@@SimranMohite-r1d When she was talking about how dark grey is a shade not a colour, and everyone looks good in it. Plus, it's a known fact that everyone looks good in black, so this explanation (it's a shade not colour) makes so much sense
TIP for shade matching while shopping. Use your phone camera and turn on a black and white filter. Then compare your arm with the item of clothing. They should be the same shade of grey.
I actually tested some eyeshadows while watching videos and i would put over them white samo of them didn't look that great so I turned black white light blue was perfect match and while swaching it look the best pink was a little bit too light and that is why i thought it was off purple was too dark I am like 80% neutra l am a little bit warmer but I can wear and silver and gold and cool and warm colours so it really works try it I was impressed since with makeup I looked great but without it I didn't now I know why
I just discovered her but I feel she is really similar to Aly Art. Aly is also really appreciative of every physical appearance and she teaches similar things. She just has more videos on these topic.
@@ducklingscap897 if you didn't make the same comment already then someone else literally wrote Alexandra & Aly Art are the only creators ( on the internet/UA-cam)..So now I have to look up Aly Art!
Meanwhile there are “influencers” charging 22 dollars for a shitty editing your photos course that teaches nothing. THIS is real instruction. Thank you!!
@@peggedyourdad9560 some people need to be held accountable for their actions, so yeah, they should be bashed. This toxic positive vibe has to end. That UA-camr made a "stupid" course. You can clearly see she didn't put effort in it... Just look at Alexandra's videos and make a comparison.
people get offended when someone says “that looks great with your skin tone” but they do have a point, skin tone is a huge factor when it comes to if a piece of clothing looks good or not
It all depends on the contacts. No were in this video does she say “you shouldn’t wear a color” which is a big distinction when you’e talking about what could naturally look good with your skin tone
I actually felt sad when this video ended, I don’t think any other UA-camr could make me feel this way. Your content is just so high quality and informational.
As an artist, I always love how she’s able to learn and educate herself on things like color theory and always be spot on. She does a wonderful job of dissecting how color theory affects the appearance of clothing on a person, allowing a person who came to video not knowing anything about color theory to have a decently strong grasp on the subject as a whole. It’s so refreshing to find someone who takes the time and effort to *properly* understand types of concepts, like color theory, which take experience and *time* to understand. It’s so admirable; I love you so much Alexandra
@Adashelby i also alter many things i buy. also, if its 'easy' to alter an item and not a really big effort to do, i go for clothing items that i really want even if they dont fit me perfectly. cutting pants, tailor shirts etc.
Her videos are ahead of time. Social media is obsessed with color theory now, but she understood the concept and taught us years back. Love her for who she is and never gatekeep anything from her viewers. I watched this video multiple times. But when I watch it every time to refresh the concept, it blows my mind like I watch it for the first time. Every small details matter. This video is over flowing with a lot of small details.
I don’t think everyone appreciates enough how much effort she puts into literally every shot in her video’s!!! It’s so good, woow😱 I’m blown away, you make the best fashion video’s❤️
Maybe I just got the ball rolling early or maybe sense I'm a guy I don't have as many color choices, but shouldn't people in middle school have figured out how colors work and not someone in their 20's? 😂 it kind of blows my mind, like great video and maybe it is for a younger audience to make it easier for them but I'd like to see if anybody else figured out colored clothes/skin matching early on?

"I always want the why." This is how everything in life should be approached. This video made me consider things that I had never thought of before. Very eye-opening.
India always has a very strong tailoring culture and most importantly this helps women in not sizing every part of the body down to something and get conscious about it..I never think about my sizes when I wear something tailored from scratch and trust me this makes me so peaceful.
A lot of what she spoke about I learned in art school, however I never really applied all that color theory to my wardrobe. Honestly I was surprised how good this video is, and how well she knows her stuff. Good job!
your comment has just made it makes sense for me why people say artists and art historians dress well: it's bc they're constantly exposed to and considering colour and learn how to work it to their advantage (along with style, etc.)
