Well, first of all I always appreciate you comments. But this has to be one of the great compliments ever. Cause when I'm filming it doesn't feel clear at all 😂
@@AlexandraAnele Trust me your videos flow seamlessly and are full of accomplishable results through your practical approach and easy to follow guidance :)
ok believe it or not, I saw this video yesterday and tried this technique here (for my faceshape, more like oval) + your nose contour techique today and I got compliment from a stranger for how pretty I look (like in real life) FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE wtf!!! thank you haha!
i think beauty gurus nowadays say : ' you need to use this product to achieve this look.' but what the people actually need is: ' I can show you HOW to achieve a look.' . And this is what this girl is doing. No special product, no high end fashion, just information, skill and knowledge transfer. I'm absolutely in love
That was absolutely unique I am pretty darn old and with a sunken in face and sunken in eyes that was such a big help I'm going to start putting light colors in those sunken in places thank you so much so great video all of yours are💟
right, everyones just doing the same makeup looks and using the same techniques without trying to make it individual to them and their features...i really want makeup to enhance and work with what I already have
Went to beauty school and learned almost nothing except to set your makeup and some special effects makeup. I should’ve just gave you my tuition because I have learned so much. So, excited to try makeup on diff face shapes now
@Mara Oliver Many beauty schools only touch a small portion and cover what they need to for you to pass state tests. Which is really sad since a good amount of money goes into it and we're not really taught that much.
@@briannaex8627 lol no kidding, I remember the professors would give us time to watch UA-cam videos to learn that way instead, but I am not complaining 😂
I just want to thank you for posting true tutorials. Vs people claiming it’s a tutorial but really it’s trying new makeup and doing the same exact thing every time.
You're a breath of fresh air! We all started watching tutorials to learn this stuff but got caught up in drama and tea, and it's nice to just sit back and actually learn for once.
Savannah Knight YES I just started watching her and subscribed for the same reasons! Lol every little comment is so funny . But she’s super smart and talented! I’m so entertained!! 💖🙌🏼🔥
You are literally the beauty tutorial guru I’ve been waiting years for! You are such an amazing communicator and your examples are so helpful. Thank you so much!
I don’t know if this comment is going to make sense, and I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m actually a fan of your videos. Like good job but that’s just my opinion.
I'm very self conscious about my face.im 63 year's old.im quite fascinated by the way you have demonstrated how to contour different facial shapes..I'm going to try this technique myself.thank you for making this video.
Can I just thank you for starting your recordings without your makeup on. You are a beautiful young woman with a beautifully ‘normal’ face. As someone with BDD, it makes me feel so ugly when I’m constantly bombarded with images of impossibly perfect people (clearly not natural). You are helping people in more ways than you can imagine and possibly intended. Thank you from my heart to yours 🙏❤️
So incredibly helpful! I’ve watched/read so many contouring tutorials since the first ABH contour palette came out and no one has broken it down by actual face AREAS. It’s actually helpful and made me finally “get” what’s right for my own unique face shape. Also wanted to thank you for all the fair olive skin videos, I’m not olive but my sister is and has always had a hard time figuring out her “witchy” undertones as she calls them 😂
I didn't do make up for a long time and decided to renew my knowledge but almost all I can find is tutorials for some looks without normal explanations. So glad I found this channel
I just closed my Pinterest tab because I got bored while I was searching for countouring (all the pins are same) then opened YT and saw your video. Now I'm going to erase all my cheeks and jaw. Thank you'
I'm just liking everyone else's comments as if this is my video and I'm thankful for the comments🤣 But seriously I love how straight to the point your videos are, and especially your personality and goofiness. It's refreshing 😌
Can’t believe it’s taken UA-cam this long to recommend your channel! 😱 Thank you for taking the time to entertain and educate us with your beauty tips! Instant subscribe! 😍❤️💄
I love how real you are! Most beauty UA-camrs put on a fake voice or personality, but you are so expressive and honest! Definitely subscribed! I love how detailed and helpful this video is 💕
By far the most helpful video I’ve seen in the 12 years I’ve been watching beauty UA-cam. Well done!! Now I understand how to work my heart shaped face better 🥰
I just discovered your channel and I have to say im so happy to get ACTUAL REAL MAKEUP TIPS!! along with Robert welsh Wayne Goss you are now another favorite 😚..this video helped ALOT!! Merci 👍🏾😚
You: "I dont know if it's helpful" Me: IT IS HELPFUL!!! I like that you really teach how to do it personally, not just saying things for every face uniformly like: "use contour and draw 3 on your face" like that is what I've known for years, without really knowing "WHY?"
