BASEMATCHINGGGG and Rant | WCNOTMT Ep. 6 | Kiki G.

[@kanadra]

Always love your videos. I vote for keeping the title of this series "why come no one told me that" because I appreciate the humor of it. :)

[@shan3272-m2d]

I'm not a makeup artist but your videos are so helpful and educational. I've learned so much from watching you and reading your book!

[@maiasalf]

you're favorite beauty youtuber and I love the informative nature of your videos, but also I happen to work in a neuroscience research lab and have to say that the right/left brain theories are pretty pseudoscientific and VERY much water down the complexities behind sensory processing. that said, thanks for the always entertaining/funny/adorable/informative content!

[@RezPlease]

Favorite beauty guru ever. :)

[@isabelab6851]

Just came across this series...loving it. Your explanation of cool vs warm all of the sudden makes the MAC color descriptions fit

[@sassycat378]

Fascinating! Love your quirkiness and sense of humour. I an glad that I am not alone in feeling that the current way of colour matching is weird. Please keep this series going i am totally enthralled with your teaching style as it is easy to follow along

[@RRbobreed]

I love this series! Thank you for taking the time to explain color theory and foundation matching. I hope you'll do a few more on these topics, even if it's only to show us more examples. Thanks again!

[@RuebenRambles]

Sooo happy I met you and love this channel!!!!!!!!!!

[@EschewObfuscation]

FWIW, I'm on team "why come." Because funny.

[@gcr4674]

Thank you for posting as always! It's too bad some people can't pick up the humor in the title of the series, I've always loved it and even told my partner about it (which I never do) because it made me laugh when I first heard it.

[@MrsAbaraiRenji]

Your eyelook is poppin'! Thanks for doing this series; I'm always learning from you.

[@vashtiramsaroop5410]

LOVE this series!!! I miss your content - - I know, you're super busy, but I adore your content, and the information you share. Thank you for taking the time to tech color theory, and color mixing foundation colors. Super helpful!!

[@sheppajo]

Love your videos Katelyn. Thanks for making time to film, edit and upload during your busy schedule. Please do not change the title of the series WCNOTMT. It is perfectly funny much like yourself.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Only person I've ever seen go ahead and openly invite people to communicate a dislike if they want, and of course the video has zero dislikes. You're a great person and an ideal screen personality. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@mariamicallef8151]

could you do a video targeted to olive undertones and how they can be detected (and flattered!) on different depths of skintone? sincerely, a very confused olive

[@mariamicallef8151]

although the left brain v. right brain dichotomy you mention briefly is very much NOT a thing :

[@piperamp3331]

Yes! I agree! I don't know where to start with picking a more olive tone (everything looks too pink on me). Ive gotten away with mixing the nyx olive foundation mixer to a lighter yellow foundation, but tips from a professional would be awesome!

[@mariamicallef8151]

I use charlotte tilbury light wonder in shade 6 and armani luminous silk also in shade 6. very true warm-olive shades. but i have issues with concealer, lipstick, etc.

[@piperamp3331]

Maria Micallef Ive had my eye on that foundation....I may cave in and spend the money on it

[@Aevistin333]

I'm having the same issue with my very pale olive skin. I haven't been able to find anything that matches me.

[@Angie_suv]

Omg I was watching the first swatches and kept wondering what is up with my sound system.. then I realized! A toddler is sleeping! Ahah Also your relationship with your child is soooo cuteeeee

[@SharkyMiragical]

Wenus? I can't test on my weekly estimated net usage system :D

[@saudade5401]

Thanks for posting this! Finding the right foundation for me has been a decade long journey for me and the common-knowlege-beauty-tips never helped me understand what I was doing. So I really appreciate how you're breaking this down, I feel a little better about going to the makeup counters now. :)

[@Cherylebreaux]

Love your channel Kiki and please don't change the name of this series! I think your videos are so informative and quirky at the same time.

