I had to stop watching for just a second when you mentioned about a “friend” who said wouldn’t you like to be naturally beautiful. I can see that it still resonates with you. She was either jealous or just meant that we all need a little makeup to look a bit better. I think you are very beautiful and I know you weren’t “fishing” for compliments when you told that story. The lord truly shines in you and that beauty is evident both inside and out.
I had to stop the video there too and rewind to make sure I heard her right. Kristen, I am so sorry that you've carried that little thorn with you, I am sure your husband has tried endlessly to pluck it out for you....but it never really goes away. It's because of our fallen culture. I have always felt that exact way as you did growing up, I always longed to someday get that natural beauty just heavenly bestowed upon me. I was a late bloomer in so many ways and felt I had finally "made it" to the cool and pretty avenue by my early 20's. I've actually never felt more accepted for the way I look than once I had children.....it would make me cry with comfort that my newborn baby wasn't grossed out by my adult acne or my bad breath or my greasy hair. She just accepted me exactly as I was in every state and I like to think that's how Jesus loves us/sees us. I wish I could give you a hug 🫂! I'll be praying with you for continual grace and acceptance of ourselves, even as we age. 😊 ❤
Please don't listen to that. As you get older, you start to gain confidence because you know who you are. You grow older, get wrinkles, maybe gain a bit of weight but you are confident in who you are. You are beautiful ❤
Kristen, I can’t believe anyone wouldn’t think you are a natural beauty. Even more, I can’t believe anyone would make a comment like that. Trust me, you definitely have natural beauty. It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t because of your wonderful personality. I love your channel and always enjoy your videos.
IN DISBELIEF! I’ve thought you to be a naturally pretty, inside and out from the moment I found your channel. You are genuine and honest, you know who you are and you own it. You stay true to yourself. You find the goodness in the little things. That is beauty. You are so relatable and I adore your transparency. Wheww. I felt your words in my heart and soul. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, genuinely thank you for letting us ladies know we’re not alone! We appreciate you for who you are but always pray that you feel good about yourself 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤍🤍
That story about you not being naturally beautiful broke my heart. How could anyone be so cruel to tell someone that but especially to you. You are absolutely beautiful without makeup and with makeup. I thought you were so pretty when I first started watching you but after watching your videos your beauty really grows and grows with each video that I watch. It is the light and sincerity that shines within you. Thank you for sharing this video. ❤
This video makes me love you even more. When i first saw your thrifting videos i thought, wow so stunning but then after watching many videos you’re even more beautiful. Your heart shows through and your kindness shows in your face. Naturally pretty is a huge understatement
Gurlll you are a stunner, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The joy of the Lord, love for your family, and a vibrant light just radiate out of you. Keep shining 💛.
I am a new subscriber so I have been trying to catch up on your videos. I have looked at some of the other comments, and I think we all feel the same about your natural beauty- stunning! It is not your makeup or skin care routine or anything else that shows your beauty. It is your love of God and family, and your fun, sweet personality! I enjoy your videos because of the Joy that you share. "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Prv 31💜🦋
I’m simple. Clinique moisture surge for all moisturizing. Philosophy products, and Cera Ve cleanser. Clinique, and Laura Gellar cosmetics. I’m not much in primers, highlighters, etc. etc. lol. Just the basics. You’re such a beautiful person, on the outside and inside. The fact you have both is a blessing. So many are attractive on the outside, but their insides take all the attractiveness away. Your spirit shows through. ❤
You are beautiful with and without makeup! I can't believe someone asked YOU if you wish you were naturally pretty! WHAT! You're extremely naturally beautiful.
"What others think of me is none of my business" I live by this. There's no pleasing everyone, so don't let them affect you. This gets easier over time. I don't wear make-up or do any face treatment, never have. I wear liquid liner and every now and then red lipstick at church on Sunday or a special occasion, otherwise none at all. Your inner beauty highlights your external natural beauty🙏💙
Omg Kriten, I think we cal ALL relate to this! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story. You are so beautiful inside and out! ❤️❤️❤️
I think people get use to seeing us with makeup and if they see us without their first reaction is to ask if we are sick or if something is wrong , my dad has asked me that lol. You are beautiful without makeup and makeup just highlights your beauty. I was never good with makeup but certain RUclips influencers have really helped me. If you find one that is around your age and skin type sometimes you can find good products and tips. I love your sweet nature and love for God. ❤
Kristen, your ARE naturally beautiful, both inside and out. Don’t let anyone tell you different. God’s light shines through you and no one can dim that!
