Alexis (Lexi to her friends) was a wonderful, kind person who I had the privilege of working with many years ago and becoming friends with. Before she passed, she only told her close circle that she had cancer, because she was afraid that it would harm her career and image in Hollywood. How tragic is it that she would have ever had to worry about this? But she truly left a legacy for many generations after and you can still see her work in many looks today.

I bought Alexis’s makeup kit from her first makeup launch ages ago. She was definitely ahead of her time, when beauty blenders came out I was so pissed because people gave Alexis a hard time when she wet her sponge 🧽 to apply foundation sometimes or use a wet sponge to set powder. Just so many memories when I see Alexis rip 🙏

There was a time YEARS ago when I arrived to a fashion showcase without my brushes. But I had sponges and qtips. Between those and my clean fingers, all of my models ended up looking gorgeous. And thankfully most of my face products were cream, which helped. EDIT: Damn girl, you need to wear that wig more often! It's amazing on you!

THE SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN YOU PUT THAT WIG ON AND SHOWED THE FINAL LOOK. I can’t wait to get done at work and go play with my makeup! Also love that she used regular products like a sponge and q tip. I feel like everyone nowadays has all these specific brushes and tools (which is okay too!). But it makes me feel like if I don’t have those particular products I won’t be able to recreate the look. Love how accessible q tips and sponges are.. use what you have!

What some people maybe don't understand is that procedures like this are NOT just aesthetic--they affect your confidence and the way you see yourself, and therefore, the way you move and work in the world. 2. Your doctor is incredible at what she does (and you did a perfect job of drawing your shape on pre-op)! What painstaking work having to choose each individual hair and how and where to place it...wow. Your brows look REALLY GOOD, and I was happy to read that you love them. Personally, I think it's perfect that they are still 'sisters, not twins'. 3. I, too, loved Linda Evangelista and her iconic, pencil thin, penciled-in brows. I liked her best as a redhead, but the image of her that always sticks with me is of her with a short, dark brunette pageboy on the September 1993 cover of Harper's Bazaar, simply because her brows were SO full in that shot compared to how she usually wore them. 4. I need to ask, because if I were you and I had the time, I'd totally do this at least once: when your brows start getting long, have you ever fought the urge to trim them and just let them grow for awhile? If so, did you ever style them?! I'm imagining some Botticelli-esque spiral curls, or perhaps a Stacey Q-style micro crimp. Wild!

In 1999 I was a fashion student at FIDM. I would do all my friends makeup before we’d go out on the Sunset strip and they were all like why tf aren’t you a makeup artist? So in 2000, I moved back to Utah and majored in theater with an emphasis in stage makeup design. After that I went back to LA for an intensive media makeup artistry school where I started my book. I have had the pleasure of studying under 2 Emmy award winning makeup artists and several other prominent artists - even one who did makeup for porn and made bank lol, but no one ever lit a fire within me to become a kick ass makeup artist like Alexis. I mean I studied her technique like a savage because I wanted to look just like Pam. And I actually did. And so much of that was my make up application style. I became known for my playboy, playmate make up style and that’s what people and companies hired me to do for them. And honestly it’s what I still love doing most and it’s still my favorite style of make up to do because to me it is so classically beautiful. But maaaaan these techniques took me back! Those damn triangle sponges were everything! 😂 And yes I had the skinny brows too that never fully came back and I still do my lips that way too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Alexis.

Trying to film once a week. And I definitely have to upgrade my camera. I couldn’t zoom in 😅 sometimes I hire a videographer but I can film more often if I do myself. Thankyou for your comment 🤗

Erin, you are everything the beauty community has needed. You are the perfect person to honor iconic makeup looks, the artists who innovated and educate us along the way. 🥰 Rest in peace, Alexis! 🙌

You have NO IDEA of how much i admire the work you've done within the years ! This video IS BEYOND !!! Love you ! KEEP ROCKING !!!

