I love and appreciate that instead of being emberassed of your situation and hiding until your skin went back to its normal perfect self, you were vulnerable and used this as an opportunity to talk about it / make a tutorial! Love all the hard work you put into your channel, Alex! (and michael, of course haha)

[@sromo427]

I love how positive you are! You made the best out of a situation and used it to educate your viewers ! I think many other youtubers would stop making videos until it got better but you're so real and so personable!

[@pffftt1234]

love how you used this experience as an opportunity to educate us..your such a BOSS!😏

[@LindseyFox]

Melissa La Cour I was thinking the exact same thing!!

[@thehonestbeautyreview]

Wow thanks for opening my eyes to a dark orange corrector! I have been using a light pink corrector from bobbi brown for my sun spots. It does help, but I might have to test an orange shade! Thanks for the tip! 💗

[@misseshair8111]

You are SO right about people going crazy with the big triangles of foundation under the eyes! Not needed! But now I want that IT cosmetics SPF.

[@ShellTay32]

SO awesome you made this video. I had melasma REALLY badly until I had my son. I hated my skin, it looked dirty all the time. I too found a way to cover it but it took a while. It's great you put it all out there to help other people because YES you are so not the only one who has needed to cover something major on their face. xoxo

[@malloryg4251]

Which products do you use to conceal melasma? Also, which skin type do you have? I developed pretty bad melasma after taking birth control and I've been off it for years, but the melasma has remained. I also have very dry skin and some fine lines, so it's a struggle to find products that conceal everything, but don't look heavy and caky.

[@kelseyduran9421]

I love watching your videos. You're not like other you tubers I love that you stay original . You are so classy & really have a professional vibe I love that

[@cassius4177]

I just love your videos. Thank you for sharing. I too suffer from dark spots. Can't wait to try.

[@MalloryMileham]

I absolutely love the pink background! Love how informative your videos are!

[@Shelsyrose23]

The whole esthetic in this video is so inspiring. i love all the pink! Does the dark pigmentation hurt at all? i got something similar one time and it kinda hurt.

[@JessieUsry]

Shelsy Ponce yes it's so feminine and classy !

[@debbiepriebe8516]

Loved your video. I've been experiencing dark spots from sun damage on my face. The past year they have gotten even darker as I get older. I'm going to try your method. But wanted to know after you're done color correcting and putting the concealer over it did you also put your foundation on top of it? Thank you.

[@manelmanel6403]

can u do a video about facials and laser treatments you've been doing ? nobody talk about this topic on youtube thank you and you're great btw :*

[@jolibaby1]

"I'm flying to Chicago to meet a friend for dinner." LOL GIRL BOSS xx

[@stephan1emar1e]

Celine Sullivan I think you got mixed up. she's flying to Chicago for an Eco Tools meet up. She said she's meeting someone for dinner the night she gets there though.

[@jolibaby1]

I figured but it was just in the sequence she said it that was glamorous lol

[@aloragrainger]

You're the best ! Thanks for doing this video and being so open and real with us :)

[@MalloryMileham]

Was thinking the same thing! :)

[@kisstheskye2423]

LA girl is a lot cheaper then that if you have a beauty supply store near you its 2.99 some places 1.99... ive never paid more then that.

[@GomezOrGoHome]

I’m definitely going to be trying this! I’ve been trying to cover up my dark spots on the corners of my mouth! It happened so suddenly and it’s bothering me because I’m going to be flying to California soon!

[@MsPEACEJENNLOVE]

I love how the room turned out!!

[@beautybylauren0793]

Hi! Its so impressive that you were able to cover this up! I have been struggling with acne for so long and my derma is suggesting Accutane... I'm nervous and concerned that its too much. I am always in the sun since i sail and with summer its hard to not be outside. what should i do?!

[@thearnotts121]

So happy I found this video. I have a rather large dark spot that ranges in shades of brown/green and it looks like I was hit in the face. Its hyperpigmentation caused by pregnancy that never went away. I can’t wait to try this.

