Would you be down to do a “The Basics of” video about brushes? I truly feel like I have no idea what brushes are best for which products-so it would be so helpful to have a video that chats about what brushes are for and has some links to affordable vs luxe and synthetic options!
She has done a "brushes video" but it's quite old. If you look for it in her catalog, you can see that. But I agree!!! I would love her to do an updated one. Or a couple actually!!! She is such a good teacher, she can really break down the lesson so we can apply her knowledge so we better know what to buy and what to reach for. Like doing a make up tutorial but focus more on what brush she is using for each step and explain why THAT brush. Or explain what kind of brushes to reach for specific tests. Everyone always says "using a Sigma E24" well, hell, I dont have that one. What else will get the job done?
@@Meg-cc6yc Alexandra would not be a candidate for Accutane. It is for more severe cases of acne…as in chronic, inflamed, cystic acne that pit scars, and is covering a large portion of the face.
@@keer8071 mine was pretty moderate. It was just really bad on my cheeks so I had to go on it. I just finished my last month and I love the results. For Alexandria, I guess you’re right because her skin is already beautiful and she only has a few blemishes.
with these types of pimples, I literally just give up😩 and in a way that’s been a massive relief, doing my makeup and just letting my pimple‘s redness shine through. I don’t have to worry about touching up that area and it’s weirdly liberating. And you can’t erase texture anyways.
Try the cosrx pimple patches, you cant see them easily on the skin, it hides the redness and smoothes out the bump ❤ you can even put makeup on top and it'll treat your pimples at the same time ❤
You could try a green colour correcter! I find that works super well to get rid of redness without all the fuss of concealer. I use a green concealer in a pot that is quite creamy, and blend it into the skin so it just evens out the skin tone. Then you aren't layering products over products. But it's cool that you find this liberating, and I totally support that!
Very good advices ! I would just like to suggest not to use the primer and the concelear directly from the packaging but to use spread some on the back on a hand and use a (clean !) finger so the the bacteria from the blemish won't get to a product. Still a great video, as always
YES: packaging contamination is no joke I even clean off my mascara wand, so I don’t get dead skin, drowned eye mites, hairs or half-dry product back into my tube. It stays nicer longer, even if some is wasted. Better to have better product longer than throw out a fucked tube sooner
Ever since I started using your technics for covering my acne it's made me look better but also FEEL so much more confident when showing my face in public, so, a huge thank you
Your skin looks amazing...it's just purging those areas where you probably had the most oil all of your life. Perfect basic coverage video! I don't understand why no one else on the tube wants to show breakouts or how to cover them for real life??? 🤔they just want to hide under lights. So thank you Alex once again for always being you! 🥰
@@yagmurdemirel7347 I use them for both. They draw out gunk and decrease the size of zits and pimples, and if the area is especially inflamed and open, they will protect and keep the skin clean and help it recover faster.
Finally a makeup artist who actually shows their skin how it is in the moment, and shows how makeup actually looks while having spots!! Thank you for making me feel normal 🤍
See!? This is just proof that inspiration can strike anytime/anywhere! Super helpful video especially the part about “setting” the concealer with a powder foundation. BRILLIANT 🤩
I’m so happy I’m not alone with breakouts! I’m 30 still dealing... Thank you for the videos! Your skin is so pretty even UP CLOSE! Also it looks like they’re in the area where glasses hit? Stay happy, healthy and balanced. 💕🪴🧚🏻♂️
See this looks sooo natural and real. Like this is the first time I see a well done covered blemish/pimple/acne… it’s so natural and well in toned with your skin. You couldn’t have done it better, this is just perfect, more or less of what you did here wouldn’t have been the same results. But all the other makeup videos I’ve seen, they literally look like they faded their acne and I am like, HOW? Cause I swear at times I do my best and it doesn’t look- ahem- AIR BRUSHED like theirs.
I’m kinda proud of myself for figuring all of this out about a decade ago when I barely knew anything about makeup but was obsessed with covering my pimples. This is, down to the letter, what I used to do to cover them! Works great.
You should try the new Cosrx master pimple patches, designed to be flat and able to put makeup on top so you can also treat your pimples without irritation from the makeup
So for me this weird thing that happened every time I tried to cover acne spots and bumps would be this skin peel piece sticking out minutes later after I’m done with makeup smfh
@@AlexandraAnele exactly! ...if this "skin offense" was jailable I would have spent a total of 2 yrs of my post-teen life "in jail" for "skin crimes" (against myself!!😂🤣😂🤣) ....thanks for decoding the mystery Alexandre!
