I’ve watched your videos for almost a year and never commented before but it just hit me that your videos really help with my anxiety. You have such a calming presence about you. I appreciate how you talk about and show products without making me feel the need to compulsively shop, instead you just inform your viewers. You’re awesome. Thank you for all the work you put into this channel and community. Enjoy your well deserved break 😁
Nikki La Rose just gave you the BEST shout out Alex in her latest vid of her May favourites. You received some incredibly well-deserved accolades, so as you take your step back from YT, please remember how much you are respected and appreciated by so many people - professional MUA’s as well as us regular gals. Take care of yourself as you need to sweetheart. You know what you need, and we’ll be here when you’re ready to come back. Big, warm hug from down here in Australia 🥰💄🇦🇺
I’m sixty - seeing young women take time to strengthen their mental health is something my generation learned very late. So proud to see your generation take charge of it! And I have learned so many new and better techniques from you! Especially that I’m a fair light warm olive haha only took decades!
GIRL! you could not possibly lose us now. No way. Everyone needs downtime, you produce CONSTANTLY, and your content is excellent, its above & beyond. Take allllll the time off you need. We'll have so much fun when you get back!❤
Would never know that you were basically self taught. Your makeup is always beautiful and flawless! At 64 I’m finally getting more into makeup and learning so much from You Tubers like you. Enjoy your break. Everyone needs one now and again. We’ll be here when you return!❤
You do you, Alex! Don't worry about us, we'll be here when you're ready to come back! And thank you for continuing to put out solid content, even when you haven't been feeling it. You've never half-assed it, and we really do appreciate all your hard work. Looking forward to whatever's next. Good luck!
Hey Alex, don't feel bad for taking a break. Silence is necessary to understand the music. Sometimes stopping and taking perspective is necessary. Do your art Alex, whatever brings joy and enthusiasm! That's my request. This is what Id love to see from you. Enjoy your break and the time to connect with yourself ❤ I shall miss you
The baked formulas start out as a liquid, then baked for 24 hours. Italy does a lot of baked formulas. I look forward to seeing what you've been working on during your time away. Take care of yourself, and hugs for your kitty. You've been really working hard lately so please take the time you need. I'll be here when you come back. I love you Alexandra 🩷
As an Artist myself, its really hard to carve out time to create my own art with a full time job. And rarely, even the best Artists I know are able to make a living creating the art they want to create. It's a tough world out there!
All the channels I love have reduced output to increase quality. (ie prioritising the content creators own creative fulfilment, self care and work/life balance, health needs etc, their satisfaction in the research and production quality of their work etc) I hang out for those once a fortnight or once a month videos and really enjoy them. Do what you need to do.
I personally don't think people understand how demanding being on TH-cam or social media would be. I could NEVERRRRRRRRRR. I don't have to stamina, I need down time. We will be sad not to see you for a month, but I always enjoy re-watching past favourite videos anyway :) One suggestion I had for a video was looking at Korean style makeup. I love how your style is more about subtly, and about enhancing your individual beauty, which is (I think) what a lot of Korean makeup is all about. I love how they apply makeup very gradually but the end result is stunning. I feel like you'd be good at recreating this kind of style. Also, I don't see many Korean style makeup on non Asian faces. I dunno, just a suggestion!
That One Size setting mist is an absolute must for me. I live in southern AZ where we typically start reaching 100* in May, and stay that way through September, and it's only a "dry heat" until monsoons roll in, but you start sweating from the heat in April and stay that way through November. That setting spray is the only one that really keeps my makeup in place as I walk in and out of the heat and humidity, and even through misters on restaurant patios. (I also have oily skin, which typically makes my makeup fall apart, but not after spraying it with this!)
I’ve Hazel eyes too. What i do is watch which of her videos make her eyes pop the most… and i recreate/adapt them to my eyes. In no particular order: Deep purple, navy eyeliner and a pop of grey/taupe, as well as more terracotta/apricot tones (usually recommended for blue eyes) seem to really work too.
I'm not a makeup wearing person as a rule, and as a middle-aged scientist (with crepey skin and bags under my eyes) I'm luckily not in a job that would require it. When I wear anything to work I want it to look as if I wasnt wearing anything. But I like to be playful - and for some reason i don't quite understand I really love your channel and sometimes try out some of your techniques. So - thanks! You're smart and thoughtful and opinionated, which is all things I enjoy. Take the time you need and I hope all turns out well fror you.
