This shit is why people come to Sephora needing a therapy session. I get clients who walk in with kind eyes, warm laughs, and all sorts of great features begging to be "fixed", claiming up and down that there are a million things wrong with them. Makeup should be FUN. Its there to make you feel GOOD about what you have. Its an art, not a requirement.

Her weird vendettas against non blonde hair and curly hair is so weird

I’m a cosmetologist, and “lighten your hair and grow it out” is NOT the suggestion I would’ve given pretty much any of these people.

“First, let’s dye that hair blonde and straighten it. Also maybe change those eyes to blue. Perfect”

This behaviour is so fucking harmful. Like a mean girl in school giving you passive agressive "feedback ". Picking "flaws" in other people just highlights her own insecurities.

"straighten it for a *cleaner* look" is so wrong is so many levels i can't even get into it

The "your face isnt done cooking" is so true. I notice my face change a lot when i was 18, and now at 20 its still changing a bit.

the irony of her “fixing” people’s looks but never showing her own face is gold

"First, take off your glasses" GURL WE GOTTA SEE ???? OUR EYEBALLS DONT WORK??? 😭

The fact that she starts with 'I got you girl' like this some kind of sisterly solidarity and she's answering a call for help when she's literally picking on random strangers and calling them ugly

I believe people who feel entitled to call other people "ugly" are extremely insecure about their own appearance. A truly confident person doesn't target people over these things.

I always think Shel Silverstein put it best wayyyy back when. He had a poem for kids about beauty, and it really was always right. You can have buck teeth, a wonky nose, frizzy hair, and as long as there's happy thoughts and a kindness in you, it shines out and makes you pretty no matter what the outside looks like. You can't get a rhinoplasty for your soul. Can you? That sounds dope as hell.

""""Brutal honesty"""" is the biggest red flag in any human being. 100% of people who take pride in that are more focused on the brutality than the honesty, it's not "dishonest" to shut your mouth when nobody asks for your opinion. It's always an admission that they lack a filter and don't care about how their words affect people.

As a person who has dealt with acne for about 10 years, my favorite part of having it is recieving unsolicited advice from people whose definition of a "bad breakout" is what my skin looks like at its clearest. If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me whether or not I washed my face or told me to drink more water, I'd be able to afford acutane.

its crazy how she changes curly hair to straight hair then straight hair to wavy hair it just shows that she's never really happy with the end result its just how different they look that matters to her

The fact that she just so calmly says "get acutane" and "get braces" makes it so evident she comes from money and has everything just given to her like its nothing

The fact that the person behind the account is FAKING these captions. None of the people even ASKED for brutal honesty! Disgusting. OH AND FORGOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE SHE DOES THIS TO DONT EVEN SPEAK ENGLISH AS THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE! SO EVEN IF THEY SAW THE VIDEOS THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THEM!!!! HOW FUN

As someone who is struggling w severe hair loss, that advice to just grow it out literally changed my life. I can’t believe I didn’t think about that before!!!

This week in my gender studies class I had to write a paper about unrealistic beauty standards… I absolutely had to cite this video!

Her saying the woman with that beautiful dark red curly/wavy hair didn't look good with it KILLED ME, SHE IS LITERALLY SO PRETTY AND IT FITS HER PERFECTLY, WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNN.

I've heard about the glowup gal before. She picks people who did not ask for help in the slightest, she put the text there and she also tends to target people who don't speak English.

Faking that random strangers asked you for “brutal honesty” so you have an excuse to insult them at length in front of a huge audience is evil. I’m not even super invested in my appearance, but if that happened to me I’d be devastated

Air up is becoming the new raid shadow legends for KZfaq sponsors

i recognized a friend in this video. is so sad to see her there being completely changed by that girl when she’s already so beautiful.

12:35 “my teeth would be straighter than three in one body wash” has me dying 😂😂😂

This is that one girl from middle school who would give you unwarranted advice on makeup as a 'subtle' way of telling you she thinks you're ugly

The fact she calls adding volume to curly hair “growing it out” makes me cringe so hard. That’s not how curly hair works. She’s clearly blonde as well bc she makes everyone blonde!

