9:30 "now the text has come away slightly so i will definately caption its correct title as i am hesitant to articulate its the exact number in fear that i may deviate from the highest degree of accuracy"
prince soonyoung hey. I'm a non-native speaker. What I understood from this text is that the name of the brush is written so small on the brush so he can't actually tell the correct name of it and doesn't want to give us the wrong information since he's not so sure. Is it true or not? Lol
Honestly listening to somebody with a very articulate speech pattern makes me, a monolingual native English speaker, legit helps me be a bit more articulate myself.
I know our worlds will never collide, and we prob have very little in common, but I can't help but watch ur vids and think to myself that you are one of the most interesting people on RU-vid…I think I'd watch you read words out of the dictionary. You are obviously a greatly talented artist and a creative soul. Keep up the awesome vids!!!
I wish John could do the voice for the GPS directions on google maps. A long time ago when AOL was needed to access the Internet using a dialup modem...and dinosaurs roamed the earth....they came out with extra voices you could download to change the "You've got mail." announcement. There were about 6 and all various celebrities, and I liked the one that was by Mick Jagger that said, " Ya got some letters." It was so comforting and lovely compared to the computerized voice blaring at you.
MommyOfZoeAndLiam what?! i never knew you could change the voice on aol mail. do you remember what year this was around? I was born in ‘96 and I think I started using aol in 2004 (no clue why i was 8 with an e-mail address, probably for games😂)
Hard to believe John is so young! His vocabulary, impeccable manners and maturity is beyond his years. I also adore how witty he is and how he doesn’t take himself too serious when he reads the comments, he has such a fantastic sense of humor. I hope he’s around for a long time. He’s so different and refreshing compared to all the clone like “beauty gurus” in RU-vid. John is a TREASURE!
Yay or Nay - some googling led me to an article from 2012 that stated he was, then, 18. That would mean he actually just celebrated his 25th, I believe? In any case, though he graciously jokes along with people’s assertions he’s an immortal, there’s no denying he is an old soul and thoroughly ethereal.
@@mirielle20 Mortals have not the ability to conceptualize factual historical events which prove that the phrase "old soul" was given to beings that never truly died. Their exact likness would be presented in statue, portraits, and journals throughout centuries. Families would have these marvelous beings noted eon after eon after eon in family bibles, always noted with odd symbols. You say "old soul" John says 2800 + years. I believe John, I am 3300 years.
I literally don't care about makeup or wear it. But there's something about someone being so enthusiastic and articulate about their work that draws me in and makes me pay attention. Thanks for helping me procrastinate on my studies 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
binge watching your videos, today i tried color correction on dark circles (brown skin) as per your instruction with orange concealer, only correcting the needed areas with a brush as opposed to the entire undereye under a light foundation. What a difference it made!! thank you for do being so inclusive and thorough in your videos and discussing things that work for various skin tones.
Being a poor student, I'm sometimes put off by the prices of many brushes and tools recommended by youtubers. While I doubt I'll be buying many of these particular brushes anytime soon, I think you've explained what's useful about them wonderfully. I'll be looking out for cheaper brushes with similar traits until I can afford some of the brushes you've recommended.
Kaplands real techniques and wet n wild brushes are great. Remember John is a professional makeup artist. You don't need so big of a collection just to do your own makeup
Kaplands Also, I don't know what country you're in, but in the US, we have a place called Marshalls, where they sell designer clothes, accessories, and skincare for super cheap. I recommend Eco Tools brushes, and I can usually find sets there for way cheaper than sometimes even two new brushes at Ulta or Wal-Mart. So, you can start a small collection for wicked cheap. Also, Claire's makeup brushes are apparently manufactured by the same company, and totally worth looking into. Love the kabuki brush I got from them. :)
Kaplands do what we used to do in the 60s because there was hardly any synthetic brushes everything was Sable and I still believe they're the best to work with go to an art supply house and buy artist brushes they come in all the sizes of of a makeup brush in fact I think the Makeup Company copy them so and you'll find that they'll last forever and ever and ever and they're they're they're expensive but probably nothing like some of these brushes now
I have been working as a self taught makeup artist for years now, so my recommendation for affordable brushes would be :Coastal Scents brushes ( they has one of the most amazing brush kit I have ever seen) , Royal and Langnickel brushes are sold in Walmart . E.L.F , Ecotools also 2 great brand to try. And I do have an advice for beginners makeup artist that buy 2 brush set instead of 1v because you in big job or doing makeup on lots of people you won't even have time to spot clean brushes. Girls with attitude ( UK brand) is all so a good brand
May I suggest a video on skin prep / getting your canvas ready? I would love to hear what steps you take on clients of different skin types to ensure that the makeup goes on smoothly and evenly.
