"See yourself the way Jonathan Van Ness would see you". Those are words to live by.

[@mo_nicole]

THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER JVN is one of the only other people who can make me feel as good about myself as kackie can, and they are getting me to the point where I don’t need ANYONE else to help me feel better about myself. 🥰 this is not easy to do in 2021

Omg!, right? I use Arthur Weasley- but same concept.

[@ritahertzberg5762]

I am 71 years old and it has taken me a long lifetime to love “the version of [me] that is right now.” You are not only beautiful, inside and out, but have found the wisdom that I wish I had found at your age. Please consider writing a book. Your message needs to be shared in a tactile way...wisdom women of all ages can hold in the hearts and hands. Thank you for shining your lovely light in this world!

[@signcancer623]

Omg! This comment though🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@AmandaBabyyyyy]

Dude. I was thinking it just before you said it: you have to show yourself the same grace you extend to others. It’s life-changing.

[@Luv4all9008]

Exactly what I needed today. Your words about loving yourself, and wasting your twenties hating your body really resonated with me. When I look at pictures from 5 years ago, when I hated my body, I notice how beautiful I looked, but also remember that I was unhappy with the way I looked then. Loving myself in the present is still a work in progress. ❤️

[@kackie]

I look back at my "skinniest" self in my 20s and I'm like GOD I was miserable. Isn't that wild? I find that living through that helps me be more gentle with myself now, so it did serve a purpose. ❤️

[@annetteprice]

From someone in their 50s: it’s always a work in progress. And that’s okay.

[@KellyLLedford]

Wow. Kackie really brought the self love feels today. What a great reminder as we head into summer and are bombarded with “try this diet to get your summer body” ads and posts.

I love all of the life/self love lessons sprinkled into these videos. 🥰🥰🥰

Loved everything you had to say about self love and compassion. This video made me hit subscribe!

[@linnealarsson2434]

I'm agree that REASONABLE people won't judge me for my makeup or lack thereof but there is a very small percentage of people that will. And I couldn't care less 😁😇🧠🫀🤷‍♀️ that is not a me problem.

[@glaciergang]

Great mindset!

[@modusoperandi7007]

Hey Kackie. A video I would love to see from you is about how to match the intensity/saturation of products around the face,eyes,lips etc. beyond matching the colours and tones. I love all you colour theory videos!

[@kackie]

oh interesting, so typically i just work something until i like it. most cream formulas will sheer out. then i push the boundaries of intensity. trial and error really.

[@the_real_pennelle593]

🥺 Thank you, Kackie! I lost my teeth a few years ago bc of genetics & loss of my natural hormones due to surgical menopause. I ABSOLUTELY despise the way I look & feel awful about myself due to feeling like ppl are judging me. Thank you for your wisdom. I appreciate this video! 💋

[@kackie]

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. I'm sorry you had to go through that though - that sounds so hard. My heart goes out to you.

[@rianneroo]

Well-thought out video. "See yourself the way that Jonathan van Ness would see you." - Ma'am...yes!

[@Justacup_ofTea]

Honestly really appreciate your pep talks. I love that you don't just focus on the makeup, but the why as to why we are wearing it and readjusting our focus and thought patterns behind it. I watch your videos for the chatty chaotic Kackie, but also the self-love, cheer-squad that you embody, you have a way of making these become so much more than just makeup tutorials. Keep being your awesome self Kackie 💕

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰

[@jessical4226]

The part about loving yourself in real time, and not a future or past version of yourself that you didn't even like at the time....just YES

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Over here just gently crying on a Monday morning after listening to you speak about loving yourself in real time. My Pisces moon ass 😂😂 But for real, thank you for your words of wisdom. That’s exactly what I needed to hear today

If anyone is looking for a drugstore tubing mascara I’ve used and loved no7 stay perfect for $10 at target. As a nurse tubing mascara is a must for long shifts and hot summers!