[@zednott688]

you look so beautiful with the copper eyeshadow 😍

[@queenpjj]

My favorite series!

[@rachaelkasper5445]

"Why come no one told me that" is the most very ever cool title for a series in my opinion. Your videos smile me. :)

[@sonjathesloth]

No horde of angry pandas for me!! LOVE your informative and STUPENDOUSLY HELPFUL videos! Many props to your "you be you" attitude.

[@coffeecoatedcurls]

Everytime I read your title I think of the movie Waiting To Exhale. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and personality with us.

[@KatStrega]

You're my favorite! Your videos are so engaging and informative. Thanks for being a beauty badass!

[@AmyJayOnTheWay]

This was SO interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing! Also your son has such a sweet voice. 💜

[@denisemarie6131]

it's a hard habit to break! But I was shopping with a friend today for new face powder, and we went with golden yellow versus pink. love how you love your son and he loves you

[@SamanthaVictoria661]

I was giving my dog a bath while listening/watching this.

[@mmartin7826]

PLEASE do a tutorial on your eye makeup! I have green eyes and those eyeshadows look perfect. You are beautiful, and this explanation was really helpful :D

[@Jewels_8404]

Loved this video!! First video I watched of yours and I had to subscribe right away and 👍 also notifications are on so I can follow this series. I have a hard time matching myself because I have light skin (not fair) and a olive/neutral undertone so I find I'm in between shades in the ranges offered with different brands.

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

I tried to concentrate on what you were saying but I constantly had to giggle because of Caspian's snoring!! :D It's just too cute. And I can't believe that a little snoring sound makes me giggle so much. I'm not usually a giggly person...And if I say (write) "giggle" one more time I'm going to explode

[@avismurphy5410]

Oh no! Those frightening pandas! "Why come..." I just assumed the phrasing was intentionally incorrect. And it's just funny...because people do actually talk like that. Lol! Thanks for the continuing education with a much appreciated sense of humor.

[@bexg9705]

'Why Come' all the way! 🤣 xxxx.

[@melodyn.8575]

I love your sense of humor and the way you educate in your videos!! Can you tell me what lip color you have on!! I love it!!!

[@jacquie94]

Love love love this series. It's fantastic. And helpful ... and... Please no change the name. 😉

[@porcupine_cake]

THANK YOU. I ALSO NEVER UNDERSTOOD THE WARM/COOL DISTINCTION. It's in the mental garbage can.

[@Edis_]

So useful! You're such a make up goddess! I have a problem finding right color tone with bbs and what not because I'm so pale and here it's so hard to sample in the stores or sometimes even return make up products back to store, sigh. Anyway, love you!

[@Kbaltrush]

I love WCONTMT

[@maddynavarro77]

So happy I liked the video bc I really don't want a hoard of pandas coming at me!🤣🤣 I learn so much by watching your videos! It's nice to have laughs as I'm actually learning something!😉👌👊👍 THANK YOU ❤♥️❤

[@michellecann5624]

Why come you don't have a million followers? You are actually providing useful info instead of another Fenty review... although tangentially this is useful to all those who have watched a Fenty review considering the excellent shade range... Anyway you are a top notch human.

[@amethystsamia]

You say "buuuuuulllllshit" just like a West Virginian. I'm so proud of you! and that baby can snore! Hahaha! Bless his heart!

[@Xandimaus89]

Love your eyeshadow!! Please let me know which one you're wearing or do we have to wait for your eyeshadowmatching video? :)

[@emilinebee6280]

I also have an art background and I really appreciate you addressing the cool/warm issue.

[@junebugsnicklefritz876]

Keep “why come” it makes me laugh!

[@jillianness8629]

Great video! I love your channel so much. I'm very much just a makeup lover, not a makeup artist and my channel is mostly just reviews from that perspective, I don't give makeup application advice, lol, and your channel is such a diamond in the rough! Especially these days 😍😘😍😘

[@ybperky1]

This video had me swatching every foundation shade I own and realizing they are all so wrong 😫 I think I have the right yellow undertone but they are all too light. Ugh. This was super helpful though I learned a lot!

