Taylor you never needed the circle lenses. You eyes are already big. I feel like there isn't that much of a difference. You have naturally beautiful eyes.
When she started talking ab how blurry her vision is the quality of the video decreased (bc I lost wifi connection) but I just thought it was some extremely creative artsy editing 😂😂😂
Honestly, Taylor? Your eyes are naturally doll-like in my opinion. They are large, round, and they pop! The lenses were cute but you look equally lovely without them!
omg yesss. That's why I'm done with makeup for good (only using in weddings/graduations and all that jazz) because I couldn't get used to ME anymore, and that's when I knew I had to fix my mind, not my exterior, and now I'm free/human af and there's nothing prettier than that :)
Realizing that you couldn't dissociate yourself from the image you created and completely changing your look now is an amazing thing. I'm very happy for you ^^
Im an Asian girl and I know completely how you felt. I have long been living up to people's expectation as a cute girl. I don't dare to wear glasses because they make me look ordinary and less cute. I do appreciate your courage of posting this. Thank you for inspiring me
I am a glasses wearing girl myself, but surprisingly a lot of people like glasses. There are people who wear them without needing perscription, and research has stated that people find people with glasses more trustworthy. Give them a chance, if you find the right glasses they can be very nice (though you cannot lie down on your side when wearing them).
Asian girls are beautiful, cute and sexy as they are with their natural eye shape..this fake, over done shit isn't cute at all it just looks overdone and creepy. I mean, to each their own..but so many girls in Asia are feeling inadequate and unattractive because of beauty standards such as these; it's time we look in the mirror and lift each other up for our natural beauty.
Many Japanese girls suffer from that kind of obsession. I, too, used to feel less confident without circle lenses and it was so hard to live without them. I'm not saying circle lenses are bad, but not all girls wear them just because they enlarge the eyes. They CANT live without them. It was when my boyfriend told me "I prefer you without lenses." that I could stop wearing them. All I need was love and confidence. I love you both wearing circle lenses or not. Sorry for my bad English! This video was so relatable that I wanted to express my thoughts here.
My boyfriend says the same but I still cannot stop wearing them. I think I’m going to try taking smaller steps like not wearing them everyday of the week to help me ease out of it.
At first, people may want to watch her videos because she's attractive or in Japan but its her personality/realness that has got her 600K+ subscribers coming back
Livrey리브 they're talking bout her actual eyes duh. If they mean makeup they woulda said makeup dumbass. They said what they said, and meant what they meant👋🏽
Anime eyes don't exist but still she has bigger eyes than most people. The lenses made it look like "anime eyes" because of the large iris. (like when you do a cosplay of some anime character)
Completely unrelated to the video, but does anyone else think that if there were a live action version of the movie Tangled she would be a perfect Rapunzel. Not only does she look like her but she kinda has the adorable personality too. Just a thought though :3
I'm so glad you're becoming more happy with yourself and being proud and wanting to show us who you are with your personality instead of just looks! you're beautiful inside and out ♡
Yes, they have to be fit to your eyes. Buying lenses online is very dangerous, part of an eye test is checking the diameter to be sure you would be okay with different brands (and different widths). It isn't about your eyes breathing, it's about squeezing your actual eyeball and cutting off circulation
NotMykl I totally agree with you. Unfortunately my friends don't believe me when I tell them about the dangers of poorly fitted, cheap circle lenses from the costume shop.
Agreed. But also some doctors don't know wtf they're talking about. I was given a pair of contacts and he gave me the wrong pairs. I'm now blind because he gave me the wrong ones. So really it's up to you (speaking in general) to make the decision.
also never wear contacts if you can feel them in your eyes. if you feel them, remove them immidiately. and even if you order themm from costume shop, make sure they provide enough oxygen to eyes and they are the correct size, i mean, all of the numbers have to be correct. dont wear slightly more curved lenses because they dont have your size EVEN IF THE PERSON THAT SELLS THEM TELLS YOU IT'S OKAY. it's not. if you wear them right, they are awesome. my sight stopped worsening when i started wearing lenses (i know it gets worse if i wear glasses because i tried it again later). it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. i was so happy i cried when i first put them in. apart from cleaning and putting in and out, it's basically like having your sight back. i've been wearing them for 8 years. the only problem i had was my eyes getting easily irritated or even inflamed in the first year, but then i learned that it's because they dont let enough oxygen though to the eye and changed to better ones and it's been awesome ever since.
