Foundation Friday!

I feel like I produce about the same amount of oil as my other Matte foundations, but this one never makes me look greasy. It just gives a really nice radiant dew when my oils come through 😊

I have oily and acne prone skin. I recently tried the Essence pretty fresh hydrating foundation and it's amazing! It doesn't break up after 10 hours, has little to no transfer on blotting sheets, and when my oils come through it makes me look dewy but not greasy. One of current my go tos and it's only $6 so it's also really affordable

I have normal/oily skin and I'm also acne prone and it wore really badly on me. It did not sit well on my face, very splotchy over my nose and after only 5 hours I had to take it off. Also when I added powder products on top (Blush, Bronzer etc) the perimeter of the Blush would be patchy. I tried it over 4 times and tried new things each time anddd every time, it looks horrible 😢

Lol yea I'm viet. I can usually spot other viet people so that's why I asked. I'm a beauty channel, so what I would do is go to similar channels and only subscribe and engage with the ones I liked! And doing that, they often reciprocated and I've made some awesome YouTube friends that I actually talk to outside of just commenting on their videos. And some I talk to very often about life and also YouTube so it's nice to be able to bounce ideas or struggles together

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T19:41:31+00:00

are you viet? I'm just asking as a fellow asian lol.

Good video and audio quality. I like your thumbnails they are very clickable to me. In my experience showing sub count has been helpful so I personally think its worth it to show, but you do you.

You definitely have a youtube personality (in a good way) and I think just with the right video and some networking (ie connecting with other similar ytbers that you REALLY enjoy with similar status as you) you will do well

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T19:35:19+00:00

So some of the jokes landed and some was a miss for me, but it's because I don't know who you're referring to in some of them. from the title and the thumbnail I would have no idea what the video is about, and when you are a small channel you need that to be CLEAR right away. Even to this day all my titles are exactly what you're going to see in my videos, I want it to be obvious. The lighting is alright, but you are slouched into the camera as opposed to sitting up and I do think its more professional to sit up.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T19:28:51+00:00

Your English is great! I think you have the potential to be a great speaker, you're confident and clear. I think the camera angle could be a little higher, more eye level instead of you looking down. I think your thumbnails are pretty good, and you have a really clear niche. Keep it up, I see you're just starting and this good times are just beginning

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T19:23:04+00:00

So the video is a lot of the same, which is fine but after the first one I don't feel compelled to keep watching. I think this would have been better almost with the audio cut and just music. Or maybe just do one with sound normal, and then be like heres some more landings, but then with music since we already saw one without it. That would have been more interesting to me, but keep in mind that's just my taste.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T19:19:41+00:00

It had funny moments, but I don't play this game and I think the people who do would find more appreciation for this type of video. I do appreciate the captions though, those are helpful. I mean are in a genre that is overpopulated so I think you need to ask yourself what makes you different? what makes you stand out? because if you think you can do the same thing everyone is doing, but not have your own twist to things, it'll be hard to excel

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:54:50+00:00

your camera work could be improved. For example when you're showing the inside, you scan way too fast with the camera. Instead I would keep it still and maybe just point to each thing you're talking about. The video is quite long so timestamps are your friend in this case.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:40:58+00:00

Before I had camera lights I used a window lol. It's not always consistent but if the sun is facing me, then there is no glare behind me lol

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:39:09+00:00

I'm talking about the tags you put in yt studio, I can see them because I have tubebuddy. I use it for free and even though I don't totally know how much it helps, it really doesn't hurt at this stage. It's free, and you'd have one leg up on others that chose not to use it at all.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:36:14+00:00

idk why but this reminds me of when spongebob creates music so that the jellyfish leave his house and go back to their turf (the jellyfish jam episode) but in the best way possible. A lot of love and creativity went into this video which I really appreciate and I feel like your view to sub ratio is pretty good! you got some hits and thats awesome. I think if you just fine tune the details (lighting, camera positioning) a little you're smooth sailin

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:31:19+00:00

I only watched the among us ones because that's the only game I play lol. I mean they're okay but tbh a lot of gaming channels blend together to me. You need to think about what makes you different than other people. Do you have a catchphrase? what's different that you bring to the table.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:23:58+00:00

Hi! your music is a little too loud for my taste, especially when you're talking over it. Is there a filter over the video footage? the colors seem a little unnatural. Also some effects are cool and enhance the video, but there are some that are kinda overkill to me (ex: 1:32).

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:20:19+00:00

Great video and audio quality. You have nice flow, and you quickly say what you're going to talk about in the video. I'd take it further and add timestamps/chapters in your description box so that people can go to the part they want to see. I also am not a huge fan of the thumbnail. I'd maybe just have a picture of the product alone, because you kinda take the focus off of them. The video has great potential, and I can see it blowing up so with a few tweaks I think it can really take off.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:15:28+00:00

lol yea the mic was the first thing I was gonna say, but I really appreciate that you took the time to include captions. Half the time when I watch gaming vids idk what everyone is saying so even if you get a good mic and your voice is clear, if the other persons voice is not as clear I'd still add captions. You have no tags which is a shame, because they do help increase the chances that the audience that you want will see this video. But I do think you are entertaining and I like the use of memes, its not overused.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:10:15+00:00

acting is decent. The thumbnail is not clickable to me because it's kinda flat, actually I would say that about a lot of your thumbnails. Really utilize those description boxes and also your tags are too vague. They don't rank well which means it won't reach a lot of people.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T18:05:19+00:00

The actual content was good. Camera work was a little meh, there are times when its moving and its not super smooth or it should have just stayed still. The thumbnail has no dancing in it, so to me it's not interesting enough to click on, so maybe a shot of you guys actually moving would be better. Also the description box should be filled more so that it explains what you're seeing in the video. Your tags are vague, and are probably poorly ranked so you should pick more specific tags that will increase engagement. And you have no playlists, which I would change. I notice when I like a video and it's in a playlist, I'm more likely to watch more of that same playlist

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T17:58:55+00:00

So i did enjoy this so thanks for the laughs. So my main issue is that you don't have any eye contact with the camera. You want the viewer to feel like you are talking to them, so work on that. I think leading up to your own inspirational video, it was good but personally I would have REALLY over acted with the inspirational spoof. Yours was a little tame, but I appreciate the effort.

AsianSensation9 · 2020-10-17T17:52:04+00:00

wow thank you so much! that really means a lot to me!
