GET READY WITH ME // Thoughts on PR HAULS, Youtube Managers, How Youtube has Changed

[@Gardnertino]

The reason I watch you is because you don’t do glam. Everyday, easy, accessible makeup.

[@MichiganLinds111]

Gardnertino amen!!

[@midwestbadger2503]

Completely agree. I also feel like I enjoy her because I know she will stay true to herself and won't change as her channel grows like majority of other youtubers.

[@nataliekassir578]

KZbin is like my tv... I FELT THAT 😂

[@taraball1030]

YESSSS!!! lol

[@jasminmejia4689]

Natalie Kassir me too!☺️

[@beautyfab8047]

For sure, haha ✨😃💫🎥💐

[@ellenwhitehorn6042]

Midwest and/or rural people watch KZbin too and I love that you are not from LA/NY/somewhere else “glam” haha

[@tiaastrain6746]

Ellen Whitehorn yess so true! I’m from a small “hick town” in AZ, so I find myself relating better to KZbinrs who aren’t from the more “glam” cities!!

[@sydneylittle9822]

Im from LA and even though I dont really feel like I am that personally similar to Jess, I still watch her over Glam/LA youtubers!

[@MDNELLEY]

Jessica, let your parents know that Costco has special shopping hours for people over 60 years old. Just call your local warehouse to ask what days/hours they are. ✌🏼😷

[@AshleyLamora]

They do here too at all the grocery stores

[@Eblanchard85]

Our dollar general and local groceries store (giant eagle) are doing this too

[@beautyfab8047]

Very nice to know! Thanks ✨🙂

Yeh at 6 am when nobody can get up dressed etc let alone drive to store in the dark

[@shanelwhitley1734]

I just have to say I never comment on KZbin but you are legit the only person I consistently watch on here! Unless I’m searching for something specific. You are my tv haha. I just love how personable you are

[@AshleyLamora]

KZbin is my tv. I have watched every video jess has ever done. Not sure if you are interested in some smaller youtubers but I really like morgan turner and tara Lynn. I have a channel but it's so tiny lol compared to everyone else these days. I really love doing it though it really helps with anxiety and depression

[@ameliasandoval8663]

EmilyNoel83 also! Jess has been a fan of hers as well for forever

[@brandikennedy3405]

I think KZbinrs are getting a lot more personable. We know more about them as people... I think it’s a good thing and something to be cautious of.

[@AshleyLamora]

I think certain ones are. Jess for sure is. Ypu should watch morgan Turner and tara Lynn. I have a tiny KZbin channel that I love I do it to alleviate my anxiety, depression and loneliness. My subscribers are legitimately my only friends. I love watching KZbin it is my TV

[@brandikennedy3405]

Ashley Lamora I love both of them!! Thanks for the recommendations though!

[@karlaherdrich3014]

Video idea if you might be interested: how about your favorite comfy clothes, work from home outfits that are cozy, but don’t make you feel gross?

[@myhauntingromance]

I miss like “what’s in my bag” videos lol. I think it was one of the first videos I ever watched-like back to school, what’s in my purse/backpack, organize/study videos. And a Michelle Phan makeup tutorial I honestly have no idea what the first video was that I saw of yours. Or how I ended up into my regular KZbin watching like 3-4 years ago

[@beautyfab8047]

Michelle Phan is one of the first youtubers I started watching ✨👍🏼🙂🌸

[@tintabsimsx7039]

What’s in my bag videos are still my fave! Especially Jessicas old bag declutter video ❤️

[@jitterbugsyd]

Jess, as a performer I'd be so fascinated to know what you would do as "theater neutral" stage makeup, with all the makeup knowledge you have now! I started watching beauty KZbin to get reviews on products I wear for shows. Love watching you! 🌺

[@skylarchip7397]

Hi! I'm in college as an acting major! I'm a freshman this year. I'd be curious to know what city you're based in and how you survive as a professional!

You girls made me remember my high school years... I was a theater girl... haha ✨🙂💐💫

[@MariaPia2131]

@@skylarchip7397 she only do youtube videos now

[@Patti-1962]

I have been with you for a long time, and I remember everyone having their lipstick collections, mostly Mac, displayed. It is interesting that now the channels I watch are much more like yours, Jessica. Not so concerned with all the "new" launches and continuing to collect more and more makeup. I am more of a minimalist, and all I could think about is all that makeup going bad in those Alex drawers. I am thrilled with the changes you have made to your channel!

[@beautyfab8047]

Yes, I like using the makeup I buy... haha, you can’t keep up with new products (at least I can’t)... haha ✨💐💫👍🏼

[@Patti-1962]

@@beautyfab8047 No kidding.... it's insane and overwhelming. I like foundations, so part of me wants to try them all. Thank goodness my brain takes over and says, "NO"!

[@drsallymanderchoi]

I see a lot of people complain about how youtube is the way it is now so it is refreshing/different to hear that you like how it is now. It bodes well for many of us who started just this year or last year

[@Allison-jj1vq]

Everyone is doing a dialed back “Jessica “ look now. You are a trendsetter.

