Sometimes it's more obvious from the outside 😄 I watched videos with my friends and we helped each other a lot. You can try it too. But choose friends wisely 😄
So what I learned after watching a lot of her videos: - My eyes are medium/dark brown with a light brown ring outside and a dark contour. -My hair is medium ash blond, but shines golden in the sun -My skin is quite light and rosy, so cool. (Or neutral?) - My contrast level is -1 to 0, because only my eyes and Hair pops out. What do I do with this information? Also, I am half warm half cool. But somehow not neutral either.

Very true! If ashy hair is paired with super warm bronze skin it ends up making the hair look grey and the skin look orange. It creates the Oompa Loompa grandma look.
Cool ash on warm skin looks hideous Not complementary at all. That’s why Beyoncé looks fabulous with warm, honey, caramel hair and not ash blonde. And many darker native Latina women look pale and sick with ash blondes. Ash blonde can look bad on light skin women too with neutral skin and dark eyebrows and eyes if no root is left
That's my experience. I have a slightly warm skintone and once I used an ash brown color on my hair - it deadened my skintone. I need warmth in my hair color or my skin looks gray. I've seen this happen sometimes when women's natural hair color loses its intensity with age; their skintone looks grayer.
Oh I had this same experience. My hair was ash blonde and I went in to get a more caramel-colored dye just to warm it up a little, not make it any darker. The workers kept saying "but people kill for that color, why would you want to change it?" I looked in the mirror, I literally looked bright yellow and green. I have no clue how they thought that looked good. The caramel color looked perfect though, made my skin look like I was glowing. Color theory is important, guys!
I think a HUGE colour mistake I see on the daily is girls/women who use a very muddy or dark brown contour under their cheekbones which looks like bicycle tracks on their face. Looks TERRIBLE up close or in daylight. I use a slightly darker (2 shades) olive powder foundation as heavy contouring looks a bit shit on me tbh even though I have strong cheekbones. It looks very subtle and almost undetectable. Horrendous painted eyebrows are still a big thing with all age groups. Very scary!!! 😱😱😱😭😭😭😟😟😟
This. They also use like a dark mauve or maroon lipstick that is matte. Nothing else, only matte. Then it's that super dark muddy contour topped off with a heavy stark white highlighter and they ALWAYS have the ashy balayage hair. I swear to god it's like a specific "look" because i see this combination so frequently, but it is just not a good one. Plus crayon eyebrows in ashy colour with a warm or olive heavy foundation. It is a THING.
I've noticed that one of the most common mistakes IMHO, is wearing brighter, whiter shade of white than your teeth and your eye whites - next to your face. Any shade of white which competes with your teeth and eye-white color makes them look darker and even more 'less white'/more yellow. I may be excessively picky, but I also find that eye-white and teeth white shouldn't be much different. If you had your teeth bleached or dental work done and you choose much brighter white shade comparing to your eye-whites, your eyes may look tired and blurry. The most common mistake, IMO is well known trick how to make your eyes look more awake and less tired/red, by putting white or light nude/beige/purplish eyeliner in lower water line. Once your water line is lighter than your eye-white, your eyes will look even more blurry and tired. Even the darkest eye white looks more clear and bright next to darker liner than to light one. Never compete with your natural coloring when it comes to white shades that you wear on your face or next to your face. Also, be careful with white and red shades next to your face if your skin is not clear, especially if it has uncovered redness/blemishes. Highlights also can be tricky if the skin is not clear. Best regards to all! :)
I agree with you, I am a deeper winter and I do have a hard time when people say that we should choose optical whites. Shouldn't we choose very light off-whites so our natural whites glow?
I think it would be nice if used more Photoshop to change the colours of eyes/ hair/ make up when you are discussing these topics. Make the yellow year, toned, switch the blue eyes to black, etc. It was very helpful when you were discussing clarity/saturation of skin tones and were showing the difference between black, white, and grey on a fully saturated colour.
Love your videos! Can you do one where you talk about different poses that would go well with each of the body types? I remember in your Marilyn Monroe video you talked about how recreating cutesy Marilyn poses looks a bit awkward with body types that differ from hers. So that got me wondering about what poses /would/ look good for each of the body types.

@@suzannecharite you forgot to explain that besides the title, and species name, Barbapapa is the actual name of the pink one too. Because he's the papa; the dad; the father.
I really appreciate that someone finally tells how to look the best the with the way you were born instead of striving to fit into some standard and often ending up looking tasteless. I wish there were more channels like this
#4 is my skin tone issue. I learned through trial & error that “dull” colors are indeed beautiful, because not everyone is meant to wear brights. BTW, love your ice queen look here, Aly!
Aly didn't mention this but another time color goes wrong is with the use of self tanner in the summer, which can be too warm for naturally light or cool toned skin. Ashy blond looks weird with self tanner.
