🙋🏼 ABOUT ME: Hi guys! My name is Alyona. I was born in Russia. I'm a musician. And I love art, makeup, fashion, style and beautiful environments. I love playing with makeup and fashion, but at the same time, I’m quite a minimalistic person. I don't like the idea of being fixated on the body too much. I have an alternative and unconventional viewpoint on beauty, the body types and face shapes. I love helping other women find their "it" and finally discover their beauty and boost their confidence.
I have several series on my channel that you might be interested in such as: Body Types, Contouring, Makeup History and Makeup Transformations. Also some random beauty hacks about skin care, hair, nails and beauty in general.
Love x x x

I would love a video on how to do ‘glam’ makeup on a soft classic
I am a soft classic and now I understand why I alleyways felt something was wrong when I have heavy makeup, specially for the eyeshadow. First I thought to being a soft classic is boring but now I had realise how elegant this style is and how much you can stand out because of that
Johanna you're so right. I actually felt the same way in the beginning but now I found that I just have to use a little to look amazing as well
omg me too
I thought I just had the wrong products nope
I'm a romantic and I had an emo phase, I totally understand the "too heavy" make up problem. Soft blended lines just look so much better
Same
Lol explains why everytime I try to emulate Instagram makeup, I end up looking like a drag queen. I can't even wear black eyeliner, everything has to have soft tones or my face would look OTT and over done. Even a red lip with brown eyeshadow and liner on me can look like I'm trying too hard.
OMG TOTALLY. I could have written this
yessss same! the line between looking perfect and looking like a clown is just so thin for classics.
Yes! My face can't carry much makeup either, so it's very easy to overdo it. I find it so frustrating though because being part Asian, my eyes are fairly small, but when I try to make them look bigger the makeup seems to drown me.
I do coloured eyelines, it looks very cute. When I use eyeshadows don't use black eyeliner, only blended dusty colours, not black, waterline and mascara. And nude lips. It looks softer, but coloured enough, a bit retro or dramatic.
me too
But I love sparkle and glitter and dramatic smokey eyes... *cries in Soft Classic*
Hahhaha ughh the struggle of loving heavy makeup
k d1122 yesss it looks good in a soft black brown Smokey eye if you add just a tiny small amount of glitter
Sparkle and glitter does looks amazing. But has to be blended af.
KaibaCorp but still at the same time super precise -.-
Me too sis😭
I feel so good in my own skin now that I understood I'm soft classic. I always felt like I was trying really hard be someone else... and we all are beautiful, there's something in everyone that should be valued. Makeup, hair, look, all of this should be accessory of yours, not the center. You wear things, not the other way around. 🥰🥰
Can I take this as a sign to never wear makeup? Adding makeup to the face sounds tough and complicated.
@@anjalisingh-bh1gi you're free to never do, if you feel better that way 🥰
I was always feeling that smth is off when I am trying to apply the eyeshadow with some glitter in it. Instead of making me looking fresh and radiant it looks almost vulgar even if the colors are not very bright or dark... Now I know why :)
Funny how I was such a minimalist with my make-up, and my kids were like... Mom - you always use that brown eyeshedow 😄🙈 add some colors... and just does not work on my face- or instagram trends, shimmery stuff, fals lashes, crazy lines and colors...
matt skin, some blush, nice brows, lips in some natural color, and some mascara on eyes. Feeling like ME. And I love all the other styles on ladies that have the bone structure to wear it. Love the diferences and the beauty of all of Us. ❤️
So thats mean we have to stick with one makeup 😢
Meriem mimi I believe we can have fun if we want to... but i really love it classic. It is such a deag queen look for me to have a lot going on...
Combination of yin and yang
Lighter contour circular motion
Neat brows
Elongating mascara
Dusty pink lips dont over line
Matte shadow on crease
Dark grey eyeshadow as eyeliner
Using same face products on the eyes is perfect for soft classic (bronzer as transition shade, soft blush or highlighter on the lid) and lipstick that matches the lips and/or the blush
I am soft classic and have a very hard time with eye makeup 'cause nowadays with instagram and bold eyebrows,everything looks heavy and clownish on me. My eyelids are hooded and my eyebrows heavy, so i found this advice very helpful and i confirmed some things i already do right. I also love to play with hair color, but the brighter the hair, the more minimal my makeup has to become 🤷 , though i dont mind cause i prefer to have clean skin anyway (i focus alot on skincare). Thank you for this video! I've actually been waiting for it 😅
I have hooded eyes too!! My #1 tip (might have been from ally tbh) is to use eyeliner in the upper waterline and not on top. Don't waste your lid space. The outer crease is a really fun area too to add some tones if you want (warm tones, pink tones to match your look) since they will always be quite subtle anyways. Wispier eyelashes > thick falsies.
