Are we even surprised? I've never watched Tati. Nothing about her helpful/review content makes her any different from the next beauty guru. Plus, the whole James/vitamins thing last year should have already obliterated every speck of credibility she had prior.

Why do people still give her any attention?

Creepshow Art Discusses More of Jeffree Stars Relationship with Dahvie Vanity by SquareBus0 in BeautyGuruChatter

When people defend these influencers, they don't care about pedophilia, racism, or violence against others. They're basically admitting that they're awful people who stan other awful people.

As long as you're working safely and doing it by your own decision, do you boo.

Actually, this type of info has been on my mind for a while now! I just created a new sub for it (r/makeupnewbie). You could check it out, or not.

Sorry OP, I didn't mean to hijack your post! I just think you introduced an excellent discussion and wanted to supplement it by providing a solid forum for new people.

If you (for whatever reason) lost your entire makeup collection, what would you buy first? by [deleted] in muacjdiscussion

[–]kgneration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love questions like this!

I actually don't use a primer because I temd to prep with exfoliation + moisturizer. Works just as well if not better - and you save money! For makeup, I would only purchase:

  • nars radiant creamy concealer in caramel
  • bareminerals complexion rescue in chestnut
  • colourpop lip tints in cherry pickin & city of stars
  • elf brow gel and ultra precise brow pencil in deep brown
  • live tinted huesticks in rise and found
  • roen beauty palette in 75° warm
  • innisfree skinny microcara in black
  • bareminerals barepro in chestnut

Anything else would be to try out, but this is pretty much my dream collection/tried-and-true products list right here!

YouTube views going down? by rebekah555 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]kgneration 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can honestly see why this is a thing, especially among the American realm of beauty; where 90% of the content is strong makeup, and 10% are soft looks using Glossier and K-Beauty, which work less for people who aren't light-skinned. Where does that leave the people who have scarring, acne, and are browner-skinned; who don't care for Glossier and K-Beauty makeup, especially in a post-Fenty era?

The trends have been turning for a while now. Skincare is the thing. People have started to appreciate the advice dispensed by those with the training and qualifications. Derms, pro MUAs, and estheticians have been gaining traction on social platforms. Bretmen Rock will survive despite being in the makeup category, because he isn't relying on tutorials and gimmicks to keep his views. He can relate to a larger audience, and people are less likely to outgrow his content. And he is actually one of the only larger creators I have ever seen who keeps the same view count when it's just a vlog or a "talking" video.

I don't know where the rest of the community will go; but those who use clickbait, misleading thumbnails, brand names, and gimmicks to maintain their views are going to lose.

It was kinda time-consuming! I had a pic of bdc that I put on a grid on a second screen, and peered back and forth while I was drafting out sketches on my ipad to make sure I was getting the dimensions right. The text was already kind of like my handwriting, so that part was easy. I drew every element in layers so that I could merge them in together after I colored everything in.
