Absolutely. Ever since I turned about 38 I noticed I was losing my eyebrows. I'm 41 now and started using minoxidil a couple months ago and they are now slowly coming back. Not having brows really make you look so much older!
@AlexandraAnele I really love watching your so amazing iv never been able to do my makeup. I'm trying to learn from watching you on how to do my eyebrow and eyeshadow to brushes 😩 I'm getting so frustrated with it
TY, seriously...nice being able to watch a tutorial on this versus being emotionally jerked around after asking. Especially after gaining a little bit of courage and self confidence.
Omg that brush at 4:20! What IS that? Gorgeous. NEED! Also, I needed this tutorial for Halloween, literally never seen one better on this technique. You’re our tutorial queen!
AMAZING TUTORIAL! I love the fact that u make fast pacing videos that cover an specific matter! Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with full make up tutorials but with you I can find exactly what I need
Thank you!!! I've been watching brow blocking tutorials and I've found some good ones, but I love your tutorials the most because you never shy away from talking about the things that have tripped you up before, and you don't rush through explaining what is probably very basic knowledge (but I've never been able to successfully do this, so I need the BASIC basics, haha). I always feel much more confident after your tutorials, and I cannot wait to attempt this now - just in time to level up my halloween look.
I really like using spirit gum instead of Elmer’s glue. When I tried Elmer’s glue it ended up peeling off my face after a short time (not sure if it reacted to makeup on top or just skin oils) Spirit gum is made for use on skin and stays on really well! Plus dries down way faster. The only downside is you need some oil based makeup remover to take it off
If you have a brow lamination done they are much more moldable due to the perm solution whereas you'll probably loose more hair trying this if you've not had it done
im going to be rewatching this multiple times whenever i do this because truly prior to this video existing ive considered just shaving my eyebrows 💀 thank you 💝
@AlexandraAnele I just wanna take a second and say thank you for this tutorial on brow blocking. Alex you are truly talented and you’re tutorials always brighten my day.
Can you please make a video on shaping your eyebrows to be the most flattering? I have a square jaw and big but slightly hooded eyes and a lower brow bone. i never know if i should pluck to arch more or do an Audrey hepburn type look. Thanks! ❤
yesss! just in time.. I just picked up a bunch of sfx supplies yesterday and I can't wait to get weird with it 😈 I also can't wait to see the look you did afterwards!!! AAHHHH 🤗
Omg good video of how to cover your brows! I shaved my eyebrows before so I can be able to reshape them however I want but now I can just do this instead 😂 thank you!! Lots of love! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Alex, would you please consider doing a complete cool tutorial using pinks and taupes? My undertone is fair with redness on the nose as cheeks. I’ve always worn the wrong colours for my skin tone, and I’d love to see an example of the pinks and taupes with a cool lipstick colour and concealer that compliments the whole look. I’m 63 with deep set brown eyes, silver front section of my long dark brown hair. I’d be so very grateful to see a tutorial on this please. Thanks so much lovely. 💄🇦🇺🦘
Most post menopausal ladies know the no eyebrow look very well. Over the past 3 years most of mine have just fallen out and eyelashes. Its a complete work of art everytime i put my make uo on now. 😢
Perfect timing for Halloween! Alex have you ever talked about your nails and what you ask for/what your tech does? They are always so satisfyingly clean and thin.
This is basically me with no makeup since I seriously have no brows to begin with. People think I shave my brows but I do not Now fill them back in! Lol
All that work you did... and you got what I look like after I wash my face. I have almost no brows at all... a few white hairs near the nose, and nothing beyond that. I have to draw mine on every morning. So... be glad you're doing this just for fun. It's not fun in real life! I would kill for lovely eyebrows like you have, Alex. Ah well....
