Updated Foundation, Contouring & Highlighting Routine | Hyperpigmentation & Acne Prone Skin

[@JennieJenkins]

For those who have completely misunderstood the beginning of this video..this is what i said as it was not to offend anyone....stressing about skin issues or any problems for that matter doesn't solve anything...stress is also listed as a cause of acne of which i do a lot. Sometimes we have to accept the way things are, that things may not always work out straight away but having a positive mindset is a good start and that way you are in a better position to find ways to fix the issue..if its a quick fix. i then went on to say in the meantime there are temporary ways for example makeup..which is not new news..you have the choice to enhance your features OR beat it IF YOU WANT TO because who am i or anyone else to tell you what to do with your face? If i was doing this video on a model the routine would've been different to fit their face/skin type. I also do not tell you to copy my routine. If my face was the same shade as the rest of my body but still had the blemishes I don't think some of you would complain this much. i then said wearing makeup and i meant a FULL face i.e highlight & contour the lot to look like yourself without makeup is a waste of time because it isn't possible...there is still a difference even with an enhanced version of yourself i mean thats why you've put it on in the first place (this was in reference to a previous vid when i said ppl go oh you look different without makeup and i'm like well duh lol) I DID NOT SAY wanting to look 'natural' with makeup is a waste of time. It upsets me when my words are misused. Why must there be drama? Some people are blessed with great skin and the ability to achieve what they want with less effort...there are youtubers on here who 'beat their face to submission' in most videos but still have amazing skin underneath. its annoying when you try to compare because not everything will work for everyone and in the same time frame. This is common sense. Yes makeup does play a part in how your skin looks whether you just wear powder or a full face that is why daily maintenance is necessary..even for those with good skin. There are a number of other reasons for bad skin...eating habits, lack of water, not being consistent with skincare, lifestyle etc. I was not born with acne (though its genetic from my dad) or hyperpigmentation..you can google their causes. They did just not derive from wearing 'a lot of makeup'. You choosing not to do something is the same way i've chosen to do the opposite. Why must i conform to your standards, your ideals and what you think is right and when i don't i'm in the wrong or being defensive? Why must this continue to be an issue...never have i and will i belittle someone for not having good skin the same way some of you on here and praising yourselves for your acne free skin "well i only have to wear just eyeliner or just foundation"...but why are you not posting makeup tutorials with a HD camera though? Some of you won't be caught with your face on here for the world to see. i only mention my skin issues as a disclaimer and so others can know they are not alone and that i am actually human and for people who are new to my channel and haven't seen previous videos. i share my tips with you and will be more than happy to talk on skincare but i am not an expert until i figure it out myself. so for now i talk about what i know for those who are interested which is makeup and fashion. You ask for a video and i upload it but what's the point especially when you know what's coming...my routine isn't new as you see me do the same thing in my tutorials. Why must i get a different treatment to my other fellow youtubers who do the same things who i've picked up my skills and tricks from over the years. I'm glad for the majority who see the positives like the improvement my skin has made and I would like to filter out the people who bring the negativity and drainage so that i can focus on those who are here to gain something. I also thank those who have nothing but support to give and recommend products and tips not backhanded 'advice'. I wouldn't recommend you continue watchIng my videos if it offends you as i will continue to beat my face until i'm grey and old..I think i'm loving the word now BEAT BEAT BEAT lol

[@islegirl5048]

Please ignore some of these fools JJ. Keep it movin, do you, and leave the haters behind hun!

[@ZaneleMondi]

Ignore the haters girl. beautybyjj

[@simplykemz3369]

I don't feel you need to justify yourself to anyone, nothing you said in the video was wrong. Even if you told someone to jump of a cliff its not by force, everyone as an individual has their own mindset and free will to press play of your videos, I had no idea there was this much negativity on KZbin. Keep doing you and never apologise for being someone's inspiration

[@Jamaican_queen25]

Wow. I don't usually read this much on youtube but I did. Don't even address them because those same people will continue on in their foolishness. Keep doing your thing :)

[@besmart78]

christina f ,loooks like the type to just talk and not think.you have more subscribers and your much better than her

[@TheResetWithEmi]

So proud of you JJ! And honestly, your skin looks great to me. At some point, most of us have a blemish here or there but some people don't have to sit in front of a camera all the time with over a million people watching them. I just wish these people who comment about KZbinrs and their appearance or skin would whip out that HD camera and bright studio lighting and sit in front of that bare all the time. Some people have porcelain skin and some people don't. Life fact. The end. At the end of the day, we all wear some kind of makeup and it DOES make a difference. I am so glad you did this video because I feel like you just totally rose above negativity and the stupid perfection box people try to stuff others in when they are not anything close to being perfect either. You find that those who are indeed "perfect" and satisfied with themselves almost never bother with where others are at, what they are doing or "what they look like without makeup". You are an amazing artist and a beautiful woman who's grown so much on here. I like the new JJ. No worries, no boxes, just living! :). You are headed for great things!

