I think showing my family, showing my culture, showing my gayness makes people so proud.
00:00:07.380
Like, representation is probably one of the few things that gets me emotional.
00:00:18.220
Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Comment Section Show,
00:00:24.080
We're on to the wonderful guests, everyone's favorite part of every episode.
00:00:30.300
Today's very special guest is the one and only, the ledge, the iconic, Patrick Starr.
00:00:55.920
I'm new to the social media, but, like, this age girl is not.
00:00:59.640
It's so funny because I posted a birthday thing of myself, like, saying it was my birthday.
00:01:17.080
Look at us dressed for our own funerals, apparently.
00:01:24.900
I mean, I just got up, tucked my dick back, and put on some lashes for you hoes up in here.
00:01:32.820
Anytime I get to meet you, I bumped into you at the red carpet.
00:01:44.380
That's actually what I love about you because I know you take your family a lot of places, too.
00:02:00.660
Yeah, on other brand trips, other influencers would be like, how did you get, like, a plus
00:02:25.200
But you have been on social media for so long, and you're, like, such a huge name in the
00:02:32.920
So, like, but now you're, like, Miss CEO, girl.
00:02:47.400
Yeah, my hair and makeup artist used them on me all the time.
00:03:15.440
I was like, let me be fucking Ellen on her show or Oprah, whatever.
00:03:33.300
And this month or around this time, 2023 marks my 10-year anniversary on YouTube.
00:03:40.140
Since starting my little gay channel, being a little gay boy.
00:03:50.380
How do you think social media as a whole, especially in the beauty world, I feel like it's shifted
00:03:55.140
dramatically with the introduction of like TikTok and everything.
00:03:57.860
So like, have you seen things change a lot when it comes to the beauty influencer world
00:04:04.580
You know, a few influencers have asked me, like, even last night at an event, like, what
00:04:20.100
We all want to communicate and we all want to connect.
00:04:22.440
The means of communicating and connecting have changed.
00:04:25.680
You know, if you think about our parents' or grandparents' age, it was like horseback and
00:04:31.420
letters and by candlelight and a quill writing love letters to each other and we're just
00:04:43.440
I don't know about you guys at home, but yeah, I think if you want to connect with people
00:04:50.660
and communicate, the means of communicating and connecting have vastly changed.
00:04:55.960
But if I think about how we're using the mediums and the bridges like TikTok, like social media,
00:05:06.600
Yeah, it just like shifts a little, but the essence stays the same, right?
00:05:10.460
I think, too, with you, like, because you've grown so far past social media, like, now you're
00:05:15.780
like a whole brand, bitch, a whole CEO, a whole celeb.
00:05:18.980
Like, do you think that when you look, are you like, do you still love makeup the same?
00:05:24.600
Has your, like, love for makeup changed maybe in the sense that you love more on the product
00:05:28.960
Like, because you obviously have your own brand and you create your own brand.
00:05:31.260
Do you still love doing looks or is it kind of the same?
00:05:37.500
I love the beauty industry because it has literally changed my life.
00:05:42.080
And when I meet people to this day, you know, I'm in esthetician school right now.
00:05:47.840
And my classmate, she has a niece and she's 13 and she told her niece that she's in school
00:05:55.200
And I was like, she's not going to know who the fuck I am.
00:06:01.980
So she came in to get a facial and a brow lamination.
00:06:10.980
What the hell are you watching a 33 year old fat bald Asian man on social media for?
00:06:20.360
And it's crazy that makeup has allowed me to connect.
00:06:24.420
And even furthermore, Patrick Starr, the idea of Patrick Starr, this character that I created
00:06:29.420
10 years ago has saved me, you know, because I was supposed to be a nurse.
00:06:34.120
I was supposed to do something completely different.
00:06:36.000
But as I've come to learn over the years, my presence online has been able to connect
00:06:43.820
That's why I think showing my family, showing my culture, showing my gayness makes people
00:06:50.160
What's so powerful, like representation is probably one of the few things that gets me
00:06:57.680
But like, it's so, it's just speaks so much, so many volumes, like, especially when you're
00:07:03.500
being so authentically yourself and like not being afraid because social media is rancid,
00:07:10.780
It can be really, really terrible too, because terrible people exist in every, you know,
00:07:18.940
So the fact that you're so prominent still, even though you're hitting 10 years now, you're
00:07:24.360
still so incredibly prominent because the representation is so powerful.
