Valkyrae fans praise YouTube star for promoting realistic beauty standards YouTube: ValkyrieRachell \u2018Valkyrae\u2019 Hofstetter\u2019s fans praised her for promoting realistic beauty standards by courageously showing them how her skin looks underneath all the makeup despite feeling \u201cinsecure\u201d about it. The internet is a place where unrealistic beauty standards run rampant, not only on social media but also in the streaming industry. After all, people typically want to look their best in front of the camera, especially when it\u2019s on them for hours on end. Rae isn\u2019t an exception to the rule. However, she was open and honest about her makeup usage on stream, revealing she uses it to cover up her acne. Then, she showed fans a glimpse of how her skin really looks, and they praised her for it. \u201cI wanted to show you guys my skin,\u201d she said. \u201cI know it looks like I\u2019m flawless, but let me show you what I\u2019ve been dealing with, and I\u2019m honestly really insecure about it. My skin under my makeup is so bad.\u201d However, despite those insecurities, she mustered the courage to pull out her phone to show fans a candid picture of her cheek without makeup. \u201cLook at my skin,\u201d she exclaimed, while holding it up in front of the camera. Rae also revealed the impact putting on makeup for streams has had on it. \u201cI keep putting makeup on to stream and do shoots and stuff,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s an endless cycle of putting makeup on acne. It sucks!\u201d The relevant part of the video begins at 10:40. Rae\u2019s fans commended her for being open and honest about it. \u201cSo grateful to see Rae showing people that no one is perfect and that the photos we see of her are edited and use filters, and she wears cover-up makeup,\u201d said one fan. \u201cIt\u2019s really cool of Rae to show her audience that even the most famous streamers and celebrities don\u2019t actually look perfect all the time,\u201d said another. \u201cAs someone who struggles with acne and scarring, I found it nice to be able to relate to her.\u201d It was similar to the time when Pokimane was praised by fans for hosting a no make-up stream in October 2018 in a bid to promote realistic beauty standards, although she was later criticized for using it to flex her wealth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
