"alexis michelle your native american couture left the judges with some reservations" favorite pun from season 9

[@shonenamv6025]

Moon Doll reservations were plots of land the us federal government set aside for native Americans when they forced them to move out of their tribes . It's pretty sad but the joke was hilarious

[@marckid93]

I flatlined when Russian said that lmfao

[@MrEquusQuagga]

"Russian"

[@froufroudeluxe]

"Don't joke about that"

[@tatitunteja]

"Honestly..."

[@Hannalovesujedward]

Something about her voice or the way she talks and explains things made this tutorial feel really educational, I just can't point out what!

[@rebekahhallman6776]

Hanna Laitinen totally agree! I could spend hours listening to her doing makeup tutorials 😅

[@TheChannelJ1]

She articulate. That's the word.

[@diegoalonso3148]

s*

[@markmilburn3440]

She's a great tutor, articulate & clear spoken. Wasn't a huge fan of hers towards the end of her run on RPD, but I think alot of that was her age/body issues getting to her. She strikes me as a nice gal, hopefully it will all turn out good for her.

[@alexsudati]

I think the opposite, so long-winded imo. The makeup is fierce tho

[@vickylikesthis]

If only she was this funny during the roasting challenge

[@lonelytoker_3409]

jhubeJELLO BUT SHE WAS GREEN 😂

[@onrethegoddess2410]

Vicky Likes This i

[@dilline2233]

I think people have to realise that the show was filmed over a year ago, and it's a reality TV show. None of the people posting hate even know Alexis in real life, I wasnt the biggest fan of her on the show but actually hating another human being based on their appearance on a reality TV show is really disappointing and hopefully doesn't reflect where the fan base is going.

[@ohthefracking8788]

Its so sad to see all this hate, I thought it was a joke at first but its been actual hate which is really not necessary, these fans are crazy, Hating on Nina for winning a lipsync fairly, Alexis for deserving her placement, and Cynthia for her personality yet she's the one with the most personality.

[@magdawatson7593]

honestly, alexis outside of the show seems absolutely lovely. the mug is unclockable and SHE WORKS H A R D. just cause a queen doesnt fit into drag race too well doesnt mean shes a bad queen.. im excited to she what she does beyond the show and i hope all the damn hate shes doesnt weigh her down. if y'all can find a way to forgive phiphi, ya can forgive alexis

[@vicki9937]

If your reference for Alexis is only what you saw on the show, do your research henny. She's like a nice mom outside of the show. Competition brings the worst out of people.

[@magdawatson7593]

Vicki i had never heard of her until the show and for a while i didnt bother with research, but after last episode i did and oh BOY was my perspective warped.

[@vicki9937]

I didn't know her until the show either, but I always search youtube for performances and interviews with the girls before the show airs because I know editing can be a bitch. Charlie Hides did a really nice interview with Alexis on Charlie's channel if you want to check it out.

[@magdawatson7593]

Vicki I've seen that!! ''Tis nice. I didn't really realise how much of a difference editing makes until recently (I haven't been watching this show for long at all) when people played around with audience response on the roast challenge. Now I make a point to look around a little more, most of the time I'm pleasantly surprised

[@vicki9937]

Ever since i started to hear rugirls say they got "the bad edit" or "they edited me to look like a bitch", I always double check. Some queens save fans from bullets and others leak a queen's phone number...

[@ZombieBitchOP]

her mug is so underrated, it's so pretty and polished

[@TheReySkywalker]

REAL fans of the show don't hate on ANY of the queens. Love Alexis! I think she's great!

[@RayzOfSunye]

Y'all might think she lives for drama she just wants you to feel mawma

[@CatieKoala]

you did not

[@olivuh3186]

Sunye no, we don't think that

[@olivuh3186]

She took "so take a glue stick" and turned it into a college dissertation

[@asteriadiana]

I love how everyone does their makeup so differently. This was awesome to watch! Loved it!

[@asteriadiana]

I'm also obsessed with that tiny mirror she is using!

[@Blocktheworldout]

I don't care what y'all say I love her 😂😭

[@ladiiblue2u634]

I love her too

[@LOST_SOUL333]

Sameee

[@blackmonday738]

Foe Show, but if I wore all that make up I would have pimples. Or my face would blow up.🤘😄

[@rudolphhermez1559]

I just fall un love of HIM

[@GhEttOEthi0pianAnGel]

[@KnightOfZero89]

The only thing that could have made this look even better are some turquoise embellishments.

