I loved this intro! Sometimes it's hard to find true honesty on RUclips and I'm so happy you opened up about that!!! PS- I thought you were gonna explain your theory on the show scandal or something but this was good too. Lmao
As a presenter for Younique, I apologize for the actions of those presenters. It's extremely unprofessional and just downright wrong. It's people like them that give such a bad reputation for the company and I feel embarrassed for what they did. Thank you for giving an honest review of the product. You have been one of my favorite beauty gurus for years now and I'm sorry for what you went through. I promise you that not all presenters are like that and again I apologize for their wrongdoings. Much love! Xoxo
So kind of you to personally apologize even though you had nothing to do with it. I've never heard of Younique. I'm still interested in the brand and learning more about it.
+Amie Gie it's the least I can do! At the end of the day, what they did was wrong and I don't want their actions to affect how people perceive Younique. Unfortunately it already has, so all I can do is voice my opinion about the matter and try to make things somewhat right.
+Kimmie Cenzon I was going to say the same thing! I'm a brand new presenter and I feel terribly bad that she had that experience with younique. On that note I'd like to know who she bought from that it was $55 USD and $15 for shipping! It is only $39 dollars and shipping is $5.50...am I wrong?
+Kimmie Cenzon I am a presenter as well and was also extremely embarrassed after watching this. I am sorry that some presenters are so pushy. I really hope that people realize that not all presenters are unprofessional.
You always approach situations with so much dignity, respect and honesty! You make us RUclipsrs look so good! Love your channel and your vlog channel, been watching for years and hate seeing you upset when you have your down days but love it when you're having a good productive day full of energy, you definitely inspire me with my RUclips channel and I love that! Much love! xx
I agree fully I am a soon to be presenter and thankful my sponsor and others around me are not pushy on selling and they do their makeup amazingly. Younique as a company is really good, ALOT of the presenters are the issue with them which sucks because their makeup is truly very good.
They usually do not. They are just Pyramid scammers trying to make money. So they take a 20 min course by another Representative that doea not know much more. Coming from a Certified artist, it is annoying actually.
'Their' as in the company. But yeah, I too am a bit fed up of every bombardment I have gotten from presenters. If I want to buy something, I will. Stop asking me.
I use to sell it and couldn't stand my up lines and how pushy they where. I still to this day have people try to sell me stuff (same 3 people) and I tell them NO I AM NOT INTERESTED. And they will still pester me and try to sell me stuff.. 🙄 cool selling techniques right?!
by the way it IS illegal for them to use your image without an actual review... its like you taking pictures with a diet pill and the company steals your image and prints you love it... you should ask them to remove your image associating you with the product
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like I'm pretty sure it's illegal to use someone's pictures without their permission and then it's even more illegal to change the original intent or message of whatever they posted.
Except social media platforms such as Facebook have teams of clever lawyers make it so if you ever upload photos onto your profile they can use them, sell them and reproduce them as much as they want (it's written in the T&C when you first sign up to Facebook). I'm not sure what the rule is with snapchat but it wouldn't surprise me if it is set up the same way.
+Kim Wilson it's more along the line of any photo being uploaded to Facebook or Instagram can be used as advertising for that company. Younique don't own Facebook or Instagram so it is still illegal for them to steal an image.
+Brandee Michelle I have a friend who was a Younique rep for a whopping 2 months before she left the company because she was confronted many times by her employer and even fellow reps that she wasn't being "assertive enough" and needs to "push the products more", which I found absolutely ridiculous. If anything, being "assertive" and pushy if more off-putting than anything, and certainly does not make me want to buy their products! I agree, completely unprofessional
I am not a presenter and I ended up trying the product a few weeks ago and I love it I actually ended up liking it so much I am thinking about selling it! defiantly worth a try.
There is no need to be pushy u send 1 message if they want to order from i they will if they don’t they won’t i personally reaches out to my family and friends on Facebook to let them know I am a presenter and if I see a product that I know one of my friends and or customers would love I left them know about it and that is that if they want it they will contact ya 😊
Any business with pushy sales reps always turned me off of the brand, like Mary Kay, Avon, etc. I always steer clear of them. Thanks for making this review :)
+Olivia Jones Mary Kay isn't as bad as younique for sure! I've got multiple women who rep younique and spam my feed with their mascara and whatnot. I don't have that issue with Mary Kay at all. :)
+MakeupwithJess I've encountered very wonderful women from Mary Kay! they've never pushed a product on me but they have given me lots of samples of products! They were so wonderful I ended up buying a perfume from them!
I have actually experienced pushy reps for both Mary Kay and Avon. I am sure not all of them are, but there are definitely some and they are the ones to turn me off of the brands.
Omg what a messed up thing to do!!! Is so bad for companies to take advantage of your honesty.. That's why so many of us watch you and they outright used that to promote themselves!! Xxx
+Cait Patterson I feel sorry for you, that's all. I'm an intelligent woman and I don't need your negativity to know how the world works. Believe it or not I'm all grown up. Thanks to Jen for telling us everything that goes on behind the scenes of RUclips, and the website you can go to you see how much each person on here makes. Seems to me that you haven't done any actual research into the things you spew about so I'm not going to argue with someone who just throws their hands up into the air! I'm glad you adore Jaclyn Hill so much.. maybe you should go watch her video about stopping the meaningless ranting in the comments section?
As a Younique presenter, I totally respect your review and thoughts! A lot of sales reps are a bit aggressive and pushy, I pride myself in knowing I am personally not one of those reps. I love the honesty in your video and I find it very appropriate!
+Shannon Alligood I'm a presenter too, in Australia. I loved this review. I thought it was very honest. I can not stand pushy presenters they are destroying such a good company. :(
+Kyah Carter-Jones I have a question about some of the younique foundations. I see countless videos on Facebook of the foundation covering up sharpie now of course I am going to be completely skeptical especially since I have seen reviews from regular people and although they really liked the foundation and thought it had amazing coverage the coverage was no where near good enough to cover a sharpie so can it really do that or is it just some sales reps trying to get more sales?
+Brittnee McCoy I believe it is just them trying to get more sales. I watched one where the girl first done it and it didn't cover then she was like "well you have to apply a little more and pat it on instead of swirl..." then i had a presenter actually tell me she stopped sharing those videos bc it doesn't really work like that & cover the way they say it does
Honestly no its not going to cover a sharpie in my opinion. It's got nice coverage don't get me wrong but I personally don't like those videos. It will cover redness and blemishes but I still conceal too. I'm not sure why some presenters have the idea its a 100% full coverage foundation because it was only ever marketed as medium and build able. I have a video on my youtube channel applying it. No sharpies or liners involved. xx
shan did an amazing job on how she explained everything about the scandal. companies like this exist everywhere and it needed to be addressed. Stay beautiful shan ily xxxx
I feel like this is why you're so well respected in the beauty community reguardless you're amazing make up skills and beauty, you put your opinions just blunt and straight to the point. love you so much! xoxo from the US!
I think it is such a shady brand with pushy selling methods! It actually scares me and makes me have no desire to purchase anything from them whatsoever. Also, YSL X Younique... I'd pick YSL in a heartbeat.
OMG yes! I agree with you, overall the brand is just trying to sell their stuff and they have no professional makeup artists whatsoever they sell to whomever falls for their tactics and an overpriced cheap foundation? umm no thanks there's better quality and better brands! :)
Thank you for your honesty Shannon! I had a bad experience with Younique on Twitter, where after favoriting some of a makeup brand's tweets a rep started harassing me to check out the mascara, and was non-stop tweeting me. When I blocked the rep, she dm'd me on a separate account and got angry at me. Seems like a bad, dishonest company.
