  • People are so beautiful as long as they totally accept and embrace themselves and do not impose it on others. We can all express ourselves and be creative in so many different ways. I agree with everything you say and just so you know I am a straight female being inspired by you, because, I found you to be bright, creative unique and inspiring in a positive way. Stay true to yourself and to others because that’s your real spark:)

  • I think your view of the world is very optimistic. I don't see that it takes direction towards individuality, in fact I see that it moves further and further away of it... But thank you very much - wonderful video, very serious and very important.

  • WOW :D

    one of the most inpirational vids i ve seen on youtube :D

    i love this video :D

    u r so right!

    who cares who others think or say

    they r all fickle if they cnt understand

    piece de resistance!

  • Sod Gok Wan, you are my piece de resistance of personal style. Or should that be myself? It's still confusing, but inspiring nonetheless. So here it is. I would like a personal makeover/life coach session from you as my 21st birthday present next January :) I feel like I've a personal style deep within, but I can't get it out myself. I don't think baggy jeans, converse and fruit of the loom jumpers are expressing me good enough! PS. I'm serious about my birthday present ;)

  • Richie, you ARE the TRUE INSPIRATION, and i meant INSPIRATION not just a role model.

    Absolutely adore how you could be the best you you could be!

  • Richie This Is Your Best Video! You Realy Inspire Me Helped Me Finding My Personal Style

  • You definitely inspired me, thanks for the videos. On my journey to personal style =)

  • Love you. I absolutely love your advice. Thank you so much for your videos. :)

  • this dude talks sense. love it. xx

  • amen

  • I think I'm in love with you.

  • Dude, I love you. :]

    This was really true and inspiring.

    I take classes at a fashion college in my city. Sometimes I feel inadequate to the other girls there because they have nicer clothes and look more grown up than me. But you have inspired me to not care about that anymore and just embrace myself. :] So thank you!

  • i love your videos thank you for inspiring me xxx

  • "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."-oscar wilde

  • I love the love you give to us!

  • omg! i hit the suscribe button after watching this vid! is amazing u r totally right! hugs =)

  • LOVE your videos! especially this one.

    you've inspired me to be more of myself:)

  • I honestly think that a lot of people are scared to be themselves for fear of ridicule. But I agree with you here.

  • "Ridicule is nothing to be scaaaaared oooof, PRINCE CHARMING, PRINCE CHARMING!!!" :)

  • I heard Adam Ant was supposed to be making a high profile comeback. He was great back in the day!

  • Comment removed

  • love.love.love. what you say.. totally true !

    sometimes we're afraid of showing ourselves just how we are because we think some people will turn us down or laugh or criticsize us, but we'll discover who are true friends are, the ones who care about you and accept you as you are!

  • WOW you are totally amazing!!  the words you spoke were sooo true and you are soo awesome for making a stand .. hopefully people will be who they wanna be now after watching this .. xxxxxxxxx

  • You're so right

  • being inspired and being a copy cat is totally different! being inspired is taking a look and making it your own, tweaking it to fit you. you have inspired me with so many looks, but they do not and will never come out as your exact ones! i always end up putting my own spin on things!

  • I just bumped into your channel and I think u are really special. I love your makeup...

    aww, please don't upset... u are such an inspiration for lots of people.

  • how does one present thier personal style and how does one know what thier personal style is? What benifits are thier for this? Personaly, I find emo kids and bright/bubbly sexy styles annoying... Am I wrong for not having an interest in outragious style to grab attention and is that the only perpous it serves? To get attention?

    Its getting more interesting as I study this...

  • Style doesn't need to have anything to do with "grabbing attention". Weren't you listening to Richie? Having a personal style is all about being comfortable with yourself and being happy with the person you are, and not afraid of showing it.

  • if the point is to not grab attention... then wouldnt the most logical choice for your appearance be of one style that is the same as all the others to avoid being bothered by people? which draws yourself to the question of what is essence of up keeping your apperance if it has nothing to do with seeking attention?

    seems like a waste of time to me. there is nothing more comfortable than a crew cut and light clothing in a climate controled environment. that hair doesnt look comfortable at all

  • Nonono - the point of style isn't to grab attention, but it isn't to hide from it either. It's got nothing to do with people thinking you're "cool" - it's just the way of presenting yourself that you feel expresses you best. Like, with your crew cut and light clothing you express yourself as a practical, no-nonsense person. Another person might wear bright, funky clothes to express themselves as a fun, outgoing person. Or whatever. It's about being MENTALLY comfortable with how you look.

  • it's nice to hear there's some emotion under all that makeup.

