I LOVE your wisdom on makeup. You have no idea how blessed I am to have stumbled on to you on YouTube♡ I briefly saw a tutorial that you were doing on using one color foundation around the edges of the face & another in the center. I can't find it now to finish watching it. Will you help me?
Okay....so I have chubby cheeks(well at least to me) I need tips for my blush application..I dont know what my deal is....its just not poppin like i would like it to....please help when you can. I know you have other blush videos but still Im having issues... : )
I would love to see a tour of your makeup collection if you have time b/c I know as a makeup artist it must be massive. Also interested in another good product/ bad product video.
Would you mind doing a video on how to pair spring makeup trends? For example I started wearing bold lip colors but don't know what to wear on my eyes and cheeks while wearing those bold lip colors. It would be so helpful :)
Hey Destiny.... It's me AidenJules from Youtube.... Your biggest fan ever... lol... I just wanted to know how I could follow you on Blogger.... I can't seem to find the button to do so... Everytime I want to view your blog, I have to go to your page... Any tips?

Can you please do a tutorial on covering dark circles for dark skin and how to go about choosing the perfect concealer? Thanks so much! Love your channel!
Hey! I LOVE your youtube vids and I left a comment on one of your skin-care vids and I'm certain you are a busy woman and i understand completely , but if you could let me know where I can purchase vichy and lierac products that would be very much appreciated thanks :]
Hey D, you've always graced us with a unique sense of beauty and a starlet glamour and you always seems to rocked it like no other, so I've got an idea for you. How about an male alter ego, let's call him Dereck G... I've seen you pull off breathing taking looks and I know if anyone can capture that androgynous character it's you. And if not, I'll take a 40's or 50's pinup icon.. Thanks D and Keep rocking dollface...
I want to wear makeup, but not a lot. And when I say a lot I am a minimalist. However I am about to be 30 and believe that I need a little polish so that I don't look so young. Is there a way to wear only concealer and powder, of course moisturizer. I have some hyper pigmentation but I don't need to be flawless just polished. A minimalist tutorial would be awesome. I love the info from you channel but as you may know Youtube can gas you up and then a week later your not on that thanks so much
sooooo... i love shoes but wonder about the people who can wear them all day without their feet hurting. It would be nice to see a video on your heel experiences and tips and tricks! -Thanks
Hi Destiny ^_^ Could you do an updated foundation overview - minireview like you did back in 09? And Include all the foundations that you have used up too.
I think the old video was "confessions of a foundation whore" lol:)
All the best n I hope you are happy and feeling great :)
HI Destiny this is my very first time seeing your work... i saw you on youtube..... I like what you do i think it is great... your crazy and Kool (not with a c)!!! Talk 2 u l8r gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Hey I was wondering if you had any tips for getting my vids viewed. I have over 100 vids and like 600 subbies, but only get like 35 views per vid. I am getting SO discouraged. Is there anyway to get viewed more? If you have a minute i would love feedback. Keep up the good work. I love ur vids :)
Sure. Tagging is VERY important! As well as what you NAme your videos. It's fun to call a look "Rainbow Surprise" but Colorful Smoky eye tutorial is better suited for search engines. I also suggest using annotations reminding your viewers of looks linking your videos to one another and make sure to have "Liking" enabled thats a form of sharing!
Just wondering if you had any hair color YAY or NAY for dye-ing hair. I want to go a deep plum/burgundy for Vday and im getting my hair relaxed and cut pixie short as well. Im still thinking about Estelle's bowl bang short hair do but idk. LOVE your channel and blog! xoxo!
I have never dyed my hair. I know it can be harmful... but can also be done right. I am pro dying I spose... but how about a rinse first... to see how you feel about it.. consult a pro then make a final decision!!
OK since I do not win your contests/giveaways (LOL) I guess I can help by giving in my input for your 50,000 Subs contest.
1. The black and animal print bag that you had in the beginning of your recent workout/master cleanse vid OR... 2. The Naked 2 palette OR... 3. A basket or collection of "Destiny's Favorite Things" (i.e. Makeup items, Fashion items, etc)...
YOUR NEW SITE IS WHATS UP!!!! I like it a lot!
So I will push this 50,000 like I did for your 30,000 on youtube and FB and now Twitter... LEGGO!!! :-)
Hey Destiny (: I'm looking for a good powder to set my Makeup Forever HD Foundation with. Any suggestions? We happen to be the same shade in the HD foundation (#178). I don't want to add that much more color to my face from the setting powder, so I was looking at translucent powders. But I heard that they can make your face look white when you take pictures with the flash. I don't want to look ashy...Do you suggest translucent powders? And I also have combination oily skin so I need a powder that will mattify my face pretty well. I'm kinda looking for an all over setting powder, not just a powder for a specific area of the face. Could you suggest a good high end and drugstore setting powder that doesn't add that much additional color or texture to my face and controls my oil? Thank you So much! xoxo Ariana
Hi Destiny. I'm Rikki. I just found you on YouTube :-). You are wonderful and so beautiful. I really appreciate that you share your skills and information with us through YouTube.