+Carina Coestad that rep. is just asking for you to put them on blast and post the dm[&tweets if they exist] on twitter! You could have easily done so when you blocked them! That person took it there and dm you well....muhahaha! Not for the record am I "being pushy" hehe this is totally your choice! lol ;)
That is what they are told to do. If you are not making sales or recruiting, your sponsor will tell you you are insecure and afraid of rejection. Not pushing equals no self confidence.
+mskatonic1 Where do you get that from?? I know several wonderful sellers, including my daughter. They are NOT told to do that!!! And, I know many sellers who wouldn't anyway!! Yes, there are pushy sellers out there with no respect or boundaries, but you can say that about any company. You're now doing a similar thing that this video is talking about. You're saying things that aren't true.
I can't bring myself to buy Younique products because most of the people I'm surrounded by that sell them are NOT very good at doing their makeup. I'm not saying all are bad- but from a girl that does "makeup" as a hobby and as a business, I just don't see anything professional with Younique at all. If you're not even relatively good at doing makeup, you're not going to sell it very well. (Or if you don't know how to use products correctly!) Just like how most beauty RUclipsrs that have HQ videos and cameras have a lot more subscribers than ones who don't.
I agree completely. A girl I used to work with (quite tomboy, only wears hoodies and no makeup ever) started selling younique and wouldn't leave me alone on fb because she knew I was a makeup lover/major wearer. I finally gently told her I was not interested so stop asking. Sick of it
+Dejha Becker I got younique products for free (like a lot of different things) and although there sales people suck their products that I have are amazing. I love their brushes and eyeshadows I got. I didn't really like the blushes or concealer but the eyeshadows and brushes were great. I got these as testers so it was free. I wouldn't buy it but their products aren't horrible.
Shannon I've always trusted you because you're very honest with whatever you review! So many people love that about you and we know you have every right to be upset with them for what they did! Don't worry about what they say regarding the so called "negative" comments you gave. you are being real with your fans because you don't want us to buy something that possibly could not work for us. keep being yourself Shann don't worry if they don't like it because we (your fans) will always love you!!! xoxo
I can't believe they twisted this up. Wow. I find younique presenters really pushy. I've been trying to find a video about this foundation but all I can find is presenters doing videos. It's nice to see someone other than a presenter giving an honest opinion!
+Emylee Missewace I know! I find it so strange that there are countless sales reps with reviews and videos of the foundations covering up sharpie yet not one single videos of a regular person doing it.
+Brittnee McCoy the reason is because we are all regular people selling Younique. But you guys have given me an idea! I will go to each of my clients and ask them to be part of a video showing why they love it so that more regular people (who don't sell Younique) can share their review. Thanks so much!!!
I can't speak for anyone else but I know that I am a regular person...I am a mom and a wife and a teacher and I work just like everyone else. You will never get a review from me that isn't honest, even from Younique. I have no doubt that there are many Y presenters that I would not buy from because of how they manage their businesses. But the truth is that those presenters don't define me or my business. It is disappointing that anyone would choose to avoid Younique products based on bad presenters. Truth is that you could be missing out on something you might love. But I really do understand being turned off by pushy presenters. Trust me, it drives me crazy!
I hated the younique foundation! like you said, it transfers like CRAZY!!! For me, even when I set it with powder, it NEVER SETS!!! It either gets VERY PATCHY throughout the day or its completely gone. oily skinned girls like me, stay far away from this foundation!!! This foundation is definitely NOT worth the hype!!! It's a HUGE fail in my book!
really appreciate you doing this for your viewers Shan. I only know you virtually aha, but i actually trust your judgement and reviews when it comes to products, as you are extremely genuine in your videos, and you're not afraid to speak up if you think something is crap. one of my favourite youtuber's/beauty guru's of all time
Thank you for your honesty on this, I'm very wary of this brand for the same reason as you and it's £30! You can buy YSL fusion ink for £31, Estée Lauder double wear for £30, and my hg Nars sheer glow for £31, so this reason I wouldn't even bother trying, if it was a decent brand it would sell itself without people all over Facebook saying it's the best thing ever! Love you Shan xoxo
Exactly, why are there barely any Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, or McLaren commercials or advertisement... The vehicles sell themselves, with the help of the wealthy individuals who purchase them, and using Shannon's face was a prime example of what these representatives seem to be trying to do!
so proud of you for being honest! never feel like you have to censor your opinion. you are not responsible for the presenters/reps' commission. I love that you stayed true to yourself!
So sorry that happened to you Shannon!! I have been watching you for 5 years and only just signed up with Younique, but could never imagine doing that to anyone. Love you and your videos!!!
I accidentally disliked instead of liked but I changed it. 😭 I felt like a sales rep for a moment. I literally said "OMG I WORK FOR YOUNIQUE" then I liked it and said "oh. Unemployed."
I'm so glad you did this! I've been curious about an honest review from a non-sales rep. I'm a bit turned off by any brand with this kind of sales technique though, especially when people start to get pushy haha
Thumbs up for, Shan. She is so professional and handled the situation kinder than I think most people would have, and kinder than those reps deserved. She's such a sweet baby. I love her. ☺️😍
I appreciate this so much, just by the fact that no matter what brand it is you would still tell the truth and your thoughts on the product truthfully. That really does show you genuinely love about each and every product you mention or promote xx
Thank you so much for being honestly with us Shannon. Regardless of how the company would view your thoughts on the foundation, rather than you sugar coating it
Shannon you are so classy and real! You have every right to feel the way you do, and they should not message and shame you for being upset that they took your image and said you loved something when you never said that (at the time). I love how real you are. Your opinions are yours, and people shouldn't be upset if you give your two cents about a product or company; that's the whole point of watching these videos! Love you stay just how you are
I'm not a lawyer so I can't know for sure but I am pretty sure it is illegal for them to do that. First off taking your pictures is stealing your intellectual property for financial gain, and saying you loved the product would be misleading/false advertising. It's so wrong of people to do that to you! I guess some people have very little morals when it comes to making money :( I hope its all been sorted now gorgeous xx.
I'm 100% with you girl and I'm a Younique presentor. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. You weren't negative in your review. You're honest and heartfelt. That's appreciated. Keep doing you and I'm sad that some people ruin it for the rest of us. Kudos for standing your ground.
I'm a Younique Presenter and I love this review! This young lady is just giving her honest opinion, as is her right. She's very right about those Presenters who give the hard sell, but there are a lot of decent ones, too. Way to keep it real. :)
Beth Terry I just recently became a presenter and honestly can't stand the people who constantly push their products at people. There is a such thing as too much lol
Me Too... the only thing I'd point out about this video is that the Younique Liquid Touch Foundation is that it's NOT a full coverage foundation live Estee lauder double wear its sheer to medium coverage.
You ladies are Gold! The thing to realize is that people are going to have their own opinion about the product. Not every product is going to work for each person. Go with what works for you! Glad you guys realize this...
One of my fiancés relatives is a Younique rep and she always puts me in her Facebook group I keep taking myself out but she keeps adding me and spamming me at least 3 times a day. I'm literally on the verge of unfriending her but she's family 😑
+Aleh Ramm I know she's family but when she show's lack of respect and keeps adding you the hell with "family"[obviously we know how she treats family apparently] unfriend her! If and when she gets mad be honest with her and tell her why! If she can't handle the truth well too damn bad! j/s At the end of the day it's up to you what to do with the situation your in! If it were me I wouldn't put with such behavior!
Same here. My brothers wife has a grown daughter (from another marriage) that keeps adding me to her younique group as well. I have never met her and I'm pretty sure she only friended me on Facebook to sell me younique. Even my brother and his wife have told me to ignore her requests lol.