I think highlighting the brow bone and arching your eyebrows more can help with the heavy brows if you feel like it's too much for your look but heavy brows can be really playful too.
On the bright side, you can save money and time not spending time doing elaborate eyeshadow looks and instead focus on your skin care and overall makeup.
@@paigec5017 Thank you! It never occurred to me to do the upper waterline cause i have sensitive eyes, but if i find the right product i think it could work 😁 I have done bigger arches on my eyebrows and i agree it helps, is just a bit more grooming to do 😛. I definitely own more skincare products than makeup so i do save there hehe
I have hooded eyes and heavy brows too. Honestly, it's been a long time since I've bothered much with eye shadow at all! Just defined lashes and well-groomed, slightly filled brows (maybe thin, thin liner) is a better eye look for me. I like to focus more on bright and bold lip colors if I'm in the mood for bolder makeup.
@@paigec5017 Great tips! Arching my brows definitely helped me tons, and nailing down the right skincare routine helps even more.
@@stretchopotomus2385 All the yes 😁 I do use eyeshadows when i want to look more dressed up but literally as a shadow and highlight, i dont do bright colours or looks and eyeliner i use mostly on the corner of my eye and thats already alot for an everyday look for me lol
I am soft classic, would love to see how we can incorporate other pieces from other body types without looking overdone
Maybe adding ir in just one place and balancing. For example, if you use a more shimmery, defined and strong cat/smokey eye, balance it with a muted red lipstic, and a muted blush as well, so it looks clean, but in the same intensity. Do contour as always, well blended, and You should be ok :3 i've done that for parties and as long as you keep a balance it'll look amazing.
I hope this helped.
You can download the spreadsheet of kibbe that aly uploaded. It has recommendations on coothes/hair, makeup.. Some of the styles overlap 🤷♀️
@@naninuna7440 Thanks for the tip found a few weeks ago i am really a SN but this still helps.
Love Marion Cotillard on Inception, the hairdo, the gown, the makeup. She’s the ultimate SC for me!
I'm a soft classic and I love a high contrast look. Really dark hair, pale face and animated makeup(strong eyeliner or bright lips). That kind of aesthetic looks best on me. :)
Same! 😀
If you look good in a high contrast look, then rock the hell out of it!! 😅❤
Matte or satin eyeshadows alway look best...but I love shimmer! Haha. I prefer a dusty rose look on eyes and lips, no bronzer or contour, and a pretty pinky peach blush.
this video just completely validated me!! my signature look is red lipstick, full eyebrows, and long and thick eyelashes. very simple, but I've always felt like I should wear more makeup like other people, even though I always gravitate to this bc I feel so confident - now I know why! I have big eyes and thick eyebrows, so wearing red lipstick balances out my face by drawing attention to the bottom half. I've found the perfect shade as well so I don't feel the need for concealer or anything. this video really explains why heavy makeup doesn't suit me, I always see my friends wearing it at parties and they encourage me to do it too, since it's out of my comfort zone, but it never makes me feel 100%. thank you for explaining why!
The elegance is such a subtile thing in the SC and so rare as well. This video is so helpful to realize the elegance of the SC and hold on to it. Men do notice it. It's this " je ne sais quoi" that is not even speakable, and yet so charismatic... Very rare in the US, so hold on to it ladies.
That's nice to read that
No wonder I always look so strange when I wear false eyelashes or too much mascara!!! I only just began to realize that I look so much better with just a slight amount of mascara and do shaded eyes with brown eye shadow with a little blush and good eyebrows. This makes so much sense it’s crazy!!! Thanks Aly! ❤️
That’s why when I do more natural and dewy makeup, I look more beautiful. I love doing different types of makeup so sometimes when I try a dramatic or glamorous look, my face looks kinda clownish. Tysm for making this videos, theses videos are helping me to love myself and be the better version of myself ❤️
oh my fucking god. this revolutionizes everything. now i finally know why i look like a troon when trying to do dramatic winged eyeliner. i love you mr kibbe
It is genious to me how all of this is true. I believe I am soft classic. And everything from clothes to hair and make up is so important. Thank you for this series. I am loving every video.
This is definitely me and my look. I wear light, classic makeup: natural, radiant foundation and powder, mascara (I have long, naturally curled eyelashes), eyeliner (tightlining is key!) and a red or nude pink-beige lip. If I wear blush, I find it looks better if it is a cream blush and I apply it under either my foundation or finishing powder. It has to really look like a natural flush instead of a flashing sign that I'm wearing blush. Ditto for highlighter: under powder or foundation.
You are genius. I am a gamine and I was blending blending blending my eyeshadow and just as you said I looked tired all the time. I just couldn't figure it out until I discovered you. Now I keep things very well defined and rounded and thick clumpy lashes. I am me again thank you!!!
