I have to agree with whoever said it’s not just about the makeup. I have watched you for soooo long. For me, there was a period of time where I went through some growing up and was becoming an adult and didn’t watch YouTube as much as I had before but I always still made time to watch your articles or at least check on you social media because you’ve always been more of a internet friend to me rather than an influencer. I think that’s what kept people coming back here. You’re so much more than just a makeup artist to those of us OG viewers. We’ve watch you go through tough times like losing your dad and I remember perusal the article then of you talking about the loss you experience and genuinely crying with my friend. You have always made me and I know so many others feel so special even though you don’t know many of us personally. You have this way of making us feel like we have a friend and what we are going through in life, we are not alone in and that’s why I love you so much.
I can’t express how happy this made me! I also don’t comment often but I have watched you since I was 12 or 13 and I am 28 now! I can confidently say you played the biggest role in my love for makeup! Which is still a huge passion of mine, my longest hobby and passion. You light up this world. I am interested in ANY articles you want to put up! I can say for myself I will always always always watch and support. You’re such an inspiration and I am thankful for you. I think of you anytime I put Vaseline on my face, which you showed us long long before this slugging trend 💕 thank you for being you Kandee🥰
KANDEE!! I started perusal you at 27 when I had 5 young kids and fell in love with you and your articles. I was cutting up all my t shirts, all the things. I turned 40 this year. My youngest is now 13. It has been the hardest year of my life due to a personal betrayal. I prayed for you with all my heart when your dad died. I have always felt like you were the sister I always needed. I don’t have TikTok, I will forever be a YouTube girl. God has used you to send encouraging words straight into my heart. I love you Kandee ❤
I feel emotional perusal this article. You were the first person who really influenced me. Till today, I drink this Norwegian fish oil, cut my t-shirts, and wash brushes with baby shampoo. I still put eye shadows over the eyeliner! I missed my Kandee. Oh, and recently Ian started following me on Insta, which was mind-blowing! So, perusal this article today is like teleporting to 2007. Nothing changed – you are still the same Kandee ❤
I’m 38 now and I’ve been perusal you since I was like 24. I had my daughter two years after Ellie was born and became a single mom. I NEEDED your articles to keep me going. I appreciated your positivity, faith, and talent. I could go on forever. I’ve always felt like we’re friends just chatting over coffee. 🤟🏻 And I know I can watch your articles around my daughter without cussing or chaos. I’d love for you and Ellie to do a young girls series so our daughters could experience the same love from you that my generation did. Chatting about dealing with all the things the younger girls deal with now. Body positivity, make up, bullying, etc.
I’ve watched you since I was in my late 20s.. I’m now 40 and the only make up website I would go to and never forget is Kandee Johnson! You’re the one who started me on the Norwegian Cod liver oil… and so much more!! I’m so glad to see your beautiful face and soul. You’re such a blessing and so much more than makeup! But because we are women, we also look forward to all the beautiful things and tricks you’ve got to share with us! You’re an amazing woman and please do not quit making YouTube articles. Reels are way too quick and have little depth… ❤
I know you asked what kind of content we want to see BUT, Kandee, we’re here for YOU! What’s kept most of us subscribed for 14 years is your fun personality, caring heart and positive outlook. You can make whatever content you feel like making whenever/wherever you feel like making it, and we’ll tune in. ❤️
I could not hit play fast enough! So happy to see your wonderful smile! YouTube is still alive and well. I would honestly stay on this platform and post more often and consistently. Don’t let the other platforms and/or new influencers intimidate you. You are so uniquely special and no one can contribute what you do in this space. Adore you, precious diamond! 💎❤🙏🏼
I’m 32 and you were the first youtuber/make-up artist and fashion influencer I got into on YouTube. I had your blog on my favorite’s tab. I looked forward to ALL of your articles! You were a huge source of inspiration and STILL are. I’m soooooo glad to see you’re back; you’re vibrance and positivity is MUCH needed and very appreciated <3 You are truly authentic and still my fav. It def is not just about the make-up.😊🙏
Hi Kandee, I don’t know if you will ever read this but I wanted to say something. I hardly comment but I felt like I have to say something. I have watched you since I was 15 or 16. And I always looked forward to your articles. You and my mom have taught me a lot about makeup. And your articles have helped when I was in a really bad place. I would always watch your articles and you made me smile. My mom recently passed away and I am still devastated by it. It hurts. And before that my brother passed away. So its been ALOT to deal with. But the first thing I did to make myself feel better is put one of your older articles on and I immediately smiled and felt better. Thank you so much for being a blessing to me, even if its just in a form of a article. Thank you for being here. Just know that you do matter. And that your work speaks for itself. I was hoping one day you would come back. 🙂 Anyways, I just wanted to say how much your articles mean to me. Thanks for listening. Love your work. Keep it up. ❤
You have no idea how happy this article made me. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know how to do my eyebrows. I miss your optimism and love. You are and we’re a different type of influencer. You can tell that you do really care about us. So please keep what your doing. Please do a makeup line. We love you.