[@HistoryHighwithLisaMarrie]

I sat down to do a hair tutorial with *no makeup on when I saw my HD face I said no way is THAT going on KZbin and I am not a young girl, LOL. Nice look!

[@TheResetWithEmi]

Lmao! Thanks for your sense of humor! And I like that you said HD face lol. Cos it's a whole other ball game from camera phone face lol. It's like that with me too a lot. I suddenly feel too bold, then I see the footage and I'm like nahhh not so fast lol.I remember watching your videos a lot when I decided to go natural. Thanks for your videos :)

[@JennieJenkins]

thelmarrie my camera is sooo unforgiving you don't even understand lol

[@2write2sing2dance]

AMEN!

[@HistoryHighwithLisaMarrie]

***** LOL I had to edit I meant with NO makeup on LOL. Thanks for watching my videos that means a lot!

[@peakmill]

so gorgeous!

[@tigresacanela25]

Hey, I know this is an old video, but as someone who suffers rom hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, I want to thank you for your videos. It took forever for me to find someone with not only similar skin, but also roughly the same complexion. Your conceal, correct and contour routine has helped me to feel confident again while I try to return my skin (gently) to its pre-hyperpigmentation (and also pre makeup for the naysayers) state. I don't think people realize what it's like or how people can react to you when your skin changes... Oh, and your color recs are always on point! Generally, if you can pull off a color, I KNOW it will look good on me. You taught me that I look darn good in pinks! As a fan for years, I say thanks!

[@Glamageek]

SMH at these comments. People need to remember this is a MAKEUP channel. Do you guys honestly think Jennie hasn't tried simple things like "drinking more water", or trying natural products? Acne is different for everybody. Some people suffer with lifelong acne. Don't judge someone else's bare face on youtube behind a computer screen.

[@FluffyNinjaArt]

THANK YOU! They are all skin guru's... yet don't know a damn thing..

[@abis4947]

Thank you... How the hell you come on a MAKE UP ARTIST'S channel and complain about them wearing makeup?

[@Deeee08]

MysticNinja

[@Blackcherokee91]

I had suffered from acne and hyper pigmentation, I simply stopped use make up for a while and take care of skin. now my skin is good I can use back make up but I don't use foundation my skin is good I don't have to cover anything, so because it's a make up Chanel we can't give skin care advise ? So you guys care more about make up then your skin I can't 208 propre can easily agree with this this is ridiculous...#the beauty of make its when it looks natural woman shouldn't were mask like transsexual that's my opinion

[@Blackcherokee91]

This is just a make up channel she's is not a "make up artist" that's the official make up artists definition :a person who applies cosmetics to a person, such as to a model or acto. Make up is beautiful true but your skin should be your priority

[@simplyshama]

You say you envy the girls with naturally flawless skin, but your skin looks smooth and glowy which is probably why, even though a lot of makeup was applied, it doesn't look cakey at all. You looked great with just the first layer of foundation!

[@cleartrueblue66]

You are beautiful Jennie. Thank you for sharing this with us-- it takes a lot of courage to show the whole world your bare face. There was a time in my life that I couldn't even leave my house without having some kind of makeup on my face. I was so afraid of people seeing my eczema scars and dark spots. I thought I was ugly. And that's not true--for me or for anyone. You look gorgeous with makeup and your skin without makeup really is not that bad. Very few people look flawless naturally and it's ridiculous for people to criticize you for trying to hide your blemishes and hyper-pigmentation. It's normal and you did absolutely nothing wrong. It's your face after all, not anyone else's. Again, thank you and stay beautiful.

[@izzyxclusive5185]

I love watching videos like these, although i am a guy (who is gay so i guess I'm fulfilling my stereotype, but whatever!) It's nice to see people who don't let their skin issues control their life. I have dealt with skin issues for the entirety of my high school experience and most of my adult one so far. In high school it was crippling but i am so much more confident with my skin thanks to videos like these! Also after a lot of trial and error I finally found a good routine for my skin and i think it's just a process but there is always a finish line! If anyone needs suggestions my routine is WATER and a lot of it! Skin tx cleanser followed by origins toner and any moisturizer (don't forget this regardless of your issues, oily included!). Hope this helps someone!

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

Everybody talks about toners but what exactly they do? I mean I've started using them but I don't see any difference do you think is important to use toners ? What product would u recommend ?

[@tgrandela]

+Izzy Rebel lion (Izzy Rebellion) Sweety...I have been reasearching A LOT about skin issues and fixes. I have come to the conclusion that natural organic routines work better than anything else. I now wash with pure manuka honey from New Zealand. The higher the grade, the better. I then use organic, raw apple coder vinegar as a toner and pure, organic coconut oil. Oh the difference!!! I make my own clay masks too! My skin looks and feels sooo much better!!! All of those products and chemicals in these expensive cleansers and such cannot compare to what mother nature has naturally provided on this beautiful planet!!! I only regret not doing this years ago when people first told me I should. Now I am trying to correct and slow the damage from the aging process. If those specifics don't work...you can find others that will!!! Organic and pure is where it is as!!! Try it. I know it will work!!!

