The cool and light tones do wash me out, so if you do this you can always go in with just a very light touch of bronzer to get some warmth back in there ❤
could you do something like male eye makeup ?!
"Washed-out" is an anti-white sentiment. That's ok ur a verified YTer, that comes with the territory.
It's a long shot maybe but i just realized I make my face masculine on accident, so can you do contouring specifically for making a face more feminine?
Just so that I know what should be the opposite instead cause I thought this was how contour and brows were supposed to be. Thank you if you do!
If possible, could you do a tutorial on feminising masculine features? "Regular" makeup tutorials focus on _accentuating_ feminine features, they don't really teach you what you should do if you don't have those, so it'd be helpful. You mentioned that this makeup made you look like your brother, so maybe you could get him on as a guest in that to directly mirror this video 😆
@@SaraSara-xh4hl Every contouring tutorial is about feminizing the face. Its easy to find.
As a guy who wears makeup, it's very difficult to find videos that accentuate masculine features. This really helped me, and I'll definitely be trying out these techniques. Glad I subscribed, because your content is so good, and not many beauty influencers have made videos on this.
X2
Wayne Goss also did a video on makeup for men
Saaaame bruh lol
How to make features more masculine: You don't use makeup. Forget that idea fast. Makeup is not for men, only if you are an actor on the set.
@@LakituKoopa This sounds very ignorant, makeup has been used by men since makeup was invented. Go look at the ancient Egyptians, 1700s England, Edo period Japan, current-day South Korea. Just because some cultures (USA, where I'm from) frowns upon men wearing makeup, doesn't mean men can't wear makeup. Have you ever thought why actors or male models wear makeup? It makes them look better and fresh when done right and CAN make them look more masculine.
i think this is gonna help a lot of people thank you alex for being such a good ally to the LGBTQ+ community, love you
❤️
🤣
This is just the thread I was looking for! So, how do all of my lesbian friends do their makeup? I’v always wanted to know and I’d love to subscribe and watch your tutorials if you have any. I’m always looking for different ways to do my makeup. 😃 Thanks in advance!
@@MrsNunswife not all lesbians are masculine. I’m literally the most feminine woman on earth
@@cirimpufka get a hobby grandma
One thing I appreciate about your channel is how it’s straight to the point, with zero bullshit. You just teach real, honest techniques while behaving like your authentic self. I really appreciate it!
Jaaaa, so true. Alex' Lighthouse! :D xo
Maybe you do, but in case you don't, THIS is what makes your channel stand out (for me). I always learn something, even if it doesn't apply to me. It's not your typical "here's new makeup..." not that there is anything wrong with that because I follow some of those folks also.
Anywho...that's just one reason your channel stands out!
Happy Sunday!
Okay, so THANK YOU for posting this. As a pre T trans man my facial features make me so uncomfortable and I've attempted this a little bit but it never looked natural enough. Definitely gonna give it another go after this. This was super helpful and accessible, thanks queen ❤
Hope this helps! 🙌🏼❤
You are so loved! Best of luck on they journey 😘😘
Facts. I’m here for the same reasonnnn
Daily reminder: you don’t have to pass to be valid as a man! Destroy that dysphoria!! But remember that your identity doesn’t depend on what other people think about you
Omg same im still a young teenager with a transphobic family
Ooooh I would love to see a side by side of feminine contouring next to this masculine contouring
Was thinking the same!
Happy I found this because I’m a woman with very masculine facial features. Far from soft and tiny. Every time I try to soften my face up, it just doesn’t look right. Recently I’ve decided I want to embrace my strong features and accentuate them instead of hiding/changing them. This video helped a lot!! Thank you!!
I’m the same, my whole life I’ve looked off because I was trying what other girls were trying, but now that I’m embracing my masculine features, people have told me I look very attractive, sometimes we just have to go with what we have and embrace it
Something else that men use to look more masculine is blush.(especially men in Hollywood, check literally any marvel movie poster and you will never unsee it). I think it can really well shape the face for men, and adds that bit of color that is usually lacking in “masculine” make up routines. it can also be used to give a rugged or chapped look to any part of the skin that sticks out, like a brow bone or a chin.
wait what???? lemme go check.. where do they normally put it? i’m assuming the cheeks… I know that heavy make up is used in Hollywood on men but I didn’t know they would use so much blush!!
@@roxypicasso66 it’s weirdly on like the corners of the cheekbones, like right where it should poke out. Another really good example is Chris Pratt in Jurassic world. I think part of it is he has rosy cheeks in general, but it really helps sculpt his face in that move, if you compare it to other photos.
