This a brilliant breath of fresh air. Being an influencer since 2010, I feel sad for subsequent generations. I toyed with filters at first, when you could very much tell they were fake, but now it has gotten very out of hand. I want to show my age and natural features. Aging and imperfect features need to be normalized for everyone. No one looks like a caricature in real life.
That's so sweet of you. I have never seen a single comment like that as you said you want to show your natural self no matter what age you are. I can't describe how uplifted you made my mind by this mere thought of yours. Such a rare personality you're. ❤️ I hope you grown and grow.
A point to consider is that many of these beauty trends are not necessarily improvements. People are usually choosing to look different instead of objectively better or more beautiful. For those who are younger and lost here is a simple mental exercise to check. I want you to imagine yourself 20 years from now still lovely, but after at least 10 major beauty trends of face and body types have come and gone. Imagine looking back at pictures of yourself and remembering the things you thought about cosmetically changing. Would you cringe at trying to get a nose job for the instagram face? Of course you would. That is a good barometer.
Well said. I'm reminded of the graphic novel Skim, where the title character doesn't fit the (white, thin, blonde) beauty standards of her school...while her own looks are straight out of ukiyo-e.
Hello Haley! Watching now… having a fuller face is always a (universal) sign of beauty and youth, that trend is very dumb. Oscar Wilde said something like” A trend is such a ugly thing that they have to change every few months”😂
Thank you so much for this video. Actually, as I was watching one of your videos recently, I said loudly: her nose is so pretty. While in my mind, I started to compare myself to you. Sometimes we just want to "upgrade" ourselves, but, we can not really do that by comparing ourselves to others. Maybe we could be the best version of ourselves individually.
I had insecurities about my appearance my whole life, considering myself ugly and stuff. But never ever had I thought about plastic surgery to fit in with what was considered beautiful. My dad died when I was 12. I have his face. And he looked a lot like my grandpa. Why would I want to change that? Why would I want anyone to love and cherish any other face but mine, and the long history it has - acne scars, regular scars, wrinkles and all?
I really love that you have spoken about this. I am inspired by you because you have always encourage us to embrace our natural features. I am slowly learning to do so :) We need more people like you!
Looking the social media and comparing myself with them are the dumbest things I've ever done.I try not to conpare with others.That's the hardest things.
Hello Haley, maybe i don't know you in person but thank you so much, because of your videos I feel like more confident about myself, my insecurities, and understand that not everyone needs to be perfect. Just be the best version of ourselves is more than enough, and I'm sorry about my English cause it's my third language. Once again thank you so much, love.
woa i didn’t realize creators could even do that but i appreciate and actually love that u blurred their faces 😲 more creators should do this !! tysm ♡
That's why I adore you Ms. Haley you are really something. U made it seem more with being less. Great insight, please continue having this kinds of contents.
Thank You for this video. Just looking at pretty pictures it's easy to forget how differently we would perceive the person in real life. How much their behaviour and individuality creates their attractiveness, not just compliance with current trends.
I've been off of Instagram for a year now and I don't have tiktok and I try to enter RU-vid shorts as little as possible and I love myself more even tho I gained weight and such . I'm not on the side of media that these trends come to . I go on international media in English but I also realize these trends don't really affect my country . Mostly probs bcs we don't have that much spare money to spend on these procedures but also no one around you would support you on such a decision . well these lip fillers are quite possible tho but I don't think other than face procedures I don't think its common
Haley: Could you do a video series on *olive undertone* makeup? I'm cool olive medium and all olives are under-represented in this industry. Thanks for all your content!
@@mehh9364 It's more about identifying it. It needs to be more thorough to address the spectrum of warm, neutral, and *cool* olive undertones and exploring/showing how the same color can look completely different on each of the three, then what colors actually compliment each olive undertone expanded to include fair, medium, and dark skintone. This can easily make for a series or dedicated channel.
