Beyoncé’s Makeup Artist Explains Her Iconic Music Video Looks | 2013-Now | Pretty Detailed

[@joymechell277]

He could explain anything , legit any random thing and I'd listen to it . Wow , he sounds like teaching is his profession . I'm here for it

[@nordianabintiramli8050]

Joy Mechell ikr. He's so professional !!

[@joymechell277]

Quinndee_ I don't wear makeup , but if I did I'm calling him 😂😂 even though I can't afford him , he knows what he's doing . I've never heard any one explain makeup in depth the way he does

[@nordianabintiramli8050]

Joy Mechell I'll choose him over all the beauty gurus on youtube and Instagram. For fuck sake, none of them is close to his level of professionalism. Yes I agree with you. Imma makeup beginner and he makes me want to learn putting on makeup so bad. I wish I have enough money and famous to hire him as my makeup artist.

[@joymechell277]

Quinndee_ I just need him to make make videos or start a channel 😂😂 if live to practice on other people . Makeup could definitely be a side job for me rn...if I ever get married I want his opinion before I let anyone touch my face . Bey has been serving looks for years. To know he's behind her makeup just gives me chills

[@nordianabintiramli8050]

Joy Mechell hell yeah. It would be good for us if he starts his channel. I always curious who's the one that always does beyonce's makeup bcs she looks flawless in every video. Thank God, finally we met him. I'm gonna follow his journey on ig, who knows one day he gives us makeup tutorials and it will be beneficial. Haha

[@janaeraquelmiller]

Loving his reasoning and education behind all of the looks!

[@BJ4667]

"And I hate all that ugly blue light, I'm a black girl you can't put blue lights on black girls " -Beyoncé (2006 or 2007) ........... my queen was really speaking facts

[@idkbrosstudios8446]

Literally what I said when I was practicing for my ballet performance. They really tried to put me in blue light and I looked awful.

[@jermen5137]

He's a great speaker if anyone noticed

[@pariscowan3328]

J G I will let him know

[@LynnLee-fs3dp]

cute 2

[@XxRednBlackxX]

1:31 "You can't put blue lights on black girls." - Beyonce done it again!!

[@MadameCorgi]

Not what he said

[@XxRednBlackxX]

Its something Bey said like 10 years ago during a rehearsal. look for Ring the alarm rehearsal. I'm alluding to the fact that Beyonce is always putting some type of past situation into new ideas and music. Its why shes innovative and the Queen. and why her fans are so psycho-analytical.

[@samanthasy9290]

I remember that from her documentary. When she said that lmaooooo

[@emanuelcarvalho8510]

I ALWAYS remember that when I see her in blue light hahaha when I see "sorry" live too

[@joymechell277]

Shaundraneka Gills right 😂😂😂 she was dead serious when she was explaining it back in the day . She knew

[@stellastrange4441]

[@nadiaell.3231]

[@joymechell277]

I feel so educated after this ...like I just want to go do someone's makeup and try these tips 😩😩😂😂😂

[@777haadiyamhomed]

Beyonce looks good in anything

[@ashablue78]

I love his pointer thing. It’s like he’s a professor. But honestly there needs to be real makeup artists on KZbin.

[@poorservice1105]

nothing sexier in a man, than passion for his craft.

[@jaimarvel5199]

3:34 he said she didn't have on no foundation and just look how flawless her skin is 🙌🙌

[@ronellekekana9703]

"You can't put blue lights on a black girl"-Beyonce said it best 😂🙌🏽💞 'Haunted' make up was the best though ❤️👏🏾

[@kingconscience.1597]

Sir John needs to do classes or tutorials, if he doesn't already. He's great! Beyoncé is EVERYTHING! YA hear me?! EVERYTHING.

[@meme4389]

Ashlee Richardson he's doing one in charlotte nc.

[@TheMovieMyLife]

That was great. I Now want more tips with more details, please! :) I felt like a student in class who had to give up on taking notes because he seemed to move through everything so quickly.

[@jmqi8]

[@ydaphuck__youlyin6978]

[@breannadeleon4456]

YdaPhuck __ YouLyin? The University of Texas at Austin has a course on Beyoncé and her feminism

[@lulamanjuza]

[@charlienonya7016]

Beyonce has always been glamorous with or without makeup. 2006 Get Me Bodied, and Upgrade U music videos were my favorite looks of that time everything from hair, makeup.

[@gladysquesada5048]

Th Formation look is stunning and expresive.. I love your work Sir John!

[@aubreyaragon988]

Pretty Hurts is my all time favorite songs. Any woman can relate to the song.

[@danpatrick24]

His voice is so soothing/calming!

[@RheRheSmily]

I like the way he says sorry

[@sluaghsidhe8384]

So... Did Beyonce name her son after her make-up artist?

[@sanogoadamagyram8166]

Layla Abdush-Shaheed Ahaha Jay Z said that they named him Sir because of his attitude when they went home. He said that he was taking himself very seriously even as a baby 😂😂😂😂

[@thulaganyomaphakwane5849]

Layla Abdush-Shaheed Girrrrrllllllllll😂😂😂😂i feel u

[@karitad.9944]

Very creative and artistic talent he has. Glue stick on a toothbrush... never would have guessed by looking at these pics.

[@QueenZsWorld]

I feel like even I could have done her make up. He makes it sound so simple

[@y.watinunglalkr4169]

I like how he uses a board with a stick to explain..

[@bananablob288]

Wow. So much detail goes into every look, and yet every look is so natural and simple yet elegant. We couldn't pick up on this, but instead everyone is obsessed over drag makeup nowadays.
