Just an interesting point of distinction, the elf setting spray for setting and then the L’Oreal setting spray for fixing even though the label reads setting spray you recognize that the formula is more of a fixing spray

Just bought a pillow to try. Thank you for the discount code! Happy 2025!!

Alex, I will never not big up your work on this channel! I work for an EXTREMELY busy Sephora in NYC, & it’s almost impossible for me, as a Beauty Advisor, to relay all of these VERY useful tips to my clients during my expected 5 min, microwavable conversations. So instead, I just pick out all of the products, & color palettes I know will work for them, & then just send them straight to your channel for technique and application knowledge. I refuse to give Sephora the satisfaction of just capitalizing on desperate clients who actually need in depth advice. My clients always come back to rebuy & sing your praises for being awesome at what you do, & thank me for steering them the right way. You rock.

[@AlexandraAnele]

😭😭😭 Oh my god thank you so much, that’s amazing, you’re so sweet! Which Sephora is it?? I’ll have to come by next time I’m on town! 🙌🏼❤️

[@karlaestrada8250]

You’re an absolute ANGEL. I’d fly to NYC from Idaho just to shop in your presence🥹 never change🤍

As a glasses wearer, I've found that a Fixing Spray is the best way to keep my glasses from rubbing off my nose makeup throughout the day! Was an absolute game changer for me!

[@Thamazgha-tamurth-enegh]

Can you explain more on how you use the spray on your nose? Do you spritz it onto a puff and then blend it onto your nose or just spritz it onto your nose? That nose area is my pet peeve😢!

[@monikaprzybylska4018]

Sorry Alex but I can't focus on what you're saying because you look stunning with today's hair and makeup. These colours complement you so well 😍. Please make tutorial how to recreate it 😊 Happy New Year from UK xx

[@ClaraSunshine]

Yes, this style is so cute🎉

Yesss her eyes are too beautiful

[@kimharwood5472]

So agree what has she done differently 😅

[@Crystal0139]

@@kimharwood5472it looks like her eyes is what’s mostly different. Butttt i seen one of her replies and she said she filmed this look and will be posting it next 😁😁

[@MsFrancesca-n9j]

Same! I like the natural shape eye look she has going on instead of the cat eye. Beautiful.

[@RachelTheAries]

I'm here to say that I took the tip earlier this year about using a puff under the eyes along with tapping off excess powder on my hand. I use the E.L.F. Halo Glow powder for that too, also via your recommendation. Game changer. And yes, you don't need to spend a ton of money. I got my puffs from Amazon. Thank you, Alex. 💜

[@AlexandraAnele]

@@RachelTheAries I’m so glad I stopped using a brush for that! 🙌🏼

[@singularity___]

I use a puff with this exact powder and agreed, it's a game changing combo

[@lungcavityatf]

I used these tips last night and I couldn't believe how flawless my makeup still looked when I got back home!!

[@harvestcheddar0]

I need whatever blush and eye products you are using because you look radiant

[@AlexandraAnele]

Video coming soon!

[@LisaEvans-g3l]

At 54 I have lines. I’ve found my way of working with them. I prep with moisturiser and eye cream and let that sink in. I colour correct before foundation using Nyx stick correctors I use my finger to tap. After foundation I use an under eye brightener I use a tapered concealer brush and blend a tiny bit where the creases are. Then I use puff and work powder into puff and tap off excess. This has taken me ages to work out it doesn’t get rid of crease but it doesn’t look crepey. Little bit at a time. Xx

[@pull_up_the_roots]

Just have to tell you that I have learned SO so much from your channel, and as a result, I have so much fun and take so much pleasure in trying all these techniques you recommend. I've tried multiple different products, mix things, and play around in the same way that I approach art and design in my professional life. Makeup is just another extension of my creativity and your channel and all the advice you've given over the years has truly inspired me to play and explore makeup as a fun outlet of self expression!

[@sleepdestroyer27]

100% agree. Technique, inspiration, play, and practice all come together!!

[@jessica1580]

I love the Pixi Makeup Fixing Mist. The sprayer isn’t the greatest but the formula works so well for me. Whenever I’ve put a little too much makeup on or look a little too powdery, I spray that on and it’s like magic. Brings my skin back to looking like skin.. melts everything together and gives a healthy sheen. I also find that it does help my makeup last longer than if I hadn’t used it. No one ever talks about that product but I love it, have used it for years.

[@Lizzyplush]

Ooh, spoiler. Lisa hasn’t launched the concealer pencils yet. Can’t wait!

And i just bought a pillow. The 15% really helped, so thank you.

