Thank you, Risa! I recognized myself in a LOT of the pictures and I shall start tweezing up my act...tomorrow. You are so helpful and polite. I wish I could teleport you into my bathroom every morning so you could help me put on my best face.
i love that you shown that everyone starts somewhere ! i love geting new ideas from gurus on youtube for my projects... but i can not stand 98 percent of them .. i am sooo glad i can subcribe to your channel and make you my number three goto guru lol : D

Post a comment if ya get one I will post a video of my most recent haul sometime soon
I can be a brow nazi, too. Today I told my friend Tyler that I wanted to take my tweezers, tie him down to a chair, and pluck pluck pluck. His brows drive me NUTS sometimes!
u were a chola who would have thunk it lol jk anyway I LOVE MATTE SHADOWS also u really can't have a well balanced look with definition without a matte shadow great video
i don't think so why would u put white if ur dark and wetpaint youtube video ur talking about she does not have white its a lighter version of her skin tone i do that same sometimes maybe this chick just got some brow highlight up there atleast i hope cause if she is walking around with white up there some one please tell her!!
I think the fascination with frosty eyeshadow comes from the fact that most low end eyeshadows come only in frosty finishes. It's what most people start off using, and even when we start using high end makeup we end up using what is familiar and thus comfortable :) plus, frosty colors are often prettier than matte colors. I don't think that makeup companies focus enough energy on making pretty matte colors available to the average consumer.
the critiques u gave were so clear and helped so much for those of us who don't train at make up schools and just learn via youtube, thank you so much for this video, and to every who sent in their pictures. many thanks again! xx
Loved it! I hope the ladies did not take anything personal.. kudos to them for entering their photos & to you for your honest & professional evaluation.
I really appreciate that you posted pictures of your make up when you were a beginner like most of us, you inspired me to practice I thought I had no hope, Thanks for this video and your inspiration.
dear risa, could you re do the look on 15.34? I would love to see your take on it now. thank you so much for the video, this is so helpful. boy, i ve got a long way to go.
raccoon never actually popped into my head, i was really bored, and had my old makeup on underneat, and i had just bought mutiny pigment that day, and i was like
OMG maybe some people are trying to grow there brows out or maybe they dont have their twezzers jeeezeee.
And some people like shimmer more than matte.
But other than that i really like how you showed how you improved i loooooove looove the last picture and the picture you showed you redid OH and i love you eyeshape when it has eyeliner
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Some people look bad with alot of mascara and some people look bad with a crease color so you dont have to say ooooo add more mascara or ooo "i know you dont have to add a crease color but you should add a crease color."
This was great Risa! I love flashback makeup pictures where you can see how you progressed! :) I wish I had more pics of my highschool days of dark brown and blue smokey eyes and dark pink/brown lips when I was so fair skinned with blonde hair hehe thanks for the awesome video!
thnak you Risa i was suprised to see my eye 1st but yeah thank you for the imput and feedback it will help me soo much i love this idea i wish you would have done it sooner
I didn't use all that were sent because I knew the video would be long enough as it is. Also, some the lighting was too poor, others were photoshopped to death- which defeats the purpose. The ones I didn't include that were of decent quality (photo-wise) I'll include in a different series.
I think we "avoid" matte eyeshadows because they are harder to find-- especially in drugstore brands, and they are less forgiving. Matte eyeshadows are harder to blend because they show application flaws more than shimmery eyeshadows which reflect light.
i love this video!!!! it helped sooo much. even though u do talk us through tutorials,u are good at makeup so dont really make mistakes to show us how 2 do it better.this teaches us how 2 do it on our own and not just copy ur tutorial looks. LOVE THESE!!!
can you please please please please post the products used for the 3rd picture in this video. im in dire need of knowing the crease colour in particular.
I think this video was great. I like that you showed some your own looks from when you first got into make up. I dont think you were over critical. The people that submitted these pictures requested you to critique them and you did it professionally.
i dont understand why people ask to be critiqued on their work. makeup artistry is an art and there are no rules to an art. other people's opinion is simply pointless when it comes to that because it is your own creation. catering to everyone else's likings is not necessary when it is an art...
with that said, i appreciate you taking the time out to give advice for people :)
Getting makeup critiques is no different than getting any other critique. You're always going to do it your own way but there is always advice to make you better at what you do. It's not about changing who you are, it's about making yourself better. Plus, these people seeked out her advice so they could improve.
Risa, these are delicate situation. I'm not one to comment much but I observe a lot. MOST of the folks who are watching make-up videos on YT like to be spoon fed. You'll be damn if what you feed them is not sugarcoated to their liking! They'll crucify you.
I absolutely love your take on the pics. I immediately picked on the same things myself. On the black lady with white above her eyebrow, it's a concealer. I hate it when people do that!
I really like the tips you gave- I used them for an eye look I did tonight to go to a halloween party and it came out so much better using a matte crease color. Which I've formally stayed away from because they're a little irritating, but I just really packed it on over a good base and BLENDED- it came out great!
There was nothing wrong with this video...the feedback was constructive..critism...if ppl can't handle that...then they shouldn't ask for it-period
This was handled very eloquently and she even made a point to show her own faults...U can't ask for better than that...If it sounded as thought she were constant picking...well its the pictures...Obviously ppl saw their own looks and thought..something's wrong with this...only i don't know what...So u ask someone- you may not always like what u hear
oh ya...definitely need to clean brows..Almost everywhere u noticed brows..so did i...I'm a brow natzi too..Not a fan of shaving brows..or of frosty shadows..-the whole look of frost shadows..I always have been a fan of matte shadows...never did i like frost...I'll use it..but then each time i do...i hate it..lol..
Some of the feedback in this video was misplaced. I think that the feedback was given to make the looks more your style. [Add darkness for depth, blend it out, pluck your eyebrows, no sharp creases, blah blah blah]. There are different styles and I don't believe that people should be scolded because they have a different style than you. I love you, Risa, but there's a difference between constructive criticism and making people conform to what you like. [Now's the time where I get 50 thumbs down]
Yeah, I know. I'm not trying to cause a big fuss or anything, but there's never just one right way to do ANYTHING. Except maybe breathe, and we all know how to do that...
i wasnt starting anything either people always take things the wrong way and attack. most of people on here dont listen unless you;'re like i love this omg. etc. if you have anything else to say you might as well be ready for a comment war. its kind of ridiculous. people cant just listen to people. whatever though. im over this. ciao. lol