I’ve never clicked on a article faster. Kandee is exactly what YouTube needs right now!! Your bubbly personality and kindness has been missed. It might be my age (almost 40) but I still prefer long form content and enjoy perusal anything you post. As someone closer to my age it’s easier to relate. So happy your back. ❤
I’m so glad to see you back. Your presence on YouTube has always been more than the make up for me. I came across you in my early 20’s when I was isolating myself from the world after I was SA’d. You’re kind words and positive outlook helped me through that dark time and helped me push through and continue to stay optimistic. Also made me feel like it was ok to want to look and feel beautiful again. I just wanted to say thank you for being you! And showing what true beauty is and the makeup is just a fun creative bonus.
One thing that will never change and sets you apart from others is how unbelievably kind you are. You have definitely helped me through some dark & difficult times, and for that, I am so thankful. You are truly a precious gem, Kandee. You will always be one of my biggest idols. Not just for your talent and beauty, but for your huge, pure, sparkly heart.
I’ve felt so depressed all weekend and seeing you pop up on Youtube immediately made my heart happier! I’ve watched you for over a decade and your tutorials taught me how to do makeup a long time ago. Please make more articles! I’ve missed you! And it’s more than just make-up! You’ve inspired my creativity and helped me find the courage to put the work and effort in to chase dreams.
I needed this today.. you took me through a time when I moved to a new state and I didn’t have that support system I had always had.. and now I’m a 37 year old momma And sometimes I spend far more time than I would like to admit trying to find someone who I want to listen to on YouTube.. I miss these articles so much.. TikTok reels and shorts have their place.. but you belong here..
I’ve watched you since 2010 and you are the reason I became inspired to get into makeup artistry. Now 13 years later I’ve have my own successful career as a sought out artist. I’ve met you a couple times and the pure genuine heart you possess is captivating. You’re so kind, it’s so refreshing. I’ll always be your supporter and follower. And what’s super awesome is we are sisters in Christ! 💜✝️
Kandee – I’m a OG subbie was super excited when you popped up to watch, but man, you’ve reminded me how old i am – i was just over 30 when I found you, I’ve been with you since day 1 (the days of dial-up and modems) and remember and love sooooo much! In the bathroom, in the bedroom, the kids, the kitchen how to wash your brushes, cutting your hair, cutting your t-shirts, and practically every makeup lesson you gave us – for free! Most importantly though, I remember how you made me feel – which was always warm and fuzzy. You reminded us today, like you did back in the day we’re more beautiful and talented and loved than we know – and just hearing that day after day, year after year made me believe it. 👩❤👩❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎Love you haven’t changed the way you talk, what you say, the room settings. Yes please, please, please keep giving us the long-form articles – the type you need a cup of tea to settle in for. By the way, the garlic, balsamic oven roasted broccoli from a year or so back is still THE BEST way EVER to eat broccoli ! It’s in rotation here every fortnight. Bless you Kandee J love you heaps – your girl from Melbourne xox♥
I can’t even type without crying. Kandee I cannot express how much you’ve helped me over the years. Your positivity and light has helped me since I was 17 years old. That’s 11 years you’ve been helping me. I’ve battled so hard with depression and your articles truly make me think of life in a new perspective. You telling us how much we matter and how special we are means so much more to me than you know. You’re the first person I’ve ever heard say anything like that to me before. I don’t come from a family where people speak to each other so kindly and mean it so deeply. Thank you so much for being you and being such an inspiration to me. I’ll watch your articles forever. You could make a article about toe nails and I’d watch because the energy you bring is so unique to you and so unmatched. You’re truly a gift to this world and I’m so thankful I found you at such a time when I needed you most. 💗😭
Kandee I missed you and love you so much! You are so funny, cute and relatable. Your articles are so important and I love them! I agree that “shorts” are way too short. I like to see the process of you putting on makeup and not have it fly by in two seconds without even knowing what products they use! I would love to see more tips/tricks for the older ladies. I am 43 and, like you, want to look like a baby 😂💖🌈🥳
I’ve missed you a lot love! You helped me through so much over the years. I’ve been perusal you from the beginning. Your positivity and strength are your superpowers. I love your long form articles and instantly clicked on this when I got the alert. I also really loved your vlogs especially Vlogmas vlogs. Your real time get ready with me articles too or honestly anything! You belong here – you are a YouTube OG – I’ll be here whenever you do. 🥰
This was just what I needed today, thank you Kandee! I have always loved your articles and adore your longer ones so please never think you just need to do the shorts or reels, if you did a 2 hour one I’d be quite happy to watch. Your positivity and your genuine heart will always have me coming back for more. So if its you doing life updates, makeup tutorials, what’s in your bag and especially fun with the girls I’m so very much here for it. Thank you for making a not so great day better xx
I loved catching up to what you’ve been up to. I wanted you to know that I’ve found so much positivity and confidence perusal you through many years. I learned all of my makeup skills from your website and found peace in the fact that I couldn’t afford to get my daughters makeup done for prom but I have the skills to do it thanks to you 💕 she looked beautiful and we had so much fun. Thank you for all that you do!
