I LOVE the no introduction in the video, so many KZfaqrs and influencers waste so much time prefacing things instead of getting to the point! Also, I remember my mom alway complaining at me at the hair tie on my wrist when I was younger haha

I just got a promotion at work today. I must thank people like Anna for her priceless advice. My manager told me part of the reason I was chosen out of 4 others is that I am articulate, well-spoken and well put together and that I was the best choice to face our clients. Thank you Anna Bey! People do notice effort and when you are an elegant lady, you are a cut above the rest.

1:59 no hate just a thought, to be honest, your foundation looks a different color than your neck

I've been slowly getting into femininity now that I'm trying to not be so introverted. Altho I'm covered in tattoos, and basically a tomboy, this stuff is pretty fun and I'm enjoying learning it and it feels good to look pretty. Slowly but surely I'm getting there lol this is good stuff here thank you 🙂

I once attended a party where I had my natural eyebrow shape, lightly trimmed, neatly brushed, and lightly pencilled in in my natural brow color. Messing too much with my brows irritates my skin. The host and some of the women guests who were supposedly my 'friends' at my table made fun of me at length for not sporting the thick, dark, and sharp 2016 Instagram eyebrows that they did. After that party I stopped talking to them up to now. There is no reason to maintain ties with anyone who ridicules anyone, publicly and otherwise, for their appearance.

A new video during a week day? What a treat Anna

I grew up so afraid to be feminine bc of the area I live in and how I was raised. Thank you for helping girls like me educate ourselves!

I believe there's nothing wrong with having strong eyebrows. Personally, my brows have always been black and quite thick naturally. However, while I do trim them, I never take away from the thickness. On the same note, I don't have the need to add any products on my brows, because I feel like they suit me just the way they are. My natural brows are possibly the best, unique, strong feature on my face, and they're going to stay.

I agree with the entire video, and, I would add to the list: Mink fluffy lash extentions. Does not look good. And spidery lashes with lots and lots of mascara.

Keeping your natural color is the best way to avoid looking gross. I learned this the hard way. I dyed my hair for years and although my natural hair color isn’t my favorite, it’s helped me to elevate my look to embrace it.

Perfume is something very personal. The same perfume doesn't smell identically on each person. It depends on each skin pH. Difference between EDT, EDP and Perfume could be tricky even on the same skin.

Anna

You look more and more beautiful with each passing video! Whatever you are doing keep it up! 😘

Speaking of foundation, yours is too dark and too warm for your skin.

For me, it’s all about the leathery, suede, musk, and amber scents. Completely sophisticated, subtly sexy, different, and mature in the best way. Plus I have never gotten so many compliments as when I wear scents like this! Tom Ford’s White Suede is ✨perfection✨ in a bottle.

I've been coloring my hair for years and also study color theory/color analysis. Not everyone looks good with ash blonde hair. In fact, if you have warm undertones, you might actually look better with the orange/copper look. Of course you should still visit the salon and get a toner every 6-8 weeks to freshen it up. It is worth it to pay for a professional color analysis - they advise you on wardrobe, makeup, and hair. I use to hate the color mustard, but then saw how stunning it looked on me when a professional showed me.

Anna, I landed my dream internship at a very successful automotive supplier!!! Thank you for all the leveling up advice 🥰 could you do a video of elegant but not boring professional attire?

wow .It must really be exhausting to look costly or elegant to others . Being mindful of even to the degree of how you breathe . Knowing is one thing , and following the right things another . But being natural and staying according to your preferences are something .

Lip fillers also cheapen the appearance majorly as does any obvious plastic surgery!

The best part of this great video is how it just starts right to the point, no small talk, loved it. Thank you as always, Anna

Another subtle tip is not shoving bulky items it your pocket, or over stuffing your purse!

Anna is going to tell it like it is, and her advice is rock solid. I've not set a foot wrong when implementing her recommendations. Thank you Anna, you are the consultant I didn't know I needed. Cheers from Canada!

The fact that she used Trisha as an example has me DEAD💀💀💀

Who else loves Anna? ❤️ She’s like an older sister that teaches you elegant lifestyle

I found a hair stylist 4 years ago that understands how to best add highlights to an older woman's hair. Rather than trying to totally hide the incoming gray hair, she uses highlights in a way that blends it all so well. Plus, she is in a small town situated between larger towns and her prices are more affordable. She is a treasure!