As a fellow art student, did it bother you at all that she used the term "shade" instead of "value"? I'm not smashing the video contents at all, it was a great video! I love the contents and information. Just curious if you felt this way too 😊
I’ve watched the video three times and I’m still confused. My complexion is clear, undertone warm. I need to wear warm bright colors according to my clear complexion but according to my skin color in the shade (value) theory I need to wear light colors aka pastels which is so confusing. Can someone explain?
YES to understanding the WHY! 1. Lighting, 2. Shade of pigment, 3. Skin Undertones (Cool, Neutral, & Warm), 4. Complexion (Contrast of hair & skin) You should consider doing image consulting for youth (teens & tweens) to help gals start early build beautifying closets & not wasting their resources. Also for adults.
So I would love to see your take on jewelry: gold, silver, rose gold, copper, bronze, colored stones, size of jewelry..... etc. in respect to shade, clear and soft. Thanks! You've given me a lot to consider... and I like that! :D
Yes yes yes! I find rose gold blends into my skin, gold brings my skin out but not if it's too yellow, and silver is just neutral? I might be wrong. I dont understand my undertone lol
2 years later I’m watching this video again and I just wanted to say the thing about tailoring is so helpful. It wasn’t uncommon before but now with all the fast fashion, people forget to buy good quality clothes and get them tailored to fit. I’ve recently got into sewing and alter my own clothing. They aren’t perfect but It’s so much fun to turn a piece in the back of my closet that I never wear into something wearable
I just did a funny thing! I googled "celebrities wearing the same outfit" and showed them to my boyfriend to choose which one looks better. IT PERFECTLY ALIGNS WITH YOUR THEORIES!!!!
Getting a professional color analysis takes this topic even further. I had a color analysis last year and as a winter, I look amazing in cool, blue-based icy, bright, and deep colors. I have donated the remaining warm-toned clothes last year and finally have a wardrobe that effortlessly coordinates.
Where did you get your color analysis done? I am new to this type of thinking, and would enjoy receiving more great advice to streamline the learning process! Thank you for your time! 🎉
@@bienvenidos5130 I'm not sure, but the simpliest way to find out which color scheme suits you best is to use a filter in tiktok which has a little frame with colors of each season. and you will see which ones suit your face and skin better! i hope that helps a little
N K yES finally 😭 I wanted someone to have a realization like I did because it’s just something you can detect but like not put your finger on💕 now you can shop more in line with your natural beauty🥰🥰
So I think it would be really cool if you included “homework” for us. Like a document that had us choosing between soft and clear, etc. like the main lessons in the video. We could do that on our own to practice and then look at another document you’ve provided with the answers. Just a suggestion! I know it would at least help me apply your advice. Thanks so much for the vids 💕
Lmao same I'm watching for the second time because the next time I'm going shopping will be the exam and I'm afraid to fail good luck I have all quarantine
This was amazing!! So tired of hearing lighting makes a huge difference but never hearing what difference it actually makes. As someone who always looks for the “why” behind everything this video was insanely helpful!!
It’s really disrespectful that this is free, like I don’t have to pay for this absolutely life changing video?!? Like girl you need all the coins for this. I can’t get over this video, so informative
bbxxbb not really 1m views give 2000-5000 dollars and most her vids are in the thousands views although she deserves millions of views for the effort she puts in
@@shartiquecrump2940 I guess she only uploads when she feels it is absolutely necessary, or when she has a really good idea for a video. That is admirable because most UA-camrs just upload regularly to please their audience and they may not care as much about the quality of their videos, while she uploads only when she has something really interesting to share.
Watching this video has seriously been a game-changer. Knowing which colors/shades work best on me has resulted in me shopping smarter (and less, thus saving money, because now my online shopping is no longer “hit or miss” but more successful!!). I always knew colors made a difference, but this video truly made me understand how to specifically apply “the science of color” to myself specifically. Thank you SO MUCH for spelling this out, Alexandra! Your visual examples were truly so helpful. I regularly get compliments on the “bold colors” that I wear and I feel the BEST I’ve ever felt in what I wear. Thank you!
She put a lot of work into this video. Aly Art has a number of videos about color theory and applying it to ourselves which is pretty informative as well.