Oh kandee! You are true gem! I have been thinking about you lately and I am so happy you posted! remember your first you tube articles and and being preggers with Ellie. And sharing your family with us. You always stood out. I also lost my dad to soon as well. Your words carried me through during an extremely hard time. I will always love you! So many prayers and a bright future for you!! ❤❤❤
Kandee, you were the first person I watched on YouTube and I got to see how you kept pushing through all of life’s things. I more so watched you, because you were like a friend in my head, so it didn’t matter to me what you posted. I was here for it, all. Don’t believe people have forgotten you or are tried of seeing you. I know I’m not. Been here since 09 and will be here, at my over 35 age. Glad you posted because your light will never be off trend. God waned the light to shine more than anything else, and that is what you bring. You are the beaming tree in the forest, that sprinkles rainbow glitter on in all who cross your path.
Love you and love this article ❤. Personally, I love longer articles and not just shorts! I watched this while I was getting ready, and it felt like talking to an old friend. 🥰 I’m so sorry you felt that there maybe wasn’t a place for you on YouTube. I have always loved your articles so much, and I’ve been perusal for years. Please don’t stop doing what you love! We love you, Kandee!
Og here! Watched since you started. I just watch cause it’s like perusal a friend and catching up with them. I like long articles or short just catching up. Tips and tricks, organizing, style tips, makeup and hair tips. They change and knowing if good or just hype is good to know. Maybe even things you have tested and could save us time. Love your positive and thanks for keeping me positive. I have bad anxiety and you help a lot. Big hugs from me to you. ❤️🤗
I couldn’t click this fast enough!!! Literally!! I’m so happy to see your smiling face in a longer article ❤ You saved me in my early 20s (2009ish) when my husband and I moved to an AF base on an island. I was newly married, newly pregnant, no friends and away from family, we had one car….that I couldn’t drive (stick shift was NOT my strong skill). THANK YOU for helping me through that time. I used to make the recipes and make my husband try them out, haha. I also enjoyed hearing about your little cupcake at the time! Hard to believe she’s 12! I have a not so little cupcake who will be 13 soon 😭😍 Talking about products, I guard my Kandee Too Face items like they are GOLD! I wish I had bought extras 😭 my favorites are melted ice cream & freshly baked lipsticks and the glow stick. I never got the chance to get the pallette 😅 I would loooove to see new products from you because I know the time and heart that would go into them would be worth the wait ❤ I hope your 2023 continues with happiness and health XOXO!!
Kandee, the most wonderful thing about you is you still have the same beautiful heart and energy that made everyone love you from the very beginning. perusal you always brings me back to high school, and now that I’m a mom, I know I would love to see your YouTube articles regularly again! You’ve always had the ability to teach makeup but also to motivate and bring light in my life 💓✨ thank you for always inspiring!
Not me crying with you 🥹🫶🏼 thank you for the love and positivity and light you share with your YouTube articles. Absolutely grateful to have found this article on my YouTube explore to find you again and all you bring with your personality and knowledge and encouragement. Sending you so so so much love ❤️
It doesnt matter where you go…people will follow you! perusal Kandee is like seeing an old friend, a family member, your ‘home’/comfortable for a LOT of people. I personally LOVE your longer content on youtube still, but know your a busy lady. You mean so much to a lot of people and thank you for still being here for all of us in whatever way, shape or form.
Kandeeeeee! I can’t tell you how much lightness this brings to my heart, body, mind and spirit. When I moved to London in 2009 you were the first YouTube make-up artist i found. You’ve brought light to dark days and now (at 42 shhhhhh), at a point where I’m trying to rediscover who I am and what I have to offer people, here you are again with perfect timing. Thank you for reminding me that we can “go be that pink little tree” ❤❤️😘 Please keep doing YouTube longer form content and bring all the tips and tricks for keeping us 40s gals shining ❤️🔥🌈
OMGGGGGG!!!!! KANDEE!!!!!!!! I can’t believe it’s you!!! Welcome back!!! I miss the ”OG Youtuber’s!” Youtube is my favorite platform. It’s been really depressing on Youtube with the makeup community disappearing. This may seem crazy, but long content at the end of the day is so relaxing, entertaining, and educational. You were and always will be a breath of fresh air needed here! Please stay! XOXOXOXO 💕💕💕
I could never not want to watch your articles! I’ve always waited for new vids and watched them all the way through, I love your articles, long short doesnt matter! I love your faith hope and strength and your honesty. Its comforting even hearing what could be heavy on your heart, because we can all relate. I’ve been perusal your vids since I was 15! Im 29 now, your vids are what introduced me to YouTube! Thank you! Love you girl!!!