Well, I am a Soft Classic and I wasn't doing good at all 😅 I think it's because I always tried to "defy" my body type which is for me the most "boring" (meaning that we can't try a lot of things as we must be minimalistic) and not memorable, even when I look celebrities. I always had compliments when I wore soft gamine clothes (which is my favorite body type with Romantic) but it was for my clothes, not for me. I will try your tips, who knows, maybe I will finally start to assume my body type ❤️
@@blueberry4345 Glad we are in the same case!
same! especially since i am petite 5'2" i gravitated to soft gamine which made me look comical
I am a soft classic and I agree with everything you said. Nothing that is too much in any way looks good. Thin line between the lashes like eyeliner but veryyy thin looks great always. Also if you want to add that red or purple or blue or any very bright colour add it exactly above your pupil and blend it evenly on the sides it won't look over the top but will add interesting twist to your makeup
I havent been Sure but now I am, that I'm soft classic. Ever thing you Tell about them fits to me, especially with make up.
omg the dusty purple color it's exactly correct. buon fresco and antique bronze in the modern renaissance abh palette work really, really well for a soft classic smokey eye. instead of winged liner, use tape to mask off a wing shape before you do your eyeshadow, or using some concealer on your finger or a concealer brush to cut the "line" back in running it from your outer corner towards your temple, and then softening it by dabbing at where the color meets concealer with your finger. I get so many compliments on that sort of look as a soft classic.
Aly, you are the true representation of a makeup ARTIST!
thank you for this, as I'm sure that I am a soft classic a lot of what you've shared would make sense for me and the way I like to do my makeup. I feel like my makeup always needs to be neat and a lot of bright colours instantly looks too much on me.
As a soft classic the less is the best, I like natural or nude lipstick, natural eyebrows and thick eyeliner with a pen kohl that I bland good and I don't get out of my eyes don't go out of my eye, a mascara not heavy just to make my lashes tall , that's all the best what looks good on me ☺
I had the doubt I could be a soft classic instead of TR but now I'm 100% sure I'm not since mat doesn't look good on me. Thanks!
Same! I'm soft Classic or TR, it's really tough to figure out. Smaller head than TR, thin longer hands than Soft classic. Next to try more Muted eyeshadow
Same! Matte looks BRUTAL on me, and it's only taken me like 5 years to figure that out, lol. This video just made me all the more excited for the TR one.
I believe Amy Adams was typed FN by kibbe. Which was a surprise to everyone but style syntax breaks down why
What a good point about the eyeshadow being distributed equally around the eye! I do wonder if it's possible for soft classics to do a more experimental look adapted to their type? Like the way that you did the gamine eyeshadow allowed me to finally wear brighter colors and sharper creases as long as I place it in a round shape and emphasize my smaller eyes with that "staccato" effect. It seems that classics can pull off a balanced rimmed eye look instead. I've talking to a girl online about editorial makeup and bright colors, and she wishes she could try some of these ideas but as a soft classic they don't look right.
Also, are you interested in "editorial" makeup looks at all? Mixed with your advice on balancing and enhancing your face, I've been able to adapt some ideas like a bright eyeliner, painted eyelashes and glitter placement but of course as a gamine I probably have an easier time of it :)
Thank you for the comment! I didn't quite understand what does it mean editorial makeup? More experimental for soft classics is possible - but they should always try and know the theory - what might happen and why. But overall - the look is a combination of detailes, it's not just makeup, hair - not that strict. But knowing their bone structure they can feel what to add and what to remove from their look.
@@AlyArt "Editorial" is like artistic magazine makeup for photoshoots that most people wouldn't wear everyday, but I find it fun to take some inspiration from, kind of like some pictures in this: imgur.com/a/0o5dP I'd love to try the "watercolor" looks with a lot of eyeshadow blown out on the face but they don't really work on Gamine, buuuuuuuuut I've taken inspiration for pastel looks from Twiggy and similar bold 60s looks which does suit me when I follor your Gamine instructions! Maybe Soft Classics could try eyes rimmed with gold? I know this kind of makeup isn't really your style though, it's just an interesting thought :)
I do a lot of editorial looks on my ig @anas_domain and I'm a soft classic. It's all about the balance and where to put iy and knowing your eyeshape and color scheme. You can wear whatever you want just apply the classic lines to it and it will look great :).
This explains a lot of why I look sooooo weird with dramatic makeup :c
And why I look amazingly pretty when I’m wearing soft pink/peachy eyeshadow
I like looking up "french girl" make up..which is usually understated and light. I feel it works for me and probably other SCs.