B&E McLeod so what if you see her everyday! Requesting once is ok...twice your eye starts to twitch lollll[ok I am kidding but couldn't help it], third block and if she gives you attitude...silence is golden b/c you don't even acknowledge her..which is worse loll As far as I am concerned that's more than kind! ;) lol
So much respect to you for this! It's about time someone makes an honest review about this company without being a rep for them. I agree 100% about the pushy sales people, I've had way too many of them trying to push their products on me too... I'll probably be buying the YSL foundation, more bang for your buck anyway...younique has less product and is more expensive ? PLUS shipping ? No thanks
love your honesty! you shouldn't feel bad, the people who used your photos should. if a products good it will sell itself . your name was on the line too and they should be mad at those people not you.
Thankyou for your very honest review. I am a younique presenter but i only joined for me, not to sell. Just because I love the products. I just LOVE that you can honestly say what you feel and how it wears. In todays world we need more people like you, or we would all be bombarded and overrun with crazy sales people and taken advantage of, which is one thing I will never appreciate personally nor will I use this on anyone myself. I believe your reviews are absolutely fantastic and so very honest, and a hell of alot of presenters from all mlm sales companies could learn a thing or two from you, as my dad's always said "honestt is the best policy, and you can never forget the truth" much love to you, you beautiful soul, and dont worry about the haters, they're gonna hate regardless, live your life and keep rocking what you do, the ones that matter will always love you for it. Love & Light xx
Don't feel bad about being honest, I really appreciate it and it's one of the reasons I love watching your videos. I love how open and honest you are, it makes me trust your opinion. So thank you! And I love your videos!
To be honest I have a very small blog on Instagram and everyday I have dms and emails from people trying to sell me Younique, I had one women ask me to do a post using a photo she sent me, and say how much I loved the products and she would pay me very well!!! Yeah I couldn't delete it faster, I would never ever say I love something I have never used to make a quick buck
Not all reps are like that!!! There are a few items I would like to try and have found a great rep I will work with when ready. Some though are just to pushy
yep I do blog reviews on fb and slowly moving to youtube. I have like only 170 followers and i was approached to do it. Ridiculous I do it for fun not money.
+Samantha Bingham yeah I was shocked!!! I have met some people who sell it and actually work really hard at it the right way, so when I see someone like that it makes me sick!
I've had the exact same issue on my Instagram as well! Any time I post a photo of a makeup look I've done I get reps on my image asking me if I've tried younique blah, blah,blah. I ended up having to make a post on my Instagram asking younique reps to please stop posting on my photos and sending me DMs and that yes, I have tried your products and had a terrible reaction to both the mascara and foundation. I also would rather pay 45 dollars and get a Chanel/Nars/Estee Lauder foundation and save myself 20-30 bucks. Just my two cents though!
+BeautywithKristin exactly!!! If I wanted to try the products I would been purchased them. Not cause some keeps harassing me. Also on my personal fb page in on a lot of beauty groups and I have friend requests several times a day from reps and it's really getting old
I think we can all appreciate your honesty! It was just unnecessary for those particular presenters who took the images of you and put words in your mouth to do so and pretty disappointing. I do think that the foundation speaks for itself and to be honest it looked great at the end of the day! A little odd about the primer side though :S oxo
First of all the foundation costs $39 American dollars. Second, I'm a younique presenter and I have to agree with you. Alot of these presenters are so pushy and really make others like myself look bad.
I'm a Younique rep too and I agree! Drives me nuts to see unprofessional presenters because it's makes us, who are are doing it right and not pushy, look so bad!
+Alyssa Allison this video really just made me feel embarrassed. I have so many friends that wouldn't ever touch younique because of how pushy and almost stalkish a lot of the presenters are. Then of course they purchased from me. I made videos and post about products I'm loving but you will never ever see me in someone's inbox. Everyone has always come to me This video really upset me because what she's saying is the truth and it gives good women a bad rep
+Katy Baby yes I agree! I'm the same way! People come to me to purchase! I strive to make sure the girls under me on my team are not pushy! Although Younique presenters may have a bad rep, my team won't lol. I am just a stay at home mom trying to make money to help my family! What's wrong with that? People take it to far saying ALL presenters are awful! No we aren't! UGHHH! Drives me nuts! Rant over lol
I'm a full supporter of you Shaaanxo, what they did was so wrong, taking your photos and putting words in your mouth! If this happened to anyone else they would be just as upset as you, you know your morals and you stay true to yourself, your great and so amazing! X
Thank you for coming on here and being honest!!!! I respect you so much for telling the truth about a product and we rely on you to let us know if a company or product is good. I really appreciate the good and the bad reviews you give!!!!!
I'm a Younique presenter and I'm far from pushy. I'm actually too nervous to promote. Purely because of all the negativity a lot of the presenters have given. I will admit though, I love their products. I appreciate your honesty too :)
She also didn’t use it with youniques makeup brush. The brush in her hand might be absorbing too much. I watched several videos where they only use 7 drops for the whole face.
I'm a Younique Rep and I must say I love your honesty!! Absolutely love your review. I came across your page looking for the Younique Mascara Reviews and ended up watching all of yours. Sorry to hear about the Younique issue you had earlier. Keep it up!
I didn't like it as it's thick, oily and cakey and so easily transferable to clothes, your hands etc. It also gets disgustingly thicker the longer you have it. I had 2 bottles and both were gross after 2 and a half months. The 3D eyelashes get the same way but they dry out. will never buy their products again. Expensive for something that doesn't have a good shelf life. I paid 40 for the foundation and 35 for the lashes here in Canada. The hype wasn't worth it. I feel pretty silly for even jumping on that wagon. Not going to happen a second time.
It’s horrendous stuff it separates in the bottle after a week or so as it’s FULL of oil! It cakes, separates, transfers and sits like oily silicon in the skin...also just wait a few days after use for the mega breakout! I’m an ex presenter and I walked away from all the BS sales patter and BS products. I can uplift myself and others much more effectively without pushing bad quality products onto people and masking it as empowerment.
The representative I bought through isn't pushy thank god! She's very sweet and she's that nice balance between maintaining her page by advertising products but not over the top. Like she only posts to like inform us about when products are in stock and sometimes share reviews but not going too far
Not impressed with how many drops you had to do to get that coverage when in their videos they say 4-5 drops will cover your whole face WITH eyeliner all over it. Not a fan of having to use that much product 👎🏻
I have this foundation and I genuinely get the same coverage with 4-5 drops! I dot it all over my face and blend it out. I Think she put WAY to much on hence the reason it went patchy
holy crap! your eye colour is insanely beautiful!!! and its nice that you're so honest about your reviews. its hard to believe most of the reviews for the younique products.
So happy to see so many great comments. Especially from Younique reps!! Shannon, you are so professional and such an amazing business woman. You are absolutely justified in everything you said and handled this beautifully. Love your products, your content, your videos, your business savvy, your beauty inside and out. Happiest of New Years to you and Hamish and your pups!!! Cheers! 💛💛
I absolutely HATE Younique, EVERYTHING about them. I will NEVER EVER buy ANYTHING from them ever again. Plus for $39 (USD) plus $5+ shipping, I MUCH rather buy Born This way, KVD Lock It or MUFE Ultra HD from Sephora. I get free Flash Shipping from Sephora so for basically $45 from Younique I can buy a high end foundation from Sephora.
I jusst became a presenter today and I'm glad I watched this and read the comments. Now I understand how important it is to know when to stop, and I don't think I'll be so pushy!
i love how honest you are about the product even if they have been a bit agressive with their promotion at first. and i even like how the foundation looks on you pretty much
I am so sorry this happened to you! I wouldn't ever want to support someone who jumps the gun and twists your words! You are beautiful, inspiring and lovable! Definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs!!!
