EYESHADOW TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS (Very Detailed!)

[@BelleOfThaBall]

You are so well spoken. You explained the product and the reason for it very well. For someone like me who doesn't really know anything about makeup but has recently become interested in it, I was able to follow along and understand the reasons why my previous makeup attempts didn't quite work. I don't really like the "full beat/baked" look and rather a more natural look so this was very helpful-nothing too dramatic. Thank you, I was able to follow and 'mimic' to achieve the look I wanted.

[@cheyannes.7171]

Key point: matte concealer to prep eyelids. If you use a creamy concealer that is not matte, you will have to set it with (translucent) setting powder, otherwise it would crease up and your eyeshadow wont look smooth and flat.

[@mp4455]

Good point

[@kieshapaul]

Thanks! But what brush was used (flat brush a 2:42)

[@Boyd1234]

You ever just get the urge to throw allllll your makeup away and start fresh? Im there.

I’m so grateful for your brush details ! I’m 52 and learning a completely different way of doing make up these days ☺️

[@AleJay]

i am glad you enjoyed this video and it was helpful

[@EM-sk3sc]

I've come back to this tutorial like 9 times. Every time I want to do an eye look for a special occasion I come back for these basics - you're a wonderful teacher!

[@Peppermintmocha13]

This is the most detailed tutorial that was easy to follow and understand. I love how you broke down and explained what colors to use on each part of the eyelid, as well as explained how to apply each color. Thank you again for this tutorial!

[@MsArlet08]

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! Girl, this is a freaking fantastic tutorial. One of BEST I've seen - so so helpful with the brushes, sizes, shapes, reasons, SLOW, and steady application and explanations. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! This is totally doable and I can't wait to try it. Eyeshadow / winged look is my Achilles heel - and you've made this actually doable.

[@patriciaharris6422]

THIS is a tutorial hunty! Finally, someone who is actually skilled at TEACHING what they know.

[@AleJay]

Awww thank you 💕

[@liltokyo0o]

This is the best eye shadow tutorial I’ve seen

[@AleJay]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@nofakesallowed6377]

YEAH RIGHT SHE TAUGHT TAUGHT

[@theoriginldw]

i buy a lot of eyeshadow palettes with the intention of using them knowing full well i don’t know how. it’s about time i grow up and learn 😭

[@magdarodriguez9374]

Me too 😂😂😂

[@magdarodriguez9374]

Me too 😂😂😂

[@SamellaLivas]

Me too!

[@laryneskridge-williams7200]

For real girl, buy an entire palette and only use two shades with the same brush, no blending, thinking I'm cute 😊

[@GlobalTravelLady]

Facts I'm ready to start using the makeup that I have... I don't know of what I'm doing, but the colors are all so pretty

[@cynthiabartee5471]

This was an excellent tutorial. I have been wearing make up for years but I love the way women wear makeup today and I am learning a lot about brushes and blending. This is a great one!

[@Cuke-yx5td]

I totally agree. She took her time and explained each step, including which brush to use! Great tutorial.

[@sweetbaby00000000]

This is truly one OF THE MOST detailed eyeshadow tutorial I have seen here on UTube. Not only did you explain which concealer or primer to use but you explained which brushes to use and why you are using them. And exactly where to place you shadows. You did an amazing job and by the way your makeup is flawless. Thanks for sharing. I am going to add this to my play list and so I can practice. Oh by the way how do you know what colors to use that will look great on your skin tone or does that even matter.

[@Sultry61]

Loved it. She’s beautiful and it wasn’t overdone. I don’t know how to apply makeup and I felt this was easy to follow.

[@marian.9026]

Thank you for this! I'm 41 and makeup has come such a long way since the 90s and early 00s. I'm only now starting to learn. So excited to find such a wonderful truly beginners video!

[@coconuts0824]

Thank you so much for placing the brush on your palm to show size, so many tutorials don't do that and I can't get a sense of how big the brush is and if I have something comparable!

[@TheHolisticBabe]

Wow! The fact that I get to learn this and wear this look is such a blessing. Absolutely love!!! Thank you!

[@allisonbrunelle5022]

Literally, the BEST eye shadow tutorial I have ever seen!!! Thank you!

[@AleJay]

aww thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the video

[@coconuts0824]

This was a great tutorial for me, I've been trying to get the right transition shade for my skin tone and many pallette brown color shades don't show up on my skin since I'm South Asian. But the way you described a couple shades darker got me the right brown for my skin tone.

[@laryneskridge-williams7200]

Thank you so much for this detailed make-up tutorial. I am 38 years old, modeled, had make-up professionally done, and picked up tips here and there, but have never had anyone explain to me what brushes to use, how, and why. You're beautiful, flawless, and Queen.

[@redneckbeautywithdebra6888]

Hello honey (from Texas👋) you look so beautiful and thanks so much for all the advice. I'm a 51 year old MUE since I was 5 and watch beginner videos all the time. I want to learn something new everyday of my life. You, sweet girl, have introduced me to a couple of new brushes, so thank you again. Stay groovy ✌❤🎵😎💃

[@AleJay]

Thanks so much and I’m really glad you enjoyed 🥰

[@latricesmalls6128]

Amazing tutorial. N straight to the point. I love how u broke it down n Gave the reason for why u were doing what u were n the pictures of the brushes!

Sis!!! I am 40 years old, and for my entire life I never understood why my eyeshadow tended to muddy up into one mass color despite blending with multiple tones. Thank you for sharing the importance of PRECISION and using the right brush for your eye size.

[@pennyjackson8846]

Stumbled across this tutorial I really like how you detail and explain each thing you’re doing this is really good for someone like me who don’t wear eyeshadow much and never truly learned how to put it on thank you

I feel like this video should have blown up way more. I actually found this because I was trying to find a video to re-create Ariana Grande’s current look, which is exactly what this look is. Maybe put her in your tags so when people look for Ariana Grande make up, this pops up because it deserves all the love and views. This video is amazing. Thank you.

[@corazones757]

Ale Jay! This was by far the most informative video I have watched. What I appreciate the most is your commentary on brush size. I had no idea that I should have smaller brushes and it was so great when you were very specific on how to apply the make up. I am so excited to try these techniques.

[@mrs.brittany5505]

I found your channel a few weeks ago - didn't realise I hadn't subscribed until today :) anyhow I just wanted to comment and thank you for your videos. In a world of BILLIONS of makeup tutorial youtube videos - yours truly stand out. I dont believe that simply applying makeup in a camera while people watch and not explain a single thing you are doing is an actual tutorial but unfortunately that is what commonly now passes for one so thank you for explaining everything in detail and allowing me to actually LEARN something. You are a pleasure to watch very soft and well spoken very thorough and I am here for it!!!
