Thanks for continuously presenting various ways of the “Make-up products are various kinds of paint. Go paint yer face” idea. Love being resourceful 🙃

I love watching your videos. I’m learning so much from you.

I worked at MAC for a short period of time and would always recommend your videos to customers who were confused about literally anything!

Thank you for people they can mix and match with product they already own and maybe get use out of things they don't normally use. No one knows if you're wearing $500 makeup or if you have eyeshadow on your lips. Skillful execution is the key and you are enabling normal people to do so.

I use a light colored base coat of matte liquid lipstick, then contour/highlight with eyeshadow, then finish with a gloss. I swear this routine makes my lips look so voluptuous and it last longer than with just shadow and gloss.

You could use liners and top it with gloss. If you blot that(ik sounds crazy) you'll get a beautiful lips stain. If you're a bit agressive with blotting it makes your lips bigger, temporarily but noticibly). I like to play with skin powders over it, skin colored, banana, corrector shades it changes the look. Its also a great hack for those blurred lips Korean style lips

I liked the overline on this look because of how diffused it is but either way gorgeous

Be CAREFUL about using certain eyeshadows on your lips! I had an outbreak of angular cheilitis that was caused by glitter eyeshadow getting into the corners of my mouth. It was very painful and embarrassing -- it looked like herpa-derps 😩

Besides that not all products for your face can be “ingested”. Ingredients are different for each type of makeup. Don’t think that eating talc, glitter, etc, which most eyeshadows contain, is a good idea. This is just not a good thing to be experimenting with.

Facts. The way I've learned to think about it is basically, if it irritates your eyes - it is most likely also going to irritate your mouth.

I have actually done this with blushes and it turns out really nice. Thank you great video.💋

Been doing this for more than a year because I don't wear makeup everyday, the lipsticks would expire, so I use eyeshadow or blush on top of chapstick

This is so perfect. I have very fair cool/neutral skin tone. If I use a pink eyeshadow, it looks like I'm sick or had a bad allergic reaction. I can now use those colors in eyeshadow pallets and not waste them.

Such a treat when you upload anything 😊

This is actually so nice that you recommend experimenting with applying products to the parts they are not intended for. Like I was always thinking of using eyeshadows as blush or lipstick, but got rid of the idea, 'cause "are you crazy? nobody's doing that!" But, honestly, it's a great way to see what you colors suit you, especially when you don't have a ton of products. So, thank you! This is really encouraging ❤

There are several Asian face palettes (mostly Korean ones) that have several pans of the same size meant to be used all over the face. They usually come in neutral to dark, or light to neutral tones, so you can use the pigments on your eyelids, cheeks as blush, or as contour, and even on your brows.

I love using a lilac eyeshadow for my blush!!

Wow, great content! I actually do this all the time: contour powder for lining the lips, lipstick as blush, eyeshadow as blush, eyeshadow in my brows, highlighter as eyeshadow, liquid highlighter and concealer to make a more or less glowy base (do not own foundation) ... make-up is simply pigment and I see the intended use basically as a suggestion 😅 sometimes I tweak the formula as you do.

Thank you. Sometimes it’s important to break down the obvious ❤ Happy Thanksgiving all 🦃

I love this idea. Would love to see the red. Also I think this would be a great series idea. Multiple ways to use and customize makeup we already own. For example using lipstick as blush. I bought a brown eyeliner pencil in a gel like formula, really didn't like the color for my eyes, but its the perfect color for my brows. I use an eyebrow brush to make hair like strokes and because its waterproof my eyebrows stay in place all day! The pencil is also great as an eye base when I want to deep eyeshadows.

Funnily enough I was doing this exact same thing as a child. When I was 7 or 8, I remember my mom bought me some kids makeup set and I hated the lipsticks, I thought they were too "girly" and pinky. So I'd secretly use my mom's eyeshadows and layer them on my lips to try and create more wearable colors and then I'd coat my lips with sone vaseline or the cheap gloss from the set. That was sooo fun. Alex, you brought back so many memories ❤ Thank you for this video and reminding me of this trick I had no idea was legit

LOVE your eyeliner so much. "Dude, I'm a genius." You are so adorable.

Omg. I love this hack!! You just saved me a lot of money and now some of the shades I hate for my eyes will see the light of day.

Not sure about this. Sometimes I see brands who write on some of their eyeshadows "lip-safe" or " not lip-safe" so I always assumed there's something in standard eyeshadows that makes them dangerous if ingested somehow.