00:07:32.140
Like you were supposed to go one way, you went the other way.
00:07:37.020
I like did not think in a million years, did you ever think this was going to happen?
00:07:42.060
Oh, but you know, everything around me, like I want everyone to know at home, like every
00:07:45.420
everything and everyone around me was against me being Patrick Starr.
00:07:50.940
And if I think about the idea of construct and, you know, generational expectation from
00:07:57.720
like parents and especially being Filipino or any, any type of culture you're coming
00:08:02.180
from, there's a certain expectation religiously too.
00:08:07.000
And so when I think about Patrick Starr, no one raised Patrick Starr.
00:08:10.600
I was like, I can be, that bitch can be whoever the fuck that person wants to be.
00:08:15.100
And so it was kind of like a saving persona for me and I wouldn't have it any other way.
00:08:22.180
And it gets you, it gives you a chance to express yourself in a completely different way.
00:08:26.840
I think, especially since gender is a construct, it's not real, babe.
00:08:31.060
So we can do, be whatever it is we want to be and we don't have to adhere to any one box
00:08:40.600
But speaking of changing paths, like, like you said, you're an esthetician school.
00:08:47.420
Listen, when you asked me earlier about like, do I still love makeup?
00:08:50.780
I think when I think about the idea of makeup and being transformative, I was like, I just
00:08:57.300
And I think doing makeup for 10 years, like how many fucking smoky eyes can I do online
00:09:04.700
Like, like how many full coverage foundation tutorials and baking tutorials and lash tutorials
00:09:10.800
And so I was like, you know, I think I really want to go skin deep and really find out the
00:09:17.140
And when I think about, um, health, mental health, emotional health, physical health,
00:09:25.000
Um, and I thought about my physical health affecting like my emotional health and my
00:09:29.860
And I was like, how do I align all of these ideas of wellness into what I already do?
00:09:36.180
So it becomes me and esthetician is an extension of beauty.
00:09:40.840
So it was like, if I want to, and you know, pissing me off like TTTT.
00:09:44.240
These fucking celebrities, skincare, celebrity too, the celebrity skincare brands.
00:09:56.780
I'm not going to drop names, but we, we, we all know who they are.
00:10:02.460
If they're reaching out to me to promote their shit, like I might as well be the credible
00:10:07.800
bitch, you know, cause they're, they're not going to school.
00:10:11.120
I mean, I, I'm sure they have the money and the scientists and all of that, but I was
00:10:14.540
like, if I really want to fuck with, um, my audience and, and have a credible point of
00:10:19.840
education at 33, I was like, I'm gonna go back to school, bitch.
00:10:24.900
I have school tonight, by the way, so I better not be late.
00:10:29.720
I think that's, what's beautiful is that you're talking about how you have essentially
00:10:35.420
conquered the beauty industry in terms of makeup.
00:10:37.320
Like you've, you've been there, done that, conquered it, proven time and time again, you're an
00:10:41.600
expert in the field, but you, now you're like, you're tackling a different like expression
00:10:46.840
of beauty, like, which is natural beauty, which is skincare.
00:10:49.660
Because I think a lot of times some people, men, like terrible men or like pick me's will
00:10:56.360
think that you can't have one without the other.
00:10:58.440
Like you're either a chapstick and mascara girly or you're a full beat down bitch.
00:11:03.820
Like you can't be both, but you're proving that it is possible to express yourself in both
00:11:10.840
Listen to all those pick me assholes out there, with or without makeup, I still got a dick
00:11:15.660
and my bank account is still the motherfucking same period and that's poetry, literally
00:11:25.900
And it goes far beyond gender or sexuality or anything like that.
00:11:30.460
I sometimes I'll see videos of dudes and they're like, take off that makeup and let's see if
00:11:38.320
Take your swimming with the one size until dawn setting spray, bitch.
00:11:44.180
When I tell you I'll go, I'll go dive head first into the ocean, come out looking exactly
00:11:49.800
The hair might be a little different, but the beat will stay the same.
00:11:52.040
But can I just say really quick, you are so, like to camera, this bitch is so fucking
00:12:01.380
I was like, my, my, my brother, Peter, I was like, Peter, I look like a toe.
00:12:07.780
She's so, you're tall and your mom was rocking a red lip, badass bitch.
00:12:13.080
I was like, let me stand behind this bodyguard right now.