YOU GOOO, SHAN! What they did is a total absurd. I'm glad you exposed this. I hope the brand opens its eyes and realise what a shitty image they're giving. If they don't want you to review them negatively, maybe they should stop doing crap.
Most Younique presenters make me irate. I actually wanted to try their eyeshadow and new bronzing products, but after being cold messaged, guilted, insultrd and harassed by so many presenters i've decided it is not worth it. Officially the company "discourages" these behaviors, but from what i hear, from former presenters, in the groups they join they discuss how to use these tactics better and be sneakier. The only MLM I will purchase from is Posh, but that's because they don't harass me, i have to seek them out and i'm a face care whore, even though i shouldn't be buying anymore face masks. lol
hello, I'm new as a presenter!! I've seen a lot since I joined. I am not saying we are all the same either. I love what I do and never come on pushy. I am so sorry that happens to you. I will talk to my mentor and see what I can do for you. contact me www.youniqueproducts.com/Aliciakellam907/party/5530555/view
Alexia Chavez and Alicia kellam you both are snakes for posting your link in her video... being another pushy representative... very rude. some people just didn't learn. did you not even watch her video. and if you did, you actually still feel comfortable posting on her website. if people want to buy this foundation they can find the link in her description box. your Rude and Just proved everything she said in her video... so crazy wow...
Honesty is so important. I trust your recommendations because you are honest. I'm sorry for all the crap you're dealing with because of this but your subscribers will always support you :)
I tried this and absolutely hated it. I made a post about how much I actually disliked it. A couple of Younique reps contacted me and were basically making suggestions/making me feel like I didn't know how to use it; I tried it multiple ways and it just wasn't working for me. I really wanted to like it, but it just was not right for me. It got stuck on my pimples that were dry, and it didn't cover the redness of my acne. Certainly was not able to be layered for coverage either. I was so disappointed.
i'm a younique presenter but i still absolutely love you. i've always followed you for your awesome tutorials and your honesty. i understand that younique is not everyone's cup of tea,but i have alot of customers who love it, so i'm fine with that. i take this vid as constructive criticism, so i can better explain to my customers the pros and cons when trying our products. i joined younique for extra income while i'm a stay at home mum, but i'm not pushy for sales as i too hate being forced into buying something. thanx again for your honesty and i'm so sorry for your bad experience. keep doing what you're doing and i'll always follow you 😙😙😙
I think it's sad you feel the need to include a disclaimer about haters from the brand. Kind of shows what type of people generally work for them. Those are unethical business practices and they cannot use your image without your permission.
Everyone will always have something negative to say even if you're trying to be honest and it's sad but I deeply admire your truth and it makes me trust in your channel so thank you for being real!😊❤️
What they've done is illegal. It's slander to say that someone has said something they haven't and also they have posted the photo without your approval. I'm sorry you went through this frustrating time but thankyou for explaining as it as I now believe that you are a 1000% trustworthy and honest person. Not that I didn't think that before cause I did but now I believe it evermore 💕xx
I'm so glad to finally see someone who isn't a sales-rep for Younique do a review on this foundation because I honestly have been wanting to try it from all the hype I've heard about it. If you have the powder foundation I would like to see a review on that one to so I can get an honest review :)!
Noone should hate on you ..... you are giving your honest review and there is nothing wrong with that when I do my lives I always say just because I like something and it works for me does not mean u will like it and it may not work for you and so forth I am thankful we do have the 14 day love it guarantee I always stay honest
I loved this intro! Sometimes it's hard to find true honesty on RUclips and I'm so happy you opened up about that!!! PS- I thought you were gonna explain your theory on the show scandal or something but this was good too. Lmao
Ah my favorite RUclipsr commenting on my other favorite RUclipsr's video! Love you Kathleen❤️
LOL
i love you lol
+KathleenLights I thought the exact same thing! haha
I love you kathleen. ❤
As a presenter for Younique, I apologize for the actions of those presenters. It's extremely unprofessional and just downright wrong. It's people like them that give such a bad reputation for the company and I feel embarrassed for what they did. Thank you for giving an honest review of the product. You have been one of my favorite beauty gurus for years now and I'm sorry for what you went through. I promise you that not all presenters are like that and again I apologize for their wrongdoings.
Much love! Xoxo
So kind of you to personally apologize even though you had nothing to do with it. I've never heard of Younique. I'm still interested in the brand and learning more about it.
yah, it's really awesome of you guys to come on here and apologise on behalf of the company for what they've done, good on you guys :-)
+Amie Gie it's the least I can do! At the end of the day, what they did was wrong and I don't want their actions to affect how people perceive Younique. Unfortunately it already has, so all I can do is voice my opinion about the matter and try to make things somewhat right.
+Kimmie Cenzon I was going to say the same thing! I'm a brand new presenter and I feel terribly bad that she had that experience with younique.
On that note I'd like to know who she bought from that it was $55 USD and $15 for shipping! It is only $39 dollars and shipping is $5.50...am I wrong?
+Kimmie Cenzon I am a presenter as well and was also extremely embarrassed after watching this. I am sorry that some presenters are so pushy. I really hope that people realize that not all presenters are unprofessional.
You always approach situations with so much dignity, respect and honesty! You make us RUclipsrs look so good! Love your channel and your vlog channel, been watching for years and hate seeing you upset when you have your down days but love it when you're having a good productive day full of energy, you definitely inspire me with my RUclips channel and I love that! Much love! xx
I agree! Love Shannon!
+LuceStephenson Same! Definitely agree!
yes!! totally agree. I've always admired how Shannon handles herself. :)
100% agree!!!! She handles situations with such grace
100% agree, I often forget she is 21/22 because she communicates her point so well and I am continually impressed with her.
The biggest issue I have with the company is that none of the reps ever seem to know how to apply makeup, which is a huge turn off.
I agree fully I am a soon to be presenter and thankful my sponsor and others around me are not pushy on selling and they do their makeup amazingly. Younique as a company is really good, ALOT of the presenters are the issue with them which sucks because their makeup is truly very good.
Emma Gill Yes, my mom is a presenter. Most of the other presenters (80%) stink at their makeup lol.
So true An it’s turnoff
@@notttkaitlyn541 just be careful as they may be nice in the beginning, but aggressive later.
They usually do not. They are just Pyramid scammers trying to make money. So they take a 20 min course by another Representative that doea not know much more. Coming from a Certified artist, it is annoying actually.
Their selling technique is the main reason I refuse to buy from Younique.
RoxieRoulette their? don't judge all on one person.
'Their' as in the company. But yeah, I too am a bit fed up of every bombardment I have gotten from presenters. If I want to buy something, I will. Stop asking me.
RoxieRoulette well, I hate that you've dealt with pushy presenters.
I use to sell it and couldn't stand my up lines and how pushy they where. I still to this day have people try to sell me stuff (same 3 people) and I tell them NO I AM NOT INTERESTED. And they will still pester me and try to sell me stuff.. 🙄 cool selling techniques right?!
RoxieRoulette I'm a presenter! But I agree. Spammy presenters are the WORST.
by the way it IS illegal for them to use your image without an actual review... its like you taking pictures with a diet pill and the company steals your image and prints you love it... you should ask them to remove your image associating you with the product
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like I'm pretty sure it's illegal to use someone's pictures without their permission and then it's even more illegal to change the original intent or message of whatever they posted.
Shan needs to read this!
Except social media platforms such as Facebook have teams of clever lawyers make it so if you ever upload photos onto your profile they can use them, sell them and reproduce them as much as they want (it's written in the T&C when you first sign up to Facebook). I'm not sure what the rule is with snapchat but it wouldn't surprise me if it is set up the same way.
+upbowstaccatogivesmenightmares magazines do this all the time...
+Kim Wilson it's more along the line of any photo being uploaded to Facebook or Instagram can be used as advertising for that company.
