Hello fashion, it's Alexa to me. I'm going to do some 90s nude

glam

, but I'm going to start with some skincare, so I always like to start with a really clean face, whether that's wiping my face or using a washcloth. you want to get excess like oil or anything that builds up throughout the day, so after I cleanse my face I like to use a little moisturizer. I'm obsessed with eminence, it's all organic and made from vegetables and you know. botanical flowers it's all natural spray it on my face it's also very refreshing so after using the hydrating mist I like to use a little serum under my primer my mom is a makeup artist and she loves skin so like my whole life I would just listen wash your face, wash your face, wash your face like every night.

My great-grandmother really inspired her to use creams and serums from a very young age, so she's always been very good about sharing all those products with me, so I. I really want to say that skin is number one for me, so after applying my serum I like to use the Dior backstage primer. I like to use a fluffy brush. I used to use a sponge, but I like the feel of fluffy fur. brush and I like to work it into my skin without it being too heavy, so my mom, I mean, I grew up watching her do makeup.

I remember she had to do it. I was working on a Mac and had to do a 10-minute editorial. Look, she brought me and I was like 12 years old and she gave me the most beautiful, crazy editorial look and I loved it. I didn't want to take it off, but she's very good with her eyes and she loves to blend, so like my whole life, she's always been like blend blend blend she doesn't like hard lines to bring them down to my neck sam the creator of

euphoria

really likes makeup and I did three extensive mood boards for my look for maddie and him.

The makeup artists were wonderful and very collaborative, so it was a lot of fun because we were able to work together on each look and I always did my own wing because that's something that characterizes me, but now I'm going to go. and I use my nars concealer. I always put it up and around my eye just to have that base for my eyeshadow and I put it around my nose whenever I'm looking for inspiration. I like to look at a lot of um like Editorial from the 90s, 60s and 70s, um, I like that sometimes I don't even look for makeup.

I just look up the editorial and then I look at a lot of Cher and different artists from back in the day and I like not to do that. like just recreating it completely, but just taking parts of each of those images and doing my own thing growing up in high school in high school in Los Angeles, like I always had my hair done and I had my little baby hair and my gold jewelry and especially because I don't know, it's just within my culture, so I think it has influenced my appearance for sure. My mom influenced her a lot in the sense that growing up I had fashion magazines around me.

I like to bake under my eyes while doing my eyeshadow so I just use the sponge, this one has a flat end. I love baking. I don't bake anywhere else on my face. Just below the eye. I think it also helps when you apply eyeshadow. Only if something falls. It's really, you can take it off very easily. I also have very hollow eyes and I feel like this, I don't know, enlightens me. It seems crazy, but it works. I'll use it like a little bit. creamy nude and I like to apply it on the eye. I'm going to go into my crease with a slightly darker color and I'm going to take this color here and work into my crease and after this I'm going to use a different brush. and they blend together even more, I think my character on the show is like an elevated version of my high school makeup.

I definitely started doing my wing really early, I think in high school and it was like a wing and a lot of lip gloss and with Maddie, I think we really went there with the looks. I come in with a little bit of this pat on pat mcgrath on the dior. I know that nine days is always like just mate, but I really liked it. all shimmer eyeshadows at the moment, so this one has a little bit of brown and gold in it. Okay, after I do everything I like, I'll do the eyelid again. I'm still blending because I don't want my mom to yell at him.

I'm going to put a little more of this Pat McGrath gloss on the eyelid. Okay, I'm going to add a little highlight under the eyebrow. I'm going to take a little bit of that and put it right under my eyebrow. I'm going to go back to the eye shadow, but I want to start with the wing, so I just use this Pat McGrath pen and start on the outer corner of my eye, I really like the pointy one, I don't. I don't like it too curled up either, I don't know, it's kind of like I've done it, I just follow my eye here, but it just needs to be very pointy, so I start like that and then I always put a Q-tip on and just bring in the inside corners. to give me that fierce jaguar look.

I'm going to do some blush. I used to hate blush because my mom was very obsessed with blush and she used to put a lot of blush on me and I always said not to blush like before, she used to put makeup on me and now I love blush and she always said smile. I bring it a little bit towards my hairline, so I like to use this Dior contour palette um. It's going to do a little bit of contouring when I bring it up to my cheek, so now that I've done my contouring, I'm just going to use a little bit of bronzer.

I just like to sprinkle lightly. I'm going to apply a little bit of this Dior highlighter. I'm going to mix these two. It's cute. Zendaya has been fantastic to work with. I think that was one of the best parts of filming. All connected instantly I think we both love makeup. We both love dressing up and being

glam

orous, so I think we both get really excited about each other's looks, so I'm going to jump in. I'm huge. I never stop using lip liner. So I'm going to use this Dior lip liner and sometimes I even layer lip liners, which I think I might do today.

Now I'm going to use some brown. I once recreated a Marilyn Monroe look and I just watched her makeup artist's process and apparently they were going to put seven different reds on her lip, so I did it, I put a lot of reds on. You can see it well. I think the Euphoria pilot was the only episode they didn't paint me in. lips and it kills me now I'm going to wear a light nude shade okay now that I've done nude lipstick I'm going to wear some brown gloss growing up and my mom always had. Killing the '90s look so she always had her lip liner and her nude lip and I've always been drawn to '90s supermodels and editorials and I think that's like my signature thing that I just became, I'm putting another layer of gloss on top of this Dior lip maximizer just to give it a little bit of something in the center.

My nails are not acrylic, they are soft gels and I think I have had long nails since high school. so I've had my wings and my nails, it's always my thing, oh, my eyebrows, I can't forget them, so I don't fill them in, um, not because I don't like it, I just don't like it. I know how and have done it for about three years. I haven't done anything to my eyebrows and I recently shaped them, so it's new for me, but I like to apply eyebrow gel like I can't. I go anywhere without my brow gel and I like to brush them and remove my mascara.

I recently got eyelash extensions and you're not supposed to put on mascara, but I just have to. I'm addicted to mascara, I always do this and fan my eyelashes and everyone always laughs at me. I love playing Maddie. I think she really knows. I keep saying that she really pushed me out of my comfort zone in a lot of ways because it was the first time I felt good. It's not the first time, but with her, since we worked on it for so long, I was able to really get into her and grow with her, and you know sometimes it makes me angry with some of her decisions.

It's bold, I think she's dealing with it. with a lot of emotional trauma at home and a lot of her decisions are, you know, not the smartest, but she's doing the best she can. It was also super fun because it was the first time I had a character where I got to play with makeup and play with clothes and be so involved in that process, honestly I love seeing everyone's reactions, I love seeing the memes and everyone's tweets, so funny, so I'm just, yeah, I'm enjoying it, I'm relieved, you know. I bought it for a long time, so I'm relieved that it's out now and now people can take it in when I read the script.

I thought it all makes sense and I want to do it 100%. Nudity was difficult for me. because you know I'm not really, I just don't feel comfortable like that publicly so it was hard for me but it definitely, like I said, it took me out of my comfort zone and after I did it and I saw it, it's just not it's so serious and I think everything we do on the show we don't glorify it, I think we also show all the consequences and yeah, I mean it's gotten a really good response so I think I think I think we did what we came to do. do.

I think the look is finished, so now I'm just going to set it with the same moisturizing mix I used at the beginning just to let everything soak into the skin. This is my end. Look, thanks for watching and hopefully we tune in before you do.
