Hi Kandee, this is the first time ever I watch you and I must say I'm pretty sure you're an elf or a fairy, or some magical creature, is that so? :) Love from Argentine
oh I'm so glad! I wanted everyone to see what might help them film their videos better too, all the lights and everything is hard to figure out sometimes! xxoo
I love how Kandee's tutorials are not only professional, but she always adds some creative, fun twist! And how she's wearing leapord pajamas or comfy pants.
i like the lighting in your videos but i still find it a bit too bright and white. maybe its just my computer. but love the video!!! you're so gorgeous :) x
Yes she just needs to turn down the ISO a few notches and it'll be perfect. If anyone is having that problem with their playback that really helps. It makes it look more true to life xoxox
This Is still one of my favorite videos of yours. Just the lighting, the decorations,your hair and make up. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and my life. Thank you
I think she uses the built one. The mic usually sounds like a over voice on top of the video that they record separately but I think its just the built in one :)
Even when your videos are of things I might "not care" about, I watch them anyway because I know that YOU are gonna be happy and positive and that I'm surely to laugh and smile. God bless you and your adorable family for all that you do. You ARE that shiny sparkle I see that makes me want to be nicer and kinder...and sparklier! Been a subscriber for years. Super proud of you!
Thank you so much kandee! I've been a professional MUA for years now and I'm thinking of starting a RUclips channel. I've been watching you for years and love your great attitude and big energy. You're def one if my favorites and this video helped a lot in terms of being prepared. I appreciate what you do and look forward to watching you for years to come. Thank you!
Wow, didn't know it takes soooo many lights to do a video! Love your windows and the natural light! You are gorgeous Kandee, inside and out! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for us! Your hair is looking amazing, absolutely love the color! God Bless you and your family! Sarah
"You'll be blinded by the light...almost" haha, I just love your personality. You've always been so fun to watch & you never changed a bit since I first started watching you, which is a GOOD thing!
This was SUCH A HELPFUL VIDEO! Granted I will NEVER be as awesome as you've shown but it is CLEAR you are NOT afraid to learn and DO this! I am so GRATEFUL for you and your BEAUTIFUL ability to share! THANK YOU A GAJILLION times over for making tutorials you are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE and ultimate GO TO LADY for all thing BEAUTIFUL! Love you KANDEE JO!!!!! XOXOX
Kandee I've been watching you from the start :) I still remember your diy anchor necklace video, and the one about the fauxhawk hairstyle! It's amazing to see how far you've come, from garage sale camera Kandee, to busy mum, make up artist, and beauty guru. You are simply fantastic and I hope you're so proud of yourself. I applaud you Ms. Johnson! Xxx love always
I had never heard of you before today, just been going over and over in my head if i should start youtubing, been wrestling w/ the idea for a year..long story short..i stumbled through to your website and read your encouraging words about pushing through it all to find your own happiness and i almost cried...thank you kandee johnson for being you and helping to change my life.....muah (tiffany johnson)
I am *DYING!* I steal my little sister's huge Black Labrador stuffed-animal to get my camera (affectionately named "Loki," since he does whatever he wants) to focus. So good to know I'm not the only crazy person out there! ;D Thanks for sharing your setup with us. As a slowly growing RUclipsr who is looooking to play around with some makeup tutorials in the future, I really enjoyed getting to see how it is that you prep for videos. Also... I *love* your style! So many pastels!! ♥ Thanks again, XOXO- Mermaid Phantom
Finaly a youtuber that helps others who want to make videos!!!! I was wondering how to get the perfect lighting and everything!! Thanks a lot Kandee!!! Huge hugs!!!
This video seriously made me cry.....I have been watching you on youtube since the very very beginning and have wanted to do videos for about a year now and just have not had the nerve or really any idea how to start. I am a photographer and this is the exact camera I am shooting with right now so I feel comfortable with it. Thank you so very much for this video Kandee, you have inspired me to go ahead and give this a shot...why not! You are truly an inspiration and positive influence in so many ways and to so many people! XOXOXO Jen
Thank you for linking us to the lights! I'm sure lots of others like myself are looking to start making quality videos and have no clue what lights to use! It's good to be able to see the result of a product instead of just having to read reviews on websites and have no idea where to start!
