HOW TO: YOUTUBE BEAUTY LIGHTING SECRETS | DESI PERKINS

[@fitmamamin]

I cannot believe you guys took the time to do this for us. So many people “hide” their video secrets bcus they may feel threatened. Thanks for showing us all these amazing tips and tricks. Y’all work SO DAMN HARD.

[@DesiPerkins]

Never! I always want to inspire and help you guys with your creativity. There's room for everyone in this community. ❤️

[@GabrielleTongol]

Minhesh Rattanchandani couldn’t have said it better!!!

[@joysapani5844]

Right!!!! 🔥😍

[@shannonlynn7300]

Couldn't agree more, well said @minhesh

[@fitmamamin]

Desi Perkins your heart is PURE GOLD. Like I have never felt so connected to a person without ever meeting them. Your generosity is contagious.

[@ItsMyRayeRaye]

This is why you're the MVP! Thank you Desi!!!

[@thekookstups]

ItsMyRayeRaye YESSS legends supporting other legends!!

[@Stephyyy49]

ItsMyRayeRaye I

[@LydiaARROYO]

Awesome video Perkins😁 thank you for sharing 😉😉❤

[@nolagirl7082]

ItsMyRayeRaye Are you the girl that has that lash collab with Eyelure?? I loooove your lashes!! They are my absolute faves from the drugstore! I always loved the Eyelure #126's , but I could only get them when I shopped at ulta. Then they came out with your lashes (which are like exact matches to the Eyelure 126's), and put them in all the Walgreens so it's super convenient to get them anytime and I don't have to take a trip all the way to ulta!!

[@user-wu1wn6qs4x]

Nola Girl lol no that’s jasmine brown who did the collab

[@ahrie]

Pretty sure step 1 is get a Steven

[@lenysarodriguez1946]

Lola C Lmao exactly that’s what i got from this video! 😩🙌🏻 he knows what he’s doing lol

[@shaneykiss84]

Lola C I was thinking the exact same. Like ok, so where's my Steven to just know all this while I just sit in my glow cocoon looking all types of amazing. Gotta find a Steven! 👀 🎯📝

[@legallyunblonde2465]

Lola C lol 😂😂😂😂 true

[@MR-fl6ul]

Can I borrow your husband LMAO

[@MarcBoland]

I need a tutorial on that; how and where to get a sven 😂

[@GabyButler3]

This is the kind of KZbin that I like, and I miss. I'm so tired of the drama and tags. Thank you guys for all the tips!!!

[@bycandaceann]

Gaby Butler Yup I see what you mean!

[@anniegold1763]

Can we just appreciate how supportive her husband is 😍

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@iloveunique07]

I'm here for all the "we" talk. You two make a great pair. I know this video was about lighting set up, but the husband and wife love vibes were all over the place. at 8:04 i was screaming "kiss her kiss her!"

[@DesiPerkins]

LOL!! All I could hear in my head when reading this was the song in The Little Mermaid, "Go on and KISSS THE GIRLLLL" 😂😂😂❤️

[@iloveunique07]

Desi Perkins hahahaha it’s the vibes

[@julie4933]

Same girl. 😍😍

[@younglove2166]

India~Technical Juster

[@TheGlamourIndex]

I have so much respect for you guys for doing this! It's so hard to come by people who share this information, as if there's not enough room for everybody. I would definitely like to see more videos like this! I would love to know about your camera settings, how you edit your videos, anything really! Thank you so much.

[@extrateresstrial04]

The Glamour Index this is so true. Some youtubers can be soo greedy with some information like asif were not all trying to better ourselves 🙄

[@TheAdrianVee]

So true!! Took the words right out

[@LovelyyBianca]

Couldn’t have said it better ❣️

[@heymonalisacani6795]

Your husband is awesome, he seems like a real partner

[@MyLalacat]

Girl your husband is goals. He’s so supportive and knowledgeable LOL 👌you guys are cute!

[@yvettesantos255]

THE WAY STEVEN STARES AT DESI I LIVE😍😍😍😍

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

I know, it is so lovely. 💕

[@martj465]

I was thinking the same thing. So sweet.

[@milipedreros1884]

I dont film videos but I watched the video completely, just to see how generous you both are to give these useful tips to those who need them. Your generous and beautiful attitude contrasts with the usual selfishness that rules our world. God bless both of you.

[@ClaudiaFuenmayor]

I love how you guys have a room full of super expensive and fancy stuff but you give us alternatives that we can all afford! Thank you so much for making this video!

[@manalchoudhry1380]

Your videos ALWAYS look so professional and amazing quality!!!

[@DesiPerkins]

Manal Choudhry Ahhh Thank you so much. I always want to give you guys the best of anything I do.

[@manalchoudhry1380]

OMG you replied!!!! That just made my night! Been watching your videos forever, love you so much!!!!

