EYESHADOW: Everything You Need To Know | Alexandra Anele

[@brandyspears9718]

I cannot believe you are self-taught! You sound so technical, like a school makeup artist sounds. I guess some just get it and some need more practice to learn these skills.

[@beautyover6018]

Brandy Spears she is you tube trained like many of us watch a million you tube tutorials and you will learn to and be just as precise and exact all of us you tube trained ones sound alike😂

[@gabigavin-hanner5725]

Lauren Jade Beauty also an artist. I’m sure she had figure drawing classes

[@brendaowsley6149]

This is the best video I have ever seen on explaining they eye and what makeup needs to do, PLEASE do more of these.Eye makeup is so fun, who doesn't love a great palette! Please do more of these eye tutorials,thx for all of your help!

[@reneeleese]

Brenda Owsley exactly I’ve seen so many makeup videos and none every explained why you do certain colours in the crease etc and I felt untilninunderstoidnthst I’d never really know what I was doing, or trying to achieve, i could only try to replicate. Samantha rahvandahl also does good beginner videos.... as if I’m still a beginner at age 36, but so much has changed since I first started learning makeup

[@keepitreal9762]

Agree!! So Educational.. ❤️❤️ It

[@nykkelly3388]

OMG!! Sweetheart, not ONE MOMENT was wasted on watching this tutorial!!! At 55, I thought I knew all I needed to know about makeup (but still watch anyway) but I was speechless when you gave me the brush size rule!!! Game changer!!! Watching this AGAIN!!!❤❤❤

[@txkhs]

You’re so articulate and I love how specific your terminology is, I’ve never watched a tutorial where we talk about planes and space. All of the things you mentioned I already know, but that’s just from years and years of practice. It was awesome I hear the words of the process out loud. I think this video will be so helpful to beginners and i know I’ll be sharing it with my little sister who’s just starting out. Giiiirl. You’re amazing.

[@ChloeBrown]

Most helpful video I have ever watched! Thank You so much for this

[@lyndseycarr1320]

No kidding....learned a lot....esp that I need more brushes lol. But she always does a beautiful job.

[@franettemcculloch3288]

This is the BEST explanation of the why and how of eye shadow I have ever seen! Bravo!!!!! Keep them coming!

[@michellerynae4405]

I love how you translate everything to art, dimension. How to use brushes and why. I learn so much from you. And omg you are so beautiful!!!!

[@futuresupernurse]

Michelle Flores I agree it is so awesome to have the why vs do this and then that... and yes I feel as pretty as she is she can pull off any look

[@JaniceMba]

You are a pure gem, loved the video. I support you content and I want you to win. A much needed video, I get fed up of just folks putting makeup on no explanation, then I'm out.

[@AlexandraAnele]

Me too! I get so bored of the same old Everyday Drugstore tutorial 😑

[@katemurphy5773]

Totally the BEST tutorial/explanation video out there! You just can't beat perfection!!!

[@lisalisa4316]

Your a great teacher! With the MOST gorgeous eye color! Being beautiful doesn’t hurt.

[@AlexandraAnele]

😩 thank you so much!

[@biancachristie]

FINALLY!! This is all of the information that I couldn’t find anywhere else on YT (or anywhere else period TBH). I’ve been working on stepping up my makeup looks (since we’re all stuck inside, I figure it’s a great time to practice). Nobody ever mentioned that blending rule of thumb (larger brush=lighter shade), and I’ve been struggling and making a right royal mess of my eyes with scads of fallout (my Huda Amethyst palette has suffered the most). Thank you thank you thank you! Now that I know what I’ve been doing wrong, I can focus on what I need to do right. You’re my favorite YT reviewer, and I’m so damn excited that I found your channel 💋😘. I’ll also be recommending your channel to everyone who will listen. Also, I don’t think you’re long winded at all. You’re entertaining but every single thing you say is informative, so not a minute is wasted. And please do some sequels: eyes are the most fun to do, but they’re also where everything can go wrong, so you’re saving us all time and money (not to mention frustration and sometimes tears-so great when you’re trying to get your eyes to look good and half crying with frustration because you can’t get it right-). Please keep kicking ass so the rest of us can be a little more fierce