That's wild. I just googled Captain America.... I can't unsee it now. 😂
I'll be honest, I must have looked at a couple dozen posters and movie clips, but I can't see it? I understand what you mean, there's a bit of darkness at that parts which isn't there in some other movies of the actors I looked at, but to me it looks more like contour or bronzer than a blush...?
As a cis woman who likes to play with androgyny, I was happy to learn that I already have most of these “typically” masculine facial features lol.
Same here 😄
@@Asphyxia612 .... Not all women are cis-gender.
@@Asphyxia612 No, not all trans women say they are trans whenever they mention their gender, just like how I dont mention that Im brown or bi everytime i talk about my gender. So if OP wants to talk about something that pertains to gender no conformity and presentation it makes perfect sense she would specify "cis".
I could be wrong but I have a feeling the reason you took issue with OP mentioning she is cis is because you are of the belief that cis women are "normal" women and trans women are this other category that dont fall fully under the category of woman.
If this is ur belief, you are incorrect. Woman denotes anyone who is a woman, including trans women. A trans woman is not any less of a woman than a cis woman. Just like how a brown woman is not less or more of a woman than a white woman or an asian woman. Or how a straight women is not more or less of a woman than a nonsraight woman. We're all women, we're just women with different experiences and other intersecting identities as well.
And before you assume Im a trans woman trying to "cope" as many TERFs do when confronted, Im actually cis as well.
@@Asphyxia612 um not everybody would know what they mean in this context, it provides context
@@Asphyxia612 because their body isn’t???
I’m a little trans guy w soft cheeks and this is super interesting particularly because I originally learnt masculine make up from drag kings for stage make up and this approach is much more simple for when I wanna “pass” better, thank you!
REALLLLL
As a trans woman I would love to see the other side - looking soft, feminine, just to maybe see where should I focus when putting on makeup!
I thiink a really long time ago Stef Sanjati did a feminizing makeup tutorial while she was earlier on in her transition
I've always heard to "round" everything out. Like instead of sharp, chiseled lines and contouring focus on "rounder" and fuller motions - especially cheeks and lips. I hope that made sense! Haha.
Honestly most makeup tutorials now are about softening and feminizing, all you need is already out there. This isn't. For a trans man this is everything we've ever needed from a more mainstream influencer
You can look at drag makeup tutorials! You don’t need to do full drag makeup everyday but you can use some of the contouring tips and maybe some inspiration from them :D
Same!!!
Oooh as someone that loves androgynous looks I'm really excited for this one!
I'd be completely interested in seeing a, half face of feminine style makeup side by side with half face of masculine style makeup.
As a queer woman, thank you for this. You are the best. I would love to try drag but have never known where to start for just the basics. Thanks you
Alex! This means the absolute world to me. I've been using drag king tutorials, which are great, but can be a bit strong for everyday. This is so helpful and showing every step really helped me figure it out. Thank you so so much for your allyship and teaching
I've been contouring my cheeks and jaw like that for years now. For me it's about the SHARPNESS - I wanna look so sharp I could use myself as a blade in a battle
As a trans masc I am very grateful that you made this video and explained everything so well. Thank you, this made my day
Hahaha that’s never a bad thing!
Do I have any desire to make my features more masculine looking-no!
Did I watch this anyway because I love Alex and her amazing skills-Yes!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Same! Super interesting.
Same, though tbh I was also watching to see if I could learn the opposite as well from these tips. I have a stronger jaw than I would like. I don't hate it or anything, but my aim when I'm dolling myself up is literally to look doll-like lol. I'd like to be able to match my features to my aesthetic better at those times
Thank you for not being afraid and owning your unique look as a way to help a community! Very brave and very beautiful. You made this comfortable and very informative. I will definitely be sharing this so some of my friends in the LGBTQ+ Community. This will help so many people. Maybe this is something you can do on here more often. You have unlocked a unique gift inside of you. I remember you saying that you were in a rut. I always practice giving to others and in that I will find my inspiration. I would say the rut is over. Thank you. Continue doing what you are doing! 😘😘
Awwwww, YES! xo
@@Asphyxia612 This has nothing to do with fashion lol. I don't need the history about it. We all know about it. Maybe if you took the time to read my comments properly. Maybe you would understand. I gave credit because a lot of people have a lot of misgivings about the LGBTQ+ community. By standing with them sometimes it's a guilty by association and doing it publicly is brave. You can risk getting backlash thus why she is brave. She did something to help a community. Instead of making it about another content creator. try not to hate on that you should be happy someone is willing to help and took the time to care. It's not about If she is the 1st one or not. You totally missed the point. What you can do is try and give that energy to someone else I don't think they would appreciate it at all and neither did I. Good luck
as somone who feels quite gender fluid, this is so helpful! I already have really masculine features but it's nice to be able to highlight them more
Oh my god?? Thank you so much for this tutorial I'm gonna cry
❤❤❤
I love this so much. As a cis woman with masculine features it is very hard to “accentuate my natural features” based on most make up tutorials. I love androgyny and want to bring that out in my face so THANK YOU.