@@ssh1487 if you know of a more cool toned tanner, please point me in that direction. I'm a pale natural blond and every tanner I've ever seen uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which looks orange on people who don't have enough melanin to counterbalance the orangey color.
@@audreyyoung4556 It's mostly a mistake on the level of bleach the canvas has before applying the color. Some people don't bleach their hair enough before applying a color, it's more common in blue since any yellow tone the hair might still have will be more noticeable when the layers of blue get washed away and the color on top (semi permanent dye doesn't penetrate the hair) is lets the color of the hair itself be seen. It also can happen with ashy hair dye, since that one has a blue tone.
Well, the 1st mistake is not getting the right level of bleach to lift all color out the hair. The 2nd mistake is that despite getting the shade lifted, they didn't eliminate any yellow tones or brassiness. It needs to be an ash blonde, a white, or silver base. The other factor is that most blue dyes are always going to fade green, bc they have green undertones. A true blue dye won't fade to green. However, often it does help to add 1/4 plum or violet dye to neutralize any yellow in the dye. Another issue is hair that's overprocessed and porous tends to absorb toners, which makes them difficult to wash out. And that can be a problem if there's still some yellow in the dye that the bleach didn't lift or that the dye-mix didn't neutralize, bc then that yellow tint in the hair will combine with the toner's blue/purple residue, which leads to green hair. What needs to happen is first the overprocessed/porous hair needs to be treated ahead of time (at least a few times before) with a deep condition. A week later when getting the hair bleached, it's best to mix in a bonding agent like Olaplex or Bondi Boost to prevent breakage. Instead of a toning shampoo, it's preferable to rinse the bleach using a clarifying shampoo -- or if possible, to mix a little bit of powdered bleach into shampoo, and then wash out the hair. This step is mainly focused on helping to remove overtones. The use of toner (after coloring) will focus on eliminating any remaining undertones. Also for hair that's too porous, one should condition the hair after washing out the bleach in order to further close the hair cuticles and reduce the porosity. This is just to prevent uneven coloring or any absorption of color build-up from toner. This way the toner's colors (whether blue or purple) don't latch unto the hair to the point that they mix with any remaining yellow. I know it sounds counterintuitive since toner is supposed to neutralize the yellows, but if the yellow undertones are too overpowering, then it's best to prevent any residue build-up in the first place. Just make sure to wash toner out completely or skip using it altogether. At this point, the blue dye should be applied and washed with a toner (if necessary) or cleansing cream. A hair mask applied after can help to keep the hair healthy and completely close the cuticle so that the dye won't fade as fast. As long as these steps are done, using toning shampoos to maintain the color shouldn't be a problem. The only exception is if the shower is built with copper pipes, which can leave deposits that make the hair brassy and green. Also avoid chlorine and salt-water beaches/lakes. As stated prior, to prevent the blue from fading during maintenance, it's best to wash with a purple shampoo or toner -- but also it helps to use a color-protecting conditioner. A bit of blue dye can be added into the conditioner, but of course that can only do so much. As with most color deposits, color touch-ups are necessary to maintain the color's vibrancy. ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️⬇️ ✂️ ⬇️ ✂️⬇️ ✂️ Refresher: If hair is healthy, then proceed to lift to level 9 or 10 for best blue coloring. If hair is overprocessed/porous, get deep conditioning treatments 1x a week for at least 3 wks prior to bleaching. Make sure hair has all yellow tones lifted, but if that's too damaging, then add binding agent to bleach (and prepare a mix of violet/plum dye to blue dye). Wash bleach with clarifying shampoo and if hair is too porous, also wash with a bit of conditioner. Dry thoroughly. Color with prepared dye-mix and let set for appropriate time before washing with cleansing cream. If color appears brassy, wash with purple toner. Apply hair mask or protective conditioner to close cuticles. Continue using toner/purple shampoo and protective conditioner for maintenance. And if necessary, add a bit of dye to conditioner between color touch-ups. Avoid exposure to copper-pipes, chlorine, and salt-water to prevent oxidization.
Some people follow fashion and trends without thinking what looks best on them. Some are stuck in style they have had for decades without changes. That's the problem. Aly looks great by the way.
Agreed! I try to find more modern examples for SD body type myself (that I have as well), but honestly wish that Aly covered this and gave her perspective, because the typical SD style is very limiting and honestly not close at all to what styles I prefer, even though I am trying to like SD silhouettes but as many have said it’s just very granny.
