    Being human is so lame sometimes. Hearing you talk about the darkness around your eyes negatively, meanwhile I literally put on eyeshadow to mimic it. You look so chic, so delicately alive, absolutely gorgeous without a touch of makeup on. I want to appreciate my natural puffiness and redness more, emphasize my aegyo sal or irritated flush. I'm plump and proud.

      Oh My Goth! I' ve been using MAC Haux and Quarry to enhance my dark circles, blending it out with yellow down to the angular arteria and pure green following my dorso-nasal arteria (I' m exactly Anelochka' s skin shade). For the rest of my face, I go for the other side of the coin, deep greyish hollows to mimic the skull and highlighter wherever a bone is pointy (TMJ, gonial angle...) but playing with puffiness sounds cute. Maybe this will be my "Halloween Look" 😉 You need to see the last model of Painted by Spencer😮. 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

    I misuse Sephora's black matte liquid lipstick as an eyeshadow base, consider buying one just to use as base in case the dedicated eyeshadow base products don't work for you. It works the exact same way as described in this video. Take it from someone who has been to hundreds of goth/metal/scene/punk etc parties and festivals and did a lot of makeup. Obviously don't do it if you already used the lipstick on your lips, to avoid infections. Edit: and when you have next to no money, just get an Essence black kohl pencil, and use that as base or something, it's not as great, but still pretty awesome.

      I'm in my 30s and I do that trick too. Half line of black eyeshadow on my upper lash line blended at the edges and just a gentle wisp of the nearly empty brush on the outside corner on the lower lid. It can be defining but subtle for natural looking everyday makeup. Or I do the same thing but with a brown shadow if I really want to do the "no make-up" makeup look aka the "I just rolled out of bed looking this perfect" illusion.

My shadows are starting to get a bit gunked up, though. I'm wondering if a better quality shadow would help and stop the shadow from gunking up like that. I've also seen actual cake eyeliners but I have never tried any yet. I just can't use the shadows dry. Not as a liner. They end up smearing and moving around unless I've gotten them wet before putting on.

The Elf drops works great for a dried up gel liner and things like that but I tried mixing it with a powdered shadow and it just didn't work that well. (I only used the TEENIEST, TINIEST dop of it but it sheered it out too much.) The drops do work great for sheering out cream/liquid blush, though. So it wasn't a waste.

    I am new to your channel but your tips and tricks are great! Easy to follow and your so pretty and funny I love throwing your videos on while I'm getting ready. I'm an artist so contouring the face in certain ways makes sense to me as an illustrator. The highlight in the inner corner of your your eyes pulls the dimensions of your face to make them not inset so deep. It's tricking your eyes into reading that space differently! It makes you look more youthful, as darker and deeper set eyes happen naturally with age for the most part. I find looking at how artists DRAW faces can help you learn new ways to add contour for make up, it's just playing with colors lighting and dimensions after all!

    I love a Smokey eye but I’ve always been a sucker for a blue shimmer on top bc ~grunge~ so this will totally help me class up the look for nicer events! Thank you!

    I have deepset eyes and would have NEVER tried this black eyeshadow look - until now.
    I swear, Alex could smear mud all over her face and still be the hottest chick in the room.

    Such a great video on Smokey eyes... I struggle everytime with normal black eyeshadow powder because no matter how dark it looks in the palette the pigment is slightly lighter on the eyes (nd yes I've tried a few palettes). But the eye pigment step is I believe a game changer. Loved it.. and GIRL YOUR SKINNNNNNNN!!!!! Butter smooth 😍😍😍 Get better soon n stay shining 🌟

    You’re my idol. I swear other big creators just tell you some bs so they can hide their secrets while showing off their talent. 😂 You actually teach us and I’m so grateful because I love art but know nothing about makeup basics. Thank you! 💚

    I haven't tried this look just yet, but I bet blending with loose powder would also work well.
    Thanks for yet another great video! You give such great explanations, and your calm but fun teaching style is always a pleasure to watch.

  • @TheRisingIcarus
    @TheRisingIcarus ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is nice as it teaches to trust the process. Half of my "can't be arsed" attitude when it comes to makeup is halfway through I usually dislike how it looks and think it'll never work and then take it off. Whereas usually towards the end if I just slap some liner and mascara on it's all fine

  • @stellasilverstone
    @stellasilverstone ปีที่แล้ว

    This is great! I also found that if you have a more prominently wide upper nose bridge(like me), extending inner and outer corners a little bit really stops from messing with facial proportions, ( especially stopping my small eyes from appearing smaller). Love this tutorial ❤️

    Very useful, enjoyed the recommendations on using face products on the eyes for a lighter touch eyeshadow and why this works (less pigment in the product because it's intended for the face and not the eyes)

    This is sooooo cool looking im so late to the makeup game. Wasn’t allowed to wear it till I moved out on my own. When i was a late teen I snuck the bare basics so I could remove quickly 😅 and at 36 i can say ive not truly experimented with much but this is by far one of the prettiest looks I’ve ever seen! So beautiful and yet confident looking! Thanks for this video and great tips for ppl like me who know nothing about this !!!