Do you think it's something that you would be able to do a tutorial on? I love your makeup style and I love that look :-). Thanks so much in advance :-).

Hello from beautiful Cape Town (South Africa) Destiny, I LOOVE your youtube videos. I have found them most useful and fun to watch. I have a special request: I am getting married in August and I would like to do my own make up for the wedding. However, I am in South Africa and a lot of the products that you recommend are not available here. I can however order them on ebay and have them sent to me. I will have to do this soon.
Please recommend the basics for a flawless, natural wedding looks. I love rosy cheeks and nude lips and the dewy skin look. My skin is a bit oily so though. PLEASE HELP!
Destiney!!! First and foremost...let me just say I love love love you! lol Okay now for my question...can you do updated video for highlighters for dark skin please. Especially with summer coming up (even though the weather is still dreary) I want to look soo sun-kissed it looks like I live on an island. :D
I just started viewing you on youtube a couple of days ago and I am a lover of all things girly (makeup, fashion, health, etc...). I love your progress with you makeup designs and fashion. I love Nicki Minaj and the youtube you have of her and her style.
Two things...
First, Thank you sooo much for walking me through applying my lashes. I apply them on yesterday and love them. I was spending $25 for lashes.
Second, Can you make more youtube tutorials of your diet and exercise routine. I am going back to my healthy lifestyle and need motivation.
Destiny would you please tell me where I can purchase the Chanel foundation in chestnut and which brush do you think is the best to apply that makeup (stipling, flat brush??)
Hi Destiny, I'm Evita an aspiring makeup artist and a beauty blogger. Please i need a mentor to help groom me for this career path i have chose. Please could you be my mentor and help a fellow African.
Hello, I'm a college student just getting into make up and i was wondering if you used a certain palette. I've read that Coastal Scents, Sedona Lace, and BH Cosmetics all have good palettes(some more praised than others. I was wondering if you have used any of these companies would you be able to recommend one. Thank You.
Hi Destiny, I would like to interview you for my blog column at About.com's Teen Fashion page. If you are interested please email me at teenfashion.guide AT about DOT com, thank you!

hi destiny!! i absolutely love all the videos you have on drugstore makeup. they are absolute lifesavers for broke girls like me! however i was wondering if there were any high end products you have that you can't live without. with Christmas coming up it'd be nice to know which products i should invest in (or ask someone else for lol).so if you could do a video or a blog post on your high end must-haves, it'd be greatly appreciated! from one "destani" to another :)

