Testing Star-Joy Gold Light Skin Tone Pencils

[@deelikestocolor]

Invest in an air fryer! So much can be done with it! Chicken coated in egg put in fryer for 12 mins is amazing! Also, I have developed a love of mustard and and hit sauce for dipping instead of ketchup which is high in salt.

[@barbarawinski2118]

The colors are so beautiful and blend so effortlessly. Can't wait to try them myself 🤩 So happy to here your updates on your husband. He sounds like he's doing extremely well, considering what he's been through.

[@GrannysRebornWorld]

I loved watching you work on her. It was like you were a make-up artist and you were applying her make up. Beautiful.

[@paulavance5096]

Can not wait for the mixed media!! One thing I have learned from you that I noticed these pencils have that my Prisma's and not even Poly's have is the white showing between the wood and the outer color. That's impressive! No white pencil or neons or metallics....yay!! You rock! And as far as the hubs....remember I told you I had a "feeling" the rest of your lives together would be the best? I can't explain how I know....it's a gift from the Creator.❤

[@charvigil]

Glad your hubby is getting better. I'm loving the videos on how these new pencils are laying down. Can't wait to get a set. Love your channel!

[@ilovecoloringhazel4597]

I absolutely enjoyed watch this video and receiving the up-date. Glad your hubby has been allowed a better diet. Myself, I never cook with salt. The salt is always out for us to add on plates. I have an aneurysm, so I gotta be careful! You made me smile, talking about photo shop! See ya next time. 💚

[@habituallearner7680]

I'm so glad your husband is doing so well and that he's near his goal. To me, skin tone pencils are one of if not the most difficult tests for a pencil. I've mostly used Primas so the detailed comparison of colors to use and layering vs blending was very helpful! I must say these pencils look fabulous. You're able to create a very subtle and realistic skin for her. Every video makes these pencils look even better. I can't wait to color with them . Great video!

[@shadowguard3578]

This picture looks like a photo and is the first one that I actually want to buy. Too many grey scale pictures of women aren’t to my taste. The coloring is beautiful. Thank you.

[@Colorfullife2046]

Beautiful I love the pink side but the yellow side looks as if it could go on Indian skin tone, so pretty glad to hear your husband is doing much better.

[@RoyalDiadem62]

Watching every single star joy gold pencil video ! I’ve been stalking your channel waiting for the new videos to keep rolling out haha thank you Lori for all your hard work 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@ColorMyWorld]

I was working on the mixed media picture last night until 3 am. Then I gave up trying to finish it because it looks good and rushing will ruin it. I did this one at the last minute. Now I am hooked on this picture and want to keep going with it.

[@jeanneconnolly8769]

Looks great . Love the skin. Thank you for sharing. Happy your husband is feeling better .

[@themaddtatter6679]

I myself get frustrated over the fact that some brands find it "ok" to lower the portion size to a microscopic scale in order to be allowed to label their products as low sodium, fat, ect... I think it's sneaky and sad that there aren't higher standards or stricter regulations on that kind of thing. Anyways great video and Thankyou for the updates.❤👍

[@felicianerone2213]

Wow , your colouring for skin is beautiful! She looks amazing!

[@corriemcginnis4400]

Eating vegetarian is not as difficult as some might think. I naturally progressively went to vegetarian just out of the not wanting to cook meat and the conveance of not cooking meat. I find I don't even miss it. Especially in dishes like chili or anything with mushrooms. Just add more beans or mushrooms, and you don't even know the meat isn't there.

[@ColorMyWorld]

I can do it with no problem. He is the meat eater.

[@tammygeorge1638]

Yes beautiful book!! One of the best portraits coloring books ive ever seen! She has a new book out!? Ooooo, I'll have to be checking it out!😂🤣😂🤣😁🤭🤭. Yeah I can't wait to try the pencils on doing skin color. You would think with all the colored pencils I do have! I'd have a set I could really say I can do skin coloring with. It's my worse of coloring anything is skin!! Lol. Hopefully I'll be able to do go with the new Gold set!! 😁🤣😂👍❤🥰.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

Lori, this is beautiful. I would love you to do a portrait one on the tan paper to see which colors would work with that paper. A coloring stands out so much more when you color the eyes, the expression comes alive.

