60 yr old woman here, with absolutely no interest in make-up, but I'm being hypnotised by the most soothing voice ever.

“I’m very soothing, so I was able to calm myself down.” The sovereign has returned 🙌🏾

I'm chronically ill and I have to say that in this world of toxic positivity listening to John complaining about cold sores like the worst of the tragedies is so refreshing and very much welcome.

I love how seriously he says the brush names and numbers like it’s a weapon

In all seriousness, there is something special with John's videos and I think it's because he has a perfect blend of being outrageously funny, talented, a thorough teacher AND relaxing. That's an insane combo, really, and it makes all his videos an absolute delight.

When John says, "seamless" my soul leaves my body, goes for a luxury spa weekend then floats back.

I literally laughed out loud when John announced that he was going to summon the kraken over a cold sore but he managed to soothe himself. 🤣

The comments you see under Johns content are just epic. Everyone's bringing out their $4 words and essay grammar lol He inspires the inner intellectual, inner artist, and inner weirdo of his viewers :) it's so good!

i've missed John's films so much that i don't even care what he's talking about today. i mean, i find his content to be both informative and entertaining, but at this moment, i'm to happy to care. :)

“Touch wood, Georgian Mahogany…Cuban Of Course” Such a fabulous human being.I live and I do adore this gentleman.

John is the Bob Ross of makeup. Not only is it magical art but SO SOOTHING to just listen to

I've missed you!! You seem a little different personality-wise than in previous videos. More playful maybe? I can't put my finger on it, but I like it and you seem happy. So happy so see a new video. And you always give the BEST tips and tricks and techniques.

John’s voice feels like smooth black velvet in my ears. We need a Bedtime ASMR video where he is sitting in an armchair-in front of a fireplace and reads us classic fairytale story books. 😴🖤

This filum has proved to be substantially beneficial to my glum and melancholy day. I have nothing but great admiration and fondness for John’s seamlessness in both character and natural ability in producing said filums.

This is the first time I’ve seen a video from you, but today my whole home town is burning and we may loose my childhood home again to flames for the second time in four years. Watching your video has taken my mind off of this horrific tragedy for 36 minutes and I am incredibly grateful.

The "touch wood" bit got me cackling like a witch, I just wasn't expecting it. So happy you're back and can't wait to see more! I'm trying to guess the foundation but honestly there has been so many new releases I lose track lol.

John's humor is what I imagine the things the queen would laugh to while having tea. No snort laughing allowed because we're that classy.

Why does John always look and feel like a Victorian Time Traveller... So opulent and so refined... It's honestly so different than anyone who does KZfaq Tutorials!

‘A voyage to the necessarium’ is possibly my favourite quote ever.

Ah how I missed you! KZfaq has felt empty without you. No one actually does explanatory tutorials anymore. I love that you will always explain in detail everything. You always make me giggle a few and my days can go from bad to good in a moment’s notice if you upload.

John is just so prestige, calming, and majestic. It’s like watching an aristocratic vampire gracing us with their presence. There is no way this is a human.

I just "found" John and have spent the better part of an afternoon watching this amazing spirit speak to us and show us quite distinctly what a thoroughly evolved human being is. A pleasure on so many levels!

Summon the kraken! Omg I love him so much! He is so genuine so often but also so funny at moments. I just love him! The beautiful work he does is truly an art and so amazing to watch. Thank you John for sharing so much of yourself with us all. And listening to your voice is so relaxing.

I don’t know how John manages to be so poised and yet a goofball all at once. Chapeau!

“I thought I would have a chat with myself, and I am very soothing, so I was able to calm myself down”… John even works magic on John 💗

I haven't watched John in a while, glad to see he still has that crazed ravenous look in his eyes while he speaks softly of blending and seamlessness. perfection 💖

I’m living for all the funny storytelling in this 😂 John McLean is so good with all his sound effects 😂

Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how funny John is? He has an impeccable sense of humor!

“I’m quite soothing so I was able to calm myself down”… 😁 YOUVE BEEN MISSED Sir Maclean!!!

His cheekbones are gorgeous. He's speaking and I'm listening, but those cheekbones- oh my!

"a good, hedonistic layer", that's a phrase that will live rent free in my head for the next three days

This new filum is the gift this 2021 needed. The story-telling skills, the soothing makeup routine, the sound effects... Amazing, show-stopping, incredible, one of a kind.

I love how you can be so formal and then exhibit flashes of silliness. It makes everything more fun. Thank you.

I swear I could be in the worst mood ever and I’ll hop on KZfaq and come to this channel and feel better instantly. I love this guy so much, I’ve been watching his videos for years on end, always puts a huge smile on my face when I see that he’s released another video. I swear I would pay to just listen to his voice all day everyday. Sending much love to you John ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I had massive cold sores around the same time and the exact same locations as John and seeing that being mentioned made me fee much better about it. Cold sores can be so disheartening.

I don’t even wear makeup.. watching John’s videos is relaxing therapy.