[@ilenochka74]

Foundation mixing IS magic! Moreover, sometimes I add a little sheer liquid blush (EM Cosmetics ones are the best) to balance the shade and make my favorite matte long-lasting foundations slightly more sheer and moisturizing. Love your tips!

[@Chlo175]

What shades did you use from Lisa Eldridge’s upcoming concealer pencil?

[@deannaabbott8241]

I found you and you have inspired me to actually take time and try to do my makeup again. You look natural and amazing.

[@anjieinwonderland]

YOUR MAKEUP! You look stunning. My favorite look of yours all year!

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

Your new hairdo looks great! As someone who is older, I can second your tip about being serious about your skincare. I'm not into fillers/botox etc, but I definitely am consistent about taking care of my skin. It makes a HUGE difference in how my makeup goes on. It doesn't have to be expensive products either. Side note..I have one of those Sephora puffs. They're great, but they hate the washer, even in a lingerie bag. I recommend hand washing them 😂!

[@jenimoores2436]

Really hope that you filmed this make up cos it is totally gorgeous on you ❤ Useful points to really take as my new years resolution xx

[@AlexandraAnele]

@@jenimoores2436 yes I did! It’ll be up next 😘

[@JillKnapp]

Ooof, your hair looks fabulous! I chuckled over the phrase "decrease in creasing." Happy, safe, joyful new year, folks! ❤

[@marygillespie2028]

Great video - thank you! I only do a little foundation mixing, but you've inspired me to do more in 2025. I'm 63 with dry skin. The best method I've found to prevent concealer creasing under my eyes is: 1. Skin prep - Alex is SO right! 2. Silicone-based primer such as Lancome La Base Pro. Don't skip this if you have dry mature skin. 3. Apply glowy corrector such as Beauty Pie 4. Apply setting spray using a damp beauty blender (if you're mature, avoid those with alcohol) 5. Apply the tiniest amount of concealer (Alex is right again - less is more!) 6. Apply the tiniest amount of Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder 7. Apply setting spray with a damp beauty blender I can't wait to get my hands on the Lisa Eldridge concealer pens!!!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Also 63 with very dry skin, and I never use primer, glowy corrector, setting spray, or powder under my eyes. And yet I don't seem to have much of a problem with creasing. Or, maybe I don't notice it.

I’ve been mixing my foundations as well and as much as that really annoys me, custom blends always come out amazing. Currently it’s the about-face L2olive and Danessa myricks vision cream N03 to create a beautiful color and finish. Set with a little huda pound cake 🤌🏼🤌🏼AND it lasts all day long. But first and foremost, I couldn’t agree more that my skincare is #1. Honestly starting the night before making sure I’m treating my skin right and when I wake up starting that hydration. Anywhoodles, I hope you have a great new year boo! Love ya Alex ❤️

Great tutorial, thank you! I have a question, what's the difference between setting mist and setting spray? Can they be used interchangeably, or is the spray only for the last touch (so not in between steps like you used the mist)?

Happy New Year Alex!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Lifewitharielmarie]

What are your favorite setting sprays?

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Alex, thanks for the video. My makeup seems to last well without any special steps, and I'd guess that's because I have very dry skin. I'm sure it helps that I moisturize pretty well before I apply it. I don't use much powder, and especially never under my eyes, because, dry skin. Of course, I can't speak for those with oily skin.

[@paulinecrawford139]

Your hair looks great Alex. Thank you for the great tips

[@eyeheartautomata]

Alex, I have been using this Linda Halberg Crayon in the color Greige which I have always wondered if you have tried. I think you might like it. It's kinda Lime Crime Taupest-y. Slightly more green-brown than that though, but it's multi-use formula; lips, eyes, etc. I like it for a no makeup day eyeliner. (:

[@spinfan1]

Love your look today. Great tips. Thank you and Happy New Year.

[@Ridiculyssa]

Could you do a video specifically about creasing around the mouth/in smile lines? I have a chronic skin condition that often causes redness/texture around my mouth, so instinctively I want coverage there, but I always end up with wild creasing in my smile lines within a few hours. 😩

[@MonicaRubio]

Fair,I heed. But what was the lip combo you wore for that recent drugstore NYE look? I love it

[@pamfournier1985]

Should you use a setting mist or a powder after you apply tinted moisturizer? Or is that more for full coverage foundation?

[@jordanalexis214]

Mixing foundations yes!!!!! I’ve been doing this for years because i feel like most foundations are either on one side of the spectrum being full matte, and the other side being full dewy, hardly any are actual satin foundations. But mixing gives you benefits of both foundations