I love your videos.This makes so much sense, I learned through trial and error that over-the-top is not for me. I’m dark skinned so I have dark lips as well. So I colour my lips only enough to hide their dark colour and make them look soft nude-pinkish. I also use a very natural looking eyeshadow and blush. I hardly ever apply foundation as it makes my skin texture look chalky and flaky, no matter which foundation I use. Today I learned to blend the eyeliner and I can’t wait to try it, can’t wait for this pandemic to get over already so that I can try all the tips I learned from you.
I always thought makeup just didn't suit me but now I understand that I just have to try natural and soft colours and avoid heavy makeup like eyeliner and such. Thank you so much!
I am a soft classic too and I have this make-up for years. Now I know why and won‘t buy experimental products anymore which I don‘t use - I hope. Thank you so much.
This explains it all ! My go to look is always a Cat eye , mascara , bronzer and a little blush . When I get a little more dressed up I just throw on some lipstick . Sometimes a little eyeshadow but it’s always neutral eyeshadows . If I go over board with eyeliner , shadows , anything I look like a drag queen ! Lol 😆
It’s gonna be really helpful and interesting if you could do a jeans for body types. I can’t find any information regarding this topic on RUclips. And jeans are such a staple in most people’s wardrobe:)
Good idea!
I'm a soft classic , bright colors or too dark colors never work for me , I always use soft pink tones or brown beige colors for my makeup , I don't contour at all or I'll feel like I'm just not me ? I like to bring out my pretty features somehow, I apply soft blush like peach or light pink when I tried redder blush it just didn't work out , after I'm done with matte eye-shadow I add suitable glitter or shimmer to my lid , I also try to add a soft color with little glitter below my eyes , I wish I can do more sometimes or something very extra but honestly ya it just doesn't work out , I do my eyeliner sometimes tho just thin and not sharp I just go with my eye shape , but I feel like soft classics actually do look good with or without makeup cuz features are elegant we just need soft makeup to show it the way it is , never follow random tutorials from youtubers or instagrammers instead just try to look at your own self and think what could fit u most , n keep it calm as much as possible ...
SC too. That’s how I do my makeup☺️
I am Soft Classic and I have always looked clownish with even a tiny bit overdone makeup. I really am a blush, nude lip liner, tinted lip balm and occasionally mascara-type of girl. Sometimes brushing my brows, curling my eyelashes and putting on Vaseline on both lashes and brows is enough! Tousled or unkempt hair throws off my whole look as well. And now I finally know why! Thank you so much Aly.
How about a video how to wear tattoos depends on body type? I find this could be hugely interasting! Who thinks the same?
This is such a great idea!
Please make a video on how a soft classic can wear a winged eyeliner and red lipstick. I am a soft classic and always feel that it's hard to pull off bold liner and lips.
Yesss
@@nidaraju4449 I find using brown liquid eyeliner instead of black is easier to pull off as a soft classic, and blending a little bit of eyeshadow in the same shade neatly along the edges helps to soften the line. For the lips, maybe go with a more muted red, one that's close to the shades you find in your own skin so as to tie it in with your face. If you keep everything clean and simple and just focus on those two elements, I think you could pull it off :)
Nida Raju i am supposedly a soft classic but my face is super romantic and always feel like this look is great on me. i love shimmer, eyeliner, and bold lips but only red though. other colors wash me out.
Still having trouble determining if I'm Soft Classic or Theatrical romantic
I know right? I struggle with that too! Feel face-wise Im more similar to T.R. but style-wise/body maybe more S.C. Pretty confusing! I have more delicate hands/feet so probably T.R.?! 🤔🤔🤔
Me too! Those are the two types I’m between
If you're classic, very classic cloth like simple trench coats and t-shirs that are not loose or tight as well as not much contrast will fit you. I am and although I think it's ugly these outdoor raincoats and simple trecking stuff look good on me like I don't need anything over the top yk and I feel the prettiest with decent make up and a one colour dress without any speciality.
Theatrical romantic will have rather round but I believe a little stronger features (compared to R) than balanced ones(compared to C). If you have round cheekbones(contour looks good) and very shiny and Marilyn Monroe like cloth fits you, you might be T.R. As a soft classic very shimmery cloth is a little bit over the top but not for a TR. Maybe you'll find someone who looks similar to you by searching SC and TR pictures
Take a test online , thats how i figured im a soft classic
@@svetlanaganeva1803 do u have a link?
with a lot of trial and error I finally found what looks best for me for my daytime look and it's exactly what you did 😂 I wish I had seen this video before
tip: you can get away with a dramatic lip if you have very clean eye makeup as a soft classic. but a very plump, glossy nude lip will always look amazing imo. vaseline is everything.
I completely agree with you on the hair highlights. I'm a soft classic/cool summer and my hights always looked off on me and would get brassy. I'm much more content with my natural hair color.