Helpful?! Like others have said this was a damn masterclass! I am 51 years old and I have watched a lot of contour videos and this was by far the most helpful.
Honestly. This. Is. Everything. Yes def extremely helpful. I’ve gotten so tired of extreme vagueness and no being able to find any thing that is actually teaching in depth, love this
Ok, so I've been basically completely isolated since 3/21/2020 due to COVID-19. I work fully remote and my husband works in an isolated bunker as a power grid controller for days at a time. Soooo, I'm alone A LOT. Like, losing my internal monologue level alone. Seriously started vocalizing my stream of consciousness at my cats, lol. So, I decided that since my own face is the one I see the most now, I should be a bit more into it. I started watching tutorials and was incredibly intimidated. I felt like I needed so many products and devices to even get started really using makeup properly. Then I found you and I just wanted to say thank you so so sooooo much for your communication style. You are incredibly detailed, but not at all condescending. I am not irritated by your tone or choice of words at any point so I stay engaged and retain your instructions. You go into the true basics of face shape, skin tone and product placement demonstrating what works for you but also what will work for others as well and explaining WHY. I love, love, LOVE that you tell me what products you have already applied before you start. I won't even go into the frustration I have experienced during other videos where I thought I was going to get some base instruction and felt like a complete idiot because I simply could not get even close to their results. Well, now I understand that was because they already had quite a lot going on that I did not. Basically like running a 200 meter dash on the outside lane from a straight line start. Not factoring in that curve means it is impossible to win. OH! and also freaking lighting. I'm intelligent, but I'm and accountant not an artist. That was a lot of info, but to summarize, thank you. You are great and I truly appreciate you
This is so awesome to watch! I just love how you can do all the different face shapes and I actually saw them change your face just as you explained... you are so beautiful Alex.. love your videos ❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️
This is bloody amazing, wish I had seen this video years and years ago! You are genuinely the best beauty guru to follow and so inclusive with the things you teach x
I followed your tips today and OH MY GOD! it transformed my face... you are so right.. every face is different and every makeup artist I watched has a thin long face with a small nose and amazing cheekbones, and whenever I try to follow their tutorials with my round face and knobby nose I look ridiculous ... but I did not know better, now thanks to you I do know better ...love you
Hell yeah it was helpful!! I've been trying to contour my face for the longest time, but it just wasn't working. I've watched hours of YT, but every time I tried to follow the tips I just came away from the experience depressed; I was just too incompetent with make up, stupid, un-teachable. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can learn! After this video I tried one more time following your very easy to understand, logical, reasoned explanations, and DAMN - I felt sooo pretty! First time I ever felt that way w/ contour. I bow to your greatness!
i seriously love you. you're clearly very knowledgeable about makeup, and you're doing a great job educating us!! i appreciate it so much because, you're not only showing and doing, but explaining why it's significant to do this and that. thank you :') edit: also i love your voice and i think you're very pretty with and without makeup! your videos makes it feel like i'm talking to a friend.
Okay straight up this was so helpful. Thank you for explaining and showing the "why" of where you put the light or dark. I feel a lot more confident trying stuff now lol really liking your vids!
To be honest, this is the best contour explanation video I have seen and it helps me so much🙊 I just started to try to contour and now I know a lot more, thank you
I can finally learn makeup! For someone that has ADD this is priceless!!!! You get to the point and actually show us how! Thank you! 💕 just found your channel! 🙏🏻😊
Girl I LOVE your videos, especially when you teach!!! I don’t want a 2 min video. I want details. I want all the info I can soak up from you!! Please keep giving us educational videos!!! From basics, to some Pat McGrath eye looks!!! Please, please, please!!! And thank you!! Your videos DO HELP!!! And they ARE GOOD!!! 😘😘😘😘
You are a seriously entertaining personality to watch, such a wonderful vocabulary and mannerisms. You're obviously very intelligent, knowledgeable and vivacious. Thank you for not being a clone!
