Love this! i spent a large amount of my time when i was younger trying to mend a relationship that needed to be ‘fixed’ individually and internally really. My ex suffered from depression and anxiety and i solely believe breaking it off was the only way through.

At 48, I never quite digested the concept of gifting oneself 'grace in the space' until I started raising (& surviving) teenagers. I've been thru my share of dumpster fires but it wasn't until my children started going thru their own and it was suddenly my job to help them cope with those struggles that I realized the importance of making sure my kids find a way to go thru that pain/battle and not around it. Kackie, your talent and love for make-up brought me to your channel. However, it's your unmatched wit & humor and unwillingness to ever "cover up" mental health/awareness that has earned my utmost respect. Thank you for sharing it.

[@kackie]

Thank you for being here. Something I forgot to articulate in the video is also that things feel more real when I share them here, and it felt like an important stage in my healing. I still have trouble saying ex-boyfriend in public or among friends. I don't want sympathy but I also don't want to bum people out.

[@shearsparkle]

What I feel okay sharing is- Anyone else dealing with grief of loss of love one for any reason or multiple reasons…you aren’t alone

[@makerofwhatever]

Speaking from experience being depressed and losing a depressed loved one, you cannot really help them, only be by their side. You can give them advice, but it is only the persons own realisations that help them get better. And, if they don’t want to be helped, at some point you just gotta step away and leave them be. I am sooo thankful for my family not leaving me as I am and it feels like my duty now to somehow claw my way towards getting better. But many people are not and will never be that way.

[@kackie]

I hear you. I'm glad you found a reason to claw your way out. I've done it many times myself.

[@yaelberger8]

Sending you hugs ❤ Last year was extremely hard on me. We're at war here in my country, which is very taxing in of itself. But also I cut ties with my abusive mother and grieved the fantasy of a loving family I would never have. It's been very painful. But I used that pain to learn and grow, I read a lot of books about toxic parenting and came to know what I've been through and how it effected me even in adulthood, I took care of myself with a lot of help from my therapist and loved ones. My physical and emotional health got significantly better. Although I'm still getting through it, I do have a lot of hope, and that's a lot in my book ❤ Hoping that 2025 would be better to us all

[@eligreene2898]

I think you can still have that loving family you’ve always dreamed of you just have to create it, found family is valid. You don’t have to birth your new family if you don’t want too, you can just find your own people and create your own family. The people who supported you through this, that’s your found family. Those close friends who love and care for you deeply, that’s your found family. Pets are found family. Random coworkers you deeply bonded with through the trauma of capitalism can also be included. DNA is cool but it’s not necessary for family. 🖤🖤 I know in my heart you will have that family, you might already have them.🖤

[@yaelberger8]

@eligreene2898 Thank you so much. I do have my partner, my father and some good friends. But I'm chronically ill so I'm at home most of the time and it's hard to make friends or even stay in close touch with old ones. My grief was about how I always wanted my mom to accept me and how we could do holidays together with my partner family and stuff like that, but it never would have happened bc of who she is. I will never get that unconditional love from her, and it hurts. But yeah of course I have loved ones that I deeply love and cherish. Thank you ❤️

[@kackie]

To be totally transparent, my recent ex is Israeli. The war has been front and center in my life, but far more in his. It has had a huge impact on our relationship, not bad or good, just very present. Sending you so much love. 🎗️

[@kackie]

Thank you so much! Love to you as well!

[@notes_to_elle8664]

Grief is remarkable in that it's the great universal and yet when we experience it we can feel absolutely blindsided as though surely something so all-encompassing and terrible must be new to the universe and how dare the earth keep turning when clearly this moment is all there is. I like to remember and to remind people that we were built for this, built to adapt, and we can have faith in the process. And when we're able to emerge, hopefully we'll be able to recognize that while grief is the price of love, the gift of nature is that, barring disaster, we are never all grieving at once and we all take turns holding space for each other, ensuring that humanity can cope and keep going.

[@intothedermis]

I can't get enough of you 😂 I want to hear everything you have to say! You're so articulate, honest and relatable. Thank you. You've touched on that thing of you're not alone in your darkest moments, there will always be someone else who is feeling the same. This has been a lesson for me which has been incredibly helpful. And without rambling too much, it's partly why vulnerability is so powerful. By being vulnerable allows others to hear, and understand and sometimes share similar stories and feelings thus making you feel less alone. Really powerful stuff ❤

[@kackie]

I was journaling on this this morning and I was like wait...not only does vulnerability and facing your issues head on get easier over time, it ALSO is an incredibly quick way to build genuine self confidence. It has the power to reverse a negative cycle of burnout and turn it into a cycle that's energizing.