As a soft classic, I use pinky nudes on my lip and lip liner to slightly overdraw my top lip. Taupe shades work best for my eyebrows; I tend to be a bit heavy-handed with my brows as they are usually the star of my face. I also make sure my complexion is smooth and even and if my eye makeup is subtle, I'll use a light pinky blush on my cheeks. Brown mascara and eye liner usually look best on me!
i do my make up exactly like this :D lip colour thats close to my natural lip colour but a tint reddish/orange, only use light browns on my eyes that resemble my skin. only apply it on my crease and fill my eyebrows in a little bit with the actual colour of my eyebrows. i dont do much and if i overdo it, i look absolutely crazy. i have long lashes by nature so i bought a lash gel instead of mascara because it would look too heavy on me.
If I have eye shadow I wear a softer on lips.If I were red lipstick I aonly wear eyeliner winged.I try and keep every thing balance d I don't look good in thick make up and a lot of blush.I don't look good in to natural makeup.my makeup is moderate
This is so extremely helpful and explains so much. If only I knew about this when I first started wearing makeup! I was always trying to go with the bold makeup looks that were trendy at the time, heavy eyeliner, blush, big eyeshadow colors, but I could never pull it off. Now I know why, and instead of feeling insecure, I feel empowered and knowledgeable on how to embrace my own beauty 🥰
I could totally relate to this video! Glad to know that i have been doing the things right! And also, i did made the mistakes that you showed in the video,for example i tried grunge look sometimes but it went wrong everytime and i looked soo heavy... For my daily makeup I only use a simple slightly blended eyeliner, some blush in a contured shape and stained lip with a natural looking color...
Oh goodness. I’m soft classic, have hooded eyelids, AND olive skin! The stacks are all up against me 😭😂 But seriously, this explains why heavy makeup always look off on me. My contrast is pretty high (dark hair & eyes, medium skin) but black eye makeup doesn’t do justice for me, neither does gloss, shimmer nor any form of contouring. I stick to matte browns and grays only which works better. Thick lashes look too heavy on me but wispy ones (especially ones that are longer in the middle and shorter towards the ends) look amazing on me! Plus, bottom lashes are a must to off set the weight of my hooded lids. I stay away from blush like the plague because they never look good on me, which I don’t have the same problem with lipstick. For lips, I stick to 3 specific shades & never venture out of them (brown, red and burgundy - nudes look too pink on me, and pink always look awful on me). Anyways, these are some of my challenges I face as a hooded lid, olive skinned Soft Classic 😅 thank you again Aly for another informative video! 💜💋
I am pretty sure I am a soft classic. however, I have curly wild hair so that's what nature gave me I can't always make my hair slick cuz it's a LOT of work!!
Same here.
Me too! I always feel like my hair should be more polished but won’t stay that way once I go outside.
Same..I try to at least get it to do light waves instead of super curly.
I have learned so much since you started the Kibbe series and I learned I was soft classic. It really is kind of life changing! I was doing my makeup and wardrobe mostly okay but I am able to "stay inside the lines" of my type much more. I always match my eyes to my lips now and use mostly matte makeup.
Not sure yet if I'm a Soft or Dramatic Classic but it seems like my face is more soft because everything you said was relevant to me !! I love eyeshadow but everytime I put some I look like I try too hard or I look tired, so I just keep it simple with mascara and a thin brown eyeliner as black eyeliner tends to look too harsh or strong on me. For lips I prefer keeping it natural or soft with beige, brown sometimes plum tones as well as red of course but crazy colours do look odd on me, I guess the glitter and rainbow colours will remain unused in my palettes...
Oh, I love your hair blonde, bobbed, and parted in the middle like that!
Informative and well made as ever ♥️ thank you for your work, it's much appreciated. Lately I've seen some people recommending you in other videos comments and I love it, your knowledge is very special to me and deserves a big audience!
As a soft classic this video describes pretty much my own way of putting make up as my methods instinctively progressed through the years, I'm glad I've been quite coherent even before starting to learn about the types ahah
I’m a soft classic and I find that I look best with generally less eye makeup and, like you said, not blended too close to the brow. If I do want to wear something loud or fun on the eyes I would just be sure that the rest of my makeup is very fresh and natural. xx
Spot on, anything even remotely heavy looks awful on me no matter how well it's done it's also why I no longer get my makeup done by makeup artists
Okay I was literally checking today if you posted the video for soft classic - needed it so much because everything looks kinda harsh on my face
Thank you❣️
The thing is, i'm very confused if i am a "romantic type" or a "soft classic type", but i love the similitudes of both styles, so i just mix them up.
Same here!