00:12:16.700
It's going to fucking knock me looking like, it was the enchanted Disney premiere.
00:12:24.520
It's just like, I think ever since your, your success and rise on social media, you can
00:12:30.020
You deserve to be at the Disney premiere and you deserve every amount of success.
00:12:44.220
When I saw you at the premiere, I was like, your makeup looked so good, bitch.
00:12:49.020
And the fact that I know you did it yourself is crazy.
00:13:00.060
I think it's so great that you're getting into skincare now and you're like really trying
00:13:07.240
And then obviously makeup just enhances what you already have.
00:13:09.920
And you know, it's so funny that, that, that ever since I started announcing like skincare
00:13:15.000
Like, so I have to ask like friends and family to come in to do electrical facials, waxing,
00:13:21.840
But, um, so some, some boys on Dickity Talk are willing to come in.
00:13:27.160
And I'm just like, that just goes to show that people that are influencing like straight
00:13:31.360
men that are on Dick Talk trending are like, Hey, like, can you help you with my skin or
00:13:38.360
And I'm just like, there ain't no like delineation or way to look at beauty.
00:13:50.020
The way I've like highly encouraged cis, het, white men or men in general to just care about
00:14:30.320
I think there's nothing more attractive than someone who takes care of themselves like
00:14:35.660
that, like cares enough about themselves to like be like, Hey, I want to wash my face.
00:14:40.920
And you know, I've been saying this year to anyone like asking me for advice on business
00:14:45.440
and influencing like the greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of self-awareness.
00:14:51.060
Like even if you just wash your, wipe your ass, bitch, crusty, dusty, comb your hair.
00:14:58.340
Even if you don't have a hairline, like, come on.
00:15:11.760
We out here, but self-awareness I think is like the most beautiful thing.
00:15:14.960
And when guys take care of themselves, girls, and everyone has the right to feel beautiful
00:15:22.280
and do that, it's like so powerful and no one can fuck with you at that point.
00:15:25.860
And there's no one way to look or feel like, to look beautiful or be perceived as beautiful,
00:15:31.460
which is what terrible, the terrible men who hate me, they're always like, you're ugly.
00:15:48.380
And I'm like, because they say like, oh, like you're ugly.
00:15:52.220
And then I say, well, that's rich coming from you because you're also ugly.
00:15:57.340
And then that's just like the meanest thing they could ever hear from someone.
00:16:05.840
I can't even imagine the amount of hate you've gotten over the last 10 years.
00:16:08.580
Oh, all the time when I'm going to show my age.
00:16:11.760
The first time that Instagram launched videos, it was 15 seconds long.
00:16:22.460
And I think the first one, because I was doing YouTube and I was like so anti like Instagram video.
00:16:35.740
So then I remember, I think because it was like a new way of posting on the platform, it
00:16:40.460
was like preferred on the explore page and they were just rolled out video.
00:16:44.120
And I think it got like a million views in like an hour or two.
00:16:49.140
And then overnight I gained 25,000 followers and there was like 35,000 comments.
00:16:58.100
And every time I posted, I would gain 25 to 35,000 followers each time.
00:17:07.460
At the same time, I was like, why is everyone posting the gun emoji and the moon face?
00:17:18.280
But I think had or not experienced prejudice working at the mall, like in a full face of
00:17:22.500
makeup, like people staring and just snickering and talking shit.
00:17:25.820
Like it was, I think it prepared me for, and also being bullied at school, it just prepared
00:17:38.140
It means even less coming from a faceless profile online, honestly.
00:17:43.200
And then if you do find what they look like, you're like, that's why you feel that way.
00:17:56.540
And you know, okay, so back to skincare, because obviously that's what our topic is going to
00:18:01.500
be today, because Patrick is a newfound expert.
00:18:10.840
But this is how, like, that's your new path, your new journey.
00:18:13.580
And I loved what you said about beauty being skin deep.
00:18:15.860
And it doesn't always have to look one way or fit into one particular box.
00:18:19.840
It can, like, be expressed in so many different ways, whether it's with, like, actual makeup
00:18:24.240
products or just beautiful skincare in general.
00:18:27.360
So we're going to talk about skincare, but more specifically how it's been very, like,
00:18:34.320
So, like, taking care of your skin is typically, they're like, oh, that's feminine to take
00:18:39.780
Like, I've talked about this on the show in the past, too, where some men, like, think
00:18:44.840
it's, like, they think it's gay to wear sunblock in general, but especially on your face.