Hanji Jaegerbombastic please refer to an optometrist. They the one who know abt the refractive error & contact lens fitting.. not even the doctor know how to do that. Opthalmologist really different than an optometrist.
Luna Mooncat I'm totally agree with you people really concern about teeth and get monthly appointment to the dentist. But somehow putting cheap lens into eyes that can lead to blindness.
So proud of you for putting your health and well being in general over the idea of the lenses adding more value to who you are! You're the best Taylor and I'd watch even if you wore no makeup ever tbh. thank you soooo much for making this video! I'm sure it'll inspire others to prioritize their health over all else as well!
i currently wear eye-enlarging contact lenses, and have been since July of 2017. they’re the same color of my natural eyes, but i always thought that because they made my eyes pop more, they made me prettier and a little different from other girls. hearing you talk about how lenses were your mask, that hit me so hard. i completely try and mask my insecurities by using lenses and changing who i naturally am. i hope i’ll be brave enough to stop wearing them soon like you❤️
Hey Taylor, I'm an Optician in Canada. If you're still noticing discomfort without wearing your lenses I'd recommend taking omega 3 supplements and doing a warm compress with a towel and massaging your lids. Also using some drops can help too. :) Blurry vision is a symptom of dry eye.
Sara Fisk Imwore prescription contact lenses for years. The white of my eyes has become dirty looking, yellowish. Can you tell me if there's anything I can do to make them white again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I feels kinda gross to me. Considering a lot of the damage she mentioned was trying to live up to an impossible standard of making herself look "unique". I don't think the solution to these feelings of insecurity is "dont worry! you still do fit this impossible standard"
Your change was gradual but it's really enjoying to watch. It was like I was growing with you, maturing through the years. You still remain to be my favorite Japan based vlogger together with mimei, and I learned alot from the both of you. Continue on discovering to yourself! 🙌🙌🙌
honestly, i think you look much better without them. you would have such nice non-lolita style but then the lenses made you look like lolita-style and it looked strange. you look so pretty and natural without them
TaraTheLoneSloth yasss same because her content is so enjoyable you just forget all the problems that you went through its because of her nature and bubbly personality i like her😍
TaraTheLoneSloth lol I didn't notice at all, I feel like it's one of those things, the person wearing them thinks they look so different, but others don't even notice!
The three most common dangers of overuse of lenses *particularly* circle lenses are 1. Corneal ulcers, 2. Eye infections, 3. blood vessel overgrowth in eye (corneal neovascularization which is non reversible). If you haven't had a contact lens check in a while, you should get one to check for this issue. Based on your verbal history, I'd be very surprised (but delighted) to hear you don't have overgrowth. It's important to have this monitored if you do have it, as it can become quite problematic and dangerous. I'm stopping myself going into more detail & boring everyone, but hopefully this (really brief and not inclusive) list will warn people of the importance of regular contact lens checks (not the same as regular eye appointments) when using contact lenses. This is why it is illegal to supply lenses online in a lot of countries, but they cannot stop you ordering them from abroad. Please get checked Taylor, it's best to know and safely monitor the condition. Xxx Rose
Milkymoles. I had a corneal ulcer around November , it was horrible and I cried for hours straight , that was one of the most agonizing pains I've ever felt in my life.
I don't want to be rude, please don't take it that way but i don't see a difference!! You have beatiful green eyes! and they already look big. I don't know, maybe i don't see a difference because i have tiny sleepy eyes! hahaha
Omg you are actually hilarious Taylor I’ve really come to love you over the last several months even though I was watching you since you started your channel XD
You look beautiful either way, but I'm glad you're going for this more natural look right now. Your eyes are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Omg I'm obsessed with them, bought so many in Japan 😭😭 The dry eye thing is real :/ I'll finish the boxes I have, but I'm not looking forward to buy them again! Thanks Taylor 😘😘
You are one of my favorite youtuber... & OMG... *I SEE NO DIFFERENCE...* I THOUGHT you were still at the same makeup routine... Gosh... You are naturally beautiful.
highkey her natural look is stunning. i also do a lot of anime inspired looks and i live in tokyo so its perfectly normal, but now i'm feeling inspired to embrace my natural face more haha.
I'm really glad that you're making this healthier change, I've been worried about the huge amount of time you seemed to spend in those lenses for a while.
You go girl. I'm glad you listened to your body. I've heard so many crazy horror stories about those lenses. I have astigmatism too, so contacts feel horrid for me. I can't even imagine what you went though with astigmatism AND wearing lenses that weren't meant for it.