Younique don't own Facebook or Instagram so it is still illegal for them to steal an image.
I can really tell that you're a very honest person and wanna keep integrity when doing your job. I appreciate that.
I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!
Younique reps are notorious for being aggressive and just... Not professional.
definitely
That's exactly why I don't want to buy their products, too aggressive and I'm too cheap anyway lol
So true. Which is sad as I like most of their makeup. Thankfully I have found a rep that isn't like that. Too many are.
+Brandee Michelle I have a friend who was a Younique rep for a whopping 2 months before she left the company because she was confronted many times by her employer and even fellow reps that she wasn't being "assertive enough" and needs to "push the products more", which I found absolutely ridiculous. If anything, being "assertive" and pushy if more off-putting than anything, and certainly does not make me want to buy their products! I agree, completely unprofessional
+Brandee Michelle they are so self centered and think theirs are the best. try new things
I'd like to try the foundation, but the moment anyone tries to pressure me you can kiss any sales goodbye.
I am not a presenter and I ended up trying the product a few weeks ago and I love it I actually ended up liking it so much I am thinking about selling it! defiantly worth a try.
Really.. awesome!! If u need any help I'm here to help you:)
I’m a presenter and I sell but I’m not pushy it’s like the sales with come to you if need be, but if you have any questions I can answer them :)
I am not a presenter but I know one that's great if u buy or not still my friend. Not pushy
Michelle Crafford is her name
There is no need to be pushy u send 1 message if they want to order from i they will if they don’t they won’t i personally reaches out to my family and friends on Facebook to let them know I am a presenter and if I see a product that I know one of my friends and or customers would love I left them know about it and that is that if they want it they will contact ya 😊
Your honesty and integrity has officially made me a subscriber :) Keep it up!
Any business with pushy sales reps always turned me off of the brand, like Mary Kay, Avon, etc. I always steer clear of them. Thanks for making this review :)
my aunt works for Mary Kay and I know where I live Mary Kay reps are awesome
+Olivia Jones Mary Kay isn't as bad as younique for sure! I've got multiple women who rep younique and spam my feed with their mascara and whatnot. I don't have that issue with Mary Kay at all. :)
+MakeupwithJess I've encountered very wonderful women from Mary Kay! they've never pushed a product on me but they have given me lots of samples of products! They were so wonderful I ended up buying a perfume from them!
I have actually experienced pushy reps for both Mary Kay and Avon. I am sure not all of them are, but there are definitely some and they are the ones to turn me off of the brands.
+MakeupwithJess yes j understand its ridiculous how this brand acts
Omg what a messed up thing to do!!! Is so bad for companies to take advantage of your honesty.. That's why so many of us watch you and they outright used that to promote themselves!! Xxx
I agree ps love your vids
Siobhan can u also do a Dewey makeup look sometime :)
Explained perfectly❤👌
I agree dramatic mac it's awful Shannon just does her best with her videos and the take her honestly and upset her it's awful x
+Cait Patterson I feel sorry for you, that's all. I'm an intelligent woman and I don't need your negativity to know how the world works. Believe it or not I'm all grown up. Thanks to Jen for telling us everything that goes on behind the scenes of RUclips, and the website you can go to you see how much each person on here makes. Seems to me that you haven't done any actual research into the things you spew about so I'm not going to argue with someone who just throws their hands up into the air! I'm glad you adore Jaclyn Hill so much.. maybe you should go watch her video about stopping the meaningless ranting in the comments section?
As a Younique presenter, I totally respect your review and thoughts! A lot of sales reps are a bit aggressive and pushy, I pride myself in knowing I am personally not one of those reps. I love the honesty in your video and I find it very appropriate!
And I 100% do not agree at all with what several sales reps did with your photos. It was truly wrong and out of line.
+Shannon Alligood I'm a presenter too, in Australia. I loved this review. I thought it was very honest. I can not stand pushy presenters they are destroying such a good company. :(
+Kyah Carter-Jones I have a question about some of the younique foundations. I see countless videos on Facebook of the foundation covering up sharpie now of course I am going to be completely skeptical especially since I have seen reviews from regular people and although they really liked the foundation and thought it had amazing coverage the coverage was no where near good enough to cover a sharpie so can it really do that or is it just some sales reps trying to get more sales?
+Brittnee McCoy I believe it is just them trying to get more sales. I watched one where the girl first done it and it didn't cover then she was like "well you have to apply a little more and pat it on instead of swirl..." then i had a presenter actually tell me she stopped sharing those videos bc it doesn't really work like that & cover the way they say it does
Honestly no its not going to cover a sharpie in my opinion. It's got nice coverage don't get me wrong but I personally don't like those videos. It will cover redness and blemishes but I still conceal too. I'm not sure why some presenters have the idea its a 100% full coverage foundation because it was only ever marketed as medium and build able. I have a video on my youtube channel applying it. No sharpies or liners involved. xx
shan did an amazing job on how she explained everything about the scandal. companies like this exist everywhere and it needed to be addressed. Stay beautiful shan ily xxxx
I feel like this is why you're so well respected in the beauty community reguardless you're amazing make up skills and beauty, you put your opinions just blunt and straight to the point. love you so much! xoxo from the US!
I think it is such a shady brand with pushy selling methods! It actually scares me and makes me have no desire to purchase anything from them whatsoever. Also, YSL X Younique... I'd pick YSL in a heartbeat.
Also accepting your virtual hugs and sending back tons of love.
soon as i see a rep i quickly block them no matter who they are. so pushy and rude!
OMG yes! I agree with you, overall the brand is just trying to sell their stuff and they have no professional makeup artists whatsoever they sell to whomever falls for their tactics and an overpriced cheap foundation? umm no thanks there's better quality and better brands! :)
+rosyblush22 Lol so true! Have you seen some of the videos!? I'm like ugh no you need to buff out your makeup girl Lol
+Raquel Manzanares most of the time it just ends up looking like a glittery grease ball.
Thank you for your honesty Shannon! I had a bad experience with Younique on Twitter, where after favoriting some of a makeup brand's tweets a rep started harassing me to check out the mascara, and was non-stop tweeting me. When I blocked the rep, she dm'd me on a separate account and got angry at me. Seems like a bad, dishonest company.
This is ridiculous! Such a bad approach to selling! :-/ It's stalking!!! 😭
That's so desperate 😂
+Carina Coestad that rep. is just asking for you to put them on blast and post the dm[&tweets if they exist] on twitter! You could have easily done so when you blocked them! That person took it there and dm you well....muhahaha! Not for the record am I "being pushy" hehe this is totally your choice! lol ;)
That is what they are told to do. If you are not making sales or recruiting, your sponsor will tell you you are insecure and afraid of rejection. Not pushing equals no self confidence.
+mskatonic1 Where do you get that from?? I know several wonderful sellers, including my daughter. They are NOT told to do that!!! And, I know many sellers who wouldn't anyway!! Yes, there are pushy sellers out there with no respect or boundaries, but you can say that about any company. You're now doing a similar thing that this video is talking about. You're saying things that aren't true.
Your lipstick at the start of this video is flawless!!
Just a random add-on, I want whoever that one person who disliked this video to confess!!!!
+Emma Magee aha yeah maybe!
I love how you're honest and how you politely confront the reps who were completely in the wrong for putting words in your mouth, you go girl!
this is why you are successful you have morals and are genuine! we appreciate you so much!
You are a class act for still uploading this even after what happened!
I can't bring myself to buy Younique products because most of the people I'm surrounded by that sell them are NOT very good at doing their makeup. I'm not saying all are bad- but from a girl that does "makeup" as a hobby and as a business, I just don't see anything professional with Younique at all. If you're not even relatively good at doing makeup, you're not going to sell it very well. (Or if you don't know how to use products correctly!) Just like how most beauty RUclipsrs that have HQ videos and cameras have a lot more subscribers than ones who don't.
