Alex Steinherr

The sad thing is, Alex is naturally a very attractive woman

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I just don't understand why anyone would want to invite and accept fake compliments based on a version of themselves that is not remotely real

I think she's also one of those people whose weight is very up and down. No judgement, I'm the same myself. But there's multiple videos of her on YouTube with notable fluctuations in weight.

Sometimes I really feel for her because it must be awful being on camera if you're that self-conscious. But then again she's chosen the worst industry to work in for self-image.

I mean, seriously ... this image that shows how Alex presented herself on Instagram VERSUS a picture somebody else took at the same event (an Augustinus Bader haircare launch) - I have such intense second-hand embarrassment at how she is willing to be this outrageously deceitful.
My friends would crucify me if I tried to pull this sh*t. They'd give me the reality check I needed right away.

Also, isn't it more sensible as a beauty content creator to have people be pleasantly surprised when they meet you in person rather than create a scenario in which your followers are baffled and disappointed when they see what you "really look like"?

It's like catfishing on dating apps. You're just risking a very awkward encounter of your own making.

Anyway, I'll lay off the Alex slander now. Just felt compelled to vent excessively because I just find this level of active deceit a little unsettling. Maybe Alex deserves more compassion from me. This behaviour is probably driven by deep insecurity and some degree of self-loathing which is very sad and I do not want that for any woman. I just think we need to abolish crazy beauty filters and start re-training our senses to appreciate sensible standards of beauty.

 

[WTFness]

Phuck her for recommending skincare products with this extremely heavily altered, blurred and overlit TikTok. Chin & jawline have been completely reshaped with an app as usual.

[WTFness]

I meant to comment on the eyebrow threading stories I lie back and close my eyes when I get mine done. Also, her head looks like an egg.

Seriously, I just couldn’t start filming myself pouting and making kissy lips when someone is working on my face or hair. I’d feel like a gold star twat.

It’s amazing how much her head looks so egg-like in her videos. They should cast her as Humpty Dumpty in panto.

And to continue my pathetic obsession, I’ve noticed that Alex has this new thing, especially on TikTok where she keeps placing her finger on her chin. It looks like a new mannerism she’s trying out. It just struck me as a bit odd, like, you never used to do this before. I don’t know if she thinks it helps make her face appear even more slender?

 

[WTFness]

I recall A.S posting her “I don’t blur my skin with filters!” statement years ago around the same time she also posted a video promoting this product.

If this isn’t **blurred** I don’t know what is!

---
Sooooo blurred in her recent IG live interview too

 

[WTFness]

She’s so incredibly self-conscious in front of the camera, even when she’s just trying clothes on, I noticed an awkwardness

Look closely! She’s sucking her cheeks in and doing that weird pout the whole time

 

[yessenia_d]

You know, for a lot of people looking like Jodie Comer's continental cool auntie who's lived a little would be #goals but nope, she wants to look like a twenty-something Blade Runner 2049 android who'll be selling you insurance or tampons in future hologram ads instead. Just weird.

 

[I'veloveditforyears]

The filters make her look like an over sexed hard boiled egg.

 

[Deevee47]

The glitching on the reel tells us that and so do the influencer in the wild caught pics of her without her filters. She’s a fraud.

They are NOT her cheekbones right?!

 

[WTFness]

Alex Steinherr: People who accuse me of using beauty filters are just haters! I don’t use filters or edit my face!!

Also Alex Steinherr:

 

[cocochino]

I used to follow Alex, but I haven’t seen her for a couple years. I was just scrolling Instagram and stumbled on a recent reel of her and WTF has she done to her face!! I thought maybe she’d had buccal fat removal, lost heaps of weight, or aged dramatically!

I had to come to tattle for answers because I was shocked.

So turns out it’s a filter?! Crazy.

 

[Callan]

It's really disheartening that women like her seem scared to be in their 40's. What a terrible thing to project.

 

[D2them]

I met her in 2018...loud, very tall and very bronzed

 

[WTFness]

Last week reality Vs this week’s extreme beauty filtering. Because Alex thinks nobody’s gonna notice or she knows she’s deleting every comment from people who do notice

 

[it’s not been changed?!]

Skin as smooth as my 9 month old niece

 

[WTFness]

They are NOT her cheekbones right?!

It’s the fact she takes humongous liberties in enhancing her features.
The fact it isn’t enough to just use an app to make her face a little less chubby makes her seem so shamelessly vain and dishonest.
Instead of “Let me just slim my face down a tiny bit”, she wants the full works! She must think, “Yes, I will use an app to give myself 90s Kate Moss-level hollowed cheekbones, thank you very much! To hell with integrity and authenticity!”
The audacity! And then she publicly DENIES it and says people are just jealous.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Look how much more attractive she is in her normal state, she's smiling and enthusiastic, and has a normal face. And then the Guy Fawkes smize photo she's eye fucking herself and doesn't resemble a real life human person

 

[FiltersGoneWild]

I've said it before, but she's a good-looking woman; handsome rather than dainty, which is probably what irks her, and she looks her age rather than fresh out of uni which I wish all beauty editors and instagrammers would realise is not a bad thing. She looks perfectly fine irl. But online she looks like a discarded initial sketch for an Avatar character. I just do not understand why she thinks that's the better option.

The “discarded initial sketch for an avatar character” line …

I met her a few years ago in person, and she does have really good skin.

If you've known her from her Glamour days you might remember that she did a diet feature with the magazine (see this summary by the daily mail: https://www.archive.is/oldest/https...Faddy-diets-fatter--did-woman-lose-stone.html ) and she's talked loads about being uncomfortable with her weight.

By her own admission, she gains weight on her face. I'm guessing she gained weight over lock down and feels really uncomfortable, and she'd rather have people say 'oh you filter' because the argument is that everyone does vs people saying 'wow, you gained weight' which would be much harder to deal with. I am not saying it's okay, but my guess is that's why.

I’ve seen her in person too. Skin is great in terms of no hyperpigmentation, no brown spots. Fantastically even toned skin and I don’t think anyone on here denies she has good skin BUT in person, what I saw and what so many videos on YouTube show is, her facial skin isn’t as taut, firm, and wrinkle free as she tries to present. She’s quite wrinkled around the eyes in person and has prominent nasolabial lines which she blurs/smooths out completely on her IG.


Wen she got really slim one year (see pic below), I thought her lower face shape - jaw area stayed the same but with less chubby cheeks :

because her heavy, longer jaw is down to natural bone structure but yes, excess weight does go straight to her cheeks like most of us but in my opinion, when she became her most slender self a few years ago, she did not suddenly have a heart-shaped face and a little, delicate pointy chin.
She’s clearly very uncomfortable with how she really looks. I don’t like how I look either but I’d never use apps to make myself look 10-15 years younger, removing every wrinkle and all human skin texture and then have the cheek to say “I don’t blur or retouch my face!”

However you slice it, whether you’re for or against Alex as a personality, all evidence suggests she’s an actively dishonest person.
I know she clearly has insecurities and I can relate to that but I’d never present this super-enhanced beautified version of myself on social media and then insist it’s genuinely how I look in real life. She harps on about how she is just blessed with great skin but if she really thinks her skin is that great, why the extreme blurring?!