[@mia2791]

SO.MUCH.DETAIL!!! She looks fucking gorgeous!!!

[@ListenToYourX]

You can say anything you want but that mug is unclockable.

[@alecgarcia4718]

spigel oh really? what are some tips you recommend as a drag queen to fix those things?

[@milamarshall9597]

Laimonas Skarbalius girl what? No. That nose is contoured so bad

[@ChristalJ]

Laimonas Skarbalius sometimes. I don't always like how white her highlight is in some of her looks.

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

Christal J I agree, but I think she likes that blown out photograph look. and it does draw the eye up.

[@cereyza]

spigel as someone who ACTUALLY does drag makeup, her mug is really good, and she knows a lot about what works and what doesn't. shut up with your no drag (makeup) knowledge mouth.

[@daohung713]

Don't send hate to Alexis, cause love trumps hate

[@mige14linares14]

her verse in C.L.A.T was even worse than Roxxys' on Read U Wrote U and that's actually impressive...but not in a good way

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

Micah Leon what made you the judge of all music to decide what's good or bad you just have an opinion and some people may agree but it's not a fact so don't state it as a fact

[@deadmanwonderland5340]

Dao Hung ugh trump.

[@mige14linares14]

lol you just made you look like an 8 year old saying that, i'm no one to judge that's right boo, but i have the right to say my opinion soooo even if you don't like what i'm saying i'm totally going to say it either way. just because someone doesn't agree with you that doesn't mean i should shut up 🙄

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

Micah Leon but the fact that your are saying it as a fact is what I just said you should express your opinion in way that is clear instead of looking like a fact

[@KristinYo69]

I loved when she sung "I Need a Hero" in Shrek 2! Such an emotional moment.

[@kenietyree9799]

girl.

[@lovemishhha4003]

Kristin Cummins that's how you do shade

[@Novjuly]

Actual shade, not just bitchy, tired comments. I love it lol

[@full_montie]

IM SCREAMING

[@ztellarvibrationz8753]

OH MY GOD I CAN'T ROFL

[@jonothoncross2882]

All I can say is that I love Alexis to pieces. Her mugs are the fiercest on season 9, she has amazing theatrical talent and no matter what happened on the show, she never gave up. A true, fierce queen who I hope to see someday.

[@alexandrblanco876]

AS3 BITCHESSSSSS

[@viktoria666aleinik]

Alexis's man self (i don't know his real name) is really handsome!

[@viktoria666aleinik]

and the way his voice softens during the tutorial!

[@pramod.2001]

Viktoria Aleinik his name is Alex

[@tb3685]

Drag name Alexis Michele and boy name Alex Michaels. He just feminized his given name.

[@ellie7196]

Ikr hes so cuteee

[@leamcclain1648]

He sure is!

[@chill22girl]

Alexis is the first Queen I’ve seen that does her contour first, I love how different everyone does their makeup routine. It makes me want to switch mine up and try different things.

[@helenapopotinha2755]

i wasn't really rooting for her on this season, but a lot of this comments here are just mean.

[@TehStupidBish]

People can't make the difference anymore. If it ain't their favorite, it can't be anyones.

[@evangelinecheng8934]

All the nasty comments already within the first minute of upload. Really queen?

[@thedavidj1996]

Evangeline Cheng I mean. We are just meeting Alexis on her level of nastiness

[@judybudy5921]

David Jensen you can't be mad a someone for being nasty if you're nasty yourself. Plus none of y'all even know her ... it's a bit pathetic to be this bothered by someone you don't know LOL.

[@specialed5055]

Youre right, people dont know her.......thats why they are judging her by the way she portrayed herself in the show. She was a bitch, shes getting hate, get over it. No one will care in a week....

[@migsdemesa2270]

Am I the only one who imagined Bianca Del Rio saying "Really Queen" then followed by her laugh? 😂

[@Jen-ju8st]

I feel like its mainly the younger immature audience. So desperate for thing to hate at. They claim they want drama on the show but attack queens for saying the slightest thing they dont like, maybe none of them are making the show interesting bc they know how easily set off you assholes are lmao. so petty hating someone over a few sets of 40 minute long overly edited clips lnao

[@mandyramsey2807]

I've literally only seen people complain *about* people complaining about Alexis Michelle

[@katiac8346]

I could spend hours listening to Alexis speaking. I really enjoyed how she explained every detail. She's beautiful ❤️

[@MsCherade9]

She's actually a really sweet person, full of good advice and support. I'm becoming a fan. Also she has a beautiful clevage!

