Makeup Geek Lipsticks
The perfect blend of high pigmentation and smooth and creamy texture, you won't find a better lipstick for the price.
No offense, I love MakeupGeekTV but I personally won’t be participating in a contest like this again. Some of the comments people left (or messages people sent) were pretty scathing and uncalled for. I saw the same individual that made a rude comment on my own video, in other videos in the contest snapping at others in their entries (including one of the finalists). And this was an individual who participated in the contest as well, who made a new account just to say rude things to others and favorite / like her own video. Just disgusting behavior.
I’m happy for all of the finalists, and I wish them all the best. Hopefully others will have more respect and dignity towards them.
I understand how you feel, I think it is awful that some people went around giving others low ratings and saying not so nice things. Within a few hours of uploading my video to the contest I had a thumbs down/1 star rating on my video and I remember thinking to myself “why do people go around doing that?!”. It can be really upsetting and discouraging.
Agreed! I can understand constructive criticism, we can all use that sometimes
But it was really disappointing to see how others treated one another during the contest. However, the bright point out of it all was I found a lot of amazing people who knew even more than me about makeup, and it was a really nice way to find new people to watch 
I understand how frustrating it is with comments- sadly, it’s part of the youtube/video world
I know in my first few months of taping videos, I almost gave up due to rude comments- BUT, don’t let it discourage you- just do what you love, and you will be successful at it!
I’m sorry you had negativity on your video- please don’t take it personally! Keep doing what you love, sweetie
I’m sorry you had that treatment as well. Sometimes I guess people can be so petty when it comes to contest that they let their minds run wild. Thank you for your comment! You rock
why would anyone say something bad about your videos? all the ones I’ve seen are awesome. it’s unbelievable the way people behave sometimes =(
I understand your frustration. But those stupid and mean people out there should not keep you from entering. They’re not worth it!! Ignore them and keep doing what you love the most – nothing on this earth should keep you from doing what you love!!
Thank you for your words! I hope others who received the same treatment see your comment too, it was very encouraging. I’ll keep trucking
It’s upsetting to hear how rude and heartless some people can be! But keep it up ladies the videos are amazing. Most of these people who leave rude comments don’t even look at the videos half the time and get a sick joy out of writing negative things. As hard as it is to ignore, keep trying because these videos are great!
Hi!
I am not active member on a website. But I noticed your comment about negative reviews, however those people are just being negative and not being very nice. But I love coming on here and seeing so many different people putting thereselves out there and sharing all their talent. So many times I am in the mood for something different and I get so many great ideas from Marlena’s website. I think this is a great place for people to share their talents and wonderful ideas. I did not take part in this contest but I did view peoples submissions and I think its great. So long story short! People from all over the world are viewing this and loving it. So for all the not so nice comments there are thousands of people who appreciate the work that is put into this. As Marlena said she also was discouraged but you shouldn’t let that happen! Stay postive and always remember theres someone out there who appreciates all the work put into this! From the outside I had a lot of fun learning from everyone. Sometimes I go and buy a new product that I remember from one of the videos and Im always telling my boyfriend “I learned this from so and so’s video” hehe.
I never write or post but thought a lot of people needed a boost of confidence
With love,
The Netherlands
Get over it sissy!
Hmm…
I like the following three: Mrjovitageorge, Smashinbeauty and TheMakeupStation
Same here!
Thank you dear for me being one of you top favorites
much appreciated
SmashinBeauty
I can’t see the video =\
There’s a mirror button at the top of the post with a link to another site- click on that, and you should be able to view it
Kudos to all who entered. It takes a brave confident person to put themselves “out there”, I am thankful that so many of you do that.Pay no attention to the “haters”, thankfully more viewers appreciate what each of you do and we will continue to outnumber those who choose to be negative. Huge congrats to the top ten, all beautiful people. Looking forward to the announcement of the finalist. Good luck to all.