She's so wonderful and I love her energy. Also very high quality content. You can tell it is really meant to help rather than mindlessly collect likes. Such a great inspiration Thank you 😊
I have heard that one test is jewelry: if silver looks more complimentary, then you're cool toned, and if gold looks better, than you are warm toned. Look past any ruddiness you may have. Use somewhere unconventional, like your knee, rather than your face or neck if you can.
This was so so amazing and it changed how I look at styling yourself. I already had a passion for the mental and emotional side of style, so this was fuel to the flame!!! I really really hope you make more of this series
I feel like you're a big sister and it's really, really healthy for me to listen to your advice. I am a trauma survivor and thus never experienced true womanhood. I hid in my clothes, because I was full of deeply rooted shame and self-hate. I took what was convenient and cheap, since I never thought I'd deserve otherwise. I never bothered to look at shape or colour, because I was convinced I wasn't capable of anything, including finding things that flattered me. My point is - you are having an even greater impact than you think. Thank you so much for empowering and inspiring us! You are a wonderful human being.
Sending so much love to you, how brave you are to write this wonderful comment. I would love to see you in something what makes you celebrate yourself with these tips! If you feel comfortable, please show! I'm sure you're worth a lot more than hiding.
You are valuable and worth being loved. You are wonderful and brave. You are as strong as a lion and as beautiful as a gazelle. Always keep that in mind.
your comment made me emotional 🥺 i’m glad her advice is healthy to you, it is for me as well! you just feel so much better listening to her. i had a bit of a mental breakdown last night and immediately turned to her just to build back up my confidence. it’s nice to know that she has that same impact on you and others. i’m rooting for you and very proud of you for redefining your womanhood 💞
I learned this info a few years ago and it's so good to hear it again. Soft/Clear was explained to me in the terms muted/high contrast. Colors are important but matching your contrast is more so for me. I'm muted or soft and if I look in the mirror and see the clothes before my features, I know that they are too high contrast for me. Color, for me is secondary because I can wear most colors as I have neutral light skin and almost neutral blond hair. I'm 57 and as a person gets older especially, you want to see the person first and not the clothes. Clothes should compliment the person not the other way around. Which is why you should wear make up that compliments you and not to match your clothes. Thanks for this video. People should go through their closets and watch it again and again.
Queen went away for months to thoroughly research about fashion and the science behind it to deliver this informative video. Welcome back and my deepest appreciations!
Thank you!! I came on searching for why clear colors looks so beautiful on my warm skin color. Pastels look blah and deep crisp colors makes my shin pop. I call them “true colors” and earth tones like emerald green make me look so rich. Bright red and peach does this too. So I came on to do what you did and rid my closet of what doesn’t work for me. I agree the right colors make ppl look vibrant and alive. Thank you for really doing the homework ❤️
I'm omw to wearing mostly black I'm still buying color. I'm going to stop myself from buying bright colors. I love them on the rack but when I put them on I'm like no too bright 🤦🏼
I don’t know how my fingers just urge me to hit the like button even before watching a second of your video.It’s just that your an amazing influencer and your work is flawless
I think that when you're wearing your best colors you look as if the clothes are a part of you, not blending in but it's like they came with you and were designed just for you just like your hair and eye color. of course there's value in looking the opposite way but I love seeing that effect 🥰
This video is amazing, but I'd like to add something regarding soft/clear styling for women who wear hijabs or headwraps in general. If you have trouble identifying if you are soft or clear because you don't show your hair, just know that you pretty much can choose (but still follow some ground rules!). If your hijab/tichel/headwrap contrasts with your skin, you can still apply the same rules that Alexandra mentioned and opt for more clear pieces. If you wear a neutral headpiece with less contrast, you might want to wear soft clothing. However, it is also important to ensure that the colors you choose coincide with your skin temperature wise, because fabrics so close to your face, the focal point of your body, can drastically enhance or muddle your features. Also, keep your eye/eyebrow colors in mind when choosing. I have neutral-warm medium-to-dark skin, close to Jackie Aina's complexion, and I also have dark eyebrows and eyes. If I were to show my hair, I would have a soft complexion. I carry out this philosophy when choosing headscarves by wearing dark brown or warm colored hijabs. However, I can pull off clear-colored clothing if I wear a black hijab for example, but just make sure that the rest of your outfit is consistent with this and still compliments your undertone. These tips still can work for you!!
wow Thank you SOOO much for this comment. I always wear black or navy blue scarf since I feel like it brings out my complexions and my clothing is black, white and some shades of blue. It can be confusing, but this made it easier
This seriously was life changing for me.... opened my eyes to a new perspective. I had heard of warm/ cool color tones and dressing for your skin tone, even saw people selling their own color swatch opinions for cool/ warm tones (making me think I needed to bring the whole thing with me while out shopping) but NEVER had I ever heard someone say WHY those colors. Why that exact color when there’s so many different tones?! Also, never heard of the clothes being the same shade!! What??!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you!!!!
