Hello hello! It's been awhile, but I am indeed back-& with a brand new channel to boot! I ran a contest on my Facebook page about a week ago to help me name my new channel, & at the end there were not only one, but TWO winners! "Murderously Warped Makeup" has been created, & again, congrats to Crissie Clark & Vicki DesRuisseaux for winning!
With the birth of my new channel, I did in fact carry over 2 tutorials from my previous channel: "Creepy Rabbit" & "Clowns Will Have You in Stitches" ( which was the last one I did on my previous channel). Since then, I've also done a new tutorial, a recent review, & another tutorial is in the works & will be posted very soon. The question in regards to why I shut down my previous channel has indeed been asked, well, here's the answer for all of you: I tend to be very self-critical & as with anyone, I have my times of frustration. Working so hard to create a tutorial & not getting the response you had hoped for is very disappointing. I 'm fully aware that not only is YouTube a very vast world with a large number of makeup artists, but also that because my tutorials fit into the realm of "not-so-ordinary", they aren't everyone's cup of tea. In the grand scheme of things, I unfortunately let my doubts get the best of me-& yes, I did regret it afterwards. In any case of placing yourself in the public eye, you open the door to many different opinions & criticisms. If someone doesn't care for the type of makeup I do, they won't always spare me the negative comments-everyone is entitled to their own opinion, & some are not the slightest bit shy about stating it, lol.There were a few cases of "OUCH", but to throw up my hands & say " I quit" was nothing more than a display of letting others break me down.
Having a sensitive heart is often a blessing as well as a curse, & as difficult as it is sometimes, I have to remain true to myself & the kind of makeup I choose to do. Many aspects of my personality shine through in my videos, it is 100% me,& I refuse to make any apologies for that. Yes, people can be cruel, & I'm not the only one who has ever experienced that. The compliments I receive mean a great deal, & they far outweigh the negativity. Having people believe in me & my ability is very motivating, but I also have to believe in myself, for I cannot fully succeed in my endeavors if I don't.
I urge you all to check out the "about" section of my channel, for I have dedicated it to two people who had tremendous compassion, strength & intelligence. I go into a little more detail about it in my recent review video, so check that out as well! Please rate, comment & subscribe to my channel, it really helps me out! Check out my Facebook page & give it a like as well if you would, I greatly appreciate it!
Thank you to all of you who have shown so much support & encouragement, & to all of those unique, artistic, creative & talented souls out there- keep on keepin' on & don't ever stop being you!