thanks for the congrats
and for being positive 
I voted! Good luck to all of you & may the best ones win! =]]]
I liked a lot of them so much! I couldn’t vote for just 3. My top four were:
AKAbobbiedoll03
GGLynnlucky
MissTango2
Themakeupstation
Hi Marlena! I was just curious what you were looking for in the finalists and potential top 3 winners? I only ask so that I can possibly better my videos, I’ve been doing videos for a little over a year now and haven’t managed to get a whole lot of feedback. Although over time my videos are improving, I want to improve more. Makeup is a passion to me and a career choice I am looking to make, I’ll be 29 in a few days and am hoping to start up my own freelance makeup artistry business and focus on my channel as well. I guess you can say I have found this passion later in my life, sometimes it just takes time to find your niche in the world I guess. I also don’t live far from you (I live in the Mountain House/Tracy area) and am hoping that I can learn from as I feel you are someone I can really relate to. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and I hope you are continuing to have a speedy recovery!
~Jami
For the finalists we’re looking for:
-comfortability on camera: looking at the camera, easy speaking, confident, and knowledgeable
The best thing you can do to improve is practice- whether it be practicing your makeup skills or practicing on camera. The more you do, the better you get
Finding your niche is crucial as there’s SO much competition out there.. I always say my niche is teaching- I may not be the most talented artist or most creative, but I can teach really well 
Find what you’re best at and focus on that 
I didn’t realize that we could only vote for one contestant, so I figured I would leave a comment sharing my favorite 3 finalists: Miss Tango2, Smashing Beauty, and Mr Jovitageorge. I saw that Marlena said she is looking for comfort in front of the camera, eye contact, ease speaking, and product knowledge and I felt that all three of these contestants had that along with genuine personalities.
I know it took a lot for all the contestants to enter the contest. It actually motivated me to make my first video and though I didn’t make the finals (I definitely didn’t have the comfortability on camera
, it did help me gain some confidence to be applied in other areas 
and I will attempt to make more videos in the future. Congratulations to everyone who applied, but most importantly to the 10 finalist! You all did a nice job and should be proud of yourselves for making it this far. God gave us each a special tallent and a desire to help others through the art of makeup. I hope that everyone continues to pursue their dreams and uses this as a stepping stone to move forward in your makeup adventures regardless of who is chosen for the final 3 
but MakeupStation is already a youtube partner… it’s not very fair to the other contestants.
I don’t understand what that means- she’s a youtube partner already
I agree with Shan, I thought it was unfair to the other contestants that TheMakeupStation already has a partnership. I felt this was a contest for youtubers who were unestablished. Its like keeping the rich, rich & the poor, poor. I LOVE GGLynnLucky! You got my support girl! When I first watched her I knew she was going to make it! Very funny!
You’re awesome Marlena!
Allison— youtube partner is where you apply for the youtube partner program with youtube and you get paid for your videos depending upon how many views you get, how many subscribers, how original your videos are etc…. so as you can see she’s already on her way to having a successful youtube channel and I was kind of hoping someone that’s just starting out or hasn’t had a chance to build a fan base could win.
Unfortunately when you do this kind of things people are always going to have a rude comment; just look at the positive and ignore them. I love them all just for the courage to get in front of a camera and do this. Best of luck to all.
So many talented people!
my vote is for makeupstation… I don’t see how we are suppose to vote?
you click the little dot next to their name
my vote is for mrjovitageorge she did an awesome job !
WOW this really sucks they only chose people that have popularity instead of charisma and great personality like they mentioned. I have better charisma and personality than some these girls and I dont say “like” in every sentence. Whatever this sucks and I deserve it more than these girls that are rich. Best luck to you all anyway this blows im super sad I really thought i had this.
We actually didn’t choose anyone based on popularity- truly. We didn’t even look at any numbers- just watched each video to look for ease on camera, confidence, and speaking quality. Don’t give up too easily- there’s more things coming up on MUG in the future
My vote is TonnsOne. She seems to be a really fun girl, so her videos won’t be boring =) I think Themakeupstation is currently winning because she has her own channel and a lot of subscribers who vote for her… But I like other contestants much much more… And clearly for me the best is TonnsOne
I wont give up
Thx Marlena I hope you’re doing well.
thank you
I agree, Iryna. Makeupstation is already doing nearly the exact same thing as Marlena. I would like to see someone like tonnsOne win also. She has spark, which makes it easy and enjoyable to watch her videos; a pretty neutral skin coloring ( other than the super light hair and skin coloring of TMUS ), and lots of ease in front of the camera. I think that her approach to reviewing would be more appealing to more people.
thanks girl
All of you did great on your entries!!! Good job to all of you. Cant wait to find out who gets to fill this positon!
