I got my earrings on Etsy! I literally find the cutest most unique jewelry there 🙌🏼💜
yep, i do too, so true
I buy most of my jewelry on Etsy too. In particular, I buy a lot of vintage jewelry, especially Scandinavian midcentury modern jewelry pieces.
Can you do a video on how best to apply and make lipstick look good for those with very thin lips? I have a super thin upper lip and struggle and it doesn’t look good to over line much outside of the natural lip line.
YES! I buy all my earrings and body piercing jewelry on Etsy!! Endless options and so affordable. I agree with the lip liner making all the difference! I never just throw on a lipstick without lining the way you did! Even if it's a almost no color lip balm, liner makes a huge difference. I loved that first color with liner on you!
Thank you for answering my unasked question about your earrings. :))
You’re like one of the realest beauty CZcamsrs. You seem to really see makeup as an art, and like teaching people how to properly do makeup to where it will suit their face shapes. Every other beauty CZcamsr seems like they make videos because they have to, like it’s just a job and they’re on the clock waiting to go home. I like that you genuinely seem to enjoy teaching people, and I like that, because no one does tutorials anymore; it’s always sponsored videos and products, people always trying to sell us stuff.
YES!!!!
Couldn't agree more, you took the words right out of my mouth! Love her so much!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
FYCK YEAHH
yES alex is literally one of the only people i watch for not even just makeup, but entertainment (love the facial expressions and casual convo) and education. plus the video titles are great LOL
you’re the difference between a Makeup Artist and a youtuber who’s just good at putting makeup on their own face
THIS. She’s amazing ! 😍
Yes! A true makeup artist
This is a vital, go-to technique for black women for the longest. When I first got into makeup, I thought the only lipsticks I could ever wear were dark. Lighter lipsticks were typically too bright/ashy & not flattering, so I assumed they weren’t made for us. My mom and aunts taught me the lipliner trick and it changed the game for me - nothing was off limits from there :)
Lipliner has historically been a staple in Latina makeup looks as well
Yes, I remember when this look became popular in the mainstream in the 90s, some people discussed how it was "inspired" by Latina style and "hip-hop" style. I'm using scare quotes to acknowledge that was the way people talked about it at the time, before ideas about appropriation were really part of the conversation. I think every white girl I knew had a MAC Spice lipliner.
And in South Asia for decades! Bollywood always did this for defined pretty lips
100%! I'm mixed latina and I was never able to wear lipstick my fully white friends could wear without it looking light, even if it was darker than my natural lips. the moment i got my hands on liner i haven't gone back!
I was about to comment something similar! To me this seemed like a modern take on the chola lips 👄
I notice you often only apply makeup to the area you’re talking about specifically. im not distracted by other bright shades on other parts of the face and it helps a lot!
I am so grateful you don't filter your videos. It gives a much better representation of what the makeup actually looks like.
I was really expecting a bright neon pink when you were talking about how pink the product was ha ha
I'd love to see a video on bold colored lips actually!
She does have one from about 7 months ago ... but we'd always love a new one, too!
lol same
Since you taught me how to contour my lips I dont want lip fillers anymore so… THANK YOU! ❤️
What’s the video?!?!
I never learned makeup when I was young (wrong puberty) and I have found most CZcams tutorials to be frustratingly difficult to follow. I felt like I could actually understand this, and focusing on one topic at a time (lips, brows, contouring) keeps me from getting overwhelmed by having all this new info getting thrown at me. I've been looking for something like this for more than a year, I'm so excited to check out your other videos!
I love both looks personally. The first (the flat colour) looks a bit more youthful to me, so I think it’s down to preference. Still a great video! I will definitely try to contour my lips next time
I would say the same. I like the first one, provided that it stays on and does not blur.
@@DorotaGabal ikr! Samee
I was going to say the same! The non lined lips read younger, fresher. Definitely more of that “clean girl” make up trend. Or even K beauty trends where the lips kind of look like water colored on.
A tip for pale skinned ladies, if you have fair skin and cool undertones (my undertone is almost grayish) you can use an eyebrow pencil for blondes. They are usually grayish.
