@@kurlykayla9013 There's a blog named MichellePhail on Tumblr and it highlighted the drama that Michelle was involved in. She was angry at a 16 year old girl saying the word retarded. Promise also vented about her in a tweet (I can't remember) but never mentioned Michelle's name. She has been called out by others before but it's been a long time already. She hasn't been in the spotlight lately.
Kia Jones Wow, I didn’t know about the incident regarding the cat. I am aware of the incident with her iQQU product not being FDA approve. Anyway, I don’t really care for Michelle Phan because I was never a fan of hers to begin with. She admitted that makeup is not her passion.
Especially with her past. The Internet is brutal nowadays. She has $50 million dollars anyways. She doesn't have to ever work super hard if she doesn't want to. I know she has her makeup line now that seems to be going well. I saw some of the comments here criticizing some past behavior but she admits in the video money and success brought out the worst in her so it's not like she lied about that. She admits she got too ambitious. So what is the issue here? Social media is so toxic now why would anyone wish that hell on her?
Maybe instead of begging Michelle to return, (I’d love it as much as anyone bc I miss her) maybe we should just try to follow in her footsteps and become a newer, drama free & uplifting RUclips community. She was everything we should aspire to be. 💞
Agreed. Michelle cannot save these people. They need to redeem themselves by realizing what they are doing is wrong and change course. Until they do that nothing will change.
I agree with you. If we are true fans, we should want what is best for Michelle. She gave us all so much. I want her to find happiness and peace; I know she wouldn't find it here in the toxic, nasty, hateful beauty community that we currently have. It's not her job to save people or to fix something she never broke.
The solution lies in our hands. If we stop supporting all these toxic people then they will either change either they will go away. But the problem is that most of us love toxic people and we make them to climb up the social and economical scale. They might be talented but most of them are empty or i can even say petty and cruel sometimes. Idk what else to say. All i know is that I'm sick and tired of the beauty community as it is now.
@@adcd31 We always have ahah her true fans have never left. I can say ive always been subscribed she was the FIRST makeup / channel in general i ever followed and back then she just started. She doesnt need our money for support although it probably helps she knows she has and has always had support from her true fans and the people that care most in life. ♡
i’m kind of glad michelle left this toxic beauty community behind. she’s the only ONE who doesn’t care about the fame, she only cared about herself. she’s the REAL mother of the beauty community.