I could listen to John talk about their cold sores ALL YEAR LONG. You are, indeed, quite soothing, John.

I am fair skinned and always pay close attention to your advice, your tips are always so unique. You also have an ASMR voice embedded with humor and I love it!

I loved the goofiness of this video! John is more of a "serious" joker but it's a lot looser here!

“I get nightmares about having 5 o’clock shadow - croc footwear also give me nightmares.” I love how John says the funniest tidbits with a straight face!

Yay it's 4am on Christmas Eve and I see we all just had our first Christmas present of the season! ♡

So much more than just a makeup tutorial, this is a masterclass in art x

I think it’s so amazing how John uses the most minimal amount of pigment for the makeup, it creates ART. The look comes out phenomenal, you wonder how it was achieved, even after watching it form before your very eyes. God I wish I was this good at makeup. So soothing, so relaxing, so informative.

“Crocs footwear also gives me nightmares” 😝 so true! I keep pausing this tutorial because I just don’t want this fillum to end, missed you so very much John! 🖤

The GORGEOUS, the REFINED, the ROYAL AIRE of John is BACK! Oh this is such a fantastic Christmas gift! 🎁

John could be telling me that he just ran over my pet and I would be too focused on how beautiful his face and voice are to notice.

to be honest, I only watch John's video because of his voice. I mean it's very informative make up wise but really, it's because of his voice.

It's refreshing to see makeup applied thoughtfully and meticulously, and not just slapped on in bucket loads and blended out like crazy

I usually tend to skip a good bit of videos, but John is something else, his voice and mannerism of the way he talks is almost hypnotizing, so refreshing to my brain I love it

Touch wood! Georgian mahogany. Cuban of course. I love this so much!!!!

Dear John, I think at least half of the views under this film are from me. I watch your videos to help me fall asleep since I suffer from insomnia and ptsd- your voice is so soothing and relaxing. Thank you

“Uninvited guests”! Love it. And the finger comment! John is effortlessly hilarious. And I’ll eat my hat if that’s not Lisa Eldridge foundation!!!

You’ll never convince me otherwise that John is gone for such large tracks of time because he’s actually exploring the boundaries of time and space. Takes a lot out of one to be time hopping. Edited to update the pronoun! I didn’t want to assume because I wasn’t sure and didn’t want to offend so figured they was a safer route! But after some digging it turns out his (jokingly) preferred pronoun is “Your Grace” from an old tweet. 🙃😂

"croc footwear also gives me nightmares" 😂😂😂 that had me laughing. Your voice is so soothing I could listen to you talk about anything

Ahem... John, sir... It's two months now. and the foundation is.......? I enjoy your work. Your comic timing is priceless. I hope this finds you well.

John’s humor has enhanced tenfold and I absolutely love every minute of it ✨

And when the world needed Him the most, He appeared to ease our darkest days. Thank you, Lord Maclean, we missed your presence dearly.

For a long time, an makeup tutorial that actually inspires me! I really like this slow-paced uploading schedule. I always feel bad for those who try to update reqularry. Forcing creative work to schedules can not make good for you.

Dear heart, have you ever considered releasing a blooper-reel of sorts? All in good fun and entertainment, of course! I know your primary focus is makeup films, but I think that there may be an audience for some of the more silly cuts from each film. Lots of love! 🥰

"A good, hedonistic layer" is what we all need in our lives.

I’m having the absolute worst month and this video was like a balm to my soul. Thank you, John!!!

I love how you're explaining blending, setting powder, and other techniques so thoroughly. This is a great introductory video and my goodness, I'm entranced by your humor!

“Slap it on and hope for the best” 😂 literally what I think everytime I apply makeup 😂

HIS MAJESTY IS BACK edit: John your sense of humour is a BLESSING

Suddenly remembered you today. Even though im so sleepy right i spent 30 minutes scrolling through the channels i subscribed to over the yeaes just to find your channel. I missed seeing your vids and im so happy i found you again

I didn’t know I needed to hear the word “besieged” in a makeup tutorial until just now. ETA: also good to see you making videos again :) I was just thinking of you and boom here you are.

I feel like the joy I felt when I heard you say “filum this filum” was undeserved but I’m grateful for it none the less. Thank you

THE SEAMLESSNESS. So iconic, so gorgeous. Love seeing you with and without makeup. ❤

I've been here since you had 35,000 subs so coming back and seeing how well you're doing has made me soooooo happy!!! Best makeup artist on KZfaq!!

John is so classy, elegant, and refined! I’ve missed your content so much. You explain how to do makeup very well

"I am just using my classic application technique of applying foundation: slap it on and hope for the best." Oh how I missed you and your clever remarks. Glad you're back!

I am absolutely ecstatic to finally see John filming again. His soothing voice and informative manner is the best combination to get my attention to everything he says and he never fails 🖤

I love the amount of detail in the instructions that you give us. Even the best way to use and hold a brush. A lot of people don't mention little things like that and many skip through the entire application process so we don't get to see the creation happening slowly. Makes it harder for inexperienced people like me to follow them. You do a great job explaining and showing each little step. Thank you !