No I actually agree with you, and no one should thumb this down. Which is why I said "personal preference". Especially with makeup there aren't necessarily rules. I did this because people often ask me for feedback and my opinion. My intention wasn't to scold anyone and I missed where I did that??? Even in the case of shaving brows off - that's not something I like, but as I said, if you're going to do it, at least make sure it looks clean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You're really talented and all, but I don't see how telling someone how to make a look more YOUR style is helping them improve. Especially because makeup artistry is an art, and there is no one way of doing it. I think criticism can be given, but I think it should be limited to "you should set your foundation so it stays better". I'm not trying to tell you what to do, it's just that I think that makeup is a part of self-expression, and people shouldn't have to do what you think looks good.
I totally agree with you saying there's no right way to do makeup, it's your way, but these people sought out her opinion on their looks and she's going to do the best she can to help them. I don't think Risa was being too harsh or trying to teach them to do it exactly like her, she was just giving constructed criticism.
I'm sorry! I know the audio sucks and is sooooo low. I am going to do more feedback videos in the future, but I just have to find a better editing program so that you all can hear me clearly. :/
great video....and also if you do end up getting an email about the colors used in the look with all the purples (the last look) email me too!!!...lol....i thought those colors were FUH-nominal!...thanks
You are an amazing teacher. The fact that you can be objective and criticize your own makeup skills is really quite impressive. It is obvious you have grown immensely as a makeup artist because of your ability to learn and be open. Thanks for being so real...it is refreshing! xx
Thanks hun! As with anything in life, unless we can be objective, we really can't learn anything, because our ego tends to get in the way. I do believe that there's always room for improvement. And I'm glad that this video was (mostly) received well. When I have the chance to learn from someone with more experience than me, who will point out my flaws and how I can fix them, I always jump at the opportunity. When we stop learning, we stop growing.
I tried pausing it at each picture and guessing what you were going to say. I usually got it right! So now, I'm going to internalize your voice to critique my own makeup, because sometimes I have a hard time seeing what I need to do to improve, even though it's obvious I need some help.
i think the reason why everyone used so much frost finish eyeshadows, is just because, looking at them IN THE PAN, they look so much more appealing than matte ones :P
I'm building up my matte collection now ^^ I need more matte shadows, but the shimmery ones are just tooooo enticing XD
Risa thanks, I've learned a lot from you. I now use your technique of throwing some color in my crease area before applying lid color. My eye is shaped a little bit like yours. So your vids help me a lot. Nice commentary without being hard on people.
12:50 into the video... PLEASE WHOEVER DID THIS DEEP PURPLE LOOK! contact me... OR put up a video of how you did it or something!!!! would love to know!
I LOVE the last viewer submitted look (before your pics)... if you find out what she used- please please pleas re-create it or let us know! I am dying to know. its amazing!!!
This video is great and shows common mistakes ALL of us have made at some point-- kudos to the girls (and at least one guy) who submitted photos and helped us all learn. I'm glad that in one of your old photos you showed how you can mess up lashes, Risa. Clumpy or old mascara can make lashes look awful, which draws attention from gorgeous makeup.
She was very nice with her feed back! She wasn't rude about the eyebrow thing. I would have been way more rude then that! What is wrong with people sending close up eye shots with ungroomed eyebrows? dorks!
can you please please please please post the product list that you used for the 3rd picture in this video, the lightest of the three. im in dire need of knowing the crease colour in particular.
Well in that case you teacher is a legend. And yes indeed. Some people should really get over themselves and teach themselves not to be completely rude and mouthy morons!! xx
GAH what is the deal with all these girls and their eyebrows all over their face! If you take the time to fill in your brows, why not take the time PLUCK them before you do so. It really makes a hugeeee difference in your finished product.
er where was she rude? people need to get over themselves. these people sent these to get constructive criticism, she never said omg that horrifix, she always said why she liked it, and what she thought should be improved
plucking your brows isnt an insult, its a criticism that some one can act upon, people need to get over themselves
its called constructive criticism. And she wasnt being rude, its not like she said "Hey your eye makeup looks like shit" she was giving honest answers to what these people wanted. She was in no way bashing these people and I really wouldnt want her to kiss ass either because I think that would be just as bad.
Risa, I think you did a great job and you were in no way rude.
And hey its as the old saying goes..
"Can't take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen"
You were brave to do this video because there will always be someone who won´t understand. I found it really helpful. You were very polite and, the bottom line is these pleople sent you their pictures for you to judge. The final part showing us how much you improved... priceless. It really gives us hope. :) Thank you.
I never went through the thin brow stage -- my mom wouldn't let me. She took me to get my eyebrows waxed and I told the dude I wanted them like pencil lines and he's like uh no, thin's not in. So I was always good about that I guess... I did always use frosty shimmery colors too, never really matte's. But now matte's are my favorite =]
Haha same for me! I went (and still go) to this large intimidating russian woman who didn't "believe" in thin brows. Looking back, I was lucky, because thin brows would have looked awful on me!
haha so true!!! Most teens go thru that ''more thin than thin'' eyebrows thing... I know I was one of them. And my sister was and is still one of them.
yes but going to far is a different story. feedback & doing a full physical exam so to speak are different. telling someone they need to pluck their eyebrows for instance. i think if u see that they know how to. it was more criticism than feedback constructive or not. wasn't needed.& the whole i would recommend stuff. get over urself. who are u? a human like the rest of us & there are dozens of gurus/mua's that can give "feedback" w/o being rude. & thats my opinion.why do u care? im not bashing.
she wasnt rude, they did ask for her opinion & i didnt think she was nasty with the comments.
i didnt say you were bashing her. maybe they asked about the eyebrows, idk. why would you tell her to get over herself when she was only providing advice?
Youre entitled to your opinion. What youre missing is that THESE PEOPLE ASKED FOR MY CONSTRUCTIVE. I didn't just think "hey, lemme be all high and mighty and bash people". Nowhere in this was I rude and I'm sorry you feel that way, but you're wrong.
im not missing anything. i understand why i just dont think u had to pick that much. i mean eye makeup & just makeup in general is art. & if everyone had liner, brow highlight & a crease in their every look. it gets kinda old to look at. maybe u & ur "fans" think im wrong but im not the only one. this video was the thought that counted trying to help out. but i think it couldve been delivered better. ya know? and i dont think ur the type to have a chip on ur shoulder. ur a good person.
You were so nice! Really nicely handled...Subbed! xox