[@Koffkathecat]

Hello from Russia ! first: you are very pretty !

[@Nina_dollinista]

With or without makeup Jennie you are gorgeous! You are such a positive role model for women to aspire to. And such a skilled makeupartist. Bless you girl. Keep doing your thing!

[@rooniemalik-chowdhury1744]

wow - it takes so much to come on camera without make-up, specially when you feel down about your skin issue. I think that its great that you had the confident to be able to show this.

[@Itssimplyjackson]

JJ you look beautiful momma!!!! There's no denying that!!!! I love your updated routine! Love from Chicago 😊😊😊

[@DrkNSwt]

JJ your skin has changed so much from when I first started watching your channel. You are a beautiful girl inside and out. Continue doibg what you are doing. Love your make up videos. Hope to run into when i am in London in two weeks. Would love to meet u in person.

[@Sweetheartbabez]

You look AMAZING. I haven't watched your videos in like a year and your skin has gotten so much better! Loved everything about it! And I agree, I love transformation videos too. No one looks the same with makeup on. Love that green too girl!

[@vanyapillay492]

wow the transformation is incredible. you looked beautiful before hand as well.

[@GlamPreezy]

beautybyjj Ive been watching your videos for years and I can see a huge difference in your skin especially in terms of hyper pigmentation. Stick in there whatever your doing is working!!!!! You look great.

[@Coco-uy4kx]

Love the foundation routine! When will you do a full face transformation, from no make up at all(bare face) to full face?

[@JennieJenkins]

Just Jodie Thank you..its already been done

[@Coco-uy4kx]

Hardly a silly question when she clearly has eye shadow on and her eyebrows are done!! Why did you feel the need to comment if Jennie already answered me, she can speak for herself.. your input wasn't needed!

[@mspinkytee]

Just Jodie But you still got it.

[@nicole.143]

Hey him I don't think it's a silly question. This is my first time seeing this youtuber so I'd ask the same question too.

[@nicole.143]

Nicole Bazile *hun (auto correct strikes again lol. Sorry)

[@TheLadiesOfSosa]

As many have previously stated, your skin has made so much progress! I think a lot of people have the wrong idea about what being comfortable with yourself really means. Wearing makeup is not a sign of insecurity. The fact that you were brave enough to show us what's underneath all the glam shows how content you are with yourself, and how willing you are to broadcast a minor flaw in order for others to be comfortable. You seem to be a beautiful girl inside and out! Keep doing you. 😘

[@LexieLouLou]

You're gorgeous! I wish I looked like you without makeup on. I'm embarrassed to go anywhere without makeup on because of my acne scars.

[@AllthingsNessa]

dont be embarrassed hun! ur beautiful

[@bongekamntaka764]

Lexie Lou Don't worry hey, ur acne scars will go away eventually but do make sure that u apply sunscreen on Your face regularly or moisturizers with spf 20+

[@AllthingsNessa]

+Fatima Bassir thanks dear! X

[@christinarenee5531]

I feel the same way as you I have ugly dark spots and with me being black it is not pretty I hate my skin and feel as if people are looking at the dark spots and not who I really am

[@deafcharmed07]

you need to get glycolic acid cream it does wonderful job to remove acne scars

[@ofworth1432]

I think it's so awesome that you're willing to show your skin. It has really improved a lot actually! I uploaded a video today and I almost re-did it because I was shooing my natural hair and I wasn't wearing any makeup either... but I decided to upload it anyway because I am a real person at the end of the day! Thanks for sharing this video! xxxxxx

[@terrysulcer819]

It's amazing what make up can do!

[@krystal6136]

Hi jennie, I just want to say your an inspiration to me, im 17 from Manchester and watching your videos has developed my makeup and hair skills.... I am amazed at your confidence and your acceptance of your skin condition.... I used to have really bad acne and my scarring was so dark especially on my face and chest, however for 2 years I have put some vitamin e oil either directly to my face at night or in my moisturiser and it has truly helps remove/ lighten my scars. I thought I would share this advice with you since your videos have helped me so much....x

[@mossonyi]

Girl, your hair is on flick!!!

[@TysheenOrane]

Do you mean "fleek"? lol

[@mossonyi]

Lmao, I stand corrected. Fleek it is.

[@TysheenOrane]

[@XoXoG]

lmaoooooooooooooooooooo u said "flick" im not laughing at u im laughing with u hehehe that was funny

[@mossonyi]

[@Ginaspcs]

Beauty, you don't need to explain anything to anyone. Your videos are amazing, you are helping so many women and I am proud of you. You look amazing with or without makeup and I thank you for making these great videos. You are a blessing.