“Maybe alittle trendy sneaker action, athleisure wear mostly and I didn’t even care to do my hair” me💀 Alexandra done called me out AND my sneaker addiction
Me: *likes fashion videos that explain how to look good* Also me: *still dresses plain and with no fashion sense* Also, also me: *doesn't understand anything about fashion but still tries*
shut the duck up dont feel bad im 26 and dress plain white or black crop tops, tees, or bodysuits and jeans and shorts and i dont do patters because i have alot of tattoos.
Inspo theory: 2:50 *Take all photo for inspo with a grain of salt cause the lighting may bias the image * Identify the lighting ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Shade Theory -> The Buddy System: 6:08 -> 8:58 * Identify the difference of color and shade * Know that Each color can work in the right shade * Match skin shade to color shade ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Undertone Game: 12:40 *Work with your natural undertones *Don't contrast your skin and clothing *Buy clothing and jewelry in matching undertones for your skin ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Complexion Theory: 15:40 * Determine if you are soft or clear * Identify is the color has softness vs clarity to elevate you ------------------------------------------------------------------- Extras: Dark grey is a shade so it works for all skin tones Tailor your clothes
Think of your primary colors (red, yellow, blue) those colors are absolute. Secondary color (orange, green, purple) can be clear. If you are not able to see an absolute color (fire engine red, canary yellow) and have a hard time distinguishing or describing the color it is most likely a soft color. I hope this helps you :)
Ok but the color and lighting tip actually blew my mind. It seems so obvious, but I did the same thing and now I have brassy hair as well ,just waiting for it to grow out now. It doesn't look terrible just not desired.
I’m getting my bachelors in fashion design and I do respect how much you’ve researched and put into this video. I agree with you when it comes to colors either making you washed out or giving you your best look! COLOR REALLY DOES CHANGE YOUR LOOK AND CONFIDENCE!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

A lot of what she spoke about I learned in art school, however I never really applied all that color theory to my wardrobe. Honestly I was surprised how good this video is, and how well she knows her stuff. Good job!
your comment has just made it makes sense for me why people say artists and art historians dress well: it's bc they're constantly exposed to and considering colour and learn how to work it to their advantage (along with style, etc.)
As a fellow art student, did it bother you at all that she used the term "shade" instead of "value"? I'm not smashing the video contents at all, it was a great video! I love the contents and information. Just curious if you felt this way too 😊
Pam?
@@fanfarefair12 honestly, I did mumble to myself value when she said shade but it didn't bother me too much. Now, if she were an art major...
I’ve watched the video three times and I’m still confused. My complexion is clear, undertone warm. I need to wear warm bright colors according to my clear complexion but according to my skin color in the shade (value) theory I need to wear light colors aka pastels which is so confusing. Can someone explain?
When she said “#ad”, an actual UA-cam ad showed up and I got hella mind blown for a second 😂
Omg same
Lol, that's because it's been pre-programmed to show ads there.
Me too
am i the only one that clapped at the end of the video?
claresse lourens yep :) you’re the *only* one
Nope
Hahaha
After seeing that I clapped too. This was a REALLY thought out video and you can see the sheer effort. Kudos to her!
Are you clapping for the NHS, on a Thursday...in the UK?
this is the first time I've heard a youtuber ask for a thumbs down lmao
Feedback
In the UA-cam algorithm thumbs down does the same as a thumbs up
people who thumb down probs jealous
Yeah. And because YT algorithms see them as same, it helps Alexandra get the feedbacks she needs without having to lose anything.
@@safala I had no idea it's the same, that's smart of her to do
Alexandra: *wears something*
Me: Oh beautiful, perfect!!
