    You're a true artist, Alex. Your understanding & explanation of where to place light & dark colours is honestly unmatched. No one has ever made shading & highlighting make as much sense to me as you. And your placement of products is always so intentional and we can actually see the changes in your face happening as you explain then execute it.
    You're unbelievably talented.

    Hi! Can you talk about setting and finishing powders? Like which formulas look for, which ones work well with flash photography and which ones don't, which ones to use on different areas of the face, which brands you recommend etc. Products are so expensive, I really don't know where to start. I just use pressed powder for everything but I don't think it looks anywhere near as good as yours. I don't know what you used, but it TRANSFORMED your makeup at the end. LOVE your videos, thank you for such good content! ❤❤❤❤

    I find this quite funny in a sense , because your face is in pretty good normal porportion . Its just that we are so used to seeing surgically enhanced or procedure enhanced that we think our cheeks aren't full enough , my face is wide etc
    All different shaped faces are normal , we need to compare our faces back in the 60's before filler , botox , buckle fat removal , implants , brow lifts , coloured contacts to create the perfect sky blue eye .
    I mean contour away because you want to be more snatched maybe , but not because you have imperfections .

    Alex, I have a sunscreen recommendation for you! I have the same problem as you do where chemical sunscreens sting my eyes no matter what. about a week ago I bought the haruharu wonder black rice mineral sunscreen, and for me it replaces the cetaphil sheer mineral liquid sunscreen that I'd been using. the cetaphil sunscreen wasn't perfect but it was the best I could find, and I prefer the haruharu one, since it's spf 50+ instead of spf 50, doesn't make my face so shiny, and isn't oily and runny like the cetaphil. I got mine from amazon (it's also sold on yesstyle) for about $12, which is great as I'd been paying about $15 for the cetaphil sunscreen in stores. love u and ur videos!!!

    When I do my makeup recently… because I am 49 yrs old, with dry skin, I do my prep, clean, hydrated skin first of all. But I do my concealer, my cream contour and blush, because I have freckle’s across my nose and like seeing them. Then I lightly apply foundation to my face to balance out my complexion. I find it makes me use less product, and I don’t get weighed down with extra product to my skin than needed.
