[@alexandrakennedy2000]

Honestly, as a former makeup artist, I get so frustrated trying to explain to my girlfriends that IRL skin CANNOT look instagram perfect. I have had women tell me I’m just watching the “wrong videos”. Regular working class women like me, who truly believe pores can just be erased with foundation! What a ridiculous standard! The reality is, IMHO, real skin is more beautiful anyway. I think the fine lines add character and depth, to women who are working every day as moms, friends, wives, daughters. The trials of life show on our faces and thats wonderful! We should not hide from this fact! Even knowing the poreless look is a big lie, I fall into the trap of comparison. We have to hold each other by continuing to acknowledge this. ❤️

I went to high school in the 2010s and remember telling my boyfriend at the time how I wanted to get all these surgeries and procedures to “fix” and “change” me. In 2018, I had lip filler and hated it. Some of the things I once hated about myself are now features my baby has, and I love them on him. 👶🏻💙 Maybe being a mama has changed all that. Additionally, I had great support in my boyfriend (now husband) who would not only give me compliments, but made me believe in myself more, and helped me to become a better version of myself. 👨‍👩‍👦 P.s. If you haven’t heard this today, from a mama to you: 💞 1. “You’re like, really pretty.” 2. “You is kind, you is smart, you is important.” 3. “You’re doing amazing, sweetie!” 4.

Women actually impose this on women. Women set what's important. Men actually don't care about the hierarchy that women set for themselves. Where as women care a lot about what men set for other men. I.e. athletic, strong, rich men. Women care about makeup, contouring, fashion. But men do not. Men have very low standards when it comes to women. Trust me.... ANY 'mid' can sleep with a hot guy.

As someone who has what's considered great skin with only a bit of dryness during winter, I can tell you that genetics are responsible for 99% of the way your skin looks like. Don't waste money on expensive products, instead save to go to a dermatologist who can actually help you with invasive treatments. Every time ppl ask what I use to have such great skin I say "nothing" , I just wash w water & use moisturiser. Girls w clean skin usually will tell u to buy this or that to have great skin like them, truth is, is only genetics, I forget to even put on moisturiser most days as a busy mom of 2 n my skin is still clean.

Why compare? I don't understand. Every single human being looks sooo different that is the beauty of being human. No two are the same. Of course you're going to find people that are beautiful, but why feel intimidated ? why compare ? Why be jealous ? I'll never understand this. Maybe it's because I absolutely love who I am and have always been very confident, but even if I wasn't who I am I feel like I would never compare myself to anyone. Never once have I thought oh I'm going to compare myself to this person or that person. I'm happy for everyone around me. I'm just obsessed with who I am and I feel like women need to realize that they need to love themselves as well

[@alexforman39]

@@KAYLAKARBAN it’s not something women consciously do, I don’t think ‘oh, today I’m going to compare myself to this person’. That great for you then, and to be honest, the fact you can’t understand it obviously shows how confident you are and that’s great. But I think a lot of people, for a number of reasons don’t feel the same way you do, and as a result unconsciously compare because they probably always have or have been compared to someone by someone else. If you find it fascinating or want to learn more about it, it isn’t rare for people to feel like this.. research it and you’ll see. As I say, great for you to feel that way but your comment in itself compares yourself to people like myself who don’t feel as confident as you, so comparisons happen more often than you’re aware and you clearly compare yourself too but obviously in a more favourable way.

[@laurav.4644]

Funny how in certain cinema animation they try to texturize characters' skin and define expression lines to make them more realistic (and perceived by our brains as ""less weird"") while in real life people try the opposite.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

Awesome. Thanks...

[@zoraidaiglesias934]

Thank you young lady for being truthful.. many young ladies need to hear and see this. You look beautiful.

[@El.Bailey]

Excellent video! Thank you for doing this. I took a pic of myself in a sweatshirt with my glasses on with no filter or makeup and posted it on my socials to show my girls that you're stronger when you accept and love yourself as you are instead of what society thinks you should be. Absolutely no regrets doing it. ❤️

[@artsyesme]

thank you for sharing this content with us! you are seriously amazing for making these types of videos! 💗💗 my acne scars on my face have always been a BIG insecurity of mine.. but i’m done letting that hold me back!!!

My skin is the one thing I've got hangups about. I have acne pit scars, enlarged pores, crows feet and the worst thing, post inflammatory erythema. Seeing perfect skin everywhere makes life hard! Thank you for this xo

Hahaha go look at the normal people in stores none of them have perfect skin..I don't get what y'all be doing with your lives. Do y'all not talk to other humans?

I'm really glad you are addressing this. At the end of the day, we are all just humans with flaws like it or not. You've got a new subscriber!

[@Harley24986]

Texture is one of the main reasons I never wear things like foundation. I feel like they make your skin texture worse.

