I know! And some younger "YouTube gurus" who clearly don't know what their talking about say some of the most overrated tips and ppl actually listen to them 😑

Ah, this...my personal favorite "tip" is to put Vaseline on your lashes. Girl, it takes ALL my restraint not to do something akin to online screaming at those people...makes me want to tear my hair out.

Thanks Michele! :) and Kathleen, I know how you feel. Makeup isn't one size fits all and I hate how everything nowadays is all "do red lipstick and winged eyeliner" or "smokey eye and nude lip." I have half a mind to start telling people to put on purple and green eyeshadow (because it's one of my favorite color combos) just to do something different! Ugh!!

That's one of my favorite color combos too.. It's the colors I usually paint my cars in games lol.

Where is this information coming from because I just saw an instagram/YouTube guru stating the exact same issues you are speaking of @Kathleen and my only concern with that is everyone wears makeup differently no two people are the same some people like extreme some people like soft and natural and getting beauty information is just like anything else you have to do research and find out who is really knowledgeable and knows their stuff because people come from different walks of life and teach different ly I personally don't look at everyone on YouTube or any other social Media platform as a guru unless they have the background to carry that title because lots of them take it upon their selves to say that they are gurus when they don't really have the background or credentials to do so.

Beauty G. right especially some of the younger one's that call them self guru's but then they say they only been wearing makeup for a month lol and show you how to put eyeliner in your waterline lol

To me makeup is self expression and freedom to tell someone if their application is not correct is one thing but to dictate how much someone should be wearing is just taking away from the art of makeup in my opinion.

Yeah some of those people at makeup counters can be a bit extreme at times lol!!

👏👏👏 I love this! I'm trying to better my skills in makeup and I get quite overwhelmed when I watch these "YouTube gurus" I just want a REAL SIMPLE everyday look with maybe a pop of color on the eyes but noooo you have to contour here and conceal there smh...too dramatic😷

Ugh the Vaseline on the lashes drives me nuts. The ONLY time I've ever put Vaseline on my lashes is when I was in school for special effects makeup and we did casts of our faces. And it was only to prevent the possibility of them being ripped out by the molding material!

I haven't read above but I'm sure the people on this thread are the ones who tend to look up facts. By biggest pet peeves are the lack of information and research people do. There's mane n tail which is awful and just as effective as lard, biotin because no one realized it comes in plenty from food , contouring with bronzer really like SHADOWS ARE NOT ORANGE I DON't CARE HOW MATTEE OR BROWN LOOKING IT IS. And this nonsense with beauty guru. It's like every other person is a beauty guru with a YouTube channel now. There are days where I am so sick of beautylish that I just completely avoid it because really I speak my mind and don't stop myself ever. People for realize how easy it is to type their questions into google and get real answers with evidence 😝

I think that's why so many good people leave this site. You get tired of everything. Someone will ask something and in five minutes someone else posts the same questions. And then they don't listen. They listen to the shit that's wrong and then come back crying about it😝 then there are questions so simple that my dog can answer 😑 google does work people 😋

You're completely right, Kitty! The thing that bothers me the most is that people ask things and then DISREGARD THE ANSWERS. Like when people post "MOTD what do you think?" they really should just be posting "tell me I'm pretty." It bothers me because I'll try to give them feedback and they literally ignore my comments.

I agree with you Hannah I am a big feedback girl I'm always open to someone helping me improve my skills!!

I was going to say the bronzer thing but I was afraid I would offend someone since a lot of people use it but like you said since when is a shadow orange or muddy brown it should be a cross between taupe grey maybe a little hint of brown in a contour but a shadow is not straight up orange or muddy brown lol.

Lol I have to super regulate myself on this site! It's way too damned hard to handle girls that are like 12 on here. Like, okay, I'm not quite 20 yet, and yes I've been messing around with makeup on my own since I was 12, but I didn't think I knew anything at all at that age! I just did what I wanted, and didn't try to give advice to my 20 year old sister. (Sometimes thats how I feel, I don't know maybe that's weird. Whatevs.)

I'm just glad I started getting into makeup before the internet craze. before all these outrageous YouTubers and other shady sources I got my info the old fashioned way...by asking the makeup professionals in my life. now its really easy for me to disregard info and tips that sound contradictory to what I was taught and what I thoroughly researched myself.

That^ girl, you're dead on.

@Velen you are not mean you did what I was afraid to do and that is so commendable if this weren't something that I really enjoyed I would have cursed that attention seeker out from left to right but I love it here on beautylish so l kept my mouth closed lol!!

I agree with everything! Everyone's skin is different, hair is different, face eyes and lips are different, styles are different and techniques are different. What works for one might not work or suit another.
It's funny my and my husband had a conversation about this in bed last night :)
