I love it!!

[MakeupLoverx31001]

[NordlichtimNorden]

[MsBreemoney05]

Wow! you are so gorgeous! And I cant believe you taught yourself! Thats amazing. You are really good at it and I just love your personality and style! Your channel is awesome! <3

[MsBreemoney05]

OMG! you are so gorgeous! And I cant believe you taught yourself! Thats amazing. You are really good at it and I just love your personality and style! Your channel is awesome! <3

[mysweetheart07]

where do you get all those makeup books??

[pepper12343]

ur necklace is funny cuz it says were all mad here :) haha.

[spinspinsugah]

SCOTT BARNES!!!!! I have that one :D... There's a gorgeous look in there that I used on my friend when she graduated. She loved her grad photos. My first makeup book ever, got it 'cause of JLo xD...

[114scenequeen]

ok i thought you were like some makeup artist or something

[behexenvyxen]

wow. Making Faces changed my life and how I look at design and make-up. I got that book not to long after it came out and was hypnotized by every single picture. I would sneak into my mom's make-up and try to recreate, tweak and mimic every single page. I completely ignored the rest of the world as I read it over and over. It gave me an entirely different vision on what a artist could be with skin as a medium. as an adult I now love the intimacy between tattoos and make-up with respect.

[rino1096]

i love how all these books are written by men :) it makes me happy to see the culture evolving and stuff like this becoming so much more accepted

[donniiee3]

i want aaaaall of those alice necklaces! LOVE THEM

[MichCoccaBene]

Thanks Josh that was helpful! I'm gonna ask for some of these for Christmas! It's so inspiring that you didn't even attend MUA school and you're so super talented! x's and o's Michele

[divaaa8D]

You're so cute . <3

[Sukossje]

Why do a boy wear make-up.. thats just gay.

[Predator2k1]

@Sukossje art

[Sukossje]

@Predator2k1 No thats gay :)

[TaylorShaliese]

@Sukossje y u no grammar good.. thats just ignorant.

[sonya212001]

I really appreciate your work! But after watching this video, I do appreciate it more because I found out how you started doing make up! It's fantastic that you worked at MAC. I also believe that you've learn so much through practice and working on your own. Good luck in the future, you deserve all the best!

[TITAFOUR]

Every day I love more and more your channel !!! your videos are always so so so interesting...

In the first book the face is from an Spanish Girl called BIMBA BOSÉ ( I am Spanish too )

Thanks, I try to buy some of this books !!

[blklacquer]

i remember that first video i was really surprised that you were self-taught and only in a couple of years!! I love hot topic eyeliners!! I tell you what you make it look EASY!! A lot of the gurus here are self taught..I think you guys are the best!!

[Canuka]

Omg, I've always been obsessed with anything by Kevyn Aucion! I'm so glad that you posted that. Making Faces is my fave!

[TAINAGREEN2009]

Self teaching is the best way, i been doing that for about an year ive gotten alot better, hopefully i cn become as great as you if not better, hehe :3

[Lunaperuana]

I <3 Kevyn Aucoin! May he RIP

[walkaway1212]

[elocin2008g]

how do I prevent the NW45 from turning me into a umpa lumpa by the face (orange). I had a thought of using NC45 or NC50 studio fix plus powder over my NW45 fix fluid. What do you think give my some input please.

[prettygirl10458]

I love you Josh!!! Actually I'm sucking at doing make up's but since I watched all your videos I improve so much. I refer you to my friends as well.. I look up to you on make up! U r the best!

and how good you are at what you within a few years, i mean 04 was six years ago, and you are sooo good at doing makeup now, especially without professional training :)

[milooshey]

You should look at Cure Style Council videos since you mentioned you also look at Japanese music magazines :D. Mostly visual kei styles but is pretty nice :D but I'm sure you've probably heard of or looked at these before. okay bye~

[myserenityspa]

Thank you so much! I have some of those books! I am self taught also. I would love for you to see my work and get your opinion. I will send you my info

[TaniaPR44]

LOVE the necklace ; )

[AkaPeaches7]

@AkaPeaches7 It says, "We're All Mad Here," from Alice in Wonderland :)

[ave5ry]

thanks for all the tips you have in your video, especially the halloween/fantasy ones. your very talented! keep up the good work! :)

[Danica028]

i love the way your eyebrows switch and lift up and down! :)

[snoopymkp]

I just LOVE your personality:)

And its amazing that you taught yourself everything!!