[@cindyzabaleta4070]

Thank you so much!!! I bought the La Girl corrector today and it completely covered my darkness. Huge fan ❤

[@carlyh3]

What is the best skincare product for acne scars? I have the epionce lyctic tx you mentioned in an old video on clearing acne. Does that help fade scars?

[@katrinakajal1294]

Thank you sooo much for this video!! Your sooo pretty!!! Have you always used these products? How well do you like them??❤️❤️

[@tamarat5475]

So what do you get done to your skin? Thinking about getting facials/lasers/peels my skin needs help and yours looks beautiful!!

[@maavify]

Forwarding this video to my mom and stocking up on SPF asap- thank you for all the great tips!!! This was an amazing video- keep it up 💕

[@KJDLR]

Love this Alex!! Thank u for being transparent & using the experience to help others without feeling embarrassed. And for being modest with your concealer also while still covering up so well. I often wonder why I see so many others putting on sooo much! Clearly there is no need.☺️ Love u girl!! Please come to NC!💗😘

[@marinahl2340]

Can you do a glowy drugstore make up tutorial? I love that your make up is so glowy & luminous but I definitely can't afford the make up you use.....yet. lol I'm a mom & about to start nursing school, give me 2 years & I will be able too! 🤞🏼

[@msabercrombiebabe11]

This is absolutely amazing! I have seen other beauty KZbinrs use this product and have been completely turned off with how much product they use. Now that I've seen you do it, I purchased it right away on Amazon. As you can see by my avatar, I am African-American and I have a lot of dark spots from acne scarring and dark under eye circles. This will definitely be my go to now - and that price, can't beat it!!!! Thank you, Alex for setting the stage for how to use products properly without overuse and just being downright fabulous!!! xoxo, Kiara 💕

[@ambertrump1579]

Yay! Missed you so much on your main channel. You look fabulous no matter what. I'm having an issue with very bad acne around my jawline right now and I'm getting married in a little over a week so this was so refreshing. Thank you for putting yourself out there and being so real. 💕

[@Baseline66]

Thank you for sharing your story and for making this video. My melsama was caused my a bad chemical peel. And now I am so self conscious about my appearance. I prefer not wearing a lot of makeup so you technique was inspiring. I will definitely try an orange base color corrector. Thank you so much!

[@priscillanieto3322]

I need some advice. You self tan a lot and I have just recently started self tanning as well. My family constantly tells me that it looks dumb and that I should just accept being pale. I recognized their opinions and told them that although I respect how they feel I would like in return for them to respect my decision to continue self tanning because it makes me feel beautiful and that I only do it for me, not anyone else in this world. They still constantly ask me to stop and don't try to respect my choice even though I have said multiple times that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm not trying to make them agree with it, just respect it. What should I do?

[@iluvzevon]

This was such an awesome video!! Not only did it seem super informal but you're also showing that you aren't perfect and can be vulnerable! LOVE

[@elizabethlavoine4425]

❤❤Get ready/makeup tutorials are my favorites !

[@jollyjo7877]

hello congratulations for the videos ... I wanted to ask you to cover pigmentation I use orange concealer but when I apply foundation it mixes with concealer and the result is "almost orange face". do you have any tips on how i can go about covering dark spots? thank you

[@nshewillbloved]

Hi Alex! Can you please do a video talking about the lasers, facials, and treatments you had done on your face? Thank you so much!!

[@CheyenneResch]

nshewillbloved yes!!!!

[@genmendoza5545]

I also had great skin and got an infection, I'm guessing similar to yours and I don't know what caused it but THANK YOU so much! for finding a way to cover it up :) I will definitely be trying this method!

[@arelyl.a3439]

So I have a dark spot on my nose, I have tried using other color correctors but nothing seem to work and this dark spot really is embarrassing, any advice? I was thinking about getting la girl product too but I am not sure if it will work.