Hey Destiny. Love your vid!! Your makeup is always so bomb!! Could you possibly do a tutorial for us girls w/ extremely hooded eyelids?? I can never quite get the whole eye shadow look. Thanks.
Hello. I am having hard time identifying the difference/importance of using foundation vs powder or both. If my skin is fairly clear/oily after a couple hours, can powder be used by itself? I have been wearing foundation but maybe I should just use powder, thats what they said at the makeup counter. Whats your take? I tried the queen collection-cover girl matte pressed powder and looked ASHY! Help! I also tried the gold/silver jewelry to determine my undertone, fail! So confused!
I am new to make up and I am having trouble with finding make up for my eyes. I have sunken in eyes (or maybe the term is deep set eyes). They are also small. This gives me dark circles under my eyes (I am dark caramel). Do you have any tips on how to best apply eye make-up for sunken eyes? It seems as though a lot of eye make-up tips make my eyes look smaller. Thank you and I love your channel on youtube!
Hey Ms. Destiny seems like you may need some assist answering all these questions,(pick me, pick me lol) See girl you are awesome, gifted, talented and gorgeous!!! Keep handling your business from all directions. Im 51 and you caught my eye in dec 2012 and nobody else offered glamour like you. I sent you an email to yahoo address about "seasoning skin lol lol" I have rocked the hell out of some of your videos just toned it way down for my age and it was fab! head turns from ladies of all ages and some compliments, I even had a (male)youngster smiling. So keep it up, keep it up, you got all my support, hope you get around to mine soon, With Christ Love, Sexy-nista
Hi...I launched my very own lipstick/gloss line and was hoping to have you review it on youtube. If you would be interested please view my website www.sultrymua.com and I can be contacted via email sultryms.toni@gmail.com. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
I'm asking if you could do a full tutorial (foundation & an updated stop make-up transfer video) with Black Opal Products, i'm a beginner and from jamaica and as such make-up in my country is very expensive (US$1.00 = JMD$ 93.00)and the cheapest line of make up out here is Black Opal...... eg. cream stick foundation is JMD$ 1850!!!....so you get my drift :)
Thanks in advance and love your vids!!!
PS. i only use their cream products so if the vid is done with that it will be extremely appreciated :)xoxoxoxoxo
I am just getting into make up at 32, I known and I am completely lost.. You had a video where u talked about concealer, with different colors and you had a palate that you used if you could tell me the name. also a apricot primer, the name please, and the brushes you should use for each step. because I used my fingers and when I was done I looked like an ashed clown.. also the basic things a girl needs in her make up bag for day too night, what I mean; the main things you need too apply to you're face so it looks finish. so you can go to the next level of you're make up.
also palates I should have/foundations/primers/concealers(for black girls!!) quality brushes/
I NEED HELP email me if its to much to post on youre blog beautypierre@gmail.com
Destiny, I am deep skin tone girl and after watching your corrector video went out and purchased MAc pro concealer palette. I did have a question that involves correctors. Can I use a purple or mauve corrector as a brightener as well or am I too dark?
Hi Destiny, What wig are you wearing in the 'BEST Airbrush Foundation EVER!' ...did you dye it in anyway? because it looks blonde at the top and dark at the bottom but in the description it says in color #4. Thanks!!
I'm currently an actress on a network sitcom, and have am interested in speaking with you confidentially. Ironically, I have an upcoming procedure scheduled with Dr. Diep, and recently ran across your youtube progress videos while doing additional research on the healing of the donor area.If you have a "public" email address that you can post and I can reach out to, I will send you my contact information for a more private dialogue.
I was wondering where to even begin looking at decent wigs. I just love your purple ombre hair and would like to see about doing something like that for myself. But I have never worn a wig before so what are some tips for starting up and what should I look for? Thanks!
Hey Destiny! So I love love Ciara's ombre bob that she wore to the Givenchy show this year and also the look she wore to VH1 divas show last year. My question is what hair would you suggest to execute this look (a lace front, a upart, just pieces) and do you know a website that sells reasonably priced hair to do a medium length bob to do it? Thank you!
I love your lipstick videos and think you should do a collaboration lipstick and levis where you show off your awesome curves #curvygirlsarebetterthanskinnygirls
I am an intern at an online magazine called Afro Avenue and was wondering if you would be open to being interviewed in regards to your beauty blog.
A little about us: We are an online black and mixed race magazine that focuses on hair, fashion, beauty and business blogs and businesses. We will be launching next year and I am currently conducting interviews with hair and beauty bloggers and business owners to feature you in our magazine for and after the launch.
Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in. You can contact me through natalie@afroavenue.com
I was wondering if you can do a video or slide show of your hair progress, with the surgery date to current, as I am thinking of having the same surgery. I just love your hair and I too have hairline issues. My current dermatologist is trying injections on me for starter but I have informed her that I maybe interested in the surgery. I also contact Dr Diep, but if I can get the same results where I live, I wouldn't need to travel to California. Thank you in advance. I love the way you keep it real and post videos that help all of us. You have been a great inspiration even for me at the age of 46 years old....thanks again, YOU ROCK!!!!
Hi Destiny, totally love your videos. Would you be interested to hold a seminar? In Curacao? What would it take, to get u here?? Tell me, tell me. Loveee u

