Both sides look beautiful. I think the left contour & bronzer/blush duo looks better on you. Ty for a great vid ❤️🙌🏼

Sometimes in the video there are like green screens or green stripes that show up outta nowhere like 5:07

Love the right side, your right side:)) but like you’re beautiful! Also the contour technique u’ve recently done its perfect for my shape face! Thanks so much!!!!!!! I’ve already done it twice!keep em coming gurl!! Xxx

Honestly both sides look great. PS I like your natural lip line. Over-lining is still noticeable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the longer video. Definitely learned a couple new tricks.

Buenos Dias!

Huh? No, she's already said the right side ( right to us, ...her left side) is the wrong side. She's just not making a big deal of labeling them right/wrong in the photos.

@@barbarafairbanks4578 she never actually says "this side is wrong", she just says that's not what suits her face shape the best, *in her opinion*.

I was just thinking this! It’s so refreshing to see 😭✊🏻

@@barbarafairbanks4578 u clearly werent watching the video

In her last video, Alex gave a great tip that I'm definitely using: take a picture of yourself with no makeup and draw on it how you want it to look, so then you'll know where to place products!

Same! I've watched every video I could find telling you how to tell if you have a round, heart or square face and every other facial feature shape. I can never really tell on myself. I gave up. I just try different placements to see which I like best.

Get to know an artist. Someone that draws/paints. I was in my 40s,thinking all my life I had a sort of square round or fat square face, and the artist I was crying about it to said "you have a heart shape face. Period. Don't argue with me. I have an art degree and spent countless hours studying and dissecting the shape of faces and body parts." Mind blown.

@@candeladominguez7308 thanks that seems like it might help xD

@@anschi2257 also, something I just thought of: take a picture of yourself with your hair pulled back and trace the outline of your face, whichever shape it resembles the most, that's your face shape!

I mean, if makeup is frivolous, then is painting frivolous? I do and love both, and my brain basically views them as one and the same...and yes - you definitely have to (well, have to isn’t a perfect word, depends on your approach, but many people do) use your mind in both.

This is the REAL scholarly content 😂🙏

😭 Thank you Lexy 🙏🏼❤️

THIS, YES

same! The no BS approach works for me too

Yes! I have ADHD too and usually I cant go through tutorials but I love your channel because I actually don't have a hard time following what you say

Same. And I really appreciate explanations as to *why* certain things do stuff. Because then it sorts out the mass of information I'm looking at and I can pick out what I'm seeing

Best comment. I 100 percent agree with you! All those filters really make someone feel less than and confused as to why your make up/face doesn't look a certain way aka flawless, but we have to keep in mind that what we see on social media isn't always real.

so happy for you for embracing your true self! as someone who has been doing makeup since middle school let me just say that alexandra truly is the best makeup educator i've found on youtube in the last decade. you honestly couldn't find a better channel to help you on your makeup journey. sending positive vibes for you!!

@@cutekidcourt thank you! Taking all the good vibes I can get rn!

proud of you. ❤️

@@faithelcreador3252 Thanks! It's been a long road it gets better every day

Hope I am not being offensive but when I read MTF I thought you meant motherfucker 😂😂

Well this is a really true statement! Well said 👍😊

she is a true artist :)

Yup...you nailed it. Alex could do clown make-up and she'd look great!

She totally can pull off anything!

😂😂😂 Dude....SAME

😂

Yeahhhh I mean her eyes are beautiful and big and so-ever-slightly hooded... we with heavy hooded eyes know the struggle 😭

😭❤️❤️❤️

@@AlexandraAnele 😘💜😘

I thought this same thing!

Me too, she looks great both ways. It's more a "it depends when" than "It looks better or worst". The only thing I really don't like is the glow on the left cheek, i think is too much even for a girls night :p

That is exactly what I thought too!

Totally agree!

Love this interpretation. I agree. The snitchery lip gave her mouth a lift that it needed.

😩 Thank you so much love, this means everything, you have no idea 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Right back at ya 🌹♥️ You make me feel alive & vibrant. My husband died in 2013 & then I ended a 5 year relationship. I was in the dumps & then I found you & your amazing craft. You saved me & sorry if that seams corny lmao 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

41 here and I love Alex's channel! Her's is the BEST makeup channel out there!

Same. I’m 47 and really feeling so youthful watching the “real” and different ways to shape your face. Alex, you’re #1. Real, not pretentious or over the top. I love the real downtown earth flair

Turned 40 in December and have multiple chronic illnesses that make me feel like I'm well older. Between Alex, Samantha March, Taylor Wynn, Robert and James Welch, Jamie Genevieve, Allie Glines, Jessica Braun, Risa Does Makeup and Nikkia Joy I would not be here today. 💗💗💗

She changed my life bc I finally stopped doing it too after watching her and the creasing lessened by half. I kinda love my eyebags now, they add to the shape of my particular face.

Yes! I used to think I need to apply a thick layer of colour corrector and then another layer of light coloured concealer on the entire under eye area but after watching these videos I’ve come to realise that the way I was doing my concealer made me look a bit weird, it just looked unnatural and made my eyes look smaller. Now I only apply a very thin amount of a salmon coloured concealer and make sure there is a shadow underneath the waterline. Looks way better that way.

I never used concealer under my eyes because of the creasing, but as I age the darkness and wrinkles are getting worse. So naturally I started trying all sorts of different formulas to find a product that wouldn't crease. Then i found Alex. I stared using her shadow techniques on my own eyes bags, i swear my eyes have never looked better!!