Taylor R it is great that you are listening to your health and that you are changing up as well it shows real versatility in you. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine
Really? Luckyyyyyyy You might have a milder version. My eye doc says mine's pretty bad. It makes putting the contacts on SO irritating (Like I always feel like there's a giant contact shaped eyelash in my eye lol) My sister has none and she can just pop them in once and be good lol :'''')
For this reason I have my own set of rules when it comes to wearing my lenses. 1, never wear when ill or having allergy flare ups cause dry eyes be a thing 2, if I'm feeling discomfort remove immediately 3, if I wear lenses for a long time (like for conventions), I give my eyes at least the next day to breathe. 4, maintain general lense care. I've stuck to the rules no matter what and am still maintaning eye health!
That's crazy hearing that you use to wear enlarging contacts for 20 hours?? If you decide to wear them again I highly recommend the 1 day enlarging ones as it has a higher water concentration and more hygienic as you throw them out after one use. Usually the longest I wear contacts is 8 hours but not everday.
Aww, I love this. It's so important for you to be able to focus on the more important parts of yourself, without sacrificing other things. Personality, being comfortable in your body, and your mind are far more important than a specific makeup and eye enlarging style. I'm so glad you're able to do this and feel comfortable with it. You still look lovely, and most importantly, that's not what matters most about you anyway.
I think that we all have something that we use as a mask. I know it's taken me a very long time to feel comfortable in my own skin. I think that as you get older and wiser, you start to really value your life experiences and dear friends rather than superficial things. I know for me, having my daughter was a turning point because I look at her and only see beauty and when I talk badly about myself or put on a lot of make up, she is the first one to tell me how beautiful I am without it! Anyway, sorry for my novel. You are a beautiful, intelligent, and funny young woman and the things you say and do have much value!
leximus519 don't hate on those who wear makeup and sound so patronizing. Just because people wear makeup doesn't mean they have self esteem issues, are you serious? They wear it because they have high standards.
aoko sakano, I never meant to be patronizing at all. I love makeup and love experimenting with different looks. But just like everything else, it can go to an extreme as Taylor was saying. It was effecting her health and even career. I would NEVER look down on someone for using make up, because I use it everyday.
Hey, long time lurker here. As someone with anxiety who's always worried about what people think of me and my looks, I can totally relate with the mask thing and wanting to present what you think is the best version of yourself. I'm glad you feel more confident with yourself. You look gorgeous with and without, but like many people here, what I grew to love about your videos is not your big eyes but your bubbly and goofy personnality. Love your videos and wish you all the best!
I don't think anything she did before made her look superficial and I think it's kind of rude to say she looks better now.. She is beautiful either way.. though your comment may not have mean to come off as demeaning, it kind of is... =\
I’m so glad you are not defined by your makeup! You are so lovely Taylor’s both inside and out! So happy you are coming into your own as far as your style and who you are. You’re so relatable, funny, silly, just wonderful!
If you look at my profile picture here on youtube ( from like 3 years) you can see I had the same weird thing with contact lenses and eye makeup, it really becomes an addiction after some time and you feel like you are not yourself if you don't make yourself look like that. Once I stopped that I realized how much better I would look without that stuff and how much easier getting ready and my lifestyle in general was. It was a cute phase I guess but happily just a phase (still have the photo tho cause I'm too lazy to remove it 😂) Really nice video Taylor and btw you look gorgeous naturally. Really like your new style !!
i also struggled with this wanting to wear contacts all the time. i only feel pretty with them bc my natural eyes look boring and dull. but like you said it became unhealthy to wear them too much and i actually had a minor eye infection and had to stop wearing them. thankfully, my vision is still good. now i really don’t feel pretty or confident at all without them and idk what to do. i
that decision!!! I did not notice your change before this video but now i love you more than any time Taylor. Just be yourself who is smart, funny and sincere, not a person who tries to be a weird "doll".
Taylor! Thanks for uploading this video! I had the same problem as well and used to be "addicted" to them. Now I don't wear them after my eyesight got worse. It's good that you addressed the audience about this!