You are beautiful inside and out. It took me 40yr to realize this. With time you will learn to ❤ yourself. Beauty of getting older is that you stop caring what other people think!
I’m a fair blonde as well. Recently discovered tinted moisturizer vs tanning lotion. It is far better as you have no mess! Also any lotion will remove make up. Just make sure it says non comedogenic so doesn’t clog pores. That was advice from my dermatologist!!
You ARE a natural beauty! So pretty even without makeup. Your smile and beauty from within is what attracted me to your channel. The makeup you just put on only enhances the beauty that is already there. And it’s definitely not just skin deep. I could tell you were a believer before I knew for sure. I pray those hurtful words would never make you sad again. They simply are NOT true. ❤
I grew up with 4 sisters. We were all considered very pretty by outsiders. My mom was s teen in the late 1930's. Hollywood beauty was a big deal. She always commented on how we looked and felt it was sooo important. Every one of us do not go out without makeup. I feel pretty with makeup and plain without it. I can relate totally to your story. I think you are so pretty with or without makeup. ♥️
I think, and i know I'm not alone, that you are truly a beautiful person inside & out. You are the light that i wish more people had for this cruel world that we live in. You are a great wife & mom to those girls and Josh. They are truly blessed that God gave you to them. Never doubt your beauty! ❤
You're a beauty with or without make-up. I'm sorry that someone, family at that, would say something so hurtful. Stay true to you, a beautiful woman inside and out! ❤
Kristen, I love what you stand for…loving Jesus, following His will for your life, family first, etc. You are a breath of fresh air and it is so nice to have someone I can sit down and watch with my entire family. Is there some way I can message you privately or vice versa? I make my own all-natural cleanser and moisturizer and I would love to make some for you to try if you’re interested. Just let me know! Keep the videos coming, girl. You’re a light in a dark world and I appreciate you! ♥️
Hey there! I left a message with a link to an Etsy shop where we could converse. Did you get it?? I don’t see it here now so I’m thinking it might not have posted. 🤔
Kristen, I just love you! I have the same insecurities. Everything you said has been me all my life. I was never able to enjoy going to the beach or lake because I didn't want anyone to see me. Wish I had been more like you at your age. I've had hurtful things said to me too. I've been waiting for this video. Thank you. You're beautiful.
Just watched this and can I tell you that you are sooo naturally pretty!! Thank you for sharing your routine, so honest and refreshing to watch. Sending you much love from England. Subscribed❤
You are beautiful INSIDE and OUT! I have not tried retinol or dermaplaning for the same reasons you mentioned. Irritation and growing a beard! But because you are a christian woman , which tells me your honest,I’m going to try them both! Love the lipstick trick! I use eyeshadow on my eyebrows too! I thought I was the only one! Your make up looks so beautiful and natural!! I love your style and your home style as well! I enjoy watching all the great buys you find! Stay strong!🙏
I live a simple life. I'm a natural blonde. At 51, I've tried it all. Mom to an 18 y/o daughter. 'Some' people make the strangest remarks. In no way, do they define your beauty. We are each unque, and are perfectly imperfect I use a Makeup Remover cloth that can be re-used (and takes everything off). If I need a deeper cleanser, I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser (the 3 oz version goes a long way). I skip all of the active skincare/devices/gadgets/supplements and use lots of sunscreen daily. I use a BB cream very sparingly or a water-based foundation. I do dermaplane. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging cream out there!. Best beauty item?. Your smile!.
You are absolutely gorgeous without and with make-up! Pretty please can we have a hair tutorial? I particularly love how put a curl/wave in your hair. Would love to know how to do that.
I’ll definitely have to try your lipstick technique! I’d be interested to see a video about your favorite/go to jewelry and where you like to buy it :)
I love that you posted this video. You're beautiful inside and out and it's sad that a family member would say such a horrible thing to you. That was UGLY‼️ It's better to let your inner beauty shine/love of God shine.....better to be salt and light. Keep being you ❣️
You are just so beautiful inside and out. People are so dumb with their remarks. I have funny elbows it’s been my whole life that people have made fun of me and you know what I wear. Short sleeves or sleeveless, I don’t care and like me for me or you’re missing out because I try to be a nice person ,and to be kind to everyone and that’s what life is about not looks. Thank you so much for sharing, and being honest. May God continue to shine down upon you and your family
If you want to find someone to help you find some great makeup try Morgan Turner make up she does some wonderful tutorials. I think you are a beautiful young lady. You have such a beautiful glow from inside out.
