You dont look good at all though...
@@Cortesevasive wkwkw you are forget your mirror
Yeah no I’d rather look like anybody else
I LOVE the no introduction in the video, so many TH-camrs and influencers waste so much time prefacing things instead of getting to the point! Also, I remember my mom alway complaining at me at the hair tie on my wrist when I was younger haha
Yes, I like it too when TH-camrs go straight to the point.
True but I really miss her 'my dear elegant ladys' :)
AMEN girl!! 👏👏👏
That intro is annoying especially if I’m a subscriber, literally fast forwards once that intro begins
I'm an introvert and I like how she gets to the point too!
Keep.
It.
Simple.
Sunshine!

I once attended a party where I had my natural eyebrow shape, lightly trimmed, neatly brushed, and lightly pencilled in in my natural brow color. Messing too much with my brows irritates my skin. The host and some of the women guests who were supposedly my 'friends' at my table made fun of me at length for not sporting the thick, dark, and sharp 2016 Instagram eyebrows that they did. After that party I stopped talking to them up to now. There is no reason to maintain ties with anyone who ridicules anyone, publicly and otherwise, for their appearance.
They are not your friends and I bet your brows are lovely 💛. I hate the harsh, painted Instagram look that just ages young women. Well, all women, but it's mostly young women who fall for this ridiculous look. It doesn't make anyone beautiful, it just looks awful. I have a younger colleague at work who insists on having this look and as a bit "older" (and wiser) I can only tell her my opinion. She still doesn't get it though.
Wow you definitely do not need “friends” like that! Sounds like jealousy more than anything that you can rock your natural brow while they all need to fake it 😘
I agree. It’s also ironic that your style then is the current trend now. Just goes to show it all changes. Just do what you like
Really?? Nothing better to do ?
The Instagram eyebrow actually came from drag queen makeup. .it's not elegant at all
1:59 no hate just a thought, to be honest, your foundation looks a different color than your neck
Lip fillers also cheapen the appearance majorly as does any obvious plastic surgery!
I just got a promotion at work today. I must thank people like Anna for her priceless advice. My manager told me part of the reason I was chosen out of 4 others is that I am articulate, well-spoken and well put together and that I was the best choice to face our clients. Thank you Anna Bey! People do notice effort and when you are an elegant lady, you are a cut above the rest.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Thank you anna!

A new video during a week day? What a treat Anna
Yes, for the next three weeks there will be a video every Thursday too :)
@@AnnaBeyOfficial yaay
That’s great news Anna. ✨
@@AnnaBeyOfficial omg yayyy thank you!🥳🥳
I've been slowly getting into femininity now that I'm trying to not be so introverted. Altho I'm covered in tattoos, and basically a tomboy, this stuff is pretty fun and I'm enjoying learning it and it feels good to look pretty. Slowly but surely I'm getting there lol this is good stuff here thank you 🙂
there is no "rule" to femininity. this woman just came up with ideas of her own thoughts and created a video because this is her job. you can be feminine and an introverted, tattooed, tomboy. femininity is whatever makes YOU feel best about yourself as a woman, and if it's listening to this woman, then all the power to you
you can still look feminine while being tattooed, I think of Melanie Martínez when I imagine it
Ive also got many tattoos but lately i’m trying to work on my appearance to become more professional. i am worried about my tattoos tbh because i’ve even got them on my hands palms and fingers:/
it is my opinion that tattoos can be feminine and elegant. maybe because in my culture, henna tattoos are a feminine thing.
@@Eno3.0.1 personaly i think they are even cooler with a professional attire
Keeping your natural color is the best way to avoid looking gross. I learned this the hard way. I dyed my hair for years and although my natural hair color isn’t my favorite, it’s helped me to elevate my look to embrace it.
Definitely!
YES, same here
Same
Yes ! Agree 100%
AND NATURAL hair is not damaged! Remember decades ago people permed and bleached their hair OMG!
You look more and more beautiful with each passing video! Whatever you are doing keep it up! 😘
Speaking of foundation, yours is too dark and too warm for your skin.
I believe there's nothing wrong with having strong eyebrows. Personally, my brows have always been black and quite thick naturally. However, while I do trim them, I never take away from the thickness. On the same note, I don't have the need to add any products on my brows, because I feel like they suit me just the way they are. My natural brows are possibly the best, unique, strong feature on my face, and they're going to stay.