Seeing this article come up made my day!! I’m an OG follower and have missed these articles. Seeing you blow up into the icon that you are has made me so proud. I’ve always had this feeling of “I know her 😊” when I see you on anything outside of YouTube. You built a family here and we are all so proud to be a part of the path you paved for every YouTuber and influencer out there! ❤
I have missed your articles! I remember when I was first diagnosed with panic/ health anxiety disorder and literally couldn’t leave my bed without thinking I was going to die. I watched every article you ever posted you helped me get back out of bed and do something with myself. I have loved you for years ❤ I can’t believe how grown your babies are now ❤
Yayyy!!! Glad you are posting on your yt again! I never got to see your makeup show dang it.. hmm where do I find it? I have been following you and loving your articles since I was like a teenager I am 32 now! ❤ I still love yt long articles!! Shorts are okay but I like the hang out feel of longer articles.
I’m still a YouTube girl, I would love your long personal articles again! This article just transported me back to my younger years when I lived with my parents, obsessed with perusal your articles, feeling like you were my virtual friend! I’ve been with you since your start, I’ve missed your articles and your positivity so much! Never mind the current beauty world trend of today, you’re still the OG classic ❤️
I’ve watched you for like 12-13 years, I have kids now, I’m a busy mama, I love your attitude, positivity, honesty, realness, AAAAND your beauty tips and content. I now have many fine lines and would love to know how in the freakin heck you can wear so many layers and have them look good close up in conversations. To answer the question, I’m on YouTube and Instagram, a tiny bit on FB and that’s it. I just love how genuine & authentic you’ve always been. Thank you!
You’re the first person I ever watched doing makeup tutorials! Little did I know back then that I would eventually quit music to pursue makeup art and although I haven’t figured out how to make a dime with it, it has transformed me and my life in so many ways! I’m on Ig but love perusal YouTube on the reg and hope to be able to make YouTube articles myself one day! I prefer long form articles. TikTok makes my 36 yr old adhd brain feel crazy so I don’t bother with it as a mental health move. In like 400 makeup looks I’ve never recreated another makeup artist’s look but one of the next things I want to do is recreate the look from the first tutorial article I ever watched and dedicate it to you because you planted a very important seed for me early on! You’re one of a kind Kandee!
YES a article on all your old ride or dies please. I like 15-25 min articles on YouTube because I watch them during cardio and cooking. Please know YES the make up tips are amazing (recently new single mom at 39) but your articles help me get through hard times over the past couple years. Thank you for being you and sharing it!
Kandee, you have a place on YouTube. Period. You are the BEST makeup artist, your personality is contagious, and I love your style of makeup. I am 35–I want someone I can watch on YouTube without me feel like I’m trying to follow some young trend. Please stop doubting yourself. I want the tried and true. I want the anti-aging tips. You are wonderful. We love you and want to see more of you if you’re willing to share. ❤
I think when you share your imperfect heart with others, they can see your real beauty. So many girls and grown women think they need to buy all kinds of makeup and designer bags and clothes because they don’t love themselves first. When we take the time to learn the proper ways to truly love and accept ourselves to the point we no longer care what anyone thinks of us, we have mastered life and become mature. This is how you help others by showing them how we grow and mature and move away from silly teenage things. For some, it involves the choice to no longer engage in social media because it is no longer a fit for who we are. Thanks for sharing your life with those looking for friendship. I enjoy your tips but also being entertained by you. You are REAL!
I’m not one to comment on YT articles but I can honestly say you changed my life when I first came across your articles! I can remember the exact first article that introduced me to beauty YouTubers and makeup as a whole. It was your Urban Decay Naked palette review. It’s so nostalgic for me to think of it but I learned to do my makeup from you. It wasn’t something my mom was ever able to teach me. She dealt with a lot of health problems. But I learned from you and perusal your articles. People to this day ask me how I became so good at makeup, and I always tell them “kandee from youtube!”
You were the first youtube make-up guru I ever watched, the number 1 OG! I even cut up my t-shirts Kandee style back in the day and wore my bandana as a hairband or around my wrist like a little Kandee-cultist! I’m 40 now and can’t believe you’re 44, you’ve barely changed at all – glad to see you haven’t pumped your face full of everything and ruined your beauty! I don’t watch youtube as much because everyone is too “professional”, I miss the old skool chatty tube and staying up perusal all your articles and reading your blog!