You know, you're really pretty with and without lens. And I prefer the real you than the fake dolly you. I watch you videos because you make me laugh. I love your imagination and crazyness ❤
I’ve been using round contacts for about 15 years and never had any issues and this is daily use .. i just wash my hands and don’t exceed 8 hrs of use .. and wash the contacts once every two weeks and dispose of them after 3-4 months sometimes 5 months.. I’ve never had any issues but i know because they are big and cover the white part of the eye 👁️ it’s suffocating your eye 👁️ please don’t exceed 8 hrs or you can loose your vision.. or worse experience infections
i feel like a lot of people, especially on the internet, hate change and might not let you move on from your past, but your past is still who you are/were and i just want to say that i admire the way you have grown and matured and everyday are loving and accepting yourself even more! Even if you weren't completely 'natural' before, i've never thought you were fake, just simply growing up, learning things, making changes and being human, i think you're really inspirational in your own way
I always thought you looked adorable with the dolly look, but now you look like an actual human being. You've transformed from a cute object to a mature, beautiful woman. Congratulations on your evolution. I admire your bravery!
@@nelia9410 A doll is an object. She was trying to project something more cute and perfect than a human. Now she's herself, not afraid to be a whole person with real flaws and a personality. Get what I mean?
@@progressivepagan5575 youre overanalyzing this lol dolls look cute, the look they have it's cute,almost non of the girls who do that type of makeup try to be perfect, it just looks cute
I feel like you have no idea how bright and funny and spunky you are or how much you have to offer those people who follow you. We all learn these lessons as we go and to see your process of self realisation and growth is pretty special. Just be Taylor and people who truly care about you will still love you in every iteration. Taylor’s a really special person...trust yourself and don’t hurt yourself to be what you are not. If that makes sense! Thanks for sharing these things and little Rosie!
I think it's insane that you can just but contacts online. When I got prescription lenses, they fitted them to the shape and curvature of my eye. It must damage them to do that
Right. If you go to an optometrist, or just look at your prescription if you already wear contacts, they'll have a specific size and curvature on them. I've never bought color lenses before since I had trouble finding some for astigmatism, but the sites I checked allowed you to pick. Also, some brands may make contact lenses that are more porous, since there are prescription lenses that are like that.
Ahahaha i loved it when you smatched the contact lenses XD As for what i've given up recently... it's been 1 year since i stopped wearing foundation and my skin is so much better now :)
I am happy that you saw how harmful you were treating your body (eyes) and chose to stop such harmful behaviour. I only hope that other people see that doing physical damage to your body is not worth it. Try to become the person you want to become without damaging your body.
You're def beautiful but I think your fans watch you because your hilarious. Anyone who describes something as cute "like bacteria" is def unique and funny!
A few years ago I used to wear them a lot as well... I still really like the big eye look but I don't need that to feel pretty anymore. I know I was kind of addicted to this living doll thing so I'm happy that I'm going for a more mature look nowadays.
I've always thought your eyes are so pretty. Really happy you're stopping now for the best of your health. I think you look really pretty looking more natural. ❤❤
As an optometry student I'm really glad that you've made this video about contact lenses and your complications. Often people don't understand the risks involved with contact lens use, especially large lenses without consulting with an optometrist first. This is actually my first time watching one of your videos and I have to say you are very beautiful, even with barely any makeup/accessories. You've also got a lovely personality and I really believe that your career will continue to grow. :)
I've already commented on a previous video you made about your eyes that you look so much better without lenses and I stick to it. Also I didn't even notice you weren't wearing them on the previous videos, your eyes are naturally big and beautiful so you go girl!!!! 💪😎❤️ Love you lots!!! 🤗😘
Early Squad where you at? Btw Taylor you are adorable no matter what ❤💓✌✨love ya 😊and this is a great video cuz you explained the trouble of wearing contact lenses and would help alot to all of us or people who are thinking to start wearing contact lenses ✨💓 thanks for this video
I loved that you had a doll face, street wear style and a funny and kind of savage personality. It was the sickest mixture ahah, but either way you still pretty gurllll 💖
I know I loved that too! I support her 100% & I think everyone's style goes through many changes, it's her time but I'm actually just getting into this style haha
I TOTALLY GET YOU! I did the same thing, but my addiction was green or blue contacts. I remember that a certain group of people thought my eyes where beautiful and real and I never corrected them. That was the beginning of me not wanting to take them off, and eventually I was wearing them 24/7 , literally SLEEPING with them on for days at a time. I had them on for about a month at one time and I actually lost them in the back of my eyeball constantly lol every morning I’d wake up to see if they where over my iris or not. My vision got really crappy and my eyes where dry af just like you said. I even got a little infection on one of my eyes but I happened to have antibiotic drops from Mexico (parents are Mexican and we get most of our stuff from Tijuana) and I managed to resolve that at home thankfully. I haven’t worn any contacts at all in years and I miss them so much 🥺 , anyway your eyes are still huge so it’s all good! - side note , can anybody recommend contact lenses that are visually superior / more realistic to Solotica ? Lol don’t judge me
Taylor you never needed the circle lenses. You eyes are already big. I feel like there isn't that much of a difference. You have naturally beautiful eyes.