[@rawveganmangolover]

I really wish I would’ve found this video last year when you posted it. I have watched hundreds of videos (at least), and I have never had his much clarity about contouring the eyes. I am so happy I found your channel and so grateful you are willing to share your knowledge and talent. Thank you so much!❤️

[@AlexandraAnele]

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! Lots of people have asked for an updated video on this, so if there’s anything you think I didn’t cover please let me know! 💗

[@MichelleLewis1969]

Of all the hours that I've watched YT to learn some new and innovative ways to learn about how the placement of cosmetics can improve or degrade your overall look, you've been brilliant and I appreciate you going to this level of doing makeup. Thank you for your videos, Alex! I do appreciate it!

[@skylarbrittanyx]

please do more videos like this!! this is so helpful, thank you.

[@helenbennett1093]

Skylar Britttany

[@TheGlamourIndex]

I would love to see a smoked out liner tutorial! I cannot master that.

[@AlexandraAnele]

That's a tough one for me too!

[@chellybbyx33]

I agree!

[@findsmiles9282]

Same for me - including trying to get better with cream shadows. Thank you!

[@carolynnalvarez7032]

Me too

[@alicat79100]

The Glamour Index I watch your channel too. I love both of y'all!

[@janetdavies3818]

A reiteration of all the positive comments below...awesome and so down to earth. I could actually sense your sincerity in sharing your talent and knowledge. Thank you and please continue to share with us.💫❤

[@smbarone2000]

The color choices also enhanced your eye color. So pretty.

[@tracyvision]

Looking down to flatten out the lid “canvas”...simple tip, but a game changer for me. Thank you for all the nitty gritty details.

[@AlexandraAnele]

I’m guilty of not doing this still. I’ll find myself contorting my neck in such an uncomfortable way and then I’m like, wait...I can just tilt my mirror and look done 😑😂

[@emilyostermeyer8555]

You are such a wonderful teacher! I so appreciate your explanation of the lighting/contrast theory behind it-that’s something that really helps me understand how to apply this to my particular eye shape. This is the most helpful eye video I’ve watched to date. Thank you!

[@shehnazakter717]

You are the most talented teacher. I saw your video today and I have just got obsessed with you.

[@estherdavy4142]

Hi Alexandra. I’m so thankful for this. I’m 34, a professional, and have been wearing makeup for 15-20 years. I still learned so much from this video . I’m getting back into makeup post pandemic and loving it. Thank you!

[@jeannasycks4733]

I watch a lot of eye shadow tutorials...and you my dear have been the most skilled and most educational....please keep the tutorials coming!

[@Sam-ul4zq]

The way you explain things is immensely helpful.

[@Turan_95]

Best Eyeshadow Tutorial Ever!

[@nikkimoney3062]

whoever disliked the video needs to go away. this is an amazing tutorial. stop being jelous. the quality of the video is amazing as well.

[@1beefybroad]

Three years ago, this master class video was posted. Today, is the day of discovery. This is exactly what I needed 20 years ago! It’s brilliant in the explanations and the why’s of each detail. THANK YOU. Also, since I’ve just recently found you and I’ve only seen a bunch of recent videos, I laughed out loud at your cheery intro greeting. I like you even more! 😉

[@yaelifembotnikova]

You are the truth! I've never heard someone be so technical and I love it. Life has been given! ♥

[@mitchelledube4084]

Thank God this is 30 minutes,I needed all the details 😩we need more videos like this We need a highlight and contour video next 😘

[@AlexandraAnele]

😂 I was like, I hope people actually watch this....but it couldn't be any shorter!