@@blueice011 Gosh, I have the same problem! I am a romantic and not only have big bust and tiny waist, but also wide round hips...It is almost impossible to not look "sexy" (or rather to not be seen this way) wearing all the clothes that match my type... Not mentioning how difficult it is to find clothes that actually would fit-I have 15 inches (30 cm) of a difference between my hips and waist and no jeans suit me🙄 And the bra is even worse-try to find 30F that does not look like grandma's style... 😒
Another mistake I can think of is when ladies have artificial hair colours and still dress as if they didn't have them. For example, if red usually looks great on you, it won't look that good the second you die your hair pink. Or having blue hair when you have green eyes. They tend to cancel each other so none of them stands out. Wearing lipstick that is too light doesn't look good either: sometimes ladies go for a strong eye makeup and pick a skin-like lip colour, so they look like they're about to die lol
I particularly dislike it when women wear lipstick that's too light; it can make them look like they don't have any lips unless you're very close up! I particularly remember an acquaintance who sang at a wedding; from halfway across the church, it looked like she was totally lipless.
I think it would be nice to have a video discussing about olive skin. It is quiet hard to fit an olive tone to category of warm or cool tones, in my opinion
Soo interesting! I have to say your colouring today is fabulous. Your hair, skin tone, eyebrows, lipcolour and eye makeup are superb! The best you have ever looked in my opinion! 😊
In photography and in real life, black eyeliner is not for everyone, just as black hair does not flatter everyone. The eye tends to go to the darkest and lightest parts of what it sees, and a solid black line painted across the eyelids of someone whose hair is not black or dark brown is not nearly as flattering as shades such as bronze, dark brown, deep maroon or dark grey (depending on hair coloring, skin tone and contrast level).
buyerbware25 As a very fair, freckled strawberry blonde ginger I can tell you that, despite coming of age in the eighties AND growing up onstage, I have learned the hard way to RUN FOR MY LIFE if a makeup artist comes at me with black mascara. It literally looks like spiders on my eyes.
5:12 while I agree with what you said, I still think your hair looks so good. Warm roots and all.. Doesn't look unnatural at all. Also Platinum blonde suit you well.
Thank you, Aly. This is very interesting. Thanks to you, I'm becoming more aware of colors, undertones, ashiness... As I grow older (I'm now 56) I've developed a lot of redness around my eyes and it makes me look tired, or like I just cried. I need to neutralize it just to look un-made-up. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos to get a better understanding of what colors are complimentary for me. thanks!
@@susanholl5994 you beat me too it! MAC also have a green pencil type colour corrector. Really effective against redness. Alas I bought it for my dark circles. Useless. There are a few videos on how to apply colour corrector and concealer for mature skin. You must prep your under eye with proper moisturiser. Thin layer of corrector just to neutralise. Then thin application of concealer. One that has good coverage, blends well and is self setting. Biggest mistake is older ladies make is applying too much concealer. Cakes terribly. There's one trick of dabbing setting spray before setting with powder. Other MUAs and skin care specialists say that, while it is very effective only after many hours, it's terribly drying on the skin so should be avoided unless special occasion. :)
@@susanholl5994 as a MUA I see this mistake everywhere: not green, GREY corrector (adjuster) will work on real skin. Green + red = deep grey or brown, it corrects but leaves that dark spot, which is visible under any foundation except full coverage. I worked with mature clients a lot and from that experience I can proof my point. Grey adjuster from Maqpro and Korean bb- or cc-creams (usually having grey undertone) are the best solution. Green is useful for local pimples.
Wearing bright color palettes (green, blue, etc.) and also shimmer/glitter shadows and powders that aren’t as flattering for your skin tone/hair color.
Hi Aly! In one of your older videos, you mentioned that each body type has an essence and vibe, do you think you could make a video elaborating on that? Thank you🌸
Applying mascara wrong for the eye shape and using the wrong shade of mascara. Also using the wrong shape of false lashes like a lot of hairs or too long hairs. Sometimes this is making the eye color look darker as they really are.
I love how you describe all features and colourings as decorations, a palette. I remember an indigenous Australian saying recently that the outside is just decoration, it's what is inside that makes us beautiful. This has really stuck with me. :)
It can be cute, but also for those who don't want to look sick can use other colours like brown, especially under the eye and then you "fix the sickness"
I love that with your tips you can apply this to any style, i'm a bit of a grungy goth and the orange/pink lip color theory can also be applied to eye color if someone chooses to wear those redish shades on their eyes! I find on me (a person who definiteely looks best in terracotta family colors) the same goes with what's on my eye. Muted shades, reds that are a more rusty color make my eye makeup look intentional rather than sick. It's amazing what you can do when you know what you have to work with!
Another color mistake is bright and cool colors on warm muted skintones with dark hair. In other words, confusing dark haired True Autumns with winter seasons.
yes when you spoke about the lipstick colors and you showed the correct lipstick thats basically the only color i wear! the ones on the left , i've tried but they always washed me out! Thank you for this video! I'm learning alot!
You have so much knowledge! You can start a business where you assess and give advice on hair, skin and clothing colours that would suit the client. What's your current profession? 😁
As far as I know she's a singer, and she's from a family if musicians as well! If you haven't already I highly recommend checking out her other TH-cam channel where she does covers, she's amazing!
