I’m probably your most “senior” fan……I’m 67 and am all about your tutorials. I was a professional makeup artist for 20+ years, and your attention to detail SLAYS! Thank you for your fab content! ❤
Don't apologize for having peeling skin! It's useful for us to see products and techniques on all skin textures - dry skin peeps want to know makeup will perform for them too!
I watched her videos during the day, and during the night, i let the video playing and and i went to sleep. Her voice is really soothing, and it feels like you're listening to a really good friend❤
I'm watching you spot concealing and smiling because it's triggering some pleasant memories for me from back when both my father and grandmother were alive and had sat mesmerized by my spot concealing to 'erase' all of my acne. I clearly hear in my head my grandmother asking my dad, "Are you watching this???", and can see his amused expression as he nodded his head. Until that moment, they had no idea how much effort I put into hiding my problem skin and it actually triggered a much neede dialog between us. Thanks for the memory trigger!
This was such a sweet anecdote and I'm so happy you have that memory! 💚 People forget how much of an impact simply acknowledging something that others put a ton of effort into can have (especially doing it in a positive and supportive way). Man that was so sweet, thanks for sharing! 💚💚💚
Hi!! I don't really comment on videos but this is the earliest ive been, so to make it more memorable I wanted to comment and say that you're my favorite makeup artist and youtuber!! Your personality feels SO genuine through the videos. Can't wait to watch this one and keep supporting you 🙌💕
It is very beautiful and rural where I live but it is also a makeup desert...even at Walmart...and I am a makeup hound. So sometimes I drive two hours to go to Sephora and Ulta in-store and I shop online. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
I feel your pain!! I order online, which is expensive. (Canada: currency exchange, duty, taxes, and shipping to my *remote* area). It's also a pain in the ass, because it's hard to shade match from a screen. I usually get 2 different shades of completion products, so I can adjust accordingly.
Same, I order online, though not as much as I used to, my hoarding was getting a bit crazy lol especially when I am mostly at home and don't need make up to look "presentable"
For anyone using Tret or get peeling from actives - Try using the Allies of Skin molecular mist before applying tret, then after and for prep for makeup. It's been my saving grace and completely prevents peeling. It's the most repairing skincare I've found, even more than creams. Plus anti inflammatory. I think my husband and I have been thru like 17 bottles of it by now. Truly a can't live without item
I've had a bad case of patchy eyebrows for 30years and have tried SO MANY different techniques to fix my 90's fashion mistakes, but nothing ever looked very natural until I saw this video yesterday and tried the NYX Brow Tint Pen you used and OMG I almost cried! Thank you so much for not only sharing your knowledge but also doing it with affordable products that won't break the bank! ❤
Alex, your longer hair looks so BOMB! These drugstore products were really nice but this whole look on you is gorgeous. Your skin looks flawless and the lips were perfect for the eye and cheek colors. ❤🤗
I'd love to see more on what you do when trouble-shooting around flakey skin. I never realized that powder could be used to blur those areas. Tret has me going through the skin flakies and my makeup has just been so off lately. Skin prep tips specifically on the flakey skin would be helpful, but best techniques for applying foundation as not to disturb or make the problem worse would be great. Also, tips about areas to play up and distract the eye (like you did with your cheeks) would be awesome. ❤❤❤ I'm also loving both those shadow sticks ( there are 2 matte shades!) and the matte lumi blush! ❤
I stopped wearing foundation all over my face and just use a light cover hydrating base in the areas I need like over the red little under skin dots I get either side of my nose and my eyelids to cover because they are very prominent since I am mega pale
I’m 64 Alex and I really enjoy your channel. Would you please consider doing another episode for us cool tone ladies using drugstore makeup in cool colours? Todays demo was just excellent. Thanks so much. Cheers from Australia. 👏🏻💄🇦🇺
Alex, I would like to thank you for being a pleasure to bring into my home for years! I am a 59 year old lady, who almost never wears make-up, but thoroughly enjoys your subscription. I stay tuned for your conversational style, candid shares, personal chic and amusing anecdotes. I liked your good use in this video of positive self talk, coolly reminding your viewers we are human and make mistakes. Now if only I could learn to wear make-up lol
May we super pretty please have a glitter eye look, fun,but wearable? Im aging and having a midlife crisis and just bought some Unleashia glitters and a palette with glitter shadows. Lol, help!