I saw another you tuber who said dark eyebrows were a sign of youthfulness
I don't think she's talking about people who naturally have strong eyebrows, I think she was referring to girls who fill them in too much :)
I definitely agree, never over-pluck! But I also agree that the video refers only to thick brows achieved through makeup. It would be like badly done plastic surgery. You can just tell. And lastly, I think that over-plucked brows do indeed make a person look older.
@@Derek.Duquesne She's right. Thicker eyebrows give a more youthful appearance.
Yea, I think she meant dark eyebrows achieved by makeup.. like when they just look drawn on.. but naturally thick eyebrows are always beautiful!!❤
I agree with the entire video, and, I would add to the list:
Mink fluffy lash extentions. Does not look good. And spidery lashes with lots and lots of mascara.
not to mention animal cruelty
@@petrajade3262 so true!
Oh, those are so creepy! Centipedes glued to the eyes😨. I don't get this trend, like they are trying to outdo each other: who's got the fluffiest eyes.
@@TheRubyFeline In general lash extentions and false lashes look bad 😶
@@TheRubyFeline every youtuber vlogger mom on the internet haa!!
The best part of this great video is how it just starts right to the point, no small talk, loved it. Thank you as always, Anna
I grew up so afraid to be feminine bc of the area I live in and how I was raised. Thank you for helping girls like me educate ourselves!
You can be feminine without thinking you’re tacky/cheap WITHOUT being feminine.
sleepyniteowl...u are beautiful the way you are
Do you really call THIS "education" ??
@@harr13t4 relax gen z
@@Caddddik I'm not in "gen z" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For me, it’s all about the leathery, suede, musk, and amber scents. Completely sophisticated, subtly sexy, different, and mature in the best way. Plus I have never gotten so many compliments as when I wear scents like this! Tom Ford’s White Suede is ✨perfection✨ in a bottle.
Flowerbomb. The others are scents that make you smell like food.
Musk to me always smells like women over 50 who overpower others with scent and it ages them.
@@user-zk8ed4kd2b They did a study a few years back. Men were most attracted to foody scents. Particularly baked good scents.
@@user-zk8ed4kd2b Flowerbomb is so basic & even worse is basic patchouli; it doesn't smell expensive, there are many cheap dupes of it (bc it doesn't smell expensive+ it is overly sweet & syrupy. Gourmande parfums do have some "foodie" notes but combined with floral or spicy or woodsy notes it they aren't wrong, subtlety is always important & not over-spraying either 🙏💜
Tom Ford fragrances are overrated and overpriced. They last only five minutes on my skin and most of them are ratchet smelling.
Anna
I've been coloring my hair for years and also study color theory/color analysis. Not everyone looks good with ash blonde hair. In fact, if you have warm undertones, you might actually look better with the orange/copper look. Of course you should still visit the salon and get a toner every 6-8 weeks to freshen it up. It is worth it to pay for a professional color analysis - they advise you on wardrobe, makeup, and hair. I use to hate the color mustard, but then saw how stunning it looked on me when a professional showed me.
At first i was like "she cant be serious cause there are people born with warm/golden or caramel blonde hair and even red/strawberry blonde hair" so i think She must be talking about the weird yellow color someone get sometimes when they have dark hair and bleach it and the bleached color gets old.
@@florivalentina3400 that’s how I took it as well
She never said everyone should have ash blonde hair. She’s referring to the brassy color untoned blonde hair turns to over time.
Personally I like the ombre and streaked or frosted hair ..think she's referring to that 80s Madonna look or badly colored hair irrespective of tone or color.
Strawberry blonde hair is the cutest & very elegant
Perfume is something very personal. The same perfume doesn't smell identically on each person. It depends on each skin pH. Difference between EDT, EDP and Perfume could be tricky even on the same skin.
I love cheap body sprays that smell like candy. It may be "tacky" but I love the smell
Better to be "tacky" (whatever that means and who gets to judge that) thank to wear something only to appear classy
Anna is going to tell it like it is, and her advice is rock solid. I've not set a foot wrong when implementing her recommendations. Thank you Anna, you are the consultant I didn't know I needed. Cheers from Canada!
Anna, I landed my dream internship at a very successful automotive supplier!!! Thank you for all the leveling up advice 🥰 could you do a video of elegant but not boring professional attire?