I’d love a video of blush colours and especially highlighters! I love highlighter but I’m not sure I can tell which type matches my colouring, opal, champagne, silvery or golden
You're so right, I just got my hair dyed golden blonde and it's way too yellow for me! I just ordered a purple shampoo, hope it helps to tone it down haha
This is a great question. I am 66 yrs. young and I want to go grey too. When I was younger my hair was a very dark warm brown and I have yellow brown eyes. I have light warm skin.. i wonder if grey will make me look like the living dead !! Lol
I've been gray since my early twenties and still waiting for fun makeup tips aimed at the silver sisters...I'm 41 and still want fun and flattering makeup
so interesting! I would love a longer video about ginger hair/red hair because I’m thinking about getting my hair dyed but idk if I want to go platinum or try ginger! There’s so many different shades!
Aly, please make a few videos about dying our hair. I have yellow root and want to be ashy blue (like you) but I don't know how. Please, make video about toners and all that stuffs. :-*
I’m a natural redhead with green eyes. I have very white teeth, and I do tan. I have used Lisa Eldridge lip colors and really like them. It’s hard to know what’s best, when so many models are not real redheads .
I would love for you to make a video on the warm roots problem, with product recommendations. Like you, I love ashy blond hair, but I can't afford to do my roots every month at a hair salon... so I buy a supermarket coloration pack, usually ashy/soft blond, but it's always kind of orangey.
So interesting! I always noticed I like low contrast on my face personally, but heard everywhere higher contrast is more attractive. I have very round face and fair features so after what you said now it makes sense why I think my 'moth' look is prettier on me than contrast lol. Same thing with muted. I much prefer those colours as opposed to bright on me. You've clarified so much thank you x
Great video again I agree sooo much with the pink eyeshadow trend ... so strange .... Great advices by the way, if you allow me , I would say your skin and your hair don’t feel so coordinated lately .... you are so well put together usually, I was wondering about it ..
You are right, most of them are such old mistakes... but I think some are just current fashion trends. Like those mismatched make up or hair colours, I think nowadays some people intentionally do that to get that artificial look or exaggerate it. If you look at gen Z instagrammers etc. you'll see it's pretty widespread, especially with lipsticks it's been going on for good several years. People just put all those fantasy colours like dark green, dusty pale blue etc. without taking their natural colouring into consideration, because they even appreciate when it stands out more. Personally I prefer always going for harmonising colours, even in unnatural and fantasy make up, but I think they're doing it on purpose.
Omg yessss a new viiid😍😍😍😍 I was actually thinking about you today coz I realized I was analyzing women on the street and typing them as kibbe categories Don't know if its your influence or the fact that I haven't been seeing a lot of ppl since the confinement 😅😅 Anyway I'm always so happy when u upload ❤❤
You have confirmed so much for me. I kept wondering why my pink eye looks never stand out like the influencers do. I'm olive toned 🤦 I guess it's been kind of a good thing.
Thanks for the video Aly!! After the soft /clear face analysis,could you talk about wearing black clothes? The different effects black can have depending on shape and fabric and how to use it properly?
Could you please do a video on which fashion hair colours(blue, pink, purple, ...) and which of their shades would look best on which skin tones and shades and contrast levels? Love your videos Aly!

Make the yellow year, toned, switch the blue eyes to black, etc. It was very helpful when you were discussing clarity/saturation of skin tones and were showing the difference between black, white, and grey on a fully saturated colour.
Love your videos! Can you do one where you talk about different poses that would go well with each of the body types? I remember in your Marilyn Monroe video you talked about how recreating cutesy Marilyn poses looks a bit awkward with body types that differ from hers. So that got me wondering about what poses /would/ look good for each of the body types.
Yes, please!!
Can confirm this as a soft natural. I look stupid if I try too hard to look sexy or cute.
That's genius
I dyed my hair a yellowish green and my face looked so pink. I don't usually look pink, but the contrast to the green made me look like Barbapapa.
who's barbapapa?? 😂😂😭
@@fabietg2464 that's what i was going to ask 🤣🤣🤣
@@fabietg2464 barbapapas are characters of a tv-show. It is based of the french word for cotton candy; barbe à papa which literally means father's beard. The characters of the show also ressemble cotton candy. Look it up on google😅
Edit: also don't mind my grammar mistakes, English is not my first language
@@suzannecharite you forgot to explain that besides the title, and species name, Barbapapa is the actual name of the pink one too. Because he's the papa; the dad; the father.
@@lieflove12 thanks for the additional information!
I really appreciate that someone finally tells how to look the best the with the way you were born instead of striving to fit into some standard and often ending up looking tasteless. I wish there were more channels like this
#4 is my skin tone issue. I learned through trial & error that “dull” colors are indeed beautiful, because not everyone is meant to wear brights.
