I've never trusted any beauty influencers that rely on cut edits between applications and blending or filters. Which is 90 percent of TikTok

[@RuminatingRaptor]

Which is the majority of them. I don’t trust them either.

The influencer gasp has been a thing for a long long time. Nikki does it over ever freaking product. James used to do it....they all gasp and make that dumb O face and then start off with something like "OMG YOU GUYSSSS" Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

[@azure5273]

Nikki's was a serious issue for me. I wanted to watch her videos, but everytime she did that sound 'AH!' 'UH!' like someone shoved an elbow into her side (I've heard worse descriptions but I'll be respectful) just pissed me off. And she did it for EVERY.FU€KING.ITEM. and step. Every cut scene started with another UH! I gave up.

[@lelou12]

The O face is exactly wath I was thinking! Like calm down, no makeup is that great 🙄

[@marysing4496]

Right, like we all just sit there gasping with shock how good the makeup is. So fake lol.

I think people are realising the job of influencers. Their job is literally to influence people, so please take all of their reviews (even unsponsored ones) with a pinch of salt

Right? And also, if it was "life" how come they stop using them the day after tomorrow when a new blush emerges and then that new blush gives life and we never see that one again aswell. Blush is just glorified eyeshadow.

@@nou257 i think Nikki is truly the one that started with the super over the top reactions and the “okkkkk guuuuurl I see you!” And that was part of why people liked her but it inherently created this culture where people overreact to everything and it is misleading to those watching. Like remember the “ohhhhh you are blinding people with that highlight! This highlighter will cause traffic collisions! It will change your life!” Like come on let’s be real no one can barely tell a wet and wild highlighter from a fenty one cause they look the same on.

Honestly, how can people not see that these "influencers" blatantly use filters all the time? How can you expect to get such results as is presented in their videos? Of course it's over the top and they "love" every product. I'm not the biggest Jeffree fan, but at least he usually is brutally honest.

[@BeautybyRoxie]

[@SocialExperiment232]

The fact that it’s gotten so bad that Jeffrey Star seems the most credible ☠️

[@off.arretezvousx]

Another thing that irks me with these tiktok beauty influencers is first impressions. They seem to think that first impressions = review. First impressions are not helpful because you don’t see how that product wears out throughout the day. How makeup looks when finished will look different several hours later. I’m not buying products influencers sell me until they show how it lasts with no filters, no photoshop, and no bullshit.

@@sarahisroaming me too!!!! But even the dermatologists I'm following are starting to do weird stuff too... Like, they recommend a new sunscreen every week... Or they try eye creams when back in 2020 they said they were pointless cause they were no different than a regular lotion... Idk, i lost that blind faith, the new sunscreen it's what feels the most icky, cause is sunscreen you know? I need ONE that actually blocks the sun, and it's not like I can really tell 🥲🥲

[@sarahisroaming]

@@minkakemi ohhh that sucks :(

[@obamasfoot7223]

omg yes Cerave SAVED my skin, I had severe cystic acne from years of using expensive trendy influencer-recommended skincare products, I’ve learnt my lesson the hard way that sometimes cheap, simple and scientifically-proven is best! it ain’t trendy cause it’s not ✨aesthetic✨ packaging but my skin is flawless and it damn well works!

[@lillianblythe8923]

I think of Niki tutorials when i think of the dramatic gasp

[@Cancelledt]

I always found beauty influencers bs. Everyone has a different skin, oil production and all that jazz. Just go to the store and test it there to see how it looks on your skin. These liars get paid 300k to say the product is like the tears of God himself but you can not compare it. What works for Karen might now work for Susan.

[@sensoine]

I wouldn’t trust anyone that talks and sound like mikayla Ive seen a guy that’s a beauty influencer in tiktok and his vids are direct to the point no dramatics and very informative

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

I hate her voice so much

[@Zee_1003]

i love Glamzilla because she is such a sweet person and in all fairness to her, there are products that she tried that she did not like or wouldn't recommend, . but if there are things that need to be addressed, i still believe they need to be more transparent so they won't lose the trust of their followers.

[@zunisilverwolf]

I think people shouldn't trust ANY influencer. If you see a product they're pushing, do further research before rushing out to purchase the product. Read reviews, ask friends, ask actual MUA's that aren't tRyInG to SeLl you a PrOdUcT. Whether OG beauty YT, or New-Age TikTok's; do your research.