Congratulations 👏🏻💐
Congratulations! That is excellent news. 👏🏻🥰 I too just landed a teaching job at highly prestigious private school and am looking for elegant teacher outfits without being boring or ‘old’ looking. Help Anna 👏🏻💕x x x
@@lolitazavala1879 thanks gf 😊
@@angelikabailey wow that is so amazing!! Congratulations 😊🥳 and thank for so much!! You’ll do great!!
@@angelikabailey Congrats to both of you ladies!😊 You wouldn't even think how important it is as a teacher to keep a polished look during work, I still remember my first grade teacher from primary school, she always dressed elegantly, clean clothes, her hair was never messy, her makeup always looked good. Back then I never thought how important it can be, nor did I know how much effort she must've put into looking polished every day but even as an adult, I often remember her and have good memories😊
I found a hair stylist 4 years ago that understands how to best add highlights to an older woman's hair. Rather than trying to totally hide the incoming gray hair, she uses highlights in a way that blends it all so well. Plus, she is in a small town situated between larger towns and her prices are more affordable. She is a treasure!
I have a gem of a hairdresser as well
Why hide the gray? It’s not necessary. You might like how it looks. Growing old and getting gray is a part of life.
Hi Anna, I've watched several videos from you. I found you while browsing for perfumes, but got hooked on your content, even though my lifestyle is very different from yours or what you want to convey, but there's one thing in common: we all want to be a better version of ourselves :) And I find your content very interesting, though.
There's a lot I could say, but I'd like to emphasize, that you're an astonishing communicator. So eloquent, fluent, captivating, and straight to the point with the right amount of entertainment. Thank you!!
It was exact same thing with me! I’ve watched a video about perfumes and just can’t get enough of Anna’s content right now. Thank you very much for your so pleasant and interesting work 😍
Hey Anna love the video thanks as always. Just wanted to add that Olive is also an undertone that is much overlooked. For years I never fit into the traditional warm, cool or neutral range and was so confused why. But learning about my olive undertones was a gamechanger 😊
Yes! My sister has an olive undertone and she had to search far and wide to find a matching foundation. I think she ended up finding it with Dior Backstage Face and Body foundation.
@@danil.6667 i started adding a blue or green foundation mixer into my existing foundations and they finally matched me perfectly!
@@lillili77 Thank you for the info - I'll pass it on to my sister! :)
Isn't olive a shade of green. She said green veins is a warm undertone
@@janedamato I think the concept of green veins as an indicator of a warm undertone refers to the fact that, theoretically, the alleged warm skin makes the veins appear green. Not that the skin undertone itself is green. For example, if veins on their own are blue, casting something yellow (warm undertone) over it will turn it green.
OMG, I’m obsessed with perfumes!! Can’t wait to watch you talk about this topic 🥺❤️

I really like how you started the tips from the first second! So many ramble on at the beginning… this was so refreshing☺️
I loved number 5. It reinforces the old saying “Beauty Is As Beauty Does!”
Who else loves Anna? ❤️ She’s like an older sister that teaches you elegant lifestyle
I'm the same age as her but I do get that feeling haha
I love her. She is a true feminist.
She is amazing 💖
Anna is the only one I follow! When I'm out shopping, I find myself saying, "What would Anna think about this?" 🤗
She is amazing, lovely and beautiful. Her videos are my favorites.
Another subtle tip is not shoving bulky items it your pocket, or over stuffing your purse!
The fact that she used Trisha as an example has me DEAD💀💀💀
wow .It must really be exhausting to look costly or elegant to others . Being mindful of even to the degree of how you breathe . Knowing is one thing , and following the right things another . But being natural and staying according to your preferences are something .
It feels exhausting at first because discipline isn't a part of your normal behavior, once you train yourself it becomes natural and you do it without even realizing. The key is persistence and it pays off dividends.
Everything is exhausting if you’re not used to it 😉 If you are naturally elegant, you won’t even notice all the steps, cause you just do it naturally, as usual.
Lol... wow. I have no interest in judging or being judged by anyone according to these rules. This all is so superficial and gross. Stepford wife vibes mixed with 40ish women trying to live 'Legally Blonde." You all must be living blessed lives if these are your day to day concerns... there's so much beyond judging a person by a wrist hairband or wrong foundation... 🤦🏼♀️
Tbh when i saw her the first time i thought she was a high class escort
It’s really not you either have it don’t. She’s just pointing out simple stuff here.