[@agnespenney5890]

This is the most detailed makeup tutorial I think, she explained it so well and even gave measurements when she was doing her eyeliner. I honestly feel like I learned something here and that usually never happens when I watch makeup tutorials. I usually just watch them and admire it and wish I could do it, but here, she gave specific instructions and she looked beautiful afterwards. Thankyou Alexis!

[@gabe6495]

Her promo was honestly the best of the season haha

[@R4tB4by]

lol @people commenting irrelevant hate because they know they can't clock her makeup

[@krwlngblue]

Exactly!

[@nprovenghi271]

i love that she named dropped shannel b/c now i can't stop seeing their similarities, love that and love how alexis was the most "teacherly" of the queens who've done tutorials!

[@dn2021]

Alexis- this was one of the best makeup tutorials of all time. You were super thorough, precise, and professional. You should do way more of these. You are great at explaining what you do

[@fuglychicken5696]

All this hate for alexis is so unnecessary. Shes a good queen , shes smart , shes sickening and shes fucking gorgeous. There has been more queens with more of a "bad attitude" then her yet they dont get this amount of hate. Who knows what was going on in her head while on drag race. I know something was dragging her down and made her feel like her sisters didnt help her with her outfits..

[@nagisamomoe2033]

Fugly Chicken Don't lie, the reason why I don't like her is because of her attitude of "Why didn't you tell me that my look wasn't good?" Like it's not their job to say it. Just because you give someone advice doesn't mean that they need to give 1 to you either.

[@joker80james]

Cool, she has a personality flaw. Im sure if you went on national tv someone will point out your flaws too. People take things too personally.

[@chuyistheshiz6811]

love it she is stunning

[@izzytilley1583]

I wish more makeup tutorials were like this, no trying to sell products, just a genuine desire to teach an audience skills.

[@CarterWilliamsofficial]

Honestly this is my favourite one of these videos she was so informative and her New York accent coming through was brilliant love you gurl❤️

[@carlosr2217]

Guys can we please stop the hate towards Alexis? she's sickening and I'm sure she's a good person.

[@thedavidj1996]

Charles R you haven't watched untucked obviously.

[@carlosr2217]

Of course I have. The show was filmed almost a year ago. And that's just a TV show. People needs to get over it.

[@chaoticneutral8040]

David Jensen That's called reality tv. Get over yourself, moldy mayonnaise

[@Aureovulpes]

David Jensen honey stop looking excuses to hate. lol i see you in all the comments looking for reasons to hate, i mean really?

[@mige14linares14]

This comments are the one that are making Rupaul's Drag Race boring :/ i remember watching season 2 and 3 and girl the girls were on a competitive mood. now they are like ``I'm sorry that you are sorry that she is sorry that she said that you are a little annoying´´ like biiitch Tati and Tyra are still fighting and their season was like 7 years ago this is becoming more and more boring

[@evrena5210]

"We're not Scientologists, don't worry about going clear" lol

[@007BlackCanary]

I really liked this makeup look from the promos and it looks even better here. I really loved the purple brow.

[@micaelafagan8554]

I met her in New York recently and she was SO kind and FRICKIN' GORGEOUS. Love you, Alexis!!

[@jmiller05]

Say what you want about her fashion, but I think she's one of the best make-up artists we've seen on the show.

[@jae7798]

why yall being nasty at miss alexis what the fuck????

[@cilloranfisher7276]

Alexis is brilliant. The play on the purple eyebrow! So creative! She explains everything exactly with such fastidiousness. She leaves no room for ambiguity and I have 100% respect for that. Go girl!!

[@user-xr5kp6qz8g]

She explains all the tricks and steps so well! And she looks stunning as always

[@MommyOfZoeAndLiam]

I know she wasn't everyone's favorite, but you've got to appreciate the attention to detail. She explained it well. I learn a lot from these tutorials even though I don't wear drag makeup. Watching someone map out a new face on top of their boy face really helps me understand where shadows should be and the shapes I like for eyes and liner. I actually liked Alexis, but it was her time to go. I'm excited for the top 4. (Edited for typos)

[@fiftyclown]

it's so calculated and structured, i never thought makeup could be so mathematical haha. i think alexis took the "tutorial" part of the process to literally

[@23yannah]

Loved her eye glitter makeup during the show. One of the best makeup. Finally some explaining to me step by step without going too fast. N Finally learned why my glitter never hold. Thank u a bunch!