[@wendypetersen7529]

I am so looking forward to trying this. I have some really dark brown spots and nothing I have tried has even come close to hiding them. I've reached the point where I photoshop them out of pictures and I look so much better and younger. Thank you for sharing.

[@HaleighAmend]

I love the nars luster blush!! It's the best 🙌🏻

[@lilianap91]

Is there any suggestions or tutorial you can do for oily skin and acne scars regimen ? I can never seem to find the perfect routine for my everyday use ☹️

[@poonamverma8408]

Hi I had a scratch on my face I rubbed lemon on my scratch gone dark brown n bigger in size lemon made it worser what can I do?? I try to hide it with foundation n powder can still see I covered something What best?? To use fade mark ? Crayon 🖍 is it best to cover dark brown mark?? On my face? Please help? Love your videos

[@GTE2023]

Omg I bought the concealer and it worked for me !! Thanks 😊🙏

[@MariaM-db4rv]

Alex ,what moisturizer do you use before you apply the SPF? Can you please do a skincare video? I need some tips.

[@carlyterrell7506]

Yay! So excited for this video!! Thank you!

[@cherylsimmons784]

Wow! Beautiful job! Thanks for your tips, very useful.

[@marieantoinette3451]

Hi there! Please...what is the gorgeous lamp in the background and Where do I get it?? I want one for my baby's room.I've asked a few times already but no response :(

[@stephaniebankosh3513]

Great video!! Also, what's the Too Faced blush you love? I can't remember which one you said in the past.

[@GhettoMountainsJr]

I just healed from my third skin infection on my face ( impetigo ) and it's left such bad hyper pigmentation / some scars and it's so hard to cover up ! One of my biggest insecurities because it's on one side of my face. Thank you SO much for this video ❤️❤️

[@1Honora]

Thank you! I definitely want to check this out. I have melasma on my forehead and hate it.

[@TheMandy6]

Love the pink room! It's a beautiful color. What is the name and brand of the paint?

[@katierose1234]

with as full coverage as that concealer is I wonder if it would have been just as covered maybe even more without the dark orange stuff underneath.

[@AlexandreaGarza]

+Katie Rose I wish but it wasn't at all- I tried

[@sailormoonz5897]

Your beautiful girl!!! With and without makeup.. but I completely understand feeling down due to pimples and discoloration.. I'm in my 30s and my skin just got better during my pregnancy believe it or not.. but now I'm just dealing with old acne spots.. this video was great thanks for the honesty!!! Love your vids

[@tay7698]

Thank you for sharing, Alex. You look beautiful no matter what!

[@brigittepolyack2638]

This was sooooo helpful! I have a Jr Bridesmaid with a slew of blemishes that I'll be doing makeup for. I feel much more confident with better direction on how to cover up her spots without over doing it!! Thank you, Alex!!!

[@tatiii0824]

This is great Alex! I got a bad sunburn this weekend and I will be trying this!

[@juliaheacock9726]

I tried exactly how u put urs on and it was still orange on my face. I had to cake it up and my sunspot showed again. What am I doing wrong?

[@jenniferazzara4895]

Alex, love your videos! I am a huge fan of your main channel and your vlog channel with Michael! I was wondering if you knew of any color correctors for dark under eye circles. It's a struggle haha!

[@melanielien5625]

Love the pink! Good job painting it guys!

[@AlexaStyleBook]

What an awesome foundation routine

[@vronnydorado8013]

Wow! I love it!!❤️ your awesome alex! Thx💁🏼

[@analuisaperez7557]

thank you so much for the tutorial!

[@yvonnieholness9895]

Best explanation of how to color correct thank you❤️

[@angelabau]

You are such an inspiration ✨

[@brookebain7250]

Your skin looks amazing 💕💕

[@lightwarrior6489]

The bare minerals prep start is just like that , I as well use moistuzer under it . Doesn't leave a white cast and works as a primer . I searched for soo long for a good mineral Spf and love it .