KANDEE!!!! Your WISDOM is what we crave and what the YouTube beauty community needs!! Thank you for posting! I’ve missed you! You are the very first makeup artist I found on YouTube in 2010. Thank you for being consistently genuine, warm, loving, I could go on and on…you are THE BEST! Don’t ever lose that spark I so love ❤ xoxo
Kandee!!!!! Girl, I have missed you. my sister and i learned all about make up from you. we were inspired by you and we always felt like you were our friend. I hope you come back to YT or whatever platform more consistently. No. matter what platform you decide to put your time in, you will be such a blessing!
I’m only at 19 and a half minutes into this article and I just wanted to say that in 2010 I searched YouTube for a Marilyn Monroe makeup tutorial and found you and I fell in love with your voice and you made me feel like you were my big sister teaching me how to do my makeup. I love you and hope to see more chatty makeup articles here on YouTube.
Kandee I started perusal you around 15 years ago, and you have been an absolute inspiration! The positive encouragement you would say, were things I had never heard anywhere on the internet! Though I haven’t watched you in the past few years many of your words and sentiment stuck with me! Thank you for being you! You’ve changed lives! I can’t believe your children are so big now, I remember when they weren’t even allowed on camera! So happy for all the positive things which have happened for you. Much love
So happy to see you back. Your the OG and we need you and your totally unique personality. You inspired my career in makeup for the past decade. I went from doing hair in the salon to films. You are trustworthy and have such integrity which I greatly admire. Thank you for all that you have shared of yourself to help us achieve our own dreams. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Kandee it’s so good to have you back! I know the beauty community has changed but I’ve watched you for over 10 years and I miss these chatty get ready with me type of articles. You are so special and we need more people like you online. You’re such a ray of sunshine and even though life is busy and hard, there are so many of us who are always waiting for you when you come back. 🥰🥰🥰
Yay Kandee! Have always loved your articles. Was randomly searching for a tutorial for Vanessa’s makeup from Deadpool and thought I would see if you had one. Haven’t checked your articles in awhile and was so happy to see you back! Have followed several of your tutorials in the past and I love your life articles. Thank you for all you have given to us ❤
Heyyyy girl ❤❤Ive been perusal you forever feels like LOL I feel like you’re almost like a spirit animals lol because we have so much in common personality wise. I also love tiktok but sometimes I do miss the longer format content too! But I do think now they have introduced longer article options I guess. So I’m still on YouTube and yes the shorts are really cool on here too! Personally what I think would be cool for you to do would be like storytimes whether you choose to do it on YouTube or longer article on Tik-Tok, where you share your stories from your life with us. I always love reading your post on Instagram and Facebook and stuff of you pouring out your heart about your childhood your dad, your faith; I just love your bright shining light that you bring into this world and I feel like we need more of you on all the platforms LOL and once you get your foot in the door on Tik-Tok and get some followers there… consider going live because that’s fun too and can just take questions and stuff and maybe do like live makeup on there. I’m excited for the future for you and I’m so so glad you’re still here XOXO❤
Kandee I needed this article so much❤ you are an ICON I am here for whatever you put out!!! Your family is beautiful… you are beautiful. I wish I could explain how many times you made my life better in so many ways. So what I will say is thank you thank you thank you. You are an inspiration! So happy to have you back❤
I could watch and listen to you for hours on here, Kandee! Your light, positivity, and faith truly comes through the screen. Thank you for being you! Whatever you wanna post or talk about, I’ll watch. ♥️ And at some point, I’ll make sure to watch in one of the countless jumpers I’ve bought from your WhatNot auctions (which are also soooo fun, btw)!
Oh Kandee! I’m so glad you’re back!! my favorite part about perusal you when I was younger was that I could turn on your article and I could just hang out with you in my bathroom or in my bedroom or wherever it was that I was getting ready for the day and it was like I was getting ready with a Girlfriend! I’ve personally like the long articles because they last just about as long as I need to get ready for my day! So I say keep them coming and be Yourself And continue doing what you love!!!
You are the best of the best! I have missed you and your articles immensely! I became a makeup artist after gaining so much confidence from you! You and your skills are timeless. I like the longer articles because you really get behind why things work for makeup and skin vs just putting it on. You are the most genuine sweetheart and I hope that you never stop loving all of your fans ♡
Omg I’m so happy to see you on here again ! Please come back! Started perusal you in 08 and reading BOTH your blogs! You’ll never know what you did for me back in those days but I’ll always be thankful to you for it all ! Now I’m 30 and I need to learn how to do my makeup again. Bring back the tutorials ❤
So good to see you! Missed you! I watch you tube, Instagram and Facebook more. Shorts leave me wishing for more. I love Soar and use it also since you’ve talked about it. Okay love the color you used for your lining of lips. I suck at lip lining. Would love to see updated articles. When I watch you I feel like I’m perusal a friend. Your kind words and interactions with me over the last 10 years have meant a lot. Wish you the best always Kandee!
