I just wanted to write a little about the videos that Andreja from Nicolles Dreams have posted.
Here is the link to her channel on youtube.
First off, Andreja is one of my all time favorite face-up artists, and her doing these tutorial videos and answering questions people may have, it’s fantastic. Many artists keep their “secrets” to them selves, I guess in fear of loosing business or maybe because they feel that if they had to learn on their own then so should others.
I used to be like the last kind, never sharing any secrets, if I have spent AGES learning something myself then I wouldn’t teach it to others. That all changed at one of the schools I went to. I quickly learned that by sharing with others, they would share with me too, making us better than we could be alone. Of course, a few people did take advantage of me, calling or texting me to teach them something and never gave back, but some people are like that.
And now people are actually complaining about the music Andreja has chosen for her videos. Seriously. She spent hours and hours making and editing the video, doing it all for free, in her free time, just to be nice, and people are complaining. I don’t understand that at ALL. How hard is it to mute the video and put on your own music? There will always be people that are never satisfied.
I’m incredibly thankful to her for making the videos, I subscribed and will continue to follow her work for as long as she’ll make the videos and post photos online. For those who have never made videos before, it isn’t done in 5 minutes. About music choices, a lot of stuff is copyrighted, you can’t just use whatever you like, and honestly in these videos the music isn’t important at ALL.
Be grateful that an artist as known and talented as Andreja is willing to share anything at all with us! I know I am <3