[@nikolasincorporated]

This is the calmest I’ve ever seen you, kackie! Usually there is some serious Aries energy radiating out of you

[@ginnyburley9552]

I’ve always thought it was strange that women will put on makeup to cover the natural redness on their cheeks and then put really really light blush on (that I frankly can’t even see). To me, “natural” means to start by looking at what your coloring is and working with it. On my face, lots of blush looks right; and some people may just not have colorful faces. And, I must say that this is unequivocally the smartest and best video I’ve ever seen on no makeup-makeup. Excellent!!

[@gardengorl]

I love the sensibility of the looking back on time talk. Loved it!!

[@pinky-zu3qv]

I would say it's healthier to deprioritize beuaty and find self worth even if you're not considered beautiful. Like maybe I'm not beautiful but I have value and appeal all the same.

[@starfish8D]

Your kind words about loving ourselves in the moment really resonated with me, thanks for sharing such an important and positive message. It's always nice to be reminded to be kind to ourselves. You're oh so wonderful!

[@leasmith4890]

Love this kind of video. Super helpful on many different fronts! Thank you!!

[@elabhines5346]

Yes, thank you Kackie, I needed this today.

[@Cwagify]

Love the positive self talk. We all need to remember this, have a little grace with ourselves.

[@AleSchwartzman]

I love love your attitude, your honesty and the way you transmit messages! Looove your Chanel! “By embracing our selves we can see the world in a different perspective”. ❤️

[@betmenen5146]

i love that you’re still wearing eyeshadow. i always see no makeup makeup looks without eyeshadow but because i have small eyes and wear glasses i want them to stand out with eyeshadow :)

[@kackie]

Yes!! Without eyeshadow it really just feels like...no makeup. At all. Lol, on me at least!

[@spookshowbb]

Love the energy of this video I needed this! And wildly unrelated: that kosas sport deo recommendation was a GAME CHANGER.

Really appreciated this video....thank you so much! 😊

[@leslieann4992]

Yessss been wanting this video 😍😍😍

[@bfields8943]

Thank you for this video. This past year, I have really learned to love my skin and have embraced the “no makeup” makeup look. My everyday look is tinted sunscreen, blush, mascara, and a tinted lip oil.

[@KLemonLime]

Absolutely love this video. I've been watching your videos while I try to consider buying the typology skin tint. I am usually really comfortable with my body and spend most of my life going out without makeup. Like you mentioned I want to skin tint to just enhance what I love about myself (I absolutely love skincare and am pretty proud of my skin even though it is far from perfect) and make myself look a bit less tired as I begin to go to work. I have never seen a do's and don'ts video like this, and although I feel like I already took all of these in consideration, it feels very good to be reaffirmed in a world that is so judgmental

[@swedishlina]

I love the message of this video, and I wish that when I was younger I would have appreciated my features more. The one thing I have always struggled with is I am one of those lucky paled skin ladies that goes very tomato red face as soon as I get slightly hot. I am also have the extra bonus of being one of those that get a very sweaty face and scalp, as I get slightly hot. I do suffer from MS and MS suffers are notorious from suffering with constant overheating, I also live in Australia which is way to warm for me. Growing up in Sweden where it is cold enough for me not constantly being tomato red, but having more of the fjord look naturally is so much more suitable. Unfortunately my husband is Australian and not interested in moving to a cold climate, we did move from the subtropics to a more temperate climate but it still gets up to over 30-42c/85-105f for 6 months of the year. It means that I do spend 6-8 months stuck inside in front of the aircon, if it gets over 22c/70f my body suffer from all my MS symptoms are exacerbated. They include pins and needles in my whole left side of my body and my right hand and foot, numbness, hypersensitivity, spasming muscles, severe muscle weakness in all the places I described. I also suffer from cognitive issues, such as brain fog, thoughts being muddled, having problems making decisions on the spot, getting sensory overload, memory issues and so on and they all get worse if I’m hot. The one thing I am able to control is my outside appearance such as dressing nice, doing my hair and makeup, it just gives the illusion that I am still in control of my body instead of the other way around. Stay healthy, safe and sane with lots of love from Australia ❤️😊

[@jessicalenzo4116]

Really enjoyed this, thank you🙏🏼❤️❤️

[@justinacreates4953]

Love yourself in real time. Oh man, that was an excellent little shniblet that I'll be carrying with me from now on. Thank you.