The way I literally gasped when she said to “make your nose smaller”. I should probably have lowered my expectations but speaking as someone who’s family has very prominent Jewish noses that I’ve always found beautiful, it’s still sometimes a shock how blatantly racist people can be under the guise of “beauty tips”

I like how she is just like "yeah you need a new nose, sorry, brutal honesty"

My jaw dropped at the reveal that these people never requested that. I was confused as to why they would, but knowing that they didn't makes it 10000x worse

The chicken-fingering dude calling Chadchad, a literal 10/10, ugly, is so damn funny. my dude, you could just admit that you don't have a single argument against her. it would be less embarrassing.

Isn’t it many videos like this are borderline eugenics, like they always make people have blonde hair and lighten their eyes.

When i worked in retail I hated when people would ask me “would YOU wear this.” It doesn’t matter what I would wear. My style might not be your style. My insecurities and my appearance isnt the same as yours. I would only try to meet whatever their specific needs were and make it fashionable. You want to be modest? Cover your tummy? Want bright colors? Have a short torso? Need something professional? Want to look sexy and classy? OKAY! I’m just here to find what you need and make sure it’s styled to fit those needs! But this girl really said you should look how I want you to look. And it’s their literal genetics😭

11:18 Accutane can be damaging in OTHER WAYS. So no, not everyone can take it. It’s not a “try this cream” type of this. It’s a HEAVY DUTY medicine.

"Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it" - Mike Tyson.

Underrated Chadchad talent: real serious acting. The "self esteem, smaller" part got me good

The fact that people even feel the need to go on a medication that causes horrible side effects to get rid of their acne or get life-threatening cosmetic procedures just to fit into a beauty standard is just another sign that we are absolutely failing as a society. (Although I do understand that acne itself can be painful and it’s not always about conforming to societal standards)

I'm so happy someone covered this, it's literally problematic to reconstruct someone's face and then saying it's "easy to achieve". But it's not. People have different types of skin, facial features and structures, so it's so weird to do this.

Potentially unpopular opinion: Suggesting so many of these girls get blonde hair is ludicrous because if you're not naturally blonde, that color can not only jack up the texture of your hair and make your hair look thinner, but it often makes women look way older than they are. In one of the clips of her "improvements" the girl had healthy-looking hair and whatever app she used literally gave her damaged-looking highlighted hair. Lol.

Chad chad sitting here casually being an INCREDIBLE role model for young women.

Just as a general rule of thumb: it's almost never _you_ that's unattractive, stuff like fashion and general self care go a long way. Even when you're just feeling more attractive, you're basically all the way there

I’ll never get when these “beauty gurus” tell people to remove their glasses. Like bruh, I’d be blind without them and they are too strong to get as contacts. I swear these people have never met someone who has glasses irl or think it’s a fashion statement bruhhh

The glow up gal isn't even "glowing up" these people, she's just turning these people into what she defines as a glow up or pretty.

i work at a beauty store and the amount of women who come in asking for products that will change their entire appearance to fit tiktok standards ☹️

I was on accutane. It was horrible, it cleared up my acne for sure but my skin the entire time I was on it(everywhere but my face) was a mess. I had really bad cracking and bleeding eczema, my asthma got worse over that time, I had really bad and worsening anxiety. Even after that my skin, that hasn’t suffered eczema since I was a baby still has issues as well as almost zero tolerance for sun. I am a quarter japanese and used to tan super easily, almost never got burned; last time I went to Hawaii with my family I had sun poisoning for half the trip. I also somehow developed an allergy to almost all sunscreen except for cerave. DONT go on accutane unless you are REALLY prepared for the side effects.

i absolutely hate this tiktok person i blocked them IMMEDIATELY. i was hospitalized for bulimia nervosa and that is exactly how you give people body dysmorphia, it’s not advice it’s straight up bullying

I'm someone who has embraced my natural face and stopped wearing makeup and if someone took my photo and put contour and concealer on it to "glow me up" I think I would commit a crime. There's so much pressure on women to have the same face even if it's unachievable without major alterations. I'm not interested in friendship or relationship with anyone who can't handle a bare face

