IM SO PROUD OF YOU 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 As a brown girl, your content has helped me more than anything else when it comes to makeup! Congrats 😘

I'm half asian and since moving to the West Coast I go from white to burnt toast. Never thought that I would have to change my techniques since the Northeast isn't known for all year sun exposure so I definitely appreciate everything that you do for brown/people of color. PS you are so freaking beautiful...I can't wait to see the continued growth for you in social media. Very important for diversity instead of 20 shades of white *cough* *cough* Tarte

Genuinely thank you so much. I’m middle eastern, so fair skin but lots of hyperpigmentation 😭 your videos have helped so much! Teaching color theory and not using a beauty filter when you film!!! Your content is amazing! ❤❤❤

Even Middle Eastern are brown people, hence the pigmentation. You don’t hear blacks say otherwise even if they have fair skin. European white mainly don’t have hyperpigmentation unless it’s a skin condition. Many might not even consider you fair. So your skin and an Asian persons skin isn’t any different. I’m black and I’m here cos the ladies skin tone is closer to mine but I don’t call myself a brown girl, but just black 😅

i have to agree with the fact that brown girls have to work harder to make their makeup look on point. beauty companies need to make more products that are more inclusive so that everyone can enjoy them. i’m quite light skinned so i don’t have the same problems but both my bestfriends are both beautiful dark skinned indian gurlies…def gonna share this video with them ❤️

I’m a ivory girl who has been loving your very informative short form content. I’m so excited for longer form content. Keep slaying, Queen!

I'm mixed white&black , I relate so much , no foundation match, hyperpigmentation, blush that disappears,lip stick problems....

Thanks Monica for all you do for us brown girlies!! I love all your shorts and am so excited for these videos! Keep up the great work!

thank you for continuing to share your raw, unfiltered skin & advice on camera. seeing acne like mine on a popular youtuber makes me feel emotional and seen!

Giiiiirl I'm so proud of how far you've come 🥰 I'm not even a brown girl but I love your content so much. Your personality, beauty and creativity is 10/10, and I think it's amazing that you're representing and educating brown audiences about what actually works for them. Also, thanks for the concealer tip. I'm pale af but I have a neutral undertone and for some reason most concealers in my country are extremely yellow and make me look like sh*t. I'm going to try the pink powder thing.

Thank you for making brown girl friendly makeup vids!! I remember years ago a friend and I joked about making videos comparing makeup products and colors on each other since they look so different! I'm glad you are sharing so many helpful tips. The amount of times I've been let down because of viral products that aren't brown girl friendly

I love watching your reels, and I feel like I'm getting better at technique, so thank you for You, your story, and your creativity. I religiously save a product I like and even get the drugstore ones, which are brown girl friendly! I'm also a CS major and still clueless about my path but seeing your journey surely does inspire me to know I'll be okay! Thank you for valuable content! YOU ARE GORGEOUS. ❤

So excited for your longform content bestie!!! You’re such a natural speaking on camera, your intellect is shining through!! Color theory queens forever 💜 Love you!!

I learned so much from you and as a brown girl I did struggle a lot doing my makeup but now that I finally figured out what to use and what not my makeup has been flawless ever since. Thank you so much for inspiring me too I've started my own journey recently and I want to help others too who are in need of it. I admire you a lot!!

You just took the award for best brown girl makeup tutorial ever with this video! Amazing intro to colour theory for brown skin!

Monicaa! I’m so happy and proud that you’ve started long-form content! As a brown girl, I always have to check your reviews before buying any new makeup products. Thanks for the tips, love your videos! 💕 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Finally! I would love to watch long-form makeup content like this from you more! You've now become my staple for brown-girl-friendly makeup

I genuinely never knew that I should pick a corrector shade that closely matches my skin tone. All this time I’ve been trying to cover up a dark orange corrector and getting all cakey. This video is gold!

Omg this is a life saver. Love how packed it is with info but still easy to follow through. AND you adding closed captions adds so much, bless you queen Please do more long form video!

