Dear Wayne, I subscribe to your channel and have a notice that lets me know when you have posted something new. I have been trying to find the words to explain to my husband why I have all of the makeup, nails, and facial products and how you explained it is exactly how I feel!!! I have been working since I was 15 years old. I had to retire in 2006 due to health reasons. But I have always been into makeup and facials, so I have decided to go back to college to become a Professional Makeup Artist, Nail Artist and Esthetician. But I'm scared I'm to old to start a career that is dominated by 20 something year olds. I just turned 49, but look like I'm 33 and act like I'm 17. But, my fears are still real. I just wanted to say thank you for your honesty. Now I know how to explain my desire for all these products in a way he'll understand!! Thanks for sharing! love you, Tina, SC

Growing up, 1 of 6 children, with an illiterate mother and a chronically ill father (who died when I was 17), I can totally relate to this. I remember thinking, as a child, all that I wanted was a home with a library, and pretty, sparkling- girly-girl make-up. And I can remember being too sick with hunger to eat, dreaming of the food I would stock pile so I would never be hungry again. I am by no means rich, but, i do have a 2 bedroom condo, decorated and furnished with more than I truly need. My pantry is full. One of my bedrooms is a library, lined with 3 walls of beautiful wooden bookcases, a leather recliner, and a table and lamp. While I do have paperback books, I must say, stroking the spines of the leather-bound and hardbacks takes me to a place so deep in my soul that it cannot be expressed in words. It is a dream and a promised fulfilled. It is satisfaction after a hard day of work, and it is the reward for sacrifices made. And in my proper bedroom, I have my dream vanity, complete with lotions, potions, creams and powders. I have E.L.F. and Covergirl, MAC and Too-faced, as well as Tom Ford and Dior. I wear it all. I would be lying if I said that putting on my "Lips & Boys" in Alex, doesn't do a little more for my confidence than putting on E.L.F.'s Touch of Blush. It doesn't make a a better person, but it soothes the 15 year old inside who once used blush and Vaseline to make lip gloss. Because THAT was all I had. Well,... not anymore. I haven't changed, but, I have evolved. I worked HARD for what I have, and I work hard for what I want. But, at it the end of the day, when I sit in my recliner, I know that it was my money, my blood sweat and tears, and I will spend that money in any way that *I* see fit. Your story made me cry, but, it also makes me grateful that when my 75 year old mother wants new shoes, I have the means and ability to give her that and so much more. She raised 5 other children who would RUSH to do the same.

What made it even more important to me to have them, was my pride in you. I've been following you from the day of the video you made in response to the goddess @LanaIndiana ... owning a set of your brushes makes me feel that I was a part of your journey to your successes. I've always felt and feel, you are a humble, warm hearted, sensitive person & handsome gentleman. Your professional attitude toward your passion & generous sharing of your knowledge & skill, only add to your quiet 'Gary Cooper' energy in your videos.

I feel for you and amazing mom. When I was younger my mom, who was a single mom, raised my sister and I with very little help and support from our father. She worked so hard, some times working two jobs, in order to pay the bills and other stuff like food, what clothing we could afford. And in the end a couple years ago our finical situation got better. But last year my mom got injured at work due to the strain she had put on her body from the type of work she does and has always does. Now she is unable to work trying to figure out how to live again off a low income, trying to support my sister and I who are begin our adult lives. But you know what in the end I know it's going to get better for us. ❤️👊🏻 Btw such an inspirational video that we can all tell comes from the heart. Love you Wayne. Keep doing what you do you!

Hey Wayne, the irony is that most people born into privilege and wealth who don't have to struggle and don't have to work their guts out also tend not to develop strong, ethical, empathic and compassionate personalities either. That's a sweeping statement and of course there are many exceptions, but as a general tendency struggle and going without tends to develop incredible character. You have nothing to explain or apologise for, you deserve everything you have - you didn't inherit it or have it handed to you and thus you have no sense of entitlement or superiority (unfortunately many born into it do). As a single mum myself I have tried so hard to imbue in my son a sense of gratitude for every advantage we do have; and a sense of perspective, that it could be so much worse - we're so lucky to be born into a first world country without constant wars and famines etc. He is a kind and caring kid. If he turns out to be half the man you are I will be so so SO proud!!