It's so sweet of you to show your setup for other would-be you tubers. That was also a great trick with the cleaner! Also, what's the cute box hiding the baby wipes? Love!
I love your camera! I have had my eyes on that camera for a few years now. I hope I get it for Christmas. You have makeup galore! It's like every women's dream (the ones who really love makeup) to have a makeup table of some sort with drawers filled with makeup like that. Awesome. Love your earrings too by the way ;)
Those lights look crazy, I'm surprised you use so many! so helpful, thank you! and the editing was so perfect, it switched from one camera angle to another without skipping a beat :)
Oh my gosh I love you Kandee!! You're so gorgeous and AMAZING at makeup! Your costume makeup tutorials are my faveorite :) You're my favorite RUclipsr!!!!
This was so helpful! Been looking for a video like this for two years almost and you're the first and last one I'll be looking at! Was so helpful, thanks for inspiring Kandee :)
Kandee your videos are so seamless! I uploaded my first youtube video yesterday and filming was WAY harder than I thought it would be. Please tell me it gets easier talking into the camera! You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your lighting setup!
You brought so much fun to my life and inspiration to smile every day, Kandee :) I just simply love you and I'm so proud to be your subscriber! Thank you.
Oh yes I read it but I understand that itakes a lot of time! Your blog about how blakey's heart has a crack in it cuz he misses you so much... Oh my goodness melts my heart into a puddle of love!!
you made me so happy today. Your style is absolutely gorgeous and infectious {good infectious}. Even though make up tutes aren't what I jump on RUclips for, I will definitely be popping buy just to get some Kandee joy xx
I just started my RUclips channel yesterday and I am so scared of not being successful, I don't know much about editing or how to setup for videos. I really want to get into doing makeup videos but not sure if I'm good enough to do so, you're truly amazing and I hope to grow as u have one day!
Ariah Style Thanks u soooooo much for that, I kept pushing it off and finally did it, now I wish I would've done it when i first had the thought. I really appreciate ur sweet words, God bless u! 😊
I would LOVE to see a makeup tour and get more info on what products and shadows you reach for most. I can only find one you did a couple of years back on your favorite MAC shadows (before this awesome set!) and would love to see a video of yours before my next MAC haul!! XOXO
You are just the most positive bundle of energy I've ever seen. *NEW SUBSCRIBER* & so happy to be here!!!!
thank you and welcome hugs!!!!
Jennifer Mansky lol u are great
Kandee Johnson lol kisa u I got a ğìřłfřįëñd ok leavtir
yes! I had no idea anyone would want to see a video on how I edit! But now since so many people have asked, I think I need to do one! huge hugs
The lights look very close to natural light! Loved the video and your bubbly personality, def gonna subscribe! :)
Yay! Welcome to the family!!!! Big Mama Kandee hugs!
Your voice & the way you speak reallllyyy reminds me of Lolly from Orange Is the New Black lol
omg yes she does and Ellen
When you opened your makeup drawers, oh gosh it's like a kid in a sweet shop! Amazing!
Hi Kandee, this is the first time ever I watch you and I must say I'm pretty sure you're an elf or a fairy, or some magical creature, is that so? :)
Love from Argentine
oh I'm so glad! I wanted everyone to see what might help them film their videos better too, all the lights and everything is hard to figure out sometimes! xxoo
awesome!! QUESTION: were did you buy the amazing drawers/container thing that holds all your makeup? The clear thing. I love it!!
I love how Kandee's tutorials are not only professional, but she always adds some creative, fun twist! And how she's wearing leapord pajamas or comfy pants.
i like the lighting in your videos but i still find it a bit too bright and white. maybe its just my computer. but love the video!!! you're so gorgeous :) x
Yes I find it a bit too bright but what a great video!
what kind of computer do u have
Brittany Byars i have a macbook pro and find it too white
Yes she just needs to turn down the ISO a few notches and it'll be perfect. If anyone is having that problem with their playback that really helps. It makes it look more true to life xoxox
oh Kandee, you are such an inspiration! I just love your personality!