Kristen…wow, we all have those “comments” from people that just hang with us and have such an impact. I’m so happy to see that the majority of the comments are telling you…you are beautiful inside and out. I so agree! I’m praying that we can all remove those “negative comments” from our thoughts. Blessings to you❤
If you’re looking for some inexpensive natural beauty remedies just go to your kitchen! I use egg whites for a mask all the time and it works so well for firming, organic pastured is the best. Also you can use coconut oil, olive oil and honey to cleanse and hydrate. I also love to use homemade kefir as a probiotic face mask. Oatmeal makes a gentle exfoliant
I watched dr oz on you tube talking about apple cider vinegar .I decided to try it as I had a patch of dark pigmentation on my face caused by the sun I dilated it in water and it took months but it worked and only cost me a few dollars 🤩
Oh girl you are naturally beautiful!!!! I understand how you feel, I'm a redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows...and people have said the said the same to me. One girl in school during my junior high years told me should would kill herself if she had been born a redhead. As I got older I realized that was her insecurities trying to make herself feel better. Please know that you are beautiful inside and out and I watch you because you add to my days. I love your family and all you stand for...keep up the great choices in your life. All my support and admiration 🌹
I'm also a redhead with blond lashes and brows (and hereditary dark circles). The one mean girl who teased me for my hair color as a child now dyes her blond hair red as a 50+ year old. Ha!
@@rachelhele7827 I have black hair and have been getting grays since I was about 20 years old. At 40, I dye my roots every 3 weeks, and I'm down to needing to dye them every two. 😭
You are so pretty, with and without makeup. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I wear less, less makeup on the weekends so when people see me without or with less makeup they have become accustomed to it. I loved this video and generally all of your videos.
Rewatching I was in tears listening to you in the bathroom I'm sorry you feel that way - you are BEAUTIFUL! It's wrong how negative comments linger in the background ❤
This is the best makeup/beauty tutorial I’ve ever seen! So down to earth and REAL. 🤍🤍 Also, you are stunning with and without your makeup. 100% natural beauty.
You are so beautiful! We as mother’s NEED to learn to love ourselves first of course after we love God! That way we know how to love our family ❤. You are so awesome!
You are a natural beauty. Thank you so much for being so transparent. You are such a wonderful mother and you will be a true blessing to your girls as they grow and navigate these emotions, too. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, in His image. You are chosen and set a part. I think you radiate with God's love and truth!
Oh Kristen, don’t let someone’s words destroy you. You are so beautiful with and without makeup but most important, you are so spiritually beautiful. You rock beauty even without makeup. Your family and your home are beautiful as well. You are blessed!!
I'm still crying from someone actually saying you are not naturally beautiful. OMG they might be your relative but they really don't know you. Kristen, you are sooooo beautiful not just outside but inside. This might sound morbid but I'm almost 70 so thinking more about what I have done with my life and what kind of legend I am leaving to my kids and grandkids after I die. Kristen, just know that you have 7,700 viewers that appreciate you for her you are and not what you look like. You're already a legend. Love you girl....
You are so sweet. Who ever told you about the natural beauty thing is crazy!! Natural beauty comes from within..has nothing to do with your face. If you are a beautiful person on the inside, it naturally shows..you, my dear, are full of beauty. Rise up and shine! Remember who’s daughter you are! ❤️😉😘
You are GORGEOUS not only on the outside but on the inside as well and don’t let anyone, including yourself, make you feel otherwise. Your love for God, for your husband and your children is immense. You have loved, forgiven and helped those around you become a better version of themselves because you have shown love by example. Please give yourself grace and know you are loved. ❤❤❤❤
You are beautiful inside out! Don't let people get to you. I know the feeling all so well. When you said that, that was said to you you made me cry. You see I come from a family of 6. 4 boys and just my sister and I. My sister is beautiful and all of my uncles on my dad's use to tell me that I was the ugly duckling. This stuck with me my whole life and I hated myself for being "ugly" I had to learn that I am not perfect and thats ok. Long story short about 11 years ago the same uncles that use to call me an ugly duckling told me that I had become a beautiful swan that I had grown into my looks. I told him i was always beautiful and that he should keep his comments to himself and walked away.