I understand your comment, but be careful generalizing any group! I grew up very privileged and my parents still taught me gratitude, strong morals & ethics, compassion, strong work ethic....and all my privileged friends were raised the same way. Just because someone is raised with money does not mean they don't face other tragedies and struggles in life. You don't know what life is like for anyone, rich or poor, until you walk in their shoes. You generalizing rich people in this sweeping manner is no different then me generalizing poor people in a sweeping manner. Every single human being has a story & a background that has helped define who they are, regardless of income.

Oh Wayne this touched me in a very inspiring way, conversely I had a dream of being a reporter first radio then TV. I started getting jobs before I even graduated College. News Directors sought me out, I was blessed with talent and also an only child, but I had too much. I was handed jobs, then I became "stupid." I left TV for what I thought was better a second chance at a marriage basically in order to raise my twin girls. I left something what God handed to me on a silver platter. After a second failed marriage and not giving my children what "they"needed , but left for what "I needed." I lived in regret for years. On my way to National news I threw it all away........Now at 50 something , too old for TV, I am now in a place you were as a child. I admire you and you have given me hope. I struggle to work, My girls now 25 thankfully are married , happy and learned from my mistakes: THANK GOD! I now want success in any field so that I may help my grown children and their future families and your words have inspired me to stop living in regret but to work harder , be more thankful with nothing ........

i grew up in a similar way and now that I'm successful in my career (after working hard to get here) I realized I wanted to get my hands on the things I never got growing up. I think its part of life to want to have bigger and better things when you didnt have them growing up. At the end of the day, i appreciate a review of a high end make up that im debating if i want to invest on bcuz it cost more. With drugstore its more like you can afford to make errors kuz even if ur not rich u can almost always return the product. I love ur chanel and watch u from L.A. Please dont let anyone make u feel bad for wanting to try better things. Even if they arent better, its ur money ur business. Love ya!

Wayne, you are an amazing person. You should be proud of how hard you have worked and you deserve so much happiness and success. If you have changed at all, it has only been for the better. I have learned so much from you and I trust your intention and opinions. I have no doubt that you are a good person through and through. I understand what you were saying, as I was a single parent for 9 years until my now husband came into our lives and life got better for myself and my daughter. I struggled and went through some pretty hard times back then, so I get it. I choose not to feel guilty or embarrassed about some of the things I now have because i have also worked hard to get where i am today. You have nothing to feel bad about, as you have done nothing wrong. So what if you enjoy and have high end products? As you said, you worked hard and paid for those products. Make up is your passion and it is your artistry, which you are pretty freaking fantastic at!! Keep your chin up! And thank you for all you do.

Thanks so much for sharing! You have succeeded because of your passion and because of your big heart in sharing what you know about make-up with the rest of us. I really believe in the law of the harvest and in paying it forward, which you do. You make it possible for us, the common folk, to look the best that we can look. I too, like so many, was not dealt the best hand of cards, but I played them to the best of my ability. Worked my way through college, was a single Mom and lived week to week, could have filed bankruptcy but instead paid off all of my debt. But I was never bitter or envious of others. I tell the rest of you, "you can do it". I am happily remarried, doing well, and I thank God for my hungry years. I learned so much! I know who my real friends are, I know what matters in life, I know the value of money and I know how to have fun on very little money. Money is not the root of all evil, it is THE LOVE OF MONEY that is the root of all evil. Thanks to YOU.

Wayne thank you for sharing. I grew up with old New England money and had a platinum spoon in my mouth until I married someone unapproved and left home at 23 to get away from a verbally abusive mother and an absolutely wonderful father whom I adored and my mother married into his money. For decades I have been living on my social security disability income and working to supplement it until 6 years ago when I could no longer work. So here I sit making $934 a month which in America with the cost of food and everything else is a joke. I receive food benefits so my vegan shopping is limited to exactly $154 and no more. But you see everything was given to me until I was 23 and that was my mother's way of saying she loved me. So as an adult money and things meant nothing to me and people meant everything! I would have given back everything I got in my lifetime for just one I'm proud of you or good job. I danced with the Boston Ballet and went to medical school I excel at everything I tried and it didn't work. So now and for the last 30 years people are everything and things can always be replaced or purchased another time. I was adopted at Birth and my mother treated her biological son my brother exactly the same as she treated me so there was no difference because I was adopted. I would have taken you a life over mine in a New York Minute. I'm so glad Wayne that you had drive and you finally made it! :-)

