I love how you say that the "rounder" side isn't bad or ugly, but rather you show us how easy it is to manipulate with your eye shape and change it into something that flatters you more. Thanks dude. DUDE. ❤️
@Madeleine L completely agree. I have super downturned eyes and the fox eye makeup just looks funny like im trying to overcompensate. The rounder eye looks way better on us!
Some people look better with a "rounded" eye rather than a "cat eye," or "fox eye," Not sure why that is, I guess it's the way it looks on their eye shape. In the Hilary duff makeup tutorials (vogue) she mentions she doesn't like a cat eye, the rounded look is smoking on her, but not everyone can pull it off.
@Madeleine L my eyes are VERY almond shaped, and a bit hooded. Rounded makes my eye shape look bigger and rounder VS cat eye making my eye look more closed off and small
Also, "I'm going to keep this video short, but first omg my face is so itchy hahahaha isnt that funny? Let me take a drink of this water. Here is my dog." 5 edits later-- a tutorial with 1/4 of the information as Alex's left pinky toe
As always: I love that you don't have a, "do this, not that," approach. You just show us different ways to do things, and both have their positives. You help us learn how to bring forth the qualities we want, without being like, "this is the right and wrong way." You're a good teacher.
The dude series is back!! 🥰 When I'm bored I sometimes just do one side of my face completely differently than the other side to see how much makeup can change your face lol, quarantine entertainment
After doing my own makeup for 35 years...I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it 😆 and I owe it to you. Actually got a few compliments from my husband too...and not just the generic "you look nice" comments either (although those are nice, don't get me wrong) but I'm getting "did you do something different to your eyes" comments etc. Feels nice. So thanks, I've learned so much from you.
@@lovemesomeslippers I don't know what you would call it...I guess it's sort of a "fox eye". I have slightly hooded, down turned eyes and I've been practicing trying to make them look a little more lifted.
@@whoathatsanicememe3093 I think I'll give the fox eye another go. It is really flattering. You look lovely in your avatar (is that you?) so I bet any look is good on you.
@@lovemesomeslippers aww thanks☺...Yes, that's me. I was playing dress up with my girls lol. I appreciate the kind words. I definitely need to work on my eyeliner though.
I've been literally doing the right eye version all my life when i've been wanting to do the left eye version just not knowing what to change in the way i apply eye shadow. Loving these vids.
Yeeees!! I was just thinking the EXACT same thing! I've watched so many videos and tried to follow so many different tutorials, but no matter who I followed or what their technique was, I've still never been happy with how my shadow turned out and I couldn't figure out why because I THOUGHT I was following them fairly well. It's only now, seeing these two looks done side by side, that I'm picking up the fine details enough to notice what the differences are. Those slight adjustments are so super subtle and tiny, but they make a HUGE impact on the look and make all the difference. Now, after literally years of trying (I'm 36!) to achieve something so particular, I finally know what to tweak! How did it take so long for someone to come up with this concept?? 😆
I watched a video of yours once where you mentioned using eye shadow to sort of contour the eye, and I've always stuck by that idea, so getting a full video of how to manipulate your eye shape is a godsend
The “Dude” series is back!! As I’m getting older, I find it so much more flattering to place my shadows as you did on your right eye. My eyes are very round too. If I follow my natural crease, my eye looks even more round, pretty, but not what I want when trying to lift everything upward (cuz gravity is working it’s magic dragging everything down!). Your instruction and demonstrations are SO helpful; I feel like I learn something in every.single.video!! I know you are beautifully young with gorgeous bone structure, but do you think you could create an entire look for more mature women? Many parts of the makeup routine are placed so differently as we age. I think your talent and natural teaching ability would be so helpful. Thank you so much for creating this series. You are the best!! 🤗
Especially if she could find an "older" model, like 40-50. I'm 42 and my already partially hooded eyes now have like fat saggy piece that idk how to deal with. Nobody addresses it especially with color.
YAS, thank you sm!!! My eye shape is almond and slightly hooded and gooosh there's not enough resources about placement and stuff. You're super talented, keep it up!!! ❤️ I love how informative and educational your channel is
@@katjam yaaasss ikr! It sucks cuz you can't say it's fully hooded - there's still space to work with - but it's also not a typical eye shape for all those fancy eye makeup looks. Ughhh power to us haha
Can you explain this pls? I have hooded eye! What is the best option, the left side of the screen or the right? ( I get confused when you say his left eye because when recording it makes mirror mode so I don't know which eye you really mean)
@@cherlieps if I am understanding correctly, I think she means the left side of the screen. It's the type of makeup I always see recommended for hooded eyes.