Be your beautiful self. Beauty comes from inside, and I hear that in your voice and see it in your videos. The first video I saw of you, I thought you reminded me of my friend who is naturally pretty and so kind. ❤
You are naturally beautiful!! So pretty with or without makeup! Some people say things without thinking. So hurtful! Your sparkling personality and positive outlook on life make you irresistible! I love watching all your videos. Don’t believe the naysayers! And I think your girls are sooo adorable and they sure love their mommy! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing post! You are so naturally beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being so genuine and real to so many real women that watch you. It is so refreshing!
O my dear, please dont let people tell you any different than your beautiful.... God made you just the way you are. And trust me the person saying that to you was jealous of your beauty inside and out. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kristen- you are beautiful without makeup! This may not help you now, but trust me on this one- I’m in my 60s and I feel beautiful and really don’t give a damn what other people think. True beauty comes from confidence and being a kind and loving person.
I have similar coloring to you and I'm often asked if I am sick if I don't have makeup or tanner on. I was even told once, without makeup you can't see my face. Thankfully I have outgrown those insecurities with age, for the most part. I want to say thank you for sharing this because it is an awesome reminder of how important it is that we show ourselves and love ourselves the way the Lord loves us....with make up or without! You are incredibly beautiful both ways. I appreciate you sharing your bare skin because it looks more similar to mine without makeup. I think the Lord prompted you to make this video to remind all of us that we are beautiful without makeup as well! This is just one more reason that we all love you and find comfort in learning from you! Thanks for being a blessing to us all! Keep doing what you're doing, please!
Hi Kristen! I've been watching you for couple months now, love your videos! And you are truly natural beauty! ❤ your kids are proving it! Lovely and beautiful family 🤍🙏 God bless you guys!
Kristin, you are very pretty without makeup. You are naturally pretty! For makeup remover, I suggest the washable bamboo pads with micellar water. Whatever you use, don’t pull at your lashes. Hold the wipe over your lashes to loosen the mascara up, then wipe away. I got the bamboo pads on Amazon and the water at the drugstore
Thank you for your vulnerability. It shows a deeper beauty and courage than most show. I have to say I cannot wait to see your notifications pop up. You make my heart full. Thank you for being YOU!❤ PS you make me giggle. "Wooly Mammoth"
I was so happy to come across this video! I always wonder about your routine and I love watching your tips and tricks. You are beautiful inside and out-your personality shines through everything you do and that’s what makes me keep watching!
Thank you for this video. It really touched me when you let yourself be so vulnerable. I'm glad God gave you the strength to make this so you could share your knowledge with all of us. Blessings ❤️
A. You are a natural beauty. B. Thank you for the eyebrow waxing - I've always been nervous to do my own. C. One simple thing I do in the morning, (and I love,) is to take a very hot wash cloth (almost boiling) and place it over my whole bare face for a few seconds, then gently massage my face with it, and then my neck. It just feels so wonderful and energizing. A totally free spa-like feeling to start my morning.
I remember when one of your videos was randomly recommended by youtube. I was like, 'she's gorgeous!' I clicked on it and was so happy that the inside matched the outside. It's really unbelievable how peoples words could do so much damage to us. You sharing your story helped me realize that even the most beautiful of people have insecurities. Thank you for this video and being so vulnerable.
@@KristenHoffman you mentioned grandpa eyebrows... my grandpa's are so long, it's like 45% of his identity. 😂 I'm enjoying this video, don't worry about looking like a fool because you don't.
Such great make up tips. I also get asked if I don’t feel well if I go out without make up. It has always upset me. You are truly gorgeous and I find you so honest and real .
First found your love story video and then came here; I love how real you are ❤ People sometimes don't think the impact their words can have, thats why its so vital to think before we speak and consider if we would want the same said to us! I cant believe someone would say that. True beauty radiates from the inside, out 💖💖
You are naturally beautiful! I'm 66 years old, wrinkles everywhere and my face breaks out from stress. Also on blood thinner because of blood clotting disease. I hate wearing makeup all the time and have gotten where I could care less what others think I look like! God loves you just the way you are!
Kristen, your skin is radiant! Fair skin is beautiful! Your bone structure will carry you into aging with grace. Your gift to your daughters is how you are learning to love yourself just as god created you. Embracing your natural gifts will not only instill confidence in your girls it will lift you up. As a much older woman I look back at my past struggles trying to achieve what was considered fashionable beauty in the 70’s and shake my head. There is a generation of women left with pencil thin eyebrows from over plucking in our quest for fashionable beauty. 😩😂 Kristen you are beautiful and anyone who has made you feel otherwise has issues of their own. Have a lovely rest of your week. 🙂
@@KristenHoffman, my heart goes out to women who are chasing the current fad by Micro-bladed dark fat eyebrows onto their faces. My understanding is micro-blading is permeant. Some fool is going to eventually declare pencil thin eyebrows are the new standard of beauty… then what? I wish we could all see beauty in who we are and not in what someone else’s definition of beauty is.
