Thisssss! No long stupid intro screaming, and no stupid outro saying, “Love you guys so much!” She just seems genuine, knowledgeable, and fucking REAL. Love her.
iGod not really😂they all had that one free back ground music and tried to be perfect all the time(Zoella, Michelle phan, Bethany mota, stillababe09)😂I swear in some of their morning routines, some of them ‘woke up with makeup’ I think you’re thinking of RUclips in like 2010/2011 when no one really cared what they posted
@@littlebloodyskirts It is tho, I hope she'll minimize that. But the way she talks in general is pretty normal which I still prefer over the other beauty gurus
So I'm not even one minute in but I just have to say I've never watched this girl before but I love the fact that she doesn't try to hide her skin texture with bright lights!
I agree. It would defeat the purpose of this video which needs to show the face shape as well. If the lights are too bright, there's no difference between cheekbone and cheek hollow. 😂
beautiful porcelain skin, jealous, for real I have scars, from bad acne growing up , I eventually found a dermatologist who prescribed Accutane for me, I had a procedure done to try to smooth the skin some, caused me to become nauseous, got home, I was walking down the hall, threw up a bit, next I fell down, I began to see yellow spots before I passed out, you are so beautiful, would like to see contouring, and highlighting video, and why is it used for those places I have never done that before, I know the nose part and why, why the forehead, why does that work, for why, keep up the good work, I've watched many tutorials, esp. before and after's
@@tracygaylor9505 Can I ask what procedure you had done that gave you that reaction? I'm looking into my options for smoothing out texture, acne scarring, pigmentation, etc and am so concerned about something like this happening to me due to my underlying health issues.
@chippi chippi so, Alex says: the blush placement will change your FACE. The viewer says: oh, I do have a FACE, I better watch this video. ;)))))))))))
If you like a more natural look you should check out Robert Welsh. He's absolutely amazing and shows you techniques that make you look great off camera as well as on.
The first placement is about giving your face color. The second placement is about shape. The second placement is more sophisticated and is a little more vampy. The first has more of a fresh, youthful look. You may prefer it when you are older. What, exactly, did you use for contour?
I used to do the higher placement but recently I've changed to the whole of my cheeks and nose as it makes me super cute, like I've been running and I am pink cheeked. ☺️
@@Mmm...yummymummy Light makeup that enhances your features and doesn’t smother them-that’s all I’m comfy with. I have a job that requires me to wear makeup, but I always go for the cleanest possible look. It’s nice to take some days off as well so the skin can breathe (and the blush all over cheeks/nose is adorable!)
I did not notice until the end, that she doesn't have background music......did you realise how interesting she is with her soft and pure, but also serious voice??!!!!
She is the best American beauty artist I've watched . I find the others so grating, self absorbed, unecesssry music, taking ages to get on with it. They are all just too much. I really like this young, beautiful mature Woman. No bull shit. Wayne Goss, is awesine, and the Lone Wolf are two very good English Make- up tutorials.
Precisely !! I think he said that because he’s so often around Jeffree Star, who is the personification of a dramatic HS girl who was mean negative and toxic...and I feel like Shane didn’t even care about makeup and just wanted to make money because Jeffree Star told him it could be super lucrative.
Shane is an ass. There are women like Alexandra’s girly talk or, the the queen herself: Michelle Phan, that are unproblematic and create actual authentic content.
Okay, you’re officially the only person I ever want to listen to on RUclips ever again. I’m so tired of fake and phoney and long winded, you are like a breath of fresh air. Also, I JUST started wearing blush and I’m now obsessed. I do place it on the apples of my cheeks on the daily because it does make me feel more playful and youthful, but I would probably change the placement if I were to ever go to a wedding or a nighttime thing again
A not self-centered beauty youtuber who also doesn't say "oh my God" every 5 minutes? oh! And a video that is less than 10 mins long that gets straight to the point? Sub!
I haaaate when beauty gurus pull out a highlighter because I know there's going to be a good two minutes of "oh my gooood *gasp* oh my God. So pretty." It's just such a performance. Alex is so chill, I love it.
The more forward blush is youthful and “ cute”, the blush that is more toward the back is vey sultry, elegant, and mature. I like both for different reasons and at different times.
Makeup Junky some people just don’t look good with blush on the cheeks and visa versa. And then there’s the lucky people that can wear it both ways and look gorgeous. I am not one of those people 😐😉
So true! No wonder I usually apply blush more on the side of my cheeks. I have a rounder face and I look pretty young for my age so I really don't like applying blush on the apples on my cheeks 😂
Super interesting!!! As a “no longer in my youth” woman I have seen makeup trends come and go. In the late 80s/early 90s we were all instructed to put our blush on the upper part of our cheekbones. Now - we hadn’t invented blending yet - so it wasn’t as pretty - but it was basically that same idea!
I've been wearing my blush like this because I have a wide as well as round face, so doing that has not only accentuated my cheekbones, but also taken off some of the wideness. Like it elongates my face instead.
I love that style I just dont know if it suits a European face structure... I have a similat bone structure to Alex and I noticed that just like she says, outside edges of the face are better to apply the blush for me... but first I apply 2 brushes of bronzer.
Burn chicken nugget, I used to like Tati only for her excessive vanity and spending because no one is as self obsessed as she is and she’s tried every product so I used to go to her for product information but basically she only promotes people who pay her now. She didn’t have the slightest of a problem with James Charles’ lifestyle until he didn’t support her product and as a grown woman she was trying to talk crap about a guy half her age and his mom.. that’s when I stopped watching her. Now everyone sees both sides and she’s loosing viewers aka money she’s suddenly “sorry” and trying to fake tears in a really awkward, pathetic way so she doesn’t seem like as huge of a bitch as she is.
@@cyntax4901 Okay I might be missing some few points but basically: the drama between James Charles and Tati blew up again now and people are suspecting it has to do with Shane and Jeffree manipulating Tati. Shane wrote a statement that he thinks James needs "a humble pie" and recorded an apology video. Shane has been accused again of being racist & ped*philia and even Jaden Smith tweeted how disgusted he is (because it involves Jaden Smith's sister). Tati recently uploaded a video of why she was mad at James in the 2019 drama, when Shane knows this, he went on live, calling her "manipulative" and that he can't believe she is saying. Though, there are many youtubers who has also been exposing Jeffree of wanting to see James fall/get cancelled. So, in my opinion what Tati said is true and makes sense that Jeffree and Shane was gaslighting her. Jeffree still remains silent as for now and I doubt he's going to say anything lol. That's all I know or remember, at least lol I hope this helps 😳 also sorry it's too long lmaoo, have a nice day🌸