00:18:50.680
Because I'm like, you think you're tough enough to fight the sun?
00:18:55.960
Like, you want to age like a grape, I guess that's on you, but.
00:19:01.460
I think self-care is changing because the way that these famous, like, pretty TikTok boys
00:19:08.420
I think when I started to look at, like, the way boys are coming up into men on TikTok,
00:19:15.720
like, all the popular TikTok boys doing the dances, like, I see it happening through working
00:19:21.060
out, like, lifting, and I'm seeing, like, weightlifting TikTok, and, like, gym talk,
00:19:27.480
and all of that, and, you know, like, all of them are, like, posting, like, gym stuff.
00:19:31.700
And I'm like, that's a form of beauty, and that's a form of self-care.
00:19:35.900
And I think it's just a matter of time until it transfers over to the face because-
00:19:44.080
The fuck you look like walking- and then you want to be on the red carpet with us?
00:19:54.900
I once told a kid who wrote- he wrote some of the racist, most fatphobic shit ever to
00:20:03.340
I'd hate me, too, if I had- my rosacea was that bad, babe.
00:20:12.920
He didn't get the joke at all, but I ate him up.
00:20:16.560
He's not smart enough to get it, but I ate him up.
00:20:22.780
I mean, you are doing the Lord's work here on Mother Earth, getting these guys together.
00:20:28.900
It just baffles me how you say- how are they reproducing?
00:20:32.820
No, truly, I saw this one kid wrote something really, really awful, relatively recently,
00:20:39.580
actually, like a few days ago, and he had a picture of himself.
00:20:45.840
They take some of the worst photos of themselves, like CSI, last seen alive.
00:20:52.540
That's what they always look like, their selfies.
00:20:54.600
And he had this picture, and all I wrote back to him, I literally wrote, how come I can
00:20:58.420
see the plaque on your teeth and your back is to the sun?
00:21:07.700
Like, I want to ask you, do you have, like, a temper meter that says, like, I'm going to
00:21:14.340
Like, if you hit me- if you give me a five, like, you're going to fucking get it.
00:21:27.500
Yeah, I'm like, could someone edit it in the wrong way?
00:21:30.840
Because we've seen our fair share of drama and twists and turns and fan edits and drama
00:21:35.240
Yeah, like, where they kind of take things out of context.
00:21:38.820
So, especially with me and, like, the nature of what it is I do, like, they clip shit out
00:21:45.000
Like, I was with my friend Nita on the show and we talked about how men are, like, women
00:21:51.500
belong in the kitchen, blah, blah, blah, like that 1950s rhetoric.
00:21:55.560
And then she said, like, well, and men are supposed to go to war and die and here you
00:22:07.460
That's why I was like, they do that anyway, so I might as well be mean out the gate.
00:22:10.880
So, it's just never, you know, I will tell a joke, but I will never tell a lie.
00:22:23.380

Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:23:23.020
How it's been gendered and how the needle is moving, I would say, in terms of like some
00:23:28.860
men being so much more comfortable expressing like that they like to take care of themselves,
00:23:34.680
There are just always terrible dudes being like, that's gay, blah, blah, blah, whatever
00:23:44.500
Yeah, I think just mind your own fucking business.
00:23:53.940
You make your money the way you make your money and we make our money the way we make our
00:24:00.680
Okay, so we're going to talk about basically the stigmas on skincare, why it shouldn't be
00:24:05.500
that way, but it is to some extent, especially on social media.
00:24:09.380
So typically what we do in the comment section is we bring videos that I was tagged in, bring
00:24:13.240
them here that are applicable to our topic, kiki, laugh, make all the jokes about it.
00:24:17.020
So for this first video that we have, I just do little summaries of them.
00:24:22.740
A man is making a video showing his daily three-step morning skincare routine, which
00:24:33.420
Hold on, you act like I got my fucking license yet.
00:24:53.280
Well, it sounds like that's a really great start to a skincare routine, honestly.
00:24:58.260
Say it again, because I was getting flashbacks from last night's class.
00:25:04.240
Toner, toner, slash serums, and sunscreen at the end.
00:25:12.560
A lot of men, a lot of men are asking me like, oh, I need a good eye cream.