We have similar complexions and it's so hard to find gurus of our colour! I would really appreciate if you could do a video on hair color. I love the brown/blonde colour that lighter skinned girls use yo get that natural look. I'm sure you would have tips for creating that similar look with darker skinned tones. Please help!
Hi Destiny :-) I've been looking everywhere for the Josie Maran peach concealer, (sos) I want it so bad. Ever since I saw your video I knew I wanted to try it. Can recommend some sites or places that would sell this product.
Hello Destiny, You are so beautiful..I love your eyes in your black barbie purple/blue look for green eyes.Can you please help me i want them so bad they look natural in your eyes.What site can i order them from? Again love your look!Beautiful...Beautiful:)
Hey Destiny! I was wondering why you made the videos of the hair restoration journey private. I remember that's how I came to know you and I was trying to share you story with a girlfriend who wants to go to Dr. Diep because she hates her forehead but I couldn't find your story and images.
My girlfriend that I mentioned has so much hair, I want to beg Dr. Diep to transplant some of her hair into my problem areas. She has that much hair. Oprah thick times 3.
I LOVE your wisdom on makeup. You have no idea how blessed I am to have stumbled on to you on YouTube♡ I briefly saw a tutorial that you were doing on using one color foundation around the edges of the face & another in the center. I can't find it now to finish watching it. Will you help me?

We'll be letting people know about this new feature soon, and to inspire people, we'll be curating example mosaics under the theme, "Favorite Lipsticks of Top Beauty Bloggers". Being a top beauty blogger yourself, we wanted to see if you'd be a part of our highlighted examples.
If you want to participate, please do the following by Jan 3:
1. Upload your look and/or swatch of your favorite lipstick to Savvyist.com. Feel free to add a link back to your blog; any image that is clicked on will link to your blog for better discovery of your work.
2. Reply to me (frances@savvyist.com) with the link(s)
Hi Destiny!! I'm a huge fan of your videos. I've tried everything to stop my under eye creasing. I moisterize, conceal, and then set with banana powder or translucent powder. I LOATHE under eye creasing, it makes me look soo much older. PLEASE help..:(
Last night I was celebrating my mother's 50th. I got all dolled up and felt amazing! I took a few snaps at home before we left out no problems. However when I got to the restaurant and took pictures my face looked ghostly white! Now I'd say i'm a darker complexion than you so that ghostly white look certainly ain't cute!! I'm so glad it was a taken on my phone and not at a nightclub event! Can you imagine the shame! This is the first time that this has ever happened. I have just come back from holiday and do have a summer glow but I travel alot and this can't be the reason. I use Nars khartoum which is a tad dark for me generally especially down my nose and under eyes n cheekbones for which I uses mac studio fix nw45/50. I often mix the Nars and Mac for a perfect colour. How in the heck do I stop this from happening again. I would love if you could do a video on this.
My name is Taheira and I'm an avid watcher of your videos on youtube. You've single-handedly inspired me to pursue my love for the art of makeup and take it more seriously. I was wondering if you could make a video about your journey to becoming a professional mua and tips on acquiring the proper products to become an official mua. I don't even know you but I love you just for giving women of color like myself the extra confidence to love our facial imperfections and be able to broadcast them without feeling embarrassed. Because of you, I no longer look at wearing makeup as a sin or hitting someone with the 52 fake out! Because of you, I can walk around with the attitude like "Yes, I may look like my life is on fleek with this beat face but I still have facial imperfections that I'm not afraid to show." You are so awesome and I can't wait to meet you one day!
Your videos have been great for a makeup novice like me. I'm getting married next summer and was wondering if you could showcase some bridal looks that you have done. Thanks again for all that you do for the makeup challenged!
Destiny, you do such an impressive tutorial with makeup, skincare and lace wigs. I am interested in purchasing a 360 Frontal Wig 180% Density Yaki Straight Brazilian Virgin Hair [TLW07]. However, I would like to add Chinese bangs to my look. I am uncertain of the process - wetting, cutting, styling. Would you do a tutorial on how to alter the style of this lace wig to have a full Chinese bang - it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Destiny, I left you a message on ur youtube channel...my screen name is geesgirl4eva, i requested a makeup tutorial on lauryn hill durin her miseducation days...i luv all ur videos..i've been wathching you for a while..but i have just recently subsribed..its like christmas everytime i get a notification you posted a new video..thank you for all your efforts..keep up the good work and be blessed..

