MY MUSIC ON KZfaq:

That sneeze at

I love the fact that some face features considered not so attractive like having a wider nose actually makes these women even more attractive. This video made me appreciate what I have more thank you Aly xxx

FNs look great if they have mussed lipstick. I do this by applying the lipstick and then running slightly on the edges. A sharply applied matte liquid lipstick never works for me. Lipstick that looks worn in looks better

Aly, us big nosed girls need you, instagram has almost brainwashed us! Loved you video about lip fillers, can you make a video about does everyone need a rhinoplasty?

Holy cow. 5’9” FN here. That’s literally a distillation of the best-working of the techniques I’ve used for my makeup for decades. It also explains why the very sheer, watery makeup and “no makeup” looks never worked for me. I need some definition to look my best.

As a FN, I go more for 40's make-up: putting the accent on the eyebrows and red lips, but not much on the eyes except mascara. So no eyeshadow.

I'm an FN and for natural day makeup I would always just slap on some neutral shimmer shadows and I'd always find myself hating how it looked. Now I know why! I definitely prefer mattes on myself and now I know I'm 100% sticking to that haha.

Love it! As a flamboyant natural I've always found my makeup looks much better with accentuating the eyes and not the lips, but I never knew why.

I've always wondered why I preferred darker eye looks than all my friends, and hated how sharp liquid liner looked on me even though it was the biggest trend. Now I know why! I can't quite decide if I'm SD or FN so I'm mixing your tips from both videos :D

I think I am flamboyant natural, as I am 5"10 and have length and width. but not the sharpness of dramatic. I can pull off and do opt for more minimalist styles with a kind of relaxed vibe and long line. I will go for a punch of jewelry in larger proportions and layer necklaces in bright gold or silver. I definitely show my super long legs and hip area and shoulders. I can really do the blazer look. I can kind of operate in the dramatic shape, but with natural texture and more ease.

Yesssss I've been waiting for this! So basically deep, matte, natural colors and lots of blending, are the main points. As a FN I never really liked doing lipstick, I always focus on the eyes. Usually I don't spend much time or effort on makeup at all, just powder and mascara, but sometimes I'll do eyeliner and shadow. It's good to know that I don't have to focus on making any kind of shape with the shadows, because I've never been sure of how to do that anyway. Makes it a lot easier to just think of it as blending all over, just making it deep and natural and smoky looking.

Actually now I found out that I was doing all of this before. And I didn't know why I love bolder makeup blended to the bushy brows. I knew that small and precised liner just isn't for me. Same with contrast. I loved having very dark hair becouse it's the opposite of my fair skin tone and washed out green eyes. Also I never applied lipstick normally. I had to blend the lines, even if it was red, or black lipstick. Blend the edges for every color. Thank you for this Ally!

I'm a FN and I always had the sense that my face "can handle" a lot of eye makeup. Geometric looks odd, so I definitely agree on the blending and even crazy colours but always richer and darker even though I am pretty fair. My brows I leave almost uncared for.

Because I am not overly tall, I assumed I was a natural. And I do look good in any natural lines and styles. I’ve always preferred relaxed lines, low slung pants, etc. But it still didn’t quite seem like me. The more I looked into kibbe types the more I realized I am always drawn to the flamboyant natural lines and when I dress that way, all of a sudden my outfit always seems put together even if it’s just the simplest casual wear. What really tipped it over to flamboyant for me was the makeup and hair. This is exactly how I have always preferred to do my makeup and my hair. When you said we don’t look so great with fake eyelashes I started to laugh because I have a drawer full of them. Have tried and tried and tried and augh. Nope. Never mind what type or what techniques, they just always look bizarre on me. Just some very dark and thick mascara on the outsides of my eyes and having my eyebrows nice a strong and bam. I look totally “finished”. And yes, absolutely cannot do the light sparkly eyeshadow. I look totally normal with a smudgy smoky eye focused on the outer edge. It never looks out of place even in the day. And the messier my hair is, the more people comment on how great it looks. When I want to do a full face of makeup or just take it up a notch, I will contour but mostly just my cheeks and forehead, blending it in to the edges of my eyes. It nicely emphasizes the strong bones in my face. I might add a tiny bit of highlight here and there but very little. Everything that just punches up the strength in my bone structure works really well and I don’t need anything else. It can’t be a full face of makeup, i find. Like I can’t do strong eyes, contouring, and a bold lip. I have to pick one and usually the emphasis is on my eyes and my strong cheekbones. I rarely wear blush, but instead use a softer bronzer with a hint of pink. I have been tempted to cut my hair so many times and have gotten a pixie cut a few times. Ya, no. It never ever really works. My hair has to be long with layers that make it go a little bit wild. When I curl it, it has to be almost haphazard. Anything too restrained just looks so off. It all needs to be bold, free, easy, relaxed. Everything in me just wants something to be strong. Bold. I don’t wear mych jewelry and again I have to pick one - either earrings or a necklace. I can’t do both. And if i wear a necklace it has to be big and bold. Delicate chains look ridiculous on me. Earrings are usually quite large or irregularly shaped. Natural styles are just too soft for me somehow. These are the final touches that can really solidify your type if youre not sure. When it all comes together, wow. It’s fantastic and it feels like you’ve finally come home to yourself. It also explains why even though I don’t look like Cindy Crawford, when I was growing up whenever I would see her it felt like I was looking at myself. The details are different but the proportions and lines and the strong bold features and that sense of her being powerful and strong … that is what resonated with me. Looking back, I wasn’t really that cognizant of it because i wasn’t all that into fashion, when I did look for inspiration it was always her looks and they always looked good on me. My mom kept trying to get me to dress like Grace Kelly for some odd reason. She was convinced I had a classic hourglass figure but NOTHING in those lines looked good on me. And I literally felt like I was being strangled lol. As soon as I untucked my shirt and pulled my pants down onto my hips … I felt like myself. And it looked better by far. I hated having my hair up or cut into a short bob. As soon as I was old enough to do what I wanted with my hair, I grew it out and either had it up in a messy ponytail or just flying free. Bold and strong yet natural and relaxed seems to be the key ingredient mix for us FN’s.

I'm a FN with Light Summer coloring. That gets quite confusing in both makeup and style: as we (FNs) are not supposed to wear anything too light/airy/pastel/light/washed out, and yet those are basically my colors. Still working on finding that balance!

Thank you! Would like to add some tips, but as a FN I can only confirm that you pretty much covered all of it. Maybe worth emphasising, is the importance of blending well on the eyes. I've personally found that for the cat-eye look, very dark brown eye shadow applied with a slanted brush works better than stark black liquid liner.

I wear a TON of mascara, dark eye shadow (when I feel like it), and PILES of bronzer. I have learned that my brows are much better bushy. For years, I felt totally out of place in the beauty space...until bushy brows came back! Thank you for these videos. You have helped me accept my type of beauty! 😉

I’m a flamboyant natural and I definitely learned the hard whay that light eyeshadows NEVER look good on me😂 It makes me look older and pale
