She used to pluck her eyebrows so they would be in a straight line, causing her face to look wider. Later she started to experiment with foundation, but she was using shades too light for her skin, which made her look sick and tired. She got through all the stages of trying and failing until she found out what combination of products worked for her. After improving her skills, she started posting on YouTube. Her first video was called My Favourite MAC Lipstick, and it got a couple hundred thousand views.
Haley’s motto, considering makeup, is Less is More. After all of the searching for the best type of foundation, she realized that her skin was beautiful on its own. She sees makeup as a tool to enhance already existing facial features, not a way to hide or change them. This approach leads her life, and it appeals to a lot of her viewers. Haley’s channel represents the unusual way of looking at makeup. She likes to keep things simple and tries to inspire her viewers to do the same. She uploaded a video Natural Makeup Look, where she shared her everyday routine considering makeup, and it got over 2,6 million views.
