They need to be since they are paid to sell. If I'm browsing through youtube, those are the ones I skip.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">I don't need the "how to" videos either.&nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">It does seem that if one gets on the anti-haul train, for instance, many are soon to follow. They present what's trending.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">There are only a few makeup videos that I check out and most are makeup artists and a few aren't and just funny to watch.&nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">"Kackie Reviews Makeup" is just wacky, off the wall and a bolt of non-stop talking and energy. Sometimes I start my day with her.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">I do check out Michelle Wong because I like to see the application of high end products and if they're worth the money. I do skip her house tours, Chanel and Hermes bag purchases and high end trips to Vegas boutiques.&nbsp; &nbsp;</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">I watch others who are dermatologists or specialize in skincare.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">My take on youtube has always been I purchase what I like, as others have said. Those that can be influenced by the fast talking makeup videos, end up with a lot of things that they don't need,&nbsp; don't work for their skin tone or skin type and a high Visa bill.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">They get on the kick of "decluttering" and and 15 others follow within a week. The same with a certain foundation...it goes through their community like wild fire. If you see one, you've seen them all.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">Charlotte Tilbury is mentioned by most, but I don't like her makeup. I think you can find dupes anywhere. She stays on the pinks and it's not flattering on everyone. CT is in a rut and her new releases all look the same to me.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">I think what's happening is not only are they oversaturated with makeup themselves, but confused by the ridiculous amount of new products coming out daily. Some companies seem slower now to roll out new makeup/skincare.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><FONT size="4" color="#0000FF">Influencers want to be our friends. Nope, I have my own. They're&nbsp; paid to give opinions that cannot be trusted and although I may watch one or two to get kicks and giggles, I'm not running to the store to purchase their recommendations.</FONT></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 11 Sep 2022 12:22:51 GMT Shanus 2022-09-11T12:22:51Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Beauty/Influencers-ANTI-Influencing/m-p/7637719#M857271 <P>At first I didn't think too much of it.&nbsp; Now it seems to be a thing...influencers telling you NOT to buy makeup and to a lesser extent, skincare.&nbsp; Is the sky falling or are they over-correcting the makeup/skincare push of the last 2.5 to 3 years?&nbsp; "If you have 'A' don't waste your money on B, C and D.&nbsp; Oh yeah, since when?