TYPICALLY, I have always found persons that could go either way as attractive in a different way.
Everyone is beautiful and all that but I like being able to play more masculine or feminine, like, a healthy dual spirit, embracing the beauty of both.
So, yeah, good on you 💜
I consider myself an androgynous looking person, so this is great for me since some days I want to accentuate that masculine features my face has, it's the good thing abt makeup, you can feel a bit more like yourself
I love this. Even if this isn't a look that Alex wouldn't usually wear, just like other styles and colors, she's like yo I figured it out, here's how to do it, and uses herself as a canvas for anything.
Thank you! I do masculine makeup everyday and these were spot on! I also add shadow into the corner of my eyes, like right under the brows to make it look like I have a more defined and prominent brow bone. I put shadow to the outer corners of my eyes as well.
I am genderfluid and I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH. Thank youuuuu🙏🏻❤️🔥
I always contour my face and jaw like that even tho I keep rest of my make-up pretty "feminine" because I like the vibe it gives. I already have a RBF and it makes me look even more of that 😂
Haha I feel you on that
I love that!
The fact that I’ve been searching for a good contour makeup for men, and I finally found it through a woman. Thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
As a non binary person I don't like looking so fem and I was trying to look more masc. This is very helpful, thank you!!!!
This is basically my drag king makeup routine, sans foundation and my elaborate eye looks. I had never noticed that cis men have shorter foreheads before - I think had always associated adult men with a receding hairline, so I always lengthened my forehead in drag, lol. But when you put the stripe of contour on your forehead, the effect was instant. Thanks for your insight!
Whoever requested this video, thank you, and thank you Alex!! This is such a genius video idea, useful for people looking to achieve a more masculine/androgynous look, and just a really fun art lesson in general ♥️
Also fantastic for people who want to try a contemporary fashion photoshoot/minimalistic editorial type look
I love your channel (for myself) and I also have a trans male teen. This is wonderful. Thank you!!!
SO happy to see you feature this. There are specific details I have to try to recreate, but this is still a big help in improving my technique in masculinizing my face for a film character costume - especially for widening the nose. Everyone shows you how to contour your nose narrower but not wider.
I love this!!! ✨ ⭐️ I think it would be so helpful to many people (myself included) to also do a tutorial for how to make a face more feminine with makeup!💄 A lot of modern trends involve androgeny (which is awesome and beautiful) but it would also be really interesting to see your take on the feminine extreme as well (a lot of tutorials are a bit glamorous for everyday wear IMO and I like how you focus more on bone structure and proportions). Or you could even do a half face of each to show the power of makeup and your skills! Like the difference between hairline and eyebrow height, as well as jaw shape and how they contrast. From an artistic pov that would be sooo cool 😄 💕
Yes please Alex we need 💖
yeah, a great idea that many people could benefit from!
I’m passing this on to my trans son. Thank you and you are so LOVED!!! ♥️👏🏻♥️
This is the most unique interesting content in the beauty world on UA-cam. Well done. I cannot express how much I love this video. ❤
I know you’ve recently mentioned that you’re open to new content ideas, and something that I think you be great at given how artistic you are and your experience with close up photography, is asmr/macro makeup application videos. Like no talking and just grwm style, those videos are so satisfying and relaxing for me.
Thank you so much for this! I'm a trans guy, pre T, who loves to wear makeup but always feels like it makes me look very feminine. I'm definitely gonna use these contour and highlighting tricks from now on! This helped me a bunch!
Might seem random to some, but i needed this so badly. Thankyou so much for making this video. There are so many resources to help transfemmes fight dysphoria with makeup, but so freaking little for transmascs. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I've always been so jealous of mens facial bone structure. Aka Chris Motionless & his beautiful cheekbones. How about a rock show makeup tutorial for the boys? My boyfriend is super into glam rock & I always see some insane male looks at shows.
