REACTING TO MY OLD MAKEUP FAVORITES

[@StateofKait]

I thought I was going to roast my old video, but I ended up feeling so much compassion for my younger self! I think we could all use that :)

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

Have you tried putting cream over powder after you do however you do your blush and stuff normally? The Patrick Ta blush duo is what got people not terrified to put blush over a powder, specifically a powder blush and it gives that skin like, fresh look back to the cheeks while keeping the cream blushes on way longer than if you didn’t do this- for anyone who’s face eats blush throughout the day, or if you get a beautiful blush you love, but it just is a weak blush for staying power. Just the slightest amount tapped out on the cheek over the powder

[@dear_totheheart]

Such a wonderful reminder and such growth and promise too! So nice to see you develop in confidence, perspective, and to see how far you've come. I think this is an excellent idea and concept as a video to revisit often to reconsider products, how they and your opinions of them hold up, and to continually reorient yourself to what best suits you and your goals beyond trends - really love all this and discovering you Kait!

[@StateofKait]

@@dear_totheheart Thank you so much!

[@matildaonvideo]

Oh my god Kait, the shoutout at the end 😭❤ Such a lovely surprise!! I'm so glad you got started. Look at us now! Thank you for always being so encouraging and a great support for me too (and rest in peace BareMinerals Bounce and Blur Blushes, miss you) x

[@StateofKait]

You're the bessssssst! RIP bounce and blur

[@NatalieM.23]

So interesting to see how our tastes change over time! I love that you’re reacting to your past self with kindness instead of criticism.

[@StateofKait]

I thought I was going to cringe but I felt so emotional and proud!

[@shelleyeatz]

You were so soft spoken indeed 🥹🥹 I love how you speak brutal honesty with so much confidence now!

[@StateofKait]

Thank you!

[@makeupeclectic]

I loved that intro, I remember the poll where most people voted it gone,but it's so nostalgic and I love a brief intro jingle.

[@StateofKait]

I love a little jingle too 😂

[@mollyjane01]

This was cute😊. I enjoyed watching, Kait!! ❤ I love how you shouted out Matilda, who helped you and then you offered your help to anyone wanting to start a channel! I’ve always wanted to but don’t know if I have THE TIME. Mad props to all of you who work so hard filming, editing etc.

[@StateofKait]

Thank you so much!!

[@matildaonvideo]

Time is certainly a big factor, but if you can find an hour or two a week for a new hobby, go for it Molly! 😄👏 x

[@jennytovey9178]

I loved this video so much. You are such a kind person!

[@emo333vampire]

this was so sweet. i am in the process of going through a lot of old journals, so it feels akin to that. sending love to our younger selves is such a kind act 💙

[@StateofKait]

I’m working on mothering myself in therapy and this kind of felt like that in real time.

[@elliottfg6005]

Please please please make this a series!!!! I love this, and in terms of an intro, I think it would be so cool if you put in a new song at the start of each video as an intro. You’ve introduced me to so much music and I’m so grateful❤

[@vikjack]

Your makeup looks soooo beautiful in this!!! 🤩

[@StateofKait]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@AnnahRogers-es9mb]

I love seeing how much you’ve grown! I also new that last lip product was going to be the fit glow serums. Your recommendation led me to purchase so many colors! Through the process, I became very much a FitGlow skin girl, too. Thanks for introducing me to such a wonderful brand and so many of my favorite products ❤

[@StateofKait]

Awwww, thank you!

[@holly_cuperus]

This is such a fun video idea. It is crazy to see how our preferences change over time.

You and John (or Jon) are the absolute cutest and sweetest couple! You guys seem perfect for one another❤!

[@StateofKait]

Aww thank you, he's the best

[@carolliskovice7250]

I loved this video and hope that you make it a series. Doing your makeup look like it was done in past years is a terrific idea. Look forward to seeing the first one. I’m old and my first look was peach cheeks, flavored lip stick or white lip stick, blue eyeshadow and blue mascara. Of course I also wore white go go boots, mini skirts and set my hair using orange juice cans. Nothing I would like to revisit at my age.

[@pamorama]

Omg- the color of that Ilia blush!!!!. I’m going to go find it if it’s still around! I have darker hair, eyes and skin than you, but I think it would still be gorgeous.

[@_gracemoore]

Aww I remember watching you back then! The first video of yours I watched was about Kosas shade range and after that one I went back and watched the rest of the videos you had uploaded. Immediately from the first video when I found your channel I knew you had something unique. You were so honest and every time you would upload it truly took precedence over everything else I had going on and I would run to watch it. Truly I would watch you talk about anything because of how thorough and well thought out you are. There has been countless makeup, fragrance, and fashion items that you’ve recommended through the years that I’ve bought and loved based on your recommendation dating all the way back to this video with the Roen palettes. Your fashion videos are truly underrated too you’ve gotten me hooked on the Jenni Kayne cardigans and the Abercrombie jeans and one pieces. Along the way I found out you had EDS too and we’ve both been battling chronic illness which was insane even though it’s a lot more common than originally thought. I try not to have parasocial relationships with people online but I feel very protective over you and I hope that you know that for as many comments you get hating on you, you have hundreds of people here ready to hype you up at any time! I love this blast from the past and would be totally down to see you react to more old videos.

