Can I just say, I really love how zoomed in and close you are to your face. Like I love seeing your foundation and texture, like how your makeup sits on your face/ I’m so over watching videos with filters and blurs, because then I go and try on makeup and get frustrated it doesn’t look like that. So I really appreciate you, truly
you're literally one of my favourite makeup channels because the way you explain stuff is so comprehensive - my makeup has gotten so much more creative and experimental thanks to you ☺
Exactly. She gets right to it, talks about every detail we need to know, and gets us in close to show us what we need to see. No one does it better. Thank you, Alex!! 👏👏👏❤️
No music. No clichè cheesy intro. Talks to us like we're on the same page, not like you're trying to sell us something. Dude this video was EVERYTHING ; I can't even explain how amazing you are at your craft
People who say you don't have hooded lids need to watch 3:13 b/c (and this is not me trying to point out what some might consider a "flaw") I have the exact same type of lid. It is hooded. As in - part of it folds overtop the lower bit to form a slight, but definitely distinct, hooded appearance. This is why I love seeing your eye looks! I feel like eyes are kind of your thing (I mean all makeup is kinda your thing tbh, but the eyes are where you really *shine* ) and it's very helpful to see someone with *HOODED EYES* work with makeup. We gotta do things a lil differently, us semi-hooded/not-considered-hooded gals.
@@hechetonchieres well, honestly…I felt like I looked like someone trying to hard, if that makes sense. I just try and keep in mind, Jennifer Aniston might not be able to pull this off either. Sticking to my small flick of a wing and I’ve got to keep the under eye a little lighter. Thanks for asking! 🤗
i love how not only calm you are but also entertaining and educational at the same time! a lot of people on here lack that. they usually fake energy and come off too loud and eccentric and somehow still fail to grasp my attention. and so i appreciate you! and you have a new sub!
I rarely comment any videos, but I realize I should because I am truly AMAZED every time I watch YOUR videos. You are my absolute favorite (I found your channel a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier). Thank you for your wonderful tips and skills.
I have watched a number of videos just so some technique clicks to me so a blurry winged liner looks easy to do, and yours was THE one! (And believe me I've watched a tonne...) Somehow every single step looks doable and logical. Thank you, so very much. Very much enjoyed the simplicity of the video too, in a sea of music and fancy lights and product sponsorship.
Shadow liner and shadow wings are soooooo much more my style than the liquid sharp liner look. This I can handle. I got those micro eyeliner pencils and they help so much to sketch the shape and help me get them where I need them. Love. Love. The different shades add so much. Brown for fall. Navy blue. Gray. Omg endless possibilities. Fucking love.
I have hooded eyes. Sharp feline winged liner has always been hit or miss. Smokey liner has always been foolproof for me and it looks so much more complimenting on my hooded eyes
This could be the answer to what the hell I can do with my now crepey (seemed to happen over night) eyelids that isn't so stark and the damn liner can't spider out and show every little crepe and line.... TY ❤❤
I love: (1) didn't smoke the bottom lashes... looks sooo good the way you did it, and (2) that you use Hindash's palette. I still don't have his, because I'm a little intimidated but the more I see you and other traditionally trained artists now makeup artists using it.... it makes me think about being more of a painter :-)
I just started to use facecharts to train creativity. It is so much fun to use every powder I own and my mu-brushes just on paper faces, yeah like a painter. And it is really good training also for mu on real faces.
I’ve been taking a Smokey gray-black (mainly using the darkest color in the UD Naked Basics 2 palette) with a flimsy wing liner brush and hold the brush horizontally like when you are lining your lash line and then flick it up in the angle you want the wing. With the brush I use with the longer bristles, it kind of makes the wing shape for me. I make sure to line my lash line with the shadow first so there is less product on the brush before flicking it out. I then take a small blending brush (I use the morphe M562 brush) with no product on it and fade the top of it out and to blend it out as I have hooded eyes so when I flick it skips a little. I’ll sometimes add more of the shadow with the liner brush on the bottom of the wing to intensify before using some moisturizer on a morphe M432 brush to clean up the underside of the wing (tip I learned from Katie Jane Hughes). I do my eye makeup first so you can also use concealer if you do face first. I’ve gotten this Smokey wing process down so that I can do both eyes with shadow in the crease and lid in under a few minutes for my everyday Smokey wing. This is just another method I use so maybe it could be useful for some of y’all. I do find it looks crazy up until I clean it up with the moisturizer on the brush and add mascara and then it looks great! Great video as always and I’ll be trying it out also as I’ve never thought to use a brown liner first to help with the fade!