[@alyssavanmouwerik3854]

I heard the most wonderful thing about other people's emotions, and as a therapist in training am totally using... but the person said to picture a tennis court with you and the person across the net. If you take on all the responsibility or effort or management of the issue/their feelings/journey, they don't learn and grow because they aren't doing the work. They're just on the other side staying stagnant. And by sending those issues back to them, you can observe their feelings and cultivate EMPATHY for them while they take the power of their process back. Like. Wow. I love that.

[@kackie]

I love that too!! I have a hard time going totally hands off because of so many personality reasons, so I do better to have restraint and patience to give space to process.

[@historygirl82]

In addition to the usual grief from a breakup, in my experience and many others' from what I've heard, the first relationship ending after a divorce is extra difficult. Being able to open up your heart again after a loss like a divorce is really vulnerable and hard and it's important to remember that it's a hopeful sign that you will, indeed, find love again (if that's what you desire). I'm 6 years out from my divorce and have chosen to be single for the past 4 years and into the forseeable future and I'm finding so much joy in my own company that I'm happier than I've ever been. All of that to say, I hope that doesn't come across as dismissive of your feelings but more so a reminder that you have so much to look forward to in the future regardless of whether you're single or partnered and you will get through this!

[@kackie]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@rhondamullins6192]

Thank you for sharing your grief journey , as you process your break up. People need to see you survive these significant ups and downs. We all experience it sooner or later in life, and when we are finally there we feel devastated and sooo alone. I'm 58 and have survived two devastating breakups. What I have learned, is when your heart is finally healed (and I promise it will heal), you feel stronger, smarter and appreciate the small things in life more than you did before the breakup. Do those words help you today? Maybe .. maybe not, but there is tomorrow. Hang in there and keep sharing the good, bad and ugly, so we can support each other! Love you Kackie! ❤️

[@sashagladchenko9380]

I've been watching your channel a while now, and have never commented but this really hits my heart because I went through an incredibly difficult separation with my wife a few years back who, at the time, I'd been with for 7 years. We eventually came back together (I'm very lucky) but it took us 3 years to get through all the pain we caused each other and we are still going through it. I know its not really the same. I was the one with the mental health issues, I developed Bipolar Disorder around that time. I just want to say, you are doing great and it is incredibly hard to lose someone you care about to that point. But please remember, your community and I've really loved your brightness and your insight over these years and you are my favorite person here on youtube. I never miss a video :). P.S. Your reqs literally never miss.

[@kackie]

Thank you for this. This is so important and I'm so glad you shared that not only was there a separation, and a reunion, but also that it takes time to work through these things and that's what companionship is. I'm so glad you found that with each other.

[@beaherzberg]

Kackie❤. Thinking of you and sending you love amidst breakups and changes. I’m inspired by your curiosity and ability to just incorporate joy and your passions into your challenging time. Also your nails! That is all. ❤

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

I'm a person who due to my family background, developed in childhood a mostly avoidant attachment style, which I have come a long way in healing through therapy. Because I tend to not allow people in much, when I do, it means the world to me. And sadly, that makes breakups very difficult for me, I kinda just become a sad ghost for some months. Take it one day at a time, and it's ok to be really, really inconsolably sad for moments, you're human. And I like to remember that positive experiences in the past just statistically raises the likelihood that I'll have positive experiences in my future 🙂

[@michelegappmayer4423]

Apologies for a second comment - I posted the first one just because I was so excited to see a video posted from you before I even watched the whole thing. I am so deeply sorry for the grief you're experiencing as a result of your break-up. Please give yourself grace and compassion as your navigating this. I wish I had some meaningful advice, but I have been such a hot mess with my own mental health struggles lately that I am unsure if I would be able to give any meaningful insight. Just know you have a community of people that are fiercely rooting for you and truly wish you nothing but love and happiness in your life. ❤

[@KiraRagged]

I feel you 100% about the breakup. I'm not at all experienced in breaking up with someone when nothing is wrong in the relationship but I had to do that last year with someone I loved a lot. He's an amazing person and in a different life we could have been great together but he has some things in his life that need taken care of that only he can do and he was clearly not ready to deal with them yet. I knew both that I couldn't help him and that trying would wear me down emotionally and make me resent him so I let him go. I'm still sad and I still miss him but my first responsibility is to myself.