Love your videos! You are so right; everything start at getting to know your face shape and then, determine what areas you want to bring out and the ones needing to be unseen or blurred. As an artist you have that knowledge in your inner being; for us we need a lot of teaching; so thank you Alex! 🥰
I searched heart shape face makeup and UA-cam transcripted you saying “I have a heart shape face” and I’m so glad you came up ❤ ur so good at explaining with just enough detail
First ever makeup artist that I can understand :< been watching your vids since last night and I can't stop 💖 we have the same first name too ❤️ YT needs to appreciate u more :(((
You’re so well versed.. You don’t need to rely on the habit of “if that makes sense?” after every valid idea. It’s self-deprecating and undermines your worthy points.. It’s okay to own what you know, especially when you’re sharing your own experience. My first year as a nurse, I’d end every statement speaking to patients like that.. “It’s usually easier to eat soup with a spoon, instead of a fork.. If that makes sense?” Or even to my higher ups.. “I needed to piggyback that, so he didn’t his bowels, if that makes sense?” Sis, it makes sense to you, and you did your diligence, then that’s why we’re all watching. Be your sassy and brassy self
This has been the best contour guide I've seen by far. I have a diamond face shape which is narrow at the temples, really wide cheeks and ultra small jawline. All the other contour guides just shows one type of contouring, which accentuates my problem areas. So I always feel intimidated by the idea of contouring. This is really helpful. Thanks And to the point
Me: Usually hates when anyone drops compliments about themselves and feels internally compelled to squinty-eye judge. Alexandra Anele seriously just so genuine and likable: "I have a tiny cute face" Me: Aww yeah, you do! :)
I’m obsessed with your channel. I have pale olive skin and a heart shaped face so it’s SO hard to find tutorials and products that work for me Not enough youtubers that I can relate to 😩
This is seriously one of the best contouring videos I've seen. Excellent explanation and demonstration of how the whole concept works. Just... love your videos!!!
thank you so much for creating videos that actually teach us something about makeup. it reminds me of the beginning of the beauty youtubers... when it wasnt all reviews, sponsored posts and collabs, but actual tutorials. thank you!
Not sure if you're ever going to read this but I am getting a tried next week and I will be doing my own makeup. I have known what I wanted to do for quite some time now and every time I practice I feel like 'i am getting there' but I could use some improvement. I love the way Regina/Picturesque does her makeup and how she is very precise with placement to change her features but she doesn't talk at all in her videos and it's hard to follow along without any explanation. Then UA-cam recommend your blush placement video to me and I have fallen down this rabbit hole of actual helpful education. Thank you so so much, I feel like I am actually understanding now!
Holy moly! Your videos are LITTERALLY THE BEST! You are so knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! It helps us all SO much!! Thank you! Thank you!!!😊✌💚🙏
Finally, a non ditsy "oh ma gawd welcome back to my like totally cool channel, like um, I love you all like um so much AND WITHOUT FURTHER A'DO LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN" make up channel. Thought this day would never come. So glad to also have not heard "Tap off the excess" every 3 seconds.
I always get confused about my face shape. Sometimes i think is heart shape, and sometimes i is kinda round but with a square vibe on the sides😅. So i do the less contouring cause i think it might look weird if i do to much.
This is, by far, the most helpful contour video I've seen! I have (for me) a very hard face to contour, and I can't relate to other people's faces and videos. I know this is 1 year old so I get if you don't see this comment. But thank you so much!!! (Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language).
I used to do this every day. Thing is...make up fades throughout the day unless you think about it constantly and touch it up constantly 😂 so when you don’t have the time for that...well, one minute you got some killer cheekbones and an hour later...you’re an egg again hahah
I have never understood makeup nor had interest in it until quarantine hit and you’re just absolutely one of my favorite channels to watch. Straightforward, relatable, and absolutely informative. I’m ready to look much pulled together, thanks to you!
weird question: if i really like my forehead shape, would it look weird if i just contoured only my cheekbones and jawline and just didn't touch my forehead at all??
i would add a touch of bronzer like bacdvg g said close to your hairline, it will just add some dimension and pull it all together without changing your forehead shape
I honestly feel like of all the make up artists I have watched your channel is the best channel on how to do make up because people are so vague in expressing how various looks work but you are able to communicate clearly and thoroughly.