I love you Nikkie! Michelle was the one who really got me into RUclips and how I learned about health and beauty and skincare and whatnot. I've been following her since the beginning and now follow you. lol. Love you both!!!
NikkieTutorials you and michelle are my life, not just for showing me how to look gorgeous, is for really feel the beauty in myself love you so damn much 😙😚😘😍
I’m not annoyed that she left. All of this stress and anxiety that she talks about would have only gotten worse. Nowadays everyone posts the same content because it sells. She put her mental health first, good for her x
I don't care what anyone says. Michelle Phan is iconic, will always be a legend, and is an OG RUclips Beauty Guru. She basically invented or predicted the mainstream success of things like Clarisonic: "Hey guys buy a sonic oscillating toothbrush and use it on your face to exfoliate." She also used to pull from her art background and give awesome DIY cheap hacks and tips like using Dawn antibacterial dish soap to clean makeup brushes and beauty blenders - instead of buying expensive cleansers - something that my female relatives still do, up to this very day.
"Foundation. Powder. Highlight. Setting Spray. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Drama Channels attacked. Only Michelle, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Drama Channels are nearing victory in the War. Some people believe that Michelle Phan will never upload again onto RUclips, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, Michelle will return to save the beauty community."
Now she is a millionaire and doesn’t need to make anymore RUclips videos. She sells make up of the brand she bought off of L’Oréal . After she sold Ipsy for millions.
Who’s here during the James and Tati drama? Wanted to remind myself of the old beauty of RUclips Edit: thank you so much for all the likes! Glad to know I’m not the only one out there feeling the same xo
Heard of you... never watched your videos... somehow this one gravitated toward me... law of attraction maybe... i salut you in your efforts and thank you for being a reflection of my own awakening process.... blessings! Namaste
Nini...I am so surprised seeing you here, strange to see you can be followers and UTbers as well. 🙃😜 Hope you OK, I did not watch you for while, but last autumn u were a big lifesaver for me. 🤓☺️ I really liked yr videos specially when u take off yr social face. 🌈⛰🌳🕸🦉✨
She is the 1st makeup guru I watched on youtube and will always be my favourite. I hope she find what she's looking for. I hope she will stay happy and healthy.
I can't even watch them! why watch a video who's purpose is to try and make you feel more beautiful (teach you a new make trick, tutorial etc...) when they make you feel so ugly watching it with so much negativity!
Seeing you go through all this right before my eyes, I can tell you you've definitely blossomed in a beautiful Butterfly like the one we saw on our hike. Let see where life takes you .. Hopefully to a land with lot of yummy Pork buns and Bunnies !!!!
dope2111 God bless Michelle Phan on your new journey. Life is too short for you to be tied down and be a label and a Guinea pig. You are not a product you are a child of God that WILL accomplish and succeed in everything your heart desires. Lessons learned and we are proud of you having the guts to be truly and fully happy once again. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your hearts desires. Psalms 37:4 much love from Iliana Pedraza 💞🤗😘
She is definitely an OG for the RUclips beauty community. And she is also a tale, precautionary or not, on how to stay humble and how to overcome that evil of ego, fame and money. She at least has the humility to admit she was getting weak and from there grow stronger.
OG? Like that something good! Why do youngsters use negatives as positives instead of actually learning the language? Your choice of terms is "the shit"!
She was the first “beauty gurus” I watched. My bf actually lives in her hometown when she was first getting big. He said everyone would go to the boiling crab because she was a waitress there! Small world!!
funny how when a depressed person says that they're depressed someone thinks that because she has money her depression is invalid. Depression can be found everywhere.
Hollow be thy name well because she had money she was able to do all those self finding things and take off into a new adventure. Good for her I say but I'm sure it wasn't all bad I'm glad she found her self throughout it all.
SO TRUE. Money CAN'T buy your way out of depression and success DOESN'T heal depression. Depression doesn't care how rich, popular, beautiful or successful you are..... Those that don't endure depression will never fully understand. Sure, they may post a blurb acknowledging it on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts..... but they wont understand that it can take you to the lowest of lows and make you feel completely alone even in a room full of people. That you can't just 'think happy thoughts' or have a girls day and shop until you drop and *poof* it's gone. It doesn't go away and it doesn't care who you are.
Yeah poor people think that... and because they are poor they have more right to be depressed than successful people...little minded people stay the same for ever...poor in every way so let's let them be the idiots they are so they can be more depressed at their lack of money, dreams, ambition and all the thing they will never know about... well not because they are poor of money, but poor of mind
Literally rewatched this video after Tati's video and the collapse of the beauty community making me appreciating that back in the day we had Michelle who REALLY uploaded makeup videos without any drama,scandals or TEA whatsoever... These beauty gurus nowadays should really learn from Michelle and take a break from the internet to really figure out their miserable lives and solve all their problems privately like an ADULT !! It's so ridiculous that Michelle was the only person who did the right thing leaving the community and grew from within mentally and came back stronger and more mature.
this isn’t just a video about beauty and youtube and money. it’s a video for all of the people who are going through something tough. whether it’s depression, anxiety, stress, etc. everyone needs their own time to grow and learn. learning to love yourself isn’t taking a bath or having a “me day”. it’s a slow change. growth comes slowly. give yourself the time to slowly grow.
I still remember that day...when I came home from an average day of school to see this video. I watched it. Today, January 5th, 2019. I'm watching this once again. Even though you're gone now, you will always be my inspiration.
To be honest, I really miss the old beauty community. No shade, no drama. It's all about beauty arts behind the makeup with makeup tutorial. No doubt that Michelle Phan is the real mvp of beauty gurus. We all were still young, living with big hopes and big dreams back then, sit in front of pc watching her Barbie Makeup Tutorial Video, which inspired us to do makeup as a kid. And I swear I miss all of that. Incredibly nostalgic. It's like the world knew that the community is about to be a huge mess and save Michelle from it, and im glad that she left youtube. You can tell how much she enjoy her peaceful life right now, living as a normal human without chasing the fame. And i'm happy for that. I'm happy that the world could save Michelle from toxic drama. Michelle, we will never forget who you are. We still love you and still support you no matter what. Stay who you are. ❤️
That Barbie tutorial was one of my favorite videos growing. That and the Parisian makeup video were standout videos I rewatched growing up. I miss all of that so much, but I'm glad we can still watch the videos and appreciate Michelle's years of hard work. I'm glad she left too, it would be sad to see the toxicity of this platform ruin someone who is truly a beautiful soul.
When she says "money can't buy happiness" she's not saying it from the perspective of a rich kid. She's saying it from the perspective of someone who grew up poor, soneone who has been a broke college student with bills to pay and a family to support. She's one of the first big RUclipsrs. An Asian-american child, she was the daughter of two immigrants. Her family was very poor, so she worked extremely hard in school in order to get into a good college and support her family by making a lot of money. But in the end she realized med school was not for her and she applied to art school instead. I believe due to her grades, she even managed to secure a scholarship for art school as well. Her mother was devastated that Michelle would not go to med school but in the end accepted it. The students in Michelle's art school were all presented with laptops, which also had access to internet. She used the webcam to film a beauty tutorial and flash forward to the present: through consistent hard work Michelle has made enough money to support her family. Anyone who says she has no idea what she's saying, that she couldn't possibly know the true value of money is, I hope after reading this you've gained a new perspective.
Honestly I wouldn't want Shane to do that I love Shane Dawson a lot and I also love her but I think she's ok I don't think she'd like it if she comes back the beauty community is so fucked up right now I don't want her to get hurt or go back the toxicness (idk if that makes sense I'm sorry)
And I also don’t think she would do it, she never liked being famous and didn’t like the fame. So I’m sure she’d lay low but it’s okay I still love her
Zayn Malik I want her to come back the current beauty community is shit 😭😭😭 (and yes I know she hinted on the video she'll no longer make beauty videos)
RUclips Is not for real people like you anymore to much clickbate, copypaste, drama, ego stuff, etc just for money. Thanks for Let us believe about dreams come true with your example.
I think every HUGE beauty guru needs to sit down in a well-organized conference with and without youtube and fix EVERYTHING. Literally. RUclips is messed up. Casey Neistat has said so, Shonduras has, Roman Atwood has, Tanner Fox has, and a bunch of others like Shane Dawson and Grav3yardgirl. Things need to change. I like that money made the content because back when youtube first came out right before Google took over about 5 or so years before, it sucked. I didnt like it at all. I hated how everything linked to a video and they were crappy. Right before Google took over like 1-3 years before is when youtube was awesome. I loved it and still do for the creators that dont let the money make them. But honestly the money and drive to get the views to make the money is what made people become better creators. Its true. I just love how a bunch of creators have said this on RUclips in videos and a few in emails and its just ignored for big buisness that supplies the ads that pay the creators and youtube. Google is money hungry and I wish the owner of RUclips hadnt sold out to them. You can tell because they changed the play buttons twice since the first ones they made. I hate the new ones. Its an ugly recessed button shape in a plaque. Its not a button anymore. So lame. The only one to stay the same is the diamond one cause not a lot of people have it.