[@MyMirrorMirrorTV]

Jennie you need to do a makeup masterclass this year!! Your skills are amazing! Loved this video girl 🙌

[@SuppleChicTV]

Omg I've read every kind of advice for face in your comments I'm 28 I've had skin problems for a while hyper pigmentation and stretch marks at for my face my hyper pigmentation is around the outer edges forehead sideburns mouth almost like a 3 0clock shadow I've tried quiet a few products but in my defense I can't seem stick. To stick to a routine so after a while it comes back I don't know when it happened probably but one day I decided to stop giving an F when I want to look good I wear make up and every other time I just rock my natural face its what my face looks like. my advice to anyone who has this problem is to stop stressing about it

[@bubblessony6808]

Wow ! This girl is like the prettiest girl I have ever seen :) So beautiful !

[@kimberleyakello7995]

My fave video so far, Only found out last year i have mild acne and finding the right make up to cover up my blemishes has been the longest process ever. This video is everything, Love what you do, truly an inspiration

[@rebeccarichards9937]

lol how is this tons pls? she looks the same to me and ive been watching jenni from the time she started in uni...i've seen worst, cos how comes when a lightskined person puts on a lot and i mean a lot of makeup no one wants to jab them and say rah like calm down but when its a darkerskinned girl its considered a sin? go and have several seats and jump into many canals, just hypocritical beings man.. i put on the same amount and im "lightskinned" if anyone wants to judge me for that then they can do that. funny thing is that the ones who are judge (girls) will be the same ones to watch many makeup tutorials to practice so they to can join the circle of being beat for the gods, and then the (boys) who will never look back for a second to move to a girl without makeup or weave and all "natural" the girls they will go for is the ones with the longest of weave and nails and eyelashes and their makeup is basically a paint gallery. ahh i wish someone would ur beautiful jen, with and without.. u wasnt born to please ppl with ur looks so dont get stuck trying..

[@TheResetWithEmi]

LMAO!! I feel like I could have been the one who made this comment! Nail on the head! Lol. Spot on analysis. Guys who clamor for natural beauty and yada yada are the ones with tons of pictures of Beyonce or Rihanna or whoever else on their phone and the girls that they do talk to look nothing short of that after their routine lmao. And then some innocent girls who don't understand the hypocrisy decide to be au naturelle and wonder why the boys aren't flocking in. Chile! You better wear your makeup as you please and live your life lol! Don;t get me wrong, I have no problem with the girls who choose no makeup. As long as you do it for YOU. Beat face or bare face, let it be your preference. From the beginning of time, women have been grooming themselves from head to toe. Ask Queen Esther cos I bet she wasn't "beat" for the palace when she showed up. If it took months of preparation to be ready for the King, please don't try to tell me they only applied some mascara on her and ushered her in. Hehe

[@rebeccarichards9937]

yassssssssss preachhhh! tell em *claps* lol

[@Tuesdaydotcom365]

Thank you!!!! You are too right lol!

[@XoXoG]

exactly. thats why boys are useless human beings. they are so stupid so we will continue to create an illusion on our faces and laugh at the foolish boys who claim they want all natural girls but the "all natural girls" are the ones doing "no makeup, makeup tricks" like whateverrrrrrrr. i agree with ur comment and amy lozy's comment.

[@JeNeevaLove]

well said.. thank you!

[@jodiii122]

Hey Jenni.. The Becca and Kat Von D foundations are absolutely life changing and time saving! They are the fullest of full coverage and don't require any of those extra steps. I've suffered from blemished skin for years and those foundations make my makeup application so much easier and less tedious! You look beautiful anyhow! X

[@cheryl3553]

Your skin actually looks so good! U look beautiful as always x

[@imogenarie2131]

Woah make up really transformed your face

[@SaleemKhan-ll1kx]

Thanks

[@AaliyahSingsGymtimidation]

I noticed when I workout and work up a sweat (without my hair being in my face) my skin clears up and seems to glow.

[@OmniEyeAm]

And some ppl have hyperpigmentation without having had acne at all. Sometimes it's just genetic or hormonal. Yes, drinking tons of water does help, but letting the skin breathe does not lighten dark discoloration, it just helps out the pores. The absence of makeup helps with smoothing the texture, not evening out pigmentation (concentration of melanin) in the skin. Some cosmetic products have spf in them which can help hyperpigmentation from from producing even more melanin than needed for an even skin tone. Jennie is concerned with the pigment, not the texture. So letting her skin breathe won't make a difference. I wear makeup damn near all the time, and my dark spots are lightening up just fine bc Black Opal contains sunscreen.

[@YesNess__]

Jenny, I have the same hyperpigmentation you have. I have tried so many different things (I don't even makeup, i drink plenty of water, i exercise, I've used different products) I'm a dark skin girl and around my mouth is noticeably darker (when my little brother is feeling mean he likes to tease me that I have a mustache-when really its just hyperpigmentation and that hurts). I am so conscious of the dark area over my lip and around my chin area....long story short, hearing you talk about your issues just made me feel not so alone...like some one else knows what this is like. When you find a product that works I can't wait to hear about it so I can try it too. Thank you so much love!