First, Thank you sooo much for walking me through applying my lashes. I apply them on yesterday and love them. I was spending $25 for lashes.
Second, Can you make more youtube tutorials of your diet and exercise routine. I am going back to my healthy lifestyle and need motivation.
Thanks again,
Ishicia from New Orleans
Destiny would you please tell me where I can purchase the Chanel foundation in chestnut and which brush do you think is the best to apply that makeup (stipling, flat brush??)
ReplyDeleteHi Destiny, I'm Evita an aspiring makeup artist and a beauty blogger. Please i need a mentor to help groom me for this career path i have chose. Please could you be my mentor and help a fellow African.
ReplyDeleteMs. Destiny I trust that you are well and in good spirit.
ReplyDeleteThis is a request of you to take a look at Jennifer Lopez' makeup in her I'm into You video and attempt to translate the look to a WOC.
I'm interested in seeing how it can look or how best to translate it to darker skin from someone who is a professional and is a WOC like me!
Thank you if you can and I'll understand if you cannot.
(^_^)
Hello, I'm a college student just getting into make up and i was wondering if you used a certain palette. I've read that Coastal Scents, Sedona Lace, and BH Cosmetics all have good palettes(some more praised than others. I was wondering if you have used any of these companies would you be able to recommend one. Thank You.
ReplyDeleteI think you should cut the front of the wig with side bangs and to frame your face and short layers through the rest

ReplyDeleteHey Destiny. Love your vid!! Your makeup is always so bomb!! Could you possibly do a tutorial for us girls w/ extremely hooded eyelids?? I can never quite get the whole eye shadow look. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteUpdate on the master cleanse diet?? I'm interested in trying it.
ReplyDeleteHello. I am having hard time identifying the difference/importance of using foundation vs powder or both. If my skin is fairly clear/oily after a couple hours, can powder be used by itself? I have been wearing foundation but maybe I should just use powder, thats what they said at the makeup counter. Whats your take? I tried the queen collection-cover girl matte pressed powder and looked ASHY! Help! I also tried the gold/silver jewelry to determine my undertone, fail! So confused!