Yay a full length video! I love you shorts and I'm excited to see longer videos. 🤎🤎

Omgggg so excited for a long form video. I’m planning on doing my own makeup for my wedding next year and your product suggestions have been soooo helpful. Thank you from a fellow brown girl!

I absolutely LOVE the fact that you're not afraid of showing your skin texture, facial hair and body hair. I can't even explain how much this has helped me get over my own insecurities. I'm south asian and I have pcos that has manifested itself in the form of hirsutism. I have lots of facial and body hair and I keep getting unwanted comments on it. It just feels shitty, y'know? But seeing you and other creators like Safiya Nygaard absolutely owning your body hair boosts my confidence a lot. Thank you so much, Monica. Love you ❤

I’m not a brown girl, but I’m here for support and to learn! Because hey color theory can help everyone. Love you!

Yessss!!! I've been patiently waiting for these long form videos! Thanks for creating content for us brown girlies. I've learned so much about color theory and how it translates to brown skin, it has elevated my makeup skills and made me more adventurous with my makeup. Love you bestie 💜💜💜

I’ve always loved you short form content but now adore the longer one as well! It’s just nice seeing you go into much more detail on a specific topic with the time you don’t always have with shorter content

thank u for all your vids monica ❤ i wish i had you to watch when i was growing up but i’m so glad i can watch you now! brown skin can feel so complicated sometimes but you’ve helped my confidence so much

I just wanted to say that you are amazing, and I really do love watching your videos, especially how you like to find makeup tutorials and products that can help and appear on brown skin because a lot makeup don’t appear on brown skin it doesn’t appear at all or looks ashy especially when you talk about main stream make up that says that they include products that work for brown skin, which usually don’t . it’s good to find alternatives that can help enhance the beauty of brown skin and create beautiful looks. I have definitely learn a lot from watching your videos. They are a joy to watch. Looking forward to more wishing you lots of happiness and joy and prosperity and love. Have a great week.❤🫶❤️

i love watching your shorts (prob why this popped up so quickly on my feed). can't wait for more from you!

Hi!! Love what u do so much! We need more poc in the makeup world! It is so important to learn what works for you, but you’re showing people that there is makeup available for them!

So much value in a 10 minute time period. Hats off to you Monica ❤.

Thank you so much for posting this video! As a brown girl I've always struggled with using makeup. This video is going to help me soo much! ❤

Monica, I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. Representation is so important and it's so lovely to see a beautiful south indian girlie sharing her expertise. Keep doing what you're doing, we love you!!!

I really love your videos, you gave me the inspiration to try to do makeup again. Trying to figure out my correct shades has been very stressful 😂 but whenever i feel overwhelmed I come back abd watch these and to renind myself I will eventually master this. Sending much love from one brown girl to another ❤️❤️❤️

Yesss fellow Monica here! I prefer longer videos so this is a treat for me ☺️❤️ wishing you the best always!

hiii, just want to say thank youuu so much for the tips, especially the purple blush! i tried it and i super duper LOVE it!

@makeupbymonicaa Can’t believe this is your first long-form video. With your smooth style and significant followership I assumed you’d been making these way longer. Even though I’ll probably never pursue content creation, you do give me some hope. And I love your tips! I’m pretty good at figuring out lip shades that work well for me, but face makeup has always been a little trickier because I’m on the border of neutral/olive/warm. When I saw you were talking about color theory, I thought you’d go about it a different (equally good) way, but this was so helpful! Love your pointers on setting powder, lip shades, blush… and the blue pigment! What?!!! I’ve got to look for that now.

as a brown girlie who loves makeup THANK YOU for this! we need representation and education for our unique skin tone. looking forward to more of your videos!! ☺️🥳

Love love love! Thank you for sharing! I have a much deeper complexion but can see the transferable tips to try some new things!

I adore your short form content and I have been WISHING thank you did long form content so I am so HYPED. I hope you have all the fun in the world doing long form because I selfishly want as many long videos as you are willing to give!!!

Thank you queen. I’m a fair -medium olive with high hyperpigmentation and your tips have help me a lot.