Love this! Thanks for sharing your heart! And for my daughters I so badly want to not focus on appearance and looks and to show her that I don’t need makeup to be beautiful, and neither does she. My mom, geandma(feel like the older generations sometimes put so much emphasis on beauty) so that’s been hard for me, but glad I get to do it different with my daughter💜
I keep the neutrogena wipes by my bed for those times when I'm just ready to climb in bed. I typically use micellar water to remove my makeup. It's cheap and works very well.
Hi! I use caudalie vinoclean makeup remover Oil to remove waterproof makeup and mascara. Few drops and ir works like a charm. Afterwards I clean my face with a face soap. Hope ir works!
I loved this video! You were real and funny and encouraging 💕 I grew up listening to unkind remarks in school but by His grace learned how beautiful He made each one of us.💕 Now I’m drawn to girls or ladies who seem to feel abit uncomfortable about their looks or themselves and try to bring them encouragement of just how beautiful they are💕 I’m now 66 so beauty is deep . Lol. Loved the shaver . I get that. Loved how you do your eyes. Best I’ve ever seen. Thank you 🌸 Nancy

Wish I had been more like you at your age. I've had hurtful things said to me too. I've been waiting for this video. Thank you. You're beautiful.
Thank you so much, Diane!
Just watched this and can I tell you that you are sooo naturally pretty!! Thank you for sharing your routine, so honest and refreshing to watch. Sending you much love from England. Subscribed❤
You are beautiful INSIDE and OUT! I have not tried retinol or dermaplaning for the same reasons you mentioned. Irritation and growing a beard! But because you are a christian woman , which tells me your honest,I’m going to try them both! Love the lipstick trick! I use eyeshadow on my eyebrows too! I thought I was the only one! Your make up looks so beautiful and natural!! I love your style and your home style as well! I enjoy watching all the great buys you find! Stay strong!🙏
I live a simple life. I'm a natural blonde. At 51, I've tried it all. Mom to an 18 y/o daughter. 'Some' people make the strangest remarks. In no way, do they define your beauty. We are each unque, and are perfectly imperfect I use a Makeup Remover cloth that can be re-used (and takes everything off). If I need a deeper cleanser, I use Philosophy's Purity Made Simple Cleanser (the 3 oz version goes a long way). I skip all of the active skincare/devices/gadgets/supplements and use lots of sunscreen daily. I use a BB cream very sparingly or a water-based foundation. I do dermaplane. Sunscreen is the best anti-aging cream out there!. Best beauty item?. Your smile!.
You are absolutely gorgeous without and with make-up!
Pretty please can we have a hair tutorial? I particularly love how put a curl/wave in your hair. Would love to know how to do that.
I’ll definitely have to try your lipstick technique! I’d be interested to see a video about your favorite/go to jewelry and where you like to buy it :)
I love that you posted this video. You're beautiful inside and out and it's sad that a family member would say such a horrible thing to you. That was UGLY‼️ It's better to let your inner beauty shine/love of God shine.....better to be salt and light. Keep being you ❣️
You are just so beautiful inside and out. People are so dumb with their remarks. I have funny elbows it’s been my whole life that people have made fun of me and you know what I wear. Short sleeves or sleeveless, I don’t care and like me for me or you’re missing out because I try to be a nice person ,and to be kind to everyone and that’s what life is about not looks. Thank you so much for sharing, and being honest. May God continue to shine down upon you and your family
Thank you, Brenda!
If you want to find someone to help you find some great makeup try Morgan Turner make up she does some wonderful tutorials. I think you are a beautiful young lady. You have such a beautiful glow from inside out.
Yes, please do a hair video!
So surprised someone would say that to you. You are the definition of a natural beauty!
Yes, please for your hair routine. Thanks also for the makeup routine!!!
Kristen…wow, we all have those “comments” from people that just hang with us and have such an impact. I’m so happy to see that the majority of the comments are telling you…you are beautiful inside and out. I so agree! I’m praying that we can all remove those “negative comments” from our thoughts. Blessings to you❤
Thank you so much, Lori!