Best I’ve seen. I adore this look. Unfortunately, I have hooded lids and it never seem to look quite right on me. If I didn’t, this would be my “go to” look.
I do too. Try going not over your natural crease with your line in an upward ankle but just outward in an horizontal line and smaller flick, should work with a little training and same style as Alex does here.
I kinda layered my liner today. I used this royal blue shadow to smoke out my upper and lower lash line and then used a navy liquid liner. But I love how that brown and black looked together. I usually use one color or the other depending on how dramatic my look is. This really helped fine tune some things I was trying to do already. I love the look of some really precise eyeliner but I do my make up on public transportation so I tend to go no liner or a smoky liner. I have to admit you are totally one of my style icons. I got inspired by your hair and cut my waist long hair into a pixie cut. I even have had my hair platinum for a while. I love color too much and change my color like once a month, I have a lovely periwinkle shade currently.
My hubby is gonna love this look on me - he's always banging on about sultry black eye looks. I love this look too but I've never quite mastered it. I can't wait to try this technique and, fingers crossed, create a "sultry, black eye look", 😉💗💗
Absolutely 🔥 🔥🔥 Girl your skills are magical. ❤️ I’m recovering from Upper eyelid surgery and am so excited about wearing wings again! The hoods, loose skin and fat pads had gotten out of hand and were only going to get worse. Make up is such therapy for me and I’m not ready to lose the dramatic eye looks yet. ☺️
Could you please do a tutorial on how to make cheap/ drugstore eyeshadow pop, even if it's quite a few years old. Would love to get tips on how to make drugstore and even old eyeshadow products (like my chocolate orange Revolution palette) more bold like the current eye makeup trends.
I really love this. There is something so exotic and yet familiar (like reminiscent to the 60s) about the color, shape and depth of this. Definitely going to try it. The colors are literally perfect and they are almost 3D, really cool effect.
Omg wtf I've been trying to do this look for the past two days 😂 just what I needed because I have failed miserably. I can never get it to look soft and blended out how I want it 🥺
I really love the eye make up, like the way the wings look so beautiful yet you don’t have to worry that ur eyeliner is different each other cause they’re just too pretty.
omg i've been doing the eyeshadow trick for a while with my black liner to make it smokey, but i never thought abt using two colors! DEFINITELY gonna try this rn
I am so gonna try this look, stunning! Also, sometimes my eyelids peel like this and I use aquaphora and leave it overnight, it works everytime. Keep serving the looks!
Omg I need to try this. My cat eye skills have left the building as I get older and my hands shake. I love how it’s not so harsh. The idea of the under layer of lighter color before the black is so smart
I love that look. I would never have been brave enough to try it but I will now. I especially like how the outline at the start looked really weird but once you filled it in it looked amazing! I always chicken out at the outline stage thinking I have got it wrong. Thx heaps.
Beauty youtuber that actually shows unique makeup techniques instead of only doing product reviews with the same unwearable drag looks AND is unproblematic? Impossible 🦄
I always wanted to do smokey eyeliner after watching youtube but couldn't achieve the perfect one and end up applying regular eyeliner. This looks helpful!!
Ahw mannnn the peelinggggggg idk about you but when this happened to me, my lids felt like they we're about to crack and fall off my face. For some reason I could barely watch this because it reminded me of this skin struggle bus and the horrible feeling of those dry itchy flippin' lids. For the record - I did watch the whole thing bcs need dis in my life tysm. Outcome is stunning!!
You talked about the pencil liner making the powered last. I’ve done something Similar only with liquid liner instead of the eyeshadow. Helps the liquid go down smoother and it’ll last.
This looks amazing. This was great, you are great! Your makeup videos are so easy to follow! I have been seeing this eye makeup trend Pinterest but never could figure it out. I can't wait to try this out.
Stunning! Eyeliner is the bane of my existence 😩. You need to come to Australian & give me that tutorial in person - preferable while u do my makeup! 🤪😍😍
Can I just say, I really love how zoomed in and close you are to your face. Like I love seeing your foundation and texture, like how your makeup sits on your face/ I’m so over watching videos with filters and blurs, because then I go and try on makeup and get frustrated it doesn’t look like that.