I assume if they’re labelled as “multipurpose”, like the Hindash palettes, then it should be safe. I probably wouldn’t do it with cheap or glittery products, though.

@Call-me-Al

Yes, if it isn't for the lips it contains ingredients that are fine to use on unbroken skin but not to risk ingesting.

@@Melissa.Garrett I think when a powder product is labeled as multipurpose however, the purposes the manufacturer is implying are also typical powder uses. Such as eyebrows, contour, bronze, blush. Not all pigments that are eye-safe are necessarily safe to be ingested. Plus the Hindash palette has talc. I don’t want to be ingesting talc.

Another amazing video!!! You are my absolute favorite MUA because you’re genuine & aren’t constantly shoving products down our throats, which helps us not to over consume by teaching us how to be more resourceful! I very much admire you & your channel. Thank you so much

I do this sometimes, but lately I've been mixing some super sparkle into my lip colour, or on a metallic..... I love making my own colours. One of my current favorites is using the lightest Rare beauty pinkish peach matte blush and dabbing it in the center of my lip with Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk and a Fenty shiny gloss on top

Back when I was like 17/18 and didn’t have any lipsticks I used to put chapstick on my lips to give them a tacky base and I’d layer black eyeshadow over the top. Worked like a charm!

You truly are such an amazing teacher. I have never understood the principles of makeup quite like I have with you. I feel so free and secure to create and adapt what you teach, even though I do not have access to everything that you recommend (I'm Brazilian and foreign products are crazy expensive). Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And for being SO cool, ugh.

I've never seen this before! Legit the reason why you're the only makeup artist I'm subscribed to when I don't even wear makeup. You coming at us with hot fire every time

I've only used a little metallic eyeshadow as a highlight, but this opens all sorts of ideas. I don't wear color too often, but this is fun to have as an option even just for a lip balm. Thanks! Love your videos.

This is so well timed! I have a couple of palettes that have bright red and pink shadows in them that I love on others but not on me. I’ve been thinking of using them as kind of a setting powder for my similar colored lipsticks. But now I see how I can use them to tweak lipsticks and glosses that are almost but not quite the color I was hoping for. Very cool!!

Good luck with this one! I'll admit, i am absolutely a no go on this: Ive always heard cosmetic chemists preach that eye products and mouth products should never be switched. I do put loads of iffy eye products on already (love those reds & also glitter liner lol) so im sure it's no more dangerous that that, but eeeeeek....

Yes, if the product is marketed as for eyes and lips and cheeks, you're safe. Avoid using products that are for eyes only on your lips.

Please do a victorian jewel tone look!❤

Back when Bare Essentials was new and everything was loose powder my boss used to take their bronzer and dip a stick lip balm in it and it was her perfect lip color.

I love using this technique to slightly overline my lips! Definitely helps if you struggle with lip liners giving too much shine

Seriously a top tier youtuber. So real and knowledgeable snd takes the time to talk in depth and make longer videos rather than just shorts where you dunno whats going on.

I love this so much! Simple and so lovely! Thanks!!!❤️

I'm looking for a beautiful affordable red lip for Christmas, I would love to see you do a red! I have lots of red shadows because I watched that video of you doing a complete red eye and LOVED the look and vibe!

❤❤❤ love love love what you did it was absolutely beautiful. I have always mixed my make up experimenting with it and eyeshadows and blushes as lipsticks it’s something I’ve done since I was a teenager but watching you you put an added extra touch to it and it’s just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this!!! ❤

this is so clever! I would have never thought of doing that. This is a cool trick!

I did this for Halloween this year... I didn't have any purple/black, and wanted a vampy lip... so I set some red lipstick by brushing black eye shadow on top :) It came out really well... essentially massively expanded my lippie collection.

WoW Alex, that technique created the prettiest colour ever! ❤

I love the new way to expand my lipstick collection! Thanks so much! Would love to see a red lip, a berry lip, a glitter lip even

That's super cool I'd have never thought of this being a thing so ty for sharing xx

I totally do this with zesty eyeshadow colors or sick glitter shades for fun looks or to get a perfect shade that I can't elsewhere.

Fantastic idea - will try this for sure!

wow that came out great!

oh a great way , j'adore, thank you Alexandra🌺🌺🌺

You never fail to amaze! ❤

Thank you so much for these videos. This will help me a lot-- can't wait to experiment! 🤩

YEAH! I used some pink eyeshadows on top of lip balm and it looks amazing. I also love use eyeshadow to contour my lips to add some dimension

Yes yes! I did those in high school as well. Eyeshadow for eyes, blush and lips. The lips and eyes never crossed paths even when I was clueless in high school.