Alexandra: See, this isn't suitable
Me: --Definitely not suitable
soooo meee lool
Lol
😅😅😅
this is soooo me
:( sigh me too
YES to understanding the WHY!
1. Lighting, 2. Shade of pigment, 3. Skin Undertones (Cool, Neutral, & Warm), 4. Complexion (Contrast of hair & skin)
You should consider doing image consulting for youth (teens & tweens) to help gals start early build beautifying closets & not wasting their resources. Also for adults.
Nobody :
Alexandra:
*LIFE CHANGING*
Me: well she's not wrong
So I would love to see your take on jewelry: gold, silver, rose gold, copper, bronze, colored stones, size of jewelry..... etc. in respect to shade, clear and soft. Thanks! You've given me a lot to consider... and I like that! :D
Design Organize check out Aly Art, smaller channel but she has been doing this for years :))
Yes yes yes! I find rose gold blends into my skin, gold brings my skin out but not if it's too yellow, and silver is just neutral? I might be wrong. I dont understand my undertone lol
She sort of touched on that in past videos
This woman is the IT woman.
2 years later I’m watching this video again and I just wanted to say the thing about tailoring is so helpful. It wasn’t uncommon before but now with all the fast fashion, people forget to buy good quality clothes and get them tailored to fit. I’ve recently got into sewing and alter my own clothing. They aren’t perfect but It’s so much fun to turn a piece in the back of my closet that I never wear into something wearable
The fact that you only post when you have quality content, is so refreshing. Thanks for staying authentic
I just did a funny thing! I googled "celebrities wearing the same outfit" and showed them to my boyfriend to choose which one looks better. IT PERFECTLY ALIGNS WITH YOUR THEORIES!!!!
Getting a professional color analysis takes this topic even further. I had a color analysis last year and as a winter, I look amazing in cool, blue-based icy, bright, and deep colors. I have donated the remaining warm-toned clothes last year and finally have a wardrobe that effortlessly coordinates.
Where did you get your color analysis done? I am new to this type of thinking, and would enjoy receiving more great advice to streamline the learning process!
Thank you for your time! 🎉
@@bienvenidos5130 I'm not sure, but the simpliest way to find out which color scheme suits you best is to use a filter in tiktok which has a little frame with colors of each season. and you will see which ones suit your face and skin better! i hope that helps a little
I cannot believe how intelligent and helpful these tips are. Every single video is made with such intricate details. I hope you keep doing this
OH MY GOD. oh my god thats why i look awful in my favourite colored shirts. alexandra i love you this really did change my life holy shit
N K yES finally 😭 I wanted someone to have a realization like I did because it’s just something you can detect but like not put your finger on💕 now you can shop more in line with your natural beauty🥰🥰
So I think it would be really cool if you included “homework” for us. Like a document that had us choosing between soft and clear, etc. like the main lessons in the video. We could do that on our own to practice and then look at another document you’ve provided with the answers. Just a suggestion! I know it would at least help me apply your advice. Thanks so much for the vids 💕
I second your statement!
I love this idea.
Yes!
Bianca Salinas Omg yes!!!
Yesssss
I didn't know how much I needed this person in my life.
“This video will change your life..” YESSS I’ve been waiting to hear that💗 Change my life girl
I could listen to her “Whys” all day.
This felt like a math lesson..you kinda understand but not really
Lmao same I'm watching for the second time because the next time I'm going shopping will be the exam and I'm afraid to fail good luck I have all quarantine
Exactly lol
Glad I’m not alone lol. I want to know how to find out what I am
Lol
Aly Art explains it better. (The channel that came up with this)
This was amazing!! So tired of hearing lighting makes a huge difference but never hearing what difference it actually makes. As someone who always looks for the “why” behind everything this video was insanely helpful!!
She is the ONLY UA-camr to say "give it a thumb down if you don't like it"
That makes me love you more!