"Sharing my everyday makeup routine....not groundbreaking" what!?!? GIRL you created the beauty community of youtube. I remember only you and juicystar
Why is everyone so bitter about her success lol. She's a person of ethnic minority and came from very a low economic status. She had many odds against her- it's not like she had everything handed to her on a silver platter. If anything, it should be inspiring?
2019 January 1st... We're waiting for your return to the social media. We Miss you... We miss the positive energy you used to fill in our hearts... We miss the sweetest smile of our Big Sister who helps us to get ready as A Princess in our memorable occasions. We miss our dearest friend who gives us courage and inspiration when we feel everything wrong. We don't know how many years it's gonna take to see You again but we hope You are doing well and living happy with prosperous lifestyle. And we'll keep on waiting to see our Sister... With lots and loads of affection. Wishes from India...
Don't you understand? She's out for a new happiness. True happiness. She is NOT coming back. And I respect her for that. Her choice was very wise. I may not know anything about her and her social media, but I know she is out there living a happier life. Don't pull her back.
@@madisonj8828 no. She might come back. Its not that she hates making videos or sharing content, she loved it but she lost herself in the midst of it. This was her happiness, her dream. I don't think she's ready to stop. She's still creating, through her brand. Through her social media, she has said that she will return once she recharges, referencing this anime (?) character that recharges before he returns again, stronger. In the description of this video, she also says she'll come back once she feels inspired to share again. Yes, she is happy now. But it doesn't mean she won't come back, no one can guarantee that she will, but she might. If you don't follow her or know her I guess you really don't know then. She's still uploading videos on her brand's channel.
Here here after watching Marlenas dear influencers video... now i understand why Michelle Phan left ... so sad to see these pioneers of the beauty community leaving the platform... these are people who paved the way for the current influencers...
I miss the old RUclips, where when you searched anything. You saw a person who turned on their potato camera and talk about something they’re actually PASSIONATE about. Not some fortnite RUclips hungry for money:(
To be fair... the majority of what I still see on RUclips are people who are passionate about what they are doing (and that includes the Fortnite RUclipsrs, because, you know, some of them are just enjoying the game?)
agrees..we the 90s kids get to grow up watching it..kids now only get to watch paul brothers and other viners' migrants that do pranks and stupid sketches showing boobs n booty to get views..cheap content
I noticed when people become famous others will tend to dehumanize them and criticize them as if they were products. Like I feel bad how our culture tends to be so desensitized to celebrities pain and struggles.Just because they have an abundance of success does not mean their pain is any less real than ours.
Кэти x why do people have the audacity to lower other people's hardships and pain just because they might have "better" lives then you do? I'm arguing that people should be more empathetic towards anyone regardless of social or money status.
A poor woman has been robbed, she might go homeless. A celebrity has been robbed, oh well, he/she can just buy back the stuff they lost. Also because only rich people can relate to rich people.
"Back then, I was showing you how to look more beautiful. Now, I want to show you how to feel more beautiful." -Michelle Phan this is my most favorite quote like ever, I grew up with you watching your videos. Im in love with art and want to be a illustrator doing concept art for video games, shows, movies and/ or books. You taught the most important things on chasing your dreams. You're my role model and I am very thankful I watched such an amazing role model for kids when I was younger. Thank you
I think the biggest reason we love your videos is because you remind us of those innocent days where RUclips wasn't a career, but a field of people expressing their passions and joy. You can't find passion or joy on here anymore. Just people basing their worth on the validation of strangers. Best of luck in finding your joy again❤️
Kristen Embry lmao so many ppl act like making money off of RUclips videos is a taboo or a sin. Like it's not wrong to make money. And the fact that young people are able to make money doing what they personally aspire to do as a lifelong job is quite amazing and something that should be admired.
Kristen Embry I totally get what you're saying. Beautiful comment worth thinking over actually. It's not that having a career out of RUclips is bad, but everything comes with a price and one slightly influential person's actions /lifestyle or a trend these days influences many others. It isn't just RUclips, society increasingly has been lacking soul. On the one hand you can say we have people who are very aware and open minded and accepting (compared to previous generations) , but there's also a lot of emphasis on glamour and marketability. Competition, the survival of the most aggressive and active lot, brings a strange obsession for perfection. A world where everything is for sale, is ultimately stifling as a whole, whether it brings profit for individuals or not is a different question altogether.
u made me feel very old girl..i watched her when i was 25...guess how old i am now lol...n yet still hangout on youtube..dont i have kids and career to look after?? what am i doing here?? ok bye
Samantha Fierro You know what I meant. No need to make something complicated when it's easy to understand. I feel for the guy/girl that dates you.....making mountains out of mole hills. Geez.
I cried, you always get me so emotional Michelle. I've been watching you for the past 7 years and this made as emotional as your Sailor Moon video. So glad to see you're building yourself up again. Life isn't a flat line, and it may seem hard to keep moving, but it only makes us better human beings. Love you. And good luck for you too!
Lesson: don’t let your ego over take your true self, don’t let the judgement and expectation of others take priority of what makes you truly happy. Hope you’re well Michelle - watched you ten years ago when I was a young girl, now I watch you as a young woman and you’re still inspiring bravery and the truth. 💗
There are many chances that you will not read this, that it will not matter, but this video made me cry. I remember the first video I saw of you in 2012, I remember what I used your videos in some moments. You always gave me a wonderful person, you were the first famous person I admired. I still remember when you mentioned me on a pillow talk how much everything has changed. I am very happy that you are finding your way, I am very happy that you are looking for happiness. You will always mean something to me. Thank you. Good luck.
Absolutely beautiful the way you perfectly painted the road to success and the hardships that come with it; for anything. Also, for anyone that had conflicting feelings on the ending having ads, know this is something she's working on for herself without anyone really telling her to. As she said, she is still striving to continue creating and discover more without anyone dictating her. Now she can use the money she's earned from her previous success and the lessons she's learned to build another chapter of her life. Thank you Michelle, I hope you found peace during your time away. Good luck.
Probably one of the most genuine RUclipsrs today. I find it so moving that you were able to be so honest with us and share how you really feel. You will always receive hate, that's part of being a part of this world, as you know. Some people just don't want to be empathetic and that's okay. Your talent, ambition, kindness and honesty will take you to beautiful places. Here's to you finding your true happiness. And whenever and if ever you return - we will be here, like we were 10 years ago.
She really paved the way for the beauty community. Legend. This girl I know loves all these toxic ass beauty gurus and when i talked about Michelle Phan she was like who? Makes me sad people missed out on such an inspiration
I don't know Michelle Phan, nor have I seen any of her videos, but this video definitely resonates with me. I hope she finds her bliss as she begins her spiritual journey. Sending her much love and light.
My first ever beauty guru. Most importantly, the one who taught me that it's cool to be kind, passionate and curious. Thank you, Michelle. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
I'll never forget your drugstore videos. You were my introduction into the beauty world. I remember you started using more and more expensive products and I watched up until you partnered up with Lancome. I think that's where you lost a lot of your following. Love you though. You changed my life and introduced me to beauty. I knew nothing about makeup before I watched your videos. Thank you for everything.
Some people might not find it brave or inspirational which is ok. Probably only those who have been going through the same ups and downs who would feel the same.
I'm crying whilst watching this.. I've been a fan of yours since 2007 when I was only 11 years old. I will always support you no matter what and completely understand your reasons for taking a break. Love you Michelle, and always will! xxx
Appellation Sobriquet me too!! I couldn't help but tear up! She's had such a positive impact on me and I couldn't believe that she was struggling so much. I'm so happy that she found peace 💕
This would be an amazing manga. Girl power. Growing up. Finding who you are. All those people who hurt you and tried to take control. Perfect villain. I still Michelle. But this is what's vest for you. And I hope you are happy now.
yes i watched the whole video but does that mean she left even her old relationships and how did it affect her. if she doesn't want to share I'll be here no matter what.
I swear this woman is magical her voice and ways of telling things are just beautiful. I hope 2017 is the year Michelle Pham comes back healed and better than ever
Shadeen Sajid why... like yes she was one of the best beauty gurus but she did absolutely nothing this year if anything it should be the ones who actually upload to influence the community in a good way
@@MalikkMeza because she did a lot of the work offline . And she did influence in regards to makeup. Relaunching a whole makeup line again and doing so much other stuff . She didn't upload this year but she did to a lot of stuff offline. And there's a reason she is nominated so I think she deserves a vote . But yeah everyone has different opinions
sometimes i miss the old youtube .. when it was just a platform to upload whatever before money got involved