This is the only makeup tutorial I haven't felt super annoyed by. Most makeup youtubers bring hardcore ugg boot Starbucks culture into their whole aesthetic and attitude lol
@@brittharmony5126 I find most American makeup videos annoying. I like the British Videos. Their voice is so much calmer and they always come across as natural down to earth Women.
I tried this technique and my plastic surgeon boss asked me if I was losing weight. He said my face look super structured. That's a WIN to me! Thank you
@@malindaalizabeth497 Well, he may legitimately been staring at her bone structure like "something changed" I know I say shit like that to people I make clothing for because I know how shit fits them and then I have to be like "oh was that rude? 😬"
When watching it on screen, the one on the left, directly under your eye makes you look more youthful/playful. Perfect brunch and shopping, and flirty makeup. The one on the right, higher on your cheekbones is more sophisticated. Its perfect for when you need people to take you seriously, like a board meeting or something.
my mental was ready for a chaotic intro with annoying background music, but she just talks casually, got straight into the point and no monotonous music. ITS SO CALM I LOVE IT
@@user-hj5io2wt3d Well people picked that up from tv shows, and it's kind of a way to ready people for the main contents of the video they're watching. Intros can be nice, but like everyone else in the comments are saying a lot of people tend to go overboard with them so it ruins the vibe
Regina Hills : “Lolly gagging”!! That’s an old school phrase that my mom used to say, and it made me think of her, and miss her. It was such a warm and happy feeling to see that word......thanks.....you made my day!
Up until very recently at the age of 34 I didn't know that I had lived my life in a state of depersonalization. Pretty severe one. I thought that's how everyone experienced life. I've been able to understand why certain things having to do with the structure and proportions of my face and body in general have been so impossible for me. I don't hate my body so I wouldn't call it body dysmorphia I guess but, I do not understand it. I use it well enough, but when it comes down to how something will fit me or what shades would look good on me, it's like there's just nothing there. I got nothing going on up there. So these videos are so incredibly helpful, thank you so so much. I don't know that when you made them you considered they would actually help people with chronic mental conditions but, here we are. I'm also on the spectrum and your calm demeanor is much appreciated. I have a hard time processing people with instructors animating into the camera like they're already at the party they're gearing up for.
Finally a MAKE UP TUTORIAL! Not someone who's blabbering about giveaways or shits to talk about before the video and only give like 30 seconds of actual tutorial 🤦🏻♀️ thanks a lot
It's good that people experiment to see what suits them the most. You can always ask a trusted friend for an opinion. Also.... straight to the point videos. No long intros or filler content for almost 7 minutes of good information. Keep it up.
Guys need a little bit of touch up too tho~ just a bit. Put a lot and you'd be called gay. Put too much and you'd be called a drag. But really there's nothing wrong with trying it out sometimes. Just a glow up and not looking like you're so stressed. XD Even using a bit of chapstick - some guys tell you it's gay, but avoiding cracked and chapped lips is better. Besides, there are girls/women who likes a man whom they can turn to and ask opinions/brainstorm with to level up their looks. So there is definitely nothing wrong with learning a bit about make ups~
Wow!!! It's amazing how simply adding a bit more closer to her under eye area changed the whole look!!! That side instantly looked like an adorable baby doll!!! So cool.
People who know what they’re doing: placing the blush here adds a certain effect to the face, and placing it here adds a completely different one! Me: reeheheehe cheeky *_PINK_*
Some makeup artist once said that there is no need to use a contour, you just need to apply the blush right. Totally truth, done this way since the beginning :)
That explains why I never liked heavy contour on my face . I love some cream blush if I contour for like a wedding it light contour all the way where she put the blush . Adds depth.
Amen haha My face cannot be contoured, like its just not possible for me. Every time I do it or someone else does it, it ends up looking bad, but I can get a similar lifted and sculpted look using blush.
This is EXACTLY how my blush journey went. I do the exact same thing, and it really makes a difference. Your face shape and eyes are very similar to mine, at first I was actually sort of weirded out by how similar we look. What is super awesome is that now there is a RUclipsr who I can get tips from that will benefit me 99% of the time! It's pretty neat. Plus you're super cool. Thanks for all the great videos!
I'm ultra fair and have mild rosacea that's almost closer to what a berry-toned blush would give and it just sort of looks like inflammation. So I cover it all up with concealer and apply a pale peachy blush a bit higher on my cheekbones, and weirdly enough it actually comes out looking more natural.
I'm 58 and have been using blush since 16. The higher placement is everything and I've always done it that way. It really does accentuate bone structure.
No drama, no rambling, no bitching, no marketing, not trying to sell us anything, just an honest, straightforward, down to earth human being. Where have you been all our lives? Much love 🥰
Just found your channel and loving it. I love how you explain that this is the way *you* like to place blush, and not necessarily THE way. It's about discovering what makeup can do to your look and adopting your own "best". Weighing the pros and cons of placement without judgement is 10/10.
I've avoided blush my whole life because it never "looked right". I just started doing what you do about a week ago and then came across this video! I feel validated lol
I appreciate that when you do these videos you don't intentionally try to make one side "bad". Just show how 2 techniques genuinely create different looks.
@@abcdefgh6951 yeah we know that hehe. Makeup is an art and enhances our already existing beauty! Makes us feel good, confident and is therapeutic for some.
Yes!! the editorial look is so nice and different from the traditional blush placement, and thats how I do it when I have a fun blush to try out. I use blush on apple of cheeks sometimes under other products because yes, youthflow glow, but also yes, can look like the focus is too much on the center of the face and loses definition. Love this video and how you encourage ppl to creatively work with the face shape they have
Also more classical. I mean, when blush came into existence it was supposed to look like you are blushing. Hence the name 😅 Nobody blushes on their cheekbones but it looks very good also.
She is an absolute beauty!! it's hard for me to even focus on why she needs make up!! I'm in my early sixties & feel like I need so much more than this, but I will practice her techniques.. Make the world a beautiful place.🌸
I used to HATE blush on myself until I started placing it in an actually flattering way (having rosy lil' cheeks and severe resting bitch face just don't mesh well man 🤔).