Hi Anna, I've watched several videos from you. I found you while browsing for perfumes, but got hooked on your content, even though my lifestyle is very different from yours or what you want to convey, but there's one thing in common: we all want to be a better version of ourselves :) And I find your content very interesting, though. There's a lot I could say, but I'd like to emphasize, that you're an astonishing communicator. So eloquent, fluent, captivating, and straight to the point with the right amount of entertainment. Thank you!!

I have natural golden blonde hair lol and it’s pretty yellow toned. Perfume in a professional setting is typically discouraged. I think foundation that doesn’t match your neck and too much filler is much worse 😛

I loove elegant, classy perfumes. My favorites are: Blackberry and Bay by Jo Malone, Hermes Twilly Eau Poivree, Chanel Chance and Gabrielle, Vol de nuit by Guerlain, Paris by Balenciaga

OMG, I’m obsessed with perfumes!! Can’t wait to watch you talk about this topic 🥺❤️

I loved number 5. It reinforces the old saying “Beauty Is As Beauty Does!”

Hey Anna love the video thanks as always. Just wanted to add that Olive is also an undertone that is much overlooked. For years I never fit into the traditional warm, cool or neutral range and was so confused why. But learning about my olive undertones was a gamechanger 😊

For the "smell topic", it really depends on your culture, in some country like Japan, a good smell is no smell. When you are perfumed, it is considered as, sorfy tu put it like that, "stinking". As someone with a really good sense of smell, i really relate to it. Someone overly perfumed can be as uncomfortable for me as someone smelling sweat. So...stay light in this area. A good amount is when ppl have to be close to you, (a few inches) to smell your perfume in my opinion.

I change my perfume according to season (and mood). Instead of getting a perfume bottle, I get the travel sizes only so I can keep it in my purse. And remember to always spray or roll on enough. It’s a little tacky and annoying when theres too much. I use perfume to spritz on my clothes and then perfume oil for my skin: My favorites: Gucci Bloom - spring Chloe- spring Gucci memoire- winter Dolce and gabana the one- fall & winter The 7 virtues lotus pear- spring and summer L’eau D’issey issey miyaki- spring and summer Nest cocoa woods- fall and winter All year: Heretic- dirty vanilla

i like VERSACE BRIGHT CRYSTAL. its expensive but really makes me feel good when i just can wear it if only for myself.

For me Chanel is the brand that has the most classy perfumes, each of them smells elegant (my favorite is coco noir but just for winter). For spring/summer my top classy perfumes are Jasmins Marzipan from Lancome and Aventus for Her from Creed. I also love as a brand Armani Privé and Tom Ford

I don't think she has bad intentions and I think that her advice can prove helpful in certain situations (looking for a job etc), but life is too short to always strike for perfection. Being yourself with all your flaws makes you unique and more attractive to me. It's sad to see little girls buying the same face and feeling less than enough.

I love your shorter hair style, Anna. It looks so fresh and pretty for Spring,

I really like how you started the tips from the first second! So many ramble on at the beginning… this was so refreshing☺️

This was spot on Anna! The perfume part; I like to buy organic perfumes with essential oils. Sometimes they can smell musky but I go for ones that have a light flowery smell, especially if it has honeysuckle or ylang ylang is the best natural organic yet young smelling, if you get the gist! :)

I always find that “unisex” smelling perfumes are very flattering at least on myself that I’ve noticed. I think it may be the overtly fruity and floral scents seem very preteen, body spray, smelling. Very subtle but cologne-like perfumes are my favorite. For instance Burberry for her is one of the first perfumes I purchased when I started putting effort into my clothes and appearance and I still wear it regularly.

There are bracelets that act as a hair tie holder that look cute. I used to work in a field where I absolutely NEEDED to have at least 1 hair tie available. The bracelet allowed me to keep that function while also looking more elevated. I think it’s very elegant to match your fragrance to the season. Light, bright, and fresh scents when it’s warm and warmer, deeper, richer scents when it’s cold. Everyone’s body chemistry is different so you need to wear what works best for you, but I generally stay away from fragrances that are too sweet (sickly sweet, almost like candy).