Oh my goodness!!!!! I watched you when you first started and you helped me through so many things! Haven’t watched in years and I can’t believe I ever stopped! You are amazing! Missed you love! I have four kiddos now too, mine are 9,7,almost 5, and 2!!! I love these long talking articles and updates! What’s in my bag, skin care routines from you! All the things! I hope you’re happy and doing well! ❤️
OMG this article came at the perfect time. Welcome back, Kandee! I found your articles during a rough patch and they made me feel so optimistic and inspired. I remember working my way through everything you’d posted (on both YT websites and both blogs) for days. You’re the first YouTuber I ever subscribed to and I’ll be a lifelong fan. Someone posted about you shaping their aesthetic and I so relate to that. Some of my sensibilities definitely come from you! PS – Long-form YouTube articles are what I’m most interested in and all the ideas you mentioned sound amazing! I think most of us would watch anything you were willing to post. Sending love!
I’ve been a subscriber and loved you since the How to clean your brushes article…. Your content has been wonderful it’s YOU. So, from makeup, style, decor, cooking, everyday life…. It’s all great and so grounding in these days of such craze and rush and fast fast fast info… Just chill as always and be with us in whatever way works for you.. I love your personality so as long as you’re doing things and film them, makes my heart sparkle. I genuinely love you. 🖤
I’m so happy to see you again on You tube, I follow you since the beginning, I’m 54 now and I still love perusal regular You tube articles, I can’t stand the Shorts, too fast, and I have to watch a few times to catch the tips. Can’t wait to see your future articles, also with the girl. You got a beautiful family, the kids are goergeous!! Welcome back ❤
Kandeeeeeeee! I haven’t seen a YouTube article of yours for a looooong time and this one just made me smile all over again just like old times. I learned all I know from you about makeup! You’re still as beautiful as ever. I want to see your favorites- your affordable go-to’s for daily wear and how to apply. Thanks for staying genuine and I love your faith in God. I love YOU! 😘
Kandee you bring so much joy and love and kindness to everyone ❤ I think I can confidently say we all just love and sincerely enjoy you’re energy and aura and you as a person, so whatever content sounds fun and enjoyable to you, we would all love! ❤ Thank you for being our internet Momma for so many years ❤ You have a special place in our hearts too! Xoxo
This was so great to see, and I’m so thankful you posted it!! I am 32 now, but I definitely recall your first few articles and even watched Lauren Luke back then, too! I LOVED the articles by you both then- they were so relaxing, you always were and have been genuine, and your articles helped me as a high schooler to have some confidence in trying makeup creatively. You (and Lauren!) felt like the big sisters I never had (lol, 3 brothers here!) and I always loved hearing about baby Ellie (HOW IS SHE 12?!) and hearing you talk about God, too. 💕 I agree that all the short articles, while great, do make my brain do the same thing of being bored after a few seconds, so I do enjoy perusal more of the articles that are longer. I don’t really wear makeup as often anymore, but I truly enjoyed perusal this update article and I love hearing/seeing what you’re up to and how you’re doing. I follow you on Facebook so that’s where I’ve seen your stories the most, but I’m definitely going to go over to IG and follow you there as that is where I spend more of my time! As I’m now in my 30’s, I would LOVE to hear your makeup ride or dies as well as tips here and there on timeless makeup that also doesn’t age me, haha! Thanks for sharing this life update- felt like a phone call with a friend I have been meaning to catch up with! I was truly reminded of why I started perusal your articles in the first place. 🙂 Sending you many hugs through the computer, too, and can’t wait to see what all you’re working on when the time is right!
I have missed your sweet and positive presence on here so much. I still love perusal YouTube and I really hope you start posting again. I have watched your articles since before Ellie(I remember when you announced your pregnancy, I cannot believe she is 12!!!) Your encouragement has helped me so much through the years and your website always feels like my home on here. ❤ Hope all is well and I’m glad you are feeling better.
So great your back! I love your youtube articles, and have missed them. In addition to learning something new and perusal your creativity, I really appreciate your positive outlook and messaging. I have been following you since your original blogs and YouTube. I learned from you how to do makeup for several of my friends weddings by perusal your original tutorials! Now at a similar age and stage as you, and also as a working mama, I empathize with so much of what you shared about the pandemic. Thank you for opening up your life and sharing your successes, and challenges, you creativity, and positivity. We appreciate you!