You are an amazing person!!!! I too know the difficulties of growing up poor. It's not fun. Although my story is very similar, it's a story of poverty, drugs, bad sexual behavior, and mental abuse. I too knew I was meant for a better life. At 15, living with my sisters older friends, out of a hefty garbage bag, I felt so hopeless. I refused to go on like that. I always worked, got a police ID, so I could work in a greasy spoon restaurant. I continued with other jobs here and there. One day I decided to be a nail technician. Back then you didn't need a licience. Thirty two years later, I still do nails along with designing my own beaded jewelry, doing shows and loving it!!!!!! I'm happily married now for 25 years to the kindness man ever. Just like you said, YOU CAN DO IT!!!! I also LOVE MAKEUP!!!! I designed my own beauty room, LOL, and have WAY TO MUCH MAKEUP!!! I loved your story, it brought tears to my eyes just as you started. You are amazing!!!!!

I've loosely followed you on your other channel for a while now, and not even sure how I came across this video whilst I was looking for something to play in the background whilst I did some housework. However, I think this is my favourite video of yours that I've ever watched. I understand what you are saying about your childhood, I've been there too, and as a consequence I've strived to have a different life as an adult and for my children to not have to experience things like not being able to afford heating and being constantly cold, or eating beans day after day after day because they were cheap and nutritional (I can't stand baked beans now funnily!). Thing is though, you don't have to explain yourself to anyone, especially not little keyboard warriors. If you buy high end, then so what? I remember the first time I bought a high end foundation and ironically it too was Bobbi Brown. It wasn't great, and it was only a couple of years ago, but it was symbolic. It stood for the fact I've worked hard and remained positive and kept a vision in mind, and hit a point where I could treat myself to something materialistic knowing that my kids weren't going without. Well done to you Wayne, you deserve every success for your authenticity and your dedication to making sure that you and your mum don't have to return to that life that you experienced when you are younger. Much love to you xx

Wayne I have been that mom on the bed. I have five children. My older three are 23,21, and 19. My youngest two are 5 & 4. When I left my youngest two's dad we had nothing except my beauty salon I have worked on for the last ten years. When I was married and had his income to help support the bills it was enough. When I decided I would not tolerate his abuse and cheating anymore he cut off all financial support for the children. I have been doing what I can through the courts to track him down but ultimately financially it has all been up to me. Things have been rough! But, I am like you. I will never give up. Never. I work my ass off to ensure the kids have a home, they go to the daycare where they are happy, they have nice things. And like you that little beauty business is mine. No one can take it from me. It is up to me to make or break it. I too am rambling on a bit. Makeup in the beginning when things were so bad was the only nice thing I did for myself. Like you I love high end products. Through hard work things are getting better now. I will not give up. Thanks for your video it was the boost I needed as I was feeling a little down and tired this week. And by the way....your mum sounds awesome.

Awesome. Thank you for sharing that story. So many of us have that same story. Something similar happened to me when I was about 10. I was raised by my grandparents, and we were on our way to lunch. My Gramps was walking funny, so I asked why. They wouldn't answer me. So when Gram and I got in the car to go home, she explained that his heels were worn and we didn't have the money for new ones. He worked in a high end men's store and was expected to wear high end clothing. That's how I found out that we didn't have money. After that, they were a bit more open about it. Yes, my Gram's night job was in a bank, but she was scrubbing toilets and cleaning people's desks. Learning that changes you. I bought my first beauty salon at 19. Of course I needed a loan, but my Grams day job was running her salon. So by 16, I had a very good idea of how to run a business. She didn't want me to struggle in life. I kept going with more salons and day spas. I got my stock market licence and started working for a big firm along with my salons. Anyway... point is, you can do it. When my grandparents were older, I was in a position to help them. It's not easy, but it can be done. Thanks again 💙

I think you've changed, your camera and lighting are better, you seem more comfortable in front of the camera, your audio is better. But your passion and technique are still so helpful. No one on KZitem does videos as helpful and step by step as you and I refer my daughter to watching you because she's young and loves natural makeup.

