Model Alex Consani’s Guide to Smoky Eyes & Bleached Brows | Beauty Secrets | Vogue

Hi V it's Alex kinani and I'm going to take you through my everyday skincare routine and my beauty tips I like to get ice and I just hold it pat it off actually don't wash my face don't come for me I'm going to start with the youth eye complex this is like such a good product for like when you wake up and you feel a little bit tired I actually did this thing last night that my agent told me about it's called The Vampire sleep you sleep like this on your back and it's supposed to

like cir at your body y'all tell me why I woke up and I feel snatched and then I used the Peter Thomas Roth eye patches these are so good I like learned about these first on set just voguing for Vogue I'm going to use this serum to do gacha this Serum is really hydrating and it helps the gacha Glide and that's what's really important when you do this step I'm going to start with this gacha rose quartz so I learned from the last 10 years of modeling all of the points you have to hit when

you gacha you want to go start in the middle go out cuz you're trying to pull everything out of your skin you're not like pulling it in you know I go under the eyes and for me the main point that I like to get into is under the nose and then you go up and I'll show you guys how I do it with my fingers cuz honestly sometimes it's actually better and what I like to do is I tap all of the girls that I've met in the fashion industry who have have the most amazing

skin they do this they go in and then I like to do this then you go above your eyes like this you hold it for a second kind of push the product in and then around I hope I don't look crazy doing this y'all but it really does work and you feel so snatched and refreshed and then I get into my moisturizer this moisturizer is my favorite when you put it on it doesn't just like absorb immediately so it's good to you know kind of do another level of emphatic drainage with this I was on

a flight back from Korea and I saw all of these women like slapping their faces like really intensely with their moisturizer because it causes blood circulation to really go into your [Music] face I'm already feeling fat but we haven't even started the makeup sunscreen is so important I just don't want something that's too thick so that doesn't like clog my pores and you see every time I put any product on my face I'm using it as a chance to kind of just like REM mind my face where to go go back you see this this

the hands my grandma taught me this day one you always do do your hands because when you get older that's what shows your age you could be fabulous in the mug but if your hands aren't hitting was going to hold them oh just kidding I use lumify eye drops another thing I've learned from my years in fashion is that you always do a hydrating lip this is it just kidding y'all but now let's get into the actual makeup routine the first product and one of my favorites is the Chanel water tint it's really good when

you're trying to do like a light natural makeup I feel like sometimes it's better to do that as well if you're doing a heavy eye like I am today and then I'm kind of just going to take this I like to start in the middle I don't like to go under my eyes either with Foundation or tint or whatever when I'm first starting because it can sometimes catch onto the concealer it's like taking away all of this redness that I have in my face today I think it's really just going to be about the eye

cuz for me that's one thing that I feel like I'm known for within my friends is like this like Tom Ford Gucci kind of reference eye it's what I do when the girls need a good a good bead they come over because girl I know all the tips so y'all are here to get all the tips it's looking pretty pretty gorgeous you guys something in my family everybody got these bags you guys it's just how it is but we're going to fix it with with this concealer this is the St laurant touche claw this is

what the girls love in fashion also this is another fashion staple I feel like I'm using all of the like favorite products from all of the girls I usually like to put it on my hand first just to kind of remove some of that product and what I learned from the beginning is you're supposed to put the product on and let it sit another thing that I do that release chisels the cheek bonce is you take the concealer and you want to go from your basically like this this point in your ear down so I

like to kind of like fake it it's called like reverse contouring I think where you use the highlighter or use the concealer as a highlighter to kind of Contour your face I also have these like marks I don't know if other people have those but it's like from from being a side sleeper that's why I'm using my vampire sleeping method you guys I feel like as somebody who's a minority in the fashion industry and like there's so many first that I'm doing right now there's definitely like an obligation to use my voice and yeah I

mean I didn't sign up when I first started fashion to like be the spokesperson for Trans people because I'm definitely not there's so many people in my community that like do so many different things than I do and like represent so many different facets I guess of like the industry it's important to like speak on my experience but with the input that I've heard from that I don't know if you can see but like I have like if I look down I have like these bag that are like actually protruding and someone told me this

hack where you use highlighter under your eyes like right where the bag is and you like highlight it which for me I would assume that would do the opposite of what I want but I tried it and it actually does completely get rid of that shadow the next product that I'm going to use is my tried and true Road this is in the color Freckle this is some of the best blush that I've ever used my first ever Beauty campaign was actually with road and it was such an amazing experience because I'd obviously been a