Oh my gosh I’m so glad you are back Kandee! You’re the first person on youtube I ever subscribed to. I was looking for a Marilyn tutorial for my 30th birthday and yours was by far the best ( now I’m 42!!!) I watched that tutorial a million times and followed it to the last detail when I got ready for my party, ahhh awesome memories. I still love long youtube articles, just give us all of your good vibes and I’ll watch a article of you doing/talking about anything. We love you Kandee xxxx
I really still love long content. I love being able to turn something on and listen. Or for makeup I really love all the details. I’ve been perusal you for so long and always enjoyed your content. Even your life and health stuff. You’ve always been such a positive in my life. I’ve had Lyme disease for over 10 years now and it can be so hard. I’m glad you are starting to feel better. I hope we get to see more of you ❤
I’ve watched your articles for so long and it was never even just about make up. I remember perusal when you were having a home birth and sharing your life on here. I think you’ve always been this beautiful light that is so uplifting and genuine. Even if you think you’ve taught everything you could possibly teach, realize that by you just being you, you are constantly teaching kindness, positivity and love. Which in my opinion is a far greater lesson. Hope you continue posting articles on here 😊
I sat here and did my makeup along with you for the first time in a very very long time. THIS is what I miss and needed to bring back my little spark! I used to sit and do my Makeup and watch your articles every day, that was my “thing” for years! It gave me confidence, and just set the tone for my day! Your positivity, your kind words that touched my soul, and feeling like I had a friend when I was really lonely. Thank you for this ❤
Omg KANDEE 🎉🎉 I was literally talking with my sister about you the other day! We both missed your YouTube articles sooooo much! Your kids are so grown and you are so gorgeous as always! Bring back 2009 Kandee!! I miss the OG YT back in the day articles that weren’t all giant professional stuff, you are so real and your heart is so big and you have helped sooooo many of us. You are soooo missed 🩷 I will blow dry my hair and think of the “root confusion” line in the article 🩷 I hope you stay on YouTube, I would love to see your articles again 🩷
Love you so much and have watched you since I was just starting makeup in high school and I’m STILL in love with you’re online presence ! 💕 I love the person you are and the joyous community this is. No drama, just your inner light and positivity shining through my screen – I think just being an online friend that tells me about her latest things she’s into or learned is what you are to me. I’m the oldest sibling, my mother was raised by her father and had no female figures to teach her how to express herself through makeup or hair, it’s genuinely a topic of stress for my mother due to her lack of knowledge. So you to me, are the older sister teaching me how to be a young girl/woman (as we’ve aged lol) and how to have fun with these things🥹 thx Kandee! 💗
How do you manage to pop up when I need you again. I’ve been feeling so down and life has been stressful and your posts have popped up and I come on YouTube and here you are, sending love again. I needed it so badly. I still remind myself that I’m more amazing than I know and more loved than I can imagine. 🫶🏼❤️🫶🏼❤️
Personally I miss the long relaxed articles. You are the real deal. So many on YouTube now, feel so unreal. So plastic. I miss how I didn’t feel alone, when I use to watch you. Please come back. I feel like I’ve lost my purpose, and so lost, and this little article helped me in such a way I can’t explain. It’s not just makeup. It’s like listening to a friend from days gone by. ❤
where does the time go!!! i’m 25 now and remember perusal you when i was going into middle school, scared as hell to grow up. i’m still scared! sometimes i look in the mirror and wonder who that person is looking back at me. hearing your kids’ ages absolutely made me emotional. you look fantastic and i would love love love for you to start uploading more if it’s what you want. you, michelle phan, and panacea all inspired to be a more creative person and to see you doing so well makes me so damn happy.
Hi Kandee! I have been perusal your content for years and years – I am still perusal YouTube, I prefer long articles (long as in 20+ min), which can be super unedited and imperfect, I honestly really like those vibes. You definitely have a spot at the table, there is many folks 30+ that are just waiting for women like you to take up their space again. I am just glad you are okay, so no pressure at all ❤
Kandee, I’ve been perusal you since the beginning and believe me, you’ve helped me so much. At that time I was a teenager, had just moved back to my home country, but I was having such a hard time adjusting to the point of wanting to die. I never got good at makeup 😅 but I felt like you were my friend. Thank you so much. Things have changed, but I’d love to see you here still.
Sweet Kandee, I would love a podcast just listening to you talk about God, makeup, your thoughts, what makes you happy, fashion. I learned some MUCH needed tips about makeup from you. But It’s your spirit that lifts me up on the bad days. I always tell my husband if my media feed could be all things like Kandee Johnson style- I’d be happier on the daily basis. ❤
Love you so much. My 26 yr old daughter i living in a recovery house and she lost custody of her 1 yr old son and blah blah blah but you are such a free counselor to so many of us. We truly feel like you are our friend. Thank you for being real and letting us know that life had ups and downs for all of us but we keep pushing through. Thanks from the bottom of my heart🤟
you ARE y2k! you ARE og youtube! i can’t think of anything more exciting than if you were to bring those vibes back to youtube! everyone rn is looking to recreate the looks you were teaching us to do in the 2000s-2010s (but with todays makeup) !!! or recreating your style tips and tricks from that era but when we live in todays world and it’s harder to find y2k clothing ! idk i just think you align so much with what’s popular right now so don’t even begin to say that you’re old news <3
Hey Kandee!!! Long time viewer here! I’ve been perusal you since I was in 6th grade. I’m now almost 24! I joined during the fun edits and just all the amazing tutorials. You were different!!! That’s what grabbed me in. Anyways, I love you! Thank you for still posting. In regards to platforms/video length, I prefer the longer articles. I listen to podcasts & articles & also lives more than anything when I’m doing my makeup or cleaning the house or just whatever I’m doing. I like the chit chat vibe, brings back old YouTube for me. So personally, for any article, I like the longer! ❤
Oh my goodness, 🌸I was so excited when I saw you. I have missed perusal your articles since I have been perusal you from the beginning…🌸you inspire so many and are loved by so many…🌸keep doing these articles with this positive upbeat, attitude… 🌸sending hugs, love, prayers, and kindness Sweet girl. Can’t wait to see more.🙏🏼👍🏼💗💕👏🏻
Yay, Kandee! I’m so glad to see your update. YouTube is my main stop for articles. I would love to see a article or series about how to give yourself a makeover— I know this is a broad topic, but I feel like a lot of people could use a refresh (myself included) but we don’t have our of makeup artist to help us get there.