Thanks for the positive feedback
I voted, but one thing I wanted to point out is that the second person on the list responded to a “hater” with hard profanity in his comments. Im not saying this because I didn’t make it in the top 10, but because I know a lot of young girls are fans of makeupgeek and I feel someone who repressents marlena should be someone who can ignore and delete rude comments and not stoop to their level and use profanitys in return. That’s just my opinion though. I wish everyone the best of luck and look forward to all of the future reviews.
You read my mind. Like Marlena wrote earlier, negative feedback is part of doing youtube videos. The way I see it these videos and comments that you write on your videos should be considered a job application. If someone were to call another person a B*tch and a C*nt on their application surely they wouldn’t get the job. Their job application would get tossed. That’s what I think should happen to this applicants video, I say there should be a zero tolerance to such responses and Boywithbrushes video should be tossed.
BoyWithBrushes should be ashamed of himself and I also agree, should be tossed for being so immature to reply with those words. The delete button needs to be your best friend if you’re going to represent a business such as MakeUpGeek, IMHO!
Buh bye BoyWithBrushes!
I totally agree! The C word is the worst thing (in my mind) that you can call someone. It is a hateful, hateful word that is so derogatory towards women and I don’t think there is any place for this. If someone said this word at the workplace out in the world there would be severe repercussions! Perhaps the repercussions will be the offense taken by would be voters.
Congrats to the finalists !
wow i think they were all good and i would have to say its to hard to pick a favorite.
to all the people making rude comments you should be ashamed, and to those offended their just jealous ignore them.
Goodluck to the finalist with live from auckland new zealand

xxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I’m not jealous, would it be an awesome opportunity? Yes. I’m just looking out for Marlena and the fact that she does have lots of young followers.
I cant express how grateful i am to you marlena and your entire team, n all those who are voting for me..
thank you soo much!!
and a much greater thank you to the makeup geek team for having the patience to actually sit through 400 odd videos to pay attention and judge..
kudos to you girls!
thank you once again, i am indeed honoured!
xoxo
wow. Okay.
Thanks so much everyone for you support!!!
It was a total surprise!!! My face is still like this : :O
Its hard to vote for just one… i loved 3 of them soo much…
MissTango2
GGLynnlucky
MrJovitageorge
Those were the ones that made the reviews entertaining and so easy to relate to… and made me feel how I felt watching make up geek back in the day… well a few years ago
I am so sad I cant vote for them all! I’d know who to pick!! I’d be happy with any of them though…
Why cant anyone vote?
OMG OMG OMG I AM IN THE TOP 10
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
All of my friends are asking till when are the polls open? I didn’t notice this in the video or on this post D: thanks
TonnsONE is a natural beauty and funny – she’s natural and not much make up needed for her. What a beauty and funny! Good luck everyone
thank you
that’s so sweet of you
I did not participate in this contest so when i say the following, you can understand that i am not being competitive, even though i DID want to participate, its just not my thing to go on video right now for a few reasons.
Anyway, the 3 that i liked, were AddictiontoShopping, andreaaababy, and Themakeupstation.
And i want to say why. I liked AddictiontoShopping becuz she seems very confident and she also seems to shop at drugstore stores, which is a HUGE PLUS for me.
I liked andreaaababy becuz she goes into details with the product as well as provides swatches, BUT she reviewed UD, which to me is not a inexpensive product. And the fact that she seems to buy and use neutral colors a lot, and believe me, i DO NOT like neutrals.
I liked the most, Themakeupstation, becuz it seems to me that she has some high end products but also uses drugstore products SO THAT IS A 2 THUMBS UP!