[@kisses1226]

Try Michael Todd products they are all natural and they really work, also do a natural honey mask and exfoliate with sugar and a lemon every 2 days. I guarantee when you take out chemicals on your face you will see improvement. Along with a great hair skin and nail vitamin and drinking plenty water. I know you don't like people telling you what to use lol but I just feel like those products would definitely work. Btw you are very pretty and talented 😍

[@esthera1020]

You really shouldn't use lemon on the face, it's too acidic it will damage your skin in the long term

[@magaliematondo383]

She does use Michael products, she made a video on them then I started using them a month ago,they are really good

[@goldengirl7625]

Esther A You dilute it with water and it works just fine.

[@sweetcheesepizza]

Thank you for so openly and honestly showing your transformation. You give all of us ladies with self-esteem issues (and let's be honest, that's just about everyone!) inspiration!

[@kateokwudili5385]

Don't worry darling , your face will clear one day , but it doesn't look bad as you say just around your mouth which is much better than before tbh . Great video love

Your bone structure is fantastic.

[@coldestate]

I'm so proud of you. As someone who looks to you for advice when it comes to my makeup game, it helps so much when you start your tutorials with a bare face. In the past it seemed as though this was something you avoided. Thanks so much for having the courage to expose yourself; Hyper-pigmentation, blemishes and acne are problems many of us have to deal with and for someone who has the same problems and is willing to share corrective techniques so we can have a beat face is Awesome!

[@Caramelhime28]

you have such beautiful features, only your skin is the problem, that's why you look so stunning with make up

[@MsKera888]

I remember about a year or two ago when I first subscribed to you, from then to now I see so many improvements with your skin. So beautiful as always.

[@lodiedodiee]

This is cool, I love the fact that you all don't let skin issues control your life. One word of advice, if you go on a date with a guy wearing full makeup make sure the next date is with you wearing NO makeup like I did. It's better to know what they think of the real you before the relationship evolves, you don't want to waste your time. I wore no makeup and we are still together 5 years later...and trust me my skin is jacked!!! Lol

[@tgrandela]

+lodiedodiee natural remedies are the best. Use raw manuka honey, organic apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil or jojoba iol. Make your own clay masks!!! You will save lots of money and clear your skin using what nature provides!!! No side effects!!! Do some research and you will naturally clear your skin!!!

[@JasmineAmaa]

Your skin seems to have improved so much. Your make uP skills are flawless as always xx

[@missbrownskin0]

The more you do videos like this, the more people will get used to your natural face. Without meaning to compare... Patricia Bright shows her natural face all of the time and we're just used to it now. It's not a surprise anymore, no silly comments left. Nothing. Well done for doing this video. Childish people will always have childish thoughts so pay them no attention. I think you look lovely

[@DramaticMac]

I loved this video.. I could watch you apply makeup all day you are brilliant at it xxx

[@dorcaskyei2999]

Jj I have been watching your videos for a long tym now, but I have notice you don't use primers nor makeup setting spray why is it that.

[@JennieJenkins]

Dorcas Kyei i haven't found a primer that works in terms of oil control/pore filling/minimising on me and i never need to set my makeup with a spray..the powders do that

[@babigurlai3]

beautybyjj Try Becca cosmetics ever matte poreless priming potion. It keeps me matte even in the summer. Milk of magnesia is not the best for your skin. :)

[@JennieJenkins]

OBabyxo i just ordered it. it should be here tomorrow :)

[@babigurlai3]

Yaaay! You'll love it! Just remember to pat it into your skin...DON'T rub or else it will pill on your skin

[@alicia2931]

beautybyjj try becca primer instead of milk of magnesia. I have oily skin and it works perfect! The milk of magnesia broke me out the first time I tried I never used it again

[@dulce141]

[@bwnsugashay]

[@itskevicianté]

Finally someone I can relate too. I dislike my ombré looking face....

[@islegirl5048]

Hi JJ. My hyperpigmentation around my mouth was really bad and over the years, I've discovered that drinking 5-8 cups of water a day and using vitamin C products are the best 2 ways to treat this issue. Im almost 40 & my profile pic was a few months ago, and you're only in your 20's so there is still time to improve it. Begin by helping your skin on the inside (water) then the outside (vitamin C and sunscreen). Love your vids as always.

[@liymasal2]

Your beautiful!!!!

[@lexiss09]

People will always say bad things and twist what you say to feel better about themselves. You are beautiful inside and out, you seem to have a calm and beautiful personality. You are free to say whatever suits you. I am a huge fan, you inspired me and you are teaching me a lot. Continue being fabulous hunni, you have embraced your 'flaws' and converted them into perfections, not many people can do that. Lots of love all the way from JAMAICA

[@HeyWarline]

Jenn your skin looks great. Have you tried a "healthy lifestyle" as in what you eat, people say it does wonder to the body and skin.