You truly are an inspiration:)

[xtiiinax]

YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[javajunkie101]

I am so happy that I found your channel by accident. I have the Kevyn Aucoin books as well and use them religously. I was happily shocked when you mentioned Marshall Field's because I am an Illinois resident and went to MF's. Never saw at the ones I went to, but that is ok. You are on You Tube, and it is fab. I'm subscribing!

[MissJiGsSong]

Necklase +.+

Kisses=)

[Liliesfly]

Hi,

I really admire you! We share a very similar history. You are a sharp cookie. Beautiful Smile.

[Cozzycoo]

Im learning the say way you did, by looking at magazines, watching videos (xparkage), looking at random celeb pics and models etc. Its better learning yourself cos then you can obvs experiment on yourself. But now Im hoping to practice on my friends to help with my photography :)

[HarleyQuinn777]

i love you :)

[mstiffanydmunn]

so i hope i meet you at the parade this month! are you going?

well, i think you're hilarious sometimes and love the vids! keep it up:)

[pablogal88]

YOU LOOK LIKE ASTON FROM JLS!! A BRITISH BAND!

[NatariiChun]

I just realized in all of your videos you say "HEY EVERYONE! Alright, so...-" XD

[LexxxtacyXlush]

I MUST HAVE YOUR NECKLACE!!!!

on another note, you are amazing for being self taught. i think self taught is better because you learn things your own way instead of having "rules" to follow.

[XxCrAzYeMoLoVexX]

ur voice in the other vid is so cute :) <33333 youh petrilude<333

[SarahSWeber]

Your teeth are perfect..... :-D

Please keep making them :)

[twixxer]

[chrisoulicius]

[omega668]

[therealgemstone]

[HotTopicXxX]

Hehe I fell in love with your necklace, and since my birthday is this thursday my dad ordered it for me (: I love your videos! <3 Don't stop being so amazing Joshua!! <3

[ioana6478]

The video with Kevyn Aucoin pronouncing his name himself is named "Kevyn Aucoin Beauty Part 2". Pronounced...Oh-Kwah. It's French. Love him...God rest him.

[xMalnoia]

CURE and Z!NK are amazing. I'm a huge Visual Kei fan.

[Irisheyes2626]

I just cant take my eyes off your eyebrows in this video. They just dont stop moving :)

[Gabumblebee]

Haha I feel stupid but could anyone tell what his necklace said? ;)

[elbowbaby]

we're all mad here :)

[Shitsuren]

Sweet. I heart the Japanese VK scene magazines, too. Do you like the ones like ShoXX and Cure and stuff?

[MsNymphetamin]

I love ur neckless, i'm jealous ;) And i also love ur teeth, jealous again :)

OMG u love Japanese music? I do xD All hail to anime ;)

[xilixnicexilix]

awsome

[temaripower]

i love japanese music and magazines too!!! (i just love japan :P)

[MissChriss82]

Great VID!!! Our "makeup" lives really parallel each other in terms of training. I, myself, have a Art background, attending a performing and visual arts junior/ senior high school...and basically I'm self taught! That's awesome. Oh, and I'm from Chicago too, so that's awesome. Love this vid.

[MDianAdams]

do you think you have a better career as a makeup artist or a hair dresser?

[Leslielovebug]

i like japanese magazines too!

[xxxHollyxWoodxxx]

lol at 6:16 ! i def wana pick up some of those books!

[MufasasMommy]

Wait, found it (the necklace) on Etsy, smooches!

[MufasasMommy]

OMG, where did you get that necklace?

[IvoryLeague]

[jess0shep]

[maugrimaleficia]

why does he move his mouth like that when he speaks?

[skullzy1]

im 13 and i wanna be a make-up artist, my family think im crazy because ive been wearing make-up since i was 11. They think im to young to wear it and know what i want to do. I really love make-up and would love to be able to do it proffesionally. Like you i had to teach my self, so i will definatly buy some of these books. Which one do you recomend ?

[Brissa47]

Where did you order those magazines?