I have been watching you for years and have gotten so many fantastic tips on makeup and hair from you and I just love watching you. You are honest , down to earth and you truly care about giving great content..I will miss watching you and wait for you to come back , hopefully rested and ready to take in the world❤️❤️!!
Dude, your skin and makeup look amazing today! (Loving the blush especially.) I would love to see an eye look with that Sleepyhead palette. When you're ready, of course. Enjoy your break, take all the time you need. Recharging your batteries is critical. Do you. You owe us nothing, and anyone who gets pissy needs a fucking hobby. Love you (appropriately).
I started looking at your videos while trying to distract myself from the worry I was experiencing from taking care of my sick dog and now I can do concealer and eyeshadow 😂😘 so Thank you 😅 Oh and my dog is fine 🎉
I am looking forward to your beginner videos. I’m 64 and have issues with blending out freckling patches. Your ability to get that flawless natural skin look with your makeup is amazing. During Covid I didn’t wear much makeup due to the mask. Getting back into makeup now, I realize I really want to update and freshen my makeup. A video for older beginners would be wonderful. Something focusing on blending out heavily pigmented areas, dry skin under base care, sunscreens (I am going to try your recommended Biore), marionette lines, lid sagging and crepy issues. Perhaps bringing in someone who is older to demonstrate who be helpful. Also a video on skin care focusing on maintaining moisture, retinols, and skin lighteners for removing/lessening spots from sun damage. Gentle makeup removal and skin cleansers for sensitive older skin - basic skincare maintenance, too please. I have done well up to now, but with your help I know I can do better. I’ve been watching you for two years now picking up tips, and I like your genuineness and honest approaches with regard to new products. There’s so much out there that it’s overwhelming sometimes. I look to you to “cull the herd” and make it easier. Thank you for all you do. Enjoy your well deserved time off. Refresh and renew your beautiful self. 🦋
🌞🌻 Will dive into old videos during your hiatus to keep getting my skills up .. Thankyou for creating such a great library to reference I have loved your content and company for a long time and learned a lot already ❤
The older i get and the more i learned from you, Gabi, and KJH the more i love and want sheerer products and application - and i think this will be my very first purchase of makeup by Mario's!! I love the look of those contour/bronzers i must try one 😍
Only june off... I'm really glad it's not a year (which I would totally understand 😃) Take your time and enjoy working on your big project. I found your channel recently to get some ideas for my wedding makeup, falling (again) in love with Makeup after some time off. You do a great job and I love your authentic style of explaining everything and being so funny and confident. Thank u! ❤
Yes Alexandra!!!!! Take care of yourself!!! I will super miss you while you are gone, but like, I want you to take care of yourself. I love your content, I watch all of your videos. Every single one. I’m sure there are a few I’ve missed, but I do try. Enjoy yourself! Get recharged!
I have got videos to catch up on so get yourself that break! I think that beginners tutorial will be so worth it. I find your tutorials are the kind that last and I go back to them so I definitely look forward to that
Alex I have been watching you for a very long time, def before you blew up with over a million followers. I love how humble you are not to mention adorable.
You’re amazing! Take your time. I am inspired by your creativity and if you need a break then please take it! Artists need healing time and quiet and peace in order to be reinvigorated sometimes. All of your true viewers support you no matter what. 🌸💜
Enjoy your break! We’ll be here when you come back. Maybe consider decreasing posting schedule to once a week when you come back…it might be more sustainable creatively and for life balance. I know Angie Hot and Flashy cut back to once a week and it didn’t hurt her channel at all. 😘💕❤️
I just took 3 months off work and it was life changing. I’m so happy for you that you are taking a break! Do other stuff, clear out the cobwebs, rest. When you come back you’ll be refreshed in a way you didn’t even expect.
For next time - how best can hooded eye people play with duochromes and foils? How do I do it well especially as I’m getting older - I want to be classy as befits my age but also love to peacock with my eyes sometimes but am slightly intimidated of foils/duos as much as I love the look of them on others 🎉❤
I'd love to see some looks for glasses wearers if you're open? Particularly for those with hooded eyes who like to experiment with graphic liners and colours. If it matters, I have a deep skin tone. Edit: Absolutely put yourself first and take the time you need. Wishing you fulfilling rest and joy!