Thank you for the tips for narrow faces, and for the tip on literally feeling your cheekbone ! Your pic of Reese Witherspoon helped me so much because I realized I have her pointy chin.
Your videos are the most helpful I've seen. You explain what you're doing in a way that makes it easier to understand. Even though I can't do exactly as you do in the same manner, due to my old ass skin, I do learn something from every video you do. And I enjoy your personality! You Rock!!
Every single one of your "How to ____" videos is a free masterclass on makeup and YT does not appreciate you enough
😭🙌🏼🙏🏼
Alexandra Anele I love you Alex!! Thank you so much for evolving my makeup game 😩😭🥺🥺
Yes!!!
Christy W seriously, I’m taking notes as a working makeup artist!
Emily Boling that’s dedication right there
I cannot believe the artistic talent, the depth of knowledge, the fine detail of your clear conscious awareness of how you apply makeup.
Well, first of all I always appreciate you comments. But this has to be one of the great compliments ever. Cause when I'm filming it doesn't feel clear at all 😂
@@AlexandraAnele Trust me your videos flow seamlessly and are full of accomplishable results through your practical approach and easy to follow guidance :)
Right shes got such eloquence, I can tell she knows what she's talking about!
You're such a smart women I love it!!!
Totally agree! Just found her channel and love it so much!
i like how she just like goes straight into the point and it’s not like edited like with music and bubbles and stuff.Its rlly like...calming??
Arta okohvan It’s like the opposite of Jackie Aina
you seem rlly like...unsure??
Yup i love that❤
ok believe it or not, I saw this video yesterday and tried this technique here (for my faceshape, more like oval) + your nose contour techique today and I got compliment from a stranger for how pretty I look (like in real life) FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE wtf!!! thank you haha!
Omg that's so awesome girl!!!!
Mara Oliver why?
Which country..?
All that product she’s sacrificing for us, she must really want us looking snatched 👌🏽❤️ I appreciate!
😂 I’m here for you ❤️
Wtf
I love the absolute refusal of you to start your videos the way everyone else starts their videos haha
I've always had a hard time figuring out what my face shape even is
Sean Ian
I think you have a medium heart shape 🤔 maybe? Idk
Sean Ian same
You and me both!
Sean Ian ME TOO
Look at yourself in the mirror and trace the outside of your face on the mirror with a dry erase marker! That helped me
i think beauty gurus nowadays say : ' you need to use this product to achieve this look.' but what the people actually need is: ' I can show you HOW to achieve a look.' . And this is what this girl is doing. No special product, no high end fashion, just information, skill and knowledge transfer. I'm absolutely in love
You+ally art taught me more about makeup than all of UA-cam. Everyone is trying to look the same now
Maryam Bangura Same! They are my two favorites and they’re very informative
That was absolutely unique I am pretty darn old and with a sunken in face and sunken in eyes that was such a big help I'm going to start putting light colors in those sunken in places thank you so much so great video all of yours are💟
Yes, Aly Art is also amazing!
right, everyones just doing the same makeup looks and using the same techniques without trying to make it individual to them and their features...i really want makeup to enhance and work with what I already have
Yes exactly!!! Everyone's just blindly following trends, the whole lifted eyes, big lips not going to be flattering for everyone😕
Went to beauty school and learned almost nothing except to set your makeup and some special effects makeup.
I should’ve just gave you my tuition because I have learned so much.
So, excited to try makeup on diff face shapes now
@Mara Oliver Many beauty schools only touch a small portion and cover what they need to for you to pass state tests. Which is really sad since a good amount of money goes into it and we're not really taught that much.

I’m obsessed with your channel. I have pale olive skin and a heart shaped face so it’s SO hard to find tutorials and products that work for me
Not enough youtubers that I can relate to 😩
This is seriously one of the best contouring videos I've seen. Excellent explanation and demonstration of how the whole concept works. Just... love your videos!!!