BTW, love your ice queen look here, Aly!
Aly didn't mention this but another time color goes wrong is with the use of self tanner in the summer, which can be too warm for naturally light or cool toned skin. Ashy blond looks weird with self tanner.
Susan Holl i think there are self tanning products that are more olive toned
@@ssh1487 if you know of a more cool toned tanner, please point me in that direction. I'm a pale natural blond and every tanner I've ever seen uses dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which looks orange on people who don't have enough melanin to counterbalance the orangey color.
@@susanholl5994 Same!! Always on the hunt for a cool toned self tanner and can never find one :( Following this just in case S Sh responds!
Most noticeable color mistake: women bleach their hair, then dye it dark blue, then wash it once, so it looks like a washed out, bleached green.
is that a mistake or a natural evolution of how demi permanent deposited color evolves on a bleached canvas
@@audreyyoung4556 It's mostly a mistake on the level of bleach the canvas has before applying the color. Some people don't bleach their hair enough before applying a color, it's more common in blue since any yellow tone the hair might still have will be more noticeable when the layers of blue get washed away and the color on top (semi permanent dye doesn't penetrate the hair) is lets the color of the hair itself be seen. It also can happen with ashy hair dye, since that one has a blue tone.
Well what are they supposed to do? Not wash their hair? What is the mistake there?
Common mistake.
Well, the 1st mistake is not getting the right level of bleach to lift all color out the hair. The 2nd mistake is that despite getting the shade lifted, they didn't eliminate any yellow tones or brassiness. It needs to be an ash blonde, a white, or silver base. The other factor is that most blue dyes are always going to fade green, bc they have green undertones. A true blue dye won't fade to green. However, often it does help to add 1/4 plum or violet dye to neutralize any yellow in the dye. Another issue is hair that's overprocessed and porous tends to absorb toners, which makes them difficult to wash out. And that can be a problem if there's still some yellow in the dye that the bleach didn't lift or that the dye-mix didn't neutralize, bc then that yellow tint in the hair will combine with the toner's blue/purple residue, which leads to green hair. What needs to happen is first the overprocessed/porous hair needs to be treated ahead of time (at least a few times before) with a deep condition.
A week later when getting the hair bleached, it's best to mix in a bonding agent like Olaplex or Bondi Boost to prevent breakage. Instead of a toning shampoo, it's preferable to rinse the bleach using a clarifying shampoo -- or if possible, to mix a little bit of powdered bleach into shampoo, and then wash out the hair. This step is mainly focused on helping to remove overtones. The use of toner (after coloring) will focus on eliminating any remaining undertones. Also for hair that's too porous, one should condition the hair after washing out the bleach in order to further close the hair cuticles and reduce the porosity. This is just to prevent uneven coloring or any absorption of color build-up from toner. This way the toner's colors (whether blue or purple) don't latch unto the hair to the point that they mix with any remaining yellow. I know it sounds counterintuitive since toner is supposed to neutralize the yellows, but if the yellow undertones are too overpowering, then it's best to prevent any residue build-up in the first place. Just make sure to wash toner out completely or skip using it altogether.
At this point, the blue dye should be applied and washed with a toner (if necessary) or cleansing cream. A hair mask applied after can help to keep the hair healthy and completely close the cuticle so that the dye won't fade as fast. As long as these steps are done, using toning shampoos to maintain the color shouldn't be a problem. The only exception is if the shower is built with copper pipes, which can leave deposits that make the hair brassy and green. Also avoid chlorine and salt-water beaches/lakes. As stated prior, to prevent the blue from fading during maintenance, it's best to wash with a purple shampoo or toner -- but also it helps to use a color-protecting conditioner. A bit of blue dye can be added into the conditioner, but of course that can only do so much. As with most color deposits, color touch-ups are necessary to maintain the color's vibrancy.

Refresher: If hair is healthy, then proceed to lift to level 9 or 10 for best blue coloring. If hair is overprocessed/porous, get deep conditioning treatments 1x a week for at least 3 wks prior to bleaching. Make sure hair has all yellow tones lifted, but if that's too damaging, then add binding agent to bleach (and prepare a mix of violet/plum dye to blue dye). Wash bleach with clarifying shampoo and if hair is too porous, also wash with a bit of conditioner. Dry thoroughly. Color with prepared dye-mix and let set for appropriate time before washing with cleansing cream. If color appears brassy, wash with purple toner. Apply hair mask or protective conditioner to close cuticles. Continue using toner/purple shampoo and protective conditioner for maintenance. And if necessary, add a bit of dye to conditioner between color touch-ups. Avoid exposure to copper-pipes, chlorine, and salt-water to prevent oxidization.
Some people follow fashion and trends without thinking what looks best on them. Some are stuck in style they have had for decades without changes. That's the problem.
