A makeup artist, Kandee does talk trough her makeup videos, but her comments about the makeup looks are actually quite helpful.
For example, in her Megan Fox Makeup Video, she discusses the fact that her lips are not quite as full as the actress, but then shares how she goes about plumping them up. This is quite helpful information to those that may also need help in making their lips appear fuller.