09:35 “Im hesitant to articulate the exact number of it in fear I may deviate from highest degree of accuracy” OMG I have to find a way to use this fantastic language in my life!!!
I love that I can binge watch 20 of his films and in those 20 films experience some of the most deep wisdom I have heard in years, the best sense of humor without ONE slip of vulgarity, and the best beauty advice out of all the videos I have ever watched in all of my existence!! Thank you so very much, John, for your films that are of the most highest quality of content 😄🤗🤓 You are a legend!! 😙
Holy Deep Fried Chtulhu. A beauty professional who never mentionned Morpthe in a video about Brushes.............. Jesus is snapchatting his astonishment.
Wow! There's something I take from this great video,and is make up is NO JOKE when is taken seriously and professionally, like you do. I got overwhelmed by the amount of brushes and their purposes... It's almost like a theory class in college XD
yesterday I was binge watching John's videos (and the day before that...and the day before that lol) and I am SOOO glad he's at 400k!!! Hope he hits a million this 2019!!!! I"M SO EXCITED!
If you're looking for replacement tweezers, the Tweezerman for Laura Mercier are smashing. They have a round open oval on the handle where your finger pads fall into, and the ends have a very good, flat grip (as well as being sharp!)
I think this video actually put John's makeup into perspective for me because he talks about a variety of different techniques he chooses not to use in his own makeup. There are things I would change in his own personal makeup but it makes alot of sense that he chooses exactly how he wants to look and is still open minded to other techniques that he feels wouldn't suit him. He's able to separate his personal style from his clients specifications to provide a look that isn't his style. That's something I admire
Oh my sweet baby Jesus! 😳😳😳😳😳😳 why am I JUST learning of this BEAUTIFUL, ANGEL!? 😳🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I am FOR REAL, MESMERIZED by ….. EVERYTHING about him! 👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳👩🦳 so beautiful and intelligent- even dare I say he is the ONLY definition of sophistication there is or ever will be! I love this! My grandmother told me the other night she had to buy another eyeshadow brush because my niece had lost hers….. I laughed so hard because the fact she only uses ONE as she’s in her 70s but I told her I have 8 sets and a whole set or maybe 2 of just single brushes from different brands - she couldn’t believe me so I HAVE to show her this and introduce John into her life! I know she will ADORE HIM!
You are the very definition of professional, no nonsense, educational and comforting. Seriously. I watch and learn something new every, single, time. Thank you !!
Reminds me of Alex from orange is the new black with glasses...although I think you're far more attractive and polished. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos for us ✨
You deserve loads more subscribers!!! You're content is absolutely wonderful and extremely educational! Unlike some of these "beauty gurus" who have millions of subscribers and their videos consist of promo codes and unoriginality. Love you!!!!
You are a master piece! Everything from your face, annunciation, presentation is immaculate. I've commented on your amazing eyes in another video but your lips and teeth are also works of art. You my dear are perfection immortalized 🌹
You have the most beautiful dark hair. As a fellow light skinned and dark haired person, I'd love to see a video of yours dedicated to makeup and clothing colors for winter complexions. I tend to wear mostly black but I'd be very curious to know what colors you find most flattering. Also, I'd love to see a black hair dye routine video. Unless you are naturally black haired, and in that case I am very jealous!! 🖤🖤🖤
I loved this! It's fascinating as well as informative to hear what tools you rely on when you're working. And of course, listening to your voice makes me want to put my feet up with a mug of coffee in hand. Great video!
