Hi, I'm Alexandra. I believe life can be both glorious, tricky and even painful.. which we all know. Beauty is a practice I have enjoyed from early childhood as a way to build my confidence in myself. Not just on "special" occasions, but in my every day life and decision making. On my YouTube channel I show you practical steps and psychology to understand and apply methods in all areas of beauty; inclding fashion, makeup, hairstyling and femininity, to help us evolve and transform into our personal visions. I believe when a girl feels good about herself, she can make better choices for herself in ALL areas of life. Welcome to my channel, I'm glad you found me.
hi everyone welcome to my channel let's
do a K Beauty get ready with me I'm
going to do a makeup look let's hang out
first starting off with sunscreen
awesome sunscreen this is SPF 50 with
the highest level of coverage but
completely invisible this video is
sponsored by itude this is a K Beauty
brand that has awesome products
everything is really affordable like
really affordable now it's time for
brows I like this pencil the way it's
shaped makes it really easy to do my
brows and brush through them so that
they look natural I got this sebum soak
powder packed this is like a cushion
Foundation only it's not a foundation
it's for setting and preventing oily
skin and since I got this it's much
different than a traditional loose
powder it's pressed and I like to use it
a little bit before foundation and a
little bit
after I like how is Hood products are
affordable this Foundation is both
afford able and it has sun protection I
would call this Foundation matte but not
so powdery that no light can reflect off
of it in fact it has light reflection
but it's nowhere near sticky or dewy I
really like it now I'm going to take
some concealer and I have two shades
that I'm going to use one on the left is
a little more pink and the other one is
Olive the undertones are very subtle and
the difference is really subtle but I
like the combination of both espe
especially the pink one underneath my
eyes where they are the darkest and then
the one with a slightly more Olive
undertone that can go towards the outer
edge and I'll use it to highlight the
rest of my
face once that's Blended out it's time
for Contour this must be the most
perfect Contour shade Duo that I've ever
seen it is truly super easy to work with
so often when you apply Contour Products
they are really pigmented and the whole
idea is that you buff and blend them out
now I'm going to blend this but you can
see right when I apply it it mimics the
exact natural Shadow on my skin so
placement is the only key and it's going
to go underneath my cheekbones as well
as on the top of my forehead and it
Blends almost on contact if you place it
correctly I'm taking the lightest amount
of powder to the sides of my nose
bringing the Contour of my eye and
connecting it which in turn breaks up
the porcelain effect of the foundation
and gives a little bit of Dimension that
is completely palatable it's not too
much which I've come to learn is the
best way to do Contour okay I have some
really cute lip products that I want to
show you I want to try them on first cuz
I don't know what I'm going to use and
halfway through my makeup I do like to
plan the whole look including what I'm
going to wear so I'm trying on this red
oil this is a lip oil and it is
beautiful it's soft and it blossoms to
be very Rosy and slightly pink on your
lips over time as you can see and then
we have this one which is beautiful this
loose sight effect container is
beautiful so you can see the glazed pump
shade in pink with a little hint of this
gold it is very sheer and a little bit
tingly it will plump the lips slightly
but it doesn't burn like some I have a
few shades of this and each one looks so
different in the container but they are
very similar you have to pick based on
the undertone that you want so this blue
one the actual tube itself this is my
favorite but I would choose this when
I'm doing a cool tone makeup look
because though it's subtle that slight
blue effect will bring the lips from
neutral to slightly cooler pink the
purple shade has a more deepen effect so
it'll bring out the richness of your lip
color and I do plan to add it on top
with this new fixing tin this is going
to be the base because it gives this
matte colorful effect that can be
Blended very easily you could totally
use this without your eyes open p it
with your fingers and you'd have such a
great lip look it's really easy to use
once we do the eyes then I'm going to
use that with one of the glosses over
top so I'm going to take off the lip
color and wait until the end now I'm
going to take a quick break and get
dressed I like to plan around what I'm
going to wear because it of course
brings the look together and I'm going
to understand better what level of
intensity that I want my makeup to have
my dress has a really intense color and
I'm going to mimic that same intensity
with the eyes but still keep makeup
really simple focusing on lashes I have
always had trouble with my lashes and
mascaras flaking and smudging and all of
that and I'm just using the one that I
oops okay hold on when this happens I'm
happy that this happened because it is
totally fixable but what you have to do
is keep applying your mascara do not
touch the smudge until it's dry then
take a little spoolie I'm using my
eyebrow brush and Fleck it off so that
it just comes off without disturbing or
smearing but speaking of smearing lashes
and mascara this is so cool it's a clear
product and it's called the do mascara
fixer this is a fixing product that you
brush on top of your lashes after you've
applied your mascara and it will keep
them curled but more importantly it
stops your mascara from smudging and
flaking and you can use it over top of
your mascara so you don't have to go buy
another mascara hoping that it won't
flake this product will take your
mascara from flaky and smudgy to
becoming usable and Lasting all day I
don't want to do liner on my eyes at
least on the upper lash line I just want
to add a little bit of emphasis to the
lashes with some half lashes and then if
you've never done this before it looks
totally strange I'm taking this cream
gel liner and I'm putting it on the
upper lash line which is going to add a
Darkness so that it looks like the
lashes are really full coming from the
root and you have to keep your eyes
closed while you do this I think and
then I'll take a little bit of it but
gently so that I'm barely touching my
inner waterline and I'm just trying to
create a little bit of Darkness I don't
mind any of that skipping there because
I was trying to just put a tiny bit and
then using that Contour powder I can
blend it out and make it look lived in
like it's been on my eyes for a little
bit of time I like that look it's like
natural but relaxed but still a little
bit dramatic once I did the lower lashes
with a little bit of mascara I'm
definitely going to need this Dr mascara
fixer I'll put a small amount on the
lower lashes because that's the main
smudgy you know what I mean it's like
the main thing that smudges my mascara
would just smudge period but whenever
it's on the lower lashes then you can
guarantee it's going to bleed into the
concealer and stuff but this prevents it
I absolutely love it I'm very thankful
for this product now let's do lips
before blush I'm going to use the fixing
tint and put a little bit on the upper
and lower lower lip and then I'm going
to blend the color out with my finger
this Blends and blurs perfectly you can
add more for more coverage but I want to
add gloss on top for a sheer look I'm
using the glazed plump and this is in
the pink shade this is so nice with the
applicator being silicone it's not a
brush and it's not porous so you can
spread the product really nicely and the
applicator itself just feels cool I
really like it this blush is what we're
going to apply next and it is so cute it
comes with this little puff which when I
first got it I thought just like some
little applicators that come with things
you think oh it's not really going to be
the ideal way but I am so happy with how
this applies to the skin I it doesn't
like I don't know it's very wonderful
they know what they're doing over
attitude I will link all of these
products below here I hope that you
enjoy this makeup look I certainly love