You popped up in my recommendations and although I'm too lazy to spend that much time on makeup, I couldn't help but click on the video because the thumbnail was gorgeous. Now after spending 30 minutes watching this video instead of cooking lunch I will follow the lead of those before me and say that this might be the most soothing voice on KZfaq. If you ever decide to make an audiobook, I'll be the first one in line to buy it.

I'm not even a make-up enthusiast; I'm a total wildling. I leave my eyebrows completely untouched, I use concealer to hide only the biggest pimples and to my eyeliner is just that black thing I slather on for death metal gigs. Yet I look at John like Gimli looks at Galadriel, totally spellbound. He truly is THE man.

I love the seamlessness of this video being uploaded like a Christmas gift.

I love your humor so much xd i am glad you are back and i am now back to addictive watching lmao

I’ve missed the calming energy John exudes.

Hi from Colorado. I literally pulled into a Target 🎯 parking lot just to watch Lord McLean. Your voice is a balm to my soul. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Not only have I waited 7 months for a new filum, I waited 14 minutes to get my "seamlessness" fix! Lol! Thanks for uploading another one of your great filums John! Also, thank you for the little jokes here and there. It really put a smile on my face and I appreciate them. 🥰

Having John back is the holiday gift we all needed. Happy New Year John, you are adored! Love from Canada xo

What a thrill it is to see you posting again. You are one of my favourite people and it’s even more endearing knowing you’re of my own ilk. Scottish as they come! So lovely to see you John you have been sorely missed ♥️♥️♥️

The story of the donkey and the horse had me cackling. A comedy legend! A true raconteur!

I love how we spend around 5 mins+ talking about lash curlers and I’m okay with that! So soothing and relaxing. ❤️

Hello John . I’m not sure if you will see this but I just wanted to tell you how much your films have helped me. I have BPD and aspergers and my life gets very overwhelming. I replay all your films constantly because you bring such peace to my soul. When I’m feeling overwhelmed or sad..I open KZfaq and put you on and can feel myself calming down. I also have very pale skin and have really struggled to accept it but seeing how stunning and beautiful you look and how you embrace it, helps me to accept my own a little everyday. I hope you know how valued your space here on KZfaq is. Lots of love X 🖤

'Subscription is optional' is my favorite parts! If I weren't already subscribed that would have clinched it for me. This is one of my favorite channels it's relaxing , humorous, informative, and interesting. Face and voice are both beautiful.

I hope you know how much you've truly been missed John! You bring such a soft, delicate, sophisticated, intelligent and refined elegance. And do so in such a lovely way, with a soft voice and fun witty sense of humor. Not taking yourself too seriously as if you don't know what a beautiful and divine human being you are. Your energy is magical. Thank you so much for posting. I'm sure I'm not the only one that needed a dose of your energy 😊❤

I saw on Instagram he had posted a new "filum" and I almost broke a leg running to my biggest TV to watch his new video after so long! John deserves to be seen in 4K with surround sound!

He makes me feel like a peasant watching him but I love him 😍!

This was the best way to start my new year. I’ve missed you, John. Your voice is everything. If this is the only film we get this year it will be enough. Hope you are well 💕

John using a Wayne Goss brush, is everything. Legends mentioning legends.❤️

AHHHH IM SO GLAD JOHN IS BACK! Not even 5 mins in and I’m already laughing my ass off 😂

We need so much more of you John, and it needn’t always be a tutorial. ❤️

Applying lipstick before the liner is an idea I’ll immediately integrate into my routine - thank you. Btw, that 1 rogue lash hair!! xx

My utmost excitement when I saw John Maclean’s new fillum, I wanted to scream but I don’t want to use too much face muscle to avoid aging fast so I took a deep breath, and moved my lips ever so slightly to resemble a small smile.

As a similarly translucent person, I find that blanking out my eyelids first really helps my looks appear more seamless, so that the color of my veins does not make it appear that my shadow is not properly blended.

The Bob Ross of makeup. Both have a relaxing voice and the way they both explain things.

I really love john’s films. They teach me which tools are best, which products are best, and even the amount of pressure I must use when applying the techniques. Thank you for this. I have watched this countless times already and continue to learn more. 😊

The Neutrogena Light Therapy Pen is absolutely brilliant for treating cold sores. The packaging says it is designed for acne but my partner suffers terribly with cold sores and this works brilliantly for preventing and treating them. He uses it several times a day when he gets the tingly feeling and now they don’t ever get to the big, angry stage and disappear quickly. Hope this helps someone! 🙂

My daughter is just getting into makeup, as her grandmother bought her some of the sailor moon collection, and she is exploring and I feel this video will be absolutely instrumental in helping guide her when she wants to experiment on her own. You are, honestly, the only beauty youtuber I would have her watch.