Thank u for having contest like this. I don’t participate yet love watching. I admire u Marlena for everything u do. I am sad many are not having probs with it. I posted this on my FB today & thought it went with what was being said. Don’t U Lose UR Peace because EVERYBODY Else can NOT Find Theirs! When U Hold onto UR Peace; U will NOT be Disturbed! Let tough times refine u but never define U! Love u Marlena!
I have to say Im disapointed with the way this contest was ran. you had some really great contestants made them wait days after March 3rd, and picked what seemed to be names out of a hat. one person could not have taken the time to fit his head in the frame. another person who was so angry she looked like she was going to start punching herself in the face. and what are they going to win really??? Im worndering how much thought you put in this ????
I’ve gotten more negativity on this string of comments than on youtube. Do ppl really have to keep mentioning how horrible I am as a person when they’ve only watched one of my videos. Just DON’t vote for me.
No one said you are a horrible person, but felt that you could have conducted yourself with more professionalism. I think we are all just looking out for the makeupgeek community, as I’ve said there are lots of young viewers. No one would have an issue with what you did if it weren’t for the fact that this was a contest to represent makeupgeek.
Don’t worry….I DID NOT vote for you. Hope you sleep better knowing that.
Congrats to all the finalists! You are all very talented, but I have to admit my favorite is smashinbeauty!
Thank you dear
Even though, I might not win… what is OK… I am proud & happy to be amongst the TOP 10!
I wish good luck to my fellow competitors and may the best video win.
I want to say thank you to all the people that found the time to vote for me and to all my new YT subscribers…
It means the world to me that you voted for me
Peace & Love
SmashinBeauty
Who knows what opportunities this will open up for you, SmashinBeauty! I love your attitude and your humility and gratefulness! It’s such a relief to see beautiful people on YOUTUBE with inside beauty to match!
Good luck on the challenge – but Congrats to already ‘winning’ in a sense. You know what I mean, I’m sure.
All my best –
K.
Thank Kari
Any opportunity like this will surely help me…
I am 100% sure and being negative about it for losing or for not leading in the polls will not reflect positive on what doors will open
Even thought I am sure not to win …. I am soooo grateful for being on the TOP 10…
Marlena has no idea how this has helped me in sooo many ways…
This opened a door that I was trying to open for about 4 years.
Thank you Marlena for seeing the talent behing my long time effort…
Aww.. I wish I wasn’t so nervous when I filmed that video! I even filmed it twice lol… anyways, I’m happy for the top 10. good luck
I just started a youtube channel and thought to myself – the one thing I’m looking forward to the most happens to be the thing I look forward to the LEAST as well – and that is contests. Here I’m thinking I have something to give to someone else that might not have had the opportunity of getting it before the contest. It’s free for them and yet it costs me time, effort, stamps, etc. And the person who receives the gift will probably be thankful, but the person who doesn’t will have all kinds of theories and accusations and drama to dish out. Was the contest fair? Was the prize even worth it? Was the person who won deserving of it? Etc. Etc. Etc. I don’t PERSONALLY know Marlena and the MUG staff, but I’m pretty sure a successful artist, youtuber, business woman doesn’t need any help from little old me when it comes to contests and how to run them! She is going to have this person represent her and her company – OF COURSE she’s going to be looking at the contestants with a fine tooth comb. And if I don’t agree with her decisions I have to ask myself how much information I’m privy to that SHE might have. So to all the people looking out for her and all those who have ideas on how better things should be run – um – run your OWN contest and give Ms. Marlena a little bit of credit. Congratulate those who succeeded or don’t. Vote or don’t. But to infiltrate something that was given for free with so much negativity and speculation is, in my opinion, disrespectful and childish.
Congrats to ALL who entered – Congrats to those who are in the top 10 and Congrats to the MUG staff/team for successfully running a contest despite Marlena’s recent surgery and all the other time restraints you must have encountered. And while I’m on the “praise” bandwagon – thank you for taking care of my order so professionally. Despite the mix up in shipping my over all experience was a pleasant one and I’ll be ordering from you again soon.