My lips have almost no pigment towards the edges so i always line my lips whether or not i’m gonna use a lipstick. If you find the perfect color you don’t even have to apply lipstick because it looks sooo natural.
Another option i have is the essence eye pencil in the shade hot chocolate. It’s not exactly the right shade but it’s very creamy and super easy to blend.
If i don’t wanna wear lipstick but i still want my lips to look fuller&healthier (because i have very little pigment in my lips, i look dead lol) i place small dots on the edges of my lips with this pencil and blend them together&inwards with a tiny brush. It seperates my lip color from my skin tone, and since all the pigment i have on my lips are concentrated in the inner center part of my lips, my lips automatically look darker overall even though i don’t have any lipstick on.
Just wanted to share in case some of you are having the same problem :)
Thank you for sharing, those sound like great tips!
Thank you so much for this
love you because you’re so calm and get straight to the point 😍😍
Ikr! ❤
Your explanations on the WHY in your videos is so helpful. You’re not just showing us what to do but explaining why you’re doing it. 😊
Yes! That is exactly why I love Alex so much.
I hate the contrast between the dark liner and the lighter lipstick shade. However, I totally agree with the concept of using a line to contour, perfect, and ground your lipstick
I agree. I couldn’t understand why she felt that way about the dark liner, or perhaps I’d like it if the lining was slimmer.
Perhaps ot looks good in the mirror but doesn't work as well on camera. Or she might have applied more for the studio lighting
I've always used some kind of lip liner, unless it's just a gloss day. But, unlike every other element of my make up, lips just don't last. Eating, drinking, talking, etc. To rebuild multiple layers on such a moving target is too much for my regular days.
`Have you tried a lipstick sealer? I use Lip Jacket and it works on everything but straight gloss. It does a pretty good job of keeping the color on my lips and very little transfer for several hours. You can't put anything over top of it though, so for any re-touches you have to wipe everything off and start over. I would not recommend LipChick or Model In A Bottle. I order Lip Jacket from the UK for about 9 bucks. 😉
exactly, this is advice for like a photoshoot or something, definitely not regular daily wear
I just saw a "hack" about lining your lips with lip stain. Perhaps that would work.
I use liners and stains. I don't really bother with lipstick much because it's gone so fast.
.
I always use a lip liner and then I go over the top lip with the cinnamon dreams elf lip gloss stain; moisturizing lasts extremely well and the shade is a perfect lining shade for medium brown girls
This! I actually just discovered this whole concept in Sephora about a week ago. Was trying to find the perfect shade of brown lipstick for me & we tried probably about 15 different products. Turned out I needed a nude/brown liner with a tiny bit of a pinker shade in the middle. Once I tried this combo, the lip color was more flattering than any of the products we sampled and still looked like a lovely shade of brown for my skin tone. Makeup magic ✨
I'm definitely going to try this! I have very pink tones in my skin, so finding s brown lipstick is so hard since they always look out of place. I gotta try this soon
Damn. I love your theory/insight/“DUDE”/“BRO” videos. Tempted to make a visual chart of yr concepts to refer to at my vanity. 💋💟
Also just sorted my lipliners because of this video
I knooooooow, I want a visual chart too! It's my one issue with CZcams, I do better with a one image reminder.
I'm glad you said "a mix of your eyebrow shade and your blush." I knew exactly what to do after that. First the MUFE pencil in Boundless Berry, then work in the MUFE pencil in Endless Cacao. Perfection! It'll be my new lip sculpting routine!
I literally have spent the last 3 days in multiple different stores searching for a nude lipstick that works for me because nothing ever looks like it suits me....how do you always know exactly what things your viewers need help with!! Thank you thank you
I don't know exactly how true this is, but I once heard that finding the perfect number shade for you is to match the color of your areolas, nips. Obviously it's a bit hard to match that in store, but hopefully that points you in a better color direction for you.
I recently discovered mac modesty and it's a perfect nude for me. I so wish I'd found it sooner!
@@chamclowder1231 hahahah! That is so strange but also kind of makes sense!