[@imeldasandoval3067]

“Can I take you on a date” at the very end 😭❤️ It’s so cute that he helps you with filming and your setup, you guys are actual goals.

[@tiffaaanyox]

This video is going to help so many people, glad you're sharing your secrets!

[@DesiPerkins]

Tiffany Nicole 😘💋❤️❤️

[@tiffaaanyox]

Desi Perkins keep up the great work❤️

[@PiperDeYoung]

I never understood why my husband loved Home Depot? Then I realized its like his version of Sephora 🤣 But I think now we can both roll up into Home Depot together!! 🙌🏼

[@yascantu4787]

Piper and Tyler I can relate enough lmfaooo!!!

[@samariadiaz4211]

Piper and Tyler LOOOOVVVVVEEE YOUR COMMENT !! 😄❤️❤️

[@moeshickenyay]

Yes, spot on, personally I just found out about Sephora, Sephora=HomeDepot.

[@carolinenorthstarpola7392]

49 seconds into the video I thought "omggg I better quickly pause to tell her how genuine and selfless she's being, sharing with those who wish to better their KZbin videos or even start making a video, because no one else will thank her for how much this video will actually mean to some people." So I scroll down, BAAAMMM so much people already thanking her and agreeing how she's a lifesaver with all these helpful tips!!!! YOU DESERVE ALL THE BEST THINGS LIFE HAS TO OFFER DESI WESI !!!!!!!!

[@carolinenorthstarpola7392]

Now that's I've watch the whole video, SVEN, A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU TOO, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND ALL THE GENUINE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU HAVE FOR OUR DESI WESI. YOU BOTH SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF EACH OTHER AND YOUR OWN SELVES 👏👏👏👏❤️

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

I know, I too got caught up in all the well deserved wove! 💕

[@coralakey]

*Nice to have: Cute husband that is totally supportive and helps you film. SO CUTE!*

[@userkc29]

I'll never understand why some people are so stingy when it comes to sharing information about how they film, lighting etc. So thank you so much for sharing this with us 💕💕

[@elizabeth.peterssss]

the fact that we now know you were going through so much, fertility wise, during all this is SOO crazy to think about. now you have two littles and you’re living your dream life. congratulations on making it Desi. you’ve come so far.

[@Princesssale]

Props af to Steven for being the BEST husband!! Love you both.

[@KytiaLamour]

This is one of THEE most informative and easy to understand videos out there like this. Thank you guys for taking the time to show us your process. Also, both of you have really soothing voices. ☺️

[@samwager8718]

I think it was Laura or manny who was struggling with lighting a while ago and they said how a lot of youtubers are so secret and don’t want to share their secrets with others. I think it’s amazing you guys put this out there to not only help your friends but help everyone!

[@mczxo3563]

You’re the only KZbinr who would have the effort to show us how you make your videos, I appreciate you for this ❤️

[@wendeee1]

Mcz Xo I totally agree with you!!!! It’s so frustrating that none of the beauty guru’s out there want is to know how they get there videos to look this good . There is plenty enough to go around imo!! I stopped following a lot of big time influencers just because they sucked us in then spit us out after they moved on up into their luxury lifestyle.... not desi she and her husband are at least helping us , only ones really

[@bycandaceann]

Mcz Xo I know, so nice of her! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@CourtneyRuiz]

THE FACT YOU OPENED UP AND LET US ALL KNOW DETAILS TO PERFECTION IS VERY APPRECIATED! Waited for this type of video!! To see your man even help you out and really get into it like you is so cute! xoxo Love you Desi!

[@aubriewhittaker9396]

I really appreciate you guys stressing "it's nice to have , but not a must have" makes me feel so much better about not being able to afford all that fancy shmancy equipment 😅😅 and you go Steven! You are a natural in front of the camera 💁

[@MariaCruz]

holy shit Desi I knew you put time and effort into making your videos, but this is a whole other level! Completely loved this and will definitely use some of these tips with my videos!

[@Shanna777]

Indeed that behind every successful makeup youtuber is a very supportive husband..!!!!! God bless you both.!!! Learned a lot from this video..!!! Thanks.. 😍😍😍

[@pamcakemix]

As a tiny tiny youtuber that films in her dinning room, I completely appreciate this! Thank you sooooooo much for this Desi and Steven, you guys are awesome! Definitely down for some editing tips please!

[@waheedadeen9405]

Steven should do a video on editing because you’re editing is A1

[@Lauras_Views]

The way Sven looks at Desi at 8:06; I am not ABLE! 😭🙃

[@GiselKauffman]

LaurasViews I was thinking the same! 😍

[@ainsliemcdonald9832]

I had the exact same thought😭😍 adorable

[@MichelleCordero]

LaurasViews lol I totally went back to check it out and ahhh my heart 😍😍😭😍😭😭

[@michikeypoo]

Like he wants to eat her 😂

[@Gassamakadiatou]

Hello, I'm French and I had trouble finding a video of this type in French. I think this is the most complete and easy to understand video I have found on how to do your makeup videos. thank you

[@iriskalfonso]

Steven needs his own videography/photography channel!

