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

[@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.

[@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!!!❤❤❤

[@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

[@lisalisa4316]

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

[@AlexandraAnele]

😩 thank you so much!

[@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!

[@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 😑

[@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! 💗

[@franettemcculloch3288]

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

[@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

[@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.💫❤

[@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!

[@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.

[@skylarbrittanyx]

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

[@helenbennett1093]

Skylar Britttany

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@smbarone2000]

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

[@katemurphy5773]

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

[@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!

[@shehnazakter717]

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

[@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! 😉

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 😑😂

[@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!

[@dublin201]

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

[@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!

[@Turan_95]

Best Eyeshadow Tutorial Ever!

[@Sam-ul4zq]

The way you explain things is immensely helpful.

[@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!!!

[@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!!!

[@teresajohnson7233]

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

[@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. 👍🏻

[@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 😉

[@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!!!!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@yaelifembotnikova]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@niambimoore4229]

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

[@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!

[@sherricarr6127]

I have watched a thousand videos here. Yours was the first that gave me instructions on what this process was about. I would like to see an eyeshadow tutorial like this one on a very hooded eye. You did a beautiful job. Thank you!!!!! 😉😉😉😃😃

[@yashny]

Thank you! I feel like I'm in a proper makeup class. Most videos are quite fast so I never got the details and always mess up. Yours is packed with techniques and details

[@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!

[@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!!

[@bonniedicostanzo7117]

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

[@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!!!

[@leceroe2485]

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

[@AlexandraAnele]

Thanks love!

[@mvong8531]

My favorite eye makeup tutorial by far

[@rupacc7]

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

[@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!

[@astronautann]

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

[@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.

[@pranjalipotdar5519]

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

[@bryannbrown1969]

Sooooooo how did I JUST find you TODAY!? You are everything!

[@AlexandraAnele]

😭❤️❤️❤️

[@futuresupernurse]

Bryann Brown watching this video gave me so much hope that my skills can and will improve

[@loricerecedes727]

Hello, just want to congratulate you on a fabulous lesson. I'm self taught also, but I still love to watch & see other techniques bc we still learn & yours are very similar to mine. Keep going, love the humour, patience & the love for makeup bc it's art. Thank you ! 😎💋💄👝🎨✌

[@RachyOh]

This video is excellent! I'd pay $$ to watch a training on all this led by you. Thank you -- you're a natural teacher

[@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!

[@misnitahir4568]

Ur explanation is so detail and it helps me a lot.. apparently I don’t know d principles behind d use of brushes..u’ve cleared my doubts..tqvm.. by d way, u r so beautiful..

[@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 😘

[@bedriddenbeauty6504]

Bringing down the shadow on the lower lashline is so flattering on just about everyone, especially on aging eyes, people should really go for it! Key is to just make sure the bottom edge is nicely blended out. I have hooded eyes from age, and the way to hide it is to just bring the darkest color just past the corner, then connect it to the bottom lashline shadows.

[@janelb7707]

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

[@mateooo1230]

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

[@zeenath5830]

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

[@aclamkhidda]

Best tutorial I’ve seen for those of us that struggle with eye makeup!! So many ah-ha moments! Thank you!

[@futuresupernurse]

Ah-ha is a very good description of the feeling watching this video.

[@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!!!!!!

[@angiedanielle78]

I absolutely love your videos on this stuff. I don't think any other you tuber does this and it's so helpful. I would love to see a video about brushes, the differences in natural hair and stippling and all the other kinds. And a bronzing and contouring would be great! Thanks

[@AlexandraAnele]

I'll definitely be doing a brushes video!

[@jmking1137]

I really appreciate this video. I love that you were teaching and explaing techniques that I could use with any color. Thank you

[@karrinadusablon9738]

I was taking notes the entire time sooooooo amazing

[@suziediva]

Best eye shadow tutorial I have watched so far!!!👌 Will definitely be practicing using these techniques & love the pallette you used. Thanks so much 🙏💖💖 Beautiful 😍

[@luckcangus]

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

[@mishmash3968]

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

[@michelebeck8129]

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

[@SamanthaLaneStrong]

I've been on the eyeshadow struggle bus for years, but your video just MADE SENSE. I finally created a blended look that didn't appear to have been my 7yo doing my makeup. So many videos skip over how to apply and why you're putting stuff where. My brain needs that info!

[@rocki__maa7549]

Thank you for all you do to help us! Have a great weekend hun!

[@Honey42O]

You're amazing! Thank you so much for making this! So many tutorials on here don't explain placement and technique well enough and thoroughly enough as you did and it was really helpful! 😍

[@snappiersocks]

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

[@pinkamy2992]

I just finished your new video on how to blend eye shadow and now I'm watching this one!

[@angelareade3324]

Probably the most helpful video I have watched on make up. Thank you x So glad I discovered you on here.

[@Loralarify]

This is sooo helpful.. new tricks and things I forgot that I knew! Sometimes we get so over enthusiastic about a new eye palette that we throw everything out and forget the fundamentals... so yeah, thanks so much!!!

[@selfdestructo10]

I love how you talk and work at the same time! Kept me watching. Great video!

[@futuresupernurse]

I really enjoyed this video.. I am a amateur makeup enthusiast and I love that you explained why you used each brush and what each brush had to offer.. thank you

[@AlexandraAnele]

So glad it helped!

[@bethanymcbride243]

This was incredibly helpful!!! Please keep doing more I want to learn as much as I possibly can!

[@melaniedavis6989]

This was the first time I saw your channel.... I'm blown away by both your make up and your instruction... Amazing! I've subbed and got notifications set so I see all your other videos now. Thank you for such a clear explanation!

[@Sigurjon543]

One of the best videos I’ve seen about eyeshadow. I remember when it clicked for me, that what I actually wanted to do was enhance my own lines and the way to accomplish that was to treat my eyes as a charcoal painting. I’ve convinced all my makeup enthusiast friends to subscribe as well. Well done!

[@Dawn_______]

So excited by this. Energized to try doing make up again. Thank you. Very well taught. Very clear explanations.

[@shhleeshhmaker9496]

LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW INFORMATIVE YOU ARE!!

[@Noorewok]

I wish that someone made a video like this when I first started my makeup journey. But nooooo, I had to get MAC brushes and only MAC brushes because that's what my favorite KZbinr's used. I finally branched out and purchased some Morphe brushes and I love them! I literally got 9 of them for the price of ONE mac brush! Great video as always, you're such a talented MUA.

[@AlexandraAnele]

😩 I feel you doll! Glad you finally found Morphe and loved them as much as me!

[@lolad5856]

What an amazing tutorial, so helpful and the finished look was amazing and flawless. I will definitely be applying your tips and tricks. Maybe you could give us nude/deep lip tutorials and what goes best with which eye makeup? Love love ❤️

[@teresaswanson4854]

Beautiful! I love when i learn something from a video, very helpful, thank you!

[@portiahouston305]

I really enjoyed this class. Please do more. I am going to show this one in my classroom. I teach cosmetology. Give us more!!😊

[@mittykitty8957]

Best eye tutorial I have ever seen!