This.
agreed. really appreciate her for this. real skin is beautiful
FOR REAL!!!! It's lovely seeing reality and her confidence
yes!!!
Same…… I just love watching her face
This looks so realistic considering how big the wing is!
🙏🏼❤️
Yes! It's a large wing but it still looks somehow natural. It's a gorgeous understated statement.
You said its not your strong suit - comes out iconic anyway. The deception 😂
I got lucky this time 😂
Right? Stunning.
When you started I was like girl this looks insane and it turned out stunning as always lol
i think the lashes help a lot!
I love that you: still do tutorials, don’t have long intros, and don’t just review new products all the time.
you're literally one of my favourite makeup channels because the way you explain stuff is so comprehensive - my makeup has gotten so much more creative and experimental thanks to you ☺
😭 This makes me so happy you have no idea 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Exactly.
She gets right to it, talks about every detail we need to know, and gets us in close to show us what we need to see.

Thank you, Alex!! 👏👏👏❤️
I second this!! I always learn something new about makeup

I always look weird when i do a FAT wing with liquid liner but THIS... GORGEOUS
off topic but ur SO gorgeous like-
@@djxjxjdhdcixjsxixnsjxjx7132 thank u!! This is truly my best pic 😂☺
I swear she has a spider sense, i literally tried and failed this yesterday
girl same! i tried this on my sister yesterday. it looked SO BAD LMAO
Stunning! Being 58 with hooded eyes and someone who has never succeeded in doing a winged eye I am going to give this a go! Wish me luck.
I’m 52 but same and same! 80s girls can rock this. 👊🏼🤗
How did it go?
@@hechetonchieres well, honestly…I felt like I looked like someone trying to hard, if that makes sense. I just try and keep in mind, Jennifer Aniston might not be able to pull this off either. Sticking to my small flick of a wing and I’ve got to keep the under eye a little lighter. Thanks for asking! 🤗
@@hechetonchieres fail!
DONT sleep on this girl. I didnt realise it at first but shes a gem
Mama how did you KNOW
I literally tried this and failed yesterday. You somehow freakin KNEW
😩 Hope this helps! 🙌🏼❤️
Fucking same
Still can’t get over how beautiful your eyes are 💕
Natasha DeNona explains how to create that shape @3:32 it’s a very elongated shape that angled line on her Zendo tutorial.
i love how not only calm you are but also entertaining and educational at the same time! a lot of people on here lack that. they usually fake energy and come off too loud and eccentric and somehow still fail to grasp my attention. and so i appreciate you! and you have a new sub!
The precision...!! Softening the edges really is a 2-level upgrade IMO.
FOR THE FIRST TIME. IN MY LIFE. WAS I ABLE TO FOLLOW A SMOKEY EYE TUTORIAL. Your videos are truly life-changing.
Yayyy! SO happy to hear this! 🙌🏼❤️
Wow eyes looks amazing. I find them to be powerfully and mysteriously attractive, eyes really are the windows to our souls. Good job kiddo.
I rarely comment any videos, but I realize I should because I am truly AMAZED every time I watch YOUR videos. You are my absolute favorite (I found your channel a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier). Thank you for your wonderful tips and skills.

omg you’re my saviour ive been trying to do this for so long but i can never get it right
Hope it helps!
@@AlexandraAnele it really does. THANK YOU!!!
diJszuuccgl
One of my personal favorite looks you’ve created!
Oh yeah! I want to try this now. But I also have hooded eyes and my eyelid droops over the outer corners. It’s the bane of my existence!
Wow this is so detailed and helpful, and the end product looks so elegant
can you do a glass skin makeup look?? like all creams, maybe drugstore? super fresh and glowy!!
I think I need to wait until my skin fully adjusts to my scrip skincare
@@AlexandraAnele ofc!! and it’s been cool to follow your skincare journey, i’ve been on a bit of a one myself!! thanks alex!!!
Aka every intro to all of her videos💗
Skin is peeling, that's a good thing. Out with the old, in with the new.
😂
@@AlexandraAnele but really, the peeling is great, it means its working!
I love how you start your videos by simply saying ‘Hey.’ It’s so refreshing!
Smokey liner is one of my all time FAVORITE makeup looks hands down. On me, on anyone!!
Wow, I love how this turned out!! I bet it would be pretty in so many colors too, like Navy 😍😍
OoOo yes 😍
I can't wait to try this! You're like the Bob ross of makeup 🥰
Shadow liner and shadow wings are soooooo much more my style than the liquid sharp liner look. This I can handle.