[@Jordanavargasf]

Iris Ruther yes !!!!!!!

[@chameleongirl]

Yasss

[@jomontanee]

So true.

[@kellyclayton7523]

Even for someone who doesn’t do KZbin/ vlog ect I actually found this really interesting!!

[@SheaWhitney]

Annnnd cue Home Depot selling out of foam insulation😂 This was amazing and really helpful! Most KZbinrs keep these things a secret!

[@blancar4219]

They way he looks at you 🥰 awee.

[@allmistie1579]

I cannot thank you enough for this!!! I have been on the struggle bus with lighting for my videos and no one wants to share the real tips and tricks that will actually help. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills and for reinforcing that there is room for everyone to be successful. Keep killin’ it Desi!

[@CarrieAndrews39]

Awesome loved it. Would like to know how you do selfies for Instagram pictures plz. Very informative and thank you.

[@valeriedemarcos9685]

Smh I took a semester in college to learn all of this and who would've known I could've learned all of these great tips for free and by an amazing couple! 😩💜

[@brittanyjones6225]

The most beautiful thing about this video is your pure genuine heart. You are being so selfless in this video and WANTING to help other people out there who love what you do. You have helped and touched so many people who have hopes and dreams of YouTubing and for this your many blessings will come. God bless you beautiful!

[@taliacareypillay4522]

This video is so amazing..it so great to see behind the scenes..thank you for the time and effort..not alot of you tubers would be so comfortable to share what they have learnt...appreciate the genuineness of your channel always👌👌👌

[@PrincessEzeofor1]

Can we get a video on POST PRODUCTION?!?! 😩 P&TY! Editing software, formatting, what settings and applications within the editing software do you guys use to get the highest quality videos for YT and IG! TIA you two! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JeanneLin]

Princess Ezeofor PLEASE OMG DESI DO THIS^

[@angelicamartinez3762]

YESS PLEASE DESI

[@SisiYemmieTV]

Yes this!

[@adelarosa1307]

Yesssssss! Agreed.

[@minaoglam7134]

🙏🏽

[@breeroberts3554]

Omg please make this a series!! It’s perfect for someone like me who’s just starting out on KZbin. I just use my iPhone and amazon lights it works for me but I’m obsessed with learning more! Thanks for this!

[@MarcelaVeronica]

Champagne Wishes A series would be perfect! I use my iPhone to film and edit but I need to invest in some lights!

[@breeroberts3554]

A Mamas Joy I just got some lights from Amazon $60 for a set of 2 they’re perfect for what I need right now! I edit on my iPad too. You really don’t need to spend too much to start

[@MarcelaVeronica]

Champagne Wishes True. It took me forever to get started because I thought I needed so much stuff! I use daylight but I will definitely check amazon for some affordable lights, thank you!!!

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

Champagne Wishes - I bought one of those LED ring lights off of Amazon, and I hate it!!!! I've seen it work so well for so many people, but for me - it makes me look BLUE!!! 🤖 Were the lights that you bought like spot lights??

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

BTW - I loved your home decor shopping haul!!! You and I have so much of the same taste!!! You did good, the video looked terrific!! 👍

[@nategawd]

Yall’s studio is GOALSSSSS

[@DianaGutierrez]

Please never delete this video!! 😭❤️ instead please film more of these haha. You guys are the best for sharing secrets!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@hell0kittylover]

your success is going to multiply just for sharing this😉

[@PiperDeYoung]

lills I totally agree! How awesome of her to share this so other can learn and succeed! Love Desi!! ❤️

[@LavishlyBritt]

Yass! Thank you for all of the information! I have been trying to perfect my set up with what I have. GREAT tips. I am going to try and implement some of these in the near future!

[@DesiPerkins]

Yesss!! I'm so happy this video helped! Ahhh all smiles right now ❤️❤️

[@brittanyboodles2375]

Yessss filming and editing series please!!! You are so lucky to have such a sweet and supportive husband!

[@emilyfrappierphotography8770]

As a photographer/videographer, I truly appreciate all the labor you guys put into your videos!! They look so professional, the editing is so amazing! Please show more! As much as I love watching makeup videos I love watching photo videos too👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@deidrastewart94]

So glad you did this video, I don't know of any other big KZbinrs that I watch that have done a video like this and this in depth. Super helpful since I am wanting to start a channel but having a hard time figuring out a set up. Thank you!!!