00:25:20.740
Yeah, because especially when you're drinking, like if you think about these men going out
00:25:25.720
and drinking, the first thing to show signs of aging is the thinnest skin around your
00:25:30.360
It's the lips and also the eyes, but the eyes are what we look at.
00:25:42.060
Okay, so some of the comments on this video, this is where the tea gets in there.
00:25:45.960
But the first one says, a real man uses Vaseline, gay behavior starts here.
00:26:05.860
If you have, I feel like if you have oily skin, that's a really bad idea.
00:26:13.360
Which means you're going to clog your fucking pores.
00:26:20.100
I think like slugging is like, was like a trend.
00:26:23.880
It's like a trend to like trap your moisture on your face.
00:26:28.700
And also I feel like it depends on your skin type too, though.
00:26:34.380
I realized when a lot, the trend of like retinols, if you think about like where the
00:26:39.240
idea of retinols are coming from, can I talk about skin for a little bit?
00:26:43.540
So what I learned in school is that you have to look at your skin type.
00:26:49.600
You have to look at your age because when you're in your 20, 25.
00:26:59.700
So their skin turnover is every seven to 14 days.
00:27:05.900
When you're in your 20 to 25, your skin is shedding probably every 28 days.
00:27:12.000
Now, the older you get, the slower your turnover and your skin is happening.
00:27:17.720
If you think about these companies that have older scientists and older women and men creating
00:27:24.520
retinol for the public to see, retinol is to increase cellular turnover in your skin.
00:27:33.040
So if you think about it, a lot of these kids that are in their 20, 21, 22, like I need
00:27:42.720
It's like, bitch, your skin is already on a good cycle every 28 days.
00:27:47.180
And you're adding retinol to speed it up for what?
00:27:59.420
So I would say maybe start retinol maybe in your like mid 20s to like late 20s and slowly
00:28:06.580
incorporate it because you're just going to keep like over exfoliating all the time.
00:28:10.520
And that's also not something you use every single day.
00:28:15.380
So like do I want to use retinol or retin-A, which is a prescription to turn over the skin?
00:28:20.860
Or do you just need a good exfoliation on your skin?
00:28:25.920
Like my friend was like, I'm using retinol, retinol.
00:28:27.600
And I like a year ago, I was, I was that bitch at my age.
00:28:32.460
So I had eczema and I was like a retinol whore.
00:28:36.960
Like, and my esthetician was like, babe, you're fine.
00:28:46.260
That was me when I moved home from Hawaii because I lived in Hawaii for like five years when I
00:28:53.000
And the moisture in the air is so heavy because it's so humid there.
00:29:00.500
I thought my skin was oily or like it's more a combo, but it leans towards dry.
00:29:06.960
So then when I moved home, I'm still using really mattifying like makeup products, no
00:29:23.780
I would just use a cleanser and that's pretty much it.
00:29:26.260
And then I wondered why my skin was losing its mind when I moved back home.
00:29:34.140
I also learned about two different words like sensitive skin and sensitized skin.
00:29:40.960
Sensitive skin is something that you personally have a sensitivity to.
00:29:49.620
So your skin was sensitized because of your switch environmentally.
00:29:54.140
When I move or move, when I visit like really humid places, like I was in Florida in September,
00:30:03.760
It's just like the ultimate humbling experience always.
00:30:09.460
I'm like, I don't love humidity, but if the skin thrives, I might just have to go there.
00:30:14.160
Because then the beat looks great, too, when the skin feels good.
00:30:35.200
Yeah, I have a very extensive skincare now that I'm in esthetician school.
00:30:42.900
I have a permanent light attached to my mirror in case I just want to review anything.
00:30:49.300
I mean, if you're in school, obviously, that would make me acutely aware of everything.
00:30:53.800
This is the classic case of like toxic masculinity where they're like, it's so feminine to like wash your face, rest your teeth.
00:31:03.260
Yeah, it's, I mean, just brush your fucking teeth and skedaddle on, bitch.
00:31:08.240
Like, go jerk off to your grandma and go to bed.
00:31:11.660
I think, too, like, some, I don't know why you would ever find it feminine to like be clean.
00:31:18.660
To like take care of your skin, to like want nice skin.
00:31:23.940
The insecurities, I think, come from, you know, like their environment.
00:31:30.840
And it's just a matter of them being introduced to like social media to see this whole other immersive world.
00:31:37.400
That's why I think a lot of people want to be a transplant in L.A.