[@dpelli]

Thank you for all your videos!! They’re my fav makeup videos on the internet. Super helpful. If releases are slow, I would love to see an updated brushes/tools video 💕

[@cjinpa5713]

Break ups are their own form of grief. Unlike grief where you never really get over and just learn to figure out how to live with it, a break up you learn to live without someone and then eventually you do get over it. I’m sure that may not be very comforting in the stage you’re in but there will be an other, better days and an after.

[@samanthac5428]

Not a romantic relationship, but my best friend of a decade broke up with me several years ago because she didn't have space to take care of me through my mental health struggles/my issues were exacerbating hers and she has truly flourished (i know this cause we're still friends on instagram) since then and I! am also doing much better than I was but it was a long fight through my own stuff to get to where I am

[@AliceAnnRose]

Most of my break-ups were based on the trouble with the other person not deciding to help themselves (denying obvious mental health problems) or deciding to not help themselves (e.g. dropping the medicine and therapy that was helping, because well... it helped, that's enough, right? or admitting addiction and then never doing anything about that). I viewed it again and again as me failing to help them, but it was toxic way of thinking. It's also rooted in the fact that I have a lot of people with some differences in my family (e.g. depression, autism) and I was conditioned to care for them. I love my family, they are amazing, but that upbringing means I am blind to red flags in people when it comes to mental health.

I have also been through a break up that centered on my partners mental health. It was not fun, he essentially refused to get help for his deeply deeply set depression and I decided that I was more valuable than our failing relationship. Silver lining is that the breakup got me back into therapy and I'm doing a lot better now because of therapy. I think you're focusing your energy well, and I hope the rest of the year goes smoothly for you ❤❤❤️

Thank you for being so open about it and sharing what you were ok to share. I caught in your last video that you mentioned you'd been through 2 breakups in 2024 and thought "oh man!

I’m in the middle of moving to a new state after leaving a partner of 7 years due to their mental health. I put in a lot of effort to help and ended up feeling like I lost myself for a few years. It’s difficult to watch someone else go through these things (even as someone who has their own mental health issues). At times I feel guilt, like I’m abandoning them. But ultimately I know there are things they need to take care of on their own when they have the desire to.

My younger son is very attached to the twins and I'm not sure how I'm going to break it to him that they won't be at school with him next year. He's already talking about being in class with them in 2nd grade :( My boys are also autistic and it takes a lot for them to form attachments so yeah, I'm not sure what to expect with this!

Sarah Vrba is SUPER grounding and kind of eschews "pop astrology" and goes for a more heart centered and self-led approach. Chris is a big loud brilliant Gemini. His readings of the sky are helpful, but he's a lot. Helpful? Yes. Does every transit mean you need to purge everything in your life that doesn't serve you all day every day the way he makes it seem? No. 😂

some friends and i were talking on NYE and we all kind of spontaneously shared that even though we’re pretty convinced that 2025 is going to be a “bad” year (some context: we’re canadian), we’re also surprisingly optimistic about how we’re going to weather through it. if anything the past few successive “bad years” have been preparing us and making us close ranks around each other in a way that has me pretty confident that we can see eachother through the next wave of bs the world has planned. i guess that’s my take-away going forward this year. i know there’s much ado about securing our own oxygen mask, but we also live in a system that gets fat and rich off of ensuring we’re scrambling for our own survival, becoming suspicious and wary of one another. despite the conventional wisdom i *do* think it’s important to at least try to share in other’s burdens, even when we feel taxed ourselves, because sometimes we’re inspired to our greatest good when we act in service outside of ourselves. so yeah, my 2025 mantra is: “it’s going to be difficult every day, but it’s going to be ok because we’re going to take care of each other.”❤

My husband and I recently have encountered some big financial challenges and had to move from our first home which was wonderful to a different house that’s not as nice and much smaller. I’ve been struggling with the thoughts of “failure” or “regression”. I just wanted to say l this in case anyone else is feeling a certain way about their life that progress isn’t ever linear. Just because you’re on a downward track in one way, you may be improving in others and it’s still progress nonetheless. We made a decision that will help us with our finances in the long run, and that’s okay that the current situation isn’t the most ideal because I can still make the most of it and be happy in that situation as well

I got back into doing my art and music when my ex and I split up. I bought myself a cello as well. I wanted one for over 10-15 years. He thought it was ridiculous and a waste of money. I played cello in junior high/ middle school through high school. I’m rusty at it but the music is slowly getting back to me. I need to practice building up my finger strength. I’ve thought about taking a class for it to get me acclimated. My main medium is graphite/ color pencils. I have some gouache paints that I’ve been dabbling with. I recently bought the color cubes from Sarah Renae Clark. My current partner is very supportive of my art and music. They don’t see it as a waste of time or my money.