Same! 😂 I am also pasty white and when I apply blush, my friends tell me that I look like Lestat in Interview with a vampire: trying to fool people I am alive but actually being dead inside.
THANK YOU for being so direct, down to earth, and chill, not loud, bubbly or perky, no excessive pointless chatter. No lead in high pitched “HI GUYS!” with a massive phony grin and life story. Wow this is so incredibly refreshing. I can actually sit through this and learn without gritting my teeth. Bless.
I really like your preference area for blush - it's much edgier and "high fashion" as you said... but in a way, it also looks more like where a bruise would be found (along the bone structure), rather than an area that would naturally blush with healthy blood flow (the muscle of the cheek)... so as you said after looking at it here, I'm not sure which I would prefer, actually.
watched this isaac dude on tiktok recreate this vid almost word for word. lowkey v sick of men taking womens' content and passing it off as their own, idk just didnt sit right with me.
when she put the blush on the second way i screamed cause holy shit girl that CHEEKBONE YES. i have the same face shape so im def gonna put my blush there from now on
I have an oval face so I prefer to apply my makeup to look more “cute” and “youthful” since naturally I feel that oval faces tend to look more mature. So for me it gives me that good balance of mature/youthful.
Waterbaby Oxox yea If you have a face like that (me too) place your blush where she put hers (not the cheekbone placement) and you’ll look more younger and cuter. Doing blush like the other side gives a more chiseled, defined look but I prefer to look like those anime girls lol
I love this! I have a thin, long face with small high (barely visible) cheekbones. Learning that cheeks are not the same as cheekbones made a huge difference for me. Everyone always said to put blush on my cheeks, but it dragged my face or pulled the attention towards the center and I looked like a mime. I noticed this style works much better!
It's like you had an epiphany while applying blush this morning and immediately dropped everything to film this knowledge like "holy shit the world doesnt know what it's missing."
I remember Wayne Goss sharing this technique many moons ago. He also said that as we get older, we definitely need to keep blush to the outside perimetres only unless we want to drag our faces down... xXx 😎🖤🖤🖤
his issue with putting it on the apples of the cheek was that people apply their blush while smiling, so the face drops when not smiling. however he did echo the higher placement like makeupbyariel (?) in a different video.
@@SuShiiAeLin ruclips.net/video/QkAR4enrCW4/видео.html (This was the amazing video by Wayne Goss, I assume this is the one everbody is referring to, at least this was the life changing one for me!)
The cheek "youthful" side really reminds me of Natalie Portman, or someone who is happy and fresh from playing in the snow. The cheekbone "high-fashion" side feels more dramatic and runway model or edgy and maybe with a tiny nod to the 80s. I like both and can really see how someone's style, personality, and bone structure could determine which of the two suits them more. I love the simplicity of this video, that it focuses on simply comparing two very simple techniques and would love to see more makeup videos that simple like say 2-4 styles of lashes or something.
Bro I started to read this comment just as she was turning her face to look at the youthful side and I legit thought "oh at this angle with that blush she looks like Padmé" and then I saw that you said Natalie Portman and now I'm a little worried that you're reading my mind 😂👽
4 года назад
Exactly! I have been doing it differently depending on what I want with my makeup. If I want a more modern effect I do the "high fashion" and if I want a more dreamy/fairy tale vibe I do the youthful.
As someone who was obsessed with korean makeup in high school, and then obsessed with more mature looking makeup in my 20’s, I agree. The blush that goes on the apples of your cheek looks more cutesy and can also look beachy and natural if you use a rose colored blush and add a bit on the bridge of your nose. It looks sunkissed.
I first noticed this “technique” when I was customizing my animoji but then I thought I was hallucinating, thank you for showing me this on a real face. you just gained a subscriber
I personally do the "youthful" one, and I actually think it does that for me too, gives me a more natural rosy cheek look. Like when you’re 12 and just ran around outside, you’re winded, your dewy, life is good and the world isn’t burning to the ground
Ha, I'm 12. I just red tomato red when I run. Also life isn't good, since there's something called COVID-19! I'm sure we have a lot less problems than adults though.
I find the lower placement sofens your face making it look more natural. As thats where you would naturally blush. The higher one makes it look more strong and severe which is the look you are going for! Either way, you look great.
Here's the thing: I didn't have sisters, my mom didn't really wear makeup, my friends aren't really makeup people and the one that was was goth. So this was amazing, nice and thorough, to the point, everything was amazing and I wish I had this in high school. Thank you!
I don't get this comment, having sisters doesn't automatically mean they would of been good at makeup or even been able to teach you? 🤨 Why is does this need to be a sterotypical thing. And why would it be a mothers job to teach you makeup anyhow?
Makeup, like any art ... Practice makes perfect. The more familiar you get with makeup to better you understand the POWER of it. I am a man with 7 sisters and I self taught myself thru RUclips videos. Now i do all of my sisters makeup lol. I just follow the rules of drama. You want Insta brows, you need lashes. You do lashes you need shadow n concealer. You do concealer, you need foundation n contour You do that, might as well use lip stick.... Basically if you are gonna use makeup then USE MAKEUP! the whole 100 yards lol (I'm a Patrick Starr applier circa 2017 lol)
Yo Alex sis lets do this exercise with different things hehe. Like a vid on lip shape/lip liner, a vid on eyeshadow placement, bronzer. Like a whole series. 💖🥰
Wow, after about 10 years of watching beauty gurus on RUclips, this is one of the only things ive learnt! instantly subscribed as this quick content as changed how I will look at placing blush forever! I would love to see more videos like this showing placements, different wings for eye shapes etc, how to lift and accentuate features! so helpful! x
Hi Alex, Just discovered your channel! Thank you this video specifically helped as the demo shows WHY the placement enhances the uplift to the face. Also enhancing the cat eye, high fashion look! It helped to see the angled brush for the creme blush as I tried fingers and ended up starting over a few times. Thank you for the interesting thought process at the end. Brainstorming, creativity, thoughts out loud in transparency allows us all to remain creative with you. I admire that and appreciate that. Its so true- I can love a look in the bathroom and then go outside, check it, not love it as much. Same thing- get into the car and check it and or video chat and decide yes keeping the look or nope, not repeating it. Interesting how the camera and mirror views differ for a makeup tutorial artist, yet your honesty and transparent share help us all learn too. You GO GIRL!

