[@jenniferbooth5508]

[@khatmabegum2385]

Jennifer Mansky lol u are great

[@khatmabegum2385]

Kandee Johnson lol kisa u I got a ğìřłfřįëñd ok leavtir

[@kandeejohnson]

yes! I had no idea anyone would want to see a video on how I edit! But now since so many people have asked, I think I need to do one! huge hugs

[@laporchatanzale]

The lights look very close to natural light! Loved the video and your bubbly personality, def gonna subscribe! :)

[@kandeejohnson]

oh I'm so glad! I wanted everyone to see what might help them film their videos better too, all the lights and everything is hard to figure out sometimes! xxoo

[@Megalizabeth9]

awesome!! QUESTION: were did you buy the amazing drawers/container thing that holds all your makeup? The clear thing. I love it!!

[@kandeejohnson]

yes! IT was so hard for me to find good lights when I started! I hope it helps everyone!

[@TanaeBriana]

Your voice & the way you speak reallllyyy reminds me of Lolly from Orange Is the New Black lol

[@facesbygemjae4485]

omg yes she does and Ellen

[@RussianwithAnastasia]

oh Kandee, you are such an inspiration! I just love your personality!

[@thedentonduo]

Hi KANDEE! What kind of tripod do you use??? I LOVE THAT ITS PINK

[@starPieyum]

I love how Kandee's tutorials are not only professional, but she always adds some creative, fun twist! And how she's wearing leapord pajamas or comfy pants.

[@carobeniteztv]

Hi Kandee, this is the first time ever I watch you and I must say I'm pretty sure you're an elf or a fairy, or some magical creature, is that so? :) Love from Argentine

[@RebeccaCoco]

When you opened your makeup drawers, oh gosh it's like a kid in a sweet shop! Amazing!

[@britbyars]

i like the lighting in your videos but i still find it a bit too bright and white. maybe its just my computer. but love the video!!! you're so gorgeous :) x

[@Veenav]

Yes I find it a bit too bright but what a great video!

[@madisonmoore2881]

what kind of computer do u have

[@hannahmariahmettlach]

Brittany Byars i have a macbook pro and find it too white

[@TymetheInfamous]

Yes she just needs to turn down the ISO a few notches and it'll be perfect. If anyone is having that problem with their playback that really helps. It makes it look more true to life xoxox

[@kandeejohnson]

I love you so much!!!! huge hugs beautiful! Keep on shining the love in your heart to the world around you!

[@KimantiiJae]

Can u please do a video on how u edit your videos please :)

[@ERETH06]

You are very joyful to see, and humble to show what all goes into making videos. Go girl!

[@ReanellSelina]

Do you use a mic or do you use just the built in one from the camera?

[@lifewithsummer1588]

I think she uses the built one. The mic usually sounds like a over voice on top of the video that they record separately but I think its just the built in one :)

[@laurenspassionx]

This Is still one of my favorite videos of yours. Just the lighting, the decorations,your hair and make up. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and my life. Thank you

[@katyapoloni]

Better way to get in focus is focus the camera on the tripod from where you'll be sitting. Works for me everytime :^)

[@LindseyFox]

that's a really good idea lol!

[@HeartForChihuahuas05]

Wow, didn't know it takes soooo many lights to do a video! Love your windows and the natural light! You are gorgeous Kandee, inside and out! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us! Your hair is looking amazing, absolutely love the color! God Bless you and your family! Sarah

[@CamilleCollazo]

AWESOME SETUP! I love that you use a bear to sit in for you to focus! Thank you for sharing!

[@rifagirl01]

Love your energy!! I find it hard to watch a lot of peoples videos all the way through but your personality makes it easy!

[@madyshae7890]

Kandee I've been watching you from the start :) I still remember your diy anchor necklace video, and the one about the fauxhawk hairstyle! It's amazing to see how far you've come, from garage sale camera Kandee, to busy mum, make up artist, and beauty guru. You are simply fantastic and I hope you're so proud of yourself. I applaud you Ms. Johnson! Xxx love always

[@MelissaViau]

Finaly a youtuber that helps others who want to make videos!!!! I was wondering how to get the perfect lighting and everything!! Thanks a lot Kandee!!! Huge hugs!!!