@@cherlieps Looking at the screen it's on your right. (I assume Alex is not using a mirror mode so that's why I said her left eye.) The way I originally learned it was from Stephanie Langue's "dome shape" technique for hooded eyes, if you want to try it.
this girl is better than most beauty gurus and blogghers and whatever out in the internet. simple, practical, short. absolutely perfect in her explanations.
I just wanted to say thank you for your time and work, it really means a lots to some of us who really wanted to learn makeup or upgrading our makeup skills. May God bless you and stay safe 💖.
I love how you don’t edit out things that other youtubers often would like when you say the wrong word and correct yourself or when you trip on your words and do the babble thing 😂 it makes you seem so much more human and endearing because you are such a genuine, down to earth person ☺️
Things that changed in my make up routine because of Alexandra: * Concealer placement * I shortened my brow tails and changed their shape * Eyeshadow placement (fox eye tutorial) * Bronzer placement * Blush placement And I don't contour and I don't use any highlight. So pretty much everything 😂😂
Something I really like about your channel is how you teach us how to change up our look by changing our application/placement/technique rather than just throwing products at us as if that will give us the results we’re looking for. I learn so much from these videos. You’re my fav beauty youtuber because of your honesty, transparency, casual vibes, humour, helpful content and how genuine you are. 10/10
Actually the right side represents all the techniques that I’ve been learning from most UA-cam channels the couple previous years 🥴 nothing wrong with that and it will suit specific eyes shape 👍🏼 but love the other side truly it is all about the way of placing the eyeshadows 👌🏼 thanks really helpful tutorial❤️
This is probably my absolute favorite I needed this video where we can actually the difference you can give different shape to your eyes depending where the eyeshadow placement is and the difference it makes instead of just being told and not exactly knowing I'm a hands on type of learner so these are great! I love how informative your videos are!!
I love how alex and wayne goss show you the different ways to accentuate your natural features without telling you certain ways or features are bad or ugly
I love this series comparing how makeup can alter your features, but it feels like the end game is always "model-hot, but in two different ways." I'd be curious to see effects that don't happen to correspond to current beauty standards. Like: how SMALL can you make your eyes look, and by what method? What does it look like if you highlight the stuff you'd usually contour and vice-versa? What if you UNDERDREW your lips in a dark, matte colour? Etc. Not with any undertones of "this is what some people do WRONG!!!1!!!!" or "I'm gonna make myself look ugly!" mind you (I hate that shamey shit). Just a value-neutral "here are yet more ways a person could make their features look very different" or a mad scientist "is it possible to full-on make my face look like it's inside-out, with everything that sticks out seeming to recede and vice-versa?" kinda thing.
you are like the only makeup youtuber who doesn't shame people who do makeup differently than you. you're just like "here's a couple ways you can do it, pick what you like for you." so positive & promoting learning & enjoyment of makeup instead of making people feel bad
Most tutorials I've seen and followed in the past have leaned towards the foxy left-side look and I'd sort of accepted that as being the 'correct' way to do eyeshadow, but on my similarly round eyes the end result somehow consistently looked less bold and punchy than I'd prefer for a night out. Your right-side look is the intensely smokey statement eye I needed all along! Really helpful, thank you.
This is such a great tutorial!! Thank you thank you!! As I have gotten older my eyes are sooo changing. I have struggled because I cant do my eye shadow/liner the way I used to. Your color theory and placement has helped me so much
You are the premier “#beautuber” for tutorials on the how and why of makeup - thank you so much for your clear and practical advice from an over 60s beauty student 😉
I just wanted to say that I NEVER click the bell 🔔 for notifications. I enjoy your channel so much I smashed that bell 😁 I love the intro too by the way... just simple and beautiful.
Thank you for your detailed tutorial! Although my asian eyes are mature, downturned, hooded with minimal lid space , I really learned a lot. Thank you! I really enjoy your channel!
I Love your tutorials so much!! They are just so on point and straight up informative. One really feels that is learning something instead of just watching some one doing make up that works just for their face structure.
I’m so happy I found this channel earlier this year! i have pretty much the same eye shape, under eye situation, forehead real estate, and cheekbone structure so SO many of your tips i can just copy paste and they’ve been super helpful 🌟🙌
This is literally the BEST eyeshadow learning video I’ve ever watched on UA-cam! I love how close you are zoomed into your camera always and the whole concept of all your videos. You explain the reasons why we should do our makeup and make it so easy to understand. Instead of talking about your day, and putting on your mAkeup without telling how and why your applying it the way you are. Love it! Your the best girl!