[@carolinaherrera4598]

Yes I tried around 30 different foundation every single one looked awful now I am planning to take a stick only for spot concealing but only with moisturizer.

Yep, I didnt start wearing makeup until 27 and my skin looks worse despite never having good skin. i just need to stick to spot concealer

Hi Stephanie - My mum has had a series of surgeries over the last 6 months, and the stress unfortunately made me break out so badly. I've been feeling really bad about myself, but this video really changed my perspective on things. Thanks so much for making it.

[@meganclow6959]

Yes thank you!!! 😩😩😩 I struggle with acne so bad and I just turned 30, so over half my life dealing with the insecurity and feeling alone. Thank you for this ✊😔

[@kristabradleymusic]

Even as a fairly confident 36 year old, I swear, so many of your videos are “what I didn’t realize I needed to see”. Well done girl! Love your content. 💕💕👏

[@tammy_vip]

Just when I thought I couldn’t love you anymore you show us your unfiltered, unedited promo pics for your collab. 😭😭😭 you are singlehandedly fighting unrealistic beauty standards and I’m here for it every step of the way 🙌🏻 Thank you for changing my perception. Thank you for inspiring me. Thank you for being you! ❤️❤️

[@juliepeters985]

I just started watching your videos, and you are SUCH a sweetheart! I could care less about the makeup aspect, but your outlook on body positivity is doing SO much for our young girls out there. Keep doing what you’re doing! You rock!

[@autumnhobbit]

I kind of love seeing people's acne. I find it sweet and vulnerable about a person to see their acne, especially if they're younger and clearly have it.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

I am motivated thank you.

[@WintaAssefa]

I agree

[@janebraun4482]

Want to say a big thank you! Wish you were around when I was growing up. I felt any skin flaw counted me out of anything on camera! The 'cover girls' were all flawless don't you know. I had rosacea forever and some permanent texture from it that made me wonder why people said I was very good looking?! These women have expensive facials etc. the best products and still have texture!! I am just starting to experiment with make up base and sooo long going bare and having been criticized for allowing my Rosacea to show. I got dr. help but many made me worse over the years. As we get older harder to control the pores however. I would suggest you 'keep going' on these starts. What about Katy Perry, or seems like Angelina Jolie is pretty flawless, Resse Witherspoon too?!

[@tree.spirit]

Going to watch this while I do my skin care because I deserve a treat 💜

[@stephanielange]

Enjoy you beautiful one!

[@tree.spirit]

@@stephanielange Thank you 😊

[@elwduecentonove6080]

I genuinely think your videos on these topics save lives. I’m 25 and out of most socials; I should know better and yet sometimes I still believe what I see around the internet and get extremely insecure. Then I come around here and… everything seems fine again!

[@Scspencer25]

Once again, thank you!! This made me feel so much better about my skin! I just wish celebrities would post real pictures! Girls and boys look at Instagram and feel bad about themselves, and it breaks my heart.

[@sofs994]

I struggled so much growing up during my 20s which are nearly over, and only now at the age of 29 I got rid completely of this idea of being perfect. I was IG addicted and I wanted to achieve the perfect picture, the perfect pose and perfect skin. I have deleted all my social media and I feel better than ever. Not only I feel like a real girl living in a real world, but i also don’t feel the need anymore to wear make up. Actually, I rarely do and I got used again to my natural normal face which has been breathing. I don’t even use that much skin care anymore. I simply rinse my face with water sometimes a month goes by and I don’t put a single thing on my face besides water . And my skin improved so much. Anyways… I do believe social media was a ramp up to this perception we all have about beauty standards… and it is really dangerous as cosmetic and surgical procedures have escalated soooo much during the past years.

[@pamescasado]

Love it. Just water and sunscreen would be great hah

[@laura_barton]

I absolutely love these videos. As someone that used to struggle so much with my skin, it's so refreshing to see that you're having these kinds of conversations. For me, my struggles were compounded by excoriation (skin-picking) disorder, which has left my skin far from flawless, but that's okay! I think your video will help more people see that skin doesn't exist as a smooth, porcelain surface.

[@changeeyecolor3891]

The design looks so cool...

[@araes8934]

I got positive chills multiple times watching/listening to you in this video!! Your words mean so much, and make a huge difference in how I view myself. Thank you! Videos like this are needed to start busting open unrealistic beauty "standards" and changing expectations of one another.