Give us all of the colorful eye looks!! I loved and recreated the purple Emma look you just did..stunning!! And take all the time you need! Everyone needs time to do what they love ❤️
You’ve done so much for us; time for yourself to find your fulfillment is soooo necessary for happiness. Enjoy your time, and I hope you can stop chasing for something that may be right in front of you. 💝
Have you tried anything from Lorac? I never hear anyone talk about it and I have the pro contour palette and it’s phenomenal. The tones are perfection and versatile for fair-light even medium skin. It’s a powder formula and blends effortlessly. Idk just wanna tell everyone, but especially for us fair weird tone peoples 😂
Hi Alex I tried the one size setting spray and its like spraying hair spray I didnt like it mostly all my friends hate. Looking foward to your review. Thank you for all you do keep the colorfull makeup coming. Thank you ❤
Hi Alex. Know that we all stand behind you in all you do. So have at it we’ll be here. Thank you a hundredfold for the Wonderskin eyeliner. I bought the black and it does stay on my waterline all day. Never seen anything like it. Must be Wonderskin’s super power. Thanks. ❤
I'd LOVE to see an in depth video about CONTOURING + HIGHLIGHTING 🙏🙌 I've been successfully ignoring both, but - I'm getting older (38yo), my face is getting saggier and puffier at the same time (pcos), a resting b*tch face is getting installed on my once pretty features - I don't think I can ignore them any longer 😅 ENJOY YOUR BREAK!
Yesss! Please do the Karla palette. I love your colourful eye looks. So inspiring omg! Do one with the pigments too. It is Pride month after all. Go full unicorn! 🦄🌈🫶🏾
For the O/S setting spray, I have combo skin and I love it. I use it for setting and sometimes even as a layer over primer and before foundation to really have things locked down. I don’t find it too drying but dehydration and oil building up are more of my concerns and I like to use more hydrating skincare and base products.
Please please PLEASE do a video on Cherry makeup🍒 It like a dark feminine type makeup but with soft washes of dark red and glossy faded red lips! I’d love to see your take on it❤❤
Enjoy your break- you deserve it! I can’t wait to see your video for beginners. You explain things so thoroughly and from such a unique perspective. I’ve learned so much from you!
Hey Alex! I hope you feel good about taking time away to rest and work as needed. I totally hear what you’re saying about creativity and fulfillment. As an artist (potter), I learned that you need space and time to just really play creatively. And rest is a big part of that too. So yea, proud of you for hitting pause and will still be here when you get back to support more! ❤
Can’t wait to see what’s next! Enjoy your time - it’s so important (especially as a fellow introvert!) to have that time to reset and refocus. We’ll be here when you’re ready!
Please take care of yourself, you work so hard for your viewers, and it is greatly appreciated. Taking a break is good for mental health as well as recharging to come back with more energy and love for what you do. Your creativity and talent is mind blowing, I'll miss you, but will be here for the return. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do while away and any projects or art pieces your working on😘🤗 💖💖💖 Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
I'm glad you're doing what you need to do for yourself (taking a break), and I will totally be stalking you via your old videos. I actually love watching your early content. You were more 'playful' with your makeup at the beginning and I love seeing your creativity come out.
Proud of you for choosing to refocus and rest this month. I’ll miss the uploads, but I am so glad you’re taking care of yourself and making time for art! Excited for a longer, more detailed video. I miss old TH-cam sometimes, and I think what you wanna create sounds great. Can’t wait to watch again and see your face. Appreciate your perspective and application style in the beauty community. Take care!! :)
I'm old enough not to care about makeup trends. That said, I recently heard that the 'latest trend' is all about returning to more natural looking eyebrows and only wearing makeup that enhances your features. Uh huh. I think that's what every mature woman's goal is, to make what you have look as good as possible. That's been my goal since I started wearing makeup in my teens. Back then it was concealing pores and acne and making myself look prettier. Now it's concealing creases and pores and making myself look prettier. The main thing that's changed is my skin, and the quality of products, both makeup and skincare, has improved tremendously. (I'm from the St. Ive's peach pit scrub, Sea Breeze astringent, Oxy Pads and drying to skin to death to try to get rid of pimples.)
I love the new Kosas blushes and the One Size setting spray. It is fantastic! I’d love to see some fun 🤩 shadow looks- you’re very talented at them and great at explaining technique. One find I love- TirTir cushion foundation. I think you’d like it!