It’s really disrespectful that this is free, like I don’t have to pay for this absolutely life changing video?!? Like girl you need all the coins for this. I can’t get over this video, so informative
Prinxess Peaxhes I am really glad that this is free although she deserves all the coins for it cause a lot of us can’t afford to pay for things.
but she is paid vor her videos anyway
for*
bbxxbb not really 1m views give 2000-5000 dollars and most her vids are in the thousands views although she deserves millions of views for the effort she puts in
Shoogy Khalid she deserves it for sure and more! I was just being facetious. Haha
GOV'NR: School is cancelled for the rest of the year.
ME: That's OK. I have Alexandra to teach me.👩🏫
Lolll I honestly wish that was true I Ha Te SCHoOl
@@minfires7572 In many countries it's actually true.
@@minfires7572 I'm in VA and school is closed 4 the year
Thanks
All Alexandra's videos:
*THIS VIDEO COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE*
champagne mami and she never lied
champagne mami and THEY ALL DO
Bruh it's true thooo
I mean kinda did
but is she wrong?
after 10 years on youtube, HOW HAVE I NEVER ENDED UP ON THIS CHANNEL?????!!!!!
Margarida Dias it was a life changing find, FOR SURE.
Omg I'm so sad at the end of it cause' idk when I'll see her again.
Right!! I love her channel and I’ve been following her for the longest. I just wish she was more consistent with uploads
@@shartiquecrump2940 I guess she only uploads when she feels it is absolutely necessary, or when she has a really good idea for a video. That is admirable because most UA-camrs just upload regularly to please their audience and they may not care as much about the quality of their videos, while she uploads only when she has something really interesting to share.
@@estella4129 exactly! that's how you know the content is genuine
Same 😭
I like she's real and uploads when she feels like it
Watching this video has seriously been a game-changer. Knowing which colors/shades work best on me has resulted in me shopping smarter (and less, thus saving money, because now my online shopping is no longer “hit or miss” but more successful!!). I always knew colors made a difference, but this video truly made me understand how to specifically apply “the science of color” to myself specifically. Thank you SO MUCH for spelling this out, Alexandra! Your visual examples were truly so helpful. I regularly get compliments on the “bold colors” that I wear and I feel the BEST I’ve ever felt in what I wear. Thank you!
alexandra: this video-
me, an intellectual: coULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
I got your comment to the 1K mark :)
well and then there’s me only wearing black white and sometimes grey
I'm Jungshook That’s my favorite though!
Ever get jazzy with a splash of denim?
ChubbiSarah
black denim haha
you know the „problem“ is i don’t even own anything colorful
Dude same, except white I am afraid of that color because I look 300 pounds with light colors😂♥️
That means you always look stunning!
your insanely smart, this literally makes so much sense how did we not know about this?! Thankyou so much for this video!!
She put a lot of work into this video. Aly Art has a number of videos about color theory and applying it to ourselves which is pretty informative as well.
She's so wonderful and I love her energy. Also very high quality content. You can tell it is really meant to help rather than mindlessly collect likes.
Such a great inspiration
Thank you 😊
Alexandra is so freaking intelligent, she's such a big inspiration to me 🌸
Shirley M. bug inspiration
@@dimitri2548 thank you!
Yes I feel like she doesnt need to have drama like other channels, shes genuinely honest
@@Anitafury93 mn
Every time Alexandra posts I think there’s no way she can present “game changers” in every video. BUT she does.. in every.single.video 🤯
Dana Goodlett SAME!
Ikr!!!!!! Everything is game changer >_
22 years on this earth and I still can’t figure out whether I’m warm or cold toned
Look at your vains and if they are green you are warm if they are blue and purple you are cold and if they are mixed you are natrul
I have heard that one test is jewelry: if silver looks more complimentary, then you're cool toned, and if gold looks better, than you are warm toned. Look past any ruddiness you may have. Use somewhere unconventional, like your knee, rather than your face or neck if you can.
I was confused too, but then I saw Brad Mondo's video about that and it helped so much! (The Hair Color That Will Best Suit Your Skin Tone)
anab raja Yeah, I’m neutral, so it’s kind of confusing
anab raja girrrrl WAT. 😍🤣💀 You just solved the enigma to my life’s existential problem. THANK YOU.
This was so so amazing and it changed how I look at styling yourself. I already had a passion for the mental and emotional side of style, so this was fuel to the flame!!! I really really hope you make more of this series
This is universal and not bound to gender. Thank you so much for putting out this video.