Aly looks great by the way.
I'd like a vídeo on youthful styles for every body type (soft dramatic specially, the clothing style it's very grannny)
I would like to see that too
Agreed! I try to find more modern examples for SD body type myself (that I have as well), but honestly wish that Aly covered this and gave her perspective, because the typical SD style is very limiting and honestly not close at all to what styles I prefer, even though I am trying to like SD silhouettes but as many have said it’s just very granny.
@@blueice011 Gosh, I have the same problem! I am a romantic and not only have big bust and tiny waist, but also wide round hips...It is almost impossible to not look "sexy" (or rather to not be seen this way) wearing all the clothes that match my type... Not mentioning how difficult it is to find clothes that actually would fit-I have 15 inches (30 cm) of a difference between my hips and waist and no jeans suit me🙄 And the bra is even worse-try to find 30F that does not look like grandma's style... 😒
I keep saying system is nearly unadaptable for modern wear but people on reddit firmly believe that it's okay to wear floorlength dress casually.
Do you think Phoebe Waller-bridge is SD? I like her style in fleabag , quite youthful.
Another mistake I can think of is when ladies have artificial hair colours and still dress as if they didn't have them. For example, if red usually looks great on you, it won't look that good the second you die your hair pink. Or having blue hair when you have green eyes. They tend to cancel each other so none of them stands out.
Wearing lipstick that is too light doesn't look good either: sometimes ladies go for a strong eye makeup and pick a skin-like lip colour, so they look like they're about to die lol
I particularly dislike it when women wear lipstick that's too light; it can make them look like they don't have any lips unless you're very close up! I particularly remember an acquaintance who sang at a wedding; from halfway across the church, it looked like she was totally lipless.
I think it would be nice to have a video discussing about olive skin. It is quiet hard to fit an olive tone to category of warm or cool tones, in my opinion
Soo interesting! I have to say your colouring today is fabulous. Your hair, skin tone, eyebrows, lipcolour and eye makeup are superb! The best you have ever looked in my opinion! 😊
I was thinking the same...top!...must be her stay in Florida 🥰🥰
#1 We are NOT in the 80' I was. Yellow teeth wasn't a problem. We were not obssessed by it! lol
Ive seen many women with the wrong eyebrow color. Maybe you could talk about that ~ xox
yep but its very hard to find the right shades :((
I agree, I need help with this
@wings of a butterfly maybe sometimes I feel like filling them in lol
wings of a butterfly spoken like someone who has never encountered sparse or thin eyebrows
@@ssh1487 forreal, the whole comment is just ignorant
2 min. , I love that White Powdered Moth look. 🤩🤣🐑🕸
It looks angelic on women with soft, very dainty faces ("romantic " type).
buyerbware25, yes- you're right. Also I adore the feminine, blocked out eyebrows, and tiny lips.😍
In photography and in real life, black eyeliner is not for everyone, just as black hair does not flatter everyone. The eye tends to go to the darkest and lightest parts of what it sees, and a solid black line painted across the eyelids of someone whose hair is not black or dark brown is not nearly as flattering as shades such as bronze, dark brown, deep maroon or dark grey (depending on hair coloring, skin tone and contrast level).
buyerbware25 As a very fair, freckled strawberry blonde ginger I can tell you that, despite coming of age in the eighties AND growing up onstage, I have learned the hard way to RUN FOR MY LIFE if a makeup artist comes at me with black mascara. It literally looks like spiders on my eyes.
@@i.e.presents638 I wish you never had to avoid makeup people who never bothered to learn redhead.
Your videos are incredibly informative and have helped me look ten times better and gain confidence in myself. Thank you!
I love how u just get straight into it without a long ass intro xx
5:12 while I agree with what you said, I still think your hair looks so good. Warm roots and all.. Doesn't look unnatural at all. Also Platinum blonde suit you well.
I would love a video on freckles ! There is not much good quality content on TH-cam for us freckled girls :(
@Douja that's why I'd like to know how to enhance them (:
@piezkiz Hahaha same here ! But I don’t mind, I think freckles are super cute no matter where they are
Ah hell Two minutes in you’re already dissin’ my purple lip gloss LOL.
Thank you, Aly. This is very interesting. Thanks to you, I'm becoming more aware of colors, undertones, ashiness... As I grow older (I'm now 56) I've developed a lot of redness around my eyes and it makes me look tired, or like I just cried. I need to neutralize it just to look un-made-up. I'm looking forward to watching your other videos to get a better understanding of what colors are complimentary for me. thanks!
Try green color corrector applied lightly alone or under your concealer. Urban decay is a good one.
@@susanholl5994 you beat me too it! MAC also have a green pencil type colour corrector. Really effective against redness. Alas I bought it for my dark circles. Useless.
There are a few videos on how to apply colour corrector and concealer for mature skin.