[@WhatsForDin]

Also, we need the deets on those fire glasses girl!!! 🔥😎🔥

[@jobedakhanam6414]

Same here 😭😭

[@allessandra3549]

The way Steven looks at you makes me so happy! It's so rare to find and you deserve it

[@mariachavarin3575]

Awww! “ can I take you on a date “ 😍

[@bunkesor9370]

xwx

[@micalahcurry6246]

This is so helpful I want to start a channel but I know zero about production! ❤️

[@mariramirez2848]

micalah curry same

[@DesiPerkins]

micalah curry I hope this video inspires you to start your channel. 💋 I knew zero about production when I started. It’s all trial and error. There are still so many things I don’t know about studio lighting and I’ve been doing this for years. So don’t let it discourage you!

[@micalahcurry6246]

Desi Perkins thanks desi love you!!!!😍❤️🌈

[@jonmichaelvaldez5798]

This was extremely helpful!!! I have been wanting to start a KZbin channel but have felt extremely overwhelmed about how to do a setup and get the proper lighting and having the right tools, after watching this video it has really helped me figure out what I need to put out great content! Thank you Desi & Steven!!! Such a helpful video! 💗💗💗

[@DesiPerkins]

Of course!! So happy I could help. I know it was so overwhelming for me too when I first started. It's what really held me back when I thought of making a channel. 🙈

[@jonmichaelvaldez5798]

Desi Perkins that’s exactly what had been holding me back lol it’s time to start saving money 😂☺️

still waiting for stevens series. this is strangely satisfying to watch. love the organization

[@KyraWhitlock]

OH MY GOD STEVEN “CAN I TAKE YOU ON A DATE?” HE LOOKS AT YOU WITH SO MUCH LOVE IN HIS EYES OMG THAT IS WHAT I ASPIRE TO HAVE GODDAMNNNNN 😍😭😍😭😍

[@ignitedcanvas6729]

I love this video! FYI if you're starting out and wanting a camera, the Canon Rebel series are more affordable than the 60d, 70d, and 80d ones. They have autofocus and some of the newer ones have a flip out screen as well. Also you can hook your camera up to your laptop so you can use your laptop as a monitor if you don't have a TV lying around

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

WOAH!! I didn't know that you could monitor your cameras live footage from a laptop! (I guess that's what I get for never bothering to read manuals.) I've been looking to upgrade my barely used three year old Canon Rebel SLR for a camera that has that flip out screen feature - and now that I know this - it's going to save me the extra expense! I'm so glad that you posted your comment, it really helped me out quite a bit!! 😘

[@ignitedcanvas6729]

Kelley Broussard Mackaig lol no problem! There's tons of tutorials on here on how to tether your camera to your laptop so you don't even have to dust off your instruction manuals

[@callanspicher2808]

Do I film videos? No. Am I watching this? Chick yes. 🐓🐓

[@iamtheonlyaura]

Callan Spicher same here lol

[@muachrista6526]

[@makeupbyrainbow]

This is a mood...I love that your transferring your knowledge and helping others❤️✨Reminds Me So Much of why I love you.💕

[@theresabattaglia5882]

You guys are such a power couple, so amazing how sven helps you with everything... I love you guys 😭😭

[@theperaltas6055]

I don't think you can understand how long I've been wanting to ask you to do a video like this lol! So happy, I didn't even watch it yet, I gotta get snacks 🤓 thank you for helping us fellow striving youtubers out with behind the scenes! Love you chickiieee

[@clairissaa]

Noli’s little taps of her toes on the floor was so cute during this one! Love watching you and Steven on camera too! ❤️

[@JamieAmos]

Dope video. I love seeing the behind the scenes stuff. Thank yoooou!

[@AshmanBasri]

Omg thank you so much, i’ve been wondering about beauty guru filming set up for so long, and now one of my fav guru did one😍😍😍

[@dmarlesoso]

[@diaryofablackspinster]

Guuuurrrrllll looking forward to a big vlog about your last benefit trip👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@teeyelceetlc5605]

I'm just starting and this video is AWESOME! Thank you! I love how you continuously say, "Necessity, not needed." If not, beginners will spend all their money trying to purchase a lot of professional equipment, not knowing how to use it, or end up quitting during the process. This was Great! Thanks again. BTW, you two are a cute couple. I love how you work Together.

[@MyPink02]

I don’t make KZbin videos but it’s so interesting knowing the behind the scenes ! So cool !!!!! Wish I could but definitely wouldn’t be as successful as some KZbinrs are now in days

[@Desi3A]

One more thing Desi . . Where can we find more Stevens? Lol

[@quinnydior]

Desi Alva if he comes in black i want one 😂😂😂

[@Desi3A]

[@Idontcare095]

Im a film student and these tips are so helpful, affordable, and work just as well. But in the end there are going to be expensive lights or equipment you have to invest in. Thank you for the tips!