[@trolfek]

I did swim with dolphins and you are right. 🐬

[@emmaarmstrong4099]

Please tell me what eyeshadow you are wearing....i love it!

[@7ADGr8]

Love you videos ❤️

[@Nebel647]

Your video is so informative! I always find that my skin looks too grey compared to all the foundation. My skin is like a greenish yellow but a very muted greenish yellow??? I will try your tips the next time I pick up a new foundation. Right now I just blend it alllllll the way down my neck so my face doesn't look super golden/bright compared to my neck and chest.

[@lizmiller7681]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I really, honestly DO want to say, "Why come did no one ever tell me all this?!?" Because, I'm not a Spring chicken anymore, ya know?, and I've purchased a few bottles, over the years, of various foundations, in various brands, in price ranges from Dollar General, to, "Please follow me.....Madam, if you will, please have a seat there. Coffee? Tea? Very good. Giancarlo will join you momentarily." I've been deigned everything from cool with neutral undertones, to neutral with cool warm tones, to Winter to Spring to Autumn to alien...and no one, NO ONE has ever sold me foundation that matched me. I've always had to mix colors and/or use different shades on different parts of my face, chin, neck, or décolleté. And, all that was still before thinking about setting powder. I look forward to your next installment. Finally, someone who makes sense.

[@mjrain06]

Off topic but wow your eye makeup is beautiful! What products did you use?

[@memphia1910]

I really struggle with foundation matching since I have rosacea on my face and it makes it look a lot darker than my natural skin :/ I will have to try these steps to see if it helps.

[@avantikamisra]

Thanks for talking science about the 'warm' and 'cool' sides of spectrum vs. conflicting foundation world definitions! Something all beauty channels should watch and try to understand instead of confusing their millions of subscribers. I appreciate your explaining the process but I have a long way to go in seeing the subtle difference in color...in the meanwhile I will continue to spend on foundation I can't use... :(

[@xStarlightXbreakdown]

Thank you for being one of the first beauty influencers that make sense about the “warm vs”cool “ nonsense . It’s really annoying to me . This is what I was saying both yellow and pink or red are warm colors . I do think it’s the blue wavelength that makes skin tones cooler but overall no skin tone is “cool” even in albinoism . They lack pigment , which means they technically they would be neutral because they don’t lean yellow or red . They often have surface tones but that not pigments . That being said olive would be the cooler tone because out of all the skin tone it is cooler and people are once again picking up those green tones from wavelength that contains the blue . It’s like with blue eyes , there’s no blue melanin, the wavelength reflecting back to your skin and then of course genes and dna . I also think people need to stop with the stupid guidelines like the color of veins when all the color of your veins lean cool ! And any skin tone can have any color veins . I’ve seen pink skin with green veins and yellow with purple . I’ve seen yellow skin tones naturally flatter cool tones and red undertones naturally flatter warm tones . It’s not about what “undertone “ or temperature you are , it about what individually compliments you and contrast you . That’s why color draping is a lot better and looking into seasons to make your own custom palletes . I hope you make a video on this since there’s need to be more videos debunking this . I have been watching your videos because it actually makes sense lol.

[@avantikamisra]

I will be ever so grateful if you could give a few tips around buying a foundation shade using one you have that matches your skin...somehow swatching side by side doesn't work

[@danieltani2474]

Thank you so much for this video and to talk about racism. I’m starting to do a MUA course and I wanna be prepared for all skin types. This series of videos are helping me so much. I bought 3 salt pallet with all the bundles and I will do like you suggested to do. A pallet for each color of skin. A pallet for light skin tone, another for medium and another for deep skin. And I bought a mini one for myself HAHAHAHAHAHA. You inspire me so much. I can’t wait to try all your products and different skin type. I watched a video about a MUA talking that she doesn’t like to use cream products in her clients because it doesn’t last as much as powder product. At the same time I don’t like to use too much powder products because it looks so creepy in real life. Is it possible you do a video taking about cream products X powder and how to make cream products last more time?