Pushing IN while blending...I think you just spared me two breakdowns a week🖤
I have hooded eyes. Sharp feline winged liner has always been hit or miss. Smokey liner has always been foolproof for me and it looks so much more complimenting on my hooded eyes
I was literally just about to do a smokey liner for the first time and a notification for this vid popped up 😂 Hallelujah
Hope this helps 😘

I really like the look of the brown peeking out of the black. Great lesson!
You are so inspiring❤ and a natural beauty😍
Wow I’ve never seen eyeliner done this way 😍🤩

Using like a chrome or metallic or pearly colour for blending looks subtle but TASTEFUL
Omg this liner is sooooo strikingly beautiful wow

I used to do the smokey black liner as a staple of my look back in 2012; this makes me want to bring it back :)
I really love this. There is something so exotic and yet familiar (like reminiscent to the 60s) about the color, shape and depth of this. Definitely going to try it. The colors are literally perfect and they are almost 3D, really cool effect.
That blending hack alone was 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
YES I have been doing makeup for over a decade now and still have never been able to get this right. This is amazing, thanks.
That's like a burned wood effect, I love it!
I love eyeliner and wear a simple one everyday, so I definitely need to try this one out 😍😊
This is my favorite makeup tutorial I've seen in weeks.
I love the tones together
Omg wtf I've been trying to do this look for the past two days 😂 just what I needed because I have failed miserably. I can never get it to look soft and blended out how I want it 🥺
I tried yesterday. It was so so bad. She is the savior of eye looks
I swear your outros are the best...always have me giggling 🤭💙
By far the best makeup chanel.
I found my wedding eye makeup 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 thank you for your service, Alex
I love this look. I how versatile you can make it, cool or warm tone.
Love this look 🐱
This is so, so pretty, saved it for when I'll wear make-up again (at my rate, probably in my next life).
I never thought of using 2 pencils 😮 I just used black pencil and faded into brown eyeshadow. Gotta try this out, thank you for sharing 💕
I really love the eye make up, like the way the wings look so beautiful yet you don’t have to worry that ur eyeliner is different each other cause they’re just too pretty.
I have such a hard time with wings. I have never ever seen anyone start one like you did here... This I can actually try and do.❤️
omg i've been doing the eyeshadow trick for a while with my black liner to make it smokey, but i never thought abt using two colors! DEFINITELY gonna try this rn
I looove this look! You are absolutely amazing Alexandra! ♥️
I’ve never seen this look before. It looks so amazing and I want to try it right now
I am so gonna try this look, stunning! Also, sometimes my eyelids peel like this and I use aquaphora and leave it overnight, it works everytime. Keep serving the looks!
this look is so flattering on your eye shape omg!! also very trust the process vibes
Wow , that looks amazing on you :) And you're right , we can see the layering and it just looks so much prettier .
Omg I need to try this. My cat eye skills have left the building as I get older and my hands shake. I love how it’s not so harsh. The idea of the under layer of lighter color before the black is so smart
"I have a cood...what?" Haha! That was cute! I laughed out loud! And your stunning and so talented!!!!!!
I love that look. I would never have been brave enough to try it but I will now. I especially like how the outline at the start looked really weird but once you filled it in it looked amazing! I always chicken out at the outline stage thinking I have got it wrong. Thx heaps.
honestly just glad that i'm not the only person with peely eyelids lol
I really like the look I would just love to see it applied to accommodate a hooded eye
Wow! This makeup looks fabulous! 😍
alex out here making sure our makeup is always on point 💅
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
IVE NEVER SEEN THAT TECHNIQUE. Thanks!
I love your voice and I’m so glad YT suggested you to me today!
This was great indeed. One of the most helpful makeup tutorials I've ever watched! Never would have thought of using the brown but it worked so well

I bet pairing with a nude or midtone wash on the lids would polish it even more.
You’re so pretty ❤️ you have the most beautiful eyes
You are so fun to watch and so pretty. I love the no intro style. Unfortunately I’m 62 and my eyes have lost collagen so none of this works. 😕
This look is gorgeous!
🐱 you are the Cats Meow...very feline 🐈! Beautifully executed!❤then again you have a perfect eye/lid shape which really enhances the wings!
Stunning! Eyeliner is the bane of my existence 😩. You need to come to Australian & give me that tutorial in person - preferable while u do my makeup! 🤪😍😍