We will be here when ur ready. Not going anywhere as I've still so much to learn from you and love your company. Ur so easy to spend time with. Fix your mojo and take care my luv. Excited for the future with you ♡♡♡ Much love from central Scotland xxx
kandee johnson!!! i’d love to see you do a look inspired by a first gen youtube beauty guru makeup tutorial. i liiiived for the eyeshadow tutorials in that 2009 / 2010 era
Can’t wait to see the in depth beginner tutorials!!! Another video idea would be pink and girly eye look. I’ve been struggling to master that and I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. It just looks flat and without personality for some reason. Anyways, enjoy your break🫶
Imma be honest, I'll be a little sad during June without you because I already rewatch a lot of your videos and like a new one in the mix. That being said, take all the time you need because I love your long videos and kind of just vibe out which won't still be happening if you burn out. If you do more beginner makeup videos honestly keep them short like your other ones. I realized as I was helping a friend who was very much a beginner that having something more concise is better for explaining concepts than a longer one filled with a lot of "fluff" and opinions. That "fluff" is what makes them entertaining for someone like me who regularly watches, but if it's aimed at beginners it's probably people not only new to makeup, but your channel as well. You could do one long beginner's guide video that's cut into chapters or specific videos like your "dude" series. As for things I want to see, I love your colorful eyeshadow videos like that Beyonce recreation. I realized as I was watching other creators that I come here specifically for inspiration in those looks because crazily enough, it's much easier for me to recreate the more creative eye looks than neutrals because one is very dependent on my specific features while the other is easier to adapt to my features. So more things like the butterfly look, that one you did with the elf pallette, the Beyonce recreation I love because I've actually been able to achieve them, wear them out, and love the way I look and feel all day.
Do what you gotta for your mental health. We love you and we will support you and be here when you get back. Please take care and find your creativity again ❤
OMG, Hairspray to keep your make up in place, old 'Max Factor' trick. 😆 Oh, I just have to say Alex as of lately, I'm just loving your eyebrows, They look so Damn good girl. 😉 I started watching you during the pandemic and you came up on my sidebar doing a dark circle cover up video and your still the best on doing that.
Good for you. You are allowed to take a break. We’ll all still be here when you get back. Love ya! ❤
I’ve watched your videos for almost a year and never commented before but it just hit me that your videos really help with my anxiety. You have such a calming presence about you. I appreciate how you talk about and show products without making me feel the need to compulsively shop, instead you just inform your viewers. You’re awesome. Thank you for all the work you put into this channel and community. Enjoy your well deserved break 😁
Nikki La Rose just gave you the BEST shout out Alex in her latest vid of her May favourites. You received some incredibly well-deserved accolades, so as you take your step back from YT, please remember how much you are respected and appreciated by so many people - professional MUA’s as well as us regular gals. Take care of yourself as you need to sweetheart. You know what you need, and we’ll be here when you’re ready to come back. Big, warm hug from down here in Australia 🥰💄🇦🇺
I’m sixty - seeing young women take time to strengthen their mental health is something my generation learned very late. So proud to see your generation take charge of it! And I have learned so many new and better techniques from you! Especially that I’m a fair light warm olive haha only took decades!
It’s lovely hearing an older generation say something so nice
Thankyou
GIRL! you could not possibly lose us now. No way. Everyone needs downtime, you produce CONSTANTLY, and your content is excellent, its above & beyond. Take allllll the time off you need. We'll have so much fun when you get back!❤
Would never know that you were basically self taught. Your makeup is always beautiful and flawless! At 64 I’m finally getting more into makeup and learning so much from You Tubers like you. Enjoy your break. Everyone needs one now and again. We’ll be here when you return!❤
You do you, Alex! Don't worry about us, we'll be here when you're ready to come back! And thank you for continuing to put out solid content, even when you haven't been feeling it. You've never half-assed it, and we really do appreciate all your hard work. Looking forward to whatever's next. Good luck!
‘I wanna be invited, but I also really don’t wanna go’ - me in a sentence. I feel ya
Hey Alex, don't feel bad for taking a break.
Silence is necessary to understand the music.
Sometimes stopping and taking perspective is necessary.
Do your art Alex, whatever brings joy and enthusiasm! That's my request. This is what Id love to see from you.