[@mbwhims]

Speaking of tubing mascaras... The maybelline sky high that went viral on tiktok is deff a tubing mascara. Idk why they don't market it that way it why anyone is talking about it. All I keep seeing is how hard it is to remove! It's not hard when you treat it like a tubing formula! It doesn't budge through an oil cleanse!

[@TheClairelikescats]

Yes yes yes I love this so much

[@nausikaaleukolenos]

This video is GOLD.

[@rachelwhite3304]

Wow I came here for makeup tips, but here I am sobbing as you tell us to love ourselves in real time.

[@laurai8746]

Love this video, came for makeup tips got a beautiful way to view myself and the world as usual! You have taught me how to just embrace my acne and acne scars and not worry about full coverage. This video just cements that for me! Thank you 😊

[@kackie]

This warms my heart.

[@SaucerJess]

Love this video 💙

[@becm963]

That is so true about loving yourself in real time. The same holds true for your spouse. I never truly appreciated how handsome my husband was until I was looking back at family pictures from a vacation. We were both in our twenties. I am 47 and my husband is 50. He was HOT and I was quite attractive. We still look good, but oh my.

[@kelly82485]

Love this video! You are so right! I need to focus on what I love about myself and I usually do. I love my petes they are extremely unique and beautiful and I'm not conceited just because I believe my eyes are beautiful. Now I need to learn to love the rest of my face 🤣 also I think you are SO freaking pretty! And I love that you are so similar in makeup style to me! I love very minimal coverage and a nice dewy glowy look!

[@devrasays]

You did it. You convinced me to try blush. I have a couple Cloud Paint shades on order - and I really don’t know what to do with them! I’d love to see a Cream Blush for Dummies video. 🙏🙏🙏

[@ingridbringsvor1861]

I remember you saying that you’re going to do a chantecaille skin products roundup and I just wanted to request swatching your shades next to some other skin tints/foundations. I am quite fair and I really want alabaster to work for me but there aren’t a lot of references on it

My no 1 tip is to put makeup on in natural light! Also, the Honest mascara is really good and does not budge. I don't think it's tubing, but I love it!

[@GretchenMosetter]

Loved your thoughts on loving yourself now and not always wanting a past version of yourself! With that said, what are your thoughts on Botox for "looking younger" ... struggling with this

[@gabbiemartin3091]

Omg. Since you mentioned this the other day I’ve been waiting very impatiently! I am just getting in to no makeup, makeup. I used to be a full beat every day type of person. Then I stopped makeup all together bc I had another baby and just didn’t have time for it anymore. I needed the sleep more than I needed to fix my face everyday. Lol. I still have acne scars and the occasional breakout. But I definitely want to start wearing a little makeup but I need help bc I don’t know any in between. How do you do “light” makeup?? When all you know is cake face!? Ty Kackie!!!

[@mo_nicole]

OK these ideas are not new at all but something about the way you present this information to your audience... from the tone to the word choice it just all resonates so insanely deep with me. I know I’m not crazy because the other day I was playing your video on how to stop picking your face and the psychology behind it...and my boyfriend goes “wow this woman must be one of the best beauty channels on KZbin because this info is what you’ve been needing for awhile” for him to say that is truly insane because he is (really you guys) the smartest most critical thinker I’ve ever met.. and although a lot of it may seem so obvious, again something about the way you make it so simple just CLICKS. So yeah just wanted to share that and thank you AGAIN, I’ll keep thanking you a million times, for going beyond on this channel .....Kackie I would follow you (almost) anywhere. And promise to really stop annoying your comments section haha I’m just so happy I found you this year, thank you for helping me to become a more aware person! It may not seem like it, but the way you serve this information has changed a lot for me, for the better.