[@chantellea9938]

I was just about to ask the same question. While everyone suggests drinking water (which I do drink) I found eating properly helped. I'm surprised no one has asked this.

[@adelinens8589]

Bald Belle HeyWarline I had a healthy eating habit, drunk 2L of water per day, Fresh fruits nd veggies, cut oily food, no trans, no OGM, no can food or process food and tried natural skin facials but it didn't help :( so I started using acne products and Korean facial masks, my skin have improved a LOT... You just have to find the one things that helps your skin

[@chantellea9938]

Of course not. Eating healthy is a suggestion, it may not be the answer to her skin problems but it's worth a try. Everybody's body is different. It would be naive to believe what worked for one would work for another.

[@fatoukanyi3349]

You are beyond stunning with or without makeup . I love your routine . Everybody knows that you weren't trying to offend anyone , people love drama lol! You are incredible

[@iLUVNigeria94]

Hello JJ I really enjoyed your video, you look beautiful! I know from experience that it's not a good feeling for people to suggest products but I really wanted to share this one product. I got acne and spots and the ONE thing that helped was when my mom gave me black soap from DUDU ASUN. Lol I used and African sponge *uses Nigerian accent* to wash my face and lightly exfoliate. Thank then to moisturizer at night I mixed coconut oil, castor oil, and raw Shea butter or cocoa butter. If you want buy natural witch hazel and use it as a toner. In like 3 or 3 months of consistency my dark spots were gone! No lie I works and it and inexpensive route many should try I was shocked! Just make sure you get the REAL DUDU ASUN so going to a African shop would be ideal instead of ordering off line. I hope this helps. God Bless

[@iLUVNigeria94]

Lol this is sooooo embarrassing. Sorry the correct spelling is DUDU OSUN lmao.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with you in the fact that if you already have 'perfect' skin there's no point in wearing makeup- it's supposed to enhance your features

[@JennieJenkins]

Holly Peterkin i never said that though :S

[@lovenylax3]

She didn't say that she said if you are putting on makeup just to look exactly the same as you do without makeup you are wasting time. Looking exactly the same and enhancing your features are different.

[@gaytana3538]

Listen again...misinterpretation

[@LuanneLee268]

beautybyjj ya u did... but i love the video nevertheless...

[@spiritflame67]

She said that she prefers to see the transformation videos with people who have skin discolorations because when PEOPLE see videos when the girls already have flawless skin, they're like, what's the point.

[@DaisyTaveras]

I have been a subscriber for quite along time and I just have to say that I admire your bravery! Keep up the great work that I have been watching you are an inspiration! You own who you are in a world where many don't!

[@pharastar1]

She looks very different without makeup!

[@lifeofbeverlyok]

If she wants to wear makeup everyday then fine! Let her wear makeup. I can't stand those who are so judgmental and leave comments saying "wow so glad I don't have to go through that" or "that's too much" , it's crazy how rude people are and it's so saddening that people are actually leaving rude comments! I'm completely shocked!! JJ is beautiful with or without makeup! And if wearing makeup makes her happy then let her do what makes her happy all these rude and unwanted suggestions are not necessary. Instead of being rude either leave or write a comment to uplift her instead of breaking her down. I'm sure this video was hard to post but she did it for her subscribers and I'm happy she did!

[@IcedLipGloss]

is it just me or does she look the same with makeup??? the only thing that changed is you cant see the dark spots anymore...she didnt completely change the shape of her face or nose.

[@MsSahai]

That's a very positive outlook jj....your skin is what it is and you're working on it over time. Just like makeupd0ll, she has accepted and moved on and become even more popular for letting it all hang out. I looooved this video the transformation it was beautiful, ur beautiful.

[@Natas_Nico08518]

As a brown girl watching these other brown girls do these tutorials making themselves so much lighter makes me wonder whats so bad about my skin tone.

[@nahee2cul]

Natas Nico she is not trying to make her skin lighter, she is just trying to match the colour of her face to the rest of her body. This is something ppl of all races and skin colour do with makeup, because many ppl are not made with one skin tone all over their body. YOU NEED TO CHILL. not everything is so deep. P.S. im also a "brown girl" and i myself and im sure jenny herself am very comfortable and proud of my skin tone.

[@Natas_Nico08518]

nahee2cul No, I don't need to chill, it's my question and I was seriously wondering. Maybe being a little more tactful in responding would help not come across so harsh, thx hun :-) Oh BTW I am new to makeup, I know nothing about it, not everyone on here is trying to clown or be mean some of us want to know why certain things are done so keep that in mind.

[@noirpapilio4497]

Natas Nico she's not even brown ? she's black... brown to me is south asian or very obvious brown toned skin, she has black skin.