Enjoy your break and the time to connect with yourself ❤
I shall miss you
The baked formulas start out as a liquid, then baked for 24 hours. Italy does a lot of baked formulas. I look forward to seeing what you've been working on during your time away. Take care of yourself, and hugs for your kitty. You've been really working hard lately so please take the time you need. I'll be here when you come back. I love you Alexandra 🩷
As an Artist myself, its really hard to carve out time to create my own art with a full time job. And rarely, even the best Artists I know are able to make a living creating the art they want to create. It's a tough world out there!
All the channels I love have reduced output to increase quality. (ie prioritising the content creators own creative fulfilment, self care and work/life balance, health needs etc, their satisfaction in the research and production quality of their work etc) I hang out for those once a fortnight or once a month videos and really enjoy them. Do what you need to do.
I personally don't think people understand how demanding being on TH-cam or social media would be. I could NEVERRRRRRRRRR. I don't have to stamina, I need down time. We will be sad not to see you for a month, but I always enjoy re-watching past favourite videos anyway :)
One suggestion I had for a video was looking at Korean style makeup. I love how your style is more about subtly, and about enhancing your individual beauty, which is (I think) what a lot of Korean makeup is all about. I love how they apply makeup very gradually but the end result is stunning. I feel like you'd be good at recreating this kind of style. Also, I don't see many Korean style makeup on non Asian faces. I dunno, just a suggestion!
I set my under eyes with O/S spray. I spray it on a concealer brush and pat it over my cream concealer. Sets great!
That One Size setting mist is an absolute must for me. I live in southern AZ where we typically start reaching 100* in May, and stay that way through September, and it's only a "dry heat" until monsoons roll in, but you start sweating from the heat in April and stay that way through November. That setting spray is the only one that really keeps my makeup in place as I walk in and out of the heat and humidity, and even through misters on restaurant patios. (I also have oily skin, which typically makes my makeup fall apart, but not after spraying it with this!)
Oh yes please more eye looks for hazel eyes 😊
I’ve Hazel eyes too. What i do is watch which of her videos make her eyes pop the most… and i recreate/adapt them to my eyes. In no particular order: Deep purple, navy eyeliner and a pop of grey/taupe, as well as more terracotta/apricot tones (usually recommended for blue eyes) seem to really work too.
I'm not a makeup wearing person as a rule, and as a middle-aged scientist (with crepey skin and bags under my eyes) I'm luckily not in a job that would require it.

Take your time to rest girl 🧡 i would love to see makeup recreations of or inspired by the makeup from penelope featherington bridgerton season 3
I started looking at your videos while trying to distract myself from the worry I was experiencing from taking care of my sick dog and now I can do concealer and eyeshadow 😂😘 so Thank you 😅
Oh and my dog is fine 🎉
Please do an updated foundation comparison! I struggle so much to find light olive foundations.
I am looking forward to your beginner videos. I’m 64 and have issues with blending out freckling patches. Your ability to get that flawless natural skin look with your makeup is amazing.

While Alex is on her break I recommend checking out Lisa Eldridge's videos. She has a number where she uses older models.

Would love to see a look with those duochrome shades in the quad palette you swatched!
THIS MAKEUP THOUGH! YES YES YES
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Tutorial please
I'd love to see some looks for glasses wearers if you're open? Particularly for those with hooded eyes who like to experiment with graphic liners and colours. If it matters, I have a deep skin tone.
Edit: Absolutely put yourself first and take the time you need. Wishing you fulfilling rest and joy!
Give us all of the colorful eye looks!! I loved and recreated the purple Emma look you just did..stunning!! And take all the time you need! Everyone needs time to do what they love ❤️
25:03 omg yes I need to see you work magic on that gorgeous colorful eyeshadow.
You’ve done so much for us; time for yourself to find your fulfillment is soooo necessary for happiness. Enjoy your time, and I hope you can stop chasing for something that may be right in front of you. 💝
Have you tried anything from Lorac? I never hear anyone talk about it and I have the pro contour palette and it’s phenomenal. The tones are perfection and versatile for fair-light even medium skin.

Take all the time you need! I wish you all the success for what avenues you travel down.
Yes please....a look with that eyeshadow quad!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your review! Hope you love your Wonderskin goodies ❤
You're right - the Nars blush has "too much" pearl - for my skin at least. It magnified all of my texture, and I don't have that much.