For the "smell topic", it really depends on your culture, in some country like Japan, a good smell is no smell. When you are perfumed, it is considered as, sorfy tu put it like that, "stinking". As someone with a really good sense of smell, i really relate to it. Someone overly perfumed can be as uncomfortable for me as someone smelling sweat. So...stay light in this area. A good amount is when ppl have to be close to you, (a few inches) to smell your perfume in my opinion.
yes a train or restaurant full of (perfume)chemicals is irritating on the sinuses and kinda rude. Half a spritz is ENOUGH!
And some of us get raging migraines when an already strong perfume is heavily used. Just my opinion, but if I can still smell a perfume 30 minutes after the wearer has left the room, it’s far too much. (And for me, it means the next several days of my life can be derailed by a migraine.)
@@d.b.1774 I sing in a choir. 'Nuff said.
@@considerthelilies91 I do too. No perfume, hairspray, over-scented toiletries.
I agree completely! I'm personally sensitive to strong perfumes on myself and others. I've opted to use the roller ball versions because they're much lighter (and also less pricey). I apply them behind my ears and on my wrists and it's just enough for me. Lately I've been embracing Jasmine themed scents and have received the occasional compliment!
I change my perfume according to season (and mood). Instead of getting a perfume bottle, I get the travel sizes only so I can keep it in my purse. And remember to always spray or roll on enough. It’s a little tacky and annoying when theres too much. I use perfume to spritz on my clothes and then perfume oil for my skin:
My favorites:
Gucci Bloom - spring
Chloe- spring
Gucci memoire- winter
Dolce and gabana the one- fall & winter
The 7 virtues lotus pear- spring and summer
L’eau D’issey issey miyaki- spring and summer
Nest cocoa woods- fall and winter
All year:
Heretic- dirty vanilla
Chloe is really nice 😉
I have aways wanted to try Creed fragrances. They are pricey and I don't have the kind of budget to purchase their perfumes. With your knowledge of fragrance have you ever tried them? I'm especially curious about the Aventus. fragrance.
@@guerralg63 I just yesterday tried Creed new spring/summer scent Wild Flowers. It's lovely! But, honestly, it had poor longevity. If you are looking at high-end perfume, Delina Intense is much better, with string silage and insane longevity!
@@alexb7596 thank you! That's great to know. If you're going to invest in a good fragrance you certainly want it to last.
@@alexb7596 , I just looked it up, and it has wonderful reviews! I'm definitely going to check it out. Oh, and the bottle was cute too!
Love how honest you are!
I love that there’s no intro thank you for getting straight to the point!
I loove elegant, classy perfumes. My favorites are: Blackberry and Bay by Jo Malone, Hermes Twilly Eau Poivree, Chanel Chance and Gabrielle, Vol de nuit by Guerlain, Paris by Balenciaga
I don't think she has bad intentions and I think that her advice can prove helpful in certain situations (looking for a job etc), but life is too short to always strike for perfection. Being yourself with all your flaws makes you unique and more attractive to me. It's sad to see little girls buying the same face and feeling less than enough.
EXACTO!!!!!
It's not about perfection it's about maintaining your appearance. If you don't have it you don't.
Well said! I always like to act well mannered and i try to be kind to others. This is what matters to me most. My tattoos, piercings and slashed jeans, and loud make up, make me feel good about myself. However, if a lady feels happier dressing very conservative, then so be it. I think, different looks suit different people. Just go with what makes you happy. All the best to ya, from The UK. xxxxx
Exactly, and some things are just practical like a hair tie around your wrist or a claw clip on your bag strap. I love seeing other women who do the same cause it shows we have the same struggles 😂.
@@twinkle3026 I agree and was wondering if there were any “individuals” watching these videos. 😂 I wear whatever I want, whenever I want and celebrate that I live in a place that gives me the freedom to do so. My go to happens to be casual timeless with 90ies influence… yes, I’m a 42 year old that wears old concert and band tees 😊.
I watch Anna’s videos off and on and was convinced it was satire at first. There is a disconnect because she comes across judgemental and prejudiced which opposes a truly elegant, timeless, graceful person. Grace is kindness/compassion. Appearance is just an outlet for individuality, expression of self and creativity ❤
Yes please make a video about expensive and classy scents!! Waiting for it.
I have natural golden blonde hair lol and it’s pretty yellow toned. Perfume in a professional setting is typically discouraged. I think foundation that doesn’t match your neck and too much filler is much worse 😛
When i read this,i noticed it too..😃😃
There are bracelets that act as a hair tie holder that look cute. I used to work in a field where I absolutely NEEDED to have at least 1 hair tie available. The bracelet allowed me to keep that function while also looking more elevated.