I live for the dude series. I'm definitely going to try this because my eye shape is similar to yours, not very round, more almond, but more hooded (because of age) that I have similar issues with eyeshadow placement. This explained it in a way that I understand. You're awesome at explaining and teaching the "why's". Love love love this series. I hope you never run out of things to teach us. Lol 😂❤
I like the language you use, it's like when a sports instructor tells you how a stretch or position should feel if you're doing it as intended or what parts are working. Really helpful because just looking doesn't always tell you everything you need
Somehow your videos are so captivating. I was looking for your advices on lip shape and just ended up watching 3 hours of your videos. It's like watching clouds, there's always something new and fun. And your personality is so cool, even if I feel particularly asociable your videos are a calm and quiet sea.
I love how informative your video is without one way being good/right, or wrong/bad. But more preference and a decision on what we are going for ! Beautiful
It was very helpful and very informative. I have almond shaped eyes and i tend to do halo looks with eyeshadow and not drag it out and up like you did on your left eye. Now i will try this and i'm sure it would look better on my eye shape. Thank you so much for the dude series Alex. I really think it should win an award.
Can you please please do a super easy everyday look? I've gotten my base down, but the eye looks I pull are either awful or too much. I have almond brown eyes btw, they look nice until I put eyeshadow on lol
Doll-I would LOVE IT if you can do a video on the best mirrors and lighting that you recommend! I am really struggling with that, especially for those of us who need glasses or magnifying mirrors to apply our makeup. Thanks so much!
Meee too. Please! Subscribing and ringing bell in hopes we can get help with this specific eye shape, to emphasize the almond shape and make it kitty-cat-like
I’ve always hated my eyes but I feel so blessed to have found you who has a similar shape and looks drop dead gorgeous with advice that not only gives me hope but inspiration too ❤️
Everything you do is helpful!! You have such a way of explaining things!!! I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your videos!! And the quick intro, " Hey"!!!😂😂 Blessings to you! ✌✌🙏
I think one of the biggest points is how much eyeshadow to push on each brush for each step. What looks like a small amount can vary between brushes and what product is being used. Where to apply the product on the brush is a trivial point as well. Then move on to practicing application techniques. Honestly I don't think there are videos on applying product to tools, it just gets skipped over.
First, this is a great video.OMG. Your right eye is so stunning, I want to try this ASAP. Second, I'm so thankful you are not using the ubiquitous black liquid eyeliner. Nothing against folks who use it, I just don't like it on me and it's refreshing to see a makeup tutorial without it! This is tremendous, thank you so much
Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE how you describe each and every step!?! You make it extremely easy to follow along & understand why you are doing what you're doing. It's genius that you are showing us doing 2 different looks & how different they make your eyes look. Really smart! LOVE it so much! 👍👍👍
I love how you get to the point. I'm here for a makeup tutorial, not gossip. By the way, this is the most helpful eyeshadow tutorial I've seen all year.
I finally had enough sense to watch this particular video of yours! I’m older than you, by a lot, and my almond shaped eyes have drooped into round shaped. But I too have a huge amount of real estate between my crease and my eyebrows. Your tutorial confirmed my sense I needed to adjust where I placed my darker eyeshadow, but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I’m going to do a full-on makeup tomorrow to see if I too can recreate your look to get back my desired eye shape! Thanks in advance!!
Thank you SOOOO much for this video! I did the eyeshadow on the left with the fox eyeliner and felt so pretty! For the first time, my husband said (completely unprovoked), "Your eye makeup is on point." ThankYouThankYouThankYou!
I know that money struggle too😩 I use probably too old makeup because of that.. I bought from like -60% sale (spent ~60e) and still it made a huge dent in my budget☹
Alexandra reminds me of old youtube... she just says "hey" and starts the video. All for educational purposes no unnecessary chit chat, gets straight to the point... she doesn't make a video only for promoting a product she actually wants to show us things about makeup without getting too personal but still genuine enough. No background music and overwhelming editing and intros… just her voice, talking to us. I love that!
Holy shit! I’ve been doing my eyeshadow wrong this whole time and my eye shape is like yours. Thanks for uploading this! It was very helpful. Now.. I need this eyeshadow palette too!