The first placement is about giving your face color. The second placement is about shape. The second placement is more sophisticated and is a little more vampy. The first has more of a fresh, youthful look. You may prefer it when you are older. What, exactly, did you use for contour?
I feel like blush at the front makes a look 'younger' and more fresh faced, whereas blush on the cheekbone makes a look more elegant and 'mature'.
I agree.
I was thinking something similar. She almost looks like she is blushing for real in the first placement.
Yes definitely does!! I have this in my hacks video that a senior beauty editor told me a few years back! Helpful tip for mature skin 🙌🏼
I feel it makes it more "editorial"? Idk gives me fashion magazine vibes
Yes older ladies that use blush as a “contour” look stunning!
me, a colorblind person who sees no difference: ah, yes very good
aibha this. We the people with protanopia (red deficiency) are not very sensitive to changes in reds, so blushes are a dangerous game

Also, I JUST started wearing blush and I’m now obsessed. I do place it on the apples of my cheeks on the daily because it does make me feel more playful and youthful, but I would probably change the placement if I were to ever go to a wedding or a nighttime thing again
I love how she has this "so done with everything" aura. I can relate immensely.
Her charm
One of the reasons why I love her
Reason why I subbed!
Me too. I'm so done with always happy fake people.
That’s how we are in the n w. I keep thinking she HAS to be from here. 😂
A not self-centered beauty youtuber who also doesn't say "oh my God" every 5 minutes? oh! And a video that is less than 10 mins long that gets straight to the point? Sub!
You know how awful it is when people say “oh my god?”
I haaaate when beauty gurus pull out a highlighter because I know there's going to be a good two minutes of "oh my gooood *gasp* oh my God. So pretty." It's just such a performance. Alex is so chill, I love it.
I subbed too immediately.
@@ByCatJ 😂😂😂 💯 It be because they egotistical narcissists lol
She is probably not getting paid for this video. Apparently, you have to have 10 minutes or more to get paid.
The more forward blush is youthful and “ cute”, the blush that is more toward the back is vey sultry, elegant, and mature. I like both for different reasons and at different times.
I like the one on the apples of the cheeks way more personally.
Makeup Junky some people just don’t look good with blush on the cheeks and visa versa. And then there’s the lucky people that can wear it both ways and look gorgeous. I am not one of those people 😐😉
So true! No wonder I usually apply blush more on the side of my cheeks. I have a rounder face and I look pretty young for my age so I really don't like applying blush on the apples on my cheeks 😂
Yes, I was just thinking why pick just one when now you can have options?
@@LindaJohnson-rf7kz omg i thought i was the only one who looks awful with blush on cheeks
Super interesting!!! As a “no longer in my youth” woman I have seen makeup trends come and go. In the late 80s/early 90s we were all instructed to put our blush on the upper part of our cheekbones. Now - we hadn’t invented blending yet - so it wasn’t as pretty - but it was basically that same idea!
I've been wearing my blush like this because I have a wide as well as round face, so doing that has not only accentuated my cheekbones, but also taken off some of the wideness. Like it elongates my face instead.
3wrss3ssss444r3e4ßssss😊
E-girls cracked the code: just put blush everywhere.
Sorry, that’s no code. We all did that in the 80’s.
The New England Holiday Hostess RIGHT??
Vikings smeared blood all over their faces like 2000 years ago, so they did it first.
Get a grip. It’s just a joke.
The New England Holiday Hostess yea the only difference is y’all didn’t know how to blend blush...looking like clowns no offense.
VS M same could be said for you ...
Japanese have this style called “drunk blush” which is placed closer towards the eyes. That style does make someone look more youthful. 😊
I love the drunk blush. I think it looks cute.
I love that style I just dont know if it suits a European face structure... I have a similat bone structure to Alex and I noticed that just like she says, outside edges of the face are better to apply the blush for me... but first I apply 2 brushes of bronzer.
igari makeup not drunk blush but yes
@@koraXro idk i'm irish and my face structure works fine with igari makeup but maybe thats just me lol