You must prep your under eye with proper moisturiser. Thin layer of corrector just to neutralise. Then thin application of concealer. One that has good coverage, blends well and is self setting. Biggest mistake is older ladies make is applying too much concealer. Cakes terribly.
There's one trick of dabbing setting spray before setting with powder. Other MUAs and skin care specialists say that, while it is very effective only after many hours, it's terribly drying on the skin so should be avoided unless special occasion. :)
@@susanholl5994 as a MUA I see this mistake everywhere: not green, GREY corrector (adjuster) will work on real skin. Green + red = deep grey or brown, it corrects but leaves that dark spot, which is visible under any foundation except full coverage. I worked with mature clients a lot and from that experience I can proof my point. Grey adjuster from Maqpro and Korean bb- or cc-creams (usually having grey undertone) are the best solution.
Green is useful for local pimples.
I'd love a video on if you'd look good with red hair! It's something I've always wanted to try. Thanks for all your help! ❤️
Wearing bright color palettes (green, blue, etc.) and also shimmer/glitter shadows and powders that aren’t as flattering for your skin tone/hair color.
Well, as someone who needs to wear a mask outside due to corona.... I think I cannot be wrong with the lip Color in 2020.
We should pay attention to the colors of our masks now as it's an a regular accessory worn on our faces.
Hi Aly! In one of your older videos, you mentioned that each body type has an essence and vibe, do you think you could make a video elaborating on that? Thank you🌸
Applying mascara wrong for the eye shape and using the wrong shade of mascara.
Also using the wrong shape of false lashes like a lot of hairs or too long hairs.
Sometimes this is making the eye color look darker as they really are.
I love how you describe all features and colourings as decorations, a palette.
I remember an indigenous Australian saying recently that the outside is just decoration, it's what is inside that makes us beautiful. This has really stuck with me. :)
Yay!!! I would love a part two. Maybe on color trends that are very flattering as opposed to mistakes.
as for the last one, i personally like the "intentionally sick" look, i think it's quite cute haha
They loved the ' sick look 'in the 90s
Rock it girl
I think it’s a cute look BUT only when it’s your goal!
It can be cute, but also for those who don't want to look sick can use other colours like brown, especially under the eye and then you "fix the sickness"
Me too! 😅
@@hanaamasalmeh1906 That's very true actually!
I love that with your tips you can apply this to any style, i'm a bit of a grungy goth and the orange/pink lip color theory can also be applied to eye color if someone chooses to wear those redish shades on their eyes! I find on me (a person who definiteely looks best in terracotta family colors) the same goes with what's on my eye. Muted shades, reds that are a more rusty color make my eye makeup look intentional rather than sick. It's amazing what you can do when you know what you have to work with!
Another color mistake is bright and cool colors on warm muted skintones with dark hair. In other words, confusing dark haired True Autumns with winter seasons.
Can we appreciate the amount of work she puts into her videos?!
Inspiring!
I don't know. I adore yellow hair with pink skin especially on elle fanning
would love it if you did a video on grey hair and eye colors and makeup... 💗🥰
yes when you spoke about the lipstick colors and you showed the correct lipstick thats basically the only color i wear! the ones on the left , i've tried but they always washed me out! Thank you for this video! I'm learning alot!
You have so much knowledge! You can start a business where you assess and give advice on hair, skin and clothing colours that would suit the client. What's your current profession? 😁
As far as I know she's a singer, and she's from a family if musicians as well!
If you haven't already I highly recommend checking out her other TH-cam channel where she does covers, she's amazing!
I’d love a video of blush colours and especially highlighters! I love highlighter but I’m not sure I can tell which type matches my colouring, opal, champagne, silvery or golden
You know it's bad, when you here 40 sec after publishing and you don't have the notification on...
Baf
Také jsem z mongolska
ghost girl z Mongolska?😄😄
You're so right, I just got my hair dyed golden blonde and it's way too yellow for me! I just ordered a purple shampoo, hope it helps to tone it down haha
your channel is a blessing honestly
Alyona ! You look even more gorgeous than usual. Maybe it is thanks to the new lighting
oh my god your make up in this video looks incredible! could you make a tutorial?
Charles Wysocki!!!😻
Video on perfumes based on the body types & Myers personality please
Thank you so much
Yes I would love to see this from her!
omg this haircolor is PERFECT on you
You have a very good eye for these kind of things. Great job!
With this covid pandemic I;ve decided to go grey, could you help with grey hair and makeup?
This is a great question. I am 66 yrs. young and I want to go grey too. When I was younger my hair was a very dark warm brown and I have yellow brown eyes. I have light warm skin.. i wonder if grey will make me look like the living dead !! Lol
I've been gray since my early twenties and still waiting for fun makeup tips aimed at the silver sisters...I'm 41 and still want fun and flattering makeup
Don’t do it lol
THis is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for your hard work and good explanations!!