[@liuwanzhu4227]

One thing that I respect you a lot is you always have a solid opinion on product that you test on. That’s why even I browse through tons of videos, your videos are always the ones that I would sit down and really watch. Instead of having it play as a background noise when I’m doing chores.I can’t stand KZbinrs say “I don’t know” about a product in their videos. And that tend to happen to a lot of KZbinrs who try to call themselves “reviewer”. It irritates me when I spend my time watching their video and get a whole bunch of “i don’t know, I don’t remember”

[@candice_lynn412]

I love that you do everyday, wearable looks. The average person isn’t doing smokey eyes with lashes every day. Thanks for being you! I love all of your content.

[@TheTumbleweed61]

I love your videos. You’re very relatable and down to earth. My biggest complaint about “Beauty Gurus” is that they seem almost self entitled. They want to rub your nose in the fact that they have 200 eyeshadow palettes and 100 highlighters. When they declutter they only get rid of drugstore stuff and make sure they hold on to every high end product and then claim they’ve done a good job. I love the fact you’ve gotten off of PR lists. Most you-tubers won’t do that. I mean you only have one face after all.

[@kaitlinpb9371]

Fun fact about the Stila blush- every compact is the color of the blush inside, so it’s easy to access in your purse and you know what color you’re grabbing.

[@cristinaarguello9246]

I’ve watched KZbin since like 2012-2013... I was 12-13 and I’m 20 now... It’s crazy to see how much everything has changed

[@PatMcFadyenGrowingGradeByGrade]

What a great idea to film in your old bedroom! I started watching you then!

[@AshleyLamora]

Same!

[@lilpeachplease]

you have been feeling so nostalgic lately!! im loving it

[@itsjessicabraun]

I know 😭😭

[@OrangevayaMysh]

I've been watching beautube for 3 years probably and a lot of people moved to minimalism which is super good for me personally. I didn't have much time to be influenced to want huge collections and get everything new. I'm pretty sceptical about buying new stuff and am actually using things up now, and the panning community really made me shake off the desire to hang on to things. Now panning something is an achievement not a panic of running out

[@arushikothari5263]

So happy to see more of you this week Jess! Thank you so much

[@katierose8529]

One of the biggest changes I've seen is people tend to be more upfront on how the got the product and if it's a sponsor. And many channel's (at least the ones I follow) are doing more vlogs and lifestyle type content.

[@jenbeau13]

Jess people watch you because they relate to you; the “average” (I shouldn’t even say that bc what does that even mean?) woman doesn’t do lashes and bold eye looks on the daily. I’m glad you’ve found your groove and are comfortable being YOU instead of someone you may think others want to see. You’re one of 3 channels I watch regularly, because you’re trustworthy, honest and real- and I think that’s what women want!! Also, Stila’s convertible color in Lillium is the BEST, I’ve gone through at least 5 and have a backup, it’s beautiful, you should check it out! Much love!!

[@daniellemiranda6672]

Yes! do the Hilary duff video. I watched it yesterday. please:)

[@lorileenew1211]

Canmake can be purchased on YesStyle.

[@Skyekendrick]

I found your channel a couple of months ago and I have literally been binge watching them! It's so refreshing to see how real you are. I love not only seeing you do your makeup, but just listening to you talk or seeing your adorable family in vlogs ❤

[@ptingthepiecestogether2940]

I found you several years ago because I was seeking someone down to earth, who used affordable makeup, and did neutral every day looks. I am a 42 year old mother of 2 living in a very small town in Alabama. I tried doing the more bold looks. I looked crazy and I certainly wasn't comfortable. Jessica, you were exactly what I was looking for and I have learned so much from you over the years. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Thank you for being real. Thank you for staying you.

[@luxetolowkey]

Thank you thank you for keeping these videos coming! I over read news media yesterday and was not enjoying the anxiety. Oops. Your adorable family’s Disney travel vlogs totally helped me calm down enough to actually allow myself to go to bed lol!

[@jenniferboen3299]

What I really enjoy about your channel is that you are you. Authenticity is so important! You are comfortable in your skin and it shows. Kudos to you!

[@heathermelissa.81]

JESS- What Foundation Do you like better? *Wet n Wild Dewy photofocus Foundation OR *Covergirl+Olay Simply Ageless What's the Difference between the 2? Whats your all time Favorite Foundation?? U use to wear the Covergirl one all the time & now U wear the New Wet n Wild . So I wanted Your Opinion.

I’m a viewer from the very beginning and I have to say that while you have grown, changed, and added to your family...Tyler & Gigi, you have remained one of my favorite KZbin channels. I love your channel, Emily Noel, AprilJustin TV and several others but you three are the first I go see. Thanks for the normalcy of a video to watch. Loved seeing you in your old room!

Fun watching you in the old room. Thank you for showing the products in the corner. I totally agree with you about PR and the changes on KZbin.