It's so valuable to have a partner who supports us in doing the things that bring us joy. It's such a deeply human thing to create music and create art, to make things that express beauty and feeling and joy.

[@kackie]

My ex-husband was not supportive of my channel in the least. It was like it didn't exist to him.

[@carolliskovice7250]

I already have your lip liner. I just got the lipgloss and love both items.

[@kackie]

That pleases me so much!

An outfit homage to coral reefs: turquoises and white stones for sky and water,; ivory for sand,; plus scrolls of coral. A good place to be as the winds of change blow past.

[@kackie]

Thank you!!!! I love this!

[@Major2829]

Love the YSL! I’m still possibly afraid of those colors on me. Baby pinks/purples and I don’t get along. But that packaging…

[@alimacnole]

Does anyone have a single shadow recommendation for that bottom right shadow in the YSL quad in 100? That taupe is my FAVORITE eyeshadow and I would prefer to not repurchase the quad for that one shade

[@sparklingsia7279]

Beautiful look❤

[@debbiematsumoto2803]

Okay, this is sort of unrelated but I just went straight from this video to the Lisa Eldridge video about her new pinpoint concealer and it was honestly mind-blowing. But obviously I’d rather see an unbiased review, so… how soon are you getting it? Thanks!

[@kackie]

I have three shades and waiting on a fourth I ordered!

[@debbiematsumoto2803]

@@kackieYay! I was counting on that. Can’t wait!

[@debbiematsumoto2803]

Oh, sorry, one more comment. I’ve been married forever so thankfully haven’t experienced that kind of breakup lately. But five years ago I was friend-dumped by a friend of 18 years, and honestly I’m still not okay. Like, I’m sure I get blotchy when I talk about her too. So even though it wasn’t a romantic breakup, it was (is?) still traumatic. So I unfortunately seem to be stuck in a somewhat permanent state of grief with respect to that relationship. I think I’m fine and “better now” and then something happens that reminds me and I realize I’m still not entirely better. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, but at least if you are moving you’ll eventually come out the other side? And hopefully it won’t take you as long as it’s taking me, either. Sorry for the rambling. I love watching your videos. Newish fan but fully invested.

[@kackie]

Okay, so. I hear about "friend breakups" here and there and how traumatizing they can be. I wonder when or if life is going to hand me one of these but I've lost MANY friendships in my life and I'm so easy come easy go about it. I wonder what that says about attachment styles. I am SO not that way in romantic relationships.

[@debbiematsumoto2803]

@@kackieDo you have a lot of friends, though? My guess is yes? That might be the difference. I’ve always been the kind of person who only has a couple of close friends at any given moment. So if I lose one, it’s devastating.

Dr Jart ceramide lotion is so good! I never hear anyone talk about it and it’s way less expensive than luxury skin care.

[@meepmoopmeep1]

I’m BIG TIME feeling the change. I’m pregnant with my first child and I’ll be moving across the country in a few months. All good things, but I’m overwhelmed lol

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

I just moved from buffalo to Houston-as one who has done it., take the smallest amount of stuff you can. It’s not worth it. If you can financially pull it off buy the big stuff when you arrive and feel out your space. I drove a 30’ Penske truck alone bc my husband had to drive our car behind me-for four days. Never again. Ever lol

[@meepmoopmeep1]

@ thank you for your advice! My father in law has a commercial al drivers license so we may recruit him to drive a moving truck. It’s insane how much cheaper it is when you drive your own! We are moving from Atlanta where we have no family to Michigan where we have a lot of family, so luckily we will have help when we arrive! Just hoping we find a house and don’t have to live in my family’s basement 🤣

[@meepmoopmeep1]

@ also, you are such a boss for driving that huge of a truck for that long!! Impressed

[@GlamishMom]

You might want to check out David Kessler I think is his name. He talks about the 6 stages of grief and has a great workbook. Might be helpful! Also I missed the memo about your divorce somehow and I was like is she talking about her husband as a boyfriend? I’m so dense. 😆

Not dense! I'm just a girl on the internet 😂

Every planet is changing signs over I think a 16 month period… or maybe 18 months… getting into astrology recently. Last number I heard re cycles was that we are in the first 300 years of a 25000 yr cycle… something crazy like that. Best to you❤

[@kackie]

Cool, that all sounds super normal and nothing to be alarmed about 😂

[@whippetgood]

I have one of the YSL quads and I traveled with it once and the beautiful glittery shade shattered into 1 million pieces. Are they all that fragile??