I meant to use the RUclips thing as a metaphor. If you don't put out quality, you won't receive any business.
True!
I agree completely. A girl I used to work with (quite tomboy, only wears hoodies and no makeup ever) started selling younique and wouldn't leave me alone on fb because she knew I was a makeup lover/major wearer. I finally gently told her I was not interested so stop asking. Sick of it
+Dejha Becker I totally agree with this
+Dejha Becker I got younique products for free (like a lot of different things) and although there sales people suck their products that I have are amazing. I love their brushes and eyeshadows I got. I didn't really like the blushes or concealer but the eyeshadows and brushes were great. I got these as testers so it was free. I wouldn't buy it but their products aren't horrible.
I think you handled the situation perfectly.
&& Thank you for the virtual pizza. Probably the greatest thing I've heard in a while.
I think she forgot to shake it before so maybe its so "slimy"
My cousin does it, it's all she posts about now. Had no interest in make up before she became this rep or whatever
Don't let anybody bring you down, Shannon! You are my inspiration and you are the reason I look forward to do my makeup looks.
Shannon I've always trusted you because you're very honest with whatever you review! So many people love that about you and we know you have every right to be upset with them for what they did! Don't worry about what they say regarding the so called "negative" comments you gave. you are being real with your fans because you don't want us to buy something that possibly could not work for us. keep being yourself Shann don't worry if they don't like it because we (your fans) will always love you!!! xoxo
Finally someone that I trust to give a review about this foundation! So happy you did this! I love shaaanxo 💕💕💕💕🙌🏻❤️
I can't believe they twisted this up. Wow. I find younique presenters really pushy. I've been trying to find a video about this foundation but all I can find is presenters doing videos. It's nice to see someone other than a presenter giving an honest opinion!
+Emylee Missewace I know! I find it so strange that there are countless sales reps with reviews and videos of the foundations covering up sharpie yet not one single videos of a regular person doing it.
+Brittnee McCoy the reason is because we are all regular people selling Younique. But you guys have given me an idea! I will go to each of my clients and ask them to be part of a video showing why they love it so that more regular people (who don't sell Younique) can share their review. Thanks so much!!!
Heather that's where you're wrong you arnt regular people. You're presenters which sadly in the eyes of us consumers makes you incredibly biased.
I can't speak for anyone else but I know that I am a regular person...I am a mom and a wife and a teacher and I work just like everyone else. You will never get a review from me that isn't honest, even from Younique. I have no doubt that there are many Y presenters that I would not buy from because of how they manage their businesses. But the truth is that those presenters don't define me or my business. It is disappointing that anyone would choose to avoid Younique products based on bad presenters. Truth is that you could be missing out on something you might love. But I really do understand being turned off by pushy presenters. Trust me, it drives me crazy!
Always so proud of you for staying true to yourself and your viewers. This is why we love you and respect your opinion. ❤️
Thats why she has 2 million subscribers people... honesty and loyalty towards her viewers!
The fact that you are sticking up for yourself is awesome. At the end of the day this is your job and what they did was wrong
love you xx
I hated the younique foundation! like you said, it transfers like CRAZY!!! For me, even when I set it with powder, it NEVER SETS!!! It either gets VERY PATCHY throughout the day or its completely gone. oily skinned girls like me, stay far away from this foundation!!! This foundation is definitely NOT worth the hype!!! It's a HUGE fail in my book!
Literally thought this video was going to be an explanation on the show Scandal 😂
Hahahaha I am so glad I wasn't the only one!
Same!😂
Lmfao Same!!!! 😂😂😂😂
+Rachel Groeschl lolz. have't see that, they say it's good though :)
what's a show scandal?
really appreciate you doing this for your viewers Shan. I only know you virtually aha, but i actually trust your judgement and reviews when it comes to products, as you are extremely genuine in your videos, and you're not afraid to speak up if you think something is crap. one of my favourite youtuber's/beauty guru's of all time
Thank you for your honesty on this, I'm very wary of this brand for the same reason as you and it's £30! You can buy YSL fusion ink for £31, Estée Lauder double wear for £30, and my hg Nars sheer glow for £31, so this reason I wouldn't even bother trying, if it was a decent brand it would sell itself without people all over Facebook saying it's the best thing ever! Love you Shan xoxo
And love all the virtual hugs and stuff as I'm poorly and feeling sorry for myself! Xoxo
Exactly, why are there barely any Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, or McLaren commercials or advertisement... The vehicles sell themselves, with the help of the wealthy individuals who purchase them, and using Shannon's face was a prime example of what these representatives seem to be trying to do!
+Sian Pursglove damn the ysl fusion ink is cheap in europe, in canada it's 64$
+Catherine xo that's not the whole of Europe... Only the U.K uses pounds (£)
Onyx Lover i know, i look fast and thought i saw euros
so proud of you for being honest! never feel like you have to censor your opinion. you are not responsible for the presenters/reps' commission. I love that you stayed true to yourself!
So sorry that happened to you Shannon!! I have been watching you for 5 years and only just signed up with Younique, but could never imagine doing that to anyone. Love you and your videos!!!
this is the first time I've been awake and you've uploaded 🙌🏼
+Eden Tomlin same omg
+Eden Tomlin omg! same! i'm from europe and it's currently 01:18am hahaha
Me too!
I accidentally disliked instead of liked but I changed it. 😭 I felt like a sales rep for a moment. I literally said "OMG I WORK FOR YOUNIQUE" then I liked it and said "oh. Unemployed."
😂😂 this is so me
Your comment made my day
I'm so glad you did this! I've been curious about an honest review from a non-sales rep. I'm a bit turned off by any brand with this kind of sales technique though, especially when people start to get pushy haha
Thumbs up for, Shan. She is so professional and handled the situation kinder than I think most people would have, and kinder than those reps deserved. She's such a sweet baby. I love her. ☺️😍
I appreciate this so much, just by the fact that no matter what brand it is you would still tell the truth and your thoughts on the product truthfully. That really does show you genuinely love about each and every product you mention or promote xx
Thank you so much for being honestly with us Shannon. Regardless of how the company would view your thoughts on the foundation, rather than you sugar coating it
That is really sneaky!!! Glad you spoke up!! 👍🏼
I can't believe they did that !! Thanks for your honesty as always !! xxx
Shannon you are so classy and real! You have every right to feel the way you do, and they should not message and shame you for being upset that they took your image and said you loved something when you never said that (at the time). I love how real you are. Your opinions are yours, and people shouldn't be upset if you give your two cents about a product or company; that's the whole point of watching these videos! Love you stay just how you are
Starts at 7:39
thank you :)
Rachel Isawesome o
Rachel Isawesome thanks
❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU
I'm not a lawyer so I can't know for sure but I am pretty sure it is illegal for them to do that. First off taking your pictures is stealing your intellectual property for financial gain, and saying you loved the product would be misleading/false advertising. It's so wrong of people to do that to you! I guess some people have very little morals when it comes to making money :( I hope its all been sorted now gorgeous xx.
Finally!!! A beauty vlogger I can trust that won't sell their soul for a free eyeliner and brand deal, subbed!
Your makeup looks beautiful here!! When are you coming back to LA? Miss you!!
I'm 100% with you girl and I'm a Younique presentor. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. You weren't negative in your review. You're honest and heartfelt. That's appreciated. Keep doing you and I'm sad that some people ruin it for the rest of us. Kudos for standing your ground.
so much respect for you shan! don't stop being honest to your viewers because theres not many of them left on youtube!!!!