One of the hardest parts of contouring my face evenly is that the left side of my jaw is bigger than the right so ya girl is STRUGGLING
Is it because you chew more on one side?
@@Durka-Durka interesting theory, im not entirely sure if chewing affects your facial muscle but it is plausible
thank you so much for creating videos that actually teach us something about makeup. it reminds me of the beginning of the beauty youtubers... when it wasnt all reviews, sponsored posts and collabs, but actual tutorials. thank you!
I just found this channel and we have a similar face shape, eye shape and skin tone. My life just became 200% easier
Not sure if you're ever going to read this but I am getting a tried next week and I will be doing my own makeup. I have known what I wanted to do for quite some time now and every time I practice I feel like 'i am getting there' but I could use some improvement. I love the way Regina/Picturesque does her makeup and how she is very precise with placement to change her features but she doesn't talk at all in her videos and it's hard to follow along without any explanation. Then UA-cam recommend your blush placement video to me and I have fallen down this rabbit hole of actual helpful education. Thank you so so much, I feel like I am actually understanding now!
Giiiirl! This is sooooo freaking helpful!! You’re the best 💕
Holy moly! Your videos are LITTERALLY THE BEST! You are so knowledgeable and helpful! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!! It helps us all SO much!! Thank you! Thank you!!!😊✌💚🙏
This is THE BEST contouring video I’ve seen. Thank you for your time and work👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😭 thank you so much babe! ❤️❤️❤️
a straight to the point queen please neva change luv
Finally, a non ditsy "oh ma gawd welcome back to my like totally cool channel, like um, I love you all like um so much AND WITHOUT FURTHER A'DO LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN" make up channel. Thought this day would never come.
So glad to also have not heard "Tap off the excess" every 3 seconds.
the attention span line got me 🤣👌 love your videos they're so clear and there's no distracting background music. Will be sure to try out your tips.
I don’t mind watching the ads for her
Your videos are the best. Love that you really teach how to determine what to do!
I always get confused about my face shape. Sometimes i think is heart shape, and sometimes i is kinda round but with a square vibe on the sides😅. So i do the less contouring cause i think it might look weird if i do to much.
This is, by far, the most helpful contour video I've seen! I have (for me) a very hard face to contour, and I can't relate to other people's faces and videos.
I know this is 1 year old so I get if you don't see this comment. But thank you so much!!!
(Sorry for my grammar, English is not my first language).
I used to do this every day. Thing is...make up fades throughout the day unless you think about it constantly and touch it up constantly 😂 so when you don’t have the time for that...well, one minute you got some killer cheekbones and an hour later...you’re an egg again hahah
I have never understood makeup nor had interest in it until quarantine hit and you’re just absolutely one of my favorite channels to watch. Straightforward, relatable, and absolutely informative. I’m ready to look much pulled together, thanks to you!
weird question: if i really like my forehead shape, would it look weird if i just contoured only my cheekbones and jawline and just didn't touch my forehead at all??
I think you could just use it very closely to hairline just to harmonise the colour and shades of your face:)
I've always wondered this too
i would add a touch of bronzer like bacdvg g said close to your hairline, it will just add some dimension and pull it all together without changing your forehead shape
I honestly feel like of all the make up artists I have watched your channel is the best channel on how to do make up because people are so vague in expressing how various looks work but you are able to communicate clearly and thoroughly.
“I mean, it is warped! F*ck mirrors” is perfect.
Thanks for this. I am old and have never known how to do any of this
Thank you for the tips for narrow faces, and for the tip on literally feeling your cheekbone ! Your pic of Reese Witherspoon helped me so much because I realized I have her pointy chin.
„So this is how you make your forehead look smaller"
Me: laughs in bangs
The thoughtful instruction in your videos is so fresh and very needed. Thank you.
at 1:01 when you try to push your hair back lol, me after i had long hair and cut it short
Your videos are the most helpful I've seen. You explain what you're doing in a way that makes it easier to understand. Even though I can't do exactly as you do in the same manner, due to my old ass skin, I do learn something from every video you do. And I enjoy your personality! You Rock!!
finally i was tired of lookin like a potatoe