I love you, Risa, but there's a difference between constructive criticism and making people conform to what you like. [Now's the time where I get 50 thumbs down]

this is exactly what im trying to say. people dont need creases and top liner etc. to be right. theres no right way to do a look/trend
amymarie0788 2 years ago
Yeah, I know. I'm not trying to cause a big fuss or anything, but there's never just one right way to do ANYTHING. Except maybe breathe, and we all know how to do that...
SelinaJustine 2 years ago
i wasnt starting anything either people always take things the wrong way and attack. most of people on here dont listen unless you;'re like i love this omg. etc. if you have anything else to say you might as well be ready for a comment war. its kind of ridiculous. people cant just listen to people. whatever though. im over this. ciao. lol
amymarie0788 2 years ago
No I actually agree with you, and no one should thumb this down. Which is why I said "personal preference". Especially with makeup there aren't necessarily rules. I did this because people often ask me for feedback and my opinion. My intention wasn't to scold anyone and I missed where I did that??? Even in the case of shaving brows off - that's not something I like, but as I said, if you're going to do it, at least make sure it looks clean.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
You're really talented and all, but I don't see how telling someone how to make a look more YOUR style is helping them improve. Especially because makeup artistry is an art, and there is no one way of doing it. I think criticism can be given, but I think it should be limited to "you should set your foundation so it stays better". I'm not trying to tell you what to do, it's just that I think that makeup is a part of self-expression, and people shouldn't have to do what you think looks good.

crystrill 2 years ago 5
I totally agree with you saying there's no right way to do makeup, it's your way, but these people sought out her opinion on their looks and she's going to do the best she can to help them. I don't think Risa was being too harsh or trying to teach them to do it exactly like her, she was just giving constructed criticism.