[@SkyNessa321]

Your video topics have been very nostalgic lately. It’s so fun to watch you reminisce and fangirl over fond beauty KZbin memories 😊

[@Janelle_xo]

I started watching you in 2014, I think the first video I ever watched was some sort of Ipsy Unbagging, and I instantly felt connected to you because you are so real and genuine, and at a time where KZbinrs were doing unrealistic glam, heightened fame, etc, I felt really insecure, I knew back then that that was toxic, and I’m glad I found you, and I’ve been following your channel ever since! It’s actually surreal to have watched you grow, get engaged, married, have Gigi, it’s like I know you but I don’t? Lol! Anyways, all this just to say thank you for all you do and for allowing us a glimpse into your life and for keeping it real all these years! Sending you love from Toronto Canada!

[@miareichert5964]

i’m so with you on how youtube’s changed. the only thing i miss is less in person collabs and the feeling of community/friendships but i think it comes from way more people on the platform, so of course gonna be spread all over the globe and not just in cities like London/LA. doesn’t mean that creators aren’t friends but it was such a fun time of video to see, at least for me

[@rachelenk-evans9727]

Very much look forward to your vids especially after watching your live stream. So needed to see a youtuber that's isnt panic buying or showing off the ridiculous amount of food they have. Love you and your family. Love from over the pond in the uk x

[@ckendall9955]

I really like this video and your re - trying old makeup video! The makeup market is so huge and sometimes overwhelming to me today. I started wearing makeup in the ‘70’s and it was very basic back then. Our hands and the brushes and sponge tip applicators were our only tools to apply makeup. Ask your mom! It’s a totally different world! I enjoy learning new things, but it is easy to sucked into buying too many products. Also, I get aggravated that companies put out great new products and then discontinue them before they have even had a chance for everyone to try them! That is my biggest pet peeve! You’re doing a great job with your channel. I know it takes a lot of work to put your videos together. I appreciate them. Tfs

[@lionessblack]

I started watching your videos when you did the collab with Taylor Wynn, and I'm so glad I did. Your whole presence is so calming and laid back. It's like I can feel my blood pressure lowering while I watch your videos. I'm really just happy to be here.

Just to put it out there, you were the first youtuber i ever subbed to. You were the first youtuber to comment back to me. I sent you something to you i think, and you mentioned it and showed it, i felt so special. Its always stuck with me. I will always be a loyal subbie and i rarely comment but i wanted to share that with you.

I need to try that Stila cream blush, I just bought 3 NudeStix blushes 2 bronzers and the foundation and I'm obsessed with all the cream face products and "natural" foundation lately!! I also ordered all the Milk makeup products besides the foundation and I'm bout to order it. You have literally changed my taste in makeup in just the last two weeks, I'm 34 and needed to make the change to cream products and thinner foundations. It was so cool to see you film in your old room! I'm always excited to see your next videos you keep things light and fresh and we need this right now.

[@NatalieYTFoster]

I had to pause and go and watch your first video again. You can tell that you have matured but I love that you are still goofy in your videos. I also love that you don’t change for anyone and wear your makeup for you.

[@ElizabethLopez-ve6lq]

I love watching your channel because you are so down to earth. You know what you like, you know who you are and you won’t deviate. I also believe that most KZbinrs will change according to the changes that go on in their life. You mentioned Madison Miller, I also love watching her. She was a “Barbie doll” until she had her daughter. She had the perfect hair, makeup and nails. Now her makeup fits her lifestyle. She cooks, cleans and has a toddler running around the house. She still looks gorgeous, but she doesn’t have time for eyeshadow and goes more towards a more natural look. I believe that’s how you can tell who is real and who is not.

[@hollywebster6844]

I'm so grateful that you don't speak as quickly as you did a couple of years ago. I'm also happy that people complaining about your neutral makeup doesn't seem to hurt your feelings as much. Like you said, there are plenty of other channels that feature glam makeup. I really appreciate your esthetic. I watch you, in part, to find out how cream products and neutral face colors wear. Authenticity will stand the test of time, so keep being true to yourself.

[@alliepen]

I love how your parents decorated your old room! Beautiful paint choice!

[@MsSportychic11]

To me the biggest change is the length of videos! I remember when Tiffany D did one of her first 30min videos I was like oh hold up I can’t spend 30min watching this even though I was watching like 2 hrs worth of content already lol but now the length of videos don’t bother me as long as the content is enjoyable. If the video only needs to be 5min make it five min. If it’s a video like this the more the merrier. KZbinrs are also super polarized now either they are the most down to earth people or they’re they are the most artificial person ever. Before I think people were just following the trend and one big blob rather than individuals. Anyone else agree?

[@sandrafinney9925]

[@aliciamichael939]

Yes! Those Stila lip glaze click pens were so popular! I had a couple when they were so coveted but so messy to use! I personally don’t like their new direction of discounting popular products in their line up and replacing them with their new offerings. Their new eyeshadow palettes aren’t anywhere near as good as their older ones. Their convertible colours are the bomb, they better not discontinue them! For a glowy look I take a stippling brush dip it in the cream blush and some liquid highlighter and it’s a 👌 glow