Thank you for this video! I have been waiting so long for it
I think you got this on point, again! :) my eyebrows can very easily shout louder than rest of my face and it doesn't suit me AT ALL. Also, the trend of over drawing lips doesn't suit me...
I will definitely practice doing some daytime smokey eye now. Thanks for the tips Aly!
I think that There is no now days trend that fits us soft classics, it's the retro style that fits us the best
My eyebrows are SCREAMING on my face lol
As a soft classic, I do love Matt eyes! I am so happy to hear about the eyeliner! I’ve tried for many years and now I finally know that I’m not just odd. I use eyebrow brush on my lashline and it always do so well well I simply follow my eye shape, no crazy wing, no crazy bright liners. I do use sparky eye shadow, only browns and nude shimmer. And only 1 shimmer at a time.
I thought I was flamboyant natural since I am 1.78m, but it seems I am definitely SC, since all the advices (on make up and clothing) match with SC :) huh...
that seems very tall for a soft classic though, have you looked into taller body types?
but I suppose if the shoe fits its perfect for you :)
Love, love, love this! As a more "mature" soft classic (66 yo) I find this look to be perfectly suited to my face. That being said, my conundrum has been to keep my make-up toned down as my personality is pretty much extroverted extrovert! More is always better in my book! I want sparkle! I want shine! I want "over the top"! So .... I go in with a light touch and add more if the occasion warrants. sigh
Thank you, Aly!
I suppose you could look at it as, you don't have to do as much to achieve a lively look if you're a soft classic. I'm not SC and I've noticed the effect with "french girl" makeup, which tends to be Classic or SC. It looks achingly stylish or striking on just the right girl, but when I try the same thing it's simply too quiet and bland. Not a complaint, just to say that Soft Classics have a cool ability to create an emphatic look with just a small extra touch.
@@cianap.281 So funny you should mention "french girl" makeup as I have played with that look as well. (and my fathers side is French so I feel like I fit right in with that look!) I do love a bold red lip with minimal eye and soft blush. I feel like I can play up my eyes a bit more because I wear glasses, and without some shadow and a good amount of mascara, my eyes just seem to disappear.
@@cindyyoung50 That sounds very pretty!
to be honest, clear eyeliner looks good on me as long as I don't do a wing. For me a little bit of eyeliner wich is thicker towards the outer end of the eye looks the best. To balance it a little I put a little brown eyeshadow or cayal on my lash line. Brown cayal looks amazing if I use it to define my lash lines a little bit more! The best colour is my own hair colour do I usually usw my eyebrow pencil. By putting dark colour, blended very well, under my eye and only in the center looks way better than drawing a line (also it smudges less)
I always wanted to do Korean make up but putting sparkling eyeshadow or white high light *under* my eye looks horrible! However I found that instead I can use a ashy pink or peach colors in general and esoecially under my eye (for aegyo-sal if u know what I mean) and it also conceales dark circles!!
For my skin I geniunely don't use highlighter and contouring. The only thing I have is a decent bronzer and if I use it to contour my nose and cheeks a little bit it's enough. Highlighter doesn't suit me buuut if I put a slight glow by using a lip balm or sth similar it looks even better on me. I hope this could help^^
Oh my gosh, this is a beautiful refined and elegant look. I think I am soft classic. I've always struggled with eye looks and wondered why smudgy or smokey looks do not look right on me. Forget eyeliner (hooded eyes), anything messy or heavy (brows or eyes) just never felt right to me. I will definitely try this clean and delicate look, thank you so much Alyona ♥
Yay, I can't wait for theatrical romantic!
As a soft-classic, I always struggle a lot when it comes to makeup to not look like a clown. 🤡
Over time I realized that mascara + blush+lip balm is my god to go look, it's the only look in which I don't look overdone.
I love your videos and I tell a lot of my lady friends about you! I'm a soft classic myself and I've been looking forward to this video in your series!
Face: After foundation, I use a beauty blender to tap on a cream blush over my cheeks (and lightly on the tip of my nose and chin), then use all over powder to weaken/soften the blush and also set my foundation. I only use contour/highlight for night-time makeup or extra glam.
Eyes: I don't own eyeshadow because they always look too heavy on me, so I use my contour palette's bronzer as eyeshadow so my face's colours are more uniform and consistent. The colours are also softer and easy to build up if I want more colour. I use liquid eyeliner, but I'm gonna try using the blended liner technique I just learned today!
Brows: I switched from an ash-y brow powder to a textured brow gel as the lines are less harsh and more natural.
Lips: I usually just brush my lips with my toothbrush to exfoliate and make them more plump. However I don't use lipstick because again they always feel too harsh on me. I just apply Burt's Bee's pomegranate chapstick to keep my lips hydrated and naturally rouge. My lips are red and full enough to hold up on their own. :)
This whole routine takes me 10-15 minutes every morning and I love being a soft classic!