DUUUUUUDE!!! You would look ADORABLE with tiny, thin little 1930s brows!!! OMG!! YOU GOTTA DO A "Columbia from Rocky Horror Picture Show" look, or for your full-on Halloween costume!!!! You'd be perfect for it. Or, vice versa! You'd have to use a little temporary dye to make your hair copper... BUT! You cooouuuld completely SATURATE your hair with a super thick, heavy, deep conditioner. Comb that shiz through, to block the shade from getting into your cuticle. Blowdry. Then, add a ton of strong-set gel, because her hair is slicked down hard anyway. Comb into the style, and dry to set it. *Then* spray or paint on a rinse-out copper-red colour. It wouldn't be as rich in pigment, but it also won't stain your hair! You could be like, "I'm giving Columbia an update! We're going light-copper (or) peach!" Or wherever. You could go all the way, and preschedule an appointment with your stylist for the next day to get a tint-renover/bleach shampoo (it's NOT as terrifying as it sounds!! Lightener, plus 1pt developer.. probably 10 or 15vol, and 1part clarifying shampoo.) Maybe get a deep conditioning treatment, while you're at it? I digress; you'd slay as Columbia!!! Maybe for next year.
Fun, can't wait to see what you do in the next video. Can you review the new ABH mini eyeshadow palettes in the 9-pan. The layout reminds me of Huda's. Just interested to know if they are the same formula & how it performs. Or is it just re-packaged & modified in a "fresh" look. 🧡💚💜
Ugh, perfect timing for Halloween! Crazy how I am now trying to find a costume that revolves around not having eyebrows or an eyebrow change lol thank you Alex! 😂
I like this, but I think people should steer clear of any water based makeup in that area, glue sticks are water soluble so I recommend silicone or wax based products!!!
This was so helpful!! Im goth and hope to have a career in acting/music, so i wanted to learn how to block out my brows for stage makeup and more experimental makeup looks.. but to anyone attempting this: you will probably not look as good as she does, i saw my reflection and got scared 😭😭😭
I so enjoyed watching this video. You still look gorgeous even without brows. I am guessing you're going to do a halloween makeup look. I hope so. 😊 I always love watching your videos. And seeing ones like this , sooooo cool. Luv ya 💜🖤💜
today i learned that the whole reason i couldn't do this right was because i needed the specific purple glue stick from elmers and NOT just ANY glue stick thank you
stop it you're making me miss having mine shaved, i ended up growing mine back but as per my profile pic i loved having thin purple ones to match my hair
I cannot believe you put glue on your face just to make a video for us! Lol. You're a trooper. Half joking, but wouldn't it have been easier just to shave the brows 😂😂
The whole video something was niggling in the back in my mind: on the last frames it came to me! Without your brows you remind me of Columbia from The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Hi Alexandra, Im taking a social media break rn so I can't comment this on your insta so I hope you see this comment. Could you by any chance make a video on lipstick shades that are appealing to different skin undertones? I have neutral undertones but a PEACHY neutral undertone. Whenever I wear "nude" lipstick or lipgloss, it just blends in with my skin color and undertone and it ends up making my skin undertone similar to clay?? 😅 I'm not sure how else to describe it, it really washes my skin color out. With fall here and winter coming up, we all know they're the season for bold lippies and id love to not be intimidated by actual lipstick/lip-glosses colors rather than just wearing clear lipgloss all the time. I hope this makes sense, thank you❤
I block my eyebrows exactly the same as but I have one problem with it. The blocked eyebrows' spot is a little bit shiny and smooth (the texture is different that skin) so if I want to put eyeshadows on top - they won't stick 😩
I’ve seen a few videos of people putting the glue *on* their eyebrows, but not washing it *off* Admittedly, that would make a weird video! But I’m guessing the glue comes off with your average makeup remover? Without removing the actual eyebrow hairs along with it? 😰
THANK YOU! so would you say it’s manageable to put a colored face paint or something over all that concealer and powder? i’m going to be covering my brows with green and i’m not sure if i should heavily conceal after gluing them down, or just go in with powder and then the green
You’ll probably want to conceal. But the paint might act a little differently in that area, usually it’ll just look more opaque and you’ll have to build up the face paint more around it so it matches. If it’s good quality paint tho you should be able to make it work!
Dude, brows literally change your entire face.😯
Absolutely. Ever since I turned about 38 I noticed I was losing my eyebrows. I'm 41 now and started using minoxidil a couple months ago and they are now slowly coming back. Not having brows really make you look so much older!