  • i wish i had money to express myself through personal style but when you're an unemployed 16 year old with a struggling single mom it's not exactly easy even when you do find inexpensive stuff. GAHHHH

  • To me, a style is not about how your appearance... or how people look at you. It's about how you express yourself by speaking, writing and acting. It's not necessary to have money to show who you are. I think style is also a kind of attitude of how we look at the world and living.=] No matter it's positive or negative, it's just how we think.

  • You are so inspiring. (: ILY!

  • Thank you for making this video. I was thinking about personal style today and I was upset at how so many people follow fashion. I feel like this is a great presentation on the concept of style and fashion. The only thing I disagreed with (kinda) is that people usually have to play make believe in order to weave their way to who they are. So Fashion has it's place.

  • U Inspire Me, I Love Your Videos.

    Thank You Richie!

    -Sara

  • excellent video, I really like ure message in it

  • You are an awesome creature. I love you.

  • i love you <3

  • That definition is absolutely perfect, you're right. Thank you also for telling people to be their best selves by being themselves truly. Honestly the only way to find out who you are is to stop hiding behind fads and trends and be confident in what you look like, what you do in life, and what you love.

  • Thank you , Richie. You are a true inspiration.

  • Thank you x

  • Your so rite! i have been wanting 2 wear my own style but always beein 2 worried abwt wat people will fink or how they will look at me but i realised that ppl dnt look at u like that and you have realy inspired me thanks !! x

  • you inspired me to finish becoming a fashion designer thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thats awesome glad to be a help xx

  • Comment removed

  • your really clever & individual

    this has definitely inspired me

    kudos babe :)

  • ahh thank you Im glad you liked it xx

  • love<3

  • OMG you are freaking cute! Your tips are awesome. I like a lot of stuff, and I felt so confused but after listening to your advice I felt a lot better, and I am finally beginning to understand who I really am. You are such an inspiration to me. Thanx a lot.

  • I absolutely agree with you! Everybody has to find his/her own personal style and I'm really glad that i can see people like you,who want to the help others with some easy tips and some encouraging words

    Oh and I think you achieved what you wanted.I don't wanna be like you,but you give me inspiration and give inspiration for thousands of people all over the world.

    The world would be colorless and boring without people like you

    xoxo

  • i like your hair short like this

  • you hit the nail on the head richie............ trends are started by people who have the most creativity......and followed by the people with none

  • you are very right!

  • This is a really great point. I always question what I am told in every other aspect of my life except for fashion (I buy pieces because I really like them and they are my style, but I also buy other pieces because they are in style) You're really inspirational and I love all of your videos

  • I have been searching for this kind of vdo for ages! I think you are inspiring, and not many gurus on YouTube inspire me, because I like my own style more. But you really make me think about a style that has been staying with me i.e. things that I like ALWAYS (kind of like your love for gold) and it's a good thing, it should be something that shouldn't be influenced by other people if they didn't like it. So thank you for inserting this peace of mind to me. Keep up the good work, Cheers xo

  • you definetly inspire me!

    i have gone a bit more neutral with my clothes, i've started appreciating leggings more:D and i understand what i like a lot more! so you've really been a help;)

  • im inspired by you! your amazinggggg! x

  • " Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" - Oscar Wilde :)

    I love what you're saying and embracing and I hate seeing people just ride on trends that don't suit them. I can appreciate other peoples personal styles even if I don't agree with it and I think its a beautiful thing!

  • my new favourite  vid... excellent words & very inspirational, as always thank you for sharing

  • What are your suggestions for how one can go about developing their own style? I think it would be awesome if could post a series of videos of developing personal style how to!

  • wonderful eye colour!

  • love it!!!!

  • Awesome. Thank you for stressing that there IS a difference between fashion and style.

  • You DO inspire me.

    More than anyone else, actually.

    You are beautiful, inside and out,

    and you definitely have an important message.

    Brava, darling.

  • but fashion is a way of expressing your style in the present

  • You have said it all! wise words.

    You must be a very sweet person, i wish you all the best.

    keep up, with good work.

    P.S.: you have beautiful eyes.

    kiss from portugal :-)

  • ur very right about personal style, loved this video

  • i'm so glad i've come across another person in england who has individual style and hasn't fallen in with the 'indie scene' crowd. :D

    people need to accept individual style. :)

    xoxo

  • awiiyli hada3 dry hahahahahaaaaaa hyyhyhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhahahah wla bbbbbbnthhhhhhhhhh dahaktounyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • hi i just randomly found this video and im so happy..that finally sumone gets me.

    (on the points made between 0 :52 - 1:17 )

    everyone give me troubles saying i should be more feminine a wearing small dresses

    you have already inspired me...i've only watched one video.