wonderful video and thank you bring this awareness up especially to those who are younger. my sister always uses a filter for her selfies and posts it online. I just can't, it's so fake. yeah makeup is fun but damn, I just want to be me. be me without or very very little makeup and not stress over what the hell I look like. getting older I'm like just F it all and idgaf! just wanna be the real me! and I love my round face shape! I got that from my mama ♥️ sorry I've been in a F it all mood lately 😅
I start to think that 'knowing much' especially on social media is not healthy, not knowing sometimes is better, i reguraly take a break from social media when i feel this is too much
What makes me mad is that there are some certain influencers and celebs and (fan pages of celebs too)are there with so much of insecurities and they would make contents like where loving yourself is come a disclaimer. What i meant to say it's that...their contents are like Disclaimer... love yourself, you are perfect as you are, nothing is wrong with you babes... then they they would be like "ok now let's follow a useless trend to make ourselves feel better out of the useless insecurity which should not be a insecurity in first place" but keep in mind love yourself you are perfect as you are! This thing trigger me so much I think everyone should give sometimes to their selves without thinking about any other person which they compare to their selves without realising they are comparing too... which totally not needed No social media and other stuff just completely giving time to their selves and living a simple & free everyday life
You are the first influencer who is focusing on this topic that I have seen.. I also feel for a long time ady, maybe since Covid started spreading, so we had a lot of time on scmd. Tysm for this video. It cheers me up a lot. I have Depression and I got compared to other children since I was young. It is so hard to get rid of this comparing habits, plus nowadays scmd is so impactful.
영상 보고 오랜만에 댓글 남깁니다! 헤일리님의 멋지고 선한 영향력이 담긴 영상들은 저에게도 정말 큰 inspiration이에요🥹 헤일리님 영상 보면서 파운데이션 프리도 도전하게 되었고, 이제는 색조를 많이 덜어낸 자연스러운 메이크업을 더 많이 시도하게 되었답니다! Less is more 라는 헤일리님의 가치관에 영향을 받아 저도 어느새 화려하고 진한 메이크업이나 유행하는 트렌드가 아닌 제 본연의 모습을 더 살릴 수 있는 것들에 더 집중할 수 있게 되었어요. 오늘 영상도 잘 시청하고 갑니다!❣️
Why can't people understand that beauty is not the reason why somebody else will respect, like or love you. Beauty may in some cases help to open doors, but once you opened the door and stepped inside it's not beauty which determines if you are welcome to stay.
It's really hard not to compare yourself to people who have better lives than you do. There are people who have harder lives than I do but whenever I think about it, my inner voice tries to shut me down and pushes me to think about the other lives that I envy. We need to remember the good things in our lives. Maybe writing can help us if our brains are too loud. I've heard this advice from lots of people and it can be really effective. Alternatively, we could focus on the bigger picture, rather than just the simple social stuff that makes us feel down. We could focus on science, literature, or philosophy. I think this is the most effective way to shift our perspective.
Ever since I first started to watch your videos I've been feeling more confident!!! BTW, will we have a makeup tutorial on today's makeup look? Literally gorgeous!
Its crazy how everyone wants to look the same, like these filters. It makes me sick… This is so sad. I wish we could all embrace our differences and see the beauty in all
Thanks for making this types of video its really really helpful like I don’t look at me in negative way but sometimes its just feels like i am not enough i am not growing and what will gonna happed like everyone is doing so great but i am not doing anything but after watching your video I understand that no everything is different i am thinking wrong so thanks you very much for making this types of video and please make more this type of video like self growth and insecurity that you don’t have to insecure about this type of video 😊 and take care ❤
IMO an important step is not just unplugging from social media, but finding opportunities to actively observe what people look like in real life. Go the grocery store! Meet friends! And if you can't literally get outside, documentaries are a good source too.
why do someone even want to be drop dead gorgeous dont they scared that ppl wont leave them alone and their intrinsic values will often be overlooked. . .
I think most people nowadays really forgetting the difference between real and reel like due to these filters and due to the heavy amount of time people spend on these apps creates this fake image of what real or what's a normal human looks like (i.e nearly perfect no pores clear and even skin sculptured nose and smaller jaw plum lips ) but if you step back and look around you will realise it can't be far from truth
There are also the ones like myself who look horrible with all those filters and the thaught that I am uncorrectible ugly appeared in my mind 😅 it took a little to make the shift in my mind and reaccept my own beauty 😊
I recently turned off the active/inactive status on insta because I noticed I was just mindlessly scrolling while waiting for some people to be active and text back- hopefully this helps me just use insta whenever I really want to