[@AGuiltyPleasure]

So much effort to make videos. We appreciate it, Kandee!

[@CuteGirlsHairstyles]

Wow, Kandee... I always wondered how you set things up! So cute seeing you use the teddy bear to focus! xoxo

[@JeniferJenkinsBeauty]

You just radiate positive energy. Love that! And thanks for the info! :)

[@meoun1]

I had never heard of you before today, just been going over and over in my head if i should start youtubing, been wrestling w/ the idea for a year..long story short..i stumbled through to your website and read your encouraging words about pushing through it all to find your own happiness and i almost cried...thank you kandee johnson for being you and helping to change my life.....muah (tiffany johnson)

[@Kmaczuba]

You made my day today with your videos! Thank you so much Kandee you always make me smile!

[@BeautyByMrsOutlaw]

This seriously helped sooooooo much! It's so hard to find gurus that show their room/light setup!! Thank you times a billion! x0

[@fenial.2394]

you are like a role model to me.. you changed my life, brought light in my heart.. thank you kandee..

[@devonmoretti]

I am obsessed with you! I love your personality. You are the cutest!

[@jaszviews]

I just fell in love with all of your makeup and storage!!!

[@kandeejohnson]

yes it's the Ikea drawer thing! IT's just not so good when it gets dirty inside! But I love how wide the drawers are!

[@jennyboomboom5959]

I absolutely ADORE your home and especially your room!!! LOVE it so much!!!

[@beautygeek4]

Kandee your videos are so seamless! I uploaded my first youtube video yesterday and filming was WAY harder than I thought it would be. Please tell me it gets easier talking into the camera! You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your lighting setup!

[@AlexGaboury]

So helpful! I LOVE that you use the bear to focus, haha such a clever idea! :)

[@glittergirljmm]

Thanks, Kandee! You're always do upbeat. I really appreciate the tips.

[@TheDreamingMiss]

You brought so much fun to my life and inspiration to smile every day, Kandee :) I just simply love you and I'm so proud to be your subscriber! Thank you.

[@lindseyslifeNstyle]

You're so cute!! Thanks for showing us your lights. I was curious what lights I needed to purchase to make everything so bright and pretty:)

[@jennaheartsyou]

Thank you for linking us to the lights! I'm sure lots of others like myself are looking to start making quality videos and have no clue what lights to use! It's good to be able to see the result of a product instead of just having to read reviews on websites and have no idea where to start!

[@dml4551]

you are the cutest and most entertaining person ever ! how come I have never seen your videos before ?? LOVED IT

[@kandeejohnson]

I've never heard that before! Thank you!

[@jennfarley0502]

This video seriously made me cry.....I have been watching you on youtube since the very very beginning and have wanted to do videos for about a year now and just have not had the nerve or really any idea how to start. I am a photographer and this is the exact camera I am shooting with right now so I feel comfortable with it. Thank you so very much for this video Kandee, you have inspired me to go ahead and give this a shot...why not! You are truly an inspiration and positive influence in so many ways and to so many people! XOXOXO Jen

[@meutod2]

This is awesome Kandee!!! Thank you so very much for all the help, the information, and the inspiration!! Keep doing whatcha do lovie! xoxo Jen

[@fairychiq1]

It's so sweet of you to show your setup for other would-be you tubers. That was also a great trick with the cleaner! Also, what's the cute box hiding the baby wipes? Love!

[@AllyLovesArt]

[@AlwaysRennie]

"You'll be blinded by the light...almost" haha, I just love your personality. You've always been so fun to watch & you never changed a bit since I first started watching you, which is a GOOD thing!

[@TheMagicCrafter]

I am *DYING!* I steal my little sister's huge Black Labrador stuffed-animal to get my camera (affectionately named "Loki," since he does whatever he wants) to focus. So good to know I'm not the only crazy person out there! ;D Thanks for sharing your setup with us. As a slowly growing KZbinr who is looooking to play around with some makeup tutorials in the future, I really enjoyed getting to see how it is that you prep for videos. Also... I *love* your style! So many pastels!! ♥ Thanks again, XOXO- Mermaid Phantom

[@aggsbz]