If you have a loose setting powder before you put on any liquids on your face apply some of the setting powder to that specific area. Brush off the excess and then your liquids/creams should stick there. Unless it's like a flaky dry patch then exfoliate instead,and wait for it to well not be flaky.
This happens to me when my acne starts healing, those areas get so dry my skin start peeling and it doesn’t look pretty under makeup/powder. Make sure you also hydrate those areas at night as well that way it’s stays hydrated overnight. Makes makeup application in the morning much easier.
This was my exact struggle! I keep getting acne in the areas that I want to put contour and blush, and your recommendation of blending concealer with contour/blush to match is just genius and completely solves my problem
Ugh such a drag!!! I started a new skincare routine and immediately started breaking out! It’s probably purging because I haven’t gotten any new ones and they’re fading out but damn! Will this ever stop?!??
i got breakouts exactly like those ones a few weeks ago and was feeling very bad and ugly but seeing you makes me realize u can still be beautiful they’re just a couple breakouts.
As I get older and my “skin concerns” change and mature, I’m finding that I more and more want to just go au natural on my skin. I still do contour, blush, highlight and glam eyes, just no foundation. For me, spots just seem to be highlighted by trying to hide them. I abandoned foundation years ago and have been a concealer only girl to highlight and manage under eye darkness. Today I dispensed with the concealer too because I’m sick and tired of how badly it all wears and leaves me looking cakey with enhanced pores and lines. I’ve embraced my skin imperfections because I’ve realised I actually look better that way. And @Alexandra Anele so do you! When you first dabbed on your foundation I felt that was enough….but I know how demoralising spots can be. Would you consider doing a “no foundation or concealer” glam routine? I just know that you’d still look flawless 😊
Re: keeping concealer coverage while applying cream products… would you be able to do an in depth video?? I only use concealer to spot conceal acne and I love using cream everything. But I always lift the concealer. I feel like many people would be able to relate to this since low-coverage looks are quite popular nowadays
You and your brother are my favorite people. You make makeup seem so less scary and I love how you explain why you do the things you do. You make makeup make sense 👌👌👌✨✨✨✨
1stly, thank you for posting a whole video for covering pesty pimples! 2ndly, your skin looks awesome! 3rdly, please please please continue sharing your skin care journey! I’ve been following and love that you’ve been sharing but whatever you’re doing is WORKING! It looks amazing! Please fill us in with an update Love yaaa! 💕
Hi! I've been covering my blemishes like this for years. I learned it from Lisa Eldridge. Didn't know the trick of letting the concealer set a little bit. Thank you for the information. It's interesting that after you covered the spots, a little bit red of redness was still showing; but in the photo with the full makeup the blemishes weren't visible at all. I'm going to stop overdoing it trying to cover the spot perfectly from now on.
Wow - what a difference using the correct shade makes! That's going to be so helpful to me - I always make the mistake of using a lighter shade and, yes, it highlights the blemishes! Thank you for the awesome tips!
Your video quality is THE best I've witnessed in this platform A++. Thank you so much! It makes me feel so confident about what you're sharing and it's a true joy to watch.
thank you so so much. you don't know how much these videos help me. not only because it teaches me how to cover up something im insecure about but also because i think you're absolutely gorgeous and this helps me realize that you can be beautiful and acne doesn't change anything ❤️
Thank you for this! I always feel like i’m wiping off the concealer no matter how gentle I am. I definitely am going to let it sit for a bit before trying again. And your skin is so gorgeous!
Yup, perfect timing!! My daughter and I have been looking for a new concealer for covering acne. BareMinerals discontinued their bare pro stick concealer 🥺 we are trying the dermablend quick fix concealer now, seems comparable if anyone is looking! Love your channel 💖
Kudos to you for making such a detailed acne concealing video. Most youtubers doesn't dare to go for that close up shot. I was always intrigued by the fact that no matter what Concealer I used a beauty blender removes it when I try to blend it in. I will surely follow your tip from now on🙏 Love from India ❤️
I don't know if it's just a case but from when I'm using the Lisa Eldridge highlighter, I don't have the pimples on my temples anymore. I didn't have pimples in the past but it started when I started to use highlighters. It could be that the particles that shine irritate the skin. I would recommend you to stop for a while the use of highlighters with chunky glitters or big particles, I found the Lisa Eldridge highlighter working for me.