I like how youtube is recommending the unproblematic youtubers during the recent tati, shane Dawson and jeffree star drama
Ah, so that explains all the cool stuff popping up. Awesome! The signal thru the noise 👍👍
What happened? Im reaaally lost in all of that controversy
Can someone explain the drama :b
Is just that the tea videos are waaaayyy to long
Burn chicken nugget, I used to like Tati only for her excessive vanity and spending because no one is as self obsessed as she is and she’s tried every product so I used to go to her for product information but basically she only promotes people who pay her now. She didn’t have the slightest of a problem with James Charles’ lifestyle until he didn’t support her product and as a grown woman she was trying to talk crap about a guy half her age and his mom.. that’s when I stopped watching her. Now everyone sees both sides and she’s loosing viewers aka money she’s suddenly “sorry” and trying to fake tears in a really awkward, pathetic way so she doesn’t seem like as huge of a bitch as she is.
@@cyntax4901 Okay I might be missing some few points but basically: the drama between James Charles and Tati blew up again now and people are suspecting it has to do with Shane and Jeffree manipulating Tati. Shane wrote a statement that he thinks James needs "a humble pie" and recorded an apology video. Shane has been accused again of being racist & ped*philia and even Jaden Smith tweeted how disgusted he is (because it involves Jaden Smith's sister). Tati recently uploaded a video of why she was mad at James in the 2019 drama, when Shane knows this, he went on live, calling her "manipulative" and that he can't believe she is saying. Though, there are many youtubers who has also been exposing Jeffree of wanting to see James fall/get cancelled. So, in my opinion what Tati said is true and makes sense that Jeffree and Shane was gaslighting her. Jeffree still remains silent as for now and I doubt he's going to say anything lol. That's all I know or remember, at least lol I hope this helps 😳 also sorry it's too long lmaoo, have a nice day🌸