  • well you deff inspired me!

    you are like my style and makup hero

    i just watch all your vids all the time haha

    love you richieee!:]

  • omg you are actually SOOOOOOO right especially the ending! (about people who dress in trends)

  • Well done you!

  • When I first clicked play for this video, I had a feeling it would consist of useless information. Well I guess my first instinct was wrong. You bring up many good points when it comes to the fashion industry and the way society visualizes hollywood. I must admit it is difficult to see "style" and "fashion" as different things but you seem to have a very clear understanding of the differences. As much as this video seems repetitious it brings up interesting ideas and for that I thank you.

  • amen!

  • i think all boys and men should wear make up.

    that would be fair for women.

    and you guys also look better!

  • Amazing video! Very inspiring. :)

  • i heart you :) yay

    inside and out

    & Thanks for the awesome advice..

    No other could have said that better..

  • I always hate the 'who are you wearing?' question at the oscars, its like i'm wearing me.

  • you must have liked it if you watched it that far.

    this is such a great inspirational video and i found i myself nodding my head all the way thru and thinkin if only more ppl could see this and put this into actions instead of just reading.

    Since coming across ur vids, u have giving me confidence, not only as an artist but a person. I have confidence in and around makeup, where as a yr ago i would be afraid of experimenting. The more i watch the more i want to become a utube jockey lol

    Chantelle-Sydney Aus!

  • I love your style.

    You remind me a bit of Nick Rhodes, from Duran Duran. But maybe you're too young to know about him.

    Keep up! you're beautiful.

  • No he's a Big Fan Of Duran Duran

  • woah -- i want a transcript of this! so motivating ... i agree 100% ... thank you <3

  • Great video!

  • i love how u say change

    FYI:strong message

  • Like i said you can incorporate fashion in to your style if you think it represents you.

    makeup is a part of who iam i do a variation of a smokey eye and nude lip everyday cause its my style.

    i think you should take a look at yourself before you criticize others.

  • You inspire me more and more every video! I love your new 'do and the contacts. Ur so sexy! Keep up the great work on your style, I know I do! This is one of my favorite youtube videos of all time!! Love the message, I hope people actually LISTEN! Love ya!

  • I watch several "gurus" on youtube, but you are the first an only one to ever say such wonderful words.

    And you are right, style come from within you, fashion reflects "current" trends.

  • Your are by far the most inspirational make up/style guru on youtube by the mere fact that you posted this video; so much love for you richie nickel.

  • You are cool.

  • Well said. Thank you for that!

  • WOW you look really good in this video, like your hair and make up is not different from the other videos but somehow you look so glowing and great;)

    And i think the same with the style thing:D

  • I agree - great message, great look!!

  • That was awesome! I have been watching these tutorials that you have for some time now and just decided to start my own channel. My first video will be a "Piece to Resistance" video to show my own makeup style!

  • very wise :-)

  • Love the inspiring video...thank you!

    you're great x

  • I would so buy your book on lifestyle if you ever do one - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I myself am trying to work on my own confidence and honesty - figuring out what I want from life - be it style, makeup, work, friends etc. Thanks so much

  • Brilliant! the piece de resistance!

  • so true <3

  • Wonderful person you are, seriously. You really made my day. People who look at me with my bright eyeshadows and my bright lipsticks and see me as a freak. On the other hand, I dress in black all the time, so people tend to call me an emo (emo meets neon colors, yey). I love every word you have said. Sometimes I stop doing what I am doing because of what people say. But you made me feel much better about myself. Thank you.

  • i saw you in oxford st the other day! i shouted 'it's the boy from youtube!' i got excited! hehe

  • Did not expect this to be inspiring, but it totally was.

  • can you let me know what your wearing on your lips? they look great

  • Very good and inspiring video.

  • Loved every minute of it, you get this a lot, but you really have inspired me to take my personal art and style to a whole knew level. Thank you, you have brought out the best in me- I have always wanted to experimented with make-up but was afraid what people would think of me cause me being a guy and all, thanx for giving the confidence boost

  • that was great. thank you.

  • So true

  • I love this video. :) To conform to fashion, fads,trends and not find your own style or be your own self is putting masks on that people in society make you put on. That's not truly you! I love that you see makeup/style as the art that it is. It's refreshing to hear someone have such valid points.

  • MY god!You have like thee perfect features!I love your look and your lips are gorgeous!And youre right.."Be yourself"!

  • I love this video. :) To conform to fashion, fads,trends and not find your own style or be your own self is putting masks on that people in society make you put on. That's not truly you!