As someone who has also used hairspray to set her face, I'm intrigued by this setting spray. It's so bad but sometimes you have no choice but to do your makeup hours before attending a wedding and need to resort to drastic measures!
Would you dare to make a video randomly choosing makeup from each category to see how the final result turns out? I think it would be a really fun video and would help us use products we already have.😊
This might be the weirdest thing someone has ever said to you, but I LOVE the natural color of your eyelids. It looked like you had already applied like the prettiest taupe cream shadow. You're such a beauty!
You taught me how to do halo eyes on my deep set, small, hooded eyes & I get compliments (even from men) all the time! Thank you! Love watching your content!
Hi Alex! I'd love to see you use the Milani cool toned palette. I love watching your channel. You're one of my favorite makeup TH-camrs(MUA). I think the fact you're an Artist is why I love how you do your makeup because you take your time. Also, explaining how to blend, etc. Most TH-camrs don't really know how to do makeup, which I feel they need lessons on how to blend and choose colors that complement each other. Anyway, thank you so much for taking your time to make wonderful videos. I love you, take care, hugs for your kitties🧡🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈🐴🐶🧡🦋💐
Love the longer hair. Obsessed with the pixie, too. Will we ever see a long-haired Alex? Kidding. I know that's out. Short hair suits you to perfection, just enjoying the longer trials. I too am short haired and I love seeing other's progressions with hair length.
There's something about you that I really connect with. I adore your charming authenticity and sense of humor. Also, thank you for the video where you talked about OCD, I'd love to see another GRWM where you talk about mental health stuff
Love your drugstore videos. Thanks so much for linking the products with the shades you used! Our complexions are very similar...it makes buying drugstore makeup so much easier for me. 🤩
You look beautiful as always! Thank you for "taking one for the team" for us. I appreciate you test all price ranges of makeup for us as well as all of the tips and tricks! Sometimes when I feel like I'm too powdery, I use my Avene thermal water spray (which I use before my skincare, because by the time I get upstairs my face is dry.) If I feel like I need a bit more glow and a dewy setting spray isn't going to help my dry and mature skin, I finish it with the Alba White Truffle First spray. It might break up my face products, but it's a trial! You got me hooked on that and the Clio mascaras! Thank you!😊
I love this look on you, I'm especially impressed with the eyeshadow, they are exactly the colours I gravitate towards.. love how you applied the different shades! ❤
Welcome to the UK, I'm glad you had a blast. I love Lisa Eldridge's makeup. You're so American, lol, doing the tourist thing. Catching a show was it good, by the way. I hope you didn't get too anxious. xxx
I am dealing with overdoing my acne treatment as well😢. But the Ordinary to the rescue...the Multi-peptides and HA is soooo good. And then I finished with Aquaphor.
i understand the peeling around the mouth area because of tret 😩 this is way better than the first year but still struggling with makeup around that area
I have started wearing the elf soft glam foundation for my every day looks and i have to say i am really liking it. I have mature-ish skin with some texture and i get super oily and the foundation holds up all day.
A very good moment if you are a fan of makeup, you are a beautifull artist, i love the level of precision you work with, thank you for sharing your talent with us 🙏😊
Not that I think you should go out and buy brushes just to go 100% drugstore, but some of the elf brushes are fabulous. I really like the foundation brushes for applying my cream foundation. They have a dupe for the It Cosmetics double ended complexion brush that works great for me.
I just want to compliment your video quality. It's so good. I've been watching so many TH-cam videos lately. I usually just listen (thanks ADHD). but lately I've been watching and yours looks so good in comparison to other beauty youtubers. Just wanted to throw some snaps your way ❤
Thank you for doing all this on top of sunscreen! I am having such a hard time finding foundation that plays well with sunscreen. I will be trying a brush next time!
I can't lie.. But, That blush looks so good on you. Everything is coming together to make a pretty Dewey lOOk. 🔥✨ EDIT: Oh, wOw, All those colors came together just perfectly. These colors are definitely you Alex.
I’m probably your most “senior” fan……I’m 67 and am all about your tutorials. I was a professional makeup artist for 20+ years, and your attention to detail SLAYS! Thank you for your fab content! ❤
I’m 61 & I so enjoy her videos as well!! 🩷
@@donnagill9956 us seniors still wanna get tips! 🤣
I’m 64.😊
I'm 66, will be 67 in 2 months. Love Alexandra's video's!!!