[@knylvable]

Yes, agreed, this was perfect, thank you!

[@eve794]

This was excellent! Your explanation of the placement of the different types of shadows made so much sense & I can't wait to do my makeup tomorrow because I believe it's going to look much better thanks to your helpful tips! Darker colors/smaller brushes tip was my favorite. Thanks for being so thorough! I think that makeup tutorials are great, but when you learn the mechanics & learn techniques from people who have the knowledge & patience to explain the hows & whys, viewers can use them to create their own perfect look for their own face. Yes for tutorials like this!!!

[@BodaciousBeverly]

Thank you for explaining about brushes! I've watched dozens of makeup artists use various brushes, even telling us what brush they are using, but not why they use that brush. Now I get it!

[@leceroe2485]

This is my FAVORITE video you've done. Super informative.

[@AlexandraAnele]

Thanks love!

[@mateooo1230]

You’re like a Makeup professor!!!Hah!!! Very educational!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😍😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bonniedicostanzo7117]

So helpful! Love that you take your time, and reiterate more technical details. ❤️

[@monicacarbajal9763]

I’m so glad I found you. I’m self taught and I’m having the hardest time with shadow. This was beyond helpful. Love your personality

[@laschicasRloca]

I have been a makeup fanatic for almost 20 years. After watching this video I realized there are so many application techniques that I have been doing incorrectly this whole time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. And please Please PLEASE make more of these types of videos.

[@teresajohnson7233]

This is the best video on eye contouring I have seen. Thanks for explaining in such detail.

[@mvong8531]

My favorite eye makeup tutorial by far

[@1324lopez1]

Where have I been this whole time? You're definitely right.. an informative video tops a tutorial any time. You're not only gorgeous; but very educated & talented as well. 🗣 Subscribed.

[@wotstuff3667]

YAY! Best hooded eye shadow application video!! FINALLY!! THank you so much for this video!!!!!!! ❤️️ u and your channel!! So happy i found you!!!!!!

[@modestinebeauty892]

Everything started to make sense after watching this... 💁🏻‍♀️ And when things makes sense, it’s a lot easier to work around it. Thanks for this informative video 😉

[@debid.7072]

This was absolutely amazing Alexandra and just as everyone else has written, this was beautifully explained and I do hope in the future, you do alot more of these! You've done a Cat Eye, so can you explain other eye looks as well, please?

[@aprilanonymous7237]

Debi D

[@ileking1]

I love your educational videos! You're so beautiful and you explain things very clearly so no matter who is in your audience, they can understand. I just wanted to point out that what helps the most is when you explain the details behind why certain colours/brushes work for different techniques due to the shape of your features, which is really useful!

[@janicehanson3263]

I love these type of videos. Not very many out there. Jaclyn Hill use to do them way back in the day. I really learned a lot. Brows and contouring lips are areas I would like to watch videos on. 👍🏻

[@Lunkm82]

I am so happy I found your page. This has been hands down the best video ever about how to place eyeshadow and technique. Thank you!!!!!

[@zahrajabeen9243]

So you are telling me that you are self taught yet do your makeup 100000x better than so called certified MUAS + YOU ARE SO FREAKING GORGEOUS

[@cjewell215]

Girl I recently discovered you and have binge watched for a week straight now 🤣🤣 I have learned more from you then anyone else combined over the last multiple years! Thanks so much!!!

[@rupacc7]

My eyeshadow getting better using your tips & tricks! So happy!

[@mishmash3968]

Best video I’ve seen to date and I’ve watched A LOT. Excellent job.

[@zeenath5830]

Such gr8 instructions so clear and precise and easy to follow. There's always more to learn. Thanks Alexandra.

[@redsequins8078]

Wow!! This is probably one of the best videos that I have ever seen. From one teacher (middle school) to another (make-up), you are amazing!!!