I love how you are explaining the season-theory in such a simple and clear way! 😊 Maybe an overall brief theory explenation wouldbe helpful 😊
Everytime Aly uploads, I literally say,” Yesss!” out loud haha
I love how she points out that she has warm routes.
This video came right in time because I wanted to dye my hair
so interesting! I would love a longer video about ginger hair/red hair because I’m thinking about getting my hair dyed but idk if I want to go platinum or try ginger! There’s so many different shades!
Everybody should choose to look the way they want
i agree with everything except the balayage i thought the black to white contast looked so cool
Aly.... your skin is loving Florida!🌴🍊
Aly you look STUNNING in this video!!!! Your hair, your skin, your outfit... Absolute bombshell!
Aly, please make a few videos about dying our hair. I have yellow root and want to be ashy blue (like you) but I don't know how. Please, make video about toners and all that stuffs. :-*
I love the way she so neutrally covers various colouring (and includes lots of women of colour in her videos!!!)
I’m a natural redhead with green eyes. I have very white teeth, and I do tan. I have used Lisa Eldridge lip colors and really like them. It’s hard to know what’s best, when so many models are not real redheads .
I hope you dont tan by going in the sun
I would love for you to make a video on the warm roots problem, with product recommendations. Like you, I love ashy blond hair, but I can't afford to do my roots every month at a hair salon... so I buy a supermarket coloration pack, usually ashy/soft blond, but it's always kind of orangey.
This is my favorite video you have done in a while, and I watch them all!! They are all great, but this is extra awesome! Thank you!!!!
I would love to see a make-up tutorial on your look😍😍 its absolutely stunning!
OMG! haha You used a pic of my friend at 2:04! I gotta send this to her now
your tips have really changed my life! i have learnt so much from you Aly
I agree with you, however I really liked almost all “mistakes”. Idk weird taste lol
So interesting! I always noticed I like low contrast on my face personally, but heard everywhere higher contrast is more attractive. I have very round face and fair features so after what you said now it makes sense why I think my 'moth' look is prettier on me than contrast lol. Same thing with muted. I much prefer those colours as opposed to bright on me. You've clarified so much thank you x
I love the shade of your hair and how healthy it looks. Unrelated but true
Hi Aly, will you please talk or use examples on darker skin ladies. I follow you and love how you explain everything.
Yes! Please do a video about toning hair to get rid of yellow and brass to make it ashier!
Pink eyeshadow has been and will likely always be my go to, just like with my hair. Love pink!
Great video again I agree sooo much with the pink eyeshadow trend ... so strange ....
Great advices
by the way, if you allow me , I would say your skin and your hair don’t feel so coordinated lately .... you are so well put together usually, I was wondering about it ..
I would love a video on winter outifts for the body types! Specifically for youthful Romantic - it's so hard in winter to not look like a tent.
This platinum white hair color looks fabulous on you with this make up
You are right, most of them are such old mistakes... but I think some are just current fashion trends. Like those mismatched make up or hair colours, I think nowadays some people intentionally do that to get that artificial look or exaggerate it. If you look at gen Z instagrammers etc. you'll see it's pretty widespread, especially with lipsticks it's been going on for good several years. People just put all those fantasy colours like dark green, dusty pale blue etc. without taking their natural colouring into consideration, because they even appreciate when it stands out more. Personally I prefer always going for harmonising colours, even in unnatural and fantasy make up, but I think they're doing it on purpose.
I love learning color/ fashion/ makeup theory, by knowing the " rules" you can more successfully break them but make it work!
Omg yessss a new viiid😍😍😍😍
I was actually thinking about you today coz I realized I was analyzing women on the street and typing them as kibbe categories
Don't know if its your influence or the fact that I haven't been seeing a lot of ppl since the confinement 😅😅
Anyway I'm always so happy when u upload ❤❤
You have confirmed so much for me. I kept wondering why my pink eye looks never stand out like the influencers do. I'm olive toned 🤦 I guess it's been kind of a good thing.
I just found you. I’m super impressed. Decided to subscribe to your channel. I look forward to seeing more from you.
Hi Aly! Could you please do a video on what kind of eyeshadow would look good on different skin types and undertones?
TBH the beginning of the video I was like "ohhh Aly, this look is not it sis 💀 " and then she pointed it out at 5:07 and I was like I'M LEARNING WELL!
Ι like that you get into the point without long introductions!
This Sia hair looks so good on Aly!
Thanks for the video Aly!! After the soft /clear face analysis,could you talk about wearing black clothes? The different effects black can have depending on shape and fabric and how to use it properly?
Could you please do a video on which fashion hair colours(blue, pink, purple, ...) and which of their shades would look best on which skin tones and shades and contrast levels?
Love your videos Aly!
I love how you present every type is existing in this world! I learn a lot from you. Love your videos!