Drugstore has been really stepping it up in the last years. I'm reaching more for them than high end for fun events
It's midnight and I will be falling asleep to this. Please don't be offended, I find your videos very calming ☺️
Sweet dreams!!❤
Alex has such a soothing voice. I get it!
Absolutely!!! Alex & Hannah Louise Poston are my go to - to find a long older video & just drift off to sleep. So calming
I watched her videos during the day, and during the night, i let the video playing and and i went to sleep. Her voice is really soothing, and it feels like you're listening to a really good friend❤

I love this ❤
You are just unreasonably beautiful in every way. 🥰
🥹😭🙏🏼
Yes. I agree. Humble genuine relaxed personality and a lovely mix of sexy siren eyes with sweet little baby girl features.

😭 Thank you so much love, I appreciate you leaving a comment even you don’t usually, I very much relate to that ❤️❤️❤️
You're so sweet! Thank you for your response as well 💗
Love the look! Thank you for using drugstore makeup! I’m 61 years old on disability and I use what I can afford.
Thank you so much for your light and camera settings ❤ I really appreciate seeing real skin, thank you so soooo much

Oooooo thank you for this💜💜💜
love how your styled your hair btw, it looks so elegant 🤍
Thank you! 🙏🏼
❤A Pumpkin Spice eye look for Fall! Very appropriate, and you did it subconsciously. What a pro. 😊

"Please hold for the trash" 😅 haha, I love these longer videos ❤
HAHAHAHAH!!! When you showd the Milani shadows & it had fallout i blew on the screen 😂
Lmao SO DID I 😂
Hahahahhhh
Was nervous about beginning my journey with tretinoin, but I feel a lot more encouraged seeing you deal with it in your videos 🩷
Can you do makeup for glasses wearers? Especially eye shadow. XO
Alex, your longer hair looks so BOMB! These drugstore products were really nice but this whole look on you is gorgeous. Your skin looks flawless and the lips were perfect for the eye and cheek colors. ❤🤗
The way you keep your cool and always know how to work around a product when it doesn't work is really admirable. Plus, I love love love the look!

Sunscreen in videos?! YESSSSSSS please! Thank you!
wet and wild, nyx and elf are my favorites since they are cruelty free :D
this eye look is giving 2018 in the best way 🌟 and the inner lash liner and khol liner colours together were super satisfying
That second setting spray was soooo much better!

Practice and have fun! 🥰 we all start somewhere ✨
Love this long in depth video, great work!!
May we super pretty please have a glitter eye look, fun,but wearable?
Im aging and having a midlife crisis and just bought some Unleashia glitters and a palette with glitter shadows. Lol, help!
You look beautiful Alex, your mastery and technique never cease to amaze me!
That laughter after 'all my peeps starting tretinoin stay strong' was evil😂❤
I love that I am watching this video after I watched the video you posted talking about makeup while wearing this look. I am loving this look!
Wow!!!!!!! Has to be one of my favorite looks ever. Idk which I love more, the eyes or lips. The lips are wow. 😍
Utterly one of the most stunning make ups. The colours really suit u ❤❤❤❤❤ - so beautiful!!!!!
As someone who has also used hairspray to set her face, I'm intrigued by this setting spray. It's so bad but sometimes you have no choice but to do your makeup hours before attending a wedding and need to resort to drastic measures!
We used hairspray back in the '80s to set stage makeup. Unscented Aqua-Net for the win!
Would you dare to make a video randomly choosing makeup from each category to see how the final result turns out? I think it would be a really fun video and would help us use products we already have.😊

I usually use Lisa Eldridge's skin tint, but have found that Wet n Wild's new skin tint is an awesome drug store version
the wet 'n wild skin tint is so good!
Based on your review I need to go get though eyeshadow crayons. They looked stunning.
There's something about you that I really connect with. I adore your charming authenticity and sense of humor.
Also, thank you for the video where you talked about OCD, I'd love to see another GRWM where you talk about mental health stuff
Love your drugstore videos. Thanks so much for linking the products with the shades you used! Our complexions are very similar...it makes buying drugstore makeup so much easier for me. 🤩
I love these eye colors on you so much. I'm dying over "Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. Look at it. WHY WON'T YOU LOOK AT IT?!" 😁😁
My stoned ass was legit like "I'm trying to look at it! Why are you yelling at me 😢?" 😂😂😂
Reminds me of Ed Bassmaster 😂
Can we say "Pumkin Pie Spice" , beautiful fall look. By the way, I love your brush.
You look beautiful as always! Thank you for "taking one for the team" for us. I appreciate you test all price ranges of makeup for us as well as all of the tips and tricks!