She also used to pull from her art background and give awesome DIY cheap hacks and tips like using Dawn antibacterial dish soap to clean makeup brushes and beauty blenders - instead of buying expensive cleansers - something that my female relatives still do, up to this very day.
"Foundation. Powder. Highlight. Setting Spray. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Drama Channels attacked. Only Michelle, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed her most, she vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Drama Channels are nearing victory in the War. Some people believe that Michelle Phan will never upload again onto RUclips, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, Michelle will return to save the beauty community."
damn you give me hope
Lmao
thats funny
Am I the only one who read this in the tone of Avatar's narrator 🤣
Why am I crying
“You can’t buy happiness, but you can create it”

The beauty community really needed this right now
Yes
Amara Reyal the beauty community could be the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard lol
Now she is a millionaire and doesn’t need to make anymore RUclips videos. She sells make up of the brand she bought off of L’Oréal . After she sold Ipsy for millions.
now and forever :)
Amara Reyal FrugalFinds...we love you. You are still real!
Who’s here during the James and Tati drama?
Wanted to remind myself of the old beauty of RUclips
Edit: thank you so much for all the likes! Glad to know I’m not the only one out there feeling the same xo

Zay Pierre me and you both
Nini...I am so surprised seeing you here, strange to see you can be followers and UTbers as well. 🙃😜
Hope you OK, I did not watch you for while, but last autumn u were a big lifesaver for me. 🤓☺️
I really liked yr videos specially when u take off yr social face. 🌈⛰🌳🕸🦉✨
You and Michelle have always been one of my favorite RUclipsrs to watch. I am so glad to see your comment in this video.
*she started the whole beauty community and she was also the first one to realize how toxic it was after years of being in it*
I miss Michelle. She was one of the first youtuber that I saw 10 years ago when I was only 10 years old. Crazy
Money buys security. Happiness is... up to you.
It’s hard to be happy without security don’t you think
@@milo1685 This is true. But if we are agreeing here then are we also saying that money is important as well?
Money can help you achieve happiness but it isn't happiness.
@@lavenderscent2334 agreed.
She is the 1st makeup guru I watched on youtube and will always be my favourite. I hope she find what she's looking for. I hope she will stay happy and healthy.
Same ❤️ I’d spend hours watching her videos
Same
Same im gonna cry
I came here after her recent video with Harpers Bazaar 😭😭
M M me too
Me to 😔😊
Same I miss The OG Beauty Queen
Me too
Me too 😭
Since Michell left, I just feel sad...we have seen to many drama with "new" influencers and its just make me sick. Michelle was so genuine !
Kim Sang same I can’t deal with the toxicity
I can't even watch them! why watch a video who's purpose is to try and make you feel more beautiful (teach you a new make trick, tutorial etc...) when they make you feel so ugly watching it with so much negativity!
who's here after Michelle's hello video??
meeeee
Seeing you go through all this right before my eyes, I can tell you you've definitely blossomed in a beautiful Butterfly like the one we saw on our hike. Let see where life takes you .. Hopefully to a land with lot of yummy Pork buns and Bunnies !!!!

You are not a product you are a child of God that WILL accomplish and succeed in everything your heart desires.