@@chamclowder1231 lol! I love this comment so much. Gonna have to surreptitiously try to areola color-match 😝💋
@@chamclowder1231 i wished this worked for me but my nips are super light so i’d straight up have pinkish concealer lips 😭
I need more adjectives. The English language just doesn't have enough descriptors to express how freaking awesome you are!!!! You keep it real, easily explain the product and/or application/use. You don't slam products or brands in an inappropriate way. You are the real deal. Straightforward. So knowledgeable and helpful. So inspiring and creative!!! You literally make me feel like I can create anything on the canvas that is my face. Dude, just thanks. ✌🏼💚🙏🏼
I do sort of a reverse version of this! Most of my lipsticks are a bit too dark and muted for me, so I pop a brighter and more reddish shade in the middle, which creates a really similar look to what you achieved :)
Yes I do the same thing basically using a lighter shade in the center and it makes the darker lip appear much softer and flattering
I used to do this in the 90s and I actually prefer the more “boring” solid lip now, but I still watched this in it’s entirety because these videos are so well done 😍 her voice, her technique, her explainations are all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And it’s fun to get a different perspective; beauty is not universal.
Thanks for this technique! I have relatively thin lips, and some lipsticks just seem to make them disappear. It also will come in handy when this brown girl uses a not-so-perfect nude.
You have a unique face :)
Everything big is going out of style anyways
Natural is deff better :)
I am fair skinned and very blond. My entire life people have told me I needed to wear more makeup (grrrrr...not their business.lol) but I somehow have come across your video's and I am amazed. I used to feel like I looked like a clown when I wore more make up. Like for rilllllssss...you have changed everything for me SO THANK YOU🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 plus you are so adorable and I love the way you speak...i sound the same 😝😉😉😉. You are perfect and so beautiful and love your style...ok enough. But seriously my makeup has changed and it's like I have discovered a new world of how to look.
This is incredibly helpful. I've got more lip colors kicking around that don't work for me than do, but using this trick over the last week has made them so much more workable! I'm super pale olive (less warm leaning than Alex) and NYX Nude Truffle has made pinks and reds actually work for me. I already had it around, but had only been pairing it with browns!
I gave up trying to find a lip liner than works for my olive skin. Everything goes clown-like: orange or pink. It took me, oh… 30 years to figure it out; I just use muted olive green eyeliner. Taupe if I’m especially pale. It works beautifully.
I had the same problem and found the best lip liner ever shade i use for everything : nyx mahogany. I a very fair olive skin but even if i tan it is still perfect been doing this for years. Now i also tried a few days ago nyx mauve lip liner and its fantastic!!!!!! Love it for my olive skin. Let me know if u try it
See, I would be scared to do that since some eyeliners have ingridients you really shouldn't eat since they aren't meant to be used on the mouth, so I probably would have dug around until I found a decent green lip liner. (They do exist now, I've seen them, I just tend to favor purple or bluish purple liners along with some cooler greys since I'm insanely cool toned.)
I figure if it’s safe for the eyes and waterline, it’s safe on the outer areas of the lips. No idea though, it’d be interesting to see a chemist or dermatologist’s opinion!
I recommend trying Nyx lipliner in the shade Munchies
Wow! I'm a 59 year old woman this makes so much sense to me. I've been trying to always match my liner to my favorite red lipstick. With learning these tricks, I may even try lighter colors and play to try to match me. This is really kicking up your lip game. Thanks so much for the time you give to this. What a huge difference! 🌹🌹🌹
I came back here to say that this video changed my lip makeup skills (and beliefs) forever. I recently found an old NEON pink lipstick that has always made me look like a clown, and decided to try it again with a dark mauve liner *just to see*
It was transformed into a hot and HIGHLY wearable look. I'm astounded. I'm actually excited to wear this lipstick now.
You're the best makeup channel on here hands down and I love and respect you beyond.
When my mom was teaching me make up, she’s a total tomboy and was a hair stylist and nail artist for decades, and I was a girly girl so I started young. But this is exactly what she taught me! To contour lips with lip liner, except I would use a shade a touch darker but same kind of color as my lipstick. I love how you explain how you can use a neutral shade that matches our skin tone for that effect.