K.Anderson
Beautifully Said.
I assume I am one of the people you are referring to. I fully trust that Marlena and her team have made the choices they feel are fit and I’ve wished everyone luck, however, given the sheer hours that had to go into watching the videos you can’t always assume every little detail was caught. I’ve not said anything negative or mean, I simply felt as a follower of makeupgeek that a certain level of professionalism should be upheld as I see that is how Marlena conducts herself. That is all. It is only my opinion and feelings. Again I wish everyone the best of luck and congrats to those who did make it into the top 10. I look forward to future opportunities and contests, im not giving up
My hat’s off to everyone who participated in the contest, because it takes guts (I thought about it, but didn’t feel ready for the leap) as well as product knowledge and talent.
I am excited to see who the winner will be, and that they’ll represent MUG with the same class and creativity that Marlena delivers. For those who put in their best effort but didn’t make it, I hope they can go with grace, hone their skills and do what they love.
As a viewer, before anything else, I hope to see someone who’s fun, compassionate, humble and innovative with their beauty videos.
What’s up with choosing all the Australians!!!
I didn’t think I’d be upset as I was when I saw I wasn’t in the Top 10. It’s probably because it was so exciting and I really thought I had a shot at it. It’s defintely a goal of mine to be successful one day in this community, and I’m not getting any younger! LOL I’m happy for the finalists, especially themakeupstation because I’m a subscriber of hers but I’m also just really really bummed for myself. I’ve been really working hard to improve the quality of my videos and it’s been much harder than I anticipated earning subscribers. I appreciate all the subscribers I currently have though. They’re great! I just wish it could have been me up there as well
I know Marlena definitely had a difficult decision to make. I only hope there will be another opportunity like this in the future 
i know what you mean and how you feel, ill be 29 in 2 days and I’ve had my channel for a year now. I got a new camera this year and set up my vanity. It is slow coming but I have faith with time we will succeed in what we love. Don’t give up because our time will come too and there will always be more opportunities.
Hey everybody!! I just wanted to take a second and say that I really think this contest was a cool idea!! Best of luck to all the finalists–even though I know who my favorite is…*coughMrJovitageorgecough*.
I am new to the makeup geekness and found this all out last week when I was browsing makeup tutorials on youtube. Marlena and Co. do a great job! Keep up the awesomeness and Marlena, I hope things are good on the recovery front for you!!
I’m way beyond excited right now! In not even 24 hours I have gone from only having 20 subscribers to almost 200!!! Even though I know I don’t have the numbers on my side, I’m really trying my best to get votes
So please vote for me and give me a shot! I KNOW I can rock this out 
Love you guys
-Tiana
lol.. *cough mmuah cough*
hahaha what?
;D
I took time to view all of the finalist’s videos and I must say I am very impressed with each and every one of them. I with they could all win, well, they ARE winners in my opinion just for making it this far in the contest. Good luck to all, and know they you each did a terrific job.
Marlena girl I luv ya…even though I didnt win..I didnt lose either..everything you do on video with makeup, I practice on myself. Each products you, show, I purchase..I even took your, advice as too organize your makeup. I practice each chance I get so I can be were I want too, be., thank you for this, wonderful opportunity. I may not be a winner for the, job, but I am still a winner non the less. Thanks
Wow! After reading some snarky comments on here, its nice to see a positive attitude! Good for you for looking for the silver lining.
Hey Cristina,
thanks so much!! yea i read some of those comments and if these people feel the need to vent then they will do so as they have..i do agree that there are some who are very nasty but at the same time i wouldnt take the time or day to care what they think…they dont pay my bills. The only good thing that comes out of nasty people on a site like this…is that it kinda helps you to practice more and become better. Your never going to make everyone happy when doing something like this…but if you continue to love what you do…then nothing can stand in your way. I am proud to have been able to post a video because mines was no way near perfect…but i am now working on how to make it better..and the nice comments i did recieve whether meant to be nice or just pretending…i am grateful for them all!!!
I tried to vote for MrJovitageorge, but the site wouldn’t let me. Thanks.