Chanel coco intense is my favorite evening perfume and miss Dior is my favorite day time perfume. Those are my favorite go-to perfumes, but I have many I consider to be seasonal. I agree with the chipped nails, just take the polish off! Getting regular hair trims and oral hygiene is so important! I always make sure to have a professional at Sephora match my foundation. I think one of the worst things a woman can do is have the wrong shade of foundation. It can age really age you!

I love no introduction videos but I need to hear your "Hello my elegant ladies". I JUST LOVED IT. I need it for my sanity.

If you’re on a budget, Jimmy Choo L’eau for summer and Jimmy Choo Fever for winter. I get many compliments from men and women. Whilst they’re not my favourite, they’re inoffensive and tasteful, yet the lasting power is very good (to me personally anyway, and I’m so picky with scents!). You don’t need to break the bank to look/smell great. Also, if I had to only have one perfume for all occasions, Gucci Premier EDP. Favourites of all time: - Chanel Coco Noir, BEFORE the reformulation - Parfums De Marly Delina (no other PDM’s agree with me) - Christian Louboutin Loubirouge - MFK BR540 - Jo Malone Amber and Ginger Lily - Tiffany Rose Gold for summer - JPG La Belle Intense for winter/night. Took some getting used to, it smelt almost dirty initially but now am in love with it… as is every man who walks past me. And now the BODY CREAM! The Fenty Butta is awesome. It is so good for sensitive skin, but so silky and gorgeous. It’s one of those products that doesn’t let you down because it is exactly as the website describes. There is a very slight tropical scent, which to me personally mixes just fine with all perfumes because it’s so subtle. I personally don’t like perfumed lotion because I feel it is not made to nourish skin, just to make perfume last longer. Fenty Butta makes you G L O W! And no I am not sponsored 😂 just a nobody who loves sharing my favourite products with others!

I have found that not wearing any nailpolish at all, with shorter nails, is the easiest way to look classy with less. I also used to do that thick brow, but now I do a very light brow which is 1 stripe then using a little brush to spread it. Less is more! And not wearing lipstick from the tube, but using a bit on your finger to put on your mouth is a lot more natural as well. Oh and I completely stopped painting my hair! I'm not grey, I don't need it! Now my hair is full and healthy on it's own instead of the tired,dry, and fake paint upkeep!

I have a tip for eyebrows, I get mine done every month and I get them dyed too (mine are super light and now they are a tad lighter than my normal "head" hair), this literally means my eyebrows always look good. Sometimes I use a bit of gel to shape the hairs, but it saves so much time and it looks natural.

Ladies reading this, just don't fret about committing a fashion faux pas.... Life is too short so do what gives you happiness.. The only two items you need to have on your mental checklist before you leave your house should be your car keys and common sense 🙂 You are beautiful and carry yourself the way you want without getting overly conscious about committing a fashion blunder...honestly, just work on your personality which is sooo much more that just wearing make-up the right way and wearing "expensive looking clothes" Don't get me wrong, being well groomed is extremely important..i do ensure i look presentable but please that's just one aspect of my personality.. We often get too caught up with this aspect and ignore other aspects...so don't forget that there's soooo more to you than your outer self. .

Anna I love how straightforward this video is

Can't wait for the perfume video! I like florals, and men have gone absolutely insane for Tocca Florence specifically. I also wear La Vie Est Belle, it's a reliable basic perfume. I recently bought a Pinrose play set (kind of out of trend, but whatever) and there are scents I really enjoy the smell of in it, but I'm not sure if they're really what I want to smell like. Some of them initially smell a bit like alcohol, which I think is what makes a perfume smell "cheap".

Lovely hairstyle, Anna! As for perfume, Rive Gauche by Yves St. Laurent. It smells delectable, but subtly so, and is very different from the super sweet fragrances that are popular now. I have gotten so many compliments over the years when wearing RG.

Wow. You actually gave advice. I've seen so many time wasting videos, this reminded of some things I already knew but pointed out some things I genuinely hadn't thought about!!