I always wish to contour my face but never looks good on me and i was wondering why. Now I understand! I’m soft classic.. so I decided to minimize my make up and work on powder bronzer instead of contour creamy stick. It works!!
this explains how I look so weird smoked/heavy makeup, I feel so much prettier and myself with more bare / minimalistic makeup
My look is foundation, filled in brows and bright color lips - mostly reds or wine. ;)
I'm a soft classic and you've helped me so much with this especially with the eyebrows, I'm gonna get mine threaded again now, I started doing them at home by keeping them too bushy just so I could take the focus away from my large eyes but it looks very unnatural now that I see, also about my lips I've always avoided glosses bcz they emphasised my lips.
I didn't like the fact that I have big eyes and lips, and that any makeup looked too much or clownish on me, so stopped wearing any even tho I like to put some colour art on my face every now n then. But now when you explained how we have a balanced elegant features and too much doesn't look right, I've come to realise I need to embrace what I have.
Oh also the make-up look that I find looks really good on me is, basically wearing nothing else but brushing my eyebrows n eyelashes with a clean spooly and wearing a pink /pink nude lipsticks, blotting it off with tissue paper and blurring the edges of my lip a little, just completely Transforms my face in a healthy way.
I like all the looks you suggested Aly! I also love a good eye pencil for a smokey eye. I still struggle with the eyeliner sometimes being too sharp for me. A good tip I found is to keep the pencil sharpened, use it all around the eye, blend it, then add another line (smaller and closer to the eye) all around. Works great w brown/purple pencil too. Then maybe adding a small eyeliner line on top, plus mascara. This works with or without a little eyeshadow. But there has to be somehing on the lips too or SC can look ''unfinished'' so to speak. For a natural look I do almost exactly like you did, but with a nude lipstick.
as a textbook soft classic, I say amen to everything!!
Omg I waited for this for so long.
Your recap in the beginning of this really solidified for me that this is my Kibbe body type! I found it was harder for me to determine my own type but when looking at my relatives it became very obvious.
My signature look is concealer, dusty rose blush (or bronzer mixed with blush slightly contoured but not much and blended), mascara, and a pink-nude eyeshadow on the lid and a cool grey-brown color in the crease, and nude-brown lipgloss. That's all. I always think eyeliner makes me look worse, and I have experimented with so many lipsticks but none compliment me as well as a classic red (or my trusty nude gloss). I agree that matte is a very good clean look for me but I also think some satin can be good but not straight up sparkle. I cant wait to try these looks. Thanks!! Great video
I love these videos, they make me realize about so many stuff on me (being a soft classic). My signature look are two actually: No foundation, no concealer, just curve my eyelashes and put mascara on until it seems like I got falsies, peach blush across and very high on my cheeks and nose bridge and same colour on my lips. The other look is less mascara, mate brown or gray eyeshadow on the corner and out of the eye, same brown under my cheeks, nothing on the lips. I am always asked why don't I use a ''pin-up'' eyeliner or red lips and whenever I do, it just doesn't look flattering and people don't get it.
Now I realized that the only on the top things that I do are too much mascara and the excessive brown under my cheeks, but it's ok cause now is a signature of me haha great video ♥️
I am a soft classic but I am also a true bright so I am able to wear bright colors well but only in a classic way. Like turquoise on the lower 1/2 of my lid like thick eyeliner & red lips.
Love it, heavily suspected I was (Soft?) Classic and this sealed the deal. Tried first with foundation and it became "too much" and oddly elvish/costumey, then I removed all and started without, adding just some under my eyes.
Second attempt left me tied to the mirror for a long time, I feel so very beautiful.
So even if Classic can feel a bit boring at first - lots of potential and timeless style 😍
Some soft classics look weird when they overdrawn the lips. - > this is me. I don't even wear lipstick on a daily basis. Usually just a tinted balm or a regular balm. I find when I wear lipstick - even a nude one - it makes my lips larger and makes my face look unbalanced. now I also know why I usually just go for spot concealer, and matching blush and lip color and curl my lashes. Everytime my foundation would start to look too dewy (and not "powdery" as you suggested) or even small amounts of highlighter, I would have the urge to wash it off. Now I know why!!!
I never liked lipstick on me, no matter which color (from my color palette) I tried. Lately I found out that a coloured lipgloss actually looks really nice on me.
I believe that I am a Soft Classic, and it is true that I cannot do anything smudgy, over-the-top or dramatic in any way. It looks clownish on me. The way I've refined doing my makeup is a more simple, clean look. Clean skin, no contouring. Nothing flashy looks right on me in any way, ever. I have a very light, but more neutral skin tone but prefer warmer makeup choices and Bright Spring coloring for clothing.