[Lika257]

your face,, it's just so perfect ♥

[xjapinaybbyxakiyamax]

thats very cool. like me i am a artist im 16 now but when i started doing makeup it was faily easy for me, my older sister ask ME for tips lol, but yea i had to learn by myself as well.

[b0ygrinder]

i went to school with a guy his last name was "aucoin" and we always said it like "O COIN" :)

[AshKatalyst]

i love this video of yours. it really gives me the total confidence of continuing my passion for makeup with being self taught. Since i couldnt afford to go to a makeup school. thanks for sharing! appreciated much! :))

[dublinbetch]

great video...!! the last 20 seconds are really funny...!!

[shannlcooper]

I like how you lift up the left side of your mouth when you talk. It's kind of mesmerizing, LOL.

[nichya11]

i see your mouth moving but all i can hear is 'blah blahblah blahblah'

[Ixlovexsharpies]

As much as I absolutely love you - Michelle Phan will always be my make up goddess.

[heartfaithalive]

Your eyebrows are very animated.

[mfnoriega]

Kevin "Aw-Kwan" :-) Great video, especially your books!!! Thanks for the info!

[megs060708]

what kind of art?

[JinCouture]

I love that you are almost completely self taught! I was def waiting for "I went to the Chicago School of blah blah blah" or "Pivot Point" even. Because if so, I was going to rush over there and finally build up the courage to sign up. (Being as I am from Chicago as well :D) Lol.

But yeah, loved this video. It gave me, as a just starting out make up artist, a lot more confidence than I've ever had.

P.S. Which Hot Topic did you work at, lol, I think that is where I may have recognized you from.

[misssxcgirl1995]

i want to eat your cheeks.

[babiixvi]

i love ALL of the videos you do, and i admire the creativity/time you put into your creations. (: love your work, love your style & i LOVE LOVE LOVE your necklace<3 lol

[EdenArcane]

Wow I found this to be so informative!! I can't wait to order some books :)

And I agree I want your necklace!

[chocolatcream07]

hi!! I studied cosmetology,my teacher taught me the foundations of makeup, but i always wanted to learn more, as do stage makeup, personifications, runaway, etc, so I started looking on my own.

Now in my spare time I make up my self, and sometimes I make a mess up of my makeup, but I think it is learned.

I am from Cancun, Mexico. I love your videos and also your way of being eccentric ;)

You always do your tutorials very funny, thanks for share your experiences

[lolpie02]

You look very nice today.

[MistressLaurie]

So jealous of your necklace! Where'd you get it? :) xx

[26JuicySparx]

@MistressLaurie He just recently talked about it in his jewlery video! hope this helped!!

[JamieJTaime]

@MistressLaurie He has a vid "My Precious Jewels",where he talks about where he gets his stuff-that is included! ^^

[MistressLaurie]

@JamieJTaime awesomage, thanks! x

[mad4mileygirl]

@MistressLaurie hot topic ( i know because i have one )  ;) if you dont know what hot topic is its a goth store in the mall :D

[stlm84]

[colorfulisa]

Wow, you really seem like you went to school to learn all the costume make up. You're really good at it.

[vjb1988]

Ya cause Hot Topic WAS cool once!

[shellar85]

where do you work now?

[BenisuHime]

The fact that you look at Cure magazines...Makes me love you. xD Even more than I did ten seconds ago. :3

[MrsJoeyTribbiani]

That's amazing that you taught yourself. I'm pretty much YouTube taught and yours are some of my favorites. :D

[MelissaViau]

Well I can tell you that for someone who never took make-up classes, you are really good even for the special effects. And I would know cause I took classes for all the different make-up use :) So good job!

[SlurmItsAddictive]

i need that necklace bitch!

[trixiegirl63]

Luv your videos...you are soo helpful and genuine...thnx

[Glamourislife]

i didnt see your last video, but this deff gives me hope. I have similar background, and am just doing what i can to go forward in life. :) thanks

[shesonthemove]

Thanx for sharing!

[Zelzega]

I have Making Faces and Face Forward and adore them. They're the books that got me into experimenting with shapes of brows and lips.

[SadStatueDK]

Luuuuuuw (yeah, that's how much I love it - it's better than "love" it's "luuuw") the necklace! <3

[snyliram]

You are so talented! I'm glad you pursued makeup because now you can share all you're amazingness with the rest of the world :)

[lomonicole]