[@jessicaadkins8650]

Thank you for being comfortable enough to help everyone by sharing your bad experience to do this. You just earned a new subscriber. I REALLY needed this! Be WELL!😊

[@budgetfriendlyvegan7573]

My goodness! So amazing! So happy I stumbled upon your channel. I've been watching all of your videos one after another! This is such a great tip for someone like me who suffers from dark spots! Thanks for all the info. As always you are STUNNING with or without makeup! 💁🏻😍😘❤️

[@budgetfriendlyvegan7573]

#snapfam #instafam #youtubefam

[@misssonjam]

which hour glass bronzer did you use

[@217makeup7]

I have melasma on my face so this video really helped me out. I use the Lancome corrector in the red shade which covers my spots but I would then add full coverage foundation all over my face. I didn't realize that I should use concealer after the corrector....I am trying this out tomorrow morning first thing. It's really nice to have someone post a video like this so thank you it really helped me today....

[@1886Brighteyes]

What type of facials have you been doing ? I have some redness

[@etrowbridge1014]

What about white spots on your face? No matter how much foundation or concealer I put on the white spots on my face show through my foundation.

[@eileenwinters8144]

Can you list the names of the different brushes you used--especially the one that you used to tamp down the orange concealer. Thanks!

[@aalexelle]

Your skin looks amazing!!! 😍 Despite the infection 😣 how sad & frustrating, very unsanitary on behalf of the spa 😫 luckily you were able to treat it and conceal the spot! Dying to see an updated eyeliner tutorial! 😍 Btw so so so excited for Mallory's wedding this weekend, I hope y'all are vlogging even if it's a tiny bit! Xo! 💛

[@canithachi9675]

What high coverage dupe concealer can you use for the Shape tape?

[@mrsbeautybliss]

Amazing!! Alex, i know you have eyelash extensions... i heard you cant use liquid liner with them? Is this true? I cant live without it so i feel like its the only thing holding me back from getting them!! you look great and i hope your spot clears up completely as im sure it will!! love u xo

[@sabrinaarmas2164]

mrsbeautybliss not true at all! You might just want to use little to no mascara

[@jordansherman4471]

When I put on color corrector it just mixes with my foundation and looks terrible. I normally use a beauty blender. How can I prevent this?? 😭 love your video

[@sukuna4396]

Same thing happens with me I can't find the solution of this anywhere...!😢

[@mdback81]

Love this! Have fun in Chicago! xx

[@taylorkuhlmann6498]

Thank you for posting this!!!!!!!!

[@kaoricrutcher]

Is this bronzer a natural look? Because I did this and got called “helmet head”. It looked just like yours. I’m concerned! Please help!!

[@elizabethhinojos6659]

I'm obsessed with your candle! Where did you get it?

[@genevievemariexoxo1382]

Alex I am obsessed with your robe!! Where did you get it? Loved the video, as always!! :D

[@tammybrock5366]

What product do you use for your self tanner?

[@DancingSeed]

Love the new color in your filming room!

[@jamielovesyouuu318]

Makeup videos are my favorite !! Thanks for uploading😄 (and liking my Bobbi brown lip pic on insta~fangirling~)

[@kalimay3828]

I'm fairly new to your channel! The only thing I don't like about my skin is dark circles under my eyes! Definitely a helpful video(s)!!

[@Jidionsolos]

Gosh this is such a beautiful look! So what kind of infection is that? So strange! Well your skin is still stunning.

[@marthaavendano3920]

Wow! I would not have believed it if I had not seen it... that orange really worked! Great video!

[@genysworld7768]

i shall try this❤

[@luvbeingKK]

OK SERIOUSLY Though I never ever comment this BUT you honestly look so much better without makeup on!!!! You are gorgeous! I hate when ppl say that someone looks better without makeup but you definitely do girl! Killin it❤️

[@metsgirl62]

Great job! Thank you