She was the pride of our nation
Why are you saying she WAS? She should still be. Just because she is not longer on youtube, doesn't mean her achievements are erased .
Em buồn lắm chị Pu ơi
I think it’s a Hamilton reference
What nation are you from?
Chị Pu😀😍
2019 Feb anyone? I'm going to wait for years for our sweet queen to return, who's with me?
Hi 2019
Meeeee
Hi how you doin?
@@myaedelman fine
I think you missed the entire point of the video LOL
You didn’t care about. “Beef”. Or “tea”
You didn’t start a “Scandal”
You put the word “Beauty”. In the beauty community
She is definitely an OG for the RUclips beauty community. And she is also a tale, precautionary or not, on how to stay humble and how to overcome that evil of ego, fame and money.
She at least has the humility to admit she was getting weak and from there grow stronger.
Hama Jordan she IS the OG
OG? Like that something good! Why do youngsters use negatives as positives instead of actually learning the language? Your choice of terms is "the shit"!
She was the first “beauty gurus” I watched. My bf actually lives in her hometown when she was first getting big. He said everyone would go to the boiling crab because she was a waitress there! Small world!!
That's so cool!
Her plan on a leaving RUclips was good because the beauty community is to toxic or harmful even for the youth
“Every night my parents would fight... and it was always about money” THAT HIT HARD
was anyone a kid when her barbie makeup tutorial was uploaded? i was and i miss her ):
dhwani chan omg me!! I remember watching her barbie tutorial
was the first video i ever watched by her 😭
Me
1000 subs with no content oml gud ol days before i grew outta makeup:(
Yeah
I miss her so much..she was the one teaching me how to do my make up since 6 th grade. Now I go to university
Catrinel Toncu same
funny how when a depressed person says that they're depressed someone thinks that because she has money her depression is invalid. Depression can be found everywhere.
preach.
Hollow be thy name well because she had money she was able to do all those self finding things and take off into a new adventure. Good for her I say but I'm sure it wasn't all bad I'm glad she found her self throughout it all.
SO TRUE. Money CAN'T buy your way out of depression and success DOESN'T heal depression. Depression doesn't care how rich, popular, beautiful or successful you are..... Those that don't endure depression will never fully understand. Sure, they may post a blurb acknowledging it on their Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts..... but they wont understand that it can take you to the lowest of lows and make you feel completely alone even in a room full of people. That you can't just 'think happy thoughts' or have a girls day and shop until you drop and *poof* it's gone. It doesn't go away and it doesn't care who you are.
Yeah money can't buy happiness but it sure as hell relieves a few pressure points.
Yeah poor people think that... and because they are poor they have more right to be depressed than successful people...little minded people stay the same for ever...poor in every way so let's let them be the idiots they are so they can be more depressed at their lack of money, dreams, ambition and all the thing they will never know about... well not because they are poor of money, but poor of mind
Literally rewatched this video after Tati's video and the collapse of the beauty community making me appreciating that back in the day we had Michelle who REALLY uploaded makeup videos without any drama,scandals or TEA whatsoever... These beauty gurus nowadays should really learn from Michelle and take a break from the internet to really figure out their miserable lives and solve all their problems privately like an ADULT !! It's so ridiculous that Michelle was the only person who did the right thing leaving the community and grew from within mentally and came back stronger and more mature.
this isn’t just a video about beauty and youtube and money. it’s a video for all of the people who are going through something tough. whether it’s depression, anxiety, stress, etc. everyone needs their own time to grow and learn. learning to love yourself isn’t taking a bath or having a “me day”. it’s a slow change. growth comes slowly. give yourself the time to slowly grow.
Wow...very well said😊
Her voice is so soothing
RUclips Official I definitely agree from the start
Soo truee
hi hope you can check out my vlogs 💛
I still remember that day...when I came home from an average day of school to see this video. I watched it.
Today, January 5th, 2019. I'm watching this once again.
Even though you're gone now, you will always be my inspiration.
Imagine BTS do the same 💔😭
@@1derl4nd I know It hurts
I almost cried watching this...this video is so inspiring. I miss Michelle and how genuine she is.
Bridget Qiao Zhang I had tears too.... 😌
@@izzygee2216 hdhhxghi
To be honest, I really miss the old beauty community. No shade, no drama. It's all about beauty arts behind the makeup with makeup tutorial. No doubt that Michelle Phan is the real mvp of beauty gurus. We all were still young, living with big hopes and big dreams back then, sit in front of pc watching her Barbie Makeup Tutorial Video, which inspired us to do makeup as a kid. And I swear I miss all of that. Incredibly nostalgic.
It's like the world knew that the community is about to be a huge mess and save Michelle from it, and im glad that she left youtube. You can tell how much she enjoy her peaceful life right now, living as a normal human without chasing the fame. And i'm happy for that. I'm happy that the world could save Michelle from toxic drama.
Michelle, we will never forget who you are. We still love you and still support you no matter what. Stay who you are. ❤️
That Barbie tutorial was one of my favorite videos growing. That and the Parisian makeup video were standout videos I rewatched growing up. I miss all of that so much, but I'm glad we can still watch the videos and appreciate Michelle's years of hard work. I'm glad she left too, it would be sad to see the toxicity of this platform ruin someone who is truly a beautiful soul.
When she says "money can't buy happiness" she's not saying it from the perspective of a rich kid. She's saying it from the perspective of someone who grew up poor, soneone who has been a broke college student with bills to pay and a family to support. She's one of the first big RUclipsrs. An Asian-american child, she was the daughter of two immigrants.
Her family was very poor, so she worked extremely hard in school in order to get into a good college and support her family by making a lot of money. But in the end she realized med school was not for her and she applied to art school instead. I believe due to her grades, she even managed to secure a scholarship for art school as well. Her mother was devastated that Michelle would not go to med school but in the end accepted it. The students in Michelle's art school were all presented with laptops, which also had access to internet. She used the webcam to film a beauty tutorial and flash forward to the present: through consistent hard work Michelle has made enough money to support her family.
Anyone who says she has no idea what she's saying, that she couldn't possibly know the true value of money is, I hope after reading this you've gained a new perspective.
Wow, very accurate! Thank you :)
Money doesn't buy happiness... but it does buy a ticket to Switzerland
Alix Merkitty - well said. That's my perspective too. Love and Light to Michelle always.
I guess you can't and that's why you're talking shit?
Great recap. Bless
Shane needs to make a series with her , there is so much i need to know about her and her life .. so much
Honestly I wouldn't want Shane to do that I love Shane Dawson a lot and I also love her but I think she's ok I don't think she'd like it if she comes back the beauty community is so fucked up right now I don't want her to get hurt or go back the toxicness (idk if that makes sense I'm sorry)
And I also don’t think she would do it, she never liked being famous and didn’t like the fame. So I’m sure she’d lay low but it’s okay I still love her
Minh Nguyen agreed
Yes!
I think it would be great but not sure if she'll be willing which would be understandable
Who is watching this in august 2019?
And hoping for a new video even after two years of silence?
You got your wish she just posted a new video
And it happened!
this aged well.
sophia ahmed and now she did :)))
Idgaf what anyone else has to say but Michelle Phan forever sits on the Beauty Guru throne, she paved the way for most of these beauty gurus!
Zayn Malik so true. Before all that instagram makeup nonsense
Zayn Malik I want her to come back the current beauty community is shit 😭😭😭 (and yes I know she hinted on the video she'll no longer make beauty videos)
OMG I LOVEE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE
Yassssssss....... amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Absolutely! She's the OG. Anyone who can't see that she literally paved the way is blind.
RUclips Is not for real people like you anymore to much clickbate, copypaste, drama, ego stuff, etc just for money. Thanks for Let us believe about dreams come true with your example.
You're right about that! RUclips will never match it's glory days when money wasn't involved...
@@MaroonStorm I actually looking forward to the day the either cut their pay so we can weed out the phonies.
*Michelle needs to come back and get these Beauty gurus together ASAP! Whole community been a mess since she left, return to your kingdom Queen!!!!!*
LDR XO Factssss🙌🏼😤
@@K4TSWRLD yee hawww
yesss
nikkie, jeffree and charles + tati are the only gurus that are not mess
I think every HUGE beauty guru needs to sit down in a well-organized conference with and without youtube and fix EVERYTHING. Literally. RUclips is messed up. Casey Neistat has said so, Shonduras has, Roman Atwood has, Tanner Fox has, and a bunch of others like Shane Dawson and Grav3yardgirl. Things need to change. I like that money made the content because back when youtube first came out right before Google took over about 5 or so years before, it sucked. I didnt like it at all. I hated how everything linked to a video and they were crappy. Right before Google took over like 1-3 years before is when youtube was awesome. I loved it and still do for the creators that dont let the money make them. But honestly the money and drive to get the views to make the money is what made people become better creators. Its true.
I just love how a bunch of creators have said this on RUclips in videos and a few in emails and its just ignored for big buisness that supplies the ads that pay the creators and youtube. Google is money hungry and I wish the owner of RUclips hadnt sold out to them. You can tell because they changed the play buttons twice since the first ones they made. I hate the new ones. Its an ugly recessed button shape in a plaque. Its not a button anymore. So lame. The only one to stay the same is the diamond one cause not a lot of people have it.
"Sharing my everyday makeup routine....not groundbreaking" what!?!? GIRL you created the beauty community of youtube. I remember only you and juicystar
both of them are the OG beauty gurus
and don't forget Bubzbeauty
she wasn't the first nor the second
No but she is the one that made the beauty community so popular before it became absolute bs@@minorkey5286
The best story teller alive. Made me tear up. 😘😭😻