You are the only makeup channel I can watch. Thank you for acting like a normal person and offering what are essentially art lessons 🙌🏽
You know I went into this being that person who's like "my lipstick doesn't feather, don't need lipliner." The only time I really used lipliner was for nude looks. I even thought when you just used the lipstick it looked good and couldn't tell why you hated it so much. But then you showed the before and after and I'm like...ahhh it does work better with the look. Granted, I can't tell if that's because I'm so used to seeing you with lipliner, that when you didn't use it, I looked off. Or if the lipliner just looks better full stop. But I'll try this and use my lipliner with more than my clear lipgloss lol
Yeah when she first applied the lipstick by itself I thought it looked good and couldn’t see why she hated it but then when she showed the side by side I was like damn it does look bad and the lipliner trick does look wayyy better
I think you just explained and solved what I struggle most with when putting on lipstick!! Thank you!!
This has been a necessity for MANY POC to get colors to work for YEARS. Happy it's being shared to a larger audience but I find it funny since this is just something I grew up with in the 90s.
I love how chill your videos are. CZcams can be so over stimulating. You come in with cool calm collected and actually teach us some thangs! Thank yoouuu
the side by side comparisons were SO essential, the difference is really surprising!
I love how calm and educational this is. Love!
Your videos are always so informative and digestible. I’m not particularly good with makeup so I really appreciate that you always explain and show things simply/without dragging explanations out so they’re confusing 😂🌷
I found your channel thanks to your brothers content. How nice it is to have siblings equally as cool as each other 😆
You give us these a-ha moments over and over again!!! 😍 This was super helpful, thank you soooo much
This felt like a cheat sheet for me because we have the same skin tone! I love your videos - so educational! Thank you!!!
Super helpful!! Looks great with the liner to give depth. I agree, I've always thought of lip liner in maybe the "wrong" way, and this shift in perspective is mind-blowingly dope
I love that you get straight to the point. You and Goss are the only makeup artists I follow.
You have the chilliest vibe and comforting energy. My lawd!
Love all your tips!
I love these videos from you, Alex. You’re very good at breaking things down and explaining what to do. Plus you’re adorable, always. Thank you!
One of the very few makeup CZcamsrs that create comfy safe space tutorials 🙌🏻 thank you so much for this
Yes yes yes please!! I need all of these lipstick tutorials!! I completely stay away from wearing ANYTHING on my lips at all because of exactly what you said, I put on one colour and hate how it looks 😩 I will be running out tomorrow to buy a few liners and a blending brush to try this. Thank you 🤩
I love your thought process behind everything, it's very helpful
This is the most useful makeup video I've ever seen on YT. Thank you!!!
Girl, this is exactly what I needed. Excellent content as always!! Gorgeous ❤️
Wow what a difference! I am excited to try this tomorrow. You explained and demonstrated this so well. You make me excited to wear makeup again. 💜
Love this!! Great tutorial!
watching this video made my love my natural lip liners. thank you !
Thank you, I absolutely needed this video.
I love that you do not use vid filters and we see your natural skin texture. It is really honest and your skin is beautiful!
Awesome tips❤
You came up in suggested and it is helpful!
Cool information! Love this
Thank you!! Beautiful!!
I’ve watched cosmetics videos for years but you always teach me new techniques. Thanks 😊
I love, love, love your channel! All of your videos are enough informative and explaining a lot of things. Hovewer, my lips are anatomically framed as it was a contouring game, so I don't need to follow any other options. But I was pretty excited to see more features from you!
Man this is excellent content. Thank you!
Wow, your complexion looks flawless. This is what I am always trying for with my make up.
This was so helpful, thank you!!
I LOVE YOU! i love the fact that you get directly to the subject without wasting time and you don t use those annoying songs in the background
first lipstick looked good with the liner, second lipstick looked better without the liner tbh
This is some great advice, thank you! Also I love your voice and your way of talking, it's so calming 💜
Love this video! Can’t wait to try this!