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am new to make up and I am having trouble with finding make up for my eyes. I have sunken in eyes (or maybe the term is deep set eyes). They are also small. This gives me dark circles under my eyes (I am dark caramel). Do you have any tips on how to best apply eye make-up for sunken eyes? It seems as though a lot of eye make-up tips make my eyes look smaller. Thank you and I love your channel on youtube!
Hey Ms. Destiny seems like you may need some assist answering all these questions,(pick me, pick me lol) See girl you are awesome, gifted, talented and gorgeous!!! Keep handling your business from all directions. Im 51 and you caught my eye in dec 2012 and nobody else offered glamour like you. I sent you an email to yahoo address about "seasoning skin lol lol" I have rocked the hell out of some of your videos just toned it way down for my age and it was fab! head turns from ladies of all ages and some compliments, I even had a (male)youngster smiling. So keep it up, keep it up, you got all my support, hope you get around to mine soon, With Christ Love, Sexy-nista
ReplyDeleteHi...I launched my very own lipstick/gloss line and was hoping to have you review it on youtube. If you would be interested please view my website www.sultrymua.com and I can be contacted via email sultryms.toni@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
I request how your setup your light and your camera to use to make your tutorial video. All the thing you use. It is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm asking if you could do a full tutorial (foundation & an updated stop make-up transfer video) with Black Opal Products, i'm a beginner and from jamaica and as such make-up in my country is very expensive (US$1.00 = JMD$ 93.00)and the cheapest line of make up out here is Black Opal...... eg. cream stick foundation is JMD$ 1850!!!....so you get my drift :)
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance and love your vids!!!
PS. i only use their cream products so if the vid is done with that it will be extremely appreciated :)xoxoxoxoxo

ReplyDeleteI am just getting into make up at 32, I known and I am completely lost.. You had a video where u talked about concealer, with different colors and you had a palate that you used if you could tell me the name. also a apricot primer, the name please, and the brushes you should use for each step. because I used my fingers and when I was done I looked like an ashed clown..
also the basic things a girl needs in her make up bag for day too night, what I mean; the main things you need too apply to you're face so it looks finish. so you can go to the next level of you're make up.
also palates I should have/foundations/primers/concealers(for black girls!!) quality brushes/
I NEED HELP

Destiny,
ReplyDeleteI am deep skin tone girl and after watching your corrector video went out and purchased MAc pro concealer palette. I did have a question that involves correctors. Can I use a purple or mauve corrector as a brightener as well or am I too dark?
Hi Destiny,
ReplyDeleteWhat wig are you wearing in the 'BEST Airbrush Foundation EVER!' ...did you dye it in anyway? because it looks blonde at the top and dark at the bottom but in the description it says in color #4. Thanks!!
Hi Destiny,
ReplyDeleteI'm currently an actress on a network sitcom, and have am interested in speaking with you confidentially. Ironically, I have an upcoming procedure scheduled with Dr. Diep, and recently ran across your youtube progress videos while doing additional research on the healing of the donor area.If you have a "public" email address that you can post and I can reach out to, I will send you my contact information for a more private dialogue.
All The Best...
"Thespian"
What is the best way to find what my skin & under tones are. I'm so lost!!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where to even begin looking at decent wigs. I just love your purple ombre hair and would like to see about doing something like that for myself. But I have never worn a wig before so what are some tips for starting up and what should I look for?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hey Destiny!
ReplyDeleteSo I love love Ciara's ombre bob that she wore to the Givenchy show this year and also the look she wore to VH1 divas show last year. My question is what hair would you suggest to execute this look (a lace front, a upart, just pieces) and do you know a website that sells reasonably priced hair to do a medium length bob to do it? Thank you!
I love your lipstick videos and think you should do a collaboration lipstick and levis where you show off your awesome curves #curvygirlsarebetterthanskinnygirls
ReplyDeleteHi Destiny,

I was wondering if you can do a video or slide show of your hair progress, with the surgery date to current, as I am thinking of having the same surgery. I just love your hair and I too have hairline issues. My current dermatologist is trying injections on me for starter but I have informed her that I maybe interested in the surgery. I also contact Dr Diep, but if I can get the same results where I live, I wouldn't need to travel to California. Thank you in advance. I love the way you keep it real and post videos that help all of us. You have been a great inspiration even for me at the age of 46 years old....thanks again, YOU ROCK!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Destiny, totally love your videos. Would you be interested to hold a seminar? In Curacao? What would it take, to get u here?? Tell me, tell me. Loveee u