damn I truly don't comment on videos that much but I just. couldn't not say it. thank you so much for this video. just casually clicking around on yt and expecting to see another video of tips for improving my technique or "this looks good and this doesn't" but I am so happy to find this gem. this actually made me think a lot about Why I am trying to achieve the "no makeup" makeup look without first... loving myself without makeup. and that I will eventually never get out of the self hatred circle because I will always search for things that are wrong with me, even when my actual goal is embracing myself. even when I opened this video, my intention was to see what II am doing wrong with my makeup! and how I need to fix it! but it gave me something much more precious and appreciated. thank you so much again and sorry for the long ass comment haha. you are such a beautiful human being inside and out, sending love! 💖 💖

So I'm not sure if they still make it but The Balm Instain in the shade...🤔...Pinstripe I believe. I keep going back and forth on decluttering it or not since I'm just not as in to powder blushes anymore but even just seeing it in the pan makes me [stupidly] happy. There's also an Hourglass one...that also comes in a mini (the shade name escapes me right now)... but you get more pigment with The Balm one for sure.

What suggestions do you have for SPF before makeup for combo/oily skin? I have also been on the hunt for a tinted moisturizer/ light coverage foundation that’s quick and easy to apply. I want to try the fenty but it’s out of stock in my shade. The ilia doesn’t seem to be the best for my skin type and it does have a few comedogenic ingredients. But I really want a no fuss complexion product that will work with my skin type and cover my redness but not cake face. And I’ve been struggling with trying to find SPF that will work underneath a primer (I have large pores and acne scars or else I’d just skip primer) and then be able to apply a complexion product on top of the spf and primer layer. I would like a natural finish. Not straight up matte but not super glowy either. Any suggestions/tips would be sooooo appreciated!

[@gabbiemartin3091]

Also, I’m cool toned. Which seems to be hard to find in tinted moisturizer as most of them are warm. ;(

[@natnguyen4052]

Check how Angie from hot and flashy. She tests mineral sunscreens under foundation (not sure about primer). I wear Australian Gold. It's tinted, gives me enough coverage and I just spot conceal. It has a blurring effect and it comes in 3 shades. It's perfect for my oily skin. It's quite heavy so I can't imagine wearing it under primer and foundation, but I think it's lovely on it's own.

[@bfields8943]

I am someone who has oily skin in the t-zone area and I use Bliss Block Star invisible daily sunscreen. It is a tinted mineral sunscreen with SPF 30. And it gives a matted finish. I end up not using any other complexion products on top. You can buy it at Target.

[@gabbiemartin3091]

@@natnguyen4052 thank you! I have tried the Australian gold. I do love it on its own. The only downfall for me is that it separates. :( maybe I need to figure out how to set it so it doesn’t break up. I work inside so I only reapply once throughout the day. Do you set it with powder?

Hey Kackie, I live in a area that does not have a Sephora or an Ulta. I can’t conceive of buying makeup online unless I’ve seen it in person. My daughter has decided that she really wants to get into makeup. Do you have and beginner formulas/products. She’s a very close shade match to you and I don’t really know where to start with her so she doesn’t do all the terrible things that I did ( burnt pencil eyeliner). I’m don’t really wear makeup. We are going into a Large town from are small farm in California. And they have a Sephora. Any recommendations. I would’ve Dm’ed you but I’m not on social media for mental stamina and health reasons.

[@kackie]

hahaha do you have a target or a walmart? even CVS or walgreens. I think for a young girl a tinted moisturizer like the cover girl clean skin milk would be great, the elf hydrating camo concealer is lovely if she's got anything she wants more coverage on, milani makes great blushes and lip glosses, elf has great eyeshadows and brow products, and the hard candy mascara is pretty decent for a drugstore tubing formula. i think you can get the eco products sponges and brushes at target, and those are on amazon with less anxiety about skin matching haha. Good luck!