Bobbi Brown was the first high end products I purchased as well 😊 (does it even qualify as high end?) I remember the looks from sales people in the store, judging me as if I were just some lesser person wasting their time with swatches and color matching- UNTIL I actually got my wallet out and bought the whole set with money I've made at my first real job.

Stay true to yourself, so many people love you for just being you! You do your mom very proud, that's a southern expression. I grew up very poor and there is a drive for most of us who experienced that to never go back, to never be helpless or unable to help the ones we love. Especially our parents, after watching them struggle with poverty. It is wonderful to stand on your own two feet, being filthy rich was never my goal, being independent, working hard to be in control of my own means was and is. Rich wouldn't hurt but not at the cost of my personal & professional integrity. I'm not into that kind of filthy, but I love yours, lol, your funny filthy mind & sometimes potty mouth! Don't change, love you just as you are, O&X's from this southern girl

God yes I can already visualize rows of rows of those nude eyeshadows... I am looking forward to that day, because I know it will happen. Oh, and all nude lippies! For all different skintones! with only minute differences in shade. Opaque ones, Sheer ones, shimmering, glossy, matt, even the now so trendy metallics -and nobody would ever have to look hard for their perfect nude shade ever again. Please Wayne, make this happen! (Please don't put any soy or mineral oil/paraffin/petroleum/vaselin in them. I am allergic, and I couldn't bear the thought of you finally launching your own stuff only to realize I can't use any of it... hahaha) I love your videos; you always seem like such a down-to-earth, honest and all around nice person.

The RIGHT shade of your own perfect Nude can work WONDERS!! I had ONLY a med/deep shade of Nude on and was being complimented all day on how pretty I looked. I said, I don't have any makeup on! and they said, Yeah, sure you do... you have really nice color in your face and....they looked confused when they looked at me. I said it is just a pretty nude lipstick! Nothing else! They said, WOW! The right one makes it look like you have blush on and all! There is nothing like a beautiful, your lips but better , nude!

I'm just awakening on our Independence Day, July 4th in San Francisco, California, and the first thing I saw on KZitem was your story, so I listened. It is truly one of independence, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. If it hadn't been for you following your heart, I may have never left my house. I sought out a solution to cover my badly wounded skin with good foundation, and here you were! Your desire to beautify through makeup has allowed me to be a stunning-looking 63 year old woman. If I had a child, I'd be proud to have a son as open hearted, articulate, creative, caring, gentle, smart, passionate, and kind as you...and easy on the eyes. 😍 I could say so much more about how I appreciate you, but most of it has already been said here. Thank you, also, for allowing us into your conscience. By responding to a viewer's comment, you let us all know we are heard and make a difference to you. 💓🎊🎆

I totally relate to you, Wayne. Like you, I had a background that was a money-free zone. I also had a very turbulent life; early deaths of family members; severe mental illness of a sibling; lots of horrible things. But all through it, I always loved the idea of lovely things. I always aspired to great quality beautiful stuff; & anytime I managed to buy something fabulous (with my own hard-earned cash), I felt good. It's bloody hard being poor, but we can never let it stop us dreaming. To quote Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.".

Dearest Wayne, thank you so much for sharing your story. I too, remember walking in on my mother who was crying at the dining room table with bills scattered all over trying to figure out how she was going to pay them. In many ways it reminded me to not only appreciate money, but to respect it and in doing so, not suggesting to others how they should spend theirs. Please know that you are blessed beyond measure. You found a passion which has turned into a fulfilling and successful career. So many of us cannot say that, regardless of our income. I've watched your channel for several years and while I cannot afford some of the products used, I always paid attention to what you were teaching. The core of who you are hasn't changed, but other things probably have. And why not? People should continue growing and evolving as they navigate through life. Muhammad Ali said, "A man who views life at 50 the same way they did when they were 20, has wasted 30 years." So, keep doing you and I'll keep watching. Hugs, Monica, DC

Yes! All of it yes! Everything that you do, do it for YOU. There is nothing wrong with appreciating the finer things (high end makeup, luxury cars, expensive dinning, etc). As a society we have fallen into the idea that being poor means honesty, simplicity, like its almost virtuous. While being rich or having more money in your pocket makes you prideful or dishonest. When it's not like that. Both poor or rich have an ethical responsibility, you choose which one it is. There is nothing wrong with money, it's what you do with it that could be wrong. Way to go Wayne, you are an inspiration.

