Hi, I'm Alexandra. I believe life can be both glorious, tricky and even painful.. which we all know. Beauty is a practice I have enjoyed from early childhood as a way to build my confidence in myself. Not just on "special" occasions, but in my every day life and decision making. On my YouTube channel I show you practical steps and psychology to understand and apply methods in all areas of beauty; inclding fashion, makeup, hairstyling and femininity, to help us evolve and transform into our personal visions. I believe when a girl feels good about herself, she can make better choices for herself in ALL areas of life. Welcome to my channel, I'm glad you found me.

you can remove your makeup perfectly and
you should if you enjoy this tutorial
please give it a thumbs up now makeup
removal is quite simple when you do it
correctly and removing it correctly is a
right of passage so to speak I'm also
really passionate about makeup removal
because it helps the products you put on
top work really well properly in fact
and since I've been removing my makeup
perfectly I've gotten clear skin that
looks better with makeup on as long as I
remove it properly so in this tutorial
we're going to start by talking about
the actual product that you use I have
found a resource in Beauty in general
there's products that you like to use
there's products that are exciting to
buy or try some are expensive some are
affordable I think that makeup remover
should be affordable because I think
it's our right as women to be able to
remove our makeup without it being
costly I've used a lot of different
incredible makeup removers in fact all
of the ones you see on the screen are
really good they're they're just very
expensive and I don't like the feeling
of having to worry when I'm running out
of something I'm not sponsored by this
brand or Affiliated at all this is a
product that really feels not like an
investment but like a resource the
refills are under $10 and the product
itself is like $9 or $10 it's amazing
oil cleanser in general regardless of
which one you're using is the best way
to remove makeup and waterproof makeup
oil cleanser will remove it so easily
regardless of what product you're using
the key is the technique with your hands
which I'm going to show you first I'm
going to pick off the glue from these
false lashes you can reuse these several
times so store them away for another day
if you're using a liquid oil cleanser
take a few pumps into your hand and if
it's a balm take a little bit of product
into your hand and rub your hands
together to coat your hands entirely
from the base of the Palm all the way up
to the fingertips coat your hands with
the oil and swipe from the base of the
Palm to the fingertips the key here here
is to create large even sweeps of the
oil to dispense it all over your face
evenly as possible and this is going to
set you up for success for the perfect
makeup removal after those initial
sweeps you can see I'm using my
fingertips and I'm creating a mixture of
fingertip action with the Palm sweeps
because I want to keep redistributing
that oil and using my finger neck I just
said finger neck I'm I mean my
fingertips and I'm etching that makeup
away and lifting it off of my skin and
merging it with that oil I start on the
largest parts of my face and I work
around the nose and then into the
eyebrows moving back and forth to get
the makeup from the hair follicles in
between the hairs and really getting it
off when you use the entirety of your
palm to redistribute that oil you don't
need to add more you can just keep
remixing it over the skin and now it's
time to focus on the eyes the reason I
don't recommend that you start with your
eye makeup is because it's most visible
most of the makeup on your face Blends
in that's the whole point actually so if
you were to remove Things based on
visibility you're likely to leave makeup
around the temples and around the
jawline whereas when you put your focus
there first on the entirety of your face
you're going to end up doing a much
better job and you're going to end up
with much clearer skin oil cleansers
don't stay oil when they get wet they
turn to a liquidy milk as soon as they
touch water and so it's fascinating that
it transcends itself to become watery
and remove your makeup this is great
even for oily skin people hopefully your
makeup at this point has been removed
perfectly because the product works it's
magic and you work your Technique
however if you're brand new to makeup
removal and you're still working on your
Technique you can use a cleansing water
or just some water on a cotton pad swipe
it around the jawline over your eyes and
double check to see your progress and
eventually your Technique will be good
enough that you will just know that
you've removed your makeup perfectly
each time now we are going to cleanse
again double cleansing is really
important because we remove the makeup
perfectly but now we use our cleanser to
actually treat the skin based on
whatever ingredients it has in it you
can use your fingertips to cleanse and
you can use an exfoliating tool like a
silicone brush head this is really great
for manual exfoliation and getting your
cleanser to do a perfect job at treating
your skin with whatever ingredients it
has and now once you've double cleansed
and rinsed everything off you can use
your products with knowing that they're
bringing you clear skin by working
effectively not working against leftover
makeup and dirt I'm applying my skin
care and I wanted to use a lash serum
that didn't have any drug in it like no
prostag glands cuz those can make your
under eyes darker but I still wanted to
improve my lashes I started using this
one by Mariam M it's all natural this is
my lashes before and these are my lashes
after 8 weeks actually after 8 weeks I
got really good results I'm going to
start using on my brows too and it's all
natural so I don't have to worry about
any side effects this goes on my top
lashes and on my bottom lashes cuz I
want both of them to get longer and
Fuller and I'm going to continue using
this it is so great I noticed also in
the photos my eye area seem to improve
impr too so I thought that was
interesting like the fine lines or so I
I can see it if you enjoyed this video