Can u please do a video on how u edit your videos please :)
This Is still one of my favorite videos of yours. Just the lighting, the decorations,your hair and make up. You’ve been such an inspiration to me and my life. Thank you
Do you use a mic or do you use just the built in one from the camera?
I think she uses the built one. The mic usually sounds like a over voice on top of the video that they record separately but I think its just the built in one :)
Even when your videos are of things I might "not care" about, I watch them anyway because I know that YOU are gonna be happy and positive and that I'm surely to laugh and smile. God bless you and your adorable family for all that you do. You ARE that shiny sparkle I see that makes me want to be nicer and kinder...and sparklier! Been a subscriber for years. Super proud of you!
Hi KANDEE! What kind of tripod do you use??? I LOVE THAT ITS PINK
your awesome Kandeeland .. i remember when u only had 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS and now u have over 1MILLION!!! your the best! keep it up!
Better way to get in focus is focus the camera on the tripod from where you'll be sitting. Works for me everytime :^)
that's a really good idea lol!
I love you so much!!!! huge hugs beautiful! Keep on shining the love in your heart to the world around you!
I so want to start a makeup RUclips channel but I'm kind of nervous to start it! 😁😁😁
+alice salinas me too!!!!!
so do I 😊
do it! I just started its a bit stressful at first but im getting the hang of it!
Omg same I need like a close up for my eyes of my eyeshadow
Do it girl!
Thank you so much kandee! I've been a professional MUA for years now and I'm thinking of starting a RUclips channel. I've been watching you for years and love your great attitude and big energy. You're def one if my favorites and this video helped a lot in terms of being prepared. I appreciate what you do and look forward to watching you for years to come. Thank you!
Oh my, what do your light bills look like?! Lol
ha ha ha I only leave them on while I film! ha ha ha
yes! IT was so hard for me to find good lights when I started! I hope it helps everyone!
Can you do a video on how you edit your videos
Your intelligence, capability and efficiency shines through the cute stuff so no wonder you are so successful.
I wanna start a makeup channel but I feel like people will hate on me since I'm young and don't have much experience☹️

Wow, Kandee... I always wondered how you set things up! So cute seeing you use the teddy bear to focus! xoxo
AWESOME SETUP! I love that you use a bear to sit in for you to focus! Thank you for sharing!
You are very joyful to see, and humble to show what all goes into making videos. Go girl!

Love your energy!! I find it hard to watch a lot of peoples videos all the way through but your personality makes it easy!
Thank you for linking us to the lights! I'm sure lots of others like myself are looking to start making quality videos and have no clue what lights to use! It's good to be able to see the result of a product instead of just having to read reviews on websites and have no idea where to start!
I know the feeling! I've used everything from christmas lights to lamps without shades to finally these real lights! ha ha ha
You just radiate positive energy. Love that! And thanks for the info! :)
You're just the cutest thing ever Kandee!!!! Such a great role model!
So helpful!
I LOVE that you use the bear to focus, haha such a clever idea! :)
So much effort to make videos. We appreciate it, Kandee!
I'm so impressed that you edited this in iMovie. Well done!
It's so sweet of you to show your setup for other would-be you tubers. That was also a great trick with the cleaner! Also, what's the cute box hiding the baby wipes? Love!
I just fell in love with all of your makeup and storage!!!
yes, the lighting is the trickiest part!
Omgawd you've come a long way! Look at you! Wooooow I remember your first few videos... keep doing your thing, beautiful!
You're so cute!! Thanks for showing us your lights. I was curious what lights I needed to purchase to make everything so bright and pretty:)
I love your camera! I have had my eyes on that camera for a few years now. I hope I get it for Christmas. You have makeup galore! It's like every women's dream (the ones who really love makeup) to have a makeup table of some sort with drawers filled with makeup like that. Awesome. Love your earrings too by the way ;)
I aspire to be half as cute as kandee some day. Also she might be the MOST positive beauty guru I've ever seen on RUclips. She's freaking adorable!
i like the extra brightness it makes everything look a little more professional
yes it's the Ikea drawer thing! IT's just not so good when it gets dirty inside! But I love how wide the drawers are!
Those lights look crazy, I'm surprised you use so many! so helpful, thank you! and the editing was so perfect, it switched from one camera angle to another without skipping a beat :)