Nikki Mouse she looks better without them
Nikki Mouse for real! I thought she had contacts on in the vid before she said otherwise. (New here)
Nikki Mouse I agree, I envy her lol
True!! Her eyes were sooo large, it almost freaked me out (I'm new)
yea , she is already look like doll
From the sipderman movie "if you think you're nothing without the suit, you need to let it go" so true lol

If you’re nothing without this suit then you shouldn’t have it

honestly, i think you look much better without them. you would have such nice non-lolita style but then the lenses made you look like lolita-style and it looked strange. you look so pretty and natural without them
Is it bad that I didn't even notice you stopped wearing contacts, I think I just enjoy your videos and don't care how you look :)
+TaraTheLoneSloth ❤️
TaraTheLoneSloth yasss same because her content is so enjoyable you just forget all the problems that you went through its because of her nature and bubbly personality i like her😍
I think you look prettier without lenses!
TaraTheLoneSloth lol I didn't notice at all, I feel like it's one of those things, the person wearing them thinks they look so different, but others don't even notice!
The three most common dangers of overuse of lenses *particularly* circle lenses are 1. Corneal ulcers, 2. Eye infections, 3. blood vessel overgrowth in eye (corneal neovascularization which is non reversible). If you haven't had a contact lens check in a while, you should get one to check for this issue. Based on your verbal history, I'd be very surprised (but delighted) to hear you don't have overgrowth. It's important to have this monitored if you do have it, as it can become quite problematic and dangerous. I'm stopping myself going into more detail & boring everyone, but hopefully this (really brief and not inclusive) list will warn people of the importance of regular contact lens checks (not the same as regular eye appointments) when using contact lenses. This is why it is illegal to supply lenses online in a lot of countries, but they cannot stop you ordering them from abroad. Please get checked Taylor, it's best to know and safely monitor the condition. Xxx Rose
Milkymoles. yes and don't forget FDA approval is important!!
Actually, FDA approval doesnt mean much. As a company, you can buy your way into getting approval.
Milkymoles. never wear contact lenses without prescription.
Milkymoles. I had a corneal ulcer around November , it was horrible and I cried for hours straight , that was one of the most agonizing pains I've ever felt in my life.
maria ivanna you poor thing, that's horrendous. A lot of people just don't realise that contacts can cause this. Xx
You look way more beautiful without them💕💕💕
The Introverted MGTOW fam you are wrong (in my opinion) she looks very lovely without the contacts.
The Introverted MGTOW I think she looks better
I don't want to be rude, please don't take it that way but i don't see a difference!! You have beatiful green eyes! and they already look big. I don't know, maybe i don't see a difference because i have tiny sleepy eyes! hahaha
I noticed you got prettier without them bc you were being more yourself and that's what I love about you and the growth I've seen in you
Couldn't agree more!!! Being your own beautiful self is always better.
Omg you are actually hilarious Taylor I’ve really come to love you over the last several months even though I was watching you since you started your channel XD
NamiiCho namiiiii
Aweeee hey namiiii I love you!
Hello😄
Same
i love the change and personality growth taylor has shown these past few years, she seems much more comfortable with herself 💕💕
You look beautiful either way, but I'm glad you're going for this more natural look right now. Your eyes are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Omg I'm obsessed with them, bought so many in Japan 😭😭
The dry eye thing is real :/
I'll finish the boxes I have, but I'm not looking forward to buy them again! Thanks Taylor 😘😘
Taylor looked cute before (with the contacts & makeup), but I truly think she looks STUNNING & radiant with a more natural look & im living for it
You look so gorgeous with this makeup and this looks actually more like a normal person. Pretty Taylor ❤️
"I thought I was unique" said everyone conforming to a subculture ever
Youth!
I DIDN'T NOTICED never noticed that you stopped wearing them you really don't need them 😮
You are one of my favorite youtuber... & OMG... *I SEE NO DIFFERENCE...* I THOUGHT you were still at the same makeup routine... Gosh... You are naturally beautiful.