[@Natas_Nico08518]

Noir Papilio Oh my goodness serious just get your life right now because you know what I mean, her skin in not black, her skin is brown...smh

[@simplyshama]

Noir Papilio very few people are black (although they do exist) she is clearly brown, or perhaps you need your eyes tested haha. there isn't just one shade of brown. asians are brown, black people are brown, we're just different variants of one colour

[@BeautyinlagosBlog]

DUDE! I don't know what you all see, but I see a very confident young lady! Kudos JJ, I LOVE watching your videos and thoroughly enjoyed this updated foundation routine! xx

[@BisaNation]

FLAW- FRIGGING- LESS!!!

[@TobiCarew]

Loved the finish look I love how your so comfortable in your own skin !xx your skin has improved for sure you look beautiful with or without makeup

[@Covagirlm]

lmao @ all these people randomly becoming acne experts. Most of you are absolutely insane.

[@orangekiss519]

Your skin has really been improving!! So gorgeous with or without makeup!

[@kaya9383]

I guess it's a matter of opinion I like to polish my natural look I don't see it as "wasting time" because I care to look like me. I don't feel the need to chisel out my nose when i put it on because it's not the look i want. If its what you want have at it. That comment doesn't sit right with me but oh well. I like to watch that's videos because they're fun to see.

[@qtepiee88]

I Love how natural it looks. It just looks like you covered up the blemishes, not that you have caked on foundation. LOVE it.

[@keeshamaitland-barreau3909]

Wow! I'm sitting here reading some of the comments and I'm a little sad. I don't think that Christina F intended to hurt or "throw shade" at beautybyjj. However, because this is a written forum and transcripts do not come with spelled out emotions, we have to be careful how we write. To start the response with "Maybe" was not a good idea Christina. It would have been more effective if you had complimented her on her makeup routine/video and then go into your suggestion. And writing the word "no" in all caps was another downside to your suggestion. Hence the reason for a lot of the backlash. I truly believe that you wrote it with no malicious intents, but I think the delivery based on writing format came across a little offensive/harsh. We as women go through so many things as it relates to our skin, hair, features, etc. Let's uplift each other, compliment each other, make worthwhile suggestions, be more polite and respectful to each other as well as listen and interpret with our hearts and not be so quick to jump to a conclusion, especially when we really have no proof of the person's true intentions. beautybyjj this is my first time watching your channel and when i started the video i knew immediately that I wanted to subscribe. You had me at hello! lol. :) Continue doing what you love, continue looking for ways to improve your skin and continue sharing your journey and passion with us. We appreciate you and the time that you invested in sharing! #OneLoveLadies

[@S1mplyALLURING]

Great tutorial JJ! Your skin has improved a lot! Its probably not where you want it to be but in time it will be! xx

[@nubianqueenforever9558]

I think your such a great makeup artist and I have no problem with you putting on make up to cover up not so perfect skin. But I must say this. Too many young women now a days use make up to transform their face in such way that you don't even notice them without it and that is very deceitful. I think makeup is meant to beautify and not transform unless your playing a role in a movie as a different person. So I'm gonna have to agree with @Christina F. on this one. Especially when she wrote down and I quote "Implying that wearing makeup to look the same as your natural face is “a waste of time” is nonsensical, that’s God given and for you to love and embrace". PS. This is not a hate message.I just thought I'd speak my mind a little. But I do love your channel, I think your beautiful with and without makeup and You just got that Look that alot of women wish they had.

[@investmentpropertybar]

You are such an inspiration. I totally understand what you are aiming to get across. I currently have adult acne and I had to stop taking the medication the doctor gave me because I am pregnant. So my acne has now gotten worst but I am with you when I spend money on cosmetics it is always to enhance. Whether I am concealing acne scars or just putting on lip gloss it is always in an effort to enhance. Keep on doing what you are doing. I and many others really appreciate it.

[@aishaibrahim7765]

i'm not hating or anything just voicing out my opinions. 1) i feel like you are embarrassed by the way you look without makeup. 2) if you want your skin to be better, stop putting on too much makeup. give your skin breathing space 3) stop using too much products cause you're doing more harm than good. trust me been there 4) try going organic there is a product called "dr organic" slightly expensive but worth it. it has aloevera, cucumbers and argan oil as ingredients. really good 5) give your face a break so it can heal. avoid makeup for like 3 months. that way you will be building more confidence rocking your natural face and you will also be healing your skin. i hope you consider my opinions.

[@bolutifeoyenuga4588]

Lmao.what did you expect when you clicked on this video.obviously she does makeup tutorials and she likes makeup.you can't just assume she wears all the time.what makes you think she's embarrassed about her skin.she wouldn't be showing it to the whole world if she's embarrassed.you can't just make a list telling someone what to do and what not to do.makeup is what she does.beautybyjj is old enough to figure out what's best for her.sure you can advice her on what products to use just remember you don't know her well enough to know what her daily routine is

[@Daarkdon]

+Aisha Ibrahim Stfu

[@muslimah5155]

aisha ibrahim........I kinda agree with you.

