Aly, I’m not sure if you take video requests but i was wondering if you could maybe do a video about different nose types and shapes, kind of like your videos about lip fillers and beauty standards? I know i speak for many people when i say that I’m not the most confident about my nose and it’d be amazing to see your perspective on nose shapes and how the ideal of modern beauty standards have changed expectations!

[@Fatima-pf4yf]

[@aikaterineillt9876]

Beauty standards are objective, they never changed and they never will. That is the very unfortunate and very unfair truth. There is a science behind aesthetics. Asking the person to describe noses in hopes she will portray yours in a euphemistic way is just ridiculous, self-serving BS. Besides, the nose is not even one of the features of major importance. There are other features and proportions/ratios that matter far more. That’s why there are very attractive people who don’t have little button noses, and very unattractive people with perfect noses. Unless you got your nose screwed over during rhinoplasty (very common, sadly), have an insanely huge/beak like protrusion or suffer from rhinophyma-if you have other major proportions and features at play-it really will not matter. In fact, you will just look less bland, and more interesting.

[@kristellu]

In soft colored women you can also notice that their lip color tends to blend into their skin

[@not-a-russianbot8845]

I have this problem. My top lip has no clear colour separation. Which is annoying because if I fill my top lip in with lipliner by following the shape without going OVER my natural lip I actually notice that I have quite full and rounded lips. However the contrast between my top lip (and lips in general) to my skin tone is not very astheatically satisfying.

[@kv3762]

A fun color theory fact is that you don’t need to mix grey with a color to mute it, which we call desaturating it. You actually mix the opposite color on the color wheel with it. This keeps the grey/black from “killing the color.” If you mix your paints with a grey/black and then mix it with the opposite color on the wheel side by side, you can visually see the difference I’m talking about. Love the video. I’m a clear +1

[@bluebear4961]

to be honest i think soft people look ethereal, its like you dont see them immediately but once you do you keep watching and you cant stop because every part of them look so perfectly coordinated and made for them you get it? like their eyes are made for their skin and their skin is made for their hair and they are very unique in that way so to all the people who may have felt bad about yourself please dont, you're beautiful, beauty comes in many, many different ways and forms and unseen beauty is often considered more precious :)

[@lo4568]

This video makes so much sense! I felt very ashamed of my skin tone for quite some time. Everyday I went home after school, looked at myself in the mirror and thought "I look dead". The reason why I thought this was because I have a pretty neutral undertone, but there is some oliveness there (my mother and her parents have super olive skin, but my father and his parents have more neutral/leaning towards golden/yellowish tones). I also have very dark undereye circles (it's genetics), but I always wore glasses that were a very rich, clear brown colour. They looked awful on me and I thought there was something wrong with my skin. I even bought skincare products to brighten (not lighten, just brighten) my skin because I thought I needed it. Now I know that bright, clear colours don't look good on me and they wash me out. Once I started wearing colours that suited me, I felt like the prettiest girl in the entire room. I know understand that colours with more of a grey hint to them look better on me than clear colours (for example: an olive shirt looks better on me than a bright dark green one). An although I have a very neutral undertone, I don't wear really cool colours either. I can finally embrace my undertone and feel good about myself.

[@Iden_Elihio_1999]

There is no 100% neutral undertone .... Watch Merriam Style' artistic liscense vid ..... She is much more specific amd explains the undertones very well ...... The way she describes it is there are ....... 1 .Cool /bright - Clear Cool 2. Cool/ Delicate - Grey Cool 3. Warm /Bright - Clear Yellow 4. Warm/Delicate - Soft yellow

So it is not all that bad, the main thing is to know what suits you and what doesn’t and you can look great. I have also heard that soft types look very mysterious and interesting like fairies and I kind of agree with this. Also, as a bonus, soft types usually age much better than clear types. We loose that clearness and contrast with age and it is really visible on clear types while soft types look pretty much the same throughout their life😀

This is very helpful because I don't believe I've come across any version of the seasonal colour theory that accounts for the fact that a person can have colouring that is dark and soft/muted at the same time. Okay now that we know those of us with a certain "dusty" cast have the lamps in our face turned off, I hope you can talk a bit about the possible advantage of this colouring when wearing the right colours, and what colours look best. Personally I don't believe muted colouring necessarily means always looking best in neutral or very muted colours. Bright colours can be more flattering, just not too bright but rather with some degree of softness or depth to them. Then again I probably have some complicated mixture of muted and clear qualities.

I have very fair skin and dark blond hair and bright blue eyes (my eyes themselves really stand out with contrast within the white and pupils and a darker ring like you showed). I look kinda dead and pale if I wear soft muted colours. And I can do both black and white super well, both giving me healthy skin coloring, which is of course rare for blonds.

Same for me. Maybe u are wearing a cool color(that's what the problem is 4 me) try a very warm color. It also could be the opposite

[@Ana-sj5xx]

Maybe it's about the shade. Try AlexandrasGirlyTalk's video on colour.

[@komfykoala6083]

Do you know if you are cool or warm? If you are cool and wearing warm colors, you can look washed out, and vice versa.

[@kylielovesnick5288]

Love how educated you are and that your sharing you knowledge before I found your channel I thought i was a lost cause because most tutorials I try just never end up looking that good on me and know I see why thank you so much....