I have that double lip line and I can never tell if it looks more natural to fill that in with lipstick or to cover with foundation. After watching you, I think using liner or lipstick makes the lips, natural and full. You are so talented and I appreciate all your content!! Many blessings & Happy Thanksgiving!!💖🦃💖

thank you for posting this the same day i was wondering about this topic, but felt stupid and didn't know where to start 🥺

I usually put one cream product on my lips and then put eyeshadow over that to correct the color and mattify it

@Hindash has the most beautiful pallets! ❤ I have both and I need to reorder his original because I'm hitting pan on so many shades.

Imma try this right now, like literally right now 😆 thanks, Alex

I remember using the palest pink almost white lipstick I could find and using colored eyeshadow over it in the 80's. It was the only way to get blue, green....not "normal" lipstick on the cheap back then.

My favorite way to use shadow or blush on the lips is to pop it over a liquid lipstick or matte lipstick--- especially a gold shimmery topper shadow over a pink or red lipstick. Or take a vivid metallic over black.

Enjoyed that! Gonna try it now😆😍💞

Your nails are GORRRGGGGGGGGG. Thanks for another fun tutorial!

I used to do this all the time in middle school! I have no idea why I stopped bc mixing weird colors together was always so fun to me.

I do this to contour the outer edges but I wouldn't risk doing the centre of the lip regularly because I don't wanna regularly ingest eyeshadow. I take the risk sometimes, but it's a risk. STUNNING look, though

Girl you know we gotta see the other way too!! Soo gorg ❤

Yayyyyyyyyyy I appreciate you so much Alex!!!

The eye you have color is unmatched. That color match was on point. Something only an adtist could do in a matter of seconds. I could listen to u and Kackie talk about color theory nonstop. She talks about it a lot on her channel too. She paints and has talkex about u many times. Doing makeup is all about that artistic eye. You are truley one of the best kn this platform.

yesss i love using eyeshadow as lip colors! the day i realized i could do that opened up a whole new world for me haha. also LMAO when you matched your lip color!!! love your reactions, always. never change girl

ALEX, thins is freaking BRILLIANT ❤

Great video. Yes would love to see more videos like this.

I would also suggest using your wet product (gloss/balm/oil/etc.) FIRST, and then blot, Blot, BLOT, then tap and draw your shadow on top!

Love it! Yes, you are a genius! Now I'll go finish the video.

This is all I use for lipsticks n eyeliner . Eyeshadows r so versatile

About 30 years ago I had a couple of true powder "lipsticks" which came in a little compact with an applicator. Can't remember the brand but I think it was Italian and it definitely was in a burgundy compact and certainly wasn't cheap! They were surprisingly not drying on the lips and had incredible staying power. I'll probably find them lurking in the bottom of an ancient cosmetic bag or handbag one of these days.

I love you Alex ❤ Always learn something new and your vibe comforts me. Can you please review Danessa Myricks Groundwork palette?

I always do that whenever I do monochromatic look

yes! deep red!

I love this very low key but sophisticated look (besides the lip) and would love to watch you recreate it 👀

I recently purchased Dominique Cosmetics Transition Palette. All are matte shades and has all the colors for eyebrows, blush, bronzer, contour and can be used on lips too. I've been using it daily ever since I purchased it. It replaced my Makeup by Mario palette which has all matte shades. DC eyeshadow formulation is so good. It blends like butter. It doesn't cling in my dry patches plus the pan sizes are really big. I don't know why I didn't try their products before. They are so underrated. I ordered their pink setting powder and brow pencil today. Can't wait to try them. It's a request if you could try them out especially the transition palette.

You're a genius to me!!!!❤

I usually use it as a replacement lip liner!

Finally found something useful thanks ma'am

Hi, I believe there’s a mixing medium you can use to do this Jen Luv here on utube has mentioned it but I don’t remember what it’s called 😀

I may be one of those people that don’t love overlining, but please never tone it down for us 😂you were having so much fun with it, especially with how close you matched your lip color…. It looks good on you, some people just really make it look ridiculous 🤦‍♀️

"Dude, I'm a genius." Love this. You look amazing :) as always

As someone with perpetually dry lips with a lot of lines, I get overwhelmed with traditional lip color products. So I was skeptical when I saw the name of the video, but after watching it and seeing the use of aquaphor, I am sold!!! Gonna try this for sure
