Hey, Alex ! Could you maybe do a video on powders ? Setting, loose, finishing, I have no idea what any of it means, how to use it, why or when and the Sephora ladies keep trying to sell me expensive ones. I’m actually hiding from them in the Sephora basement, as we speak
Ditto! I’m oily so powder is a must and I also have visible pores and some texture which every powder seems to emphasize! Been on the hunt for a good powder for awhile now :/
LUNA, Etude House, Rom&nd (Romand), and peripera are all Korean brands ❤ Some Japanese brands you could try if you want to do a J-beauty dive... SUQQU, ADDICTION, Canmake, Kose, Majolica Majorca, ISEHAN (also called Heroine Make sometimes for their most well known mascaras and eyeliners), Miche Bloomin, Shu Uemura, and Shiseido has cheaper products like their sub-$10 short eyebrow pencil that is SERIOUSLY slept on
Yeah ❤. Also Visée. I live in Japan and I buy my SUQQU make up at Selfridges because is cheaper than in Japan… I don’t get why. I can say the best máscaras of the whole world are from Canmake (around USD7.00). They keep your lashes up no matter what and easy to remove.
For anyone wondering what that weird plastic thing for the blush was for…I had to know! “Acclaimed by beauty bloggers, the blusher features a "cheek navi" arm that allows you to measure and line up where it is best to apply the blush.”
That's too funny, but it's the exact sort of gimmick I'd expect from an Asian beauty brand because it's aimed at helping the beginner. I think that's what really draws me to Asian makeup brands... they're just better for regular people.
If anyone is wondering about Chacott, its actually a ballet brand which explains why the shadows are so pigmented, which is not the usual preference in asian make up
"I've just decided I'm going to be fine with it...." THANK YOU, ALEX, for saying this ...and encouraging all of us to be fine with what our faces do over time as we age
Don't sleep on Japanese skin care. A lot of my most repurchased items are from brands like hada labo. They make amazing products in the $10 -$20 dollar range and beat out any American product I've tried in that price range. Sunscreen too! My current waterproof favorite is from Kose (the UV Perfect Gel SPF 50+/PA++++). It's about $11 bottle and has never let me down. No tan lines, no burning, no weird greasy texture. Very cosmetically elegant and doubles as a make-up primer.
hada labo are the goat, i’ve used their hyaluronic acid essence for literal years. the water consistency is amazing and it’s so easy to layer it up. every time i wear it under makeup i look SO well-rested and hydrated and refreshed, it’s the best.
@@cait8480 I use the Shirojyun version that has arbutin in it. It's the best skin brightener I've used since Misha reformulated the long name essence. So gentle, so effective, and the price is right. It's my Frank's Red Hot, I try to put that sh*t on everybody, lol.
Nivea and Biore sunscreens are my Japanese favorites. Hada Labo has many great products. I use their cleaners and HA serums. Suqqu is ok, but overhyped IMO. I also recently ordered Addiction and Linosol eyeshadows and they’re like Suqqu. Ok but not favorites.
I'm glad that you had a good time in my country! Alex😍 If you are seeking for Japanese makeup, drugstore is way to go! Those affordable makeup make Japanese trends! Half of the products would be K-beauty though😂 Can Make; cream blushes, cream highlighter. Majorica; Majoruca mascara, single eyeshadow Kate; eyeshadow palette, eyebrow powder palette Tinted mascara and eyebrow gel is quite popular. Don't forget eyeliners (they normally have a special section for eyeliner) Japan is a land of humid, so you can find really good long lasting eyeliner with fun shades!
"Work with your anatomy not against it" 💯💯 Wherever are shadows on your face, put your contour! Wherever bright areas on your face, put your concealer! You don't HAVE to follow these "wanna be perfect" gurus to an exact T.
I miss Japan so much. I lived there for 2 years. It was the best time of my life. The shopping was phenomenal. It was such a lovely place. I loved it and hope to go back someday.
This is the best comments section, everyone has such great suggestions ✨️ I have never been a make up person but I love these videos ✨️ Thanks Everyone! ☕️
Wow the eye look is so cool. You have such a creative eye and talent for putting colours together! I looked at the mix of eye products you had and couldn't figure out how to get a look from them, but you made them amazing. Those coloured liners are so cool and the blush is really beautiful!
The brand Fancl is pronounced as "fan-co" in English. Its a brand that focus on no parabens so better to use them up soon. The juicy lip tint is Romand, also from korea, their lip tints are the best
Now I can’t wait for a Japan business trip vlog and tutorials. These products looked so good on you! ❤🇯🇵 the nude lid look is awesome. You did one like it with the about face liquid shadow in a nude shade plus a white one. Absolute yes.
I always leave funny airy and sarcastic comments because i feel like Alex's spirit just gets it, she doesnt feel offended. But this one is a bit different. Going through a painfully hard time right now and time is slow as fuck. So seeing that this video is 30mins long is literally a gift to me right now. 30mins of not feeling what I feel. Sincerely, thank you. 🩷
I totally agree ! I love these long videos. Not to be a lonely loser but it feels like chatting at home with a friend, without the weight of having to socialize and talk back + I always learn a lot
Long videos are under appreciated! And yours are the perfect distraction from the grind that can be daily life. Thought that blush was particularly lovely x
You look amazing!! Such a pretty, colorful look 💗 As a beauty lover living in Japan I‘d recommend these products for your next Japan trip: - Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara (brand: Isehan) - Heroine Make liquid eyeliner pen (Isehan) - Brow powder (KATE) - Creamy touch liner (Canmake) - Cream rouge (Canmake) - Stay on balm rouge (Canmake) - Lip tint oil rouge lipstick (Opera) - Whipped powder blush (Shiseido) - Skincare could be another long list, but Gokujyun is a good place to start. Love their Hyaluronic Premium Lotion, but you could blindly pick up something from them and it’d probably be good 🤪 Could go on an ooon 😍 Especially canmake is so affordable and so frickin good! Hope you continue to dive into J-Beauty 💗 Last side note: the plastic thing on the blush is supposed to keep the gap between your nose and cheeks, so you don’t bring the blush too close in (hope that made sense) :)
Cute eyeliner and bb cream worked good on you! I wear really chill makeup now being almost 69. I have major folds on my eyelids so shadow and eyeliner have to be mostly Smokey. I have hooded eyes too so it’s challenging to not look freakish with eyeshadow.