Peter Monn recommended you. You are fantastic. Knowledgeable, professional and so enjoyable to watch. Your shades of black wardrobe was a great comment that you made in another video. Ty for sharing with us. Wishing you great success
Such useful information on how, why and when to use a particular brush. I’m going to try varying my brushes more and hopefully it will result in something more subtle and artistic. You are mesmerizing as per usual. THANKS 🙏
This is very strange and random but I would absolutely love to hear a conversation between John and Stephen Fry. I feel like that would be incredibly interesting.
I was so pleased to see this directional video. I was viewing some of your other films and truly I was scrolling down to post a request for just this same topic when I saw the title. I had previously scanned through your listings and must have just missed this. Thank you ever so much.
I am so relaxed right now I feel like I've had a glass of wine. John needs to do more videos. This one is over a year old. But the principles of makeup I learned are timeless. I want all these brushes!
I’ve always felt that my grammar and general way of speaking is at least exceptional, perhaps above average even (especially nowadays, even more so online), but hearing you speak completely negates that. 😂 I highly doubt that anyone speaks as well as you do. What a remarkable and fascinating human you are. Came here for makeup... leave with I don’t even know what exactly. Enlightenment, I suppose!
This is a very informative, useful film. Lord Maclean looks amazing! He is the only makeup artist that I have ever seen that does not look as though he is wearing highlighter--he just GLOWS! I aspire to achieve this look.
Would you consider creating a film regarding acne/acne scarring and pigmentation and makeup application to create a more perfected base? I’d love to hear how you work with clients who may have skin issue such as this!
I used to be a strong believer to beauty blender (had bought it 3 times already) and after watching ur video, i started using brush to apply and stipple the foundation. SURPRISINGLY IT LOOKS SO SEAMLESS BETTER THAN USING BEAUTY BLENDER. I used the cheap china brand brush, something that i bought but i never used before. And i dont think it's for foundation (maybe for contour because it's rectangular) but because it's packed very tightly and soft, I found that my foundation is not cakey, yet still provide medium to full coverage. On my next payday i will buy the zoeva brush
dissysissy THIS. I have one beauty blender. It is unused. I use only brushes to apply foundation, concealer, powder, everything. I contour with them as well. I forced myself to buy a BB bc I saw so many beauty gurus use them but I can't bring myself to use it. I don't want to. You and John make me feel less badly about it. Lol
Lol, I had a little laugh when you showed the small powder puffs. I that I was the only makeup artist who used them on my pinky finger, to keep from touching or smudging the makeup. I definitely dislike leaving a finger print behind and the having to fix it. I also dislike makeup on my fingers because it feels rather troublesome. Also, from one makeup artist to another I'm going to leave a tip as I have absorbed many if yours. I like to carry bath and body works hand wash for cleaning brushes, sponges and the like. It a rather gentle cleaner and since it has an oil base it's conditioning as well. It's also amazing for removing foundations which tend to be a little more water resistant.
I would love to see a video about your routine for washing and hanging your brushes or whether you dry them flat- it would also be cool to see a ‘kit’ video and show us your actual storage system! Thank you for being you.
My grayshes so wonderful told John I’ve never had anyone explain brushes 2 me like this I’ve learned so much thank u so very much u r so gorgeous sending bazillion hugs y besos
Every time I have to confront somebody about an issue, I watch a few of John’s videos to help me articulate how I’m feeling and feel more confident in what I’m saying
This is absolutely incredible! It makes me want to become a makeup artist. :) I would adore a new natural-looking makeup for men video where the man is showing some signs of age (e.g., dark circles, dropping eyelids, fine lines). Thank you! XO