YOONGIIIII
Armyyy
YOONGI
Staaan
Aimi Yuri Sakura SUGA~~~~ ARMY~~~~~❤️
highkey her natural look is stunning. i also do a lot of anime inspired looks and i live in tokyo so its perfectly normal, but now i'm feeling inspired to embrace my natural face more haha.
I'm really glad that you're making this healthier change, I've been worried about the huge amount of time you seemed to spend in those lenses for a while.
Honestly you look so much better without lenses
This is a different kind of contact lens solution...
TheLozzie88 nice played with the words :)
ba dum tss
Nice pun
You should keep an eye on it
Eye see what you did there...
Who else did not even notice that she stop wearing contact lenses and the makeup style
Jasmine Carter
Me 😂🙈
Jasmine Carter there's not a huge difference XD
Haha yeah I totally didn't notice at all.
Jasmine Carter me
i think she slowly transitioned out of it so it wasnt as noticeable
You go girl. I'm glad you listened to your body. I've heard so many crazy horror stories about those lenses.
I have astigmatism too, so contacts feel horrid for me. I can't even imagine what you went though with astigmatism AND wearing lenses that weren't meant for it.
+Onlyonewish123 yea I forced myself every day to live up to this image 😝❤️
I have astigmatism and I don't really feel anything when I'm wearing them, maybe because I use them like once in a month or something like that
Taylor R テイラー hiiiiiii
Taylor R it is great that you are listening to your health and that you are changing up as well it shows real versatility in you. Keep doing what you are doing and you will be fine
Really? Luckyyyyyyy
You might have a milder version. My eye doc says mine's pretty bad. It makes putting the contacts on SO irritating (Like I always feel like there's a giant contact shaped eyelash in my eye lol) My sister has none and she can just pop them in once and be good lol :'''')
For this reason I have my own set of rules when it comes to wearing my lenses.
1, never wear when ill or having allergy flare ups cause dry eyes be a thing
2, if I'm feeling discomfort remove immediately
3, if I wear lenses for a long time (like for conventions), I give my eyes at least the next day to breathe.
4, maintain general lense care.
I've stuck to the rules no matter what and am still maintaning eye health!
Alexa Boyd good ideas! if I ever use lenses, I will definitely keep these in mind!
You look so much more beautiful and natural without lenses. That goes for other people too. :)
That's crazy hearing that you use to wear enlarging contacts for 20 hours?? If you decide to wear them again I highly recommend the 1 day enlarging ones as it has a higher water concentration and more hygienic as you throw them out after one use. Usually the longest I wear contacts is 8 hours but not everday.
ITS A DOG, I THOUGHT IT WAS A TEDDY BEAR OMFG
Aww, I love this. It's so important for you to be able to focus on the more important parts of yourself, without sacrificing other things. Personality, being comfortable in your body, and your mind are far more important than a specific makeup and eye enlarging style. I'm so glad you're able to do this and feel comfortable with it. You still look lovely, and most importantly, that's not what matters most about you anyway.
how ironic is it that you talk about eye health for the entire video only to break glass with no eye protection......I still love you though
+Ashley I did also mention I'm sometimes stupid 😅
6:21 :p
Lol you totally nailed the timing on that 😄
No ur not stupid u r amazing
Don't you mean "eyeronic"
When I saw your dog I was like "is that a real dog"
I think that we all have something that we use as a mask. I know it's taken me a very long time to feel comfortable in my own skin. I think that as you get older and wiser, you start to really value your life experiences and dear friends rather than superficial things. I know for me, having my daughter was a turning point because I look at her and only see beauty and when I talk badly about myself or put on a lot of make up, she is the first one to tell me how beautiful I am without it! Anyway, sorry for my novel. You are a beautiful, intelligent, and funny young woman and the things you say and do have much value!
leximus519 don't hate on those who wear makeup and sound so patronizing. Just because people wear makeup doesn't mean they have self esteem issues, are you serious? They wear it because they have high standards.
aoko sakano, I never meant to be patronizing at all. I love makeup and love experimenting with different looks. But just like everything else, it can go to an extreme as Taylor was saying. It was effecting her health and even career. I would NEVER look down on someone for using make up, because I use it everyday.
Hey, long time lurker here. As someone with anxiety who's always worried about what people think of me and my looks, I can totally relate with the mask thing and wanting to present what you think is the best version of yourself. I'm glad you feel more confident with yourself. You look gorgeous with and without, but like many people here, what I grew to love about your videos is not your big eyes but your bubbly and goofy personnality. Love your videos and wish you all the best!
Are you trying to tell me that those are your normal size eyes/iris? WOW.