00:31:41.560
There's so much to do because in their conservative town, they didn't have those.
00:31:46.720
Like, no kind of exposure to anyone or anything like that.
00:31:51.360
I just think it's so like, it's so bonkers to be like, that's so gay.
00:32:05.020
Okay, this last comment says, nah, I'm just washing my face.
00:32:09.000
That's all too, I'm, that's all, I'm too lazy to have this.
00:32:26.280
Anytime we see them haters, just put your little Amazon commission link.
00:32:46.160
The amount of blackheads that I see on the daily.
00:32:49.400
Are you just so much more aware of it now that you're in school?
00:32:53.620
It's like almost like pointing out like something that you just can't unsee at that point.
00:32:57.080
Yeah, I think in my generation, we could just see tracks now that I'm edumacated.
00:33:07.720
And when I'm doing it, I'm like, yeah, you have a little everything bagel right here.
00:33:10.640
I'm going to take out the little poppy seeds, sesame seeds.
00:33:22.380
The way that like, yeah, men sometimes will walk around with like, they'll walk around
00:33:27.560
with like, they smell, they didn't brush their teeth.
00:33:30.500
And then they're like, at least I didn't wash my face today.
00:33:35.960
If you want to take that, by all means, babe, that's all you.
00:33:40.200
Yeah, these assholes just walking the earth just need to take a step back and look at
00:34:08.780
Would you like, are you a loofah girl or are you a washcloth girl?
00:34:20.920
And then for my body, I have like the little silicone scrubber.
00:34:29.920
They're like literally like, and they're really exfoliating too.
00:34:46.860
Yeah, I'm going to snag those gloves for your Amazon storefront.
00:34:59.340
Have you ever seen a man's like loofah and it's like beat to shit?
00:35:03.960
And the little pubes and disgusting bits and crusty stuff.
00:35:08.960
One time, my friend was dating this guy and sometimes we would go over to his house and
00:35:12.740
like, I was just always there because like, they're like, come with me.
00:35:16.820
So I'm just like a business person on the trip.
00:35:20.400
I'm just here for a good time, not a long time.
00:35:23.000
And I just remembered like whenever I would use the restroom at his house, that loofah
00:35:27.400
was in the same place and was dry as hell every time, no matter how many times.
00:35:52.960
It's like almost like, you know, little kid shit, like when they go through those phases
00:35:57.300
So you tell them to go shower, get in the shower, and they just run the water.
00:36:16.920
We're all gay, but how am I the most glamorous?
00:36:18.980
And I had to comb their hair, brush their teeth, and I'm like, do you have – please come
00:36:25.280
I made my other brother, Peter, get microblading.
00:36:27.320
I'm like, you're looking a little bald right here, bro.
00:36:35.440
That's just – you know, you see something, you say something.
00:36:40.960
If you guys are listening right now and you know you have a crusty, dusty, wack-ass looking
00:36:45.760
friend right now that doesn't take care of themselves or they know someone, please use
00:36:49.100
your influence and encourage them because we're trying – like, we can't do it alone.
00:37:07.200
When I lived with my boyfriends, my boyfriend and I lived together in his parents' house for
00:37:13.500
And when his brother was living at the house, when I first moved in, I, like, moved – first
00:37:22.500
My boyfriend, thankfully, is very clean, but, like, two-boy bathrooms.
00:37:31.620
I'd open a drawer, bitch, and there's, like, an empty soda can in there.
00:37:39.900
And so I, like, cleaned the whole thing when I moved in.
00:37:49.040
And then I remember every time I would go in there, my skincare stuff was, like, depleted.
00:37:55.420
And I'd be, like, I know my boyfriend doesn't use that.
00:38:02.060
And I was, like, I think your brother's using my skincare.
00:38:08.640
I'm, like, I'm telling you right now, unless you're using it, he's using it.
00:38:14.780
He would go in there, like, Nordstrom, bitch, sample everything.
00:38:21.420
But at one point he said he was using my moisturizer as a lotion.
00:38:24.340
And I said, if I find out you're putting that anywhere that it's not supposed to be and dipping your finger back in there, I'm going to kill you.
00:38:31.360
I'm going to burn this house to the ground, bitch.
00:38:39.240
You know, I love when I have, this sounds so wrong, when I have guys come over.
00:38:43.960
When I have friends come over that are guys, you know, we're just, like, after an event.
