As a mom of 2 whose kids don't get along, working a high stress job, living near family I don't get along with, with a marriage always on the rocks a full face of makeup is the only thing to get me through the days some days. It's my fake it until I can breathe mask. Thank you for this video.

[@cindicleee]

Sending you love ❤

[@mleirracpatterson1637]

I needed a video like this from you today. Our family just moved cross country and I LOVE our new house, but change is HARD for me and my anxiety is so bad I feel sick CONSTANTLY. Thank you for coming on and being REAL and not always pretending your life is perfect, it feels nice to be able to watch your videos and feel like a friend is taking their turn unloading stress and saying “it’s okay to not be okay all the time, and it’s okay to do something “silly” to make yourself feel better”

[@kackie]

Awww this is amazing. Thank you for saying such nice things 🥲

[@notes_to_elle8664]

Yeah. Putting on makeup is the only thing I've found that will guarantee I stop picking at my face for several hours. Once I wash my face all bets are off though, fml 😆

[@misseclair]

I was thinking the same thing! I was like I really need a Kackie video right now and I open KZbin and there you are hahah.

[@emmafoley8987]

I love makeup for conserving spoons! I'm having bad pain days with some chronic issues: making myself look awake and "healthy" helps me keep my issues my business. I enjoy having that control over my appearance to avoid well meaning but exhausting questions.

[@lelalu101]

Thank you for talking about Stressed Skin because I struggle with skin picking at times and I always feel guilty because I don't want to hurt my skin but brain goes brrr 😥😥

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

Those little healing spot things are awesome picking prevention. I had to put one one a spot last week because I just couldn't leave the dang thing alone.

[@lelalu101]

@@lisadgingersnaps9843 When I'm having a bad breakout, I will apply like 8 patches to prevent me from getting to them. I have a bunch of cheapie ones from BH cosmetics that I use for just protecting blemishes from myself. I love thicker high end ones like some of the double layer ones for jucier blemishes when they really need to be squished back into the skin. But super basic ones are Incredible for when I notice that I might be at risk of picking or I am putting myself in timeout from having picked prior. (I have a Dx of OCD/Dermatillomania and PCOS so picking breakouts is a constant battle)

[@shelleynichols9626]

Spoon Theory FTW! Also I finally made a derm appointment to remove this tiny cyst on my face that I gouge every several months for the last decade. From one picker to another 👊🏻

[@kackie]

Oooh yes my esthetician knows I don't have limits

[@karenover50]

Such a great instructional video!!

[@montananerd8244]

I cannot recommend urea enough as a hero ingredient for unhappy skin. It is a humectant and an occlusive, and in light formulas, will not overwhelm most skin. I don't know many lines that feature it as a top ingredient, but I went from beautiful $50 creams to Gold Bond (it's around $1/oz) and never regret it - the pure moisture and the retinol overnight completely rehabbed my sore and deeply dehydrated skin - and i live on the prairie desert so its always very arid. I reuse my old bougie jars and no one would ever know that it's a face cream from the same brand that sponsored Shaq to talk about jock itch. And its terrible name means it likely won't trend and will be affordable for years to come. But not all GB face & body lotions have urea, so check ingredients. Seriously, transformed my skin in 4 months, from 4-5 layers of high end lotions that are technically suited to my skin to just needing spf and a cream, and very little congestion.

[@blendofdays]

Ohhhh yes! You just reminded me a few yrs back my skin was super unhappy & I started putting a urea cream on my face & it REALLY helped! Then I told some friends & one of them was a cosmetologist & they were aghast because apparently you're not supposed to put it on the face? Idgaf. I did it anyways & I don't regret it 😅

[@shelleynichols9626]

Shout out to UREA! Yes! Agreed! Marketing be damned!

[@LesPetitsBisous]

This is what my skin has been like for the past couple of years. LOTS of hormonal acne (that I pick), redness, and dry skin. And the decade before that, it was the same except insanely oily. Thank the universe for makeup!

[@rosemartin4398]

Kackie you’re so pretty ! Makeup or no makeup ! You remind me of my daughter … beautiful inside and out ❤

[@kellywatts6227]

Thanks lovely, I so relate to the importance of mental health regarding hair ties 😅 Even my partner gets the vibe when I'm stressed and looking for a hair tie, running around like we're both looking for my sanity😂 That's love❤ I swear I go from a hundred of those things to none. Amazing how much better I feel when I find that thing😊

[@schnuspelconny]

I understand your statement very well. Sometimes a little bit of makeup can save your day, even though you know full well that it's just "color". PS: the givenchy concealer has some glitter in it, maybe that's what you saw under your eyes

[@blendofdays]

As someone who has fair sensitive, dehydrated, combo (dry/dehydrated everywhere except t-zone which is oily) skin? Add to that the hormonal roller coaster of being Peri menopausal? 😏 I completely relate. 🫶 Around the edges of my nose had been the bane of my existence for decades. Rn the spring allergies have my nose constantly running & crusty. Awesome. 😅

[@KaitlynMae_]

I also like to use those micro dart patches for the deep under the skin. But, oh boy, those can get pricey and when you have multiple on your face.... I've been using the mario badescu buffering lotion at night for those under the skin, painful ones, and it's been awesome! Hope this helps someone who's looking for a more cost-effective option!