When watching it on screen, the one on the left, directly under your eye makes you look more youthful/playful. Perfect brunch and shopping, and flirty makeup. The one on the right, higher on your cheekbones is more sophisticated. Its perfect for when you need people to take you seriously, like a board meeting or something.
my mental was ready for a chaotic intro with annoying background music, but she just talks casually, got straight into the point and no monotonous music. ITS SO CALM I LOVE IT
By the way, I love Raven
I just realized, why do people even add intros?
@@user-hj5io2wt3d Well people picked that up from tv shows, and it's kind of a way to ready people for the main contents of the video they're watching. Intros can be nice, but like everyone else in the comments are saying a lot of people tend to go overboard with them so it ruins the vibe

Until this one gets famous and joins the others
Up until very recently at the age of 34 I didn't know that I had lived my life in a state of depersonalization. Pretty severe one. I thought that's how everyone experienced life. I've been able to understand why certain things having to do with the structure and proportions of my face and body in general have been so impossible for me. I don't hate my body so I wouldn't call it body dysmorphia I guess but, I do not understand it. I use it well enough, but when it comes down to how something will fit me or what shades would look good on me, it's like there's just nothing there. I got nothing going on up there. So these videos are so incredibly helpful, thank you so so much. I don't know that when you made them you considered they would actually help people with chronic mental conditions but, here we are. I'm also on the spectrum and your calm demeanor is much appreciated. I have a hard time processing people with instructors animating into the camera like they're already at the party they're gearing up for.

me a guy who doesn’t use makeup:
👁👄👁 < “mom can i try your blush”
Lmao
That’s awesome!
Guys need a little bit of touch up too tho~ just a bit. Put a lot and you'd be called gay. Put too much and you'd be called a drag. But really there's nothing wrong with trying it out sometimes. Just a glow up and not looking like you're so stressed. XD Even using a bit of chapstick - some guys tell you it's gay, but avoiding cracked and chapped lips is better. Besides, there are girls/women who likes a man whom they can turn to and ask opinions/brainstorm with to level up their looks. So there is definitely nothing wrong with learning a bit about make ups~
Lol

Wow!!! It's amazing how simply adding a bit more closer to her under eye area changed the whole look!!! That side instantly looked like an adorable baby doll!!! So cool.

Some makeup artist once said that there is no need to use a contour, you just need to apply the blush right. Totally truth, done this way since the beginning :)
I 100% stand by that, I have a diamond shaped face and doing contour in that area is not a cute look
That explains why I never liked heavy contour on my face . I love some cream blush if I contour for like a wedding it light contour all the way where she put the blush . Adds depth.
Amen haha
My face cannot be contoured, like its just not possible for me. Every time I do it or someone else does it, it ends up looking bad, but I can get a similar lifted and sculpted look using blush.
Old movie stars like Marylin Monroe would use blush the same way some people use contour today
@@belalugosisdead4444 diamond face shape as well & I never contour. Just blush like she did on the right.
i absolutely love how she explains, calm and straight to the point
she is kinda like Ellen.
@@eduardochavacano ellen who? Ellen Degenerate?
This is EXACTLY how my blush journey went. I do the exact same thing, and it really makes a difference. Your face shape and eyes are very similar to mine, at first I was actually sort of weirded out by how similar we look. What is super awesome is that now there is a RUclipsr who I can get tips from that will benefit me 99% of the time! It's pretty neat. Plus you're super cool. Thanks for all the great videos!
i like my blush like “is she shy? or is it rosacea?”
which is ironic cause i do have a little rosacea
me too 😭
Haha
My cheeks are so pink naturally that I don't even need to wear blush.
I'm ultra fair and have mild rosacea that's almost closer to what a berry-toned blush would give and it just sort of looks like inflammation. So I cover it all up with concealer and apply a pale peachy blush a bit higher on my cheekbones, and weirdly enough it actually comes out looking more natural.
I have RF

Just found your channel and loving it. I love how you explain that this is the way *you* like to place blush, and not necessarily THE way. It's about discovering what makeup can do to your look and adopting your own "best". Weighing the pros and cons of placement without judgement is 10/10.
I love the fact that there’s no background annoying music. It makes it so interesting to watch till the end and calm. Love it 😍🌷
Yes. I didn’t even realize it but the lack of overstimulation is so welcome
I’m so tired I’d sound effects and crap! I love these calm informative videos, she’s amazeballs 😍
I've avoided blush my whole life because it never "looked right". I just started doing what you do about a week ago and then came across this video! I feel validated lol
Same here, my face looks so chubby for some reason so I always have to tone it down or contour this make my face look more even so I gave up on it lol
Are you me? Seriously, I tried this placement for the first time about a week ago for a job interview 😅
I appreciate that when you do these videos you don't intentionally try to make one side "bad". Just show how 2 techniques genuinely create different looks.

