Alexa Chung's Genius Trick for the Perfect Cat-Eye | Beauty Secrets | Vogue

hello I'm Alexa I designed the TV presenter and I can't do this hello I'm Alexa no I can't see hi I'm Alexa the person not the robot machine at this in your house and I'm gonna show you how I do my makeup everyday first things first I like to brush my hair so I have a shower I have to wash my hair every day because it's very fine and it just gets really greasy so every day I wash it and condition it and then it's a little bit of brushing with literally my dream hair brush which is a Harry Josh Pro Tools mainly let's face it it's a beautiful pistachio color so that looks nice in the bag but also it's one of the only hair brushes that doesn't get stuck on my head because usually it's like this one just can't hear a thing beautiful I do this in the end it's a little bit ok this is how the hair is done we're twisting these bits putting them behind my quite sizable ears before we start let's just here's a little pop quiz what do we think this red mark is here because I I feel maybe I've slept on this ring like this it was I was I won't but I'd in my state right this Victorian person I don't know but either way the audio get you wake up and you have either pillow creases down your face or just something new has sprung up so look forward to your future which is 35 is it I'm obsessed with moisturizing and this is not a product placement this is genuinely the best moisturizer that I've ever met it's called the cream by Auguste Ernest Vader all you need to know is you put it on the head and you literally look younger fresher and well hydrated which this morning anyway so here we go down the neck don't forget the neck only just found out about the neck from watching one of these videos so yeah just that really on to the face I'm gonna start with the with the eyelash girl have you ever done this in front of a boy they freak out they're like what the contraption okay so here's another thing I have very delicate eyelashes so they have to do this about a thousand times next up this which Lucas pulp or ointment I remember when I discovered this in Australia like in the olden days and I felt like I was gonna be the one to import it the rest of the world cuz I was like this is magical mouth serum and then I returned home I realized every morning you about it on my dry dry mouth also can you see this I have a recurring spot there and there and they just come back at me now and again so now I've got the scar of the last time the first cut is the deepest so this guy as well it's just really nice as a travel companion nice for planes I kind of rub it on my hands and just smush it in and anywhere else like cuticles sometimes I have sorry guys psoriasis and they put it on that guy actually love him thank you for your service okay let's start covering some of this nonsense up and check the hair I think it's gonna dry very flat today it depends on the type of water and we're in Paris France so okay this brand I love called RMS so nice I don't know it's just kind of the dream texture because this coverage that is how do you talk about makeup I don't know whatever it's good I don't know how to use brushes so I don't I also have another one I think it's by a Enderman and I love it it's so nice I'm just worried that it's like the wrong color right now because I'm very pale I haven't seen the Sun since all this 2018 she works hard I wish I was a swimwear model they're like always somewhere nice it's good motivation for the old Pilates isn't it oh let's not forget my red friend up here do you think it's from frowning you know just browning in my sleep so I actually forgot to bring on this trip an eyebrow thing so I'm gonna hack this one and use a toothbrush and just brush those guys up I spent years growing these back after some 90s over plucking I also when I have my makeup done if I'm lucky enough to they have to have me the broth because this is one of my favorite things to do I find it really therapeutic it's very relaxing so I am a magpie for pretty colored things and I love this which is a deal backstage glow face palette which I believe is meant to be for like highlighting your face cheeks etc I don't understand how to do that contour whatever or highlight another black so I just thought it was really nice and I'm gonna use it as an eyeshadow when I was younger I used to get my makeup done on photo shoots and I tried a lot of different things that I often looked bad in too much stuff and I've always just preferred a more natural look so I love Browns and you know grumpy eyelashes or more I guess all my beauty icons are either actual men or women were famed for not really wearing too much makeup so yeah Mick Jagger hey Jagger did wear makeup though in performance and you know really good but yeah I'm more of a hair guy another makeup artist told me that you meant to well I was like why does this look nice why are you better at making me look nice and it's because she puts the little highlights in the corner here you should probably use a different brush for that but as I say I'm novice learner pack starter pack the other thing that it's doing is is making my small eye look even smaller my big eye look even bigger because I'm looking over here it's either really short bob middle bob which is what we're in right now and then as soon as it gets a bit too long then I have to put the fringe in so then it's back to square one again okay do you see how it's drying as we speak I'm gonna do an eyeliner before mascara because I find it easier to get close to the lash root so my friend Fifi at work calls this perfect makeup so if I come to the office everyday I live around the corner from our studio so I just walk to work usually with wet hair like they have to deal with the no makeup thing if we have meetings or someone's coming in or Lola okay quick perfect makeup perfect makeup yeah so with the eyeliner it's for me easier to start on the outsides and then fill in the rest of it because it's that angle which gives you the perfect cat eye so my guide for it is to follow the bottom of your eye up so it's kind of just like an extension of the natural marker other people do things like measuring degrees or things that seem quite mathematical but I just figure you're going for something that's like up and out so that's the marker and you have to test if they're levels and those I put my head up because then it's easier yeah I once went to a party where they asked me if it was tattooed onto my face she was like oh you're not wearing black I know and I was like I genuinely thought you had that tattooed and that's when I started giving it up so I'm not gonna go all the way in because sometimes then when you live it's sort of transverse at the bottom and then that's when you get like the black eyeliner down here I think probably stopping around there on the eyeball can you tell how integral the hair is to the look okay my favorite mascara gross yeah lash slick because it's like quite light and so if it's been a long day and you go to bed without washing your face which I hear is a big no-no but it doesn't like give you the kind of Robert Smith from the Cure look in the morning because it was just stays where it is or kind of disappears it actually turns into a pumpkin I don't know what happens it just goes someone I do wash my face by the way I know how you're meant to put mascara on and I still don't do it you're meant to be like this and get really in the last root blah blah blah but it just makes you feel a bit sick so I'll stick with this way thank you these are bags aren't going anywhere here's some blusher but I got this is Norah Mercier in prolly praline brilliant and I love it because it's kind of just a warm tone it's quite natural it's also a cream blusher which I really like because too much powder I don't know I feel like you're getting more wrinkly the more power you on your face day is not this is my third concealer sorry also what a freak I've got three concealers now my shadows [Music] I think these colors are nice so peachy and warm it's a powder I'm going off-piste get on this just live in it Oh lips last stage it's the final countdown this is my favourite lipstick it's called pillow talk by Charlotte Tilbury and it's like my lip color but nicer so thank you Charlotte sorry about the hair there it didn't really recover and if the hair doesn't recover and it's not looking good then I guess you just have to well people with your sparkling personality top beauty tip okay thank you so much for watching that was it [Music]