00:38:49.240
Um, and I just want to, like, take off my makeup.
00:38:54.880
And it's so cool how even, even other makeup influencers or friends that come over, I'll be like, hey, you want to do your skincare?
00:39:01.400
And they'll be like, oh, like, what do you use?
00:39:04.980
And it's, it's kind of crazy for people that, that are gay or that, like, already have a skincare regimen of, like, two steps or three steps are still intrigued by how they can incorporate more.
00:39:14.840
Because the gag is with skincare, it's so freaking intimidating to use because everything is colorless.
00:39:21.200
You know, like, with foundation, you swatch it, you see it.
00:39:24.100
With concealer, same thing, eyeshadow, lipstick.
00:39:25.920
But with skincare, it's like, okay, this goes on, like, why does it go on first?
00:39:29.480
So, but it's really cool to see, um, but I think it's cool how.
00:39:33.800
I, and now he has his own little skincare routine.
00:39:39.380
Yeah, I was like, girl, you could have just asked.
00:39:43.100
If I find out you're using that moisturizer anywhere else, I'm going to kill you, though.
00:39:51.320
I was like, someone is dipping in, and he just told me.
00:39:58.960
Okay, so, this is a dermatologist reacting to a young guy's skincare routine.
00:40:04.080
So, he cleanses, uh, uses a hydrating serum, vitamin C, and moisturizer.
00:40:10.720
The dermatologist's only note is he's missing sunscreen.
00:40:13.980
And, obviously, men in the comments were being a big hater.
00:40:17.580
But I actually recommend, like, I never used to wear sunscreen, like, uh, skincare sunscreen or whatever.
00:40:27.400
But since I incorporated, I can't not use it now.
00:40:30.320
Even when the sun's not out, bitch, you still should put it on.
00:40:39.500
I had a math teacher in school, and it's the first time I ever heard the word melanoma.
00:40:48.700
It became a tiny dot, and they had to take, it looks like a little baby, like, ice cream scooper.
00:40:59.060
And so, I think towards the end of the year, he goes,
00:41:04.800
And so, he had to leave school and go in and scrape it out again.
00:41:08.600
And I think if men fucking knew that if you're not taking care of the largest organ in your body.
00:41:17.400
Like, on the daily and protecting it from the sun, it can be terminal in terms of, like, cancer and, you know, fucking with your melanin.
00:41:29.620
Because I, that's why I say, like, you think you're strong enough to fight the sun.
00:41:40.600
I'm not that confident in my own abilities to fight, so.
00:41:43.740
And it's something that you can't really see or, like, feel, too.
00:41:50.040
And it's, and it, it's so, like, it's crazy how quickly it can happen or it can happen over the course of, like, 20, 30 years.
00:42:00.460
And it can spread, you know, if you don't get it soon enough.
00:42:05.780
Like, whenever it's on, it's, like, everyone needs to put on sunscreen.
00:42:10.160
I haven't used it yet, but it's a mirror that has, like, a UV sensor on it.
00:42:15.060
Like, so, when you put on sunscreen, it shows, it's a black and white camera.
00:42:23.380
Once you put a sunscreen on, it turns black because it shows, like, the, the UV sensor on that.
00:42:30.920
So, eventually, when you put it all over your face, you can see your entire face.
00:42:39.320
And it's just so you know you're getting everywhere.
00:42:42.080
Yeah, just so you know where you're seeing spots.
00:42:46.480
And you can even test the, the, the strength of your type of sunscreen that you're using.
00:42:53.260
But it's kind of like a cool little compact mirror with a little camera and a selfie, so
00:43:12.340
Okay, the comments on this video were obviously very not good.
00:43:18.720
So, this first one says, doesn't sunscreen lower testosterone?
00:43:28.940
Do you know the more girth around your midsection as a man triggers more estrogen?
00:43:40.840
That's why I'm so fishy, because I have a fat gut.
00:43:52.360
It's so funny because, no, but when I do work out, I'm like, why is my facial hair
00:44:02.880
But yeah, probably it's your gut that's giving you all that womanly goodness.
00:44:08.200
No, sunscreen doesn't lower your testosterone, you fucking Neanderthal.
00:44:12.320
Okay, next comment says, that's cool, but I can wash my face with the same bar of soap
00:44:25.820
So the same bar of soap you put in between your taint and your armpit.