Thank you for saying that! I totally agree :)
I feel like you're a big sister and it's really, really healthy for me to listen to your advice.
I am a trauma survivor and thus never experienced true womanhood. I hid in my clothes, because I was full of deeply rooted shame and self-hate. I took what was convenient and cheap, since I never thought I'd deserve otherwise. I never bothered to look at shape or colour, because I was convinced I wasn't capable of anything, including finding things that flattered me.
My point is - you are having an even greater impact than you think. Thank you so much for empowering and inspiring us! You are a wonderful human being.
Sending so much love to you, how brave you are to write this wonderful comment. I would love to see you in something what makes you celebrate yourself with these tips! If you feel comfortable, please show! I'm sure you're worth a lot more than hiding.
You deserve the world ❤️❤️❤️.
You are valuable and worth being loved. You are wonderful and brave. You are as strong as a lion and as beautiful as a gazelle.
Always keep that in mind.
your comment made me emotional 🥺 i’m glad her advice is healthy to you, it is for me as well! you just feel so much better listening to her. i had a bit of a mental breakdown last night and immediately turned to her just to build back up my confidence. it’s nice to know that she has that same impact on you and others. i’m rooting for you and very proud of you for redefining your womanhood 💞
I love how aesthetically pleasing her editing is, it's just her own style and it's amazing
Yep
I learned this info a few years ago and it's so good to hear it again. Soft/Clear was explained to me in the terms
muted/high contrast. Colors are important but matching your contrast is more so for me. I'm muted or soft and if I look in the mirror and see the clothes before my features, I know that they are too high contrast for me. Color, for me is secondary because I can wear most colors as I have neutral light skin and almost neutral blond hair. I'm 57 and as a person gets older especially, you want to see the person first and not the clothes. Clothes should compliment the person not the other way around. Which is why you should wear make up that compliments you and not to match your clothes.
Thanks for this video. People should go through their closets and watch it again and again.
Queen went away for months to thoroughly research about fashion and the science behind it to deliver this informative video. Welcome back and my deepest appreciations!
Yesssss you’re back. We missed you so much.
İ literally took notes on a notebook while watching this
SAME!!!
Yoooo send a link!!😍😍😍😍😍
Can you send them to me
Thank you!! I came on searching for why clear colors looks so beautiful on my warm skin color. Pastels look blah and deep crisp colors makes my shin pop. I call them “true colors” and earth tones like emerald green make me look so rich. Bright red and peach does this too. So I came on to do what you did and rid my closet of what doesn’t work for me. I agree the right colors make ppl look vibrant and alive. Thank you for really doing the homework ❤️
Wow, this was extremely eye opening. Alexandrea could be a college professor in fashion/beauty, she’s so good at explaining things!
"advertisement"
*that was so classy, bless your heart*
Me: wears only black
Also me: watches entire video
I wear mostly black too! I do however include grey.
I do too. And I used to count that as a color. 😝 at least she said too dark wasn't as bad as too light.
Well even black has different undertones :0
Relatable! 😂
I'm omw to wearing mostly black I'm still buying color. I'm going to stop myself from buying bright colors. I love them on the rack but when I put them on I'm like no too bright 🤦🏼
I don’t know how my fingers just urge me to hit the like button even before watching a second of your video.It’s just that your an amazing influencer and your work is flawless
I started dying when she just stopped and said “Advertisement”😭😭 like thanks for the warning.
What part of the video
angelurioke @ 19:58
you’re literally a fashion scientist
Me seeing she posted another video: “girl where tf u been” *clicks on vid*
Thanks!
I think that when you're wearing your best colors you look as if the clothes are a part of you, not blending in but it's like they came with you and were designed just for you just like your hair and eye color. of course there's value in looking the opposite way but I love seeing that effect 🥰
honey that’s *exactly* it! You got it completely. Really, it fascinated me to see that❤️
yesssss, spot on!!!!!!!!!!
Yes the way God created fur patterns and markings on animals....