[@lalajobo]

i have got to get an under eye corrector. like 10 jars/tubes. my dark circles are aging me more than anything. my husband has cancer, i’m his sole advocate, the last 6 months have been such a roller coaster and i’ve never looked worse. i’ve just now started to give a fuck again and my concealer isn’t cutting it. i think you look great btw, stressed or not! you always look polished to me. 👍

[@sinisterrouge_88]

The hair-tie will now become my metaphor to get through the daily meltdown 😂 hahaha! The art will be identifying the need for ‘hair-tie’ in the moment and ideally having a hero like you ready to hand one over. Hold me together hair-tie ❤ hahah I love it.

[@RandyandCyndi]

I do the same thing with pink and orange colors family in lipsticks too. I buy A warm and a cool in blushes and Lipsticks.

[@karovalkea]

Your makeup looks absolutely beautiful here, and I must say you're really selling me on that VB bronzing brick that I had no interest in before I found your channel a few weeks ago 😄

[@baileydubs]

I have been dealing with your exact issue

[@rosemartin4398]

I would maybe try first aid beauty .. it’s meant for sensitive skin . It’s fragrance free and non irritating . 😊

[@nicoleftamer]

Random question… you know when you have a stick product such as cream blush/bronzer or chapstick, there is a point where the top is flat but there is quite a bit of product left? What do you do? Do you dig out the rest or because of ease of use you consider it done? Would love to know because I hate wasting product but feel like I waste so much time trying to finish something in an inconvenient way that it takes away from my other products I want to dig my hands into! Would love a video on this topic if it interests you!

[@Jaynna09]

Schar gluten free Ciabatta bread is soft and great for burger sliders.

[@ultraviolettas]

How would you compare the Ciaté primer to the RMS primer?

[@dietcokehead]

Kackie, re: the keratosis situation: My derm seemed skeptical that it wasn’t just placebo effect, but I feel like my facial KP/eczema flares are massively eased by vitamin D. Like popping a supplement or having a day out in the sun will pretty much erase the bulk of that texture within a day. How does sunshine time play into your skin cycle? I’m so curious if this is just me.

[@chaosofthestars]

where is your necklace from? ✨️

[@findsmiles9282]

Is Face Base like Bobbi’s new WTF (but with tint)?

[@emmagerike4000]

Any product recommendations for when the skin around your eyes is super dry and irritated? I get really dry under eyes and I feel like nothing works or it’s too irritating to fix the dry and flaking and then my makeup won’t stick on the really dry parts. I’ve had oily skin my whole life and my skin type recently changed and I’m very overwhelmed with not knowing what to do.

[@graceavegapadilla2227]

My poor skin is going through it and on Mother’s Day everyone on FaceTime was like oh grace what happened to your skin?….now I’m traveling so I’m going to do thin layers and maybe chill with my dewy preferences

[@valariebrown3768]

Two weeks ago I allowed a Sephora aesthetician to talk me into a Perk treatment, and my chin was NOT happy. I had to use a cortisone cream and no make up for several days for it to calm down from a near exema flair, and it has been 40 years or more since that occurred on my face. Also used Lanolips ointment during the day. Just flakey, itchy, mess. I have aging combo skin, not dry, so I was flummoxed. Has anyone else had an experience like that?

[@whooareyoou]

As an uber-fine-haired girl myself, I wanted to share my recent Virtue Labs discovery. Got their travel-sized "full" set, and my first wash was the most trance-like experience I've had outside a salon. The whole alpha keratin thing sounds a little gimmicky, but I found them via a dermatologist (Dr Sam Ellis on YT), and my hair has been on its best behaviour. Might be worth a try?

[@celinag9968]

I am a pro picker. My pro tip, pick up the lances that people use for diabetes/blood checks. They are teeny tiny & sterile. Then I use a colloidal patches, and the spot is much more flat the next day, no visible “holes” etc.

[@janemarx3891]

Is the under eye corrector you used from Beauty Pie, dare I say, Hannah’s “old gum” shade…?

[@kackie]

Oh, no I don't think so. Old gum is GRAY.

[@janemarx3891]

@@kackie fair enough - the gum visual in my imagination needs to age more!

[@myskinterest7840]

The way we use so much of the same skincare and the same makeup (I've been re-obsessed with the bronzing brick as well and using it the exact same way as you are on your eyes here) and yet my makeup still doesn't look this good 🤣

[@kackie]

😭😭😭