The saddest part is all of these kids are CHILDREN. they are still growing up, and having random people on the internet talk about them like “here’s what you need to do to fix your face” is so so damaging. It was bad when I was a kid in the 90s and 2000s, but this is a billion times worse

thank you for the mention about people suggesting accutane like it's some new groundbreaking thing. i've had cystic acne for a decade now, and the amount of people that suggest accutane, clearasil, cerave, you name it... like i've never heard of it before and get mad when i don't grovel at their feet for suggesting a "magical cure-all". i don't really struggle with having acne aesthetically anymore, it's just physically painful, but it's still nice to have someone recognize that it sucks to deal with and it's demeaning when people are constantly trying to "fix" your face and acting like you're stupid or ungrateful when you have your own ideas about it.

Honestly, the girls weren't even ugly before. The fact she even makes the person say they want a glow up with 'brutal honesty' just so she can say they're ugly and make them like a doll... they look so scary after. 💀

The fact that Chad, Kurtis, Danny, Drew, and Jarvis are dropping videos simultaneously with just a few hours difference is a conspiracy on it's own.

7:19 okay but why is she so gorgeous and love her death note shirt. She does not need a glow up she's beautiful

This isn't even the kind of content I typically like. I'm not about tiktok or makeup anything, but her delivery is really funny.

All of the people she picks out are so beautiful thoo😭😭 And she just takes their unique beauty and turns them into a mold she made a thousand times

Having violent flashbacks to the girl in middle school who told me "Wow. You're actually kind of pretty without your glasses."

“Okay girl, I’m gonna give a glow up” “First, Let’s remove all sense of your sight”

6:50 The "look at that difference " is soo synch with the music it's satisfying

Standing chad chad makes me deeply uncomfortable

I’m going to open up an account like this and just put everyone in armor “You asked how to look better, so I put you in 1688 crusaders armor, I also gave you a bastard sword because longsword supremacy, now you look spectacular”

0:36 Bruh the mandatory organic air up placements have me dying, like yeah I too when I talk have this giant bent water bottle swinging around 😭💀

4:35 as someone who intentionally keeps short hair idk how id feel about someone's first piece of advice being "grow out your hair" fuck you i like it short

I love that the chicken fingering (not a typo) guy openly hates Chad Chad. That is a delicious addition to the lore.

Don't EVER do a poultry fingering jump scare again, ever.

I NEEDED A WARNING for that chicken violation lmaoooooo i'm traumatized fr

There's no way she is older than like 15-17, which makes it even sadder/weirder.

0:07 i always pretend to look shocked whenever she says "my name is chad chad" and then act relieved when she says "not really" so her calling me out for falling for it everytime was so funny actually

"I'd suggest getting braces to help straighten out your teeth as well as whitening them to appear cleaner. You can do this in dental office or at home with whitening strips." WOW! I had NO IDEA that it's SOOOOOOOOOOO easy to get straight white able-bodied upper-class cis male teeth! I wish I thought of that!

One of the people who got a “glow up” was someone I followed, they didn’t even ask to get a “glow up”. The text was added in order for the girl to have something to post, I think it’s horrible that they just pick someone who they don’t think is conventionally pretty and adds the text. Or even assumes just because they post a vent she has the permissions to make fun of them in these glow up.

Ppl underestimate how damaging this truly is to young girls, I remember as a child I found my art on a “cringe” page and had a full blown panic attack. I literally cannot imagine how painful it would be to discover a super popular short on someone pointing out “unattractive “ traits , as a child. This shit feels innocuous to those who make it, but the reality is that it is a form of abuse that causes real trauma

A girl in my class once started randomly commenting on how I should start using make up and how I'd look better, she also told me how to style my hair and that she will literally come to my house and straighten it. I have nothing against people who like this type of look, but I literally never asked.