This video is amazing, but I'd like to add something regarding soft/clear styling for women who wear hijabs or headwraps in general. If you have trouble identifying if you are soft or clear because you don't show your hair, just know that you pretty much can choose (but still follow some ground rules!). If your hijab/tichel/headwrap contrasts with your skin, you can still apply the same rules that Alexandra mentioned and opt for more clear pieces. If you wear a neutral headpiece with less contrast, you might want to wear soft clothing. However, it is also important to ensure that the colors you choose coincide with your skin temperature wise, because fabrics so close to your face, the focal point of your body, can drastically enhance or muddle your features. Also, keep your eye/eyebrow colors in mind when choosing.
I have neutral-warm medium-to-dark skin, close to Jackie Aina's complexion, and I also have dark eyebrows and eyes. If I were to show my hair, I would have a soft complexion. I carry out this philosophy when choosing headscarves by wearing dark brown or warm colored hijabs. However, I can pull off clear-colored clothing if I wear a black hijab for example, but just make sure that the rest of your outfit is consistent with this and still compliments your undertone. These tips still can work for you!!
This comment is so important thank you! I agree and I do see eyebrows as the guidance system in place of hair if it isn’t showing ☺️
wow Thank you SOOO much for this comment. I always wear black or navy blue scarf since I feel like it brings out my complexions and my clothing is black, white and some shades of blue. It can be confusing, but this made it easier
Speaking of not seeing hair, this is good advice for bald women. I wouldn't have thought to match the eyebrows or head scarfs.
AlexandrasGirlyTalk can you do a video using a woman in a hijaab?
❤️
Never have I wanted someone as a personal stylist more than right now.
A.J Spark check out celebrity stylist David Zyla he’s won an Emmy for dressing actors right👏
This seriously was life changing for me.... opened my eyes to a new perspective. I had heard of warm/ cool color tones and dressing for your skin tone, even saw people selling their own color swatch opinions for cool/ warm tones (making me think I needed to bring the whole thing with me while out shopping) but NEVER had I ever heard someone say WHY those colors. Why that exact color when there’s so many different tones?! Also, never heard of the clothes being the same shade!! What??!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you!!!!
“Maybe alittle trendy sneaker action, athleisure wear mostly and I didn’t even care to do my hair” me💀 Alexandra done called me out AND my sneaker addiction
And me and my eyeshadow addiction 😭😜
Y'all have money for sneakers?
I feel like Alexandra has such a soothing voice she should definitely do a podcast, i would totally listen to it
same
💚💖😘
yeah her voice is so calming
Me: *likes fashion videos that explain how to look good*
Also me: *still dresses plain and with no fashion sense*
Also, also me: *doesn't understand anything about fashion but still tries*
I mean why wont you try to apply it? Don't you find the time you took to learn this a waste?
As long as you try you're gonna see improvement after some time!! Good job for not giving up! :)))
you're so eDgY
shut the duck up as long as you try :) practice makes perfect haha 🥰
shut the duck up dont feel bad im 26 and dress plain white or black crop tops, tees, or bodysuits and jeans and shorts and i dont do patters because i have alot of tattoos.
Alex, YOU KNOCKED THIS OUT OF THE PARK.....Loved the content and you covered it all. Thank you for bringing up so many good points.

*me trying to decide if a color is clear or soft*
Yeah, I'm confused what the difference is between clear & soft colors 🤔
@@irismoreira4134 clear colors are more vibrant, and for example a clear red is very close to true red, whereas soft colors are more muted
Iris Moreira same here :(
Think of your primary colors (red, yellow, blue) those colors are absolute. Secondary color (orange, green, purple) can be clear. If you are not able to see an absolute color
(fire engine red, canary yellow) and have a hard time distinguishing or describing the color it is most likely a soft color. I hope this helps you :)
Soft color have some shade of grey added to it
Ok but the color and lighting tip actually blew my mind. It seems so obvious, but I did the same thing and now I have brassy hair as well ,just waiting for it to grow out now. It doesn't look terrible just not desired.
Sitting here thinking I was soft, then went to the mirror. Hold the phone, I'm clear! Changes everything. Let's do this!
I’m getting my bachelors in fashion design and I do respect how much you’ve researched and put into this video. I agree with you when it comes to colors either making you washed out or giving you your best look! COLOR REALLY DOES CHANGE YOUR LOOK AND CONFIDENCE!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