Hi destiny
ReplyDeleteWe have similar complexions and it's so hard to find gurus of our colour! I would really appreciate if you could do a video on hair color. I love the brown/blonde colour that lighter skinned girls use yo get that natural look. I'm sure you would have tips for creating that similar look with darker skinned tones. Please help!
Thank you
Sab.
Those features were great that you posted for the IMAT meet and greet in LA on January 18, 2014. You are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHi Destiny :-) I've been looking everywhere for the Josie Maran peach concealer, (sos) I want it so bad. Ever since I saw your video I knew I wanted to try it. Can recommend some sites or places that would sell this product.
ReplyDeleteHello Destiny,
ReplyDeleteYou are so beautiful..I love your eyes in your black barbie purple/blue look for green eyes.Can you please help me i want them so bad they look natural in your eyes.What site can i order them from?
Again love your look!Beautiful...Beautiful:)
Hey Destiny ! Can you do a video on how you got into makeup and tips for someone who wants to learn were the same color and inspirational for me.
ReplyDeleteHey Destiny! I was wondering why you made the videos of the hair restoration journey private. I remember that's how I came to know you and I was trying to share you story with a girlfriend who wants to go to Dr. Diep because she hates her forehead but I couldn't find your story and images.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend that I mentioned has so much hair, I want to beg Dr. Diep to transplant some of her hair into my problem areas. She has that much hair. Oprah thick times 3.
I'd really like to see a tutorial using mineral makeup. I currently use B.L.A.C Minerals and would love to have some tips to perfect my application.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your wisdom on makeup. You have no idea how blessed I am to have stumbled on to you on YouTube♡ I briefly saw a tutorial that you were doing on using one color
ReplyDeletefoundation around the edges of the
face & another in the center. I can't
find it now to finish watching it. Will
you help me?

Hi Destiny!! I'm a huge fan of your videos. I've tried everything to stop my under eye creasing. I moisterize, conceal, and then set with banana powder or translucent powder. I LOATHE under eye creasing, it makes me look soo much older. PLEASE help..:(
ReplyDeleteHi Destiny
ReplyDeleteHope your well.
Last night I was celebrating my mother's 50th. I got all dolled up and felt amazing! I took a few snaps at home before we left out no problems. However when I got to the restaurant and took pictures my face looked ghostly white! Now I'd say i'm a darker complexion than you so that ghostly white look certainly ain't cute!! I'm so glad it was a taken on my phone and not at a nightclub event! Can you imagine the shame! This is the first time that this has ever happened. I have just come back from holiday and do have a summer glow but I travel alot and this can't be the reason. I use Nars khartoum which is a tad dark for me generally especially down my nose and under eyes n cheekbones for which I uses mac studio fix nw45/50. I often mix the Nars and Mac for a perfect colour. How in the heck do I stop this from happening again. I would love if you could do a video on this.
Forever grateful.

Hi Destiny,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Taheira and I'm an avid watcher of your videos on youtube. You've single-handedly inspired me to pursue my love for the art of makeup and take it more seriously. I was wondering if you could make a video about your journey to becoming a professional mua and tips on acquiring the proper products to become an official mua. I don't even know you but I love you just for giving women of color like myself the extra confidence to love our facial imperfections and be able to broadcast them without feeling embarrassed. Because of you, I no longer look at wearing makeup as a sin or hitting someone with the 52 fake out! Because of you, I can walk around with the attitude like "Yes, I may look like my life is on fleek with this beat face but I still have facial imperfections that I'm not afraid to show." You are so awesome and I can't wait to meet you one day!
Yours truly,
Taheira Williams
Hi Destiny,
ReplyDeleteYour videos have been great for a makeup novice like me. I'm getting married next summer and was wondering if you could showcase some bridal looks that you have done. Thanks again for all that you do for the makeup challenged!

Hi Destiny,
ReplyDeleteHave you ever worked with Iman Cosmetics? If so, could you post one of your incredible reviews/tutorials?
Thanks,
Ann
Destiny, you do such an impressive tutorial with makeup, skincare and lace wigs. I am interested in purchasing a 360 Frontal Wig 180% Density Yaki Straight Brazilian Virgin Hair [TLW07]. However, I would like to add Chinese bangs to my look. I am uncertain of the process - wetting, cutting, styling. Would you do a tutorial on how to alter the style of this lace wig to have a full Chinese bang - it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