Great job with the concealing! I appreciate the step-by-step instructions. The “after” look you flashed on the screen looked stunning- can’t wait for that video.
I hate it!! My poor daughter has it too now she's 15yrs. She cried the other when BM discontinued their stick concealer. We are on a journey now to find something else. Trying dermablend quick fix concealer now.
@@charleneearle1271 both my girls have been struggling too, they clearly have inherited my great genes! My eldest eventually used Duac cream with success, my youngest is 12 and has started with acne so we may well have to do some trial & error if it doesn’t settle. Good luck with the concealer for her 🤞(bless her) 💞
i don't know why your makeup application chills me out and is soothing to watch but thank you . idk what it is . I'm sure you can start an ASMR channel :p just so chill.
thank you for this video. i have seen many things explaining the same/similar way of covering ance but they never in detail told me how to fully do it. you answered all my questions right after i thought about them in my head. hitting the subscribe button!
Suuuuper helpful video! It's great to see someone with the same type of acne AND skin type (but also I'm sorry you're breaking out lol). Quick question: If I have a couple of these large deep pimples on my chin, it pretty much makes my whole chin red. Would it be better to use a full coverage color corrector or a green primer?
A hack if your concealer doesn’t match your foundation perfectly: I always apply the concealer (on my breakouts specifically) first and then go in with foundation on top. 10/10 recommend
Ice! Ice the breakouts for 5min. This really calms the inflammation and somehow works magically to help promote the healing. You cover the breakouts so artistically! I need to improve my technique!! I use the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakouts Concealer on those pesky blemishes (it has salicylic acid as well) but I use Elf Camo concealer or the Bare Minerals BarePro stick concealer for under the eyes, etc. Dr Jarts Cicapair...life changing as far as makeup goes!! At least for me. It pulls double, maybe triple duty! It's green so it color corrects; it's sunscreen (SPF 25 I think). It dries down to your skin color ... so zero gray cast! After serums and moisturizer...I apply Cicapair and let it dry down and melt into my skin for a couple of minutes while I do my brows; apply a little concealer(s) where needed, a bit of blush, and top it all off with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, and mascara. The perfect "no makeup" make look. I'm in the medical field so a full face of anything doesn't work well with an N95 mask. But this combo works well for me. But geez..I really need to work on my technique Thanks Alex!!
Honestly I want to thank you so much for this video. I have prom tomorrow and unfortunately am having a bit of a breakout so this video helped me so much
Have you tried the Clé de Peau concealor? It's full coverage but looks like a light coverage and doesn't crease/move - very elegant. It's expensive, but lasts a long time....for me, there's nothing like it.
I’m literally obsessed with u THANK U 😭 I’m on month 2 of tretinoin and clyndamycin and my skin is so much better but the few lil bitches that pop up get so big and i can never make it look good with makeup
This was super helpful! I have also been on a skincare journey & same thing happened to me, 3 big ones on my cheek & forehead. 😩 Definitely going to be using these tips! Much appreciated, Alex! 🙌🏽
Thank you for the tip mixing concealer and bronzer to maintain full coverage. I’m new to cream bronzer/ blush and was experiencing a loss of coverage!! Going to try this out.
This was so helpful thank you. Next step is trying to figure out what type of makeup suits my features because no matter how hard I try or how many things I try I feel like nothing compliments my features and I’m lost 😩
You are so good with the little details! Could u demonstrate how you'd do da big "cover-up" when applying cream bronzers, blushes? Know u said how at the end but... with hyperpigmentation on cheek areas and forehead, would u use same technique? (I haven't looked up ur old vids, so maybe u did it. If so,
Thank you for making such amazing videos. No matter what it is I just know it’s so high quality. You are so talented, and as a teenage makeup enthusiast I literally worship your artistry💕
Oh buddy, those look like they *hurt*!! I feel your pain. I can't leave mine alone when they pop up, because I'm terrible at impulse control. I just got a whoooollle pallette of colour (like, everything! Even red!!) correctors by Reema off Boxycharm add-ons. I haven't used it yet, but I'll letcha guys know how it is.

Omg I have pimples in the exact same spots right now! Thank you for making this.
Hi there, new subscriber here. I saw your video on how to apply lashes and I'm here to stay! I love how calm and personable you are.
