u gotta be favourite mua on yt
no wasting time, no bullshit for views, no hidden ads and always posting exactly what everyone is looking for

I just spent the last hour watching videos on contouring, and literally EVERY single video cuts so you can’t see them fully blending everything out in real time. It’s annoying bc I wanna watch how it actually blends into the skin from start to finish. You are the ONLY one to actually show everything the whole entire time you’re contouring! It makes so much sense when you’re explaining and showing it - thank you so much for being an incredible teacher! ❤❤

I read the title and said out loud “she’s about to tell me I’m doin it wrong…” 💀😂😂

[JumpCutThis]

It’s amazing how you explained this and taught me WHY I need to do certain things- I’m 56, and my daughter was the first one that said ‘NOMG mom let me do your makeup!!’ I was blown away by the amount of knowledge she had and knew exactly what to do with all of the makeup. She said ‘YouTube mom, it’s more than just documentary videos!’

Even tho you’re clearly younger than I am this single video taught me more in 10 minutes than I’d learned in decades.

Thank you.

I'm a pro artist (as in painting not makeup) and always contoured like how i'd draw/shade a face, which means doing the opposite of what many makeup tutorials tell you lol. It's pretty much all the 'do's' you just mentioned

[batsydoe]

Healthy reminder these are flattering to Alexandra’s face specifically and what looks good on one face may not look good on another! What doesn’t work for her may very well work for you, hold room for improvement but don’t feel bad if something is “wrong” for her but works for you. 💛

I love my wide African nose, and have been avoiding nose contour as I don't want to slim it much, but this helps a lot. I love seeing how different placements on different feature shapes change a whole look!

[BethaneyLilly]

Shocked at how different the sides are!
Love your new jawline placement, I feel like this might work well for me too!
Kinda insane how the “bad” side is really common placement, but it totally gives jowls and the jawline shadow created a double chin that didn’t exist before ….wild!

[callycharles]

This is the best contour tutorial I've ever seen. You are truly one talented artist!

[nsanders]

I have a very 'harsh' face, because I have very high cheekbones. if I contour too much I look like skeletor and people will ask if I'm sick. You really have to highlight your good features by doing makeup for YOUR face...when I finally learned my best angles (which parts to highlight/which parts to contour into the abyss), I started looking more polished.

[JennWatson]

I’m still a beginner at age 61 so I really appreciate you explaining WHY we’re contouring in each area- thank you!
Also, your mouth and teeth are mesmerizing as you speak 👄

[chefbbaxley]

Probably the best contour tutorial and EXPLANATION. Also, thanks for explaining it like a normal person and not condescending ❤❤❤

[eMegMBea]

I am a 45 year old woman trying to teach myself how to do my makeup. The side by side was AMAZING!!! Thanks for this great video!

[cherri]

I don't even contour - but I find your videos, and frankly your whole person, very relaxing and comforting <3

[femboytyler]

im a 22 year old femboy just learning makeup for the first time and your videos are so so helpful, i find a lot of makeup tutorials to be hard to follow and a lot of makeup youtubers just arent very clear and concise so ive put off learning out of intimidation, but you get to the point and explain things quickly and clearly, and you dont assume my face is exactly like yours, you play with the makeup in a way that really helps me understand how makeup works, thank you.

[angiepangie]

Nobody ever explains why what I'm doing is wrong. This was SOOO helpful for me thank you ❤

[ZTZTZTZTZTZT]

I have a smaller and more stubby nose so you’re “don’t” side nose contour actually works for me better (since i want to create the illusion of having a wider nose)
i hope everyone knows their facial structure and find the right techniques that work for them instead of blindly following tutorials from people who have very different facial structures from them
(I use grey ish brow pencil to do my nose contour too btw)

[triciag]

I loved how you turned your head for the first contour trick...it visually explained the where & why!

[nightingale]

i actually have quite uneven cheekbones so i actually utilize both contour techniques on my face depending on which cheekbone i want to bring up higher vs which i want to push a little lower. i also think that chin line shading works well for those who already have little buccal fat bc otherwise, it really doesnt look good on 90% of female face shapes :'')

[ellemichelle]

How you’re describing the shaping gave me a lightbulb! “Push it back in space.” Oooooh!!! 🤩