omg I wasn't expecting you to watch Michelle phan
Elisa Sanchez
If I'm not wrong, they are very close friends
Why is everyone so bitter about her success lol. She's a person of ethnic minority and came from very a low economic status. She had many odds against her- it's not like she had everything handed to her on a silver platter. If anything, it should be inspiring?
Rebecca, I agree with you, 100%.
Because other ppl started off with the same problems and they didn't become successful like her.
some white girls ( not everyone ) are racist, they dislike successful Asian woman
Rebecca true! couldnt have said it any better!;)
At this moment in time, I'm taking a dumb.
2019 January 1st... We're waiting for your return to the social media. We Miss you... We miss the positive energy you used to fill in our hearts... We miss the sweetest smile of our Big Sister who helps us to get ready as A Princess in our memorable occasions. We miss our dearest friend who gives us courage and inspiration when we feel everything wrong. We don't know how many years it's gonna take to see You again but we hope You are doing well and living happy with prosperous lifestyle. And we'll keep on waiting to see our Sister... With lots and loads of affection. Wishes from India...
Don't you understand? She's out for a new happiness. True happiness. She is NOT coming back. And I respect her for that. Her choice was very wise. I may not know anything about her and her social media, but I know she is out there living a happier life. Don't pull her back.
@@madisonj8828 no. She might come back. Its not that she hates making videos or sharing content, she loved it but she lost herself in the midst of it. This was her happiness, her dream. I don't think she's ready to stop. She's still creating, through her brand. Through her social media, she has said that she will return once she recharges, referencing this anime (?) character that recharges before he returns again, stronger. In the description of this video, she also says she'll come back once she feels inspired to share again. Yes, she is happy now. But it doesn't mean she won't come back, no one can guarantee that she will, but she might. If you don't follow her or know her I guess you really don't know then. She's still uploading videos on her brand's channel.
Well she has disappeared for a year.
So i took a pretty good guess
@@madisonj8828 what happen to her..
I dnt understood
Here here after watching Marlenas dear influencers video... now i understand why Michelle Phan left ... so sad to see these pioneers of the beauty community leaving the platform... these are people who paved the way for the current influencers...
She's not completely gone though, I just watched her Jaclyn Hill lipstick review with Promise 😆
Nafha Rasooldeen what was marlenas video about
I miss your voice it's so authentic and relaxing.
Sky Cornfield I swear it is then the animations are so soulful and beautiful 😩
Sky Cornfield She's not really authentic...I've heard bad things so I can't really look at Michelle the same way.
lamingtongirl123 what did she do?
Sky Cornfield Never judge a book by its cover, just saying. Not that I am saying she was bad.
Sky Cornfield ikr
I miss the old RUclips, where when you searched anything. You saw a person who turned on their potato camera and talk about something they’re actually PASSIONATE about.
Not some fortnite RUclips hungry for money:(
Don’t get me wrong. Money is awesome, but youtube is being consumed by it
Just like Michelle:(
To be fair... the majority of what I still see on RUclips are people who are passionate about what they are doing (and that includes the Fortnite RUclipsrs, because, you know, some of them are just enjoying the game?)
agrees..we the 90s kids get to grow up watching it..kids now only get to watch paul brothers and other viners' migrants that do pranks and stupid sketches showing boobs n booty to get views..cheap content
sephiroth When were you born
I noticed when people become famous others will tend to dehumanize them and criticize them as if they were products. Like I feel bad how our culture tends to be so desensitized to celebrities pain and struggles.Just because they have an abundance of success does not mean their pain is any less real than ours.
truuuuue
Кэти x why do people have the audacity to lower other people's hardships and pain just because they might have "better" lives then you do? I'm arguing that people should be more empathetic towards anyone regardless of social or money status.
A poor woman has been robbed, she might go homeless.
A celebrity has been robbed, oh well, he/she can just buy back the stuff they lost.
Also because only rich people can relate to rich people.
Well said ! 👍🏼
yess
And this is why celebrities turn to drugs and get depressed. Don't be so hard on them
"next video *why i left again* lol" Seriously? She didn't said "im back" This is her last video. Stop bullying her...
Efe Burak you don't know that
Jvrlucena unfortunately, she did reply to a comment on Instagram saying that her RUclips journey has ended.
crose Novela ahhhhhh, I'm so sad now
Efe Burak Say* Not said, say.