WOW!!! What amazing videos everybody! Good luck to you all. x
Okay, it let me vote. Phew! (on a side note, this is a fun contest idea.)
Can i not vote anymore???….. there is no option for voting, all I see is the votes that have already been cast!
I really wanna vote for mrjovitageorge
Ah, too bad this isn’t one of those ‘choose multiple’ or ‘first, second and third choice’, since I like three of the finalists
:
Smashinbeauty (voted for her; professional, good diction and good story, clean video)
andreeaaababy (so charming! good diction)
MrJovitageorge (I’d have to see more of her to make a choice, but love the energy and the accent)
Sometimes it seems like everyone’s either from SoCal, New York or London – it would be nice to see some new products, hear new stories, experiences, tips and tricks
.
Good luck to all the entrants!
I agree with ana
I agree with ana I liked SmashinBeauty and voted for her.. Her video is very professional, easy to understand and is simple and she even posted minutes below her video on when she is talking about what.
I understand why MUG choose her 
She did a really good professional review
and I like MrJovitageorge
Hope both of them make it into the TOP 3
I am so grateful for all the love and support that I am recieving from this contest. I have gained well over 100 new subbies on my youtube channel in the last 24 hours, which is freaking amazing! No matter the outcome of this contest I will continue to be grateful to MUG and to the whole MUG community for the love and support that I have been shown.
~BobbieDoll
It was hard to choose just one! I liked MissTango2, MrJovitaGeorge, and TonnsOne. Good luck to everyone that made the top 10, and those that didn’t, I applaud your courage for putting yourselves and your ideas out there. Its great to see that despite a couple of negative issues mentioned above, overall, the feedback is mostly positive for everyone.
Looking forward to who makes the top 3 and getting to vote again!
Cristina
Ok, I have to say you alll have incredible talent and definatley are going somewhere in the makeup world! Lol , I did just vote, and it was hard. But, you all are very talented and have amazing opportunity and potential!! God bless you all, and good luck to the finalists!!
Would REALLY like to vote. Closed already???????
i had trouble with that too. I think it is a site glitch.
I heard that some people can vote as many times as they want while others can only votes once. Also many voters are complaining about some virus that attacks their computer when they visit this stie
I could only vote once, that’s no big deal to me but I did get the virus thing quite a few times when coming to this site.
OK, a side topic because we’re talking about outside additions to the Makeup Geek personnel/site.
Dupes. Lets have a page where we can submit our dupes for products. They would have to be approved by MUG people before being posted on a dupe page. It would be ongoing. But I think it would work because between all of us in the MUG community, we have a great stash of makeup. I also think it would help out the MUG staff.
They do this at IMDB.com. You can look up your favorite actor and you can submit a credit for something they’ve acted in, but isn’t listed. I’ve done this several times.
I think the same principle will work for dupes.
Anyway, let me know what you think.
We could call it The Dupe Group. haha!
This is such an exciting challenge! I wish we could vote for three instead of one… I watched all video entries, snooped around the finalist’s other videos, and then scored each video out of 5. My top three were:
1. MrJovitaGeorge
2. TonssOne
3. AKABobbie1103
But my final vote went to Mr.JovitaGeorge because her video was the only one that influenced me enough to HIT SUBSCRIBE. I love this girl, she’s funny, smart, and talented!
BobbieDoll – she’s amazing too, so confident, inspirational, and very sweet !
TonssOne – very confident in front of the camera, funny, and super enthusiastic.
Good luck!!
wow.. u had so much patience cal…
thanks for being sooo sweet 
thank u 
how do i vote??
I voted for smashinbeauty love the professionalism and that it’s simple and gets to the point with no drama.
personally that is the only video that I like.
MissTango2
Loved the videos!! Very excited to see who wins! On that note… when will the top three be announced? It probably said in the video and I forgot….
But seriously- good job, guys! I reaaalllly enjoyed watching these and getting to see some more faces and personalities from the MUG community. Good luck to everyone!
I vote for MrJovitageorge
smashinbeauty
i think smashingbeauty is the best
For the top three, do they have to submit a new video? Do we vote for the winner or does MUG pick the winner?
