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.

bye Barbie hi Barbie
[Music]
stop playing with them Riot and I'm
about like the Barbie I'm a doll but I
still Wanna Party pink felt like I'm
ready to bend again
[Music]
I love the whole Barbie thing and I love
it because so much of the time in our
life Fashion Beauty all of the solutions
around those things are positioned to
help you look less tired or help you
feel more put together everything is
kind of based in a Fix-It framework
that's not the case with Barbie it's all
about enjoying what you think looks good
what you want to wear it's all about
pleasure it's not about a trend and it's
not not about Trends it's about you
saying I like what this is and I want to
wear it and it makes me happy and it
makes me feel good instead of just doing
what you think you need to do or what is
socially acceptable try a Barbie get
ready with me for yourself and get ready
in a way that just makes you happy see
what the outcome is
foreign
[Music]
mixed all of these colors together
because I wanted to make a custom color
I just love playing with color and
makeup and stuff and sometimes it's fun
to make your own shade I'm gonna put
these nails on and then paint them with
two or three coats
[Music]
I feel like I've been doing neutral for
so long and it's so fun to just come
back to color and like fun not because
it's on Trend but because it's like
happy it's happifying I love having pink
around me and yellow and green and blue
now we have Barbie nails and it's gonna
go perfectly with this makeup now I have
my wig on and it's time to get started
with the makeup this look is going to be
really fun because it's all about having
fun and enjoying the colors which isn't
something I always do actually it's kind
of sad I like doing this I'm gonna do it
more starting with some eye drops I put
those in my eyes which just brighten and
make them look really fresh and hydrated
and now I'm going to begin on the Brows
I'm using a blonde pencil for my brows
and for those who watch my channel you
know I love to bleach the eyebrow I just
love the way it looks and today since
we're going for something much lighter
I'm gonna use a blonde brow gel as well
and it gives a little bit of color and
texture all I need to do with the
eyebrows is create symmetry so to really
emphasize what I've created I'm going to
use some concealer around the eyebrow
and clean it up make it look very sharp
I've been trying out different drugstore
foundations I'm going to use one today
and I'm using a shade that is a little
bit more light than my skin tone it's a
very medium coverage Foundation almost
full coverage so it looks really bright
but once I blend it out everything
really does suit my skin tone this is
going to give a very porcelain doll like
effect which is perfect for this look
speaking to the utility of Beauty and
Fashion again let's think about this we
always go ahead and add our concealer
and then our brows and start moving on
to the eyes and everything is about
building today we're going to just turn
it on its head because there's a
different function to doing a Barbie
style makeup look this is all about fun
and all about having fun and enjoying
what you're doing so I'm going to set
the face and have my blank canvas and
then go right in with a blush color that
I love something that's exciting and fun
and a little bit much and I'm going to
add a lot of layers to my cheeks and
then to my nose as well for a doll-like
effect then you want to pick your
jewelry this is exactly where we pause
the makeup and find some jewelry that's
really exciting for you I love these
droplet earrings they're really big and
glamorous and beautiful and so much of
the time we leave jewelry like this for
a reason you know you think of like
something where you have to dress up but
how fun is it to wear costume jewelry
because it's pretty you know you can
just wear it because it makes you happy
I'm gonna do the lips and the jewelry
and then we can move on to the rest of
the makeup
the reason why we do the lips is because
you want to be able to direct the makeup
look and not make this look costumey
where possible you know because it
really could go in that direction so I'm
gonna do the lips do the jewelry have
everything kind of set and then we can
go and detail the eyes this watermelon
color of this lip gloss is beautiful for
this look I love this formula it's
hydrating and Plumping it's got
ceramides and hyaluronic acid so it's a
very skin care like product with a lot
of pigment City beauty is having a buy
one get one free sale on their website
which is so exciting for the national
lipstick day and they have so many
different shades I love the fact that
they have the clear one they have the
sheer colors the opaques like I'm
wearing today and these are like
Plumping lip glosses but they're not
your average Plumping gloss where you
put it on and then your lips really
really burn and tingle they have all of
the skin care benefits to be able to
hydrate the skin lift the lift and give
it like a fuller looking appearance
especially with regular you can shop buy
one get one free for National lipstick
day shop the link in my description and
check out City Beauty and City lips
thank you to City Beauty for sponsoring
this portion of the video now we're
going to move on to eyes we have jewelry
lips and cheeks done so you can really
see from this point what makes you happy
but also what looks good because most of
the look is done and that way the eyes
become more of an ornament instead of a
building block for the look I'm packing
on a really light milky shade all the
way up to my crease keeping in mind that
I have an asymmetry between both eyes
one is smaller so on the smaller eye I'm
going to try to lift this color up a
little higher to create more symmetry
applying eyeshadow can be really easy
when you put a color like this down
first and since we have that concealer
underneath the eye as well as on top of
the eye everything is going to really
pop and show the true colors try a
shocking pink in your crease but do it
on the outer third of the eye I'm taking
this color and I'm swiping it right in
the brow bone area in the crease where
the brow naturally has a like definition
there and I want to just blend it really
carefully but I want that hyperactive
pink to really show even when my eyes
are open we're going to add a few little
doll details if you will because
normally I wouldn't pack a Milky color
like this on the brow bone but putting
it carefully aligned with the pupil is
going to give a brightening effect and
it's going to make it look more
barbie-esque which is beautiful
I'm taking a light but kind of deep on
my skin blue color and this looks a
little bit deep when you first pack it
on but if you layer it up you get a true
blue shade which plays really well with
pink because when you blend the two
together you get purple so this is going
to be really easy to blend and I'm going
to put this on the outer third of the
eye and blending in some of that
shocking pink to make everything more
seamless and perfect
look at it
go easy on yourself if you're a
perfectionist when it comes to eyeshadow
blending there's something very artistic
and fun about the fact that this may not
be perfect it actually literally might
look like you just had fun with your
makeup which is kind of a vibe in and of
itself you know
add some sparkle this is makeup for
serotonin this is makeup for feel good
so like add whatever you want add a star
a heart some sparkles a little diamond
or rhinestone something cute and then
we're gonna move on to eyeliner I'm
using a dark brown liner because it kind
of reads black at least on this color
scheme
I've been loving waterproof mascara it
seems to have solved my problems at
least with like flaking and transfer on
my under eyes which was like a thing for
like years I was I was just living that
way but waterproof mascara is like
really good and I'm going to top it off
with some lashes of course for doll eyes
this is a total must whether you add
little ones or spiky ones it's just
going to complete the look
look
speaking of completing the look if you
have really dark eyes and you're going
for this color scheme and you want to
brighten everything up if you have blue
eyes you don't need to do this or not
need to but it won't have the same
effect dark black eyes dark brown eyes
definitely give this a try even when
you're make like regular makeup routine
it's amazing you add a little bit of
silver to the waterline this kind of
makes up for any brightness that you
would have if you're doing a Barbie look
and you have blue eyes it gives like a
contrast with the dark brown and it
looks amazing I'm going to add a little
bit of charcoal to the upper lash line
and to the outer corner and then you
have this dimensional colorful beautiful
Barbie look this is the look complete if
you try out this look let me know how it
goes and if you try out a Barbie
inspired get ready with me even if the
colors are different enjoy and I'll see
you in my next video