[@pams6069]

Yes! I desperately need to update my eyeshadow techniques from the 1980’s & you explain everything so clearly & in detail. First video of yours I’ve watched & you sold me so much that I subscribed. I’ve been waiting for tutorials like this! Mega thanks!

[@niambimoore4229]

would love a series of this including diff eye shapes 😍 so helpful, thank you boo

[@SSaaNNddYY77]

Excellent tutorial! I'm an artistic person who has painted and drawn many things. Fav is portraits, so I understood all you mentioned! I love makeup and "painting" my face is so relaxing. You really explained this wonderfully!

[@gabrielledean5996]

Bravo Alex this is truly the most helpful, incredible eyeshadow tutorial on KZbin- everyone should take pointers from you not only on the shadow and color theory but also on how to make makeup tutorials!!

[@Jules0001]

What a brilliant tutorial! Thanks so much Alexandra - I learned more in this half an hour than a year watching other YT channels :-) xxx

[@AlexandraAnele]

Yay! So happy to hear that!

[@MarissaRenee211]

I know the purpose of this video was instructional, but I think this proves that if you take your time with correct placement, color and the right brushes, you can achieve a stunning eye look. It’s truly beautiful! I love your choices in brushes btw.

[@snappiersocks]

Best eyeshadow video I've ever seen! Thank you so much.

[@michelebeck8129]

The best eyeshadow video I've ever seen. Thanks!

[@2cmrinhfx]

Educational videos like​ these are EXCELLENT!!!

[@dublin201]

This video came up as a suggestion for me. This woman is literally the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

[@hope4sumthinghappy]

I love your videos! You present the fundamental concepts of WHY and HOW to use makeup so clearly and I’ve found it so helpful. I’m in my 30’s and trying to revamp my look, and your videos have simplified the process and elevated the results. Thanks!

[@cynthialees2760]

Just found this video, excellent tutorial! I just got a new Pat McGrath palette and your tutorial was such a great tech reminder as sometimes my looks get too blown out and almost muddy looking. Thanks for the help, even 3 years later! You know it’s a good tutorial when it lasts the test of time!

[@jsabri6324]

Thank you! This is the most informative video on eyeshadow application that I have watched. I know I will be watching this a few more times to catch all of the detail.

[@eluby]

JUST discovered your channel. Binge watched, of course! You are one of the BEST instructors out there. Not everyone can teach well. THANK YOU!

[@LusciousBombshell1]

This by far is the best breakdown on how to do eye makeup! Your are very thorough and informative! I learned so many tips and I appreciate you for not just doing a tutorial but explaining why you take certain steps. Yes to part 2! Bring on more videos like this! I would be interested in learning more about creating different shapes and placement of e/s. Thank you again 😘

[@serenityct2]

Best video yet on this subject. Thank you.

[@janelb7707]

I'm learning so much from your channel!! I love the detailed descriptions of why you do everything. Thank you so much!!

[@shhleeshhmaker9496]

LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW INFORMATIVE YOU ARE!!

[@rabbithoro3564]

Why I just found this video of yours after all these years! I just do my eye makeup follows your guidance and it was the best eyeshadow look I have ever done! Thank you!!!

[@astronautann]

More educational vids like this please!!! Could you also do a vid on brush techniques? LOVED this video :)

[@pranjalipotdar5519]

This is the most helpful eyeshadow video! The brush size and the cat eye shape tip worked for me. Thanks so much!

[@luckcangus]

This is a great video!!! I love that you are instructing that’s what ppl want.

[@stephaniem5091]

What a fantastic tutorial. I've seen some good tutorials on YT, but none of them go into detail like you do. Maybe it's because of your art background and understanding colour and depth etc. Fantastic vid!

[@ΔΕΣΠΟΙΝΑΠΟΛΥΧΡΟΝΙΔΟΥ-ρ2ι]

Most helpful video I've ever watched!! So much information, so many helpful tips, thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelareade3324]