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

The visuals and explanation really helped! Thank you.

[@dimavasilev5342]

Love your videos Aly, particularly your Kibbe breakdowns! Was wondering if there's any chance you could do one about tattoos and piercings for Kibbe types please? Understand if this might be a bit out there, but it would be great to get some ideas about what body modifications might suit different types. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@neonbuildings]

i've been thinking about this recently! so cool that this video came up on my feed. while i have dark brown eyes, my limbal ring is even darker and quite thick. i also have wavy patterns in my eyes that are a bit lighter. it might be hard to tell that they're "clear" from far away, but you can tell when you're closer to me or if we're outside in natural light. after believing brown eyes were boring for so long, i'm happy to finally find such complex beauty in them. thank you for these videos! they're amazing.

[@noirettebeauty]

Aly, i appreciate you and your videos. You are the few YTers whose videos I can re-watch and keep learning something new and enjoy watching each time. Keep being you❤️

[@morro8785]

Thank you so much! I finally start to understand my hair and skin tone. I was never sure if I'm more on the warmer or cooler side, because the obvious warm or cool colors never really worked on me. 🙂

[@ernestonunez2400]

I thought being bright was the same to have high contrast ,thank you that helps a lot good job

[@seekngeek]

Thanks for the video. Finally I understand the meaning of 'soft' and 'clear' in seasonal color analysis.

[@anjela8411]

She just called me grey for 20mins straight

[@schnioula]

Wow. KZbin these days is all about copy and paste other people's work. This one youtuber stole this whole video idea. I just now realized it! How sad. Love your channel Aly.

[@FreeMarketSecularist]

I think I know which one you're talking about

[@schnioula]

KatMarie So much work is put into these educational videos and someone else just stole it. What a shame!

[@schnioula]

"Game changer" "life changing" 😑

[@jsmum196]

Dressing Your Truth is one to consider studying. It's one that is perfected and easy to know your type and all that goes with you, personality to fashion to colors etc.

[@ihateshowering]

Hi Aly, I really like your content! Thank you for your work! Could you please make a video of this years Oscars red carpet looks and if the women are wearing their body type lines or not. I still struggle to see which is my body type, and find it helpful with real-life examples.

[@Vaskitsa]

I feel like what you are describing in this video is pretty much saturation :) Interesting points.

I am always so excited for tbis videos, and always end up being the exact middle. 0 contrast and classical body type

[@madhushapoonuru6556]

So I am warm, +1 and clear, interesting 🤔now I need guidance on what makeup/hair/clothes suit me. Aly you are doing God's work 😍💕😌💯💯

[@alisoncolles1337]

I love how much more inclusive you are of other ethnicities in your more recent videos!

[@Sarah-ew2pp]

Omigod the mouse at 11:54 is so cute!!! Nobody could think looking mousy is bad after seeing that little darling.

[@tatid6743]

This is interesting...as an illustrator, someone who dabbles in painting, this is not at all how I mix skin tones, and we are taught to not use white or black to brighten/tone down the colors so now me and my old profs finna fight Also edit: as a woc who grew up in Wisconsin ..I’m dusty/soft in the winter and clear/bright in the summer...😂

[@MNae-td6pd]

I was thinking the same. This video really confused me because even the lighter completions have “grey” in them because there is always some mix of complementary colors.

[@amberfrazier5586]

I'm so glad you said what you said about the seasons. I always say I'm ashen brown in winter and everyone's like "what's ashen brown?" Its dull brown. But in summer I'm more of a brighter brown.

[@princesskittyXx]

Alternative title for this video: Are you just ashy or did you moisturize today?

[@身赤-w3w]

I had so many epiphanies about why it's hard for me to find a foundation shade 😭❤️ thank you

[@小雪はなこ]

omg!! you would love the japanese terminology for this! 1. yellow base vs. blue base for temperatue 2. spring summer is soft and autumn winter is clear. so you have often yellow spring or autumn and blue summer amd winter types! text me if you want to know more!

[@sanna_3941]

I am not even half way through your video... but I am loving the way you have explained things!!

[@youtubeaccount-yr6hb]

This clears it up for me. I'm soft and warm but not sure about how far dark or light I can go with colors.

[@olawillcocacola]

I always learn so much from your videos 😊 Thank you!

[@mamashiraz]

Good explanation but, being from Greece, I have to ask you where does olive skin, regardless of light or dark, fall? For me, finding the right foundation is nearly impossible!😞

[@PerrrsianCat]

Olive skin is considered neutral! Because olive has a lot of grey added to it. Choose neutral foundation shades

[@mamashiraz]

PerrrsianCat It really grey!! Like I look really sickly in winter!! In the summer, it’s more yellow but even those undertones look terrible!! There’s a makeup line (EX1) in Italy that caters to olive skin. I’m going to try it. Even neutral foundation don’t match. I need grey, green and a tad yellow!🤷🏻‍♀️

[@PerrrsianCat]

@@mamashiraz as a light olive, I feel your pain

[@mamashiraz]

Ha!! I got an idea and it doesn’t look bad: now I’m a redhead!! It’s pulling any red from my skin and I don’t look as sickly!😂