The way I screamed internally! I’ve been working on my brow blocking and I’m so excited for your tips!! Love your stuff Alex!!
Hope this helps! 💜

Please could you help 🙏
Dude, I’m going through chemo and just lost my brows.. Am kind of loving the no brow look atm. You look great ❤
Just to say I hope everything goes well for you!
❤
ahhh rooting for you! 💗💗
Hope you regain your health soon!
As someone who's gone through the same and is now out on the other side; you've got this!! It is temporary and you'll get through it! Xx
DUDE. thank you!!! usually tuts for blocking are 40 mins long or not long enough. I NEEDED an Alex version
🙌🏼 Glad I hit the right ratio 😂
TY, seriously...nice being able to watch a tutorial on this versus being emotionally jerked around after asking. Especially after gaining a little bit of courage and self confidence.
I literally tried blocking my brows for the first time like 2 weeks ago and only just find this video ughhh whyyy 😫
Omg that brush at 4:20! What IS that? Gorgeous. NEED! Also, I needed this tutorial for Halloween, literally never seen one better on this technique. You’re our tutorial queen!
It was from the Amor Y Mariposa collection from Melt cosmetics
@@audreywinningham3821 thank you!
We also get a somewhat terrifying thumbnail😂🤣😂 kidding, I love you! This is really awesome, thanks!
Marketing genius
Jeez the rolled eyes and no brows in the thumbnail scared the fuck out of me 😂

IDK how you can put them thru this much abuse and not lose a bunch of brow hairs in random places 💀💀 Mine could never

Yes! I can’t explain to you the excitement I feel about this video. I’ve always wanted to try this to challenge myself with a new skill

😩 Thank you love!
@@AlexandraAnele OMG thank you so much for responding 💙💙💙
The purple elmers are the best for crafts too. I have so many in office art supplies. Love learning from your videos. I'm so excited for Halloween.
I had no idea what this was called so thank you for this and the in-depth tutorial!! This was great!
first time blocking my brows.
The gluestick is a must and so is colour correcting and patience!
Thank you for this easy to follow video :)

wow, thank you Alexandra for this video
Ugh, perfect timing for Halloween! Crazy how I am now trying to find a costume that revolves around not having eyebrows or an eyebrow change lol thank you Alex! 😂

Made me think of Vermeer's - Girl with a Pearl Earring. 💜
Love the thumbnail haha
What brushes are you using? I love how they look
Ok I never comment twice but I literally died laughing after the glue was placed and spanked into place… talk about scared straight😂
Ms. Alex. Oh my goodness, you look like The Mona Lisa.☺️
My 18 y/o shaved them off and is constantly having to upkeep..ur version seems simpler lmao❤❤😂
this is super useful thank you for sharing !

Bro… use a peachy Madeline super stay liquid lipstick as color corrector… super full coverage and WILL NOT MOVE, you’re welcome 🫲🏼
Do you mean Maybelline?
omg So I need that spatula and that powder
Dude, those nails! I’m having nail envy. ❤

Hi Alex! Love you. Hope you are having a wonderful day ❤
happy halloween again Im watching this before I practice Divine😈✨
I love this, it’s so helpful! Thank you!! ❤
I’ve blocked my brows before and it’s insane how brows change the face but I guess I can’t do it too often because my skin started to get irritated 😖😭
We don’t have Elmer’s purple glue in India , just plain old white one :(
stop it you're making me miss having mine shaved, i ended up growing mine back but as per my profile pic i loved having thin purple ones to match my hair
Great tutorial!! ❤
I don’t need this tutorial, but the thumbnail - I caaaan’t 🤣 Dropped by to tell you this, bye

Thank you for this. 😁👍🏻
I don't have purple glue and no where near me sells it. Using white. Wish me luck! lol.
The demented thumbnail 😂
That thumbnail is scary.
Very cool! Thanks!!
What am I doing wrong? My brows peel after the glue dries
for the first round of powder does it have to be a wedge or can i use a brush
I’ve seen a few videos of people putting the glue *on* their eyebrows, but not washing it *off*
Admittedly, that would make a weird video! But I’m guessing the glue comes off with your average makeup remover? Without removing the actual eyebrow hairs along with it? 😰

Hiya Alex your so awesome with makeup im really frustrated with blending my eyeshadow to what brushes i should use please could you help me 😢
Great tutorial!
That’s cool! 👀

Loooveee ur videos!! Off topic but plzz can u tell me what camera and lens u use for ur videos? Plzzz
Question:
What Givenchy powder did you use? Is it a corrective blend?
You have beautiful skin
Fuck that thumbnail scared the shit out of me😂
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMFG
For some reason the glue always clumps and i can still see the outline of my brow hairs through the makeup