I'm a Younique Presenter and I love this review! This young lady is just giving her honest opinion, as is her right. She's very right about those Presenters who give the hard sell, but there are a lot of decent ones, too. Way to keep it real. :)
Beth Terry You are, literally the first decent presenter i've encountered. :) I hope business is boomin' for you.
Beth Terry I just recently became a presenter and honestly can't stand the people who constantly push their products at people. There is a such thing as too much lol
Me Too...
the only thing I'd point out about this video is that the Younique Liquid Touch Foundation is that it's NOT a full coverage foundation live Estee lauder double wear its sheer to medium coverage.
You ladies are Gold! The thing to realize is that people are going to have their own opinion about the product. Not every product is going to work for each person. Go with what works for you! Glad you guys realize this...
Alice Jade Rochford sheer to medium? I think it's medium to full!! Their concealer is what's amazing full coverage!! It crazy!
Omg YASSS haven't even started watching but you've already got a thumbs up cause I've been waiting for this for so long
One of my fiancés relatives is a Younique rep and she always puts me in her Facebook group I keep taking myself out but she keeps adding me and spamming me at least 3 times a day. I'm literally on the verge of unfriending her but she's family 😑
+Aleh Ramm I know she's family but when she show's lack of respect and keeps adding you the hell with "family"[obviously we know how she treats family apparently] unfriend her! If and when she gets mad be honest with her and tell her why! If she can't handle the truth well too damn bad! j/s At the end of the day it's up to you what to do with the situation your in! If it were me I wouldn't put with such behavior!
That spam though 😒
I've had the exact same experience with my neighbor! And I can't delete her cuz I see her everyday!
Same here. My brothers wife has a grown daughter (from another marriage) that keeps adding me to her younique group as well. I have never met her and I'm pretty sure she only friended me on Facebook to sell me younique. Even my brother and his wife have told me to ignore her requests lol.
B&E McLeod so what if you see her everyday! Requesting once is ok...twice your eye starts to twitch lollll[ok I am kidding but couldn't help it], third block and if she gives you attitude...silence is golden b/c you don't even acknowledge her..which is worse loll As far as I am concerned that's more than kind! ;) lol
and thats whyi looove you!hands down you are the most honest youtuber on the whole internet!
Love your honesty. You were so respectful and dignified with the way you handled this. Love you so much!!
I love you even more after this video. PREACH IT. #dontbeapusher
im a pusher cady im a pusher! (name that movie)
+alexissssf MEAN GIRLS! 😝
+alexissssf Exactly what I was referring to when hashtagging!!! Glad someone got it.
So much respect to you for this! It's about time someone makes an honest review about this company without being a rep for them. I agree 100% about the pushy sales people, I've had way too many of them trying to push their products on me too... I'll probably be buying the YSL foundation, more bang for your buck anyway...younique has less product and is more expensive ? PLUS shipping ? No thanks
love your honesty! you shouldn't feel bad, the people who used your photos should. if a products good it will sell itself . your name was on the line too and they should be mad at those people not you.
Thankyou for your very honest review. I am a younique presenter but i only joined for me, not to sell. Just because I love the products. I just LOVE that you can honestly say what you feel and how it wears. In todays world we need more people like you, or we would all be bombarded and overrun with crazy sales people and taken advantage of, which is one thing I will never appreciate personally nor will I use this on anyone myself. I believe your reviews are absolutely fantastic and so very honest, and a hell of alot of presenters from all mlm sales companies could learn a thing or two from you, as my dad's always said "honestt is the best policy, and you can never forget the truth" much love to you, you beautiful soul, and dont worry about the haters, they're gonna hate regardless, live your life and keep rocking what you do, the ones that matter will always love you for it. Love & Light xx
Don't feel bad about being honest, I really appreciate it and it's one of the reasons I love watching your videos. I love how open and honest you are, it makes me trust your opinion. So thank you! And I love your videos!
YAS! Your honesty is EVERYTHING! Thank you!
To be honest I have a very small blog on Instagram and everyday I have dms and emails from people trying to sell me Younique, I had one women ask me to do a post using a photo she sent me, and say how much I loved the products and she would pay me very well!!! Yeah I couldn't delete it faster, I would never ever say I love something I have never used to make a quick buck
Not all reps are like that!!! There are a few items I would like to try and have found a great rep I will work with when ready. Some though are just to pushy
yep I do blog reviews on fb and slowly moving to youtube. I have like only 170 followers and i was approached to do it. Ridiculous I do it for fun not money.
+Samantha Bingham yeah I was shocked!!! I have met some people who sell it and actually work really hard at it the right way, so when I see someone like that it makes me sick!
I've had the exact same issue on my Instagram as well! Any time I post a photo of a makeup look I've done I get reps on my image asking me if I've tried younique blah, blah,blah. I ended up having to make a post on my Instagram asking younique reps to please stop posting on my photos and sending me DMs and that yes, I have tried your products and had a terrible reaction to both the mascara and foundation. I also would rather pay 45 dollars and get a Chanel/Nars/Estee Lauder foundation and save myself 20-30 bucks. Just my two cents though!
+BeautywithKristin exactly!!! If I wanted to try the products I would been purchased them. Not cause some keeps harassing me. Also on my personal fb page in on a lot of beauty groups and I have friend requests several times a day from reps and it's really getting old
I think we can all appreciate your honesty! It was just unnecessary for those particular presenters who took the images of you and put words in your mouth to do so and pretty disappointing.
I do think that the foundation speaks for itself and to be honest it looked great at the end of the day! A little odd about the primer side though :S oxo
This is the reason why I like your channel. You are very honest in your videos.
ah shann you go girl, know that we support you in every and anything you want to do or say. your such a beauty inside as well as outside ❤️
Thanks for explaining ! Love this look :)
Love you for being so real!
First of all the foundation costs $39 American dollars. Second, I'm a younique presenter and I have to agree with you. Alot of these presenters are so pushy and really make others like myself look bad.
She's using New Zealand dollars, not American dollars.
I'm a Younique rep too and I agree! Drives me nuts to see unprofessional presenters because it's makes us, who are are doing it right and not pushy, look so bad!
+Alyssa Allison this video really just made me feel embarrassed. I have so many friends that wouldn't ever touch younique because of how pushy and almost stalkish a lot of the presenters are. Then of course they purchased from me. I made videos and post about products I'm loving but you will never ever see me in someone's inbox. Everyone has always come to me This video really upset me because what she's saying is the truth and it gives good women a bad rep
+Katy Baby yes I agree! I'm the same way! People come to me to purchase! I strive to make sure the girls under me on my team are not pushy! Although Younique presenters may have a bad rep, my team won't lol. I am just a stay at home mom trying to make money to help my family! What's wrong with that? People take it to far saying ALL presenters are awful! No we aren't! UGHHH! Drives me nuts! Rant over lol
+Katy Baby it's NZD not American Dollars.... America isn't the centre of the world darling
I'm a full supporter of you Shaaanxo, what they did was so wrong, taking your photos and putting words in your mouth! If this happened to anyone else they would be just as upset as you, you know your morals and you stay true to yourself, your great and so amazing! X
Thank you for coming on here and being honest!!!! I respect you so much for telling the truth about a product and we rely on you to let us know if a company or product is good. I really appreciate the good and the bad reviews you give!!!!!
I'm a Younique presenter and I'm far from pushy. I'm actually too nervous to promote. Purely because of all the negativity a lot of the presenters have given. I will admit though, I love their products. I appreciate your honesty too :)
Thank you for your honesty :)
This is YOUR channel - we come here for your opinions :)
She used like half the bottle just to get medium coverage haha no thanks 😂😂
Michelle Temi It specifically says on the bottle that it is a medium coverage not full coverage.