A tinted face oil evens out my skin tone for daily wear (the Maybelline green something one), and doesn't make it look too heavy which many high-coverage foundations can do since they hide my freckles.
A small amount of highlighter above where I put my blush under the eyes, the bridge of my nose, chin, and a tiny bit on the forehead in order to make the skin makeup look not too flat but to have some color back (not too different from my skin tone, and one that doesn't clash with my coloring).
I use a natural colored blush (NARS Orgasm), but lightly on the apples of my cheeks.
A brow tint pen to define my brows, but not overly so since that would look weird on me, clear brow setting gel so that they stay in place (and clean-looking) during the day. I easily look unkempt if my brows aren't maintained with a flattering, classic shape. No trendy eyebrow shapes or techniques for me.
A soft, shimmery eyeshadow with a delicate sparkle I've been playing with recently. I either use just that over my eyelid primer or add a soft matte shadow underneath. Overly smoky makes me (emphasis on me) look dirty and unkempt in a way, so I stick to light shadow. I got Colour Pop Super Shock Shadow in In the Saddle.
I then line my eyes very cleanly with a small flick/cat-eye (not dramatic, just a small one) with a liquid black liner.
I finish off the eyes with mascara that lengthens and curls my lashes (they're very straight), not a clumpy formula. I like the Maybelline Lash Sensational ones in the black colors.
Spray on a finishing spray that you like, I'm just using the one I got from a subscription box.
For lips, I typically keep it light with a warm pink gloss or add some Benefit Posie lip tint (or one of the red ones) before the gloss for some more color.
I really appreciate the time and research you put into making these videos and, your positive and unbiased approach as well .. thank you so much Aly ❤️
Thank you for this video, now I understand why too much makeup has always looked odd on me. Glad to have found your channel.
Thank you Alyona! I always have problems applying pencil liner and go for the liquid liner, but this is showing me that maybe i shouldn't. It's very true that shimmery and/or bright red lips are a no go. I can do light shimmer on my eyelids though.
Hey Aly! I’m a soft classic. I love makeup but yeah... I need very little information to look good. So I practice makeup on my friends who are not classic 😃
Yaaay! I was waiting for this one 💕
I don't know if this is my signature look but I love using heavy blush, but if I use it I can't use any other heavy color on the face. So I don't actually contour, I use a lot of blush from the middle of my cheekbones to almost my jawline, but all this *very* blended, it has to look like it's my own skin. I feel I have a lot of left space if I don't do my blush like this, as if my face is not balanced. I also put blush on the nose. For the rest of the face I don't wear lipstick, just lip balm or a really soft and blended color, for the eyes only natural nudes or no shadows and natural eyelashes and eyeliner in brown tones. Eyebrows just follow my natural shape.
But I love experimenting, and when I want to so something more sharp I usually play around with contour and my hairstyle to give the impression my face shape has more edges. Hair is the most important tho, helps hiding the soft curves of the face more than makeup does.
Thank you so much for all this hard work and for sharing your talent with us. Excellent series.
literally how i always do it lol 😂 seems like i had a good instinct
You’re body types series has changed my life so much! I could never go back to the shapes body type theory it just personally leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Embrace and love who you are!
This is exactly how I have been doing my makeup for years, never geared towards eyeshadows and I always liked clean and matte lips no matter what the color.
I love sparkly green eyeshadow, but I realize that it can be a difficult color to make wearable without being clownish. What I do is blended with pink and light Brown in my crease, with a thin winged eyeliner in black. In daylight I wear it with a terracotta lip gloss and at night for that vintage vibe a deep berry lipstick, because I think darker lip colors work best with my brown complexion.
"And that's her being older!" - I love the way you said that haha
Me too! 😂
Hi Aly :) do one about how to wear sneakers and casual wear for soft classics :D thanks!
This is an amazing video! You are a genius- I’ve taken the kibbe test several times and always pretty much get soft classic. This explains why I just can’t wear that much makeup!!
I thought for the longest o must be a soft natural or romantic but the makeup never really worked for me but honestly wearing concealer and blush with some lip gloss I always get more compliments with those three things then when I go all out and wear things I see people that go full glam do. Full glam can make me look older and too much.
As a soft classic, I like the way I look with light powder and nothing else on the skin, like blush, highlighter, contour, they seem to stand out a little too much unless I'm going for a more glam look, but on a regular basis, the powder alone looks very clean. For a no makeup look, I like to either do my brows (slightly on the thinner darker side), or mascara (not clumpy), or a natural lip color a little bit brighter or deeper than my natural lip color. If I pick just one of those (after I've taken care of my skin of course), I can achieve a surprisingly put together look.