If you’re looking for some inexpensive natural beauty remedies just go to your kitchen! I use egg whites for a mask all the time and it works so well for firming, organic pastured is the best. Also you can use coconut oil, olive oil and honey to cleanse and hydrate. I also love to use homemade kefir as a probiotic face mask. Oatmeal makes a gentle exfoliant
Love this!
I watched dr oz on you tube talking about apple cider vinegar .I decided to try it as I had a patch of dark pigmentation on my face caused by the sun I dilated it in water and it took months but it worked and only cost me a few dollars 🤩
Oh girl you are naturally beautiful!!!!
I understand how you feel, I'm a redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows...and people have said the said the same to me. One girl in school during my junior high years told me should would kill herself if she had been born a redhead.
As I got older I realized that was her insecurities trying to make herself feel better.
Please know that you are beautiful inside and out and I watch you because you add to my days. I love your family and all you stand for...keep up the great choices in your life.
All my support and admiration 🌹
What an awful thing to say! I actually prayed that Rosie would have red hair!
I love red hair,but I’m black going on grey need to dye my hair again
I'm also a redhead with blond lashes and brows (and hereditary dark circles). The one mean girl who teased me for my hair color as a child now dyes her blond hair red as a 50+ year old. Ha!
@@rachelhele7827 I have black hair and have been getting grays since I was about 20 years old. At 40, I dye my roots every 3 weeks, and I'm down to needing to dye them every two. 😭
You are gorgeous! I have not worn make up in over 30 years. I have severe allergies to most make up ingredients. We love you as God has made you.
Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear about your allergies!
You are so pretty, with and without makeup. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. I wear less, less makeup on the weekends so when people see me without or with less makeup they have become accustomed to it. I loved this video and generally all of your videos.
Glad to see you do not over pluck your eyebrows I used to have thick eyebrows now I have almost no eyebrows with aging they have disappeared ❤
Oh no!
Rewatching I was in tears listening to you in the bathroom I'm sorry you feel that way - you are BEAUTIFUL! It's wrong how negative comments linger in the background
❤
Wow! All these years I've been curling my eyelashes after mascara when they are sticky... I learned something today! Thanks for your honest chat!
This is the best makeup/beauty tutorial I’ve ever seen! So down to earth and REAL. 🤍🤍
Also, you are stunning with and without your makeup. 100% natural beauty.
I’ve always thought you were stunning. And you’re a lovely “do unto others” person. A wonderful example for others. Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so beautiful! We as mother’s NEED to learn to love ourselves first of course after we love God! That way we know how to love our family ❤. You are so awesome!
You are a natural beauty. Thank you so much for being so transparent. You are such a wonderful mother and you will be a true blessing to your girls as they grow and navigate these emotions, too. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, in His image. You are chosen and set a part. I think you radiate with God's love and truth!
Thank you so much, Kate!
Can you show how you trim and shape your nails?
I use Always Off reusable makeup remover cloths- they are the best.
I used to use wipes to clean make up off but for years I have used coconut oil. It is cheaper and leaves your skin soft 😀
Oh Kristen, don’t let someone’s words destroy you. You are so beautiful with and without makeup but most important, you are so spiritually beautiful. You rock beauty even without makeup. Your family and your home are beautiful as well. You are blessed!!
Thank you so much, Gloria!
I'm still crying from someone actually saying you are not naturally beautiful. OMG they might be your relative but they really don't know you. Kristen, you are sooooo beautiful not just outside but inside. This might sound morbid but I'm almost 70 so thinking more about what I have done with my life and what kind of legend I am leaving to my kids and grandkids after I die. Kristen, just know that you have 7,700 viewers that appreciate you for her you are and not what you look like. You're already a legend. Love you girl....
Wow, what an encouraging message! Thank you so much, Terri!
Thank you. The word I need to insert for legend is LEGACY. Sorry lol
Thank you for your makeup routine!! YES .. to the hair routine also!!