I think it’s very elegant to match your fragrance to the season. Light, bright, and fresh scents when it’s warm and warmer, deeper, richer scents when it’s cold. Everyone’s body chemistry is different so you need to wear what works best for you, but I generally stay away from fragrances that are too sweet (sickly sweet, almost like candy).
And i prefer gourmand fragrances always. They mix perfectly with my body chemistry. In the summer, i wear tropical and beach scents. I just can’t with floral scents alone, they make me sick.
Alien goddess is a nice one for the summer and spring and it is not too sweet. And everyone love the way i smell, i had people run after me to ask me what fragrance i was wearing. It is about your taste and body, wear what suits you the best!
I love your shorter hair style, Anna. It looks so fresh and pretty for Spring,
Ladies reading this, just don't fret about committing a fashion faux pas.... Life is too short so do what gives you happiness.. The only two items you need to have on your mental checklist before you leave your house should be your car keys and common sense 🙂
You are beautiful and carry yourself the way you want without getting overly conscious about committing a fashion blunder...honestly, just work on your personality which is sooo much more that just wearing make-up the right way and wearing "expensive looking clothes" Don't get me wrong, being well groomed is extremely important..i do ensure i look presentable but please that's just one aspect of my personality.. We often get too caught up with this aspect and ignore other aspects...so don't forget that there's soooo more to you than your outer self. .
Lovely hairstyle, Anna!
As for perfume, Rive Gauche by Yves St. Laurent. It smells delectable, but subtly so, and is very different from the super sweet fragrances that are popular now. I have gotten so many compliments over the years when wearing RG.
If you’re on a budget, Jimmy Choo L’eau for summer and Jimmy Choo Fever for winter. I get many compliments from men and women. Whilst they’re not my favourite, they’re inoffensive and tasteful, yet the lasting power is very good (to me personally anyway, and I’m so picky with scents!). You don’t need to break the bank to look/smell great. Also, if I had to only have one perfume for all occasions, Gucci Premier EDP.
Favourites of all time:
- Chanel Coco Noir, BEFORE the reformulation
- Parfums De Marly Delina (no other PDM’s agree with me)
- Christian Louboutin Loubirouge
- MFK BR540
- Jo Malone Amber and Ginger Lily
- Tiffany Rose Gold for summer
- JPG La Belle Intense for winter/night. Took some getting used to, it smelt almost dirty initially but now am in love with it… as is every man who walks past me.
And now the BODY CREAM! The Fenty Butta is awesome. It is so good for sensitive skin, but so silky and gorgeous. It’s one of those products that doesn’t let you down because it is exactly as the website describes. There is a very slight tropical scent, which to me personally mixes just fine with all perfumes because it’s so subtle. I personally don’t like perfumed lotion because I feel it is not made to nourish skin, just to make perfume last longer. Fenty Butta makes you G L O W! And no I am not sponsored 😂 just a nobody who loves sharing my favourite products with others!
They all do look a bit expensive from their names but I hope Anna does a video on perfumes as well because I'm definitely looking for something to switch it up a bit from Chanel Gabrielle. I have taken your list and I'll go and explore
They are pricy, but the two jimmy Choo ones I mentioned can be picked up at some chemists for maybe $30USD each :) i am fortunate I have a friend who works at a department store and I can get half price off expensive perfume, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford them. But you don’t have to spend a lot for nice perfumes! Most expensive perfume I tested without buying was $600 AUD and it was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tried 😂 JPG la Belle intense isn’t cheap but I’d say for winter/night for a big bottle it’s quite reasonable
@@aidahopkins4743 would you happen to be in Australia and would it happen to be winter coming up there? LOL. I'll definitely start with the Jimmy Choo L'eau and then try some of the other ones. Thanks again for all the great tips.
L
No problem! Yes, it is winter in Aus here :) I am yet to find my perfect summer fragrance, but again, L’eau is something everyone comments on when I wear. Good luck!
I always find that “unisex” smelling perfumes are very flattering at least on myself that I’ve noticed. I think it may be the overtly fruity and floral scents seem very preteen, body spray, smelling. Very subtle but cologne-like perfumes are my favorite. For instance Burberry for her is one of the first perfumes I purchased when I started putting effort into my clothes and appearance and I still wear it regularly.
same here! I prefer "masculine" perfumes, the stay longer on me and also the smell more "luxurious" haha
My husband and I both like the unisex Afternoon Swim by Louis Vuitton. It's perfect since we only had to get one & we can share.