[@StateofKait]

You are so sweet to write all of that! Your comment truly made my week! My therapist says that our brains have a negativity bias so we subconsciously focus on hate, but I make it a practice to internalize the love and really powerful! I'm so grateful for everyone in my little corner of the internet. I wish I could meet you guys in real life.

[@Roktta06]

What a lovely video to watch!!! You really are amazing and talented ! I am so glad you decided to join the KZbin community because you are one of my top favorites !!! ❤

[@six23ist]

I loved your intro song! Sometimes I'll watch an older video and then a more current one, and get so confused when the intro music is suddenly gone lol

[@StateofKait]

I loved the intro music! But it made the intro longer and when I did a poll, the majority of people voted to get rid of it 😭

[@patsyroyal]

I loved that beginning!

[@joanneblakely2498]

Go Kait. I am so glad you did not listen and started your KZbin channel, you are so honest and thorough with your reviews. I never saw your earlier videos and yes you were so shy but now you have built such confidence and you are such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for being you. 😘

[@StateofKait]

Thanks Joanne!

[@larakruse6440]

Omg I can't imagine anyone having anything negative to say to you, that makes me super sad. I think you're very knowledgeable and humble and kind.

[@StateofKait]

You are so sweet, thank you! Just don’t search my name on reddit lol

[@StateofKait]

Love you spoonie!

[@Rue994]

Are you a professional makeup artist, whether self taught or trained? You do the most beautiful makeup on yourself, and your critique, descriptions and sharing of your most loved products is refreshing to hear because so many beauty creators act as though we have this unlimited stream of money that we can just throw our money at every single product ever launched rather than sharing recommendations more as a consumer… because we the normal folks do not get free makeup and skincare sent to us in stock or have this million dollar budget for makeup and skincare per month.

[@StateofKait]

Nope! I’m just a regular person with a corporate job. I just love makeup and I’m very critical 😂 Thank you for the compliment. ❤️

Kait on Baby Kait: I was very soft spoken and very pleasant, so different from how I am now. Me: So you're loud and unpleasant now 😂😂😂 I know what you meant but that gave me a good giggle. Your 2019 favorites actually made me look over my collection and think "oh this probably needs to be thrown away", because I have so many cream products from that year and earlier. I liked the breezy California girl intro song. It'd be a nice outro song to roll credits 🙂

Yes more vids like this please!! I remember watching that video when it first came out; it’s what convinced me to get the roen quad (and yea I still have too). I didn’t realize it’s almost 5 years old though until now 😅

[@StateofKait]

Honestly, my roen quads still perform the same! Not throwing them out until the formula starts changing

[@Hazelnut543]

Your description of the Ilia blush color reminds me of Pat McGrath blush in Fleurtatious. I’m fair and never went for the “beige” blushes. But after trying this it’s my holy grail blush!! Perfect for us fair girlies!!!

[@StateofKait]

Fleurtatious doesn't show up on my skin! So sad! I'm in between fair and light so it completely blended into my skin, but it looks GORG on fair skinned gals.

[@veronicalim1676]

haha the face you made when you started watching your old vid was epic, i think we all do that. i sound like a country lumber jack when i look back at videos i in ( im from one of the part of norway where our dialect sounds like another language, where thick and strong dialect. im adopted from korea so my dialect surpises many). and we all are so aware of ourselfs so its wierd to see ourself. that video is from your 30 years, arent you in your 20ties??. its true its so sad when brands "reinvent" themselfs and it ends up worse than before, so many brands do that, especially the brands you like. you and john are so cute together, i m not meening to be mean but every time i see john i think of ross in friends and joey says "hello mr cotter" , he looks like ross when he has that mustache. how has your day been? hope you are well and safe. i did the way you do your eyeshadow yesterday and it was a new expirience. i liked it. oh man that sound made me sqirm, it sounds like me you have sensory problems, im wierd when i hear loud sounds i get anxiety. and i love touching soft packaging haha. epic the fitglow era was long and so sad they are diffrent. i love that your videos are like old ones, lip product heavy. so sorry for a long comment. hope your day is well and safe and your health is great, wish john and thumper a great and heathy week to

New subscriber here 💜. Thank you for drawing my attention to the fact that the HD skin foundation from Makeup Forever has fragrance.

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

I just found your channel I think and I love watching your videos because your personality is so awesome. You aren’t editing everything out that shows you have a personality for one. When you are a makeup junkie and use up a product, it means you absolutely are obsessed with that product… since we are constantly buying newer products we see marketed like an idiot.😂 But if you are a makeup influencer and get free products all the time and use up a product and would repurchase- THAT this something to share with the world… and then the company will swiftly discontinue their number one selling, HG product.😂 Like is it true Nars is discontinuing Nars Radiant Foundation?

[@RachelleLRBarr]

[@StateofKait]

It's the em cosmetics saturn's return palette!

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

Ahh the Honest beauty viral hype gotcha. The cream blushes are like any other cream blush but more pricey because of the clean claim. Doesn’t last long so take it with you.😂 I love love love mauve brown or deeper brown tone blushes in place of bronzer and to contour with because it looks so natural on the skin vs so many bronzer products that run orange or are straight up brown. The Sun kissing the face never just makes your face and forehead brown (or orange, and please tell me one ethnicity where orange is ever an accurate skin tone. I never understand why so many base products are straight up orange.) There’s always a sun kissed look to it.