[@LisasColoringCorner]

Every time you show these pencils, Lori, the more awesome they look!! Can’t wait for all your expert tips on them. So glad your hubby is doing well. Odd what you were saying about his kidneys - I was born with only one kidney and am technically in Stage 3 also. But, for me, it’s my normal and I’m living just fine with it. Hope he continues to do well. Can’t wait to get my set of these pencils!!

[@CrazyCatLadytimes5]

Beautiful…I’m itching to get my hands on these pencils.

[@gill1625]

GREAT skin tone tutorial!!!

[@AKLInspirations]

Looks like beautiful pencils

[@marydimuro2953]

I can hardly wait to get my sets!

[@MrsDadde]

Love how the picture is turning out. I love doing portraits and I'm always looking for new ways to improv my coloring.

[@catrena5051]

The news about your husband is really wonderful and I'm happy for you and your family. I never was able to get the deli pencils because they were unavailable. I'm excited to get these new pencil so I can start your blending course I did check on Etsy and I only see intermediate blending course. I always like to start at the beginning of the class do you have a beginner's class? If not no worries I'm sure I can handle the intermediate I've been coloring for a while now but I've only been self-taught. I wanted to learn the rules and regulations from the start. Thank you so much Lori you are appreciated.

[@camcab147]

She’s looking fabulous

[@poetspicecolorwrite]

Will you be doing dark skin?

[@ColorMyWorld]

Yes, actually I kept going with this one and I am giving her much darker skin.

[@R_Ur_eyeswideshut1917]

The pencils look to work amazing 💖 beautiful! Glad to hear you can do a much easier food diet. I was just learning about the Mediterranean diet earlier today. It is great for depression and ones mood. 💖 Thank you. Can't wait to get these pencils 💓

[@patriciamoore7414]

You crack me up! 5 minutes into the video, she was already looking more realistic. It would take me days, even with grayscale, to make my page look anywhere near as nice. Faces still make me nervous as I seem to mess them up right near the end 😯 Mediterranean food is delicious! I tried going vegetarian, but I have major withdrawal from not having chicken, fish and dairy. Love my veggies and I will eat as much as possible but gotta have my protein animals! So glad Howie is doing well! You cannot blame yourself for not checking out the salt contents after Howie shopped! Now everyone knows and you will all be more aware. The salad dressing with the quarter teaspoon serving size made me chuckle... this is how companies manage to charge for so called 'healthy eating' Using fillers and preservatives helps them increase profits, but really messes with our bodies. Take care, I'm jealous watching you getting to use these pencils! It's like watching another kid get what I wanted on my birthday! LOL 😂. I have no reason to complain, yet I do *smh* I should be ashamed.....BUT I'M NOT!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!

[@sweetp1015]

Please come back and show doing the hair. Thanks for showing the skin tones. So happy your husband is home. That is great news.

[@RealMelodyBlue]

Beautiful!!!!!! Love 💕 it!!!! I can not wait to get these pencils!! I need your permission to go mixed media, LoL 😂😆 Good to hear the update on your hubby! Can he have pickles now? LoL 😂😆

[@maryjanelenert2849]

Received my Star-Joy pencils, yeah! However, while swatching I found I have two coffee cream - no palomino. Also, two spearmint and no misty morning. Not sure who to contact about getting the two I am missing. I believe I have one of the 1st 100, numbered right to left. Thanks

[@nancymensch1087]

You should try Linda McCartney’s new cookbook. Paul and her daughters redid the cookbook for more modern times. I’m not vegetarian but would like to get that (after I get your pencils of course!) book to try some meat free meals.