You are so sweet. Who ever told you about the natural beauty thing is crazy!! Natural beauty comes from within..has nothing to do with your face. If you are a beautiful person on the inside, it naturally shows..you, my dear, are full of beauty. Rise up and shine! Remember who’s daughter you are! ❤️😉😘
You are GORGEOUS not only on the outside but on the inside as well and don’t let anyone, including yourself, make you feel otherwise. Your love for God, for your husband and your children is immense. You have loved, forgiven and helped those around you become a better version of themselves because you have shown love by example. Please give yourself grace and know you are loved. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
@@KristenHoffman well deserved! ♥️
You are beautiful inside out! Don't let people get to you. I know the feeling all so well. When you said that, that was said to you you made me cry. You see I come from a family of 6. 4 boys and just my sister and I. My sister is beautiful and all of my uncles on my dad's use to tell me that I was the ugly duckling. This stuck with me my whole life and I hated myself for being "ugly" I had to learn that I am not perfect and thats ok. Long story short about 11 years ago the same uncles that use to call me an ugly duckling told me that I had become a beautiful swan that I had grown into my looks. I told him i was always beautiful and that he should keep his comments to himself and walked away.
Seriously!
Be your beautiful self. Beauty comes from inside, and I hear that in your voice and see it in your videos. The first video I saw of you, I thought you reminded me of my friend who is naturally pretty and so kind. ❤
Thank you!
You are naturally beautiful!! So pretty with or without makeup! Some people say things without thinking. So hurtful! Your sparkling personality and positive outlook on life make you irresistible! I love watching all your videos. Don’t believe the naysayers! And I think your girls are sooo adorable and they sure love their mommy! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Yvonne!
Amazing post! You are so naturally beautiful inside and out! Thank you for being so genuine and real to so many real women that watch you. It is so refreshing!
I love how honest you are and how you will share all:) what a great testimony:)
Always!
You are beautiful Kristen! Apart from any makeup or anything! You are beautiful in and out
To me you're beautiful with or without makeup, you're beautiful inside and out. 💞
Thank you, Sheila!
So pretty with and without makeup!
Aww, thank you!
O my dear, please dont let people tell you any different than your beautiful.... God made you just the way you are. And trust me the person saying that to you was jealous of your beauty inside and out. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kristen- you are beautiful without makeup! This may not help you now, but trust me on this one- I’m in my 60s and I feel beautiful and really don’t give a damn what other people think. True beauty comes from confidence and being a kind and loving person.
Thank you so much, Elena
I have similar coloring to you and I'm often asked if I am sick if I don't have makeup or tanner on. I was even told once, without makeup you can't see my face. Thankfully I have outgrown those insecurities with age, for the most part. I want to say thank you for sharing this because it is an awesome reminder of how important it is that we show ourselves and love ourselves the way the Lord loves us....with make up or without! You are incredibly beautiful both ways. I appreciate you sharing your bare skin because it looks more similar to mine without makeup. I think the Lord prompted you to make this video to remind all of us that we are beautiful without makeup as well! This is just one more reason that we all love you and find comfort in learning from you! Thanks for being a blessing to us all! Keep doing what you're doing, please!
What a sweet message! Thank you so much, Traci!
Girl you are insanely beautiful without makeup! Thanks for showing us your routine!
Hi Kristen! I've been watching you for couple months now, love your videos! And you are truly natural beauty! ❤ your kids are proving it! Lovely and beautiful family 🤍🙏 God bless you guys!
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed your simple drugstore product tutorial.
I missed the name and brand of the blush you used.
I'm not at home at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it's Elf!
I just found this now and soooo happy to see this//love this//
This was the best RUclips video I’ve ever seen because it was the realest and most vulnerable
Aw, thank you, Victoria.
Love your content. Love your beauty routine ❤
Thank you so much!!
Loved seeing the drugstore products. That's all I use and it was nice to see some different tips and tricks.
Thank you for sharing this and for your honesty all the way through. You look beautiful with or without makeup 💖
You are too kind!
Kristin, you are very pretty without makeup. You are naturally pretty!
For makeup remover, I suggest the washable bamboo pads with micellar water. Whatever you use, don’t pull at your lashes. Hold the wipe over your lashes to loosen the mascara up, then wipe away.
I got the bamboo pads on Amazon and the water at the drugstore
You are gorgeous both inside and out!! Gods grace is definitely with you!! 😊
Thank you for your vulnerability.
It shows a deeper beauty and courage than most show.
I have to say I cannot wait to see your notifications pop up. You make my heart full.
Thank you for being YOU!❤
PS you make me giggle. "Wooly Mammoth"
This is so kind! Thank you!
So relatable!!! And micellar water is great for taking off makeup ❤
I was so happy to come across this video! I always wonder about your routine and I love watching your tips and tricks. You are beautiful inside and out-your personality shines through everything you do and that’s what makes me keep watching!
Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this video. It really touched me when you let yourself be so vulnerable. I'm glad God gave you the strength to make this so you could share your knowledge with all of us. Blessings ❤️
I try to always be authentic with yall!
A. You are a natural beauty. B. Thank you for the eyebrow waxing - I've always been nervous to do my own. C. One simple thing I do in the morning, (and I love,) is to take a very hot wash cloth (almost boiling) and place it over my whole bare face for a few seconds, then gently massage my face with it, and then my neck. It just feels so wonderful and energizing. A totally free spa-like feeling to start my morning.
I remember when one of your videos was randomly recommended by youtube. I was like, 'she's gorgeous!' I clicked on it and was so happy that the inside matched the outside. It's really unbelievable how peoples words could do so much damage to us. You sharing your story helped me realize that even the most beautiful of people have insecurities. Thank you for this video and being so vulnerable.
Wow, thank you!
I recommend Trim Healthy Mama and Mineral Fusion makeup.
Thank you, Bethany!
@@KristenHoffman you mentioned grandpa eyebrows... my grandpa's are so long, it's like 45% of his identity. 😂 I'm enjoying this video, don't worry about looking like a fool because you don't.
Such great make up tips. I also get asked if I don’t feel well if I go out without make up. It has always upset me. You are truly gorgeous and I find you so honest and real .
Thank you so much, Gail!
First found your love story video and then came here; I love how real you are ❤
People sometimes don't think the impact their words can have, thats why its so vital to think before we speak and consider if we would want the same said to us! I cant believe someone would say that. True beauty radiates from the inside, out 💖💖
Thank you so much!!
You are naturally beautiful! I'm 66 years old, wrinkles everywhere and my face breaks out from stress. Also on blood thinner because of blood clotting disease. I hate wearing makeup all the time and have gotten where I could care less what others think I look like!
God loves you just the way you are!
You are right!
You. are. naturally. GORGEOUS!!! OMG!
YOU ARE BEYOND BEAUTIFUL! You are stunning even with no makeup! AND with your personality you shine 10 fold!! ❤
Wow, thank you!
Kristen, your skin is radiant! Fair skin is beautiful! Your bone structure will carry you into aging with grace. Your gift to your daughters is how you are learning to love yourself just as god created you. Embracing your natural gifts will not only instill confidence in your girls it will lift you up. As a much older woman I look back at my past struggles trying to achieve what was considered fashionable beauty in the 70’s and shake my head. There is a generation of women left with pencil thin eyebrows from over plucking in our quest for fashionable beauty. 😩😂 Kristen you are beautiful and anyone who has made you feel otherwise has issues of their own. Have a lovely rest of your week. 🙂
Thank you so much!! Isn't it funny how trends change?
@@KristenHoffman, my heart goes out to women who are chasing the current fad by Micro-bladed dark fat eyebrows onto their faces. My understanding is micro-blading is permeant. Some fool is going to eventually declare pencil thin eyebrows are the new standard of beauty… then what? I wish we could all see beauty in who we are and not in what someone else’s definition of beauty is.
❤ you’re beautiful inside and out, never let anyone tell you otherwise
Thank you, Edie!
Love this! Thanks for sharing your heart!
And for my daughters I so badly want to not focus on appearance and looks and to show her that I don’t need makeup to be beautiful, and neither does she. My mom, geandma(feel like the older generations sometimes put so much emphasis on beauty) so that’s been hard for me, but glad I get to do it different with my daughter💜
I keep the neutrogena wipes by my bed for those times when I'm just ready to climb in bed. I typically use micellar water to remove my makeup. It's cheap and works very well.
Hi! I use caudalie vinoclean makeup remover Oil to remove waterproof makeup and mascara. Few drops and ir works like a charm. Afterwards I clean my face with a face soap. Hope ir works!
You are beautiful inside and out! With or without makeup! God bless you sweetheart! ❤️🙏😊💕
such an artist. I enjoyed your make up, skin care tips.
I loved this video! You were real and funny and encouraging 💕 I grew up listening to unkind remarks in school but by His grace learned how beautiful He made each one of us.💕 Now I’m drawn to girls or ladies who seem to feel abit uncomfortable about their looks or themselves and try to bring them encouragement of just how beautiful they are💕 I’m now 66 so beauty is deep . Lol. Loved the shaver . I get that. Loved how you do your eyes. Best I’ve ever seen. Thank you 🌸 Nancy
God bless you, Nancy!
Loved it! Would love to see hair routine and products you use..