You are needed here on stail old KZread. Thank you for the new and jazzy content! I love it all!❤❤❤

Thanks for taking me back down memory lane with this iconic makeup look! You looked absolutely beautiful! I too overly tweezed my brows back in the late 90’s! 🤣 I’m older than you (I’m 58) and my sultry, smoky eye inspirations were from Morgan Fairchild and Donna Mills. ✌️💕

Yay Donna Mills! “The Eyes Have It” was that corny 80s high glamor that I adore. This flavor of 90s glamor is much more porn-y to my eye. Totally fine to look like Jenna Jameson, but I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for that “Dynasty”-era decadence and sophistication.

@@erinparsonsmakeup Yes! Please do that Donna Mills vhs video look! I remember that one so well. My friends and I used to pop that in the player and go right along with her. I think she used a fresh cucumber on her skin in the beginning? It's been so long since I watched. She was and still is so gorgeous. Can't wait to see your recreation. You've sure taken me down memory lane with Alexis's kit. That infomercial was on every single night, everywhere if you were up watching television. The nostalgia!

@Erin Parsons Makeup Yay!! I can’t wait to see your rendition of the infamous “Donna Mills Eyes 👀 “! Yes, I remember that vhs tape so well! Her eyes were, and still are mesmerizing! It would be so cool if she would film it with you! Sigh 😌 I miss the good old days of watching Dynasty, Falcon’s Crest, Knots Landing, and Dallas with my sweet Nana! ✌️💕

I am so here for the ultimate babe look ,I adore Pam so much🫶🏽!and it’s so crazy I watched that what’s in my bag video with Pam as well and also noticed her talk about the Alexis Vogel glitter she had in her bag,I looked everywhere for her stuff on random sites not knowing she still had her kits ,I didn’t know she still sold the whole kits on her site ,so cool!when I saw your video I was so excited ,I know she’s sadly passed of cancer and was a revolutionary in so many ways and I’m so glad to see her and Pam celebrated for a fresh audiance!!

Erin is the best. I feel so fortunate to have found her. Truly the best content online. ❤

@@erinparsonsmakeup you’re most welcome! Thanks for all your great work. We don’t deserve you haha

I really love this look. It's so strange not to use brushes to me now but at the time there really weren't brushes at the drugstore. If you lived somewhere without a mac, you could always get cheap triangle sponges in a bag. That's what I started out with, cake foundation, pressed powder and a powder puff. For eyeshadow I used the little sponge thing that came with it. I learned to do a smokey eye with a kohl pencil and a q-tip from a MUA at a salon. She sold me a single shimmer shadow and a single gun metal gray shadow. For lips I had a brown liner and a pink tinted gloss. Very minimal but that sexy pouty Bardot esque lip. I think it's wild they are still making this and that the quality holds up. Cake liner is an underappreciated product, I always think. It never dries up and gets too old to use.

I would love to see Erin and Wayne Goss do a video together. Both of them have just wonderful personalities and crazy good makeup skills.

It was also said that Alexis Vogel applied some sort of super glue as primer on Pam for her taping with Tommie Lee. This allowed for the makeup to stick during the filming process. After the taping it was rumored pam spent three days isolated in the restroom scrubbing her face to wash off the makeup. Such an iconic moment in makeup history as well as iconic makeup artistry.

Hey girl, I need a series on ponds cold cream. A beauty product that seems to be lost on young women, but is truly the best make up remover system of all time.😂

Agreed 💯 I've used it for YEARS!! It's the only remover that doesn't sting my eyes. And it leaves your skin so soft after cleansing too.

Ballet dancer here😊. Nothing removes stage make up like Pond' s. Maybe the only thing that can be compared is extra virgin olive oil freshly pressed from my little town sended by my mom. If she knew I' ve used it as an emergency alternative because I ran out of my cold cream, I shouldn' t be commenting here💀... 😅 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤 #coldcreamteam

I feel the excitement of learning when i watch your videos 🫢📓📝

This is beautiful! It’s nice to see you’re getting the views you deserve! As a beginner MUA, your work brought me back the joy of makeup and have encouraged me to keep going. Thank you ❤❤

You are a genuine artist Erin and you take your love for makeup to a whole new level. Impredded!