00:44:34.740
The way that bars of soap also hold germs, girl.
00:44:45.420
The way, I, yeah, you could for sure, I mean, you could for sure use the same bar of soap
00:44:51.920
That's not going to guarantee you the same results.
00:44:56.780
I don't need to be an esthetician to tell you that that's gross.
00:45:19.920
But he was like, I forgot lotion, which I hate because I hate being dry and cracked.
00:45:29.940
I was like, I need to go to the store and buy lotion.
00:45:34.000
So I literally just got dressed and I was like, I'm going to go to the store and just buy some
00:45:40.580
And he was like, oh, he goes, didn't you say you had to buy lotion?
00:46:03.100
He's just scooping it out and he's going all over his body.
00:46:23.580
I would much rather you do that than be like, I could just use my dial soap and wipe my face with it.
00:47:03.680
Well, you can also still get acne underneath a beard.
00:47:18.340
You know, when I used to get facials, my facials would tell me I had five hairs in one follicle.
00:47:43.400
And that's why I sit in front of all these lights.
00:47:55.520
Like, I also think, too, everyone's skin is so different.
00:48:24.760
This is what you would look like if you were a good fucking person.
00:48:27.240
And since you're not, this is what you look like.
00:48:46.620
I think, too, I've had, like, I've had some dudes comment on, like, they say, like,
00:48:57.240
And sometimes I'm like, you're lucky I don't make skin jokes a lot.
00:49:01.140
I don't make them a lot purely because other people may be impacted by them.
00:49:10.200
But sometimes I'm like, you have no room to talk, babe.
00:49:16.780
It's literally, like, because you don't take care of yourself.
00:49:22.840
And then sometimes on the flip side of that, I'll get tagged in videos of women who have,
00:49:29.780
So they, like, wear a lot of makeup or they show their, like, skincare routine while they're
00:49:34.260
going through their phases where their skin may flare up at certain times.
00:49:38.560
Because the way that some men are so god-awful towards them, and they're just being vulnerable
00:49:43.400
and being like, hey, I'm still beautiful regardless of my skin type.
00:49:46.740
And I'm like, and then you get mad when I tell you that you have plaque on your teeth
00:49:56.580
Clean the house before you invite people over is what I always say.
00:49:59.600
You can always tell someone by, I think in person, by their kitchen, their bathroom.
00:50:19.680
And around, like, when you look at a toilet, the back part.
00:50:27.640
The way I clean is how other people should clean, is what I always think.
00:50:41.720
I judge them by their kitchen and their bathroom, same.
00:50:45.840
Well, especially if I go over, like, when I was in my prime hoe phase in college, when
00:50:49.740
I would go to their house, if I went to their bathroom and I was.
00:51:16.480
One time, I told this story on my podcast with my sister.
00:51:18.620
One time I went over to this dude's house, but I was with another girl who wanted to hook
00:51:28.040
This is before Netflix and chill was like a thing.
00:51:32.800
So he's like, we could definitely watch a movie.
00:51:49.700
I mean, if you really want to watch a movie, I'm like, you're the one who said.
00:51:59.300
You know, the MacBooks that are like the little minis?
00:52:13.360
The way I told my friend, we went to the bathroom.
00:52:20.780
The four of you watching the little portable DVD player.
00:52:29.400
Those little mini MacBooks are small as hell, bitch.
00:52:32.680
And that's when Netflix was on the vending machines back then.
00:52:35.080
Yeah, when they were sending DVDs to your house, bitch.
00:52:43.860
And then they wonder why I have a grudge against all of them.
00:52:55.860
So we're at the end of our episode and I've had so much fun with you.
00:52:59.480
But what do you want people to know when it comes to just beauty in general?
00:53:04.920
What is something that you really want them to take away when they watch your content, especially?
00:53:14.540
And I think for anyone listening when it comes to beauty, the hard part is not being who you want to be.
00:53:23.600
Because a lot of people on social media, comments, and all these assholes that we just talked about, even friends that have, you know, success or that they're on the grind as you, sometimes opinions can derail us from who we want to keep our identity to.
00:53:43.220
So, but I think when you're watching me transform makeup or do makeovers in others or do facials, like, just know that I'm doing it because I want to do it, not because it's a trend, not because I have to post it to a sound or a hashtag.
00:53:58.960
But just, like, do whatever the fuck you want to do.
00:54:02.340