[@MsMe1017]

While I do believe you are beautiful with or without makeup and your personality is amazing, I will say I would have to agree with Aisha Ibrahim. Sometimes the very thing that you try hard to make look good dose not really need it at all, I have seen a few of your videos and based on this video and the others I think "your face" just needs to be your face if you know what I mean. Your still beautiful inside and out with or without makeup obviously 🙏🏾

[@Glamyougirl17]

Make up doesn't cause hyper pigmentation. And if she's embarrassed and wants to cover it its totally okay. Some women have saggy breast and wear push up bras to cover up that issue. Let people do what Makes them happy

[@IShowant]

I just started watching your channel and I've completely lost track of time. Lol you're beautiful and I love your tutorials.

[@claudiacastrillon4440]

you look like Ciara

[@mrscwhite18]

Girl I understood what you were saying at the beginning of the video!! People honestly need to RELAX!!! You do an amazing job keep the videos coming and keep up the great work!!!

[@BiancaDoof]

is it just me or she looks like a man, especially on the video photo preview ? :/

[@newmumchi]

JJ your a beautiful woman! it takes a lot of confidence to show the world what you did. I love the way you carry yourself. This video will encourage other woman not to be afraid and to learn to work with what they have. I give you a big applaud for what you did in this video!

[@StephanieRenee]

I loved this video. I'm not a makeup person & recently got in a bad car accident that left me bruised with scars. I'm not use to having scars all over my face so I've been looking at how to do makeup to cover them & I think your message at the beginning was something I needed to hear. Thank you & I would suggest buying a aloe vera plant & putting it directly on your face it worked for my stress pimples n helping with the scarring ! Peace & blessings Queen.

[@sugarcainsgirl9669]

Beautiful Jenny! I love the eye make up and lipstick. I would love a tutorial on this look. I'm a huge fan and have been since the beginning of your YT career. Thanks for what you do. Thanks for your honesty.

[@victoriampofu2992]

Hey Jen, I think your skin has improved a great deal and to me you look absolutely fine without make up. It has really evened out. Loved the tutorial and ignore the negative energy x

[@Tara-zv8hc]

Hi Beautybyjj. I absolutely love the foundation contouring for my skin type. I am an older woman and have some areas that I don't like anymore. Example I wear glasses more because of the dark spots on the bridge of my nose. My glasses have been adjusted some many times it is hopeless. I have tried to conceal more in the areas when I wear contacts, but just doesn't do me justice. I will keep working on that. Your foundation contouring really transforms the face to a younger look for the older woman like me! Thank you and keep posting! If you come out with your own line of makeup make sure you posted it and be sold internationally. Have a great week ahead.

[@tauhidah17]

beautybyjj Thank you for updating your foundation routine!!! I have been a long term subscriber and I must say that your skin has improved a lot! Ignore the negative comments about your skin...people don't understand that hyper pigmentation is not something that can just go away by itself or by "drinking lots of water"! Keep doing what you are doing because it is working for you even if it is a slow process:)

[@TeaNZane]

Love your videos JJ. No one is perfect and be proud of your skin. It's great to see someone that looks like me with fierce makeup. I'm still working towards my technique but this really inspires me to try harder.

[@dharampalism]

I just love you! Thank you for speaking so truthfully and allowing yourself to be vulnerable for all of us suffering from the same issues. In my industry I'm expected to have clear skin and my skin often breaks out at the least opportune times! So, thank you so much...you made my day!!!

[@ladyluck538]

I have been watching your videos since you started, your skin has improved a lot. You were beautiful before and still are with or without makeup, keep beating that face, because I enjoy watching you do it.

[@chidelovesyou]

You look absolutely Gorgeous

[@OriginalFlyGurl15]

Your skin has improved SOOO much since I started watching you years ago.

[@KC-yp4hc]

I seriously love this girl and have been watching her videos forever. My face looks so similar to the way hers does before the make up and when I see her transformation I'm like wow. I wish you could do my face

[@LisaMarieEvans]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Struggling with hyper pigmentation SUCKS! Maybe I'm not searching enough but a rarely find great solutions for it and I love this. I'm so happy right now,

[@Chinty147]

You did an amazing job correcting the hyperpigmentation! I'm guessing some of these other users never had acne problems or issues with the hyper-pigmentation it leaves afterwards so they think simply washing one's face and not wearing makeup is enough to leave one's skin flawless. Some skin is just hypersensitive to all sorts of things, most of all different facewashes and moisturizer - I've never had a problem with makeup.

[@icarus0823]

Beautiful! You have taught me how to beautifully apply my makeup; and I am not a young whipper snapper like most viewers. Continue sharing your gift.

[@estadje]

I love the transformative nature of makeup, it's so fun!