I don't leave comments very often, but I feel that I have to do it here and now. Firstly, I LOVE YOU!!! Secondly, I think this is the only channel where, if I am watching videos, I can really learn something from them. Explanations make the difference. Thank you for that, Alex! 🥰 Keep doing this, it is very helpful! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you, this is such a helpful tutorial on the impact of eyeshadow placement but also thank you so much for clearly explaining how we can replicate this... I love you for your educational value!
We ALL love how your intro is literally just "hey"
For sure! She's just adorb the way she talks- so casual and relaxing.
Yes !!
Literally the best I get anxiety from the loud yelling intros most you tubers do and her hi is just perfect
Legit
Totally! Most of the time I lose interest by the time UA-camrs have finished their 14 minute intro.

That's real.

you are following the wrong ones then

This is my FAVORITEST comment in all of UA-cam 😆😂👏🏻🙌🏻
As always: I love that you don't have a, "do this, not that," approach. You just show us different ways to do things, and both have their positives. You help us learn how to bring forth the qualities we want, without being like, "this is the right and wrong way." You're a good teacher.
It reminds me so much of art lessons, and perspective: choose where you want the focus to be.
I love The School Of Alexandra.
And most people who do the right/wrong thing make the wrong side look ridiculous on purpose

Things that changed in my make up routine because of Alexandra:
* Concealer placement
* I shortened my brow tails and changed their shape
* Eyeshadow placement (fox eye tutorial)
* Bronzer placement
* Blush placement
And I don't contour and I don't use any highlight. So pretty much everything 😂😂
I don't know if I even knew the purpose of concealer beyond convering blemishes before her videos.
Her brow and blush videos changed my makeup so much 🥰
i saw this video in mute and definitely i need to watch it again!!

I'm definitely going to try this because my eye shape is similar to yours, not very round, more almond, but more hooded (because of age) that I have similar issues with eyeshadow placement. This explained it in a way that I understand. You're awesome at explaining and teaching the "why's". Love love love this series. I hope you never run out of things to teach us. Lol 😂❤
Soooo thanks for being one of the most genuine and relatable MUAs on UA-cam
i love how your titles are like you're talking to us
I like the language you use, it's like when a sports instructor tells you how a stretch or position should feel if you're doing it as intended or what parts are working. Really helpful because just looking doesn't always tell you everything you need
I want her to do a dude, your whole face makeup changes your face where she does different styles of Everything on either side of the face
Somehow your videos are so captivating. I was looking for your advices on lip shape and just ended up watching 3 hours of your videos. It's like watching clouds, there's always something new and fun. And your personality is so cool, even if I feel particularly asociable your videos are a calm and quiet sea.
Dude, I love these videos. They are so well explained and well thought out. Thank you for your help!
I love how informative your video is without one way being good/right, or wrong/bad. But more preference and a decision on what we are going for ! Beautiful
Alexxx, you are literally my fav youtuber!!!🥺I hope you have a great dayyy ❤️
😭 Thank you so much Mary 🙏🏼❤️
It was very helpful and very informative. I have almond shaped eyes and i tend to do halo looks with eyeshadow and not drag it out and up like you did on your left eye. Now i will try this and i'm sure it would look better on my eye shape. Thank you so much for the dude series Alex. I really think it should win an award.
dude, this tutorial really changed my eyeshadow techniques
I already knew that placement of eyeshadow had a lot to say, but actually getting to see it, and getting that idea of WHERE to put it really helps! :)
This is the video that i was looking for!
Hope it helps! 🙌🏼
I love how REAL you keep it and how much I can relate to your features!!! Definitely great tips!!!
Can you please please do a super easy everyday look? I've gotten my base down, but the eye looks I pull are either awful or too much. I have almond brown eyes btw, they look nice until I put eyeshadow on lol
Doll-I would LOVE IT if you can do a video on the best mirrors and lighting that you recommend! I am really struggling with that, especially for those of us who need glasses or magnifying mirrors to apply our makeup. Thanks so much!
Need pointers on how to make deep set small almond eyes look bigger.
Meee too. Please! Subscribing and ringing bell in hopes we can get help with this specific eye shape, to emphasize the almond shape and make it kitty-cat-like
Can I just say thank you for actually showing helpful tips and info and for having the most chill soothing voice ever.
I’ve always hated my eyes but I feel so blessed to have found you who has a similar shape and looks drop dead gorgeous with advice that not only gives me hope but inspiration too ❤️
Everything you do is helpful!! You have such a way of explaining things!!! I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your videos!! And the quick intro, " Hey"!!!😂😂 Blessings to you! ✌✌🙏
I think one of the biggest points is how much eyeshadow to push on each brush for each step. What looks like a small amount can vary between brushes and what product is being used. Where to apply the product on the brush is a trivial point as well. Then move on to practicing application techniques. Honestly I don't think there are videos on applying product to tools, it just gets skipped over.