I would love to see more drugstore looks. Especially with Milani eyeshadows
Back in the 80's we did use hair spray as a setting spray. Probably not the best choice, but it worked like a charm.
This look makes me want to break out my ND Sunset palette. Love it!
Welcome to the UK, I'm glad you had a blast. I love Lisa Eldridge's makeup.
You're so American, lol, doing the tourist thing.
Catching a show was it good, by the way.
I hope you didn't get too anxious. xxx
Love it…look beautiful on your skin..will look for the L’Oréal coverage…thanks
You narrate your videos so well and I enjoy every single one of them. Thank you 😘😘
Yes a cool tone look with the mini Milani palette. I have that one and haven't used it yet!
💖💖💖💖
I have been wanting drugstore looks from you. 😭😭😭
Your hair colour and makeup and jewellery and everything looks soooo good together
Really like your copper/bronze eyes and lip color! Looks like a high end makeup look!
I am dealing with overdoing my acne treatment as well😢. But the Ordinary to the rescue...the Multi-peptides and HA is soooo good. And then I finished with Aquaphor.
Beautiful fall look. This turned out so good. 🙌🏻🔥👏🏻
I’ve been looking for new drugstore products so thank you for your recommendations!
18:02 killed me. Im literally like a whole minute past now and still laughing replaying “hairspray for your face” in my head i love u
That hair length looks so cute ❤
Glad to know you dehydrate your skin too😊
i understand the peeling around the mouth area because of tret 😩 this is way better than the first year but still struggling with makeup around that area
It never ends 😭
Its giving 2k16 makeup and I loveee it!! 😍💁🏾♀️
That eye look is GORG!
Very pretty ❤ I'm thinking about trying that Elf the foundation.
Awesome vid.....love your drugstore ones❤ Thanks Alex. Stunning as usual😊
Such a beautifully classic Alex look ❤ Gorgeous!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have started wearing the elf soft glam foundation for my every day looks and i have to say i am really liking it. I have mature-ish skin with some texture and i get super oily and the foundation holds up all day.

Love your tutorials. I always click on you first.

Just ordered a NYX gold liquid shadow. Powerful hold, blendable and ready for fall, Christmas and New Year's.
I love the blush that you used they are so beautiful ! Great dupe for rare beauty liquid blushes
You are so beautiful that all makeup looks good on you!
You are a really funny person😊 enjoying all your videos, thank you!
This video was so nice. Gonna try some of these products!
I’d love to see a look with the other cool toned palette! This one is so nice and perfect for preparing for fall!

That Milani bronzing drops is a dupe for the Drunk Elephant D-bronzi sunshine drops.
Thank you Alex, as usual, i love eveything you do❤ are u growing a short bob haircut??? It would look soooo stunning on you!! So badass😊
I absolutely love that ELF foundation.
Thank you for doing all this on top of sunscreen! I am having such a hard time finding foundation that plays well with sunscreen. I will be trying a brush next time!
Bonjour Alexandra, un vrai maquillage d'automne🥰🥰🥰
Hi!!! When wil your rephr brush be back in stock? Ive been waiting for weeks! Thanks :)
Soon hopefully! I'll let you all know as soon as I do! ❤️
You look elegant ❤. Love that you use and demo drugstore products. Cant always do the expensive lines..
I can't lie.. But, That blush looks so good on you.
Everything is coming together to make a pretty Dewey lOOk. 🔥✨
EDIT: Oh, wOw, All those colors came together just perfectly. These colors are definitely you Alex.
Wow! Such a work of art! I have the bronze shadow stick as well, but mine never looks like this!!! LOL
I need a skincare routine because the skin is GLOWINGGG 🤩
Looooove long videos like this! And i am excited for fall too. Love looks like these. Thanks ❤
You know something is good when Alex recommend it!❤
[related to the eyeshadow look] i love the gold i think it compliments your eyes very wellll
Would love to see the cool look with the other Milani palette!