Both you and your "brother" are stunning! I absolutely love how your channel not only teaches people "how", but the art theory behind "why".
When u said the wider contour trick I just realised I've been doing that to make my nose look smaller 👁👄👁
No wonder it didn't work
😂 It's a common mistake! 🙌🏼
You are definitely a artist. I love watching you work.
I’m truly in awe that I’ve found this video considering I am more masculine presented stud that wears concealer I wanna try more with the make-up to enhance my look, thank you so much for this. ❤
Alexandra im actually so happy someone has done this. Rather than videos of these stupid “makeup for men” products show how all makeup is versatile. Thank you for this !
omg i absolutely LOVED this! so fun and interesting! The information is useful for so many different contexts. I especially liked when you used the contour to 'widen' your nose. I was like YES! not everyone wants to make their features smaller/thinner!
I’m a cis man but I present in a more androgynous way. This video was very fascinating and very helpful.
A couple years back, i dressed up like a male construction worker for Halloween. I did a ton of research on contouring and eyebrows and stuff. I think you nailed it!!
Side by side pictures to compare between the before and after would be helpful to spot the differences clearly.
Alex, with this tutorial, you have done more to validate innumerable people who feel marginalized and vulnerable. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough❤️
i love how you actually made the makeup masculine, not covering eyebags ou using foundation
as always, your videos are very useful ♥️
Here you go again making kick ass content. Love you and your page, Alex.
I super appreciate this type of content! Not everyone is trying to look super femme when they do makeup. You can do both (wear makeup and be masc)✨
The only other video I've found helpful for this sort of video is Lisa Eldridge's video for masculine/androgynous makeup from years ago.
Drag King makeup tutorials are helpful, but it can be hard to translate that into more natural looking makeup.
I feel like that’s going to be SO useful ❤️
This was super helpful and unexpected! My partner is trans masculine and started medically transitioning a few months ago, and he has a similar chin/face shape and fair skin as you. Yesterday he let me play around with contour on his face and this gives me some better ideas for how to practice it next time! xo
I would love to see a photographer comparison photo between you with a masculine contour and your brother since you said you look like him. Like get a side by side to see how well you did 😂
If you're curious, her brother is the youtuber graenolf
I'm sharing this with my friend (trans guy), I'm sure he'll find this sooooooooooo useful.
Thank you for sharing this
Love ya ❣
Thank you! This is super helpful as I'm wanting to start contouring for my more masculine cosplays :)
The fact that this tutorial exists just thrills me!! Thank you!
DUDE. You have no idea how much this means to me. My favorite makeup channel making a tutorial that meets my EXACT NEEDS. Thank you, from the bottom of my squishy transmasc heart. 💚💚💚
Reading all of these comments make my heart warm❤❤ sending love to you all. Congrats on the awesome video Alex:*
That’s exactly how I like to do my brows, for the exact reason that they look more masculine. Love that look so much more (personally).
I learn so much here, even if it’s not the kinda makeup thing to do for myself I still looooove learning from these videos, you do have a way of making it really engaging to watch!
I’m mother to a trans teenage girl, so more feminising make up would be great, although your beautiful and feminine so not sure it would work. Thanks for the representation 💜
all her other tutorials are to accentuate feminine shape/features
I just want to say that seeing your support of your daughter makes me so so happy. (Ignore my deadname on the google acc my name is Leo and my pronouns r he/him Im FTM) it means a lot that you’re showing her how much you love her! On behalf of trans kids whose families don’t support them, THANK YOU!
@@levimetzler3148 Why don't you just change the name then? No one needs to know. Sometimes people may purposefully misgender you and call you by your dead name once they know, especially on the Internet.
@@levimetzler3148 Thank you so much, this brought a tear to my eye 💜
@@PigeoneerToy I understand that obviously, i gained a lot of info from this vid by reversing what she said. Differences in size of forehead, chins, where emphasise bone structure. None of this info is in her other content. Accentuating feminine features is completely different to feminising masculine features
Thank you so much for this-- this is one of the most informative and thorough masculine makeup videos I've seen yet. As an afab person who came out as non-binary a few months ago, and is recognizing some discomfort and dysphoria with how I used to do my makeup and how I present (dressing very hyper-femme, as well as being a dancer and wearing exaggerated stage makeup for shows), I've been struggling lately with how I am perceived, and am wanting to come across as more masculine, so as not to be misgendered as easily... I love makeup, it's such an art form, and can be so transformative-- haha, trans-formative-- anyway, bottom line is, I'm grateful. Thanks for sharing this
Same journey here ^^
this is amazing!! thank you so much!
id love to see some 'masculine' or less feminine eyeshadow looks
As someone who doesn't understand what's a demibody, a cis girl, if trans woman means you're a woman transitioning to man or vice versa, I like learning about makeup techniques and color theory. Colorful eyeshadow looks are my favorite.
