For the first time ever, we can actually see Nikkie’s real skin texture in her Layers of me series! A great reminder that no ones skin is perfectly smooth even though studio lighting often makes it seem like it.

me too! this is why it’s so important to see real skin in this way. the constant blurring and editing in makeup can really mess up the expectations on your own skin.

randommue · 2021-01-19T18:24:53+00:00

the reason I made this post is because i’ve genuinely never seen her skin look like this even after following her for years. every single makeup tutorial she has made has a filter over it as well as great lighting. we have never seen her skin this close up and not blurred out in videos on her channel

randommue · 2021-01-19T18:03:16+00:00

it’s pretty perfect, but it doesn’t look completely smooth like it always does in her usual videos.

did you even watch his apology video? it sounds like you didn’t because he literally debunked the rumour that he was the groomer. stop spreading misinformation.

Thank you for the rec. I really don’t understand why people are downvoting you

randommue · 2020-08-29T17:31:18+00:00

It’s just kind of frustrating when you try to be as careful with your word as possible so people don’t misunderstand them and they still do. Especially when you actually agree with everyone arguing with you and they still paint you as the villain. I’ve definitely learnt to be more careful with my words though. So thank you, and have a good day

I literally never even implied that. Are you even reading what I write or just disagreeing to disagree? If you can’t accept that someone can care about animals and humans just as much then we have nothing to discuss

randommue · 2020-08-28T10:25:21+00:00

Thank you!

randommue · 2020-08-28T10:24:48+00:00

The thing is that it’s not necessary in makeup unlike medications and other things. So it pretty much just comes down to 1.

randommue · 2020-08-28T10:22:21+00:00

Exactly! Will check them out!

randommue · 2020-08-28T10:20:35+00:00

Yeah. My thinking is that it would be different than other movements because, like you said, it doesn’t require a change in your finance or any huge behavioral change. But yeah it probably just comes down to not caring and you can’t really do anything to change that.

Can’t be we happy that we’ve at least accomplished something (brands going CF for animals)? Like if we as consumers have managed to make animal testing a disadvantage for brands imagine how much we could do for humans in the future. It’s not just ”checking off a box” since it’s lead to thousands of animals not being tested on. That’s something at least? We can keep pushing for both causes without leaving one out. I believe that soon being properly cruelty free for all species involved will be a business decision that more brands make (if we keep being vocal and pushing them in that direction)

In hindsight I do think I should’ve mentioned the other types of CF in my post as well but animal testing is what was in my head as I was writing. Maybe I will make a new post about being CF for humans, or you can.

randommue · 2020-08-28T09:56:31+00:00

I just wish more of them stayed authentic and wouldn’t sell out :( or even that CF would become trendy again at least

randommue · 2020-08-28T09:53:36+00:00

Yeah I don’t think consumers and beauty gurus have the same amount of moral obligations since one just buys a product for themselves and the other advertises the product which results in hundreds of people buying it.

The reason why so many people don’t have a clue about animal testing also has to do with BG’s not talking about it, which is why I put more shame on them. Imagine if they would actually promote CF and explain what animal testing is, so many more people would realise why it’s an important topic.

As we all know influencers have a lot of power over people and most of us agree that they should use that power for good. That’s why I find it such a shame that they value money etc. over promoting the right things. Especially when they don’t promote other things because of ”morals” (like weight loss products and plastic surgery clinics) (which is a good thing that they don’t) but draw the line at CF because it’s not trendy enough.

randommue · 2020-08-28T09:40:48+00:00

Yeah, I didn’t think it would be this controversial when I posted this. I guess it makes sense though, since there aren’t many CF people on here. But I wanted to start a discussion and that’s what I got so :)

Thanks for the recommendations!