Please know how much you inspire all of us! Your story is quite relatable to me because I have worked very hard to get where I am and feel that same pride in being able to afford the things that give me joy. When I found you on you tube several years ago, I was in a midlife crisis and had lost myself, was unhappy, and had no outlet of passion or creativity. I have always loved makeup but never knew what I was doing and wasted a lot of money on things that did not work for my skin. Watching you inspired me and with the skills you taught me, I have amassed an amazing collection that includes some of your glorious brushes. It gives me the same joy it gives you and as a result I have lost 75 pounds, I wake up everyday with a confidence in myself that I never had before and I share my new passion with my friends and family. I rarely leave comments but you need to know that what you gave me is priceless!

I was a single mother who worked 2-3 jobs for a LONG time. I DID come from a home that had money. My father made a very good living, but when I became a single mother I CHOSE to own my responsibility to my son and myself by being and becoming a role model for my son. Everyone said, Well, your father can certainly afford to take care of you why don't you just live with him? Why make it so hard on yourself? I said my father had done his job, he raised his children, THIS is my job. But I hustled like you did. I saw jobs that I knew I would be good at and paid well and went up and asked the women exactly how, what and where do I go to get into this work, who do I speak with, the pay, etc. and I went and got it. I ended up making a very good living, buying a nice car every few years, I bought a home and upgraded to a newer one, even was able to buy my son a VW Bus for High School, which he loved. He went to prom in style, enjoyed school dances, football games, field trips and hobbies including golf (& lessons) and even racing motocross. We were able to take camping vacations different places that we enjoyed. I made sure that he grew up with a good work ethic, compassion for others, tolerance & forgiveness, respect for women, kindness, self esteem, confidence and all the things a GOOD MAN needs in life. He is an incredible father and husband and his wife writes me notes thanking me for being his mother. She says, You did all the work and I get all the good stuff! It is a HUGE pet peeve of mine that some women seem to forget that their darling little boy will grow up to be a man and they need to make sure he grows up to be a GOOD man and not some person's NIGHTMARE whether they be male or female! Your mother did the same thing. She loved you and gave and did the very best she could and maybe you didn't have a big bank account, she did the most important thing by raising you to be a loving and very good person and a GOOD MAN! She taught you about hard work and earning your way the RIGHT way and not by robbing banks or some other unsavory occupation! LOL! There is nothing wrong or bad about liking and having nice things and when you work for them and pay for them yourself, it really is no one's damn business and you don't have to apologize or explain why you have them. I do know how lovely those products are because I used to be able to afford them. I married one of those jerks whose mother tells them they walk on water and no one is good enough for them, he didn't let his true self out until AFTER he married me and the challenge was over. He robbed me blind and I lost my home, ended up becoming very ill and was in a very bad car accident so I am not even able to work any longer to build myself back. So I am single by choice but because of not being able to work and having no bank account anymore, I know I would like, as well as other women who are on limited funds, to see if you could come up with an inexpensive dupe that might come as close as possible when you can. I know when I bought the "Born with it " foundation I had to decide between food and foundation....you KNOW what I chose! I don't eat much at all and foundation lasts a long time! But not everyone can or wants to do that and would love to get a similar "look" to what you are showing with something they can actually have. Even if you can ask others you know that have dupes that they have come up with that you find are good and can pass them along I know that would help a lot. As far as the "Nudes" go, I worked in cosmetics for many years and I was at Nordstrom when Bobbie Brown first launched her "line" which consisted of 11 tubes of varying shades of NUDE lipstick. I and most of the women were clamoring asking, "WHEN are MORE items coming and WHAT else is and will be in the line?" and watched it build to the products we love today. (I am secretly trying to save bits to get the Nectar or that Pink/Rosy colored Shimmer Brick! The Nectar is beautiful!) Nudes will ALWAYS be the most used, most versatile and most wanted shades! Not EVERY woman wants red, orange, purple, teal or other colors, Nudes are always a beautiful classic and the more versatile shades the better!