She/her but I like to do drag, thanks so much for this. You have a really beautiful speaking voice and come across as very kind and wise 🥰👌
I love how you said depends on what your goals are 😂 when referring to the natural-ness of the contouring you did
I’m first today so let me tell you: you are phenomenal!! Your chill personality, your beauty, your attitude to life ,… even your brother is great 😊!!! Keep this whole thing up 👏👏👏💖
😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Im a straight biological female and all, but I wanna cosplay one of the guys from my school so much I hope this helps me :D Thank youu!!!
I didn’t realize the impact of the contour until you did the eyebrows. It actually works!
Boyfriend hears your voice "are you watching Anele makeup again?" 😅
😂 YUP 🙌🏼
THANK YOU I NEED THIS FOR MY COSPLAYS!!!
Love these videos! Would be really cool to see before and after side by side snapshots at the end of the videos if possible :)
This is actually perfect for me. My face is very round and I'm not good at "cutting" it.
Having my face done by you is on my bucket list. 🙏🏼💖
This is great for crossplay, thank you
So many makeup youtubers wouldn't be comfortable doing this, it's awesome that you are so secure
As someone who cosplays in my free time for fun, I love this video, its very simple and well explained it helped me a ton as i was terrible in make up before
It’s crazy how much of a difference this makes. She looks like Michael Cera after the highlight on the nose bridge!
I love this video so much🖤🖤 I've been trying this for a while but haven't really mastered it, this gave me a bunch of tips I'm gonna try!
That's pretty cool and thoughtful. Pretty sure a lot people are excited about it. Thank you
Loved this, you should do one to accentuate typical female features too! 😊
as a tan asian guy, looking for tutorials has been challenging😅 I’ve resorted to making an alignment chart of asian makeup youtubers to discover and record what’s out there, and to my surprise there’s some good stuff.
You are gorgeous; love it.
Can you do a look using lavender eyeshadow?
Your creative and artistic abilities are astounding!!! Blessings to you, Alex!✌💚🙏
The only other thing I think that would help this look is contour beneath the brows to make the brows appear more "jutted" out
Emphasizing the glabella (the area between the eyebrows) also adds to the masculinization of the face! I've also heard of this feature being addressed as a "bossed forehead", versus a more traditionally "feminine" rounder and flatter forehead.
I learned this from videos of facial feminization surgeries, which address this, the chin and jaw, and the nose!!!
Also, I think the musculature of the neck and collarbone are also somewhat important to bring the entire look together!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to learn how to do this!
I’ll definitely be trying some of these techniques out, thank you! ☺️
When I started testosterone I thought my face was gonna masculinize a lot and it would be night and day but turns out my face was already pretty masculine to begin with. So if I had learned to do this make up pre-T I would look the way I do now 6 months on it.
I say this bc for a lot of people this would work! The physical differences between sex male and sex female are minimal. extreme sexual dimorphism is over represented. Humans have less sexual dimorphism than other primates, a little make up WILL go a long way
I love this representation! Thank you!!
So cool! I’m a woman and also a photographer/self portrait artist. There’s actually a photo I want to do where I’d need to look as masculine as possible, and tutorials on this subject are extremely difficult to find! This is by far the best one I’ve seen. Thank you for all the useful tips!!
Absolutely LOVE the way you just get right into your video!!! No BS!!
Also TY for always making content that actually shows different makeup techniques & how to do them!!! You are a badass!!! 🥰✌❤
This is great for theater and movie acting!!! Huge talent, Alex!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. OH MY GOD. THANK YOU. I love makeup, but I have a very androgynous face except my eyes, cuz browbone lol. I’ve been waiting for a video like this for so long omg.
THANK YOU!
I’ve seen some tutorials on masculine makeup and *oh boy*, they will *not* work on my naturally smooth and round Asian features and just makes me look horribly blocky-
Thank you for clearing up my confusion : >
Alternate title : Alex turns herself in to Graenolf in under fifteen minutes. 😂
In all seriousness, though, this is wonderful to see. 💗💗💗