Looking forward to the in-depth beginner video!! Love all in-depth tutorials! They are the best. Enjoy your break. ❤
Hi Alex I tried the one size setting spray and its like spraying hair spray I didnt like it mostly all my friends hate. Looking foward to your review. Thank you for all you do keep the colorfull makeup coming. Thank you ❤
Super excited about beginner content from you! I don’t wear makeup but love your videos and would like to start. Enjoy your break :)
That Kosas blush reminds me of Laura Geller baked blushes.
Or the Milani or the Found-I think they discounted the Found but imo it was even better than the Laura Geller which is also beautiful
i agree lol
agreed about Laura Gellar... they look exactly the same. lol
Hi Alex. Know that we all stand behind you in all you do. So have at it we’ll be here. Thank you a hundredfold for the Wonderskin eyeliner. I bought the black and it does stay on my waterline all day. Never seen anything like it. Must be Wonderskin’s super power. Thanks. ❤
I'd LOVE to see an in depth video about CONTOURING + HIGHLIGHTING 🙏🙌 I've been successfully ignoring both, but - I'm getting older (38yo), my face is getting saggier and puffier at the same time (pcos), a resting b*tch face is getting installed on my once pretty features - I don't think I can ignore them any longer 😅
ENJOY YOUR BREAK!
second this!!! 🤗
Yesss! Please do the Karla palette. I love your colourful eye looks. So inspiring omg! Do one with the pigments too.
It is Pride month after all. Go full unicorn! 🦄🌈🫶🏾
I’m definitely interested in beginner videos! 😊
Rephr brush hopefully coming soon.❤
For the O/S setting spray, I have combo skin and I love it. I use it for setting and sometimes even as a layer over primer and before foundation to really have things locked down.
I don’t find it too drying but dehydration and oil building up are more of my concerns and I like to use more hydrating skincare and base products.
Please please PLEASE do a video on Cherry makeup🍒
It like a dark feminine type makeup but with soft washes of dark red and glossy faded red lips! I’d love to see your take on it❤❤
Enjoy your break- you deserve it! I can’t wait to see your video for beginners. You explain things so thoroughly and from such a unique perspective. I’ve learned so much from you!
Definitely take some time off! I appreciate all your content and regularly watch your old videos! Take good care of yourself ❤
Please enjoy your break to the fullest!
Enjoy your break! The video with the painting explains a lot. We love your makeup looks but your personality more. Take care.
we all need a lil second sometimes ❤️ enjoy your work on your upcoming project! we'll be here when you return ☺️
Hey Alex! I hope you feel good about taking time away to rest and work as needed. I totally hear what you’re saying about creativity and fulfillment. As an artist (potter), I learned that you need space and time to just really play creatively. And rest is a big part of that too. So yea, proud of you for hitting pause and will still be here when you get back to support more! ❤
Good for you, Alex! You need to take all the time you need. Don't worry about us - we will be here when you are ready to come back. 😘❤
Take all the time you need Alex. Please take care of yourself and we will be here when you come back ✌️💕
Have an amazing break and I hope your soul gets filled up with all the stuff you need!❤
So happy to hear you are taking time to recharge. You've got this!!
Can’t wait to see what’s next! Enjoy your time - it’s so important (especially as a fellow introvert!) to have that time to reset and refocus. We’ll be here when you’re ready!
Congratulations! Here’s to new adventures. Enjoy 👏👏👏👏
Please. Yes, can you please do colorful eye looks?!
You do you, boo. We'll be here when you're ready. Enjoy your much deserved work break/creativity retreat 💙
Please take care of yourself, you work so hard for your viewers, and it is greatly appreciated. Taking a break is good for mental health as well as recharging to come back with more energy and love for what you do. Your creativity and talent is mind blowing, I'll miss you, but will be here for the return. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do while away and any projects or art pieces your working on😘🤗
💖💖💖 Many blessings!!!💖💖💖
Good for you 👏🏾👏🏾Enjoy your well deserved break! 💕
I love this makeup look so much. It’s so beautiful.
Alexandra, take as much time as you need! We will all be waiting for you to come back with new tutorials, we love you!
Your skin looks absolutely flawless ❤
I'm glad you're doing what you need to do for yourself (taking a break), and I will totally be stalking you via your old videos. I actually love watching your early content. You were more 'playful' with your makeup at the beginning and I love seeing your creativity come out.
Proud of you for choosing to refocus and rest this month. I’ll miss the uploads, but I am so glad you’re taking care of yourself and making time for art! Excited for a longer, more detailed video. I miss old TH-cam sometimes, and I think what you wanna create sounds great. Can’t wait to watch again and see your face. Appreciate your perspective and application style in the beauty community. Take care!! :)
Take as much time as you need to rest, paint, and rediscover what brings you fulfillment.