Her voice is really soothing.
i could hear her talk for hours and i would never be tired of her voice
she have the most beautiful voice in all the influencers
JAY ruinmi long story short: youtube was toxic for her
Here after her recent video of kylie skin review collab with promise...we miss u queen😢

So sad 😭
Please stop now is not the time to play with my emotions
Well now I'm depressed
"Back then, I was showing you how to look more beautiful. Now, I want to show you how to feel more beautiful."
-Michelle Phan
this is my most favorite quote like ever, I grew up with you watching your videos. Im in love with art and want to be a illustrator doing concept art for video games, shows, movies and/ or books. You taught the most important things on chasing your dreams. You're my role model and I am very thankful I watched such an amazing role model for kids when I was younger.
Thank you
I think the biggest reason we love your videos is because you remind us of those innocent days where RUclips wasn't a career, but a field of people expressing their passions and joy. You can't find passion or joy on here anymore. Just people basing their worth on the validation of strangers. Best of luck in finding your joy again❤️
Kristen Embry lmao so many ppl act like making money off of RUclips videos is a taboo or a sin. Like it's not wrong to make money. And the fact that young people are able to make money doing what they personally aspire to do as a lifelong job is quite amazing and something that should be admired.
Kristen Embry I totally get what you're saying. Beautiful comment worth thinking over actually. It's not that having a career out of RUclips is bad, but everything comes with a price and one slightly influential person's actions /lifestyle or a trend these days influences many others. It isn't just RUclips, society increasingly has been lacking soul. On the one hand you can say we have people who are very aware and open minded and accepting (compared to previous generations) , but there's also a lot of emphasis on glamour and marketability. Competition, the survival of the most aggressive and active lot, brings a strange obsession for perfection. A world where everything is for sale, is ultimately stifling as a whole, whether it brings profit for individuals or not is a different question altogether.
the way she's talking makes me think of Avatar the Last Airbender and the way Katara intros the show
yes!
Sydney Vinson like when Korra became a real mess... 😢

I complete and utterly miss Michelle's videos. I started watching her when I was 10 and I'm 19 now. Time really flies.
Faith Simon me too
u made me feel very old girl..i watched her when i was 25...guess how old i am now lol...n yet still hangout on youtube..dont i have kids and career to look after?? what am i doing here?? ok bye
Faith Simon
I felt this 💗💗💗...
Our generation lives in and threw social media
Me too exactly
I watched her when I was 11 and I’m 16 now :(
You are the reason why started my RUclips channel. You might be the reason why I’m going to leave 😌
I hope you are happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ok
ok
I've been following Michelle since 2009. she's one of the original OGs of the makeup tutorials. I have nothing but respect for her.
E Step me too

She's one of the original original gangsters of make up tutorials? That doesn't even make sense...