Yes!! the editorial look is so nice and different from the traditional blush placement, and thats how I do it when I have a fun blush to try out. I use blush on apple of cheeks sometimes under other products because yes, youthflow glow, but also yes, can look like the focus is too much on the center of the face and loses definition. Love this video and how you encourage ppl to creatively work with the face shape they have

No joke, the higher/lifted side is how my mom taught me to apply blush when I first asked her about it. In the late 80s.
same!
It really is an 80s look. Many even bring it up to the side of their brows.
Mine too.
I took a makeup class and that what they told me to do: put blush on my cheekbone
My Mom was an anti makeup hippie BUT this is how my Grandma taught me too
The cheekbone version is more American style . The one in the center is more like a Korean Japanese drunk blush which is more fresh
Also more classical. I mean, when blush came into existence it was supposed to look like you are blushing. Hence the name 😅
Nobody blushes on their cheekbones but it looks very good also.

Meredith R underrated comment
I really like your preference area for blush - it's much edgier and "high fashion" as you said... but in a way, it also looks more like where a bruise would be found (along the bone structure), rather than an area that would naturally blush with healthy blood flow (the muscle of the cheek)... so as you said after looking at it here, I'm not sure which I would prefer, actually.
watched this isaac dude on tiktok recreate this vid almost word for word. lowkey v sick of men taking womens' content and passing it off as their own, idk just didnt sit right with me.
wait what’s their @?
Wayne Goss has been saying to put blush on like this for many years. I got the idea from him. Definitely has a lifting flattering effect for sure.
Tf that's so creepy and disgusting. Ew🤢
@@linneasimchah1621 yeah I've been doing my blush like this because of Wayne Goss, such a master of make up💙

Yes! I was trying to pinpoint exactly what it was!! No background music!
when she put the blush on the second way i screamed cause holy shit girl that CHEEKBONE YES. i have the same face shape so im def gonna put my blush there from now on

Exactly, yes. That's the cheekbone I've been chasing
Me too!
I screamed too! because I really don't know how to put blush! I'm going to practice
I love her already no intro, straight to the point, subscribed.
This was just like 'my friend who is really good at makeup is teaching me how to make my blush better' and I am here for it
I have an oval face so I prefer to apply my makeup to look more “cute” and “youthful” since naturally I feel that oval faces tend to look more mature. So for me it gives me that good balance of mature/youthful.
Waterbaby Oxox yea If you have a face like that (me too) place your blush where she put hers (not the cheekbone placement) and you’ll look more younger and cuter. Doing blush like the other side gives a more chiseled, defined look but I prefer to look like those anime girls lol
I have an oval face too, but I highly prefer cheekbone blush since I already look very young and childish
I have an oval face shape also and I find I always look “cute” with my makeup aha
I love this! I have a thin, long face with small high (barely visible) cheekbones. Learning that cheeks are not the same as cheekbones made a huge difference for me. Everyone always said to put blush on my cheeks, but it dragged my face or pulled the attention towards the center and I looked like a mime. I noticed this style works much better!
It's like you had an epiphany while applying blush this morning and immediately dropped everything to film this knowledge like "holy shit the world doesnt know what it's missing."
big mood
Wayne Goss has a great video on how to place blush for your face shape & cheekbones
I remember Wayne Goss sharing this technique many moons ago. He also said that as we get older, we definitely need to keep blush to the outside perimetres only unless we want to drag our faces down... xXx 😎🖤🖤🖤
his issue with putting it on the apples of the cheek was that people apply their blush while smiling, so the face drops when not smiling. however he did echo the higher placement like makeupbyariel (?) in a different video.
As soon as he released that video - never had an issue with blush ever again. Game changer
That video changed my life
ana'cee Do you know which video specifically from wayne goss? I would love to watch
@@SuShiiAeLin ruclips.net/video/QkAR4enrCW4/видео.html
(This was the amazing video by Wayne Goss, I assume this is the one everbody is referring to, at least this was the life changing one for me!)
I usually hate it, but this actually makes me WANT to wear blush.
I finally figured it out: the lower blush application makes your face look wider, the higher application makes it look narrower.
yes. I notice immediately that her face looked slimmer with the blush higher up/
My face is already long and narrow so don’t wanna do that then lol
I like the lower blush, looks more young and cute
That’s how they wore blush in the 80s, except they didn’t blend their makeup back then
Hbb1406 yeah blush draping!
The cheek "youthful" side really reminds me of Natalie Portman, or someone who is happy and fresh from playing in the snow. The cheekbone "high-fashion" side feels more dramatic and runway model or edgy and maybe with a tiny nod to the 80s.
I like both and can really see how someone's style, personality, and bone structure could determine which of the two suits them more.
I love the simplicity of this video, that it focuses on simply comparing two very simple techniques and would love to see more makeup videos that simple like say 2-4 styles of lashes or something.
Bro I started to read this comment just as she was turning her face to look at the youthful side and I legit thought "oh at this angle with that blush she looks like Padmé" and then I saw that you said Natalie Portman and now I'm a little worried that you're reading my mind 😂👽
Exactly! I have been doing it differently depending on what I want with my makeup. If I want a more modern effect I do the "high fashion" and if I want a more dreamy/fairy tale vibe I do the youthful.
While the other part of the beauty community is going down let’s learn about actual helpful stuff
Yeah, agree! Also, the quality of this video is great. Wonder which camera she uses?
As someone who was obsessed with korean makeup in high school, and then obsessed with more mature looking makeup in my 20’s, I agree. The blush that goes on the apples of your cheek looks more cutesy and can also look beachy and natural if you use a rose colored blush and add a bit on the bridge of your nose. It looks sunkissed.
it does, supposed to to look like you've been sin kissed
I first noticed this “technique” when I was customizing my animoji but then I thought I was hallucinating, thank you for showing me this on a real face. you just gained a subscriber