I bought that and I loved it cause it shows you the power of make-up

genuinely adore you!! i love how you teach us as well 🫶🏼

Erin your channel is absolutely amazing. So diverse in makeup, and makeup history. Honestly it’s one of the best channels on KZread . Thank you! You’ve made me fall back in love with makeup ❤

I think the Clinique High Impact mascara is a tubing formula, which is probably why they don’t label it as waterproof. This video was a great idea. I enjoyed it and all your videos. Please create more. This is my kind of channel!❤

After using liquid eyeliner to get a precise cat eye for so many years, I’d completely forgotten how smudgey we wore our eye makeup in the 90s/early aughts. The smudgier the better for bombshells or riot grrrls! My go-to eyeliner in the late 90s had a little smudging sponge tip on the top of the pencil so you could get in there and blur those undesirable hard lines. Love this tutorial. I could watch you and Lisa Eldridge talk about makeup history all day!

Alexis did makeup AND hair!?! We all have that eyebrow story from the 90s. Wow she is an icon. It's huge.

I am so freaking happy that you did an entire video on Pam Anderson!❤ Thank you so much Erin!

I have seen a lot of Pamela look tutorials, but this was the first that went back to the source! Very interesting and authentic! 💕

After you said "Alexis went in......" I then hear... "I'm sorry I'm having trouble hearing, could you say that again? You triggered my Alexa 🤣

Thank you for this video!! I've always been fascinated by Alexis Vogel, and this is such a treat. You basically created my dream channel.

Right?? She’s amazing and definitely my dream makeup videos 🎉

Gosh! I'm almot 50 years old & this was my makeup routine for years hahahaaa. No moisturiser, foundation all over, slightly orange, using a triangle sponge, tonnes of powder, skinny eyebrows, huge chubby eyeliners...soo much eyeliner & OMG that glow dust. I had sliver on my eyebrow bone & pretty much all over my eyes for about 20 years & at least 4 coats of mascara lmao. This was brilliant to watch. I'd forgotten most of this routine. Thank you for sharing this xx

It’s amazing the pouty depth Alexis’ technique achieved with the lip gloss / lip liner combination. Very cool.

I believe we're the same age and I'm also from Ohio. Thank you for allowing me to relive my 20's too. What I really noticed was I really never grew out of this type of makeup and application.

You're so talented, I love your content so much. It reminds me of old school beauty youtube, which taught me how to do makeup/really ignited my passion for makeup literally over 10 years ago now. These looks kind of reminds of me of old transformations Pixiwoo (now they just go by their names, Sam and Nic Chapman) used to do, but of course filmed in a more updated way. I think they even had a pam anderson transformation I watched repeatedly, trying to recreate the look, at least a decade ago now. This is one of the few beauty channels I still watch, even the shorts (which I usually can't really get into, after watching longer content here on YT for so long)

Love this. I’m 47 and this was my era and it’s stunning!

Love this!! Love the history. I remember this as an infomercial when I was younger, and I really wanted to buy it, but it was not cheap, and I thought it would magically turn me into Pam lol 😅. This was way before I knew KZread was teaching people how to use make up. I had no idea how to use make up back then.

I used countless numbers of the white wedge sponges back in the 90s!

Thank you for this video !!I’ve been always OBSESSED with this kind of 90’s-00’s bombshell makeup/Pamela’s makeup ❤❤❤❤

I couldn’t wait to watch this especially after I watched the Netflix special. Your beauty videos are my favorite!!! Love this Erin!!

I always do this foundation, cover up and especially powder. I didn't realize it was an actual thing. And I always fluff buff the hell out of my face. I've always got SO MANY compliments on my skin and makeup from this method.

Thank you! I've always loved the Alexis Vogel bombshell look!

❤❤❤I was and still am in Love with Pam's look!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

You're a chameleon! You can pull off any look and it's impressive. I grew up in the 90's and Pam was icon. Baywatch was the show back then and a lot of people watched it, even a kid like myself in the 90's.

I had the original kits and stopped ordering them because Sephora came to my city. You made me really want to order again!!

Soooo gooood!!! This really is the best beauty channel!!! Omg Erin, what have we done to deserve you???!!!! Thank you!!!!

Love your historic makeup content!! Such a cool era to get to rewatch