LOVE YOU TIP ABOUT LETTING THE CONCEALER SIT AND TO RABBIT WITH YOUR FINGER!!! Thank you!!
Super useful - thank you! I'm a sheer coverage gal so when I get breakouts it's usually they take over my face or a case of cakeface
Another video yay I love how you post and also I love youuu🌸🥰💕🥰
😩🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
That pore filler tip is genius!
Ice! Ice the breakouts for 5min. This really calms the inflammation and somehow works magically to help promote the healing.
You cover the breakouts so artistically! I need to improve my technique!! I use the IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakouts Concealer on those pesky blemishes (it has salicylic acid as well) but I use Elf Camo concealer or the Bare Minerals BarePro stick concealer for under the eyes, etc.
Dr Jarts Cicapair...life changing as far as makeup goes!! At least for me. It pulls double, maybe triple duty! It's green so it color corrects; it's sunscreen (SPF 25 I think). It dries down to your skin color ... so zero gray cast! After serums and moisturizer...I apply Cicapair and let it dry down and melt into my skin for a couple of minutes while I do my brows; apply a little concealer(s) where needed, a bit of blush, and top it all off with Bare Minerals Mineral Veil, and mascara. The perfect "no makeup" make look.
I'm in the medical field so a full face of anything doesn't work well with an N95 mask. But this combo works well for me. But geez..I really need to work on my technique
Thanks Alex!!
I watched this awhile ago and it helped so much I came back to it today to cover some massive cystic acne zits. This video has saved my face!
Honestly I want to thank you so much for this video. I have prom tomorrow and unfortunately am having a bit of a breakout so this video helped me so much
Have you tried the Clé de Peau concealor? It's full coverage but looks like a light coverage and doesn't crease/move - very elegant. It's expensive, but lasts a long time....for me, there's nothing like it.
Sometimes your skin will purge when trying new skincare products. Maybe that's what's happening with your breakouts.
Oooooh are you making a tutorial for the final look? It’s absolutely stunning! Love your vids btw 💗
I’m literally obsessed with u THANK U 😭 I’m on month 2 of tretinoin and clyndamycin and my skin is so much better but the few lil bitches that pop up get so big and i can never make it look good with makeup
omg bless ur heart. i was just about to get ready for senior pictures. thank u alex 😌🤍
H9ope it helps love! 🙌🏼❤️
This was super helpful! I have also been on a skincare journey & same thing happened to me, 3 big ones on my cheek & forehead. 😩 Definitely going to be using these tips! Much appreciated, Alex! 🙌🏽
You always appear when I need it the most 🖤
Thank you for the tip mixing concealer and bronzer to maintain full coverage.
I’m new to cream bronzer/ blush and was experiencing a loss of coverage!!
Going to try this out.
This was so helpful thank you.
Next step is trying to figure out what type of makeup suits my features because no matter how hard I try or how many things I try I feel like nothing compliments my features and I’m lost 😩
Your skin is gorgeous
Ze best makeup artist 😍
You're so real! I appreciate you!
You are so good with the little details!
Could u demonstrate how you'd do da big "cover-up" when applying cream bronzers, blushes? Know u said how at the end but... with hyperpigmentation on cheek areas and forehead, would u use same technique? (I haven't looked up ur old vids, so maybe u did it. If so,
This helps soooo much, thank you it makes me 100% more confident!
My favorite powder foundation to use to spot conceal is the makeup forever matte velvet foundation!
Good job Alex, its magical how you made it disappear. You really are a Wizardess
Your skin looks so natural and the glow is so pretty. How do you achieve this since you mentioned you're wearing foundation?
Thank you! Side note: Deets on the nails? Acrylic, gel?
I had a zit today… used green corrector from cover fx, pyt cream concealer and a lip bruch to cover it. Worked perfectly 👌 you done a great job too
I always cover my breakouts this way! The powder tip works wonders, I've always done it and I thought it's a great way to cover pimples C:
I always breakout like that a week before my period, this was so helpful
Thank you for making such amazing videos. No matter what it is I just know it’s so high quality. You are so talented, and as a teenage makeup enthusiast I literally worship your artistry💕
Oh buddy, those look like they *hurt*!! I feel your pain. I can't leave mine alone when they pop up, because I'm terrible at impulse control.
I just got a whoooollle pallette of colour (like, everything! Even red!!) correctors by Reema off Boxycharm add-ons. I haven't used it yet, but I'll letcha guys know how it is.