[@exakt8911]

I could listen to him/her talk for hours. His voice is so soothing. Love the mug!

[@tonitrus553]

Alexis had me hooked on day one... everything else was... choices.

[@thechriscastilloo549]

Nicholas Ong bitch I feel you. I love her but damn, she was not what she was hyping herself up as.

[@tonitrus553]

[@abanda51765]

Nicholas Ong wel she made it far tho

[@tonitrus553]

[@mysticalmidnightmask]

holy crap, she REALLY paints.

[@lucaortolani2059]

I love how she explains everything, like I needed that, I want her as my drag mom

[@JonFlores275]

Her mug is fucking amazing. I love how detailed she is in this tutorial, but I absolutely love this style and hair color on her.

[@evang.6771]

I love how stans worship Valentina for her kindness, but send hate towards other queens like Alexis and Nina. Don't get me wrong, I love Valentina, but really queen?

[@vickylikesthis]

Please stop with the hate, people. =( Anyways, you go Alexis Michelle!

[@leontoeides]

Nah.

[@stephanieelise33]

To me, this was the most drastic i have ever seen someone go from, to. So talented and just wow.

[@mushroomstan4027]

honestly all these after elimination videos are so relaxed and everyone looks so good and we get to see what the queens are like without so much pressure on them. alexis is so nice here i love it

[@DavidLee-ph8mp]

Just watching and listening to her tutorial, I'm freaking EXHAUSTED!!! Her makeup application process is not your typical way of applying makeup, but it all came together nicely finally.

[@chaoticcrayon9866]

She's so talented! And she looks so pretty too ☺️

hi, if you're reading this and are about to comment something negative about her, just don't. its an unnecessary waste of your energy, do sth that is worth your energy, thank you. 🌈

if you put more energy in your ugly ass mug to the point where i don't wanna throw up when i look at you sure i'll consider your words of wisdom, until then, sit your ass down.

[@pulaskishayblock]

, i think this is my favorite drag tutorial out of ALL of them😍😍😍😍😍 she looks absolutely fucking stunning 💜

[@TheLesliePink]

she sure is right when she said it's amazing how ugly drag makeup can start and how beautiful it can get bc during EVERY single one of these videos i get to a point where i think there's no way the makeup could possibly end up looking good but i'm always proven wrong at the end...... well except with trixie lol

[@robertfruchey8285]

Trixie’s makeup is supposed to be ridiculous, not glamorous.

I hated most if not all Alexis' looks. But stop with the hate, people. The competition and the looks are one thing. But we are supposed to support each other and stay together as a community, not throw each other down like the rest of the world does.

[@bajubner]

I'm obsessed with how extra she is with her makeup. 16 foundations and 57 powders I LIVE

[@maycoleman7348]

You're a very pretty man Alexis. And I like how understated you are. At first I thought you were sad but I realized when off the main stage and as a man you're just a lot more personable. I lived for you before but really like this look into more of you. Slay MawMuh‼️😘

Wasn't my favorite queen, but probably one of the prettiest imo.

[@travismaupin6617]

[@MrsTold]

Her voice is really soothing :)

[@abbigirl1998]

I thought Alexis Michelle was completely underrated and was critiqued way too harshly. Her makeup was ALWAYS slaying and even though her looks weren't always #1 I feel like she made soo much effort to step out of the box, even if it was executed the best. I am a huge fan and thought she deserved every ounce of praise she got and deserved so much more.

[@laurenpixie8896]

I really love those lips

[@creonpotier]

Everyone keeps whining about stop the hate yet i keep scrolling and dont see any. There are more comments about stopping the hate then actual hate comments.

[@ajolotitoshow5542]

She looks incredible, a very beautiful queen!!! I love her so much on RuPaul Drag Race Season 9

[@Marshalsalley96]

Never understood the hate Alexis got for making it so far. It's not like SHE was the one making the decisions of who stayed and left. Was she a lil annoying at times? Yes. But who isn't?? And I'm almost positive she knows waaay more about Drag than the 13 year Olds throwing all this hate her way!

[@maartenderks5810]

I mean feel about her how you will but I liked Alexis' tutorial. She has a really nice way of explaining her process

Lmao it's so funny that y'all think you know someone just because you watched a couple episodes of them on a tv show..without Alexis you wouldn't have had a "villain" this season and considering there was virtually no drama, season 9 wouldn't have made for very good tv.