In my opinion you are the OG! Literally I started perusal you in 2009 and copied everything from your style, t shirt cutting, jewelry, makeup tips(which I still use today) you are so relatable and it doesn’t seem “staged” and like a job from you, it seems real and fun like I’m hanging with a friend, which is what has always set you apart. You are a bright shining light and never stop sharing the gifts God has given you 💞💞
I have watched you since day 1! Literally! I’m 3 years older then you and I feel like you were such an inspiration! I lost my dad December 10,2022 and I went back to your articles from when you lost your dad… You truly helped me so much. What this world needs now is more YOU! More makeup, more fun clothing! More stories and funny jokes! We need the old makeup community and you started it! Thank you for this article! We need you!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ So much love to you Kandee!!!!❤
Kandee!! It is so good to see you back on YouTube! I’ve been a viewer since the beginning. I started perusal in 2009 because i had just gotten engaged and started planning my wedding (celebrating 13 years married this fall!) I remember you getting burnt out on youtube but feeling so proud of you for all the other things you had going on in your life – literally making your dreams come true! Since you asked…My format of choice to watch articles is definitely still YouTube and am right there with you on the shorts – I prefer the longer form articles. Now that I’m starting to see some fine lines I’ve been trying to get back into beauty articles and craving tried-and-true style articles over the trends. Would love to see anything you want to share! Be the light that you are! 🌞❤
Kandee! I watched all your articles religiously throughout my middle school and high school years over 12 years ago (always a huge fan of your pink rooms, pink hair and pink christmas trees!!) You gave me so much confidence and genuinely made me feel less alone during such a confusing time. I loved this article and I love seeing your face on YouTube again 💞💕💜
Kandee!! In 2009 I remember perusal you as a 16yo girl just looking for some fun and cheer in my life. It was never about the makeup! You brought smiles and fun content from day dot. I dropped off around college age and was so excited to randomly come across your IG this year in 2023. It was like a blast from my past. I’m so glad you never changed, not a damn bit. You are still the ray of sunshine I remember and I’m so glad to see you’re doing well. Keep being and doing you!!!
YAAAAAY!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 KANDEE IS HEEEEERE!!!!!!! ✨💜✨ Oh my goodness, what a bright shining light you are! 🌟 Totally relatable pandemic (& post!) experience. Our muscles are returning – one day at a time, we’re getting there, and moving forward! Your beautiful kids are thriving!! 🤗 I love the feeling of hanging out here on YouTube, but of course, short form is fun, too. Just keep on shining!! ✨🙌✨
So strange, the other day something just told me to hop onto youtube and check all my old subscriptions. Found this and got excited. I have watched you since 2012. You have literally changed my life back in the day. You have been so inspiring and ‘that girl’ to me …..I haven’t watched your website in a while, but that is due to life changing. You have always kept up with your fans and you have always taught me something new that whenever I DO get around to having the time to watch youtube, I will always find you Kandee!!!! I will always support you as you have supported my love of makeup and desire to look my best. I truly hope you are looking into cosmetics, I can really see you starting your own line and Ill be one of the first standing in line to buy whatever you are selling 🙂 I cherish all your old articles, especially the marilyn ones. I hope this coming from a fan of yours for so long saying that I will absolutely lose my sh!t if you redo/refilm all your old tutorial articles!!!!!!!!!! <3 you
Hi Kandee, I’m not sure if you’ll see this but, I wanted to tell you that you bring so much joy and positivity in your articles. Ellie has grown up so much into a bright and adorable girl. I’m sure she’ll be just like her momma :). I really want to thank you as well, because I first saw your articles when I was dealing with so many different and difficult things. This one in particular always makes me smile and brings joy to my heart, seeing little Ellie and how joyful you are too. Thank you Kandee for being positive, amazing, and an inspiration. <3 your friend Ayla 🙂