@@krystalroberts7467 yes, it may say that, but to use over half the bottle to get that result is not good, so there isnt much coverage
rose tryon honestly u don’t have to use half the bottle if applied correctly
She also didn’t use it with youniques makeup brush. The brush in her hand might be absorbing too much. I watched several videos where they only use 7 drops for the whole face.
MauveMotive you’re saying 7 drops like that’s a good thing
I love how honest you are! I don't even wear make up, I just love watching people put it on, but yeah I really do admire your honesty! xx
I'm a Younique Rep and I must say I love your honesty!! Absolutely love your review. I came across your page looking for the Younique Mascara Reviews and ended up watching all of yours. Sorry to hear about the Younique issue you had earlier. Keep it up!
I didn't like it as it's thick, oily and cakey and so easily transferable to clothes, your hands etc. It also gets disgustingly thicker the longer you have it. I had 2 bottles and both were gross after 2 and a half months. The 3D eyelashes get the same way but they dry out. will never buy their products again. Expensive for something that doesn't have a good shelf life. I paid 40 for the foundation and 35 for the lashes here in Canada. The hype wasn't worth it. I feel pretty silly for even jumping on that wagon. Not going to happen a second time.
THICK? It's the thinnest foundation, i've ever seen! I ran down the bottom of my brush.
Laughs*...doubt it.
mine as well is a lot thinner than shown in this video. I'm not fond of it lol
It’s horrendous stuff it separates in the bottle after a week or so as it’s FULL of oil! It cakes, separates, transfers and sits like oily silicon in the skin...also just wait a few days after use for the mega breakout! I’m an ex presenter and I walked away from all the BS sales patter and BS products. I can uplift myself and others much more effectively without pushing bad quality products onto people and masking it as empowerment.
If you used a sponge instead it would be better.
The representative I bought through isn't pushy thank god! She's very sweet and she's that nice balance between maintaining her page by advertising products but not over the top. Like she only posts to like inform us about when products are in stock and sometimes share reviews but not going too far
Not impressed with how many drops you had to do to get that coverage when in their videos they say 4-5 drops will cover your whole face WITH eyeliner all over it.
Not a fan of having to use that much product 👎🏻
Samantha Lawrence with all my foundations i had to use 6 drops so wth.
I have this foundation and I genuinely get the same coverage with 4-5 drops! I dot it all over my face and blend it out. I Think she put WAY to much on hence the reason it went patchy
holy crap! your eye colour is insanely beautiful!!! and its nice that you're so honest about your reviews. its hard to believe most of the reviews for the younique products.
So happy to see so many great comments. Especially from Younique reps!! Shannon, you are so professional and such an amazing business woman. You are absolutely justified in everything you said and handled this beautifully. Love your products, your content, your videos, your business savvy, your beauty inside and out. Happiest of New Years to you and Hamish and your pups!!! Cheers! 💛💛
I absolutely HATE Younique, EVERYTHING about them. I will NEVER EVER buy ANYTHING from them ever again. Plus for $39 (USD) plus $5+ shipping, I MUCH rather buy Born This way, KVD Lock It or MUFE Ultra HD from Sephora. I get free Flash Shipping from Sephora so for basically $45 from Younique I can buy a high end foundation from Sephora.
I jusst became a presenter today and I'm glad I watched this and read the comments. Now I understand how important it is to know when to stop, and I don't think I'll be so pushy!
No,I think their stuff is over priced and didn't work that well ...imo
i love how honest you are about the product even if they have been a bit agressive with their promotion at first. and i even like how the foundation looks on you pretty much
I am so sorry this happened to you! I wouldn't ever want to support someone who jumps the gun and twists your words! You are beautiful, inspiring and lovable! Definitely one of my favorite RUclipsrs!!!
YOU GOOO, SHAN! What they did is a total absurd. I'm glad you exposed this. I hope the brand opens its eyes and realise what a shitty image they're giving. If they don't want you to review them negatively, maybe they should stop doing crap.
Most Younique presenters make me irate. I actually wanted to try their eyeshadow and new bronzing products, but after being cold messaged, guilted, insultrd and harassed by so many presenters i've decided it is not worth it.
Officially the company "discourages" these behaviors, but from what i hear, from former presenters, in the groups they join they discuss how to use these tactics better and be sneakier.
The only MLM I will purchase from is Posh, but that's because they don't harass me, i have to seek them out and i'm a face care whore, even though i shouldn't be buying anymore face masks. lol
hello, I'm new as a presenter!! I've seen a lot since I joined. I am not saying we are all the same either. I love what I do and never come on pushy. I am so sorry that happens to you. I will talk to my mentor and see what I can do for you. contact me www.youniqueproducts.com/Aliciakellam907/party/5530555/view
Alexia Chavez and Alicia kellam you both are snakes for posting your link in her video... being another pushy representative... very rude. some people just didn't learn. did you not even watch her video. and if you did, you actually still feel comfortable posting on her website. if people want to buy this foundation they can find the link in her description box. your Rude and Just proved everything she said in her video... so crazy wow...
Oh My Goodness...I'm sorry but "never come on pushy.....contact me" with a link to buy your products!!! Wow!
Also not impressed it's only 20ml and costs £30 rather buy ysl!
Honesty is so important. I trust your recommendations because you are honest. I'm sorry for all the crap you're dealing with because of this but your subscribers will always support you :)
Probably like 5 seconds into the video and already loving it.. your makeup is truly flawless!
I tried this and absolutely hated it. I made a post about how much I actually disliked it. A couple of Younique reps contacted me and were basically making suggestions/making me feel like I didn't know how to use it; I tried it multiple ways and it just wasn't working for me. I really wanted to like it, but it just was not right for me. It got stuck on my pimples that were dry, and it didn't cover the redness of my acne. Certainly was not able to be layered for coverage either. I was so disappointed.
Desiree Dehner I can't believe some reps contacted you! That is SO thirsty and out of line.
i'm a younique presenter but i still absolutely love you. i've always followed you for your awesome tutorials and your honesty. i understand that younique is not everyone's cup of tea,but i have alot of customers who love it, so i'm fine with that. i take this vid as constructive criticism, so i can better explain to my customers the pros and cons when trying our products. i joined younique for extra income while i'm a stay at home mum, but i'm not pushy for sales as i too hate being forced into buying something. thanx again for your honesty and i'm so sorry for your bad experience. keep doing what you're doing and i'll always follow you 😙😙😙
now to bloody watch your eye makeup tutorial. ♡♡♡ this look
Love this comment!
I think it's sad you feel the need to include a disclaimer about haters from the brand. Kind of shows what type of people generally work for them. Those are unethical business practices and they cannot use your image without your permission.
Everyone will always have something negative to say even if you're trying to be honest and it's sad but I deeply admire your truth and it makes me trust in your channel so thank you for being real!😊❤️
What they've done is illegal. It's slander to say that someone has said something they haven't and also they have posted the photo without your approval. I'm sorry you went through this frustrating time but thankyou for explaining as it as I now believe that you are a 1000% trustworthy and honest person. Not that I didn't think that before cause I did but now I believe it evermore 💕xx
Well said, so glad I am a FORMER orange-presenter... the spammy behavior was too much.
That's so messed up on what they did 😑
The fact that they stole your picture and posted it without your consent, and put words into your mouth is enough for me to avoid the brand!
I'm so glad to finally see someone who isn't a sales-rep for Younique do a review on this foundation because I honestly have been wanting to try it from all the hype I've heard about it. If you have the powder foundation I would like to see a review on that one to so I can get an honest review :)!
Noone should hate on you ..... you are giving your honest review and there is nothing wrong with that when I do my lives I always say just because I like something and it works for me does not mean u will like it and it may not work for you and so forth I am thankful we do have the 14 day love it guarantee I always stay honest