I’m a southeast Asian and I was born with dark hair. In my early 20s I loved exploring different colours for my hair, nothing crazy like neon pink or green, but mainly like dark brown and light brown even blonde. The problem I have realised over the years is that the contrast between my root colour and the rest of my coloured hair colour really don’t look put together. And since I didn’t use colour protected shampoo and conditioner, after a while, the hair colour turned brassy, and that brassy paired with my black root hair. Ahh.🤦‍♀️. Apart from that , I have found that the lighter the hair colour I chose, the more it made my face feature “fades away”. It just made me look like a different person in my opinion. So after I turned 25, I stopped dyeing my hair , I slowly accepted my natural hair colour. It’s been 6 years and my hair has never been so healthy and silky and I don’t have to worry about dyeing my hair every 3 months or so. And let me tell you ladies, the quality of your hair does significant impact on your appearance and make you look a lot more elegant and youthful. About fragrance, I have always love j’dore Dior. It is the one of the most sophisticated, timeless classic fragrances I have ever smelled. And it lasts so long on the skin and clothes too. A little goes a long way . I have got so many compliments from friends family and even strangers on the street whenever I wear it.

Yes please make a video about expensive and classy scents!! Waiting for it.

I could not agree more for the teeth. I had crooked teeth and boy my confidence was in the gutter. I went to Mexico and got a full dental bridge for a fraction of the cost even if I have insurance here in the USA. It made a massive difference in my life, what a great investment!

Anna, your fresh hair! The way it bevels in toward your features is so beautiful. Your bone structure just really pops and sparkles with this. I did not know I could like any hairstyle even more on you than before, here we are 👏🏻 “Transformation never stops” 💙

Your hair looks fabulous like that. So much more elegant than the extensions. A mark of confidence.

Love how honest you are!

My go to perfumes are definitely Beautiful Belle and Modern Muse from Estée Lauder, and mademoiselle from Channel! I tend to prefer very feminine and floral scents. I’m also only 19, so these scents fit me well with my youthful vibe.

You look so great and fresh with a shorter hair!!! I really like your new look 🧡

Thank you for the reminder Anna. I see so many dressed up folks where I live and work, but their brains are in the clouds and they leave trash in the store I work at and abandon their shopping carts in random places. YOUR BEHAVIOR IS PART OF YOUR STYLE.

I think that you are cool and make great content, but I think that being too proper may actually look cheap for many people. Elegance in my book is having a bit of a playfulness, a bit of an imperfection. A bit like the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi. Being too put together and calculated could end up looking a bit old and uninspiring. Just a thought and my take, and I'm a guy (; I enjoy your videos because you always make good points and don't take yourself too seriously. I just think it's also important to not be perfect!

So many good tips! Foundation is especially hard for me, as I have light olive skin tone. Looking put together can be hard too, especially if you work the farm or raise babies.

Favorite classy parfumes that always gets me compliments Flowerbomb (the classic) - victor and rolf Gucci flora - gardenia flowers (daytime parfume ) Giorgio Armani - si Chanel - chance (work parfume / meetings ) Ysl - black opium (night perfume/ or date)

Sound advice. This eyebrow style is happening all over the country and I know for sure when these ladies look back in a couple of years at photos and videos of themselves they will be horrified lol. ❤️🇬🇧

Well, this is some very accurate advice. My grandmother thaught me those things from when I was little, and it's proven to work ☺️

I love and adore Chanel #5. My grandmother wore it and so do I. It is wonderful on me…

Omg I can’t wait for the perfume video

It's so delightful having an Anna video on a Thursday ☺. What a great way to cheer up a boring work day!

I’m obsessed that she went straight into the video ❤

My favorite perfumes of all time: Dior J'Adore and Chanel Mademoiselle. I have tried others, but these have always been my favorite. You got me at hair band on the wrist and the nails. Need to work on those two!

Lancôme Tresor in Love is my favourite perfume! I also enjoy wearing anything by Dior or Hermes. Expensive doesn't need to mean 'expensive' though. I also have some cheaper perfumes by the likes of Avon that I wear at work that smell high end (Little Black Dress is one), not sweet and smells classy. It's all about what works for you and mixes well with your own natural scent.

Yes to the hair elastic around the wrist! That is a big pet peeve of mine. I’m so glad I am not the only one who notices this.

I love that there’s no intro thank you for getting straight to the point!

Dior - Joy Dior - dolce vita Chanel - Tendre Ralph Lauren - Romance Gucci - Guilty These are my top 5 fragrances and I always get amazing compliments on how beautiful they are. I agree about the celebrity perfumes. I don’t buy them anymore

I love her you went straight the the facts, this video needed no introduction. Thank you for the great reminders that we needed to hear as elegant ladies.

For perfume, I feel that natural scents, such as vanilla, coconut, lavender, rose etc, are best, but most importantly making sure it isn't too strong and overwhelming.