sorry for trying to help you out with an error
We miss you 😢😞😩
Riyadh alismail All of Us do.
its ok
Where has Michelle gone? It’s been ages..
editz4you she is gone from youtube she won't come back maybe someday I hope she does
How about me? Come look at my channel. I need supporters too 💕
I cried, you always get me so emotional Michelle. I've been watching you for the past 7 years and this made as emotional as your Sailor Moon video. So glad to see you're building yourself up again. Life isn't a flat line, and it may seem hard to keep moving, but it only makes us better human beings. Love you. And good luck for you too!
Lesson: don’t let your ego over take your true self, don’t let the judgement and expectation of others take priority of what makes you truly happy. Hope you’re well Michelle - watched you ten years ago when I was a young girl, now I watch you as a young woman and you’re still inspiring bravery and the truth. 💗
This is so me and it all still isn't dissapeared yet, I think this counts for most ppl too much enemines
There are many chances that you will not read this, that it will not matter, but this video made me cry. I remember the first video I saw of you in 2012, I remember what I used your videos in some moments. You always gave me a wonderful person, you were the first famous person I admired. I still remember when you mentioned me on a pillow talk how much everything has changed. I am very happy that you are finding your way, I am very happy that you are looking for happiness. You will always mean something to me. Thank you. Good luck.
Absolutely beautiful the way you perfectly painted the road to success and the hardships that come with it; for anything. Also, for anyone that had conflicting feelings on the ending having ads, know this is something she's working on for herself without anyone really telling her to. As she said, she is still striving to continue creating and discover more without anyone dictating her. Now she can use the money she's earned from her previous success and the lessons she's learned to build another chapter of her life. Thank you Michelle, I hope you found peace during your time away. Good luck.
hi aki!
akidearest 😲😲 OMG AKIII!! Hi!
Oshit aki, sup?
what a koinkydence
akidearest ah hi Aki! Didn't see ya here :33 love ya!
Probably one of the most genuine RUclipsrs today. I find it so moving that you were able to be so honest with us and share how you really feel. You will always receive hate, that's part of being a part of this world, as you know. Some people just don't want to be empathetic and that's okay. Your talent, ambition, kindness and honesty will take you to beautiful places. Here's to you finding your true happiness. And whenever and if ever you return - we will be here, like we were 10 years ago.
Yxzmine Aww you are so sweet ❤ That's hard to find nowdays. (If she saw your comment) it probably meant alot to her ❤
Wow you amazingly expressed how we feel.
She's The Best!
she uploaded again guys... she’s back to save us
i hope she's feeling well ❤
She really paved the way for the beauty community. Legend. This girl I know loves all these toxic ass beauty gurus and when i talked about Michelle Phan she was like who? Makes me sad people missed out on such an inspiration
I don't know Michelle Phan, nor have I seen any of her videos, but this video definitely resonates with me. I hope she finds her bliss as she begins her spiritual journey. Sending her much love and light.
same
Larz me too 💜
Exactly
I just saw this when I when to see my brothers account on RUclips then I saw this so I tapped on it and I love this story but it’s very sad
My first ever beauty guru. Most importantly, the one who taught me that it's cool to be kind, passionate and curious. Thank you, Michelle. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
I'll never forget your drugstore videos. You were my introduction into the beauty world. I remember you started using more and more expensive products and I watched up until you partnered up with Lancome. I think that's where you lost a lot of your following. Love you though. You changed my life and introduced me to beauty. I knew nothing about makeup before I watched your videos. Thank you for everything.
She is such an inspiration.
you have to put 'Edit: thanks for likes' now :3
She deserves so much respect. Pouring her heart out like this takes such bravery! Blessings to you, Michelle Phan!!
yes. hard decision.
Exactly how is this brave or inspirational?
Some people might not find it brave or inspirational which is ok. Probably only those who have been going through the same ups and downs who would feel the same.
This was very deep. I'm so sorry for you. You are not alone! We will always be here for you! We will support you! You are wonderful!💜✨👍🏻
Rose Li I so agree 😓😰😥😢😧😪
Rose Li is the night to work with me today at work for me to cry 😭 night i was the best year of the day to be friends with my friends who have fun
You can do nothing. Only herself can.

It’ll be EPIC when she makes a return
The entire beauty community will be QUAKING!!!
She is still there at Promise Phan's channel

Michelle doesn’t even wear makeup anymore /.\
I miss her, but her happiness is so much more important. I can't imagine how her mental health would suffer in the current beauty climate :(
I'm crying whilst watching this.. I've been a fan of yours since 2007 when I was only 11 years old. I will always support you no matter what and completely understand your reasons for taking a break. Love you Michelle, and always will! xxx
Appellation Sobriquet her true fans will always support her
Appellation Sobriquet me too!! I couldn't help but tear up! She's had such a positive impact on me and I couldn't believe that she was struggling so much. I'm so happy that she found peace 💕
Sneaky Snek stop making me cry
She said she’ll return when she’s inspired to share new ideas. It’s been almost two years. I guess it will be a long time for her to be inspired. :(
She'll return when she runs out of money.
@@Nitaka12 Yeah, because there isn't other ways of income. Only RUclips right?
@@Nitaka12 RUclips wasn't a source of income back in the day. She probably sees how disgusting the beauty community is and doesn't want to come back.

This would be an amazing manga. Girl power. Growing up. Finding who you are. All those people who hurt you and tried to take control. Perfect villain. I still Michelle. But this is what's vest for you. And I hope you are happy now.
Please share more of what you did to buy time Michelle. I'd like to see more of your realness and experiences. Share the hard, easy, and anything but.
Karina Rose she left everything behind her and didnt look back, 8 minute mark
yes i watched the whole video but does that mean she left even her old relationships and how did it affect her. if she doesn't want to share I'll be here no matter what.
I swear this woman is magical her voice and ways of telling things are just beautiful. I hope 2017 is the year Michelle Pham comes back healed and better than ever
SHE IS NOMINATED FOR BEAUTY INFLUENCER 2018 , PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS. GO VOTE FOR HER , I JUST DID.
Shadeen Sajid why... like yes she was one of the best beauty gurus but she did absolutely nothing this year if anything it should be the ones who actually upload to influence the community in a good way
@@MalikkMeza because she did a lot of the work offline . And she did influence in regards to makeup. Relaunching a whole makeup line again and doing so much other stuff . She didn't upload this year but she did to a lot of stuff offline. And there's a reason she is nominated so I think she deserves a vote . But yeah everyone has different opinions
i miss when there's no TEA , canceled culture .. beauty community so toxic and full of drama.. we really miss you :(