[@cyndih4720]

I'm vegan and found the Oh She Glows cookbooks to be very tasty. The author is Angela Liddon. The Oh She Glows For Dinner book has a lot of comfort foods made healthier. 😊

[@lyn5134]

Beautiful colouring… will these pencils be available to buy in the uk? Thanks 😊

[@brendasnider7130]

Geez how Amazing are these pencils. Omg the colors are so beautiful. You make it look so easy for skin I have always struggled with it. I love grayscale though but I still struggled with doing it. This looks like an Amazing book. If you didn't put it in the description for where to find it could you please. I definitely like to save up and get it. I need to start practicing more on coloring faces. Thanks if you could give me the name of the book and the Artist please. Thanks so much ❤️ Lori you don't have to worry if it's too overwhelming please don't worry about posting a video if it's not going well at home. I know from experience with both my parents and my ex husband and my mother in law (ex) I cared for all of them 24/7 for days at a time I cared for my Mom for a year she lived with me she was bedridden had fluid on her brain she didn't know what anything was just knew me and my kids and her grandkids. It was a form of dementia. My Dad had diabetes he then went into renal failure he was on dialysis for 5 years before he had a heart attack during dialysis he then was in the hospital they called said he wasn't able to stay in the bed they didn't want to tie him down they were short staffed they asked if I could stay the night with him. My Mom and I went up we were asleep it was 2:30 a.m. he had another heart attack they rushed us out of the room and started CPR on him they got him intubated and he went to ICU they had him on the ventilator for about 3 months they said his organs completely wasn't working only thing keeping him alive was the ventilator. I agreed he wouldn't want to live like that so they shut off the ventilator. He was 62. Mom was 81. So it's not easy. You are a strong lady. Thank you Lori for all you do for us. ❤🙏

We are eating gluten-free again. Trying to find out why I’m getting migraines. My kidneys are at stage 3, but they don’t seem to be worried about them. I had Scarlet Fever as a kid, and are finding different health issues. This picture is beautiful! I cannot wait for the new pencils!!

My mom and I are on the Mediterranean diet/lifestyle. I am on in because of my autonomic nervous system disorder and my mom is on in because my mom is prediabetic. Pinterest is your friend! I love the Americas test kitchen cookbook as a intro into this cooking way of life, it was a research info book and recipe book all in one.

[@oliviarinaldi5963]

Really enjoyed this vid. I want to learn more about skin tones, especially with the new set as I plan on getting one as soon as they're up for sale. Lori, have you tried lemon as a salt substitute? I use it a lot, as well as lemon pepper.

[@ColorMyWorld]

That's how I have been replacing the salt. We use lemon.

[@erinduckworth6367]

Just got my set today and finished switching them out. My biggest curiosity is how to use the color correction shade properly. I have binge watched your channel and the star joy gold channel trying to find more info. If I'm missing it please let me know!

That kidney diet is brutal. My dad had kidney failure and his doctor had him on it for years. He died of something not related to his kidneys at 89. I only have one good kidney, so can totally relate. So glad your husband is doing well.

I am in stage 3B and the renal diet is tasteless without spices. Learning to like garlic somehow. Happy you don’t have to follow the renal diet.

Hi, Lori….what do you recommend for a good black pencil? Will Prismacolor fit the bill or do you have other preferences?

[@ColorMyWorld]

I found working with my pencil set the best is prismacolor but I also like Derwent Ivory Black.

i am a HUGE fan of hers . I have so many of her things its ridiculous lol

I just looked it says that the Star Joy Gold are no longer in stock they don't know if they will ever be available again is that true they are all gone already? I was hoping maybe in November I might have enough time to try and see if there was anyway I could possibly get them in December just hate if I have already missed out on them 😕 😐 😥 I don't know if I can or not but I'm sure wanting them if I can figure out how to pay for them. I wish I had enough money to just order them when they first were available 😪 😔. If you could let me know if they are completely gone already I would appreciate it. Sorry to bug you about it. That's how badly I want to get them have a big set would be so wonderful.

[@aliciabushman7806]

Hi Lori .I have been a vegetarian since childhood. It was because I was raised by grandparents who had experienced the Holocaust as children. My grandmother had vowed that life was too precious to her to eat other living beings. Therefore, except for eggs we don't. My husband came from a family with a long history of cardiac disease. So he has been going along with it. It really is a lovely way to eat but taking a good B vitamin complex is vital. Of course you know that. If you have any questions that I can help with let me know. Also there is a magazine called vegetarian times that can be a big help. So glad your husband is progressing well.

[@ladyseshiiria]

Dang that is a lot of weight loss. 😬 I hope he will be feeling better soon.