I will miss you, however I’m so happy for you that you’re doing what you need to do! Happy for you❤
I'm old enough not to care about makeup trends. That said, I recently heard that the 'latest trend' is all about returning to more natural looking eyebrows and only wearing makeup that enhances your features. Uh huh. I think that's what every mature woman's goal is, to make what you have look as good as possible. That's been my goal since I started wearing makeup in my teens. Back then it was concealing pores and acne and making myself look prettier. Now it's concealing creases and pores and making myself look prettier. The main thing that's changed is my skin, and the quality of products, both makeup and skincare, has improved tremendously. (I'm from the St. Ive's peach pit scrub, Sea Breeze astringent, Oxy Pads and drying to skin to death to try to get rid of pimples.)
Could you do a video for us youngish ladies who have decided to embrace gray hair? I love my gray but feel washed out.
I definitely want to see some more colorful looks from you, and that duochrome eyeshadow is a must!
I love the new Kosas blushes and the One Size setting spray. It is fantastic! I’d love to see some fun 🤩 shadow looks- you’re very talented at them and great at explaining technique. One find I love- TirTir cushion foundation. I think you’d like it!
It’s always beneficial to take time for yourself. Everyone needs to recharge. Have a great few weeks and see a refreshed you soon!
We will be here when ur ready. Not going anywhere as I've still so much to learn from you and love your company. Ur so easy to spend time with. Fix your mojo and take care my luv. Excited for the future with you ♡♡♡ Much love from central Scotland xxx
Would love a video on contouring as I have never done it. Have a relaxing break 😌
You may not have been taught but you are a great teacher. ❤
You're great. I think you're real. Keep it up and be YOU,!
I’d enjoy seeing how ups change Zendayas makeup look. Much more interesting than copying!
Love you, looking forward to seeing you back. Will still be subscribing :) Would love a tech equipment video, going through what you have as a set up
Enjoy your focus time lady! Hope your grove is found and celebrated!! ❤
kandee johnson!!! i’d love to see you do a look inspired by a first gen youtube beauty guru makeup tutorial. i liiiived for the eyeshadow tutorials in that 2009 / 2010 era
Can’t wait to see the in depth beginner tutorials!!! Another video idea would be pink and girly eye look. I’ve been struggling to master that and I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. It just looks flat and without personality for some reason. Anyways, enjoy your break🫶
I would love to see your take on Zendaya’s second MET Gala look whenever you decide to come back! Enjoy your time off queen ❤
You do the 100% right thing! 💪
You could do updates about your art work! I'd love to see a sort of "chill and chat" live stream while you're painting!
Imma be honest, I'll be a little sad during June without you because I already rewatch a lot of your videos and like a new one in the mix. That being said, take all the time you need because I love your long videos and kind of just vibe out which won't still be happening if you burn out.
If you do more beginner makeup videos honestly keep them short like your other ones. I realized as I was helping a friend who was very much a beginner that having something more concise is better for explaining concepts than a longer one filled with a lot of "fluff" and opinions. That "fluff" is what makes them entertaining for someone like me who regularly watches, but if it's aimed at beginners it's probably people not only new to makeup, but your channel as well. You could do one long beginner's guide video that's cut into chapters or specific videos like your "dude" series.
As for things I want to see, I love your colorful eyeshadow videos like that Beyonce recreation. I realized as I was watching other creators that I come here specifically for inspiration in those looks because crazily enough, it's much easier for me to recreate the more creative eye looks than neutrals because one is very dependent on my specific features while the other is easier to adapt to my features. So more things like the butterfly look, that one you did with the elf pallette, the Beyonce recreation I love because I've actually been able to achieve them, wear them out, and love the way I look and feel all day.
Do what you gotta for your mental health. We love you and we will support you and be here when you get back. Please take care and find your creativity again ❤
OMG, Hairspray to keep your make up in place, old 'Max Factor' trick. 😆
Oh, I just have to say Alex as of lately, I'm just loving your eyebrows, They look so Damn good girl. 😉
I started watching you during the pandemic and you came up on my sidebar doing a dark circle cover up video and
your still the best on doing that.
Topic idea: matte eyeshadows
Also, hope you have a lovely holiday ❤