[@danieltani2474]

If you already have a video like that ignore the question, I will find out sooner or later because I’m watching everything hahahahaha

[@peachtea3912]

Uhhh I'm so glad someone agrees that the warm/cool thing makes no sense in terms of colour 👀 as a very left-handed right-brained person this video makes me and my wenus very happy

[@SarahJaiyn]

Please tell me what happened to that video of you did of the zombie look? I think you turned your brother into a zombie. I love that video!

[@ThrowIDown]

I just need to know what the best foundations are for a yellow-as-hell girl like me. I swear that even “yellow” foundations (recommended by others) tend to be too pink for me. I tend to be light-medium (closer to light.) I have dry skin so I prefer a foundation that I don’t have to set with powered but also won’t transfer like crazy. My skin is pretty clear so I prefer a light-medium coverage for daily use, and maybe possibly a medium-full for special occasions. I’m asking for a lot... I know. Haven’t been able to find a foundation that’s my undertone and right formula.

[@rikkirikki4892]

IVANA girl I am in your boat. I'm gonna copy and paste what I wrote to another yellow pale girl above so I don't have to retype everything 😜 Maybe it'll help a bit. Hi! I'm just like you! I'm still looking for a formulation for my skin type (I'm very dry) but my best colour match has been Fit Me! Matte and Poreless. I don't have the shade on me right now, but it's their lightest shade in their warm range. Make SURE it's Matte and Poreless, the dewey finish range is actually different despite the color names being the same! If you are normal to oily, it will work very well for you -- it works for me if I'm extremely well-moisturized. My friend recommends Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundations and she is as pale as me, but a bit more neutral. I haven't bought it yet because I have a hard time committing to $40 foundation, but it's pale enough that she has used it to mix into foundations that are a touch too dark. If you like a more natural/light finish, I found that NARS has a great tinted moisturizer line that runs very pale. The shade "terre-neuve" (I think?) worked very well for me, although it leaned more neutral than warm. There are actually quite a few options for us out there, although it is slightly more difficult than for other pale/white girls as even the slightest oxidation can look really odd when you already don't want any orangey-pink undertones. Those are just the ones I know off the top of my head as I'm still looking for my holy grail foundation and I'm not a huge makeup junkie, but it's what works for me! Oh, I've also be using the L'Oréal True Match in their palest/warm shade. It's still not quite exact, but it's super cheap and easy to find and a very basic but solid formula so it's my go-to if I'm having a hard time finding something and I'm too dry for the Fit Me! (Which is often lol) I hope this gives you a starting point!

[@JenniferAllardice]

did you see the new viseart palette? 💸💸

[@Joolee89]

Totes at work watching this at my desk. #multitasking #youhavethevoiceofanangel

[@utetim]

What if your neck is darker than the rest of your body ?

[@Angie_suv]

I'm so jealous of people who live in counties where you can return make up!!! I'm a never ending supply of foundations for my friends and family since matching is a pain in the ass for me. Hopefully, now it's going to be easier

[@emmam453]

I love the way you talk... and i must say you must be the cutest mom... :) wich i could be more like you... funny :)

[@jennw6809]

Ok so my face is darker than my neck so I've been matching my face. Then I hear some people say to take the foundation down the neck or bronze the neck, but I don't agree. I mean, my face is darker without makeup, so I'm just matching how I really look, right? I do take care to blend blend blend at the jawline. Thoughts???

[@Muslimah33]

I say why come all the time in my nonprofessional life

[@saskiavisser8988]

A dungeon!!! Hahaha 😂😂😂😂

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

I've heard in other tutorials that one thing you have to watch out for when color matching your foundation is the oxydation of your foundation. But WHAT does that mean? What would that look like? And how do I avoid it? Or what exactly do I have to look out for?