[@catcalledjessie7539]

Thank you for showing us your natural skin. I always compare my skin (visible pores) with others, unable to find something to 'clear it up'...its nice to see that you are just natural, normal and beautiful 😘

[@sunshynluv3335]

That's incredibly truthful of you Steph! Too good to see someone just say the truth and knock off the "flawless" obsession! 👍💪

[@mariestelsalas1082]

Thank you for showing your skin texture in natural light , that helped me debunk the “but your skin is flawless” myth . I unfortunately actually do know people in real life with gorgeous skin but that’s my problem 😝

[@jules1997]

especially my dermatologist

[@allegriaram8532]

This is the first time I would like to thank YT for the recommendation. I mean... Of course I knew that there's a lot of filters on celeb's pictures but I didn't know that their skin sometimes looks even worse than mine! That just blowed my mind, honestly. Thank you so much for this video. It made me feel better today.

[@maddiejames2510]

Omg this video. I feel like people forget skin has texture it is how skin is, everyone has pores, everyone has bumps and it's normal but obviously since celebrities have seemingly clear and perfect and non textured skin thanks to photoshop and retouching, we beat ourselves up on this. It really isn't something to be ashamed of or be embarrassed about. It's something so normal and we need to learn to embrace it. Thank you so much for this video, I feel like it's something a lot of people need to learn about

[@leighhuggins5030]

Thank you so much Stephanie. I've struggled with hormonal acne since I was 12 years old (30 now), and now that my acne is finally under control, I have scarring and wrinkles to contend with. I can totally relate to looking at a selfie I've taken and not liking the skin texture I see. I've also seriously shied away from wearing makeup because I always find it highlights my skin texture. The only way to have no pores is to project a false image of myself digitally. Real life = texture. Thank you for driving this point home!

[@Leablak]

I always felt like foundation and makeup actually makes your skin look even worse. Because it's so obvious, so it just draws attention!

[@starchild7820]

Yea if u have it all caked up 80% of women really don't know how 2 correctly apply it right ' it suppose 2.leave a thin layer the point is making it look closely natural 2 your skin enhanced

Hi Stephanie, I hadn't seen your palette promo before this video, so I just wanted to say the photos were absolutely gorgeous, and I adore that you're being real with your followers in a 'sales setting'. It's really important, and you're making such a strong difference

[@DBeautybykat]

I been watching you a few years and I rarely ever comment but I LOVE how vocal and aware you are about the issues with “perfection” in social media. I’m a 42 yr old beauty content creator and makeup artist over 20 yrs. After 3 yrs on KZbin I still film on my IPhone 📲 so I don’t have any type of filters (I film lots of Live content). BUT Sometimes I feel pressured to smooth some of my lines on my IG posts because my regular posts seem to barely get any views. The fact that I’m not 20-28yrs old I feel behind in the game, but I do what I love and beauty & laughter is my passion so I stick to it no matter how I look ! 🥰 Love your content always and you’re definitely appreciated for keepin it real baby girl 😎

[@slimshanni1]

I have always been self conscious of my skin texture due to acne, I use to tan inside and in beds ALOT causing melasma on my forehead, and have combination skin which is a pain to treat. I don't use any coverage makeup due to fear of irritation because of my skin issues. It is nice to see that skin texture is something woman with access to all the beauty products/treatments in the world are also unable to achieve what I find myself striving for. In my mid 30's I try to be mature to not let it get me down. I'm learning for my skin less is more and as Stephanie says every woman has skin texture! Nice job finding great comparisons and showing us your own texture which looks amazing in all lighting!👍❤

[@sarahwest5814]

I love your videos; they send a powerful message not only to adults but to younger teens to embrace their own beauty and not attempt to engage in dangerous behaviors to on a quest for "catalog perfection," which we know doesn't exist. I also wanted to say that I appreciate your honesty on this channel in general. I watched your video on your diet change 9 months ago and I wanted to applaud you for coming forward but to know that you have to do whats best for your body. I can't see logically how anyone would be disappointed in you for the change. You do you and forget any negative static from any other direction. You are absolutely fabulous. Thanks for your content; it is both entertaining and informative.

oml tysm for this i have really bad skin problems on my arms back and chest and the problem is, some of it is dry and has rashes, and some is breaking out! i also started high school this year so that makes me even more insecure and ur videos give me so much confidence 🤍🤍

[@stephanielange]

It’s ok girl! When I was in high school my face was COVERED (and I mean covered) in white head pimples. I got bullied for it, but I got through it and now I accept myself as I am and don’t care about these little quirks anymore! High school is rough but you got this, and you’re amazing ❤️🔥

I had horrible acne in my teens, your oily skin will help your aging in the future. Benzoyl peroxide acne wash, oil infused lotions/moisturizers, water and consistently cleaning your skin will do wonders! It’ll get better 💜

[@followtheredhat]

Brilliant video as always! I have traditionally "bad" skin that has been with me since puberty and now in my 30s I'm beginning to get some fine lines. Often I don't love my skin but I would rather look human and most importantly have expression in my face than look like a doll.