Holy crap it DOES make eyes look smaller 😧

Same! I thought it was just me.

😂😂😂

Its not a bad and a good side, they are just different :d

Hope you recover quickly! 🙌🏼❤️❤️❤️

Praying for great recovery from Texas 💜💯

Hope you are doing better and recovering swiftly 😊

Hope you heal well 💙

😭 This means everything 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Dame will be correct. And the Queen can make exceptions, you know

Sorry to be a pedant but it's "If you were British not if you was British." This grammatical error drives me insane and I don't know how so many people can get it wrong.

@@thyop89 yk there are certain dialects (mainly across england) that use "you was" so it's not really wrong

@@lenkakolackova242 I am British. it's just bad grammar which people come to accept over time because so many people get it wrong.

@@thyop89 bet you’re fun at parties

I think it's because it pulls us into the executive function front part of the brain, moves us out of an emotional mindset and more primal parts of the brain.

Depending on what type depression you have - whether you are low in serotonin, or low in dopamine - (either could result in depression) - and if you are not on an Rx antidepressant- you might try SAM-e (S-Adenosyne Methionine) - for low dopamine. I may have spelled Adenosyne wrong). Anyhow, our bodies make SAMe, but if we are low, it can make our brain's neuro-dopamine levels low. it's the type of depression that feels demotivating. If you are low in serotonin the depression feels less demotivating, but with a bit of anxiety or restlesness. For low serotonin, there is another OTC supplement you could take but I just don't recall the name of it. I am low on dopamine and SAMe has helped me greatly - I take 400mg in the a.m., on empty stomach. The other one, for low serotonin- it's a serotonin precursor- which you could Google 'serotonin precursor' to find out what that supplement is. Neither one would harm you, but neither should be taken if you are on any prescription antidepressant. You would probably know within a day or so which is the right one for you. For instance, Sam-e lifts my depression right away- I am low on dopamine. If my Son takes SAMe- it makes him feel anxious and restless, so I'm pretty sure his body has enough dopamine, but is low on serotonin. Lots of information online, as well, about taking an OTC supplement like this for depression. In Europe doctors regularly prescribe SAMe for depression rather than the Rx drugs we have here. Oh, it seems to me the serotonin precursor is 5-HTC - yep, pretty sure on that. I did try that one and it made me feel even more dragged out. You can get either one at a health food or vitamin store, or even on Amazon. (Gee, I didn't think about this, writing all this out, but I hope Alex doesn't mind I'm suggesting meds on her channel - yikes! - but I just couldn't not say anything - I was dx'd with MDD 10 years ago - debilitated and in the hospital with it - so it was very serious. Went the whole Prozac route, etc. but took my self off of Prozac after a couple years - then eventually found SAMe (Austrian nurse friend of mine suggested it) GOOD luck to you! Exercise helps alot, also, and a healthy diet (good amount of protein) - also fish oil caps, or some type of EPA supplement to increase your omega-3's O.K. - good luck and take care of yourself! Hope this helps 💜

@Hart Hart - I posted a long comment to you about depression with info I'm hoping can help. But I did not capture your name before starting it, to direct it to you and I'd have lost all the text I'd written to go back and look up your name :/. So, hopefully you can find it - it should be just below this one. 😉

@@barbarafairbanks4578 @Barbara Fairbanks SAM-e can make some people feel crazy, it really depends on your genes. But as you've shown, it can be a life-saver. For me, my severe social anxiety calmed down a huge amount once I started taking zinc. A few days without and I feel crazy. Great to look at what your body is missing and supplement. And 5-HTP is what you were thinking of for serotonin. Sometimes depression is caused by an excess of a neurotransmitter, which is why SSRIs can be very dangerous - if your serotonin is already too high and your body is poor at detoxing it, you'll feel worse on those antidepressants. And if you have the MAO gene defect and take an MAO inhibitor antidepressant? Shiiiit, that is scary territory.

I hope things get easier for you in the coming days 💚

I don't even do that with my concealer. I even use my concealer as my foundation. I don't put it everywhere of course. I just like the finish better.

😂😘

Ready for it.😉✌💜

*insert that kronk meme here*

Right?? That's the most fun part I think. Enhancing our unique features, balancing the things that we want to.. I love having the option, and knowing how! ❤️

I agree....your preferred side is so nicely lifted and unique compared to current trends....just more complimentary overall. I do like the Bratz lip... although i believe it has as much if not more to do with your technical skills than the 'technique'.

I hope you have a snack! 🙌🏼

I liked it too 😊

I prefer that style too! It suits my face better 🥰

Alica...no, I'm with you. in fact I like the whole 'wrong' side better.

Let's trade😭

What??? You actually want my cheeks?

I watched you videos...Girl!! You r perfect!

Interesting I felt like it makes her face look a bit more heavy compared to the other side and almost feels older in a way. I think the highlighter doesn't help as it drags it down too

Ruthtrish - I completely agree - I tried to like her right side better bc all along she said it was the correct 'right way for her face shape - but, no...to me her left side with the rounded cheek and lip look more flattering.

😭🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

🙌🏼

😩❤️❤️❤️

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hope it does help! 🙌🏼❤️

@@AlexandraAnele I think you’re right. That lip technique you initially used on the right side is mad flattering

it´s the same for me, except for the eyeliner, I like for her so much more her slim eyeliner, the overall look for her eyes look so much more light and fresh, in my opinion

😩🙏🏼❤️

Great tips! Thanks!