@@melissakbauer I love that, that’s awesome
I use Tom Ford, they are unisex.
@@heyyall9378 That is a great tip actually, I can't even tell you how many times I've purchased a perfume because I liked it in the store but I only realized how the scent changed or the longevity was very poor. I've already found my signature scent but if I wanted a new perfume, I'd definitely get a small sample first.
thank you so much for all the tips! I'm thrilled to have the classy checklist!
Wow. You actually gave advice. I've seen so many time wasting videos, this reminded of some things I already knew but pointed out some things I genuinely hadn't thought about!!
It's so delightful having an Anna video on a Thursday ☺. What a great way to cheer up a boring work day!
Anna, your fresh hair! The way it bevels in toward your features is so beautiful. Your bone structure just really pops and sparkles with this. I did not know I could like any hairstyle even more on you than before, here we are 👏🏻 “Transformation never stops” 💙
Agree, this style somehow looks fresh & modern. It suits you well.
I have a tip for eyebrows, I get mine done every month and I get them dyed too (mine are super light and now they are a tad lighter than my normal "head" hair), this literally means my eyebrows always look good. Sometimes I use a bit of gel to shape the hairs, but it saves so much time and it looks natural.
i like VERSACE BRIGHT CRYSTAL. its expensive but really makes me feel good when i just can wear it if only for myself.
Anna I love how straightforward this video is
I’m a southeast Asian and I was born with dark hair. In my early 20s I loved exploring different colours for my hair, nothing crazy like neon pink or green, but mainly like dark brown and light brown even blonde. The problem I have realised over the years is that the contrast between my root colour and the rest of my coloured hair colour really don’t look put together. And since I didn’t use colour protected shampoo and conditioner, after a while, the hair colour turned brassy, and that brassy paired with my black root hair. Ahh.🤦♀️. Apart from that , I have found that the lighter the hair colour I chose, the more it made my face feature “fades away”. It just made me look like a different person in my opinion. So after I turned 25, I stopped dyeing my hair , I slowly accepted my natural hair colour. It’s been 6 years and my hair has never been so healthy and silky and I don’t have to worry about dyeing my hair every 3 months or so. And let me tell you ladies, the quality of your hair does significant impact on your appearance and make you look a lot more elegant and youthful.
About fragrance, I have always love j’dore Dior. It is the one of the most sophisticated, timeless classic fragrances I have ever smelled. And it lasts so long on the skin and clothes too. A little goes a long way . I have got so many compliments from friends family and even strangers on the street whenever I wear it.
For me Chanel is the brand that has the most classy perfumes, each of them smells elegant (my favorite is coco noir but just for winter). For spring/summer my top classy perfumes are Jasmins Marzipan from Lancome and Aventus for Her from Creed. I also love as a brand Armani Privé and Tom Ford
Chanel coco intense is my favorite evening perfume and miss Dior is my favorite day time perfume. Those are my favorite go-to perfumes, but I have many I consider to be seasonal. I agree with the chipped nails, just take the polish off! Getting regular hair trims and oral hygiene is so important! I always make sure to have a professional at Sephora match my foundation. I think one of the worst things a woman can do is have the wrong shade of foundation. It can age really age you!
Anna, You’re absolutely doing a great job, I am loving this content. We need more of these!
I love her you went straight the the facts, this video needed no introduction. Thank you for the great reminders that we needed to hear as elegant ladies.
Very excited for the video on perfumes 💖
This was spot on Anna! The perfume part; I like to buy organic perfumes with essential oils. Sometimes they can smell musky but I go for ones that have a light flowery smell, especially if it has honeysuckle or ylang ylang is the best natural organic yet young smelling, if you get the gist! :)
Can't wait for the perfume video! I like florals, and men have gone absolutely insane for Tocca Florence specifically. I also wear La Vie Est Belle, it's a reliable basic perfume. I recently bought a Pinrose play set (kind of out of trend, but whatever) and there are scents I really enjoy the smell of in it, but I'm not sure if they're really what I want to smell like. Some of them initially smell a bit like alcohol, which I think is what makes a perfume smell "cheap".
My go-to is Tocca Bianca. I've worn it for years now.
I love Tocca perfumes too and Stella is my absolute favorite. ❤
Tocca Cleopatra! A must.
