hola soy mexicana a pesar de que no entiendo el ingles te haces entender muy bien solo quisiera pedirte por favor que pongas algunas formas de maquillaje para personas de piel morena gracias
hola soy de mexico y soy tu fan y admiradora aunque no entiendo porque solo hablo español me gustaria nos dijeras la funcion de todas brochas y pinceles y maquillaje para novias y quinceañeras eres excelente
I'm a new subscriber, and I know this is WAY late, but I had to say I liked FILMLOGIC's idea. If they're local, indie bands, they're unlikely to even HAVE a copyright on their stuff just yet (which goes around one problem right there) and by giving them a credit at the end (with a link to a site or myspace page or whatever), they're bound to find more people interested in their music. Win-win. :D
I think you should do a voice over format with music from bands that would give you the right to play the music (indie bands) you can also show a slide show or pictures of yourself in spots that require beats. I'm glad you're back.
I'm trying hard to get a mi lady eyeshadow for the purple smokey eyes you made, but it's quite difficult to find, is there any other mac color that could work?
i saw each and every tut on you tube..baby u the best trust me ...no one can even get close to u francine i lov u....my husband thinks i m crazy ....yes i m for uu...lov u soo much..just bcoz of you i can doo my makeup soo perfectly.and mac is having good bussiness in canada ...hahahha coz of me lol
Talk through you are doing your make-up. Question: Can you please provide a list with all the products that you use, from prime to mascara. I don't want miss one part of the make-up process, so it is easier if you post a list of everything. Tks. I love your makeup
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
your gaining weight.. sorry but umm yeah.. love your makeup though.. i do a pretty good job myself.. i think im gonna start doing vids.. good luck to meeh...;)
okay...you are a replica of one of my best friends from high school, i actually thought you were her, we have been out of touch for quite some time, but anyways her name is Jennifer Goodroe, somehow down the line yall have to be related, virtual clones i tell ya!
I just found your videos about aplying eyeshadow..can you do one for just eyeliner? like how to apply my skin colo hair and eyes are the same as yours your videos are awesome
Ever give any thought to having a signature song you use from maybe a small local band or band on an indie label that you can get permission to use pretty easily? There are tons of bands that will allow you to use their work if you just give them credit.
Francine your hair looks great! Short is definitely in again. I am looking forward to your new tuts. I have already recreated so many of your looks, and have been receiving many compliments. When they ask where I learned of the look, I simply send them your link ;) Talk about great PR work huh? Congrats on all your good news. Who knew so much could happen in one month?
ku'uipo-- I think the live talking is a plus. There are many people that I subscribe to that are chatterboxes, and, in my opinion, it's better than silence.
LIVE TALKING OR you could also FEATURE NEW ARTISTS who would agree to provide their music for your use. I might know a couple. The only disadvantage would be that you have to spend extra time listening to their music in order to find whatever suits your needs...love the way how you did your videos so far!
Why don't you ask your fans to submit original songs with permission to use during your videos. That way they may get some added exposure as you will too!
Congrats! Lots of exciting stuff going on for you. I was wondering where you were. Thanks for the updates and I would love to see your vids live so we can see how you blend etc.
You could always purchase stock music. That's basically music that you can use without copyright infringment. They use it for commericals all the time. If you google it you can surf around for it and see what is cost effective for you. Just a thought!
You could use the old old music that is part of the public domain. Public domain music has no copyright because the artist has been dead for over 70 years.
So exciting! I'm jazzed about the new site :D I vote live talking for your videos, but ultimately it should be whatever you're most comfortable with. Welcome back!
I don't understand few of your videos like this one because I am deaf. But, some people commented that they want live videos. If you plan to have live videos, can you please continue using "captioned" like you did all of your eye shadow tutorials. Your eye shadow tutorials rocks! :-)
heheh ur adorable <333 as for copy writed music, one of my pole gals had the same problem so she uses non copywrited music, how ud find out what those are.. i dunno : \ but best of luck!!
Anyways why don't you try to do both and wait for responses? Or use music in the background...like from ur comp (itunes) or radio, they can't prohibit that, right??
I say live, besides you can only talk for 10 min at a time, hehe. I had to giggle, your comments about talking and talking in your vlogs. Isn't that what it's all about? lol Love the "chit chat" so to speak :o). I'm curious about the music. What about if you are listening to the radio? Still considered infringement? Love your tuts!
I am so so glad that you are back!! I would enjoy live videos but really I would love anything as long as I see you :) I am so glad that so many good stuff is happening with you<33 Missed you a lot!!
Do I really? Hmm...that's weird cause I always feel sorta giddy...but I'm also kinda shy sometimes so maybe that's why it comes across as depressed maybe? I dunno. :)
*waves* Hey girl, so glad you are back! Could you just record the video like usual with music in the background? Or is it strictly no music period? My opinion is that it would be better without the voice over.
I definitely prefer the option of true live video where you apply makeup & talking during the appplication process, but for the same reason why you don't want to do it just because I think it's better you being a chatterbox & talking us through a tutorial coz it's more entertaing & we get to see who you are & enjoy your colorful personality, which is also the reason why we love your videos! =)
I second that. I know you follow Enkore and I have seen him do both so I guess what you are teaching then you can decide how you want to deliver your video's.
I have noticed on some of the other girls channels that are part of the partnership as well, I am pretty sure they still have music in their videos, just an FYI. :0)
I perfer the live videos.
I dont like the voice overs for the exact reasons you explained. :0)
I think a live thing would be better because personally I would learn or get it better that way!! I think talking is fine and who cares if you talk girl! What is the benefit of being a youtube partner? I see that alot of ppl are starting to do this now so what is the purpose? Take care and I hope your happy with whatever kind you want to do! Bye
I like the talking ones....they're way more entertaining :-) and as far as your blog goes, how about product reviews or your likes/dislikes as far as make up goes...that sorta thing :-)
You could give product reviews of what you are applying to keep yourself on track...or you could also look into garageband...it's a program and you can make your own music!
Congratulations..... I just subscribed to your vodeos. I must say there great. I do have a request. Can you do any vidoes when you prep your makeup. As far as any primer you use before you apply foundations, concealers. I don't use any mac foundations they actually break my face out very bad. But any tips you may have would be great. More skin care advices. I also think you should talk. I don't think it would be boring.
I have an idea, I see there are thousands of ppl on youtube with their music channels, and I think they'll love you to have their songs..that way you help them to promote their music and you get benefit by their copyright..and that won't change so much the way you use to have your vids, ps:your hair is nice, I cuted mine too but i am usually quiet curly..like you!!
I would say to only do voice over if you are running short on time. A birdie told me that they can't stop you from playing music on the radio or tv in the background. *looks around sheepishly*
If the problem with music is copyright, would YT mind if you played new artists' music if you got their permission? I'm sure there are lots of people in myspace who would love their music played...just a thought.
Yeah, I think you're right.. You should talk while you're making the video. Why is the partnership so strict? Sheesh.. LOL.. In any case.. I'm glad to have you back!
It's great to have you back you were truly missed =O) now for the videos I think it would be better if you talked though them don't worry about talking too much we like it lol