fan of Haley forever I feel like she's so down to earth and like she's really a part of her brand which I feel like is why it's so successful is because she really appreciates and like wants to understand how to make it better like she was very open to conversation which I feel like is such a rarity it's also just such a good shoe putting a little bit more blush just up here this section of your face that line that I talk about is something that I use a lot in my makeup because you really

don't want to like bring the blush up over this there's like a white line right here you want to take the blush above it and below it but you should always have that kind of highlight that goes up to here because that's what kind of pulls your face back and gives you that gives you that feline snatched mug that the girls are out here obsessing over so I'm going to take a little bit of this Chanel highlighter and you put it above like you put it on the bag also I really only have a bag

on this side that's the thing it's like sometimes your face is unsymmetrical it's important to like really match your routine to your face I want to say like third grade my mom got sticker eyes Shadow things it's like in like magazines or whatever and you would like put it on your eye and you would like rub it and then you would like peel the sticker off and it was like an eye shadow look on your face my mom and I did that and I actually have a picture of us just like that was like the

first moment that I really remember makeup and Beauty since that moment I really was enamored with it also just like being queer being trans I think that like there was always a real big Focus around Beauty for me and I think that like sometimes unrealistically but I think it's important to like note that like a lot of people within my community are very centered around makeup and like it's a big part of expression in in the community and I think that like if you're going to express it girl you better express it with a smokey

eye period This is the real tip for the nose cuz I'm very picky about my nose if you look up there's like a line right there you take it onto the sides just that one line there will kind of like bring attention to that part of the nose and then the bronze will push it up and the highlighter will kind of be there kind of like a focal point and then I'm going to use my favorite ever powder I learned about this powder when I was getting my makeup done by Pat's team for the Oscars

probably one of my first shows was Tom Ford in like 2021 20 all of the like super models all the girls that I like looked at for years online I met them and they were so nice and that's one thing that like I always talk about is like just how nice people were and like I always had this perception that models were mean or they were standoffish or they felt like each other were competition and like that was really what showed me that that isn't true I was welcomed with such open arms and I feel

like that's something so rare and I remember that and I think about that to this day I'm ready to get into the eye this is like the eye that I've done since I was like in eth grade like literally it's always been this one smokey eye if you're talking best products Pat McGrath when it comes to ey Shadow chef's kiss I have a brown s to this that I use all the time and I'm just going to put it in my eye and close it and go up like that and then what you're going to

do is you're going to connect the end part to the front of your eyes and I'm going to just blend it out with just an empty brush there's the base and then we're going to continue doing this you see that side profile look at that you see this so anyway what I'm going to do is I'm going to do the same thing with I put it into the corner of my eye and close it and pull it up like that this is my like go-to when it comes to eyeliner the BYO what I really really

love when it comes to eyeliner and eyes Shadow is getting really close into that waterline because it gives you that kind of Adriana Lima like stare where it's like muggy I met Adriana the first time I did the Victoria Secret movie and it was so incredible because I was again so nervous to meet all these girls just considering that like they were in fashion at a different time and like I feel like there was a lot more competition than there is now and when I tell you she was literally the sweetest person I've ever met

like so genuine so nice she literally said hi to everybody when it came to like the atier the casting the PA every person felt welcomed around her I feel like that's something I really value I'm going to use another um round of touche claw I'm just going to go over my eye one more time with this so now while everything is setting and I'm kind of figuring out if this is what I want I'm going to do a quick singing Break okay hey come on go with me hey girl you better come in hey okay

well there's somebody here really trying to help me but she's scared to say scared of sing right now but it's okay you guys and then this is the tip that I learned that I have taught all of my makeup friends take a really good black um pencil liner you go up on top and the color that you started with that brown color which you're going to do on the black you're going to take a bit of that on a really flat brush but you Pat it and it'll set the pencil liner so that it stays

all day all night I'm going to dip back into this palette and grab just a little shade Maybe it's like this one and there you go so this is the final eyes Shadow I love a good curl on eyelashes so I'm going to probably spend a second doing this after I curl my lashes I'm going to use my St Leon mascara I feel like this is a really good mascara adds length but it doesn't really Clump up up glossier brow and clear it's nice cuz when my eyebrows get a little bit yellow it's not fully

clear it's like white so it kind of gives you some dimension in your eyebrows I've bleached them at Versace a couple years ago ever since then I've had them bleach like I tried to dye them back and it just I didn't feel like myself and I'm like you know what a bleach brow it is a bleach brow it is y'all see what it's doing to the to the eyes I love a good lip at McGrath I like to do overline because someone told me once that I have slit lips and I've never let that rest

and my last step anytime I get fabulous is a good perfume oh this is that like get you a husband with like a Birkin scent like yes girl you will get that bag this is the final beat love you guys bye vog