[@kackie]

Ooh I'm not sure! I travel with mine. I can't make any promises though.

In 2025, I am getting back into Art also. I've found that when I need to shut off my brain or silence that inner voice telling me where I have failed in my life, if I do Blind Contour Drawing it shuts down all that "chatter" in my brain because I have to concentrate so hard. AND, the other benefit to Blind Contour Drawing is that it's OK that my drawing is kind of wonky when I'm done. Pretty much everyone's BCD drawings look wonky, so I don't berate myself that my results are terrible. (When I do actual sketching, I always end up shaming myself for it not being perfect.) So, hang in there. I think rediscovering art and art history will help you on your way to feeling better. ❤️ 🎨

[@kackie]

I love drawing my own hand. I remove each line from context and deliberately draw it as I see it. It's meditative and usually looks really weird at the end. Hands are so fascinating.

[@nomytheone]

i am totally feeling the shift you’re describing, and it makes me so uncomfortable!!! i have been trying to just let it happen though, it doesn’t seem right to try and resist it, even though i don’t know if anything better is coming.

[@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey]

It is

[@kackie]

Yeah I surrender to it and then I fight it, but I'm realizing that I'm changing too. It felt like I was supposed to just sit still and keep losing things and being okay with it, but I'm learning my capacity for love is so much bigger than I imagined.

[@nrcreine]

This look is so so pretty! You always look great- but maybe it's the combo of your perfect lip and the ysl shadows-- it looks like makeup but barely and just so pretty. I'm sorry to hear about your breakup and the toll it's been exacting on you. Thanks for your brave honesty. As an art math idea for a video, I don't think you've done this yet, but what about if you showed how a person that generally needs high contrast to look their best can do a lower contrast look like the one you just did and not lose themselves.

[@kackie]

I have one called no-makeup makeup for high contrast complexions!

Okay, I 'll bite. I had to leave my husband of 27 years because we were locked in an unhealthy cycle, and it was the only thing I could do to change it. Two people who care for each other can also be unhealthy if neither person can launch reasonable change. We were both spiraling. Me leaving - like an addict leaving familiar geography - has put both of us on much healthier vectors. He's stopped drinking, gone to therapy and is beginning to fix his own bullshit, and I can do what I need to do (I have my own rewilding that needs to come out) without using all my energy to try to save someone who wouldn't admit they were killing them self.

[@kackie]

I've been in a relationship with a heavy drinker. It's so taxing. I'm glad you're both doing better. What a difficult decision to make.

[@tamipie]

@kackie It's a big, huge, giant uncomfortable change, but when it came time... actually, it's a pretty easy decision. Survival. The feeling of relief is like being reborn.

Just because someone is our so-called soul mate, that doesn’t mean that that person will be actively in our life forever. Certainly memories of them will always be with us, but not necessarily the person. We are individuals and we all have our own unique path to walk as we move through life. Sometimes paths will merge and sometimes they will diverge. It’s OK to grieve when our journey separates us from someone, but we need to focus on how the person enriched our life rather than focus on their absence.

Stages of grief but for me, the stages of my cycle - my poor husband will see me eating the cabinets and crying over our dogs sweater and be like “hey so the app says you might be ovulating” 😂😅 poor guy; meanwhile I’m convinced, like you, I’m the first to experience this combination of symptoms ever😂

[@BekaJadexoxo]

lets just say that change is already hitting in the new year, well it started late last year but a death in the family has kind of put everything into motion on both sides of the family. I will be moving across the country again, which I was very against at first, but have accepted now. and in other news I start a new course soon, and I am recovering from my mental & physical breakdown from my last job.

[@kackie]

Wow that's a lot. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't want to spiritually bypass your grief, but it sounds like life is kind of forcing surrender. And it sounds like you're really engaging with that. Sending love.
