezoo l mean l am west asian but have very pale skin so not sure if it will be appropriate to call myself that lol
I’m a ivory girl who has been loving your very informative short form content. I’m so excited for longer form content. Keep slaying, Queen!