Tocca Florence is a spring / summer BANGERRR. I love it and have worn it since 2018 as a rollerball and it's almost done.
La Vie est Belle is absolutely beautiful, feminine and it's long lasting. I LOVE it and I get compliments every time I wear it.
Your hair looks fabulous like that. So much more elegant than the extensions. A mark of confidence.
I love and adore Chanel #5. My grandmother wore it and so do I. It is wonderful on me…
I love no introduction videos but I need to hear your "Hello my elegant ladies". I JUST LOVED IT. I need it for my sanity.
I have found that not wearing any nailpolish at all, with shorter nails, is the easiest way to look classy with less. I also used to do that thick brow, but now I do a very light brow which is 1 stripe then using a little brush to spread it. Less is more! And not wearing lipstick from the tube, but using a bit on your finger to put on your mouth is a lot more natural as well. Oh and I completely stopped painting my hair! I'm not grey, I don't need it! Now my hair is full and healthy on it's own instead of the tired,dry, and fake paint upkeep!
I do something similar. I keep my nails short and use a nude polish. I find it very easy to just touch up on my own and if for whatever reason it chips when I'm out it's not very noticeable.
At least try using a clear coat
I'm a big fan of buffing my nails, because I cannot stand the feel of nail polish. I get one of those multi-surface buffing blocks at the drugstore, and work through the levels, ending up with nails that look like they've been professionally polished. Keep it maintained, and you're golden.
Nails without a nail polish are ick for me!! It grosses me out, maybe toe nails even more! Even clear polish is better than no polish at all!! I like nude colours, dark reds, firey reds, black and in the summer time orange and hot pink (hot pink not for the office).
I just can’t with bare nails.
Thank you for the reminder Anna. I see so many dressed up folks where I live and work, but their brains are in the clouds and they leave trash in the store I work at and abandon their shopping carts in random places. YOUR BEHAVIOR IS PART OF YOUR STYLE.
she just gets everything on point, we need more people like this!!
interesting! can't wait for your perfumes video!
You look so great and fresh with a shorter hair!!! I really like your new look 🧡
Anna's hair looks so good here!! This style/length really suits her well. Oh and about the teeth, actually I'm fully invested in my self improvement journey and I put on braces last year... regular metal ones. At the same time that I feel it looks so stupid, I know it was the right choice, cuz it already looks so much better. Just a few more months to go until my dream smile, I'm very looking forward to getting this thing out hahahah 😆
Her roots are bronzy, still love her
I got metal braces when I was 26. I kind of liked them, they were shiny and youthful! Once in a ladies room in a restaurant, a woman asked why I would get braces at my age, at this late age, something like that. Well, another 25 years have passed...and I'm SO glad I did.
@@kaybee1286 Having your bitte corrected is not just a cosmetic issue. It can affect your overall health, especially digestion but also jaw problems that cause headaches. It is a HEALTH issue that needs doing.
I can't wait to have the money for braces and I'm 38
@@tinalettieri I know what braces are and what they do. My comment was due to HER comment about HER braces. I wasn't looking for a lecture. Thanks
I’m obsessed that she went straight into the video ❤
I could not agree more for the teeth. I had crooked teeth and boy my confidence was in the gutter. I went to Mexico and got a full dental bridge for a fraction of the cost even if I have insurance here in the USA. It made a massive difference in my life, what a great investment!
Can you recommend your dentist?
@@gloriaclark-nf3zeLet me know if they reply to you
Some people who self harm keep a rubber band around their wrist so they can snap it against their skin whenever they feel upset, sad, empty and etc. It's a substitute for more dangerous forms of self harm like cutting or burning.
Yes ofc :) doesn't mean it looks classy
Anna I do have to thank you. After finding you in the beginning of this year I got inspired to pursue an old dream of mine (work-related) that I wanted for many years but always got discouraged because everyone around me told me that I was crazy to wanted because is something really hard to start and ist people that try it, fail. I always wanted to be my own boss, even though I'm not there yet, I have started the path to do it!
Thanks for the superb checklist
I loved watching this video! Thank you for all the insights because I could learn a lot!
For perfume, I feel that natural scents, such as vanilla, coconut, lavender, rose etc, are best, but most importantly making sure it isn't too strong and overwhelming.