SALOME GARCÉS HERNÁNDEZ right !!
i didnt even notice / your eyes still look really pretty/big
actually she looks alot better now lol
bankaispirits same thoughts
I thought so too
yeah! less superficial.
Doesn't really matter you know
I don't think anything she did before made her look superficial and I think it's kind of rude to say she looks better now.. She is beautiful either way.. though your comment may not have mean to come off as demeaning, it kind of is... =\
I’m so glad you are not defined by your makeup! You are so lovely Taylor’s both inside and out! So happy you are coming into your own as far as your style and who you are. You’re so relatable, funny, silly, just wonderful!
If you look at my profile picture here on youtube ( from like 3 years) you can see I had the same weird thing with contact lenses and eye makeup, it really becomes an addiction after some time and you feel like you are not yourself if you don't make yourself look like that. Once I stopped that I realized how much better I would look without that stuff and how much easier getting ready and my lifestyle in general was. It was a cute phase I guess but happily just a phase (still have the photo tho cause I'm too lazy to remove it 😂)
Really nice video Taylor and btw you look gorgeous naturally. Really like your new style !!
Your eyes are gorgeous the way they are! ♡ The natural look is more refreshing as well.
Taylor you're so mature. Seriously. You can talk about any subject and address it quite well. You're such a role model💕
she has really big eyes anyway, didn't even notice lol
Your natural eyes are already big and beautiful and the colour is so pretty 😍 I'm excited to see the new makeup looks you will try 😊
i also struggled with this wanting to wear contacts all the time. i only feel pretty with them bc my natural eyes look boring and dull. but like you said it became unhealthy to wear them too much and i actually had a minor eye infection and had to stop wearing them. thankfully, my vision is still good. now i really don’t feel pretty or confident at all without them and idk what to do. i
that decision!!! I did not notice your change before this video but now i love you more than any time Taylor. Just be yourself who is smart, funny and sincere, not a person who tries to be a weird "doll".
Your eyes are big af already! I didn't notice tbh you look cute either way aw!
mychemicalclifford Same I still thought she was wearing those circular lenses in this vid but her eyes are just that big anyways.
Your iris already looks so nice and large already you don’t need the lenses! You’re beautiful!
This was pretty informational. Thanks for telling the other side of "cute looking" lenses and makeup.
Taylor! Thanks for uploading this video! I had the same problem as well and used to be "addicted" to them. Now I don't wear them after my eyesight got worse. It's good that you addressed the audience about this!
You've never needed lenses, you're a natural beauty Taylor!
You know, you're really pretty with and without lens. And I prefer the real you than the fake dolly you. I watch you videos because you make me laugh. I love your imagination and crazyness ❤
With or without lenses, makeup or whatever u look like a doll anyway.. 😊
I’ve been using round contacts for about 15 years and never had any issues and this is daily use .. i just wash my hands and don’t exceed 8 hrs of use .. and wash the contacts once every two weeks and dispose of them after 3-4 months sometimes 5 months.. I’ve never had any issues but i know because they are big and cover the white part of the eye 👁️ it’s suffocating your eye 👁️ please don’t exceed 8 hrs or you can loose your vision.. or worse experience infections
She still has huge eyes cries I WANT big eyes ASWELL
i feel like a lot of people, especially on the internet, hate change and might not let you move on from your past, but your past is still who you are/were and i just want to say that i admire the way you have grown and matured and everyday are loving and accepting yourself even more! Even if you weren't completely 'natural' before, i've never thought you were fake, just simply growing up, learning things, making changes and being human, i think you're really inspirational in your own way
I always thought you looked adorable with the dolly look, but now you look like an actual human being. You've transformed from a cute object to a mature, beautiful woman. Congratulations on your evolution. I admire your bravery!
Progressive Pagan ♥️♥️
Object?..um
@@nelia9410 A doll is an object. She was trying to project something more cute and perfect than a human. Now she's herself, not afraid to be a whole person with real flaws and a personality. Get what I mean?
@@progressivepagan5575 youre overanalyzing this lol dolls look cute, the look they have it's cute,almost non of the girls who do that type of makeup try to be perfect, it just looks cute
I feel like you have no idea how bright and funny and spunky you are or how much you have to offer those people who follow you. We all learn these lessons as we go and to see your process of self realisation and growth is pretty special. Just be Taylor and people who truly care about you will still love you in every iteration. Taylor’s a really special person...trust yourself and don’t hurt yourself to be what you are not. If that makes sense! Thanks for sharing these things and little Rosie!