Alex stg your content is the best non-intentional ASMR I've ever seen (heard?). Also, would love an updated video on how you style your hair if possible! We have a very similar haircut ahahah
Truth. I watch her videos to help me calm before I go to sleep. Sometimes, though she will say something hilarious and then I start laughing. But that’s a good thing!
this is an old video but i've been binging your content and i'm so amazed by how you play with your undereyes, i don't have much lid space so i've been more and more using my undereyes to show color and you've been inspiring me a lot!!
Oh, so cool to see a Finnish brand featured! The Annele earrings are so pretty! We had their store just open up here in Helsinki. :) Greetings from Finland!
Chacott (pronounced "sha-cot") is a Japanese dancewear brand. So their makeup is meant for dancers to wear onstage so it is long lasting and low irritant even if you are sweating etc.
This LOOK!!! This is exactly my vibe these days, too! Amassing makeup that can make it possible. Just ordered blue, green and purple mascara earlier this week! Edit: The strategy I'm going to try is to put on white mascara, let it dry, and then put blue, green or purple mascara on top of that. Not sure it'll work, but worth trying.
If you're collecting BB/CC SPF foundation alternative suggestions, I'll add Purlisse to the mix. I think it's all mineral, so Alex will tolerate it. And I love the finish it gives me. I normally only wear it if I'm doing something sporty and want coverage but won't be doing a full face and I am always impressed!
I just purchased quite a few new Korean brands, skincare & makeup, & I got an Etude fixing tint as well in Midnight Mauve, but it pulls so like...burnt orange. Was not expecting it as well. But yeah the formulas are great!
Sorry for the late reply: yeah the first 5 colors of the Fixing Tint were super disappointing for cool toned people, especially Midnight Mauve which is way too warm even though they say it’s for Summer Cool on their website lol 🙄 Idk if you’ve seen other colors since then but they’ve released colors that are a lot more suitable for cool tones. From lightest to darkest: • *08 Dusty Beige* ▸ neutral pink beige • *11 Rose Blending* ▸ cool medium pink • *[LUVISTRUE edition] 01 Lilac Pink* ▸ muted soft pink mauve • *15 Woody Pink* ▸ muted cool Mauve • *14 Rose Lilac* ▸ medium dark purple pink
There’s a Korean technique where you heat (with fire) a wooden stick and then go thru your lashes (like combing them) and they stay up all day. I do it after my mascara is dry tho
This look is one of my favorites you’ve ever done!! I’m obsessed. I need to get some colorful liners and mascaras! The makeup is just so beautiful and pretty damn awesome ❤ and I totally get it when you said how something’s always creasing 😂 starting to become fine with it as well. Thank you for sharing these and creating a stunning look to inspire us! Screenshotting for future reference ❤ glad you had a fun trip! Japanese culture is truly something special.
Love these, thanks for sharing!Pretty sure most of these products are K-beauty, as you’ve noticed. I have a lot of luck with Japanese base products because I’m neutral/warm based, it’s just finding something pale enough. So glad you enjoyed it here! Also, you’re so right that Japanese makeup is incredibly subtle, every eye shadow is full of shimmer… strong pigment is hard to find, and formulas are gorgeous. For skincare SKII is the best you can get. Worth the money ❤
The next time you went to Japan, I think you should try the Cefine Silk Wet Powder, it's the powder foundation that a Japanese actress use in her vogue GRWM video. So long I forget her name, but it provide like super crazy coverage with a thin layer.
This is a fantastic look!! I love you’re creativity. Also now I need to go shopping in Japan, for makeup not clothes. I’m plus sized and so I doubt I’d find anything.
Hey Alex, I love your videos. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for the very pink blush look that is seen a lot lately from Charlotte Tilbury and Pat Mcgrath. It's so beautiful and looks so good on anyone! ❤
I just located my Bare Minerals Well Rested after a couple years of being lost in a travel bag. WOW, I’d forgotten how magical that stuff is. Disappears a blemish.
Haha I quickly peeked at your description to see what you bought and the Korean brand you seem to be unsure about is rom&nd! It’s a great brand by Korean beauty UA-camr Saerom Min :)
@@raluci yeah I have to agree but oh well you know. Tbh I’m so used to it when people try things out from Asia (especially food) (fyi I’m Asian). They see other alphabets/languages and can’t really tell the difference. They buy things when they travel and expect them to be from the country they buy it from, ignoring that globalization and commerce are a thing haha- which is pretty funny because if you go to any big shop in the US you wouldn’t expect to find only American brands… but they still assume otherwise when they travel. And of course few people actually take the time to look things up even when the info is right in front of them e.g. the Juicy Lasting Tint link in the description goes to YesStyle where the name of the brand is written plain as day with a Korean flag on the side. At least I know Alex has *probably* no ill will, and most likely wouldn’t mind being corrected and learning about all the brands and stuff… when some other people definitely don’t care and would just ignore everything.
It’s so incredible how I watched saerom min before knowing she even had a brand, and what brand it was 😂 so the fact that they’re affiliated in any way is still mindblowing to me
@@Kalidreamineme I found out that she was behind that brand really late lol. Btw they just launched a sister brand, NUSE. The lip serums and lip balms I’ve seen so far are very cute- soft and muted colors with a lot of glow.
Cute look! I like the lip color too. I brought a few of the UZU eye liners on line and really like them. I have the blue one and will try a similar look.
I’ve been watching too much UA-cam because this color combo is TryGuys 😂 Always thought Asian make up would suit you due to your olive tone. Love that you were able to buy some while in Japan.
I use Decorte powder from Japan. It’s fantastic! Funny thing is, I know I bought it because of a You Tube makeup guru and I had thought it was you. Now I’m guessing not because you would have bought some to save on shipping :)
Hey, Alex ! Could you maybe do a video on powders ? Setting, loose, finishing, I have no idea what any of it means, how to use it, why or when and the Sephora ladies keep trying to sell me expensive ones. I’m actually hiding from them in the Sephora basement, as we speak