As a Filipino boy, who has really curly and fluffy black hair, and hella acne, i think Glowup Gal wouldnt even consider me to be human

To summarize this: "How to be basic 101" Also i can sense that she's the type of person who would throw a tantrum over things not going her way

"straighter than 3-in-one body wash" is the funniest thing I've heard all year, subbed

This would be MORTIFYING as a teen myself. Its honestly evil of her to just find random people she sees as 'ugly' to point out all of their imaginary flaws

You‘re so effortlessly funny, your videos are a joy to watch. Never change please

literally the only thing I would tell any of these young women who asked for help is this: take care of yourself, love yourself, and your beauty will show on your face going out and nitpicking people's looks is so toxic and and actually screams "I need to be validated" more than anything else could

5:55 hummingbirds are actually very violent little creatures. They're extremely territorial and can effectively beat the shit out of lizards that try to eat their eggs. Those beaks are no joke.

this and looksmaxxing is making me concerned. it's like the beauty industry doesn't even have to spend money on marketing to make people buy their stuff anymore. haughty weirdos on the internet can just do it in perpetuity on their own. i wish we could make them spend MORE money though

I love how the top topic recognized by ai is “Chad Chad is loved”

What's horrifying me the most about this person is that the people she's "glowing up" all look like teenagers :( She's taking advantage of those poor young people's insecurity for content and it makes me wanna throw up

Chad Chad calling my insecurities a skill issue truly changed my perspective on life

SPEAK ON IT CHAD CHAD

Wow I thought the unsolicited 'Fixing Your Art' videos were the most rude, uncalled for things on the internet but this is just next level lmao the amount of audacity to not only use photos of REAL people's faces, who did not ask for it, making content out of critiquing their appearance without asking for permission (or adequately tagging them at the least), deciding to make your unsolicited feedback 'brutal' instead of kind or compassionate while also inviting your audience to make comments on this stranger's appearance and exposing them to harrassment, using photoshop to make unrealistic/unattainable changes, focusing your advive on things these people are born with and are outside their control or ability to change (hair length/texture, face shape, teeth, skin conditions, body type, race???) all the while positioning your very narrow, eurocentric (and kind of problematic) preferences as THE standard for beauty...the layers of disrespect are astounding lol Their scammy makeover service is somehow the least interesting part of this iceberg

Imagine minding your own business walking down the street then some girl comes up to you and starts pointing at you, telling you to completely change your face so you look like Kim Kardashian if she got hit by a semi truck.

the photoshop bit at the end was extremely silly and it made me smile %)

i’m a guy who absolutely LOVES having wavy hair and i think if someone decided i looked ugly with wavy hair and said i’d look better with it straightened im crossing the pacific ocean

“I got you girl! I wont explain anything, i wont tell you the makeup names or brands neither how to properly apply said makeup, i will also edit the shape of your face making my tips impossible without surgery, and best believe all of my “glow ups” include lack of individualism, lighten skin, and European centric beauty standards. oh, did i mention that i edited in the question? Thats right! Most of you didn’t even ask me to do this! I just did this because i thought these woman mainly teenagers were ugly and i wanted money.”

8:30 small faces are the beauty standard in a lot of Asian countries though. E.g. Japan and South Korea.

"she hate me but she won'ts me" i cannot get that shit out of my head help

"How do I look prettier?" "Hey I gotchu I photoshopped the shit out of your picture!"

Watching her makeovers kinda reminds me of those weird disney makeover scenes where the solution to being ugly was to take off your glasses/braces and let your hair down😭

that guy saying Chad's anything other than ASTOUNDINGLY BEAUTIFUL is COPIUM lmaoooo

14:36 i got jumpscared lmfaoooo

this reminds me of every 2000s makeover show

love how she just tells someone to get a prescription for acne medication, professional teeth whitening, braces, etc. as though it's easy & cheap. i was told when i was younger that i should get braces. I didn't because it would have cost thousands of dollars out of pocket.

Also its wild that she's obviously the sort of person who thinks makeup is about "fixing imperfections" and not enhancing your features or expressing creativity and that's so cringe. Like I do not own hundreds of dollars worth of eyeshadow pallets because I think I'm ugly and am trying to hide. 😐 If you do that sounds like a personal issue of projection.

3:28 I legitimately laughed out loud at the eyebrows xD

You have no business being this funny and the world is better for it

I love my curly hair, bangs, wide nose, and acne scars genuinely and also in spite of weirdos like this, mwah mwah mwah to myself and all of these girls

Addressing beef and also a major mental/emotional/physical crisis within current beauty standards is top tier chad move. Chad chad lives up to her name