I know one performe that is sophisticated, classy, men-esmerizing, expensive and timeless but I'm not going to share is sorry ladies 😌
@@Naallaa there’s lots of perfumes like that lol no need to worry abt others not knowing yours
I agree notes that include vanilla coconut coffee and even chocolate are rich and the lavandar , citrus or even honeysuckle can be beautiful and not too sweet
Vanilla is lovely.
I prefer body spray. It's more affordable, it's not overpowering and many of the scents are more natural.
Yes to the hair elastic around the wrist! That is a big pet peeve of mine. I’m so glad I am not the only one who notices this.
Thank you for getting to the point!
I use SI from Armani amd i love that it stays!!!! I swear there's not one night I go out with it that I don't get a compliment.
For me, "Si" ...is a headache for sure.
What is this? A foundation?
I use Si Passione! And its honestly one of my favorites!
Perfume reacts with our personal body chemistry. You have to use the right one.
Omg I can’t wait for the perfume video
Lancôme Tresor in Love is my favourite perfume! I also enjoy wearing anything by Dior or Hermes. Expensive doesn't need to mean 'expensive' though. I also have some cheaper perfumes by the likes of Avon that I wear at work that smell high end (Little Black Dress is one), not sweet and smells classy. It's all about what works for you and mixes well with your own natural scent.
Great video!! Love your fresh and natural look and the the red lipstick .
Omg the eyebrow thing drives me crazy too!!! Love your videos!
I love how you got straight into the video and I agree with ALL of what you said!! Thank you for this video, keeping us all in check 💜
Favorite classy parfumes that always gets me compliments
Flowerbomb (the classic) - victor and rolf
Gucci flora - gardenia flowers (daytime parfume )
Giorgio Armani - si
Chanel - chance (work parfume / meetings )
Ysl - black opium (night perfume/ or date)
I'm surprised. Flower bomb is my favorite too
@@ak-wb5ft I got a sample of it and I’m tempted to buy it soon. Does the scent last a long time ?
@@brachiosaurus6350 it's heavenly. But unfortunately we don't get them here in India. I picked it up the last time i went to dubai
@@brachiosaurus6350 yes its stays longer if you see on the label “ Au de parfum “ its more concentrated parfume
.If you buy “ Au de toilet “ (little cheaper) that one doesn’t stay for long thats more thinner substance of parfume
Armani Si makes me feel like such a grown up :)
I love that you said things that also pertain to you!
Thank you for your videos. Just was i was searching for !
Hi, Anna- I'm one of your newer viewers. I started watching out of curiosity (how elegant can a grizzled old military veteran be, anyway), and kept watching because you're quite interesting. It didn't hurt that somehow I already do a lot of the things that you teach. Instead of being alienated, I was intrigued. Thank you for asking about scent. My favorites are Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Excelsa and Floral Drops, and Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. The latter has an intriguing grapefruit note that synergises beautifully with the other elements. I wear fragrance sparingly- more for me than anyone around me. I put a bit on my right wrist, and touch it under my chin. For me, the fragrance is a tool to help calm and center me, a way to bring me to 'now'.
Grizzled vet here. I love looking classy. Most purple can't believe I'm an old grunt-old army medic. I get a lot of compliments on Chloé. In my opinion it smells great. One pump on my hair and that's all I need. Anyone that smells it has to be very close to me.
Sound advice. This eyebrow style is happening all over the country and I know for sure when these ladies look back in a couple of years at photos and videos of themselves they will be horrified lol. ❤️🇬🇧
Years ago, I was in a clothing store at the mall, and I remember this large picture of a model. She had long golden-yellow hair and she was standing in the sunlight. To this day, I still remember how bright and beautiful her hair was in the sun.
Wtf is "cheapen"
I wish there was a channel like this for men. Men are hotter when they're elegant
So excited!!!!! Can’t wait ❤️❤️❤️
Well, this is some very accurate advice. My grandmother thaught me those things from when I was little, and it's proven to work ☺️
I love these videos, keep them up
Good afternoon Anna! Your hair style looks great…modern and chic! Thank you for the tips in today’s video! 💕
The checklist is everything. Thank you so much Anna 🙏♥️
Dior - Joy
Dior - dolce vita
Chanel - Tendre
Ralph Lauren - Romance
Gucci - Guilty
These are my top 5 fragrances and I always get amazing compliments on how beautiful they are.
I agree about the celebrity perfumes. I don’t buy them anymore
Add gucci flora and its a perfect list 🤗
Thank you for keeping your videos short and to the point! So helpful 💝
