    Finally a TRUE makeup ARTIST!! As a certified MUA for over a decade, it is so nice to see a YT actually talk about real tips. I stopped watching tutorials years ago because it all became cookie cutter; same products, same placements for contour/highlight, etc. No one was discussing different skin types, eye shapes, face shapes.. I was becoming so frustrated because I felt like the art and knowledge of it was being lost. You have restored my faith. You are incredible!!

      Be wary of anyone who is just saying what other CZcamsrs say ... is only able to put makeup on their own face (watch James Charles fall apart when trying to put makeup on Jenna Marbles) ...and IMMEDIATELY tries to cash in of pseudostardom from CZcams success based on contrived drama. I mean, if that's your thing, go ahead and watch the channel, but don't take any of the advice or put stock in them knowing what they're talking about. DEFINITELY don't give them your money.
      Very few people on CZcams are worth learning from as far as the beauty and fashion industries. They are simply very practiced at doing their own makeup so they look like they're good at makeup application, and they are either giving you info on what works for them (which has nothing to do with what's best for you) or they are being paid to tell you something (which also has nothing to do with what's best for you).

Your explanations, simple techniques and calming voice doesn’t stress me out.

I’m 52 and just kept doing the same type of barebones makeup for decades, until a few years ago I decided I really wanted to learn to do fancy eyeshadow and contouring etc. I’ll just say that you need to practice a lot, I had totally underestimated that part. But don’t get discouraged because you WILL eventually figure it out, it just takes a little while but creators like Alexandra make it fun and achievable. I love doing makeup looks every day now.

    Something i just wanted to share with you

.I started watching your videos roughly 3-4 months ago. Gone through many videos in your collection because i really enjoy how you present yourself and your approach to makeup. I’m 53 and you are one of the only younger MUA’s i watch because i find your content to be ageless for the most part. You explain your thoughts and processes very well and in very easy to understand descriptions and then your visuals to make us really understand is Top Notch! You provide so much useful information and then a bit of fun and showing off your artistic abilities to round out the fun. đŸ„°đŸ€“
    Also your down to earth personality is so appealing and refreshing. Other MUA’s on YT might have skills and knowledge but the over the top excitement about EVERYTHING gets a bit annoying to be honest. IMHO.
    I just really wanted to let you know that you are very good at the content you make, your knowledge is awesome and your personality is the type i really connect to. And my the number of subscribers, I know I’m not the only one. All the best, always
.and more, more, more videos! Lol. Thank you

    This is soooo helpful. Others would just show you how they do it, without properly explaining everything + with horrible studio lights that blur out imperfections/I can't even see what they're doing. đŸ˜« Your video has it all - clear explanation, good lighting & close-ups, and great pacing! Absolutely in love with the result. Thanks, Alex! You never miss with these types of tutorials ❣

I can’t handle this layers, I do moisturizer, concealer, a powder foundation, cream blush, eyeshadow, liner, curl lashes, mascara, lipliner, lipgloss. That’s it. It takes 5 minutes!