Bless your soul, if this hard faced woman is the source of your life advice.

A trick to filling in brows is to not fill in the area closest to your nose but to instead fill in the middle section of your brow and the tail end. ❤ Love from NYC.

Anna I do have to thank you. After finding you in the beginning of this year I got inspired to pursue an old dream of mine (work-related) that I wanted for many years but always got discouraged because everyone around me told me that I was crazy to wanted because is something really hard to start and ist people that try it, fail. I always wanted to be my own boss, even though I'm not there yet, I have started the path to do it!

Anna, You’re absolutely doing a great job, I am loving this content. We need more of these!

Years ago, I was in a clothing store at the mall, and I remember this large picture of a model. She had long golden-yellow hair and she was standing in the sunlight. To this day, I still remember how bright and beautiful her hair was in the sun.

she just gets everything on point, we need more people like this!!

Some people who self harm keep a rubber band around their wrist so they can snap it against their skin whenever they feel upset, sad, empty and etc. It's a substitute for more dangerous forms of self harm like cutting or burning.

Since I was young my grandmother always taught me to be hygienically clean, she would do my nails, cut my hair, sew dresses for me, and let me use her perfumes. She told me that's how you find a charming man someone who appreciates more than beauty, someone who is well cultured, well dressed, and clean. Then I moved to the States and I had to find a professional stylist. Thank goodness I found Pamela! Although, I will forever be grateful to my grandmother for every moment and every lesson. As for perfumes, I would welcome future recommendations. I always rotate between Chanel Chance Eu Tendre and Givenchy Dahlia Divin, both perfumes are perfect for me. Thank you, Anna. I hope you have a great week!

Chypre fragrances are pretty classy. I have been enjoying Aqua Di Parma's Peonia Nobile lately. Very complex and elegant as well as feminine. I had to laugh about the eyebrows because it is easy to accidentally make them Groucho-esque if you keep adding pencil to make the brows look exactly the same. You don't realize how bad it is until you check yourself out in the car vanity mirror. Micellar water is a life saver in these situations!

Very excited for the video on perfumes 💖

Eyebrow tip: do them before your foundation so any mistakes are easily corrected with foundation and concealer!

Hi, Anna- I'm one of your newer viewers. I started watching out of curiosity (how elegant can a grizzled old military veteran be, anyway), and kept watching because you're quite interesting. It didn't hurt that somehow I already do a lot of the things that you teach. Instead of being alienated, I was intrigued. Thank you for asking about scent. My favorites are Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Excelsa and Floral Drops, and Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. The latter has an intriguing grapefruit note that synergises beautifully with the other elements. I wear fragrance sparingly- more for me than anyone around me. I put a bit on my right wrist, and touch it under my chin. For me, the fragrance is a tool to help calm and center me, a way to bring me to 'now'.

I used to work in the luxury fragrance industry. I can say that the most elegant perfumes, in my opinion, are Jo Malone (very subtle, agreeable, and affordable), Chanel, and Tom Ford. There are of course many more… but those are the brands that come to mind when I think of “elegance”.

Omg the eyebrow thing drives me crazy too!!! Love your videos!

I literarily check 90% of this list! Gotta change my cheap ways 😂

I wish there was a channel like this for men. Men are hotter when they're elegant

Point number 3: Foundation tone. This can *change* through the year AND also with getting older. Mix foundations within a given brand to get the right tone and colour and consistency. I've just changed to a lighter consistency and a lighter colour but same under tone and in winter it may change again.

I use SI from Armani amd i love that it stays!!!! I swear there's not one night I go out with it that I don't get a compliment.

Anna's hair looks so good here!! This style/length really suits her well. Oh and about the teeth, actually I'm fully invested in my self improvement journey and I put on braces last year... regular metal ones. At the same time that I feel it looks so stupid, I know it was the right choice, cuz it already looks so much better. Just a few more months to go until my dream smile, I'm very looking forward to getting this thing out hahahah 😆

I use these 3 fragrances that alternate depending on my mood or situation Izia la nuit de Sisley, Soir de orient de Sisley and Maison Tahité Sel vanille. Can't wait to see your video about fragrances. By the way, this haircut rejuvenates you, but it is elegant💖

Anna, you have the most amazing skin! Would you consider doing a video on skincare?

If insecurity/ perfectionist tendencies was a video