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

It’s when oils from your face darken the foundation color. So oily folks are more likely to deal with oxidation, using an oil controlling primer, and/or powdering on top of primer before foundation. Jackie Aina talks about oxidation, I recommend checking her channel out if you have oily skin

[@courtneyr6260]

Please don’t punish the rest of us for people who don’t get it, I love why come no one told me this!

[@jessicahathorn7087]

"WHY come no one told me that" makes me laugh each time!

[@kimisilv]

Oh yeah #WCNOTMT I am team "whycome"

[@dayah030191]

This is freakin helpful! Tq!!💏💏💏

Ohh come on! Don't change the name! It's funny and so you, and we who love and get your humor really like it!

[@kimisilv]

A giant fish with a lot of teeth is exactly what I would be thinking. I much prefer to watch them from a safe distance. :D

[@brookofjewels]

I have had so incredibly much trouble finding a foundation. I am very fair (usually one step from the lightest), but also very yellow-toned. So literally every foundation I've tried so far makes my face look red, even when I've asked for a yellow-toned foundation. Do you have any recommendations? Also, if my neck is a shade or two lighter than my face, do you recommend choosing a foundation that's a shade darker than my neck, or choosing a shade to match my neck and using Bronzer to bring life back?

[@MsZombieTeddybear]

I am also very fair and yellow. I use Maybelline's Fit Me matte & poreless in 110 porcelain

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

I have the same problem! I'm so fair that even the lightest foundations are usually too dark for me. Pair that with acne prone skin and you have a seemingly unsolvable makeup issue.

[@rikkirikki4892]

A.L. Johns I'm also very fair and I recently found out that it was actually not my paleness but the fact that I had my undertones all wrong! Check my comment above to the OP, and see if any of those will work for you. If the Tarte foundation is not a match for you (it really is the palest of the pale) I would maybe try playing with differently toned foundations to see if you maybe aren't looking for quite the correct thing!

[@ALJohns-nm4ht]

Rikki Pilgrim thank you for the tips! I'm not a huge make-up junkie either and I don't want to spend too much money on it, but it helps to filter the options a little

[@janeburke147]

So glad I got it right on myself neutral yay lol xxx

[@gaby2766]

Immediately stopped everything I was going to watch this.

WHY COME are we even considering a name change?! I LOVE WCNOTMT ;)

[@parismorning]

I prefer Why Come to How come!

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

My skin tone is pink. If I matched foundation to my skin tone, it would look like I used blush instead of setting powder. If I use a yellow base, I look like I used neutral powder. I've tried using green to cancel out the red and I just look pale, sick, green, or too blue since ALL the drug store greens have blue in them. Honestly the struggle is real

[@missy_michaels]

Please don't change the name of the series. Ignore the idiots who don't know that you are clearly intelligent enough to know the difference and that you are simply using your artistic license to be adorable. smdh This is why I don't read comments. I have no patience for idiocy.

[@tex1622]

Call me a masochist, but I live for your threats, Kiki!

[@yvonnemariane2265]

When Bobby Brown says everyone should just wear a yellow undertone, that's racism.

[@potato-sama2976]

A majority of foundations do not match my skin tone at all. I am Chinese and very yellow, so many foundations will look okay but when I swatch them in natural lighting they look pink or orange in comparison to my skin...

[@ZombiePyaa]

That one guy that dislikes the videos isn't here yet, should I replace him/her ?

[@agnovum1654]

just saying olive is definitely not cool - olive is a warm green, not a cool green

[@agnovum1654]

also, there are cool reds and warm reds - the shade of pink/red in 'cool toned' products is a cool toned red.

[@ajujuadoidoi]

Don’t change the name! It gets people’s attention IMO as well as being too cute

Don't change the name!! Ppl have no sense of humor!!! Keep why come!!!!