I think it's insane that you can just but contacts online. When I got prescription lenses, they fitted them to the shape and curvature of my eye. It must damage them to do that
if you find contact lenses that have the same curve as your eyeballs, i think it shouldn't damage them
Right. If you go to an optometrist, or just look at your prescription if you already wear contacts, they'll have a specific size and curvature on them. I've never bought color lenses before since I had trouble finding some for astigmatism, but the sites I checked allowed you to pick. Also, some brands may make contact lenses that are more porous, since there are prescription lenses that are like that.
Awesome video Taylor, love you! Keep up the amazing work!
Ahahaha i loved it when you smatched the contact lenses XD
As for what i've given up recently... it's been 1 year since i stopped wearing foundation and my skin is so much better now :)
I am happy that you saw how harmful you were treating your body (eyes) and chose to stop such harmful behaviour.
I only hope that other people see that doing physical damage to your body is not worth it.
Try to become the person you want to become without damaging your body.
You're def beautiful but I think your fans watch you because your hilarious. Anyone who describes something as cute "like bacteria" is def unique and funny!
Lol I completely agree. Her personality is bubbly, positive, and funny.
Ann R. Def? Or ded?
Ann R. Iiiii
Papaya def, it means definitely
A few years ago I used to wear them a lot as well... I still really like the big eye look but I don't need that to feel pretty anymore. I know I was kind of addicted to this living doll thing so I'm happy that I'm going for a more mature look nowadays.
I've always thought your eyes are so pretty. Really happy you're stopping now for the best of your health. I think you look really pretty looking more natural. ❤❤
I'm wondering how would Taylor look with her natural hair color 😮💕
PamKor AVv Proberly like a french supermodel
As an optometry student I'm really glad that you've made this video about contact lenses and your complications. Often people don't understand the risks involved with contact lens use, especially large lenses without consulting with an optometrist first.
This is actually my first time watching one of your videos and I have to say you are very beautiful, even with barely any makeup/accessories. You've also got a lovely personality and I really believe that your career will continue to grow. :)
You already have big eyes
I've already commented on a previous video you made about your eyes that you look so much better without lenses and I stick to it. Also I didn't even notice you weren't wearing them on the previous videos, your eyes are naturally big and beautiful so you go girl!!!! 💪😎❤️ Love you lots!!! 🤗😘
You look stunning without them! You look absolutely refreshed!
Early Squad where you at? Btw Taylor you are adorable no matter what ❤💓✌✨love ya 😊and this is a great video cuz you explained the trouble of wearing contact lenses and would help alot to all of us or people who are thinking to start wearing contact lenses ✨💓 thanks for this video
I loved that you had a doll face, street wear style and a funny and kind of savage personality. It was the sickest mixture ahah, but either way you still pretty gurllll 💖
TRXKPOP .. she had a different personality though ..
Eri Kason why can't people like you just accept a nice comment and move on instead of picking it apart. Do something with your life.
Aurora the only one "butthurt" is you. She said her opinion. I can say mine. Stop trying to censor you you little bitch
I know I loved that too! I support her 100% & I think everyone's style goes through many changes, it's her time but I'm actually just getting into this style haha
I think your natural eyes are perfect and beautiful.
Late squad were you at ?? 😂😄
No ?? I 'm alone cool
Christia M here!!!!!!!
Christia M I'm here now
they're just late you know...
Christia M lmaooo
You look amazing with and without contacts! In fact I think you're even prettier without them! And you'll eyes will thank you too!
I TOTALLY GET YOU! I did the same thing, but my addiction was green or blue contacts. I remember that a certain group of people thought my eyes where beautiful and real and I never corrected them. That was the beginning of me not wanting to take them off, and eventually I was wearing them 24/7 , literally SLEEPING with them on for days at a time. I had them on for about a month at one time and I actually lost them in the back of my eyeball constantly lol every morning I’d wake up to see if they where over my iris or not. My vision got really crappy and my eyes where dry af just like you said. I even got a little infection on one of my eyes but I happened to have antibiotic drops from Mexico (parents are Mexican and we get most of our stuff from Tijuana) and I managed to resolve that at home thankfully. I haven’t worn any contacts at all in years and I miss them so much 🥺 , anyway your eyes are still huge so it’s all good!
- side note , can anybody recommend contact lenses that are visually superior / more realistic to Solotica ? Lol don’t judge me
She looks so much more beautiful without those stupid lenses