I really love your channel. I always want to do my makeup after looking at your videos! Your advise and tricks are so informative, and it actually makes my makeup look better! Thank you!🥰
YESS!!! I've been struggling with this and I didn't understand what I was doing wrong! Thank youuu worked like a charm, so simple, so effective!
Girl I love your videos. I am a novice when it comes to makeup so I’m always looking for ways to level up my whole makeup game and your work is so helpful!
Thank you again for adding this video one of my most basic frustrations my lips not getting that completed look. Your a gem.
I love the pink lipstick on you!! 😍
Alexandra is by far the best CZcamsr for makeup. Feels like she’s one of the few who still makes tutorials. Keep it up girl, this is what I miss watching!
This is one of the best tips I've ever heard! I always thought that you needed to get matching lip liners with every lipstick! And I definitely have lipstick colours that I want to wear and feel should look good with my skin tone but then they look strange, so I don't wear them. I'm 100% trying this technique!
Your skin is so beautiful! 💜
Loved this video! So helpful! Another thing that is super useful when it comes to picking flattering lip colours is learning about seasonal colour analysis. Once I learnt about my colour season it made picking flattering make up much easier! It expands on the idea of warm vs cool.
I love your earrings!! ✨️ But also, ugh I just love your hair so much! It seems effortless to style! Please Alex do an updated video all about your hair & what all you can do with it! 😩 & this video was very helpful! I'm definitely going to pick up some shades that you recommend!
I just learned something new, thank you so much!!
You're the only make-up artist I watch. You're honest, funny, and I really trust you with any topic! I'd like to learn more about make-up, I don't wear it so much on a regular base, but I love seeing practical and new tricks!
Hey, thanks for the eyebrow pencil/lipliner hack ❤
Wow! The difference is amazing! You’ve inspired me to up my lipstick game!
Your videos are so educational. I never did my makeup before and now I look forward to try new things and perfect my technique. Thank you!
Thank you for this tip! I love wearing lipstick but I have so much to learn. I am definitely going to try this.
Amazing tip! Never heard of using lip liner this way. Back to the 90s, yay!💜
This was so insightful and helpful! Thank You🙏😊
i did not think any of the lipsticks looked anything less than amazing even before you liplined them. But this trick may be useful to get every lipcolour to suit me. Dying to try it! I'd love if you could do something on pigmented lips although I guess that's not a problem you have.
Definitely makes the color pop and yes, your lip looks more structured
Thanks for the details on what color to pick and how to use it. I've been a bit confused when it comes to picking colors.
I appreciate your perspective and a approach to makeup so much ,so I love when I already instinctively do some of the techniques you talk about. It’s like a pat on the back lol
This is completely brilliant. I'm so thankful for all the knowledge you give with all the reasoning behind stuff. For me this is the best way to learn ❤️
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I’ve struggled with lip liner color and this was pretty helpful. Thanks for doing what you do and the way you do it.
really enjoy the relaxed way you do your video
Wow this is probably one of the best tips I’ve heard in a long time! The lip liner makes your lip look sooo much better wow
Ohhh thats how it works! Thank you so much! Learned a lot and feel more comfortable now
This is EXACTLY the tutorial I was looking for! I have that pencil and I love it! Thank you so much ❤
Love this! I’m going to try this. I’m sort of a lip liner skipper. I don’t even spend that much time on my lips. I really like it on you and really see the difference!
Thank you so much. No one explains things this clearly. I have been searching for someone who is clear and honest; takes the time to explain things and this is it🙌🏾😊
I've been watching beauty videos on CZcams for years but this video has been an actual game changer. The concept of lip liner as structuring your lips is actually brilliant.
Watch any Black makeup CZcamsr from the dawn of time. It's how lipstick gets adjusted for dark skin when nothing else is available
@@divachiquita714 it’s actually crazy reading these comments full of a specific group of women “discovering” the purpose of lip liner😂
Wooooooow such a huge difference! Gonna try it out! Thank u
I love your eyebrow shape. It is beautiful on you.!!🤎🤎🤎
I just actively avoided the shortened one on IG so I could come here to watch the full thing LOL ugh you're amazing
duuuude I’ve been wanting more guidance for lip lining. THANK UUU