That blue corrector is such a good tip! I tend to become more neutral toned in certain parts of the year, so something like that on hand would have made such a difference!

Girl you killed it for your first full length youtube video!! Looking forward to more long form content 🙌🏼❤️

thank you SO MUCH for making this video!! as a brown girl u r fr the only influencer i trustttt

Im an olive toned neutral girlie and your videos help me so much❤

Absolutely stanning this! You go gurl! I needed this video so much. Keep your authenticity and promise to making brown girly content ❤

I absolutely love your work! Really appreciate the science behind it all.

Please do more of these long videos! And would love to see drugstore dupes for your high-end favs

This is REVOLUTIONARY. You have helped me so so so much!!

I had the same problem with makeup and having brown skin and a greenish warm undertone. I am usually having to mix foundations, but that blue color mixer is awesome and works great. These tips are extremely helpful thank you. Now if i can only find a longwear shade that matches my skin and covers dark spots on cheeks.

I love your shorts and now i LOVE your new horizontal video! 💖

i'm sooooo happy you're doing long form content!!!!

You have no idea how much I appreciate and love your channel!

OMG a long video! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you have made me very happy! Keep em coming.

Omg it's finally here! A long YT ❤ can't wait for more! Thank you for starting this

Oh yay! 🎉 I am not a brown girl and I am also old lol 😂. I love your videos! I love watching the science behind the make-up. I just love seeing you succeed! Get um girl! ❤

I wish you were around 39 years ago! I've learnt so much from you.. Since my youth I could never find the right shade or type of foundation and concealer so I've never worn either my entire life. I'm totally clueless when it comes to picking the right shade.. even when I go to a make counter for assistance they always use shades that are far to dark for me or bring out my pigmentation making it look grey. And I can never find the right shade of 'nude' lipstick as they just don't look any good one me so I always end up going for bold shades! Please keep doing what you do, I've picked up so many tips from you! Thank you ❤🇬🇧❤

Yay to long form videos! Keep em coming ❤ .. so many useful tips in this video. Can't wait for more!

Omg!!! Love it !!!!!! Please keep sharing for our brown girlie community. ..❤❤❤❤❤

So happy to find you … brown girl makeup guidance is so hard to find!!! Subscribed ❤❤❤

This video is Gold ❤️✨️❤... Have been following your channel closely, and it has been life changing in terms of makeup

Love your content and very excited about your first long-form video!! My skin is so odd because i have deep skin with pinky undertones. Not red, not neutral, but pink lol. there's like 3 foundations that match lol

Your color theory tip about purple lipgloss for that pink lip effect on brown girls was the best make up tip ever!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the long form content from you! Please keep it coming ❤❤❤

So excited to see you in an actual youtube video! Love your content so much!

Yaaaaaay! Love love love this format & your make up tips were on point.

Love, love , love the video, thanks for the makeup tips. Really do not know why you didn’t do one earlier. We are here for it, keep it up ❤

welcome to the long format!!! love getting to see you more :D

As someone that often needs the absolute lightest shade available, I just watched this entire thing and have no regrets. 💟

They eye look though…literally so luminous ❤

So as a fellow Brown girl. I found that there's a couple of Mac foundations that if you blend them together like right in between the two shades is a perfect match for us. I'm hurting and I have had a hell of a time trying to find makeup for like my golden Olive complexion. Love your videos you seem like an absolute sweetheart!

The blue pigment tip made my week. Thank you!

i love your videos, as a latina with light brown skin and hyperpigmentation , a feel very glad and supported by your content

This was so informative and super helpful! I appreciate all your work in discovering the best make up for brown girls. You are the real MVP!

I am Deepica era so I already knew some of these tips but thx to you, once I figured out not all browns = warm, it changed the game! No more orange foundation, no more warm blush/lips. The cool pinks suit me really well. I got that purple blush and it just looks purple on me lol. I have a medium, NOT deep, neutral olive skintone FWIW.

I love the subtitlessss and all of your makeup lookssss❤❤❤