You are an amazing teacher. The fact that you can be objective and criticize your own makeup skills is really quite impressive. It is obvious you have grown immensely as a makeup artist because of your ability to learn and be open. Thanks for being so real...it is refreshing! xx
missthang66 2 years ago 3
Thanks hun! As with anything in life, unless we can be objective, we really can't learn anything, because our ego tends to get in the way. I do believe that there's always room for improvement. And I'm glad that this video was (mostly) received well. When I have the chance to learn from someone with more experience than me, who will point out my flaws and how I can fix them, I always jump at the opportunity. When we stop learning, we stop growing.

I think you did this in a great way.
I tried pausing it at each picture and guessing what you were going to say. I usually got it right! So now, I'm going to internalize your voice to critique my own makeup, because sometimes I have a hard time seeing what I need to do to improve, even though it's obvious I need some help.
Thanks for taking the time to help out others.

i think the reason why everyone used so much frost finish eyeshadows, is just because, looking at them IN THE PAN, they look so much more appealing than matte ones :P
I'm building up my matte collection now ^^ I need more matte shadows, but the shimmery ones are just tooooo enticing XD
thanks for this video, very helpful :)

This video is great and shows common mistakes ALL of us have made at some point-- kudos to the girls (and at least one guy) who submitted photos and helped us all learn. I'm glad that in one of your old photos you showed how you can mess up lashes, Risa. Clumpy or old mascara can make lashes look awful, which draws attention from gorgeous makeup.

GAH what is the deal with all these girls and their eyebrows all over their face! If you take the time to fill in your brows, why not take the time PLUCK them before you do so. It really makes a hugeeee difference in your finished product.
Beautifu1B1urr 2 years ago 2
er where was she rude? people need to get over themselves. these people sent these to get constructive criticism, she never said omg that horrifix, she always said why she liked it, and what she thought should be improved
plucking your brows isnt an insult, its a criticism that some one can act upon, people need to get over themselves
chapman001h 2 years ago 4
its called constructive criticism. And she wasnt being rude, its not like she said "Hey your eye makeup looks like shit" she was giving honest answers to what these people wanted. She was in no way bashing these people and I really wouldnt want her to kiss ass either because I think that would be just as bad.
Risa, I think you did a great job and you were in no way rude.
And hey its as the old saying goes..

I never went through the thin brow stage -- my mom wouldn't let me. She took me to get my eyebrows waxed and I told the dude I wanted them like pencil lines and he's like uh no, thin's not in. So I was always good about that I guess... I did always use frosty shimmery colors too, never really matte's. But now matte's are my favorite =]

This has been flagged as spam show
yes but going to far is a different story. feedback & doing a full physical exam so to speak are different. telling someone they need to pluck their eyebrows for instance. i think if u see that they know how to. it was more criticism than feedback constructive or not. wasn't needed.& the whole i would recommend stuff. get over urself. who are u? a human like the rest of us & there are dozens of gurus/mua's that can give "feedback" w/o being rude. & thats my opinion.why do u care? im not bashing.
amymarie0788 2 years ago
she wasnt rude, they did ask for her opinion & i didnt think she was nasty with the comments.
i didnt say you were bashing her. maybe they asked about the eyebrows, idk. why would you tell her to get over herself when she was only providing advice?

Youre entitled to your opinion. What youre missing is that THESE PEOPLE ASKED FOR MY CONSTRUCTIVE. I didn't just think "hey, lemme be all high and mighty and bash people". Nowhere in this was I rude and I'm sorry you feel that way, but you're wrong.
MakeupByRisa 2 years ago
im not missing anything. i understand why i just dont think u had to pick that much. i mean eye makeup & just makeup in general is art. & if everyone had liner, brow highlight & a crease in their every look. it gets kinda old to look at. maybe u & ur "fans" think im wrong but im not the only one. this video was the thought that counted trying to help out. but i think it couldve been delivered better. ya know? and i dont think ur the type to have a chip on ur shoulder. ur a good person.