ME TOO I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT LMAO
I love how straightforward you are
SUCH👏 A 👏QUEEN 👏
😭🙏🏼❤️
I personally do the "youthful" one, and I actually think it does that for me too, gives me a more natural rosy cheek look. Like when you’re 12 and just ran around outside, you’re winded, your dewy, life is good and the world isn’t burning to the ground
Ha!
Ha, I'm 12. I just red tomato red when I run. Also life isn't good, since there's something called COVID-19! I'm sure we have a lot less problems than adults though.
I can see that in your pic! Does look really nice, love it. It’s what I often do too, but I this other look is prob best for very formal events.
wqfflesyrup Enjoy your childhood. It goes by so fast. Freedom is nice but bills and working ain't, lmao.
Pre-k4 Spring 2020 thank you !!
I find the lower placement sofens your face making it look more natural. As thats where you would naturally blush. The higher one makes it look more strong and severe which is the look you are going for! Either way, you look great.
Here's the thing: I didn't have sisters, my mom didn't really wear makeup, my friends aren't really makeup people and the one that was was goth. So this was amazing, nice and thorough, to the point, everything was amazing and I wish I had this in high school. Thank you!
Me too. Except throw in hippieish parents. I really wish I knew this before.
I don't get this comment, having sisters doesn't automatically mean they would of been good at makeup or even been able to teach you? 🤨 Why is does this need to be a sterotypical thing. And why would it be a mothers job to teach you makeup anyhow?
Makeup, like any art ... Practice makes perfect.
The more familiar you get with makeup to better you understand the POWER of it.
I am a man with 7 sisters and I self taught myself thru RUclips videos.
Now i do all of my sisters makeup lol.
I just follow the rules of drama.
You want Insta brows, you need lashes.
You do lashes you need shadow n concealer.
You do concealer, you need foundation n contour
You do that, might as well use lip stick....
Basically if you are gonna use makeup then USE MAKEUP! the whole 100 yards lol
(I'm a Patrick Starr applier circa 2017 lol)

I have been saying this for years. Blush placement, Bronzer placement and highlighter placement is the key for AMAZING CHEEKBONES
TRUTH 🙌🏼
Whats your bronzer tip :)?
If you sweep a little blush from the arch of your eyebrows diagonally towards your hairline, it adds even more subtle cat-eye angling.
Me: puts blush all over my face like foundation
I do that with pink highlighter.

Wow, after about 10 years of watching beauty gurus on RUclips, this is one of the only things ive learnt! instantly subscribed as this quick content as changed how I will look at placing blush forever! I would love to see more videos like this showing placements, different wings for eye shapes etc, how to lift and accentuate features! so helpful! x
Iiterally! crazy tutorials are all good & fun but I’m over here like how do I eyeliner still lmao
Hi Alex, Just discovered your channel! Thank you this video specifically helped as the demo shows WHY the placement enhances the uplift to the face. Also enhancing the cat eye, high fashion look! It helped to see the angled brush for the creme blush as I tried fingers and ended up starting over a few times. Thank you for the interesting thought process at the end. Brainstorming, creativity, thoughts out loud in transparency allows us all to remain creative with you. I admire that and appreciate that. Its so true- I can love a look in the bathroom and then go outside, check it, not love it as much. Same thing- get into the car and check it and or video chat and decide yes keeping the look or nope, not repeating it. Interesting how the camera and mirror views differ for a makeup tutorial artist, yet your honesty and transparent share help us all learn too. You GO GIRL!
It's so rare to find a beauty RUclipsr who doesn't YELL and actually gets on with the video rather than wittering on! You seem very genuine. Subscribed 🥳