For the record, everyone who entered was brave and I really admire your pluck to put yourselves out there like that! Way to go!
i would not like anybody else in makeup geek but Marlena
Marlena’s had others blogging with her (Taryn, Jangsara, and Mariella come to mind immediately) for quite some time.
My personal top three are MissTango2 (whom I voted for), smashinbeauty, and themakeupstation. But kudos to all ten finalists!
I vote for mrjovitageorge!!
Top two favorite are MissTango2 & MrJovitageorge. Everyone did a great job, It’s not as easy as one might think to act natural in front of the camera and have people appreciate what your trying to show them so kudos to everyone that tried. People with negative comments should just be ignored because that is all they have to offer and it’s not worth getting down about.
Best of luck to you guys! I look forward to seeing the winner!
Does anyone know when the contest is over??? I was wondering this because I had someone message me and I had no clue what to tell them back.
=D Tiana
In the video info box it was stated that , or at least that is what I understood, the contest will go on for 1 week.
Thanks
Most of these finalists are already on youtube, so why single out one person for being on youtube? I think it would be nice to see someone with a different look than Marlena’s. Someone of another ethnicity, maybe? Darker skintone, even? Good luck to everyone. I did vote for Bobbie, though! I felt like her video was something like me sitting down with a girlfriend, chatting about a product! I didn’t feel like she was trying too hard to impress. I think she came across pretty real.
Test
Voted for Smashinbeauty, professional and simple. I don’t want “friend” reviews I want people to get to the point as fast as possible
I’m confused… Where do you click to vote? Lol sorry if that’s a stupid question but I cant find it!
Lol nvm got it
Bub, glasaio!!
Congrats to the finalists! it is so hard for me to vote for one cuz i love 4 of them! and i do have some comments, not as a professional but as a viewer. First to boywithbrushes i can barely see you or the products you are reviewing i understand that you are tall (so am i:P) so when i am infront of a camera i put some books or boxes underneath so i fit in the frame
. To Mrjovitageorge, i loved your video and since i’m an addict to concealer wow! and you have a great personality tho it was a bit dificult to me to understand you(english is not my first language) cuz you speak kind of fast; but it was great, funny and informative!!! To GGLynnlucky, wonderful video! it was so funny and original!!! To the 10 finalists good luck you are wonderful and i enjoyed alot watching at your videos!!!! (still don’t know who to vote for…) :0!!!!!!
thank u soo much for ur feedback… i shall definitly try and talk slower next time.. n probably il put in text too.. so u can read and understand?
I can read and understand, sometimes it takes me a lil to understand some words but i pretty much get the whole idea
thanks for answering!!! (my vote went to you by the way, i really hope you win this one)
Sometimes i hate being tall haha :] and my camera doesnt have one of those flip screens or autofocus so i have to do everything manually. X_x thanks for the nice comment
lol i know what you mean! but i don’t hate being tall anymore hehe we are the first ones to know if it’s going to rain lol
good luck! and keep making videos, you are good at it 
When’s the winner announced?
I voted and wanted to say I think that it is a shame that because of rude comments someone wants to give up or give in. Well don’t!!!!!
Ignore those people and do your thing the way that you want to. There will always be obstacles in life trying to break you down, but you have to push on and succeed. Look inward at what you want and go for it. I just wanted to say also that it’s my bday tomorrow and I’m turning 39. Life is too short to give up on things so I am pursuing my dreams so can you! xoxo love the vids always. Great job on the weight loss and surgeries!!

Awe, my favorite person is not winning!! Come on, world!!!
Seriously though, may the best contestant win. My choice fyi, was based on sheer energy, product knowledge, and ease of communication. She also was witty, charming, and had this ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ attitude, which for makeup reviews and tutorials to me is an absolute must. Yup, I voted for Jovita. Girl, you deserve to win! She gave a product review like she IS a Makeup Geek staffer–and not like she WANTS to be one some day. Go girl!
are you saying that others are trying to imitate Makeup geek?
if you are then you just insulted everyone else