im so lost with finding good but affordable ones
Oh yes please. Great idea

Thank u so much for finding the info on it. I was searching online and couldn’t find anything about that plastic arm.
Thank you! Came to the comments to see if anyone knows 😂

the fact that u went shopping in Japan and fell in love with K-beauty!!!!
The colors of the eye makeup are giving buzz light year 💫👾❇️🌀

You managed to get the two most viral Korean beauty lip tints! The brand is Romand and their eyeshadows and blushers are also amazing
The la roche posay bb cream is a holy grail for A LOT of Japanese girlies❤

The colors of the blush and the tears eyeliner were so pretty and natural against your skin tone.
The lipstick is called Rom&nd (romand) and they have some pretty nice formulas
I just purchased quite a few new Korean brands, skincare & makeup, & I got an Etude fixing tint as well in Midnight Mauve, but it pulls so like...burnt orange. Was not expecting it as well. But yeah the formulas are great!

From lightest to darkest:

There’s a Korean technique where you heat (with fire) a wooden stick and then go thru your lashes (like combing them) and they stay up all day. I do it after my mascara is dry tho

Always thought Asian make up would suit you due to your olive tone. Love that you were able to buy some while in Japan.
Love it!
You look beautiful and make everything work soo pretty 😊
Étude House is faaaaab! Their lip-mousses are amazing and brow crayons 👌🏼
One of my fav looks! U look incredible!!❤❤
I use Decorte powder from Japan. It’s fantastic! Funny thing is, I know I bought it because of a You Tube makeup guru and I had thought it was you. Now I’m guessing not because you would have bought some to save on shipping :)
I love love the whole make up especially the eyes!!! You’re such a talented artist❤.
LOVED THIS MAKEUP SOOO CUTE
Wow what a beautiful look! I love the green and blue eye liners! Reminds me of urban decay from the late 2000s ❤
Hi Alex. Love, love, love it. What an amazing look on you! ❤
Nice, would be cool to see a video on Japanese brands more, not just kbeauty, which is very popular here in Japan too 😊
Wow Alex, all of these face products look amazing on you!! I really need that concealer and contour palette in my life lol!
What an amazing look. So fabulous.
LOVE this look AND those fabulous earrings!!❤