[@lunaskye621]

I’m surprised that anyone expected these TikTok influencers to be any different 💁🏽‍♀️ when money is involved, people are ready to sell their souls.

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

Amen. Ok TikTok is garbage and I have never supported it and I NEVER WILL. I cant wait for it to shut down for good. Someday it will. Tumblr died. Myspace died. Twitter is almost dead. Pinterest is dying. Someday Facebook and Instagram will be dead too. Maybe. But these trend sites will certainly die off one by one.

[@angelangel7183]

I just loooove beauty community drama either on KZbin or tik tok, it keeps me alive 😂

[@rumblefish9]

Its really funny that Glamzilla asks about trust when she's lost mine a long time ago. She stopped being authentic the minute she kept hyping up certain brands (mostly expensive brands).

[@dustindailey]

😮 they love everything so much

[@nehabiswas7511]

That’s why I watch smaller/newer influencers. I don’t really want to throw away the whole basket just because of few bad apples and I like watching newer personalities

[@xiaminfinitex]

That’s why I love Sophdoeslife and Robert Welsh. They seem very genuine in their reviews

[@darienjones1510]

At this point I’m just doing the buy and try game and from word of mouth from people I know IRL, I got burned too many times by reviews early into learning makeup lol

[@TheBookNerd11]

I think you are spot on about that brow gel. She was pissed they didn’t reach out so she dragged it later.

[@calliejewelcreations]

they are so hypocritical i miss the old makeup industry even before all the youtube drama, idc if the makeup looks were horrid it was so calm and humble

[@j.f1609]

I'd love to see what Meredith looks like in person with that much makeup caked on 😂 I can't get behind the absolute basting with foundation with your hands! Whyyy

[@jadegordon8445]

Mikayla’s accent stresses me out

[@libelinhaa2079]

I don't understand why people would even think that an advertisement made by an influencer would be different from a traditional advertisement. Stop following everything someone else tells you and think for yourself

[@angelasuezanne1736]

If you really want them to be accountable and stop doing things, STOP FREAKING FOLLOWING THEM!!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️As long as y’all keep following them and supporting them they are going to keep doing it!!

[@andthephoenixrose]

This got nothing to do with the actual video but the way the b roll at 2:06 was using the brush on that eyeshadow gave me the ick 💀

[@beige_ricaforte]

Glamzilla has always given me an ick. It's so obvious that she's trying so hard to be on the safe side but it feels so fakeee

[@lmariebible]

The fact that people really thought these tik tok influencers were going to be different 🙄

[@jinantarabay]

For the part of the Jacklyn video. I’m pretty sure it’s basic color theory. Green eliminates red. And if claims to be a makeup artist she should have known that

[@Knightcheshirex]

“How can you not love something that looks like this, this is so gorgeous” Girl…the narcissism. You only think it’s gorgeous because YOU are gorgeous.

[@HisNameIsIvo]

By now we know we can't trust that community. Regarding got2be, I wanna share, they are known for their extreme hairglue and there's no reason to be surprised of the extra finish. Beside that, they have an iconic hair matt-paste and last year I got their blush and till this day it's the best I've ever got, it's powdery and creamy at the same time and way better than Kylie's in my opinion. My comment is not sponsored, I just want to give them credit for the great products. :D

[@giovannaquiroz6960]

Loreal out here ending these influencer's carrer 🤣💀

[@karennicholson4167]

I don't trust most creators, to be honest. I trust probably three beauty creators and none of the onea that I trust don't do beauty sponsored videos. They will do sponsorships, but they are open and up front about it, and they are unrelated to beauty (think Thrive Market, Casetify, etc.) so there is no conflict of interest. That is the way to do it and be trusted!

[@toast3591]

I honestly miss those long form Beauty videos so much.

[@rosemarykelly6076]

0 trust in influencers. I'm so over them all. My block list on TikTok has most of the big names.

[@viancavarma3455]

ok but that shot of the foundation dripping on the beauty blender almost made me gag

[@Local_Koala]

Glamzilla was also rude to that girl who called her out on TikTok for using beauty filter 🥴 she asked critic but couldn’t take it. 😂

[@anerdnamedalex8527]

For real, calling her a “weird girl” instead of just saying “I don’t use filters 😊” or “I am insecure in my skin and need filters to come on camera to give reviews sometimes”

[@andymkp]

Dude, this channel is so educative!! I'm learning A LOT!