First, this is a great video.OMG. Your right eye is so stunning, I want to try this ASAP. Second, I'm so thankful you are not using the ubiquitous black liquid eyeliner. Nothing against folks who use it, I just don't like it on me and it's refreshing to see a makeup tutorial without it! This is tremendous, thank you so much
ILYSM SO PLEASE MAN, DON’T LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THAT. thanks anyway for this. needed a Sunday pickmeup.
Can I just say that I absolutely LOVE how you describe each and every step!?! You make it extremely easy to follow along & understand why you are doing what you're doing. It's genius that you are showing us doing 2 different looks & how different they make your eyes look. Really smart! LOVE it so much! 👍👍👍
I’m going to do this to both of my eyes and see which one I like better 😂😅
Finally someone to follow that is easy to understand and no bullshit!
😭🙏🏼❤️
I struggle with eyeshadow and eyeliner because my eyes are uneven 😂😭
Haha me too! Took me a few years to figure it all out.
Mine too! I’ve always kinda used tricks like these to make them even so my rounder eye I do the eyeshadow to make it more almond like my other eye lol
Same. My eyes are round, but the brow bone comes down low in the outer corners. Eyeshadow is frustrating for me.
mininjas girl i totally feel you on all the levels!!! Every time i do shadow i always ask myself’ “is it only me that goes through this!?” :(:
I never line under or use dark shadows under my eyes because it really highlights how much bigger my right eye is compared to my left.
I love how you get to the point. I'm here for a makeup tutorial, not gossip. By the way, this is the most helpful eyeshadow tutorial I've seen all year.
love you alexandra 🥺
😭🙏🏼❤️
I finally had enough sense to watch this particular video of yours! I’m older than you, by a lot, and my almond shaped eyes have drooped into round shaped. But I too have a huge amount of real estate between my crease and my eyebrows. Your tutorial confirmed my sense I needed to adjust where I placed my darker eyeshadow, but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I’m going to do a full-on makeup tomorrow to see if I too can recreate your look to get back my desired eye shape! Thanks in advance!!
I love your videos ! And you’re so beautiful you’re literally a goddess 😍
Thank you SOOOO much for this video! I did the eyeshadow on the left with the fox eyeliner and felt so pretty! For the first time, my husband said (completely unprovoked), "Your eye makeup is on point." ThankYouThankYouThankYou!
I wish I could get youtubers' unwanted PR. My gosh, things are so freaking expensive in the country where I live--especially on a college budget.
I know that money struggle too😩 I use probably too old makeup because of that.. I bought from like -60% sale (spent ~60e) and still it made a huge dent in my budget☹
I love how you just get straight into the video!! You have no idea how much I appreciate that
Love your videos❤️ especially this series 🔥
Thanks babe!
Alexandra reminds me of old youtube... she just says "hey" and starts the video. All for educational purposes no unnecessary chit chat, gets straight to the point... she doesn't make a video only for promoting a product she actually wants to show us things about makeup without getting too personal but still genuine enough. No background music and overwhelming editing and intros… just her voice, talking to us. I love that!
I need a "dude, the way you apply mascara changes your whole makeup"
Dude! I love how she explains everything she is doing. If one of my friends was trying to teach me how to do my makeup , this is how it would sound.
9:57 whenever someone asks how your crush looks like😅
Demonstrating 2 different looks with the same colours really helps. Thanks!
the notification got me so excited i started clapping uncontrollably
I have to thank you for teaching me dark pushes things back and light brings it forward, I literally use it daily now.
“Dude, your eyeshadow placement changes you whole face” would have been a better and shorter title.
Who cares? She got the point across.
It's a good thing she asked for your opinion on it then
Holy shit! I’ve been doing my eyeshadow wrong this whole time and my eye shape is like yours. Thanks for uploading this! It was very helpful. Now.. I need this eyeshadow palette too!
I don't leave comments very often, but I feel that I have to do it here and now. Firstly, I LOVE YOU!!! Secondly, I think this is the only channel where, if I am watching videos, I can really learn something from them. Explanations make the difference. Thank you for that, Alex! 🥰 Keep doing this, it is very helpful! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you, this is such a helpful tutorial on the impact of eyeshadow placement but also thank you so much for clearly explaining how we can replicate this... I love you for your educational value!
